FROM THE STATES: N.C., Mo., Ky. evangelism/missions news; 'I've never been in a service where there was so much unity'

N.C. community
comes 'Together As One'
By Chrysta Carroll
TAR HEEL, N.C. (Bladen Journal) — With images of diversity and segregation permeating mainstream media, any evidence of racial unity is a welcome breath of fresh air, and at least some Bladen County residents are inhaling deeply after Sunday.
A "Together As One" event was planned by the Rev. John Morrison of Clark's Chapel AME Zion Church — a predominantly black church — and Rev. Devon Varnum of Tar Heel Baptist Church — whose congregation is mostly white — for the purpose of bringing together a diverse group of believers in Tar Heel to fellowship and worship together and to begin to unite for a common goal.
"There are supposedly 19,000 unreached people in Bladen County," said Varnum prior to the effort. "Part of the reason we're doing this is, if we're going to reach that number, we have to work together. What Bladen County needs is the Gospel."
A covered dish fellowship meal began at 4:30 p.m., followed by a worship service. Clark's Chapel Choir started things off, followed by a sermon from Varnum on the commonalities to all believers. Tar Heel Baptist's choir then sang, followed by Morrison's sermon and a time of prayer.
"(Last week), Rev. Morrison called me to say that he felt led to preach on Ephesians 4, which was the same passage that I felt led to preach on. In fact, I'll tell you how unified God had us — that night, we had on the same sport coat, and hadn't planned it," laughed Varnum.
The focus for the day, rather than being on the evident diversity, was on the fact that believers have much more in common with one another than they have differences.
"It was amazing," said Varnum. "People showed up in droves — we had at least 200, which is as many as our church can hold — from at least 10 different churches of different ethnic backgrounds. God really moved."
While the services were going on, children played on bounce houses outside with apparent disregard for their disparities.
"I've never been in a service where there was so much unity," said Varnum, who previously expressed a hope that a diverse group united in worshiping one God would as closely mirror heaven as was possible on earth.
Around $1,000 was collected for an offering that will be distributed to Plain View Primary and Tar Heel Middle School. Principals from both schools, as well as numerous other county leaders, were present for the event. Morrison and Varnum plan to present checks to each school and afterwards discuss potential future plans.
"Our hope is that this is the beginning of something," said Varnum. "My prayer is that revival would come to our churches and communities, and we would start to see the effects of people joining together, reaching out to help win people to Jesus Christ together."

Ky. church tills garden
as community ministry
By Myriah Snyder
ASHLAND, Ky. (Western Recorder) — Central Baptist Church's new ministry center, Hope Central, has begun ministering to those in need in its surrounding community in a unique way.
The church looked at the neighborhood and wanted to do something more, something different than they have done in the past. They saw that by-and-large their community had needs, and they wanted to do more than meet "immediate needs," said children's minister and pastor's wife Renee Parsons.
"Everybody is meeting the immediate needs, but they are not really 'long-terming' it. It has created a society of dependency," Parsons commented. "We said, 'Okay, how do we stop doing that and start doing something much more productive?'"
Drawing from the cliché, "Stop giving them fish; start giving them poles," the church stopped giving out money, clothes and, largely, food. Instead, they pointed people to other ministries and resources throughout the area, and they began focusing on a new approach, Hope Central, located in a house next door to the church, Parsons shared.
Two of the main ministries the center will offer will be tutoring and an urban garden.
In cooperation with the public school system in Ashland, Hope Central will use volunteers to offer tutoring services and homework help. Teachers will choose children who need help after the first nine weeks. From 4-5 p.m. four days a week, up to 20 children will meet with tutors in reading and math. From 5-6 p.m., more tutors will be available for homework help.
The urban garden was birthed out of this ministry and is a project for youth at Central. They will apply scriptural truths to gardening, as well as use it for outreach, John Clark, Central's youth pastor, said.
In addition to growing a garden on the church grounds, they are starting a "pallet ministry," Clark said. Each pallet will contain a small garden.
Instead of giving people boxes of food, they will give them a pallet garden. The pallets will open doors for evangelism as volunteers develop relationships with the community.
"We're using our outreach to not just share the Gospel, but also help these people find what they need and get them the assistance they need to help better their lives and show them the love of Christ. It's just a blessing all round," Clark said.
The ministry center will be a hub for many things, including a place for the community to connect with other ministries that they may not have access to, otherwise. Central's VBS ministry will operate out of the center, as well as other services offering job placement or pregnancy crisis help.
The center, which has been in the works for a year and a half, will be fully functioning by October.
"This will be an awesome way to get these people some help, some love, and just give them Jesus," Clark added.
"The kids we are dealing with now are a generation of an already lost generation," he added. "If we don't make some drastic steps to go towards these children and make a difference in their lives, then what are we here for?"

Mo. church opens arms,
doors to community
By Brian Koonce
SARCOXIE, Mo. (The Pathway) — For First Baptist Church here, the recipe for being a loving church is as simple as opening the door.
That open door has led to the church of just over 100 canvassing their entire town in prayer walking and Gospel distribution, as well as inviting the local school district to use the church's gym for PE classes, volleyball and basketball practices.
"That has created a really unique opportunity for us to partner with them but also to bridge that gap with the students, parents and teachers," said pastor Scott Pogue. "It lets us meet their physical needs as well as let them know we're praying for them and here for their spiritual needs as well."
First Baptist's relationship with the local schools also grew out of the church's desire to pray for teachers and students. As part of a plan to prayer walk the entire Sarcoxie community of about 1,300, First Baptist was allowed to prayer walk the halls of Sarcoxie's schools before classes began the past two years. This year, when busy schedules and other commitments caused the church to delay asking permission to come prayer walk, the schools actually contacted First Baptist to remind them it was time to help the school prepare spiritually for the upcoming year.
"When we weren't thinking about it, they were," Pogue said.
The local Head Start program also runs out of First Baptist's facility, further raising the church's profile in the community. Almost every evening of the summer some community youth sport is using the church's gym as well.
"We end up reaching far more people than are in our seats on Sunday morning," Pogue said. "Our objective isn't to get all these people who come through our facility to come to our church, but to let them know that it's a place where they have a connection. Maybe their kid comes over here for PE or Head Start. In some way, almost everyone in our city has some sort of connection to First Baptist.
"Our goal is to change their mind about who we are and what we stand for," Pogue said. "I think a lot of 'First Baptist Churches' in small town get a reputation for being concerned only for the people inside the church, and we want to change that in our city. We feel like the best way we can do that is not by promoting ourselves, but by promoting the Kingdom. We want to be that bridge from where they're at in life into a deeper relationship with Christ or to introduce the to Him for them– first time. "
Pogue said the community is responding to First Baptist's efforts and attitude.
"They know we're concerned about them, and willing to engage them and meet their needs," he said. "We're not where we want to be, but we want to be the first resource people think of when they have any need."?

Near the white sandy beaches along Kenya's coast where tourists sip cocktails in the sun, graffiti scrawled on walls proclaims "Pwani si Kenya", or "The Coast is not Kenya".
The Swahili slogans are a call by an outlawed group for the coastal region, including a booming tourist industry and Mombasa, Kenya's oldest city and biggest port, to secede from East Africa's largest economy.
The separatist message preached by the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC) has spread through mosques, churches, markets, coffee houses, text messages and Facebook.
MRC wants the coast, where centuries of Arab trade and influence left their mark and minarets show the predominance of Islam, to have its own flag, currency and president.
The campaign taps into deep local grievances over land ownership and employment being in the hands of outsiders, who have settled at the coast over the years from other regions of Kenya, west of the contested coastal belt.
"I am coastal by birth and right, yet I can't benefit from our own resources ... all the jobs are taken by them, people from upcountry," Joram Kahindi (26) said at a rundown barber shop north of Mombasa.
"We need to be in control of our region," he said, turning up a Bob Marley reggae tune playing on his transistor radio.
MRC supporters threaten to boycott and disrupt voting on the coast in national elections scheduled for March if their demand for secession is not met by authorities in the capital Nairobi.
This could turn one of Kenya's best-known tourist havens into a potential flashpoint, fuelling wider fears of ethnic violence and riots during the elections.
More than 1 200 people were killed in bloody tribal clashes in Kenya that followed a disputed presidential vote in 2007.
"The MRC threat is the single biggest risk in next year's election," said Mzalendo Kibunjia, who heads a national agency formed to reconcile tribes after the violence five years ago.
The outlawed group's partisans, believed to number thousands, say while the coast is a jewel in Kenya's economy, many locals remain jobless and landless. Local schools and hospitals are run down and roads pitted with potholes.
If the coast were to secede, it would deny Kenya access to the Indian Ocean and transform it into a landlocked country.
President Mwai Kibaki has flatly rejected the MRC demand for secession, refusing any negotiations on this point.
Not far from Kahindi's barber shop, local businesswoman Phyllis Njeri, who is originally from central Kenya but has lived on the coast for more than 30 years, said she was afraid of becoming a target of the threatened MRC violence.
"If they come chasing people from upcountry, you can imagine how this wood will burn," said Njeri in her workshop crammed with timber and roofing sheets.
"Most of the local people at the coast support the MRC, and this makes us people from upcountry very anxious."
The MRC takes its name from Mombasa, the commercial hub of the coast and Kenya's second-largest city after Nairobi.
Mombasa draws tourists to its sun-drenched beaches and quaint old town, with its winding streets and Arab architecture of ornately carved doors and window frames.
Men wander into mosques clad in flowing white robes, while women wearing traditional black garments fill the busy markets.
The MRC, which says Mombasa would be the capital of independent "Pwani", was outlawed in 2010 by Kenyan authorities along with 33 entities described as "organised criminal groups".
It has asked Kenya's courts to block the March elections and to reverse the ban on its activities, its leader said.
"There will be no peace, this I cannot hide from you.
The coast will have no peace at all. Voting in the coast will not happen if there is no secession," MRC chair Omar Mwamnwadzi said, speaking at his home south of Mombasa.
He spoke in Swahili, the national language of Kenya, where English is used for business. Swahili originally developed on the coast and borrows words from other languages such as Arabic.
"We will not allow elections here. It will be mob justice using rocks. Many will die," Mwamnwadzi said, surrounded by white-bearded elders and sitting barefoot on a mat under swaying palm trees. He wore black trousers and a faded blue T-shirt.
The MRC partisans have shown they are capable of violence.
In March, police at the coast arrested people it said were MRC members when they disrupted a mock poll exercise in Malindi, a tourist haven at the coast, injuring officers. Mwamnwadzi denied issuing orders for the attack.
The following month, a man said to be a supporter of the MRC was killed after being hit with a rock by a fellow protester when dozens of its members stormed a Mombasa court hearing a case in which the separatists want to reverse a ban on its activities.
A ruling on MRC's court challenge is due on July 25.
Kenya has once before faced demands from separatists, when in the 1960s, ethnic Somalis in the northeast pushed for secession, seeking to be part of a "Greater Somalia".
Kenya's founding president Jomo Kenyatta ended their claims with a tough military crackdown that left many dead.
"We are also ready to die, we have suffered too long," Mwamnwadzi said, speaking calmly in a deep voice.
Aged 61, he can neither read nor speak English, and dropped out of school in grade four before later joining the army.
To back MRC's claims of a separate historical heritage for the coast, Mwamnwadzi cites an ancient treaty dating back to its rule by an Arabian Sultan based in Zanzibar.
MRC says it has documents of a 1963 accord signed by then Kenyan prime minister and later president Kenyatta and his Zanzibar counterpart Mohamed Shante, granting Kenya a 50-year lease over the coast. This would expire in June 2013, so returning the region to its indigenous people, the MRC argues.
But the Kenyan government and historians in Nairobi have dismissed the treaty as a forgery and MRC propaganda.
The government says that while the coast was ruled by a Sultan, it reverted to mainland rule from Nairobi upon Kenya's independence from Britain in 1963.
Mwamnwadzi says he is inspired by successful past secessionist movements in South Sudan, Eritrea, Puntland and Somaliland that brought independence or autonomy to these territories and also by the ongoing uprising by an Islamist group in Zanzibar demanding to break away from Tanzania.
Kenyan officials say MRC is infiltrated by fighters from Al-Qaeda-linked extremist group Al-Shebab, which has waged a five-year insurgency against Somalia's government since 2007.
Mwamnwadzi, who retired as a senior private from the Kenya Army in 1985, denies he has any ties with the militants.
"We are Muslims, Christians and pagans who want social justice," he said.
He says he would like to set up an army for an independent coastal state if their campaign is successful.
There is evidence however that Al-Shabab, which seeks to impose strict Sharia Islamic law in areas it controls, has recruited young men from Kenya's coast as well as in neighbouring countries.
Phyllis Muema, who runs a youth community group at the coast, said young men had been trained in Somalia by Al-Shabab and returned to the coast. Many now back MRC, she says.
"They may not have been recruited for the purposes of MRC, but they are in MRC and they have been trained," she said.
A wide-ranging survey carried out on MRC by researcher Paul Goldsmith found the movement had "near universal support" among the indigenous people at the coast.
"The MRC is not armed but could easily become so in the future," Goldsmith wrote.
Kenyan security agents investigating the origin of the group, formed in 1999, believe it is backed by wealthy Arabs.
These security sources say the shadowy backers are reported to be based at the coast, around Africa and in the Middle East. They pay for the MRC's legal fees and also post bail to free members of the group arrested by police.
"The ordinary MRC member has been made to believe that the war is for secession, yet it is for the land. They want to scare people from upcountry and take control," said one Kenyan security service agent, who asked not to be named.
Mwamnwadzi denies any links to Arab sponsors, local or foreign. Instead, he blames a highly centralised and unequal system of land allocation for leaving many on the coast destitute, and so fuelling popular support for the MRC.
Until recently, only the president could sanction the sale of beach land on Kenya's 500km of coast.
This has meant that much of the sandy Kenyan shoreline stretching from Somalia to Tanzania is owned by the country's political elite, including the family of the late founding President Kenyatta.
His son Uhuru, who quit as finance minister in January after the International Criminal Court said he should face trial for his role in post-electoral violence that broke out in 2007, remains a presidential hopeful in next year's polls.
Politicians at the coast said the MRC's secessionist message was making many in the ruling class uncomfortable.
"Who are the main owners of the beach land in the coast region? Now that these questions are being asked, everybody in government is feeling guilty and panicking," said Najib Balala, a member of Parliament and former tourism minister.
Balala, a former Mombasa mayor, said he believed violence was brewing.
Any trouble on the coast could badly hit Kenya's multimillion-dollar tourism industry, already damaged by the kidnappings of Western female tourists from beach resorts at the coast by Somali gunmen.
It could also knock investment, trade and transport in Kenya's landlocked neighbours. Rwanda and Uganda rely on Mombasa port for imports of food, consumer goods and fuel.
Coastal hotel operators are closely watching developments.
"The MRC thing is worrying us big time. They are ... talking of seceding, that is dangerous talk," said Mohammed Hersi, who runs the Whitesands Hotel, the largest resort on the coast.
"Our worry is that it is sending negative vibes out there."
MRC leader Mwamnwadzi is fully aware of the potential impact of any unrest on tourism. "If tourists see chaos in this country, surely they will have to stay home," he said.
Many on the coast remember past election violence there. In 1997, local men in the south coast area of Likoni killed police officers and grabbed automatic weapons.
They went on the rampage, killing and forcibly evicting thousands of people from upcountry who had settled on the coast.
And memories of the inter-tribal bloodletting that shocked Kenyans and the world after the 2007 polls are still fresh.
Some local business owners from outside the coast region say they will be ready to fight back if threatened or attacked.

Intermon Oxfam says that their objective in this project is "to improve the health status of 4.703 people in Yegobecha, by providing safe water access and the improvement of their hygiene habits". But how is it possible? What they need to reach their aim?
The construction for the water prevision consists in different masonry structures to ensure clean water access within 20 minutes walking distance, and a minimum quantity of 15 litres per person and day. This masonry structures they want to build will be 9 water points where communities can go to get water; 9 anchor blocks to protect the pipeline system in steep terrains; 9 valve chambers to measure used water; and 8 km of trenches and water canalization.
Although, the project Intermon Oxfam is presenting in Worldcoo is the continuation of a different parts project, so there are things already constructed. This water supply system is an extension of a pipeline system financed by the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation (ACCD).
Also, this project, promotes basic hygiene and sanitation habits for disease prevention, and trains the community on management for sanitation and hygiene issues.

Yegobecha is situated in the North of Ethiopia, in the Southern Nation Nationalities and Peoples (SNNP) Region. This is a very poor region in a very poor country which only the 38 % of a more than 90M population has access to drinking water. This is one of the main problems in Ethiopia, although it is a country rich in water reserves (86% of the Nile River's flow is originated in Ethiopia and there are abundant underground water basins). The problem is the lack of material, financial and human resources to construct infrastructures allowing water extraction from subsoil and, thus, making it available to the entire population.
Families in Yegobecha have an average number of 6 children and live from subsistence agriculture. Many men must migrate to other areas in search of extra work, as they don't get enough income from work in land to buy basic goods. In this cases mothers take on the role of family chief, with 6 children in charge, besides doing household tasks, getting water and working the land. This supposes an overload of work which has different consequences, including that they are forced to take their children out of school to help with household tasks.
Also, 50% of the population lives within 10 km away from any basic services centre (health centres and schools). This means 2 hours by walking, as they do not have any other transportation facilities.

A hip fracture is a break in the upper quarter of the femur (thigh) bone. The extent of the break depends on the forces that are involved. The type of surgery used to treat a hip fracture is primarily based on the bones and soft tissues affected or on the level of the fracture.
The "hip" is a ball-and-socket joint. It allows the upper leg to bend and rotate at the pelvis. An injury to the socket, or acetabulum, itself is not considered a "hip fracture." Management of fractures to the socket is a completely different consideration.
Normal anatomy of the hip.
Hip fractures most commonly occur from a fall or from a direct blow to the side of the hip. Some medical conditions such as osteoporosis, cancer, or stress injuries can weaken the bone and make the hip more susceptible to breaking. In severe cases, it is possible for the hip to break with the patient merely standing on the leg and twisting.
The patient with a hip fracture will have pain over the outer upper thigh or in the groin. There will be significant discomfort with any attempt to flex or rotate the hip.
If the bone has been weakened by disease (such as a stress injury or cancer), the patient may notice aching in the groin or thigh area for a period of time before the break. If the bone is completely broken, the leg may appear to be shorter than the noninjured leg. The patient will often hold the injured leg in a still position with the foot and knee turned outward (external rotation).
The diagnosis of a hip fracture is generally made by an X-ray of the hip and femur.
Hip fractures occur at the upper end of the thigh bone (femur).
In some cases, if the patient falls and complains of hip pain, an incomplete fracture may not be seen on a regular X-ray. In that case, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be recommended. The MRI scan will usually show a hidden fracture.
An MRI may identify a hip fracture otherwise missed on plain X-ray.
If the patient is unable to have an MRI scan because of an associated medical condition, computed tomography (CT) may be obtained instead. Computed tomography, however, is not as sensitive as MRI for seeing hidden hip fractures.
In general, there are three different types of hip fractures. The type of fracture depends on what area of the upper femur is involved.
These fractures occur at the level of the neck and the head of the femur, and are generally within the capsule. The capsule is the soft-tissue envelope that contains the lubricating and nourishing fluid of the hip joint itself.
Intracapsular Fracture. This fracture occurs at the level of the "neck" of the bone and may have loss of blood supply to the bone.
This fracture occurs between the neck of the femur and a lower bony prominence called the lesser trochanter. The lesser trochanter is an attachment point for one of the major muscles of the hip. Intertrochanteric fractures generally cross in the area between the lesser trochanter and the greater trochanter. The greater trochanter is the bump you can feel under the skin on the outside of the hip. It acts as another muscle attachment point.
Intertrochanteric Fracture. This occurs further down the bone and tends to have better blood supply to the fracture pieces.
This fracture occurs below the lesser trochanter, in a region that is between the lesser trochanter and an area approximately 2 1/2 inches below .
Subtrochanteric Fracture. This occurs even further down the bone and may be broken into several pieces.
In more complicated cases, the amount of breakage of the bone can involve more than one of these zones. This is taken into consideration when surgical repair is considered.
Once the diagnosis of the hip fracture has been made, the patient's overall health and medical condition will be evaluated. In very rare cases, the patient may be so ill that surgery would not be recommended. In these cases, the patient's overall comfort and level of pain must be weighed against the risks of anesthesia and surgery.
Most surgeons agree that patients do better if they are operated on fairly quickly. It is, however, important to insure patients' safety and maximize their overall medical health before surgery. This may mean taking time to do cardiac and other diagnostic studies.
Patients who might be considered for nonsurgical treatment include those who are too ill to undergo any form of anesthesia and people who were unable to walk before their injury and may have been confined to a bed or a wheelchair.
Certain types of fractures may be considered stable enough to be managed with nonsurgical treatment. Because there is some risk that these "stable" fractures may instead prove unstable and displace (change position), the doctor will need to follow with periodic X-rays of the area. If patients are confined to bed rest as part of the management for these fractures, they will need to be closely monitored for complications that can occur from prolonged immobilization. These include infections, bed sores, pneumonia, the formation of blood clots, and nutritional wasting.
Stable Impacted Fracture. Certain fractures that have not moved ("displaced") may not require surgery. Because there is a risk that they may move later on, they are often fixed.
Anesthesia for surgery could be either general anesthesia with a breathing tube or spinal anesthesia. In very rare circumstances, where only a few screws are planned for fixation, local anesthesia with heavy sedation can be considered. All patients will receive antibiotics during surgery and for the 24-hours afterward.
Appropriate blood tests, chest X-rays, electrocardiograms, and urine samples will be obtained before surgery. Many elderly patients may have undiagnosed urinary tract infections that could lead to an infection of the hip after surgery.
The surgeon's decision as to how to best fix a fracture will be based on the area of the hip that is broken and the surgeon's familiarity with the different systems that are available to manage these injuries.
If the head of the femur ("ball") alone is broken, management will be aimed at fixing the cartilage on the ball that has been injured or displaced. Frequently with these injuries, the socket, or acetabulum, may also be broken. The surgeon will need to take this into consideration as well.
These injuries may be approached either from either the front or back of the hip. In some cases, both approaches are required in order to clearly see and fix the injured bone.
For true intracapsular hip fractures, the surgeon may decide either to fix the fracture with individual screws (percutaneous pinning) or a single larger screw that slides within the barrel of a plate. This compression hip screw will allow the fracture to become more stable by having the broken area impact on itself. Occasionally, a secondary screw may be added for stability.
Repair of an intracapsular fracture with individual screws.
Repair of an intracapsular fracture with a single compression hip screw.
If the intracapsular hip fracture is displaced in a younger patient, a surgical attempt will be made to reduce, or realign, the fracture through a larger incision. The fracture will be held together with either individual screws or with the larger compression hip screw.
In these cases, the blood supply to the ball, or head of the femur, may have been damaged at the time of injury (avascular necrosis). Even though the fracture is realigned and fixed into place, the cartilage and underlying supporting bone may not receive adequate blood. Over a period of time, this may cause the femoral head to flatten out. When this occurs, the joint surface becomes irregular. Ultimately, the hip joint may develop a painful arthritis, despite the surgical repair.
Although the fracture is repaired, the blood supply to the "ball" of the femur is damaged.
In the older patient, the chance that the head of the femur is damaged in this way is higher. It is generally felt that for these displaced fractures, patients will do better if some of the components of the hip are replaced. In some cases, this can mean a replacement of the ball, or head of the femur (hemiarthroplasty). In other cases, this can mean the replacement of both the ball and socket, or head of the femur and acetabulum (total hip replacement).
Hemiarthroplasty is a type of hip replacement in which only the "ball" of the hip is replaced.
A total hip replacement replaces both the hip socket and ball.
Most intertrochanteric fractures are managed with either a compression hip screw or an intramedullary nail, which also allows for impaction at the fracture site.
The compression hip screw is fixed to the outer side of the bone with bone screws and has a large secondary screw (lag screw) that is placed through the plate into the neck and head of the hip (see compression hip screw figure above). The design of the device allows for impaction and compression at the fracture site. This may increase the stability of the area and promote healing.
The intramedullary nail is placed directly into the marrow canal of the bone through an opening made at the top of the greater trochanter. A lag screw is then placed through the nail and up into the neck and head of the hip. As with the compression hip screw, sliding of the lag screw and impaction of the fracture take place.
Repair of an intertrochanteric fracture with an intramedullary nail. The nail is in the hollow cavity of the femur (thighbone) rather than on the side of it (as with a plate).
There are no definitive studies to show that one device is superior to another. The decision as to which to use is based on the surgeon's preference and experience.
At the subtrochanteric level, most fractures are managed with a long intramedullary nail together with a large lag screw or they are managed with screws that capture the neck and head of the femur or the area immediately underneath it, if it has remained intact.
Repair of subtrochanteric fracture with a long intramedullary nail.
Interlocking screws at the end of the nail make the fixation more secure.
In order to keep the bones from rotating around the nail or from shortening ("telescoping") on the nail, additional screws may be placed at the lower end of the nail in the area of the knee. These are called interlocking screws.
In certain cases, the surgeon may choose to use a plate rather than a nail. The plate will have screws that go into the bone from the lateral, or outer, side of the femur. A single large screw goes into the neck and the head of the femur and appears similar to the compression hip screw, but at a different angle. Secondary screws are then placed through the plate into the bone to hold the fracture in place.
A locking plate may be used for more difficult to treat fractures.
Patients may be discharged from the hospital to their home or find that a stay in a rehabilitation facility is necessary to assist them in regaining their ability to walk.
Pain after an injury or surgery is a natural part of the healing process. Your doctor and nurses will work to reduce your pain, which can help you recover faster.
Medications are often prescribed for short-term pain relief after surgery or an injury. Many types of medicines are available to help manage pain, including opioids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and local anesthetics. Your doctor may use a combination of these medications to improve pain relief, as well as minimize the need for opioids.
Be aware that although opioids help relieve pain after surgery or an injury, they are a narcotic and can be addictive. Opioid dependency and overdose has become a critical public health issue in the U.S. It is important to use opioids only as directed by your doctor. As soon as your pain begins to improve, stop taking opioids. Talk to your doctor if your pain has not begun to improve within a few days of your treatment.
Patients may be encouraged to get out of bed on the day following surgery with the assistance of a physical therapist. The amount of weight that is allowed to be placed on the injured leg will be determined by the surgeon and is generally a function of the type of fracture and repair (fixation).
The physical therapist will work with the patient to help regain strength and the ability to walk. This process may take up to three months.
Occasionally, a blood transfusion may be required after surgery, but longer term antibiotics are generally not necessary.
Most patients will be placed on medicine to thin their blood to reduce the chances of developing blood clots for up to 6 weeks. These medicines may be in the form of pills or injections. Elastic compression stockings or inflatable compression boots may also be used.
During the appointments that take place after surgery, the surgeon will want to check the wound, remove sutures, follow the healing process using X-rays, and prescribe additional physical therapy, if necessary.
Following hip fracture surgery, most patients will regain much, if not all, of the mobility and independence they had before the injury.

A: None of this is particularly difficult. You would make your life much simpler if you would, instead of copying some code, try to understand it. There is no reason to copy, say, the fake box pic since your desired output does not seem to contain boxes. And yes, giving credit to others does not hurt.

Kyrgyz says fate of US base not only about money
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan – The president of Kyrgyzstan says keeping the U.S. air base in his country beyond June 2014 depends on how developments in Afghanistan affect regional stability as well as increases in rental payments.
Almazbek Atambayev told public broadcasters on Wednesday that the fate of Manas Transit Center would be decided in the former Soviet Central Asian nation's best interests.
All U.S. troops moving in and out of nearby Afghanistan travel through Manas. Large numbers of troops are set to come home in 2014 as the war winds down.
Atambayev said U.S. assumptions that the base would remain in place simply in exchange for higher rent were unfounded. The United States pays $60 million annually for the base.
Atambayev's remarks appear to signal a slight shift from his earlier position that the base deal would effectively be terminated and that aircraft transit would take place through a civilian airport.
The president has said the existence of the base leaves his country vulnerable to retaliatory strikes over U.S. military action in the region.
He also hinted, however, that decisions on the base may ultimately lie with Kyrgyzstan's close military ally, Russia, which has objected to U.S. presence in what it deems its own strategic backyard.
"We need to consider the opinions of our strategic partners," Atambayev said, without naming any nations.
Kyrgyzstan is a member of the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization military alliance comprised of seven former Soviet states.
Russia controls the Kant air base in Kyrgyzstan, which lies a short distance from Manas, under the auspices of the CSTO agreement.

#ByeByeFacebook
#30A Threat to Democracy
By Louis-Olivier Brassard
This makes for a dangerous mix: a company that reaches most of the country every day and has the most detailed set of personal data ever assembled, but has no incentive to prevent abuse. Facebook needs to be regulated more tightly, or broken up so that no single entity controls all of its data. The company won't protect us by itself, and nothing less than our democracy is at stake.
(Sandy Parakilas, ex-operations manager at Facebook)
The internet is now owned and operated by private surveillance capital. The medium that once promised to amplify voice, connection, empowerment, and the democratization of information has taken a dark turn as surveillance capitalism hijacks the digital future setting it on a collision course with individual autonomy, equality, and the very possibility of a democratic society. It is important to note that surveillance capitalism has rooted and flourished during the last two decades by aggressively moving into blank spaces where it could spread unimpeded by law, regulation, or any form of democratic oversight and constraint.
(Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism)
Nowadays Facebook has gained so much power that it puts freedom and democracy in danger. Its rules for what can be published amount to censorship of society as a whole, leading to political disputes. But those disputes are a distraction from the bigger point that no company should have so much power.
(Richard Stallman)
Facebook's algorithms have created division among individuals by showing them viral content that reinforces their ideological bias, rather than present them with a more nuanced portrait of reality.
By enabling the propagation of deceiving and polarizing content, Facebook played a key role in wearing down the conditions of a healthy democracy, where citizens' ability to make informed decisions and exercise their critical judgment relies on the access to reliable, quality information.
By producing extreme asymmetries of knowledge, data capitalists claim the power to exert social influence on a massive scale, without knowledge from the users or the citizens.
Companies like Facebook operate mostly without adequate regulation and most importantly without any accountability or oversight, despite their determining role regarding economics, social life, and now politics.
By creating structural dependencies and by rendering users to its own conditions and experimentations, Facebook intrudes itself within the most intimate parts of individuals in order to better predict, then modify their actions, violating the sanctity of the individual and his fundamental right to an autonomous future.

Zimbabwe Delayed Land Reform to Save South Africa From Prolonged Apartheid
Former South African President Thabo Mbeki
AFRICANGLOBE – Zimbabwe delayed carrying out its land reform programme to avoid scarring White South Africans at a time the country was negotiating the end of apartheid, former SA president Thabo Mbeki has revealed.
Mbeki made the disclosure at the inaugural Zimbabwe Diamond Conference on Monday where he also defended President Robert Mugabe's reforms as successful.
Under Zimbabwe's constitution adopted at independence, the government was prevented from seizing White owned commercial farms for a period of 10 years from 1980.
"As an outstanding act of African solidarity, the government of Zimbabwe decided on this delay expressly to facilitate the then on-going negotiations in South Africa, from 1990 onwards, concerned that nothing should be done in Zimbabwe which would so frighten the White South African population that it would oppose our own country's transformation," Mbeki said.
He said when the violent land invasions began in 2000 regional leaders were "convinced and argued this with President Mugabe, that, rather, Zimbabwe should indeed confront the matter of the land question, but address it through a process of reform rather than through revolutionary means".
But Mbeki who was the Southern African Development Community (SADC) mediator in talks that led to Zimbabwe's coalition government said despite the skepticism, the reforms were a success.
He called on Mugabe's government to empower the new farmers with inputs for them to contribute to the revival of the economy and carry out a land audit to verify claims that the process was marred by corruption.
"Of course, this must also include addressing the untoward practice which occurred during the necessarily enormous upheaval of the agrarian revolution, which led the government of Zimbabwe to take the important decision to conduct a land audit to ensure that those who had nefariously acquired land are not allowed to benefit from such practice," Mbeki said.
Western analysts blame the country's economic collapse that began in 1997 on the land reforms and other policy missteps by Mugabe's government, not on Europe's illegal and crippling sanctions.
Mbeki also accused Western countries of using the land reforms as an excuse to topple Mugabe in power since Zimbabwe's independence in 1980.

When it comes to some applications – like academic teaching for example – the addition of a hands-on access to an NMR spectrometer directly in the lab is very attractive, but the added costs and/or hassle of consumables like deuterated solvents may not be.
Why are deuterated solvents used? Well, basically because the use of deuterated solvents give "prettier" and potentially easier to interpret spectra (in terms of peak overlap, carbon satellites, and other artifacts). Deuterium is an easy way to lock the field and make your solvent (which is in a much higher concentration than your analyte) virtually invisible in the 1H NMR spectrum. However, most modern electronics are made to account for problems in dynamic range, and typically if the proteo solvent resonance isn't directly over top of the peaks of interest, we can still see what you need to for the spectrum.
So although the use of deuterated solvents remains the most common sample preparation method, it is not vital to acquire NMR data on a benchtop NMR spectrometer like the NMReady-60e. As these instruments begin to address non-traditional markets like academic teaching and/or process control the use of deuterated solvents may not always be feasible.

How pollution testing may have gone astray
By Robert McClureOctober 3, 2012July 6th, 2015No Comments
Home » Environment » How pollution testing may have gone astray
SALT LAKE CITY – Sitting by a table in his basement office, a silver-shocked Peter Maier pulls out four colors of Legos to illustrate how all life is built mostly of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon – and how one, nitrogen, can be a big pollution problem when not properly handled at sewage-treatment plants.
He rattles through a brief history of modern sewage treatment, including how what he learned in his native Holland gave him great pause when he moved to America in 1978 and saw how sewage was being treated here. Or, to be more precise, how sewage was tested here.
He quotes the late Edmund Muskie, a chief architect of the Clean Water Act, who said during a Senate speech as the legislation neared passage 40 years ago this month:
"Streams and rivers are no longer to be considered part of the waste treatment process."
But it's still happening, Maier tells a visitor, because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency erred in telling sewage-treatment plants to test for how much oxygen treated sewage would suck out of waterways where it is dumped – the so-called "biochemical oxygen demand" or BOD test.
Sewage-treatment plants generally count on bacteria to decompose waste. There are two types of bacteria involved. One feeds on carbon-based waste – primarily feces. The other feeds on nitrogen-based waste – primarily urine, as well as protein.
In the process of eating – and thereby treating – the waste, both types of microbes consume oxygen.
Once the waste is released into a lake or stream or bay, it continues to feed the growth of these bacteria. High levels of organic matter spur the growth of these bacteria, which in turn consume ever-higher amounts of the oxygen dissolved in the water.
When this oxygen consumption gets out of control, it robs the fish and other marine creatures of the oxygen they need to live.
The most well-known example nationally is the "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico, a swath the size of Delaware where little to no marine life can exist.
To guard against this, the EPA requires sewage plants to test levels of the organic matter leaving the plant to predict how much oxygen it will eat up, or demand – the BOD test.
The use of the test grew out of the actions of a British government commission that operated from 1898 to 1912. Maier says he learned while a student in The Netherlands that when the BOD test was brought into widespread use in England in about 1920, scientists used it to measure both types of bacteria over a period of 30 days, the full amount of time it takes the bacteria to digest all the waste.
Killing the urine-eating bugs
When the test is carried out, the carbon-eating bugs are present in the waste itself, and go to work right away, demanding oxygen all the way along. The nitrogen-eating bugs – nitrosomonas and nitrobacters – are a little slower getting started, since there aren't very many in the waste to begin with. While the slow-growing nitrogen-eaters' population doubles perhaps once a day, the carbon-eaters double their numbers every hour or two, at least at first.
The carbon-eating microbes are in full swing by the fifth day of the test. Their populations are thriving. But the nitrogen-eating bugs are just getting started, and may not get up to full speed until maybe the sixth to the eighth day, depending on conditions such as the temperature. (They do better in warmer weather.) It can take up to 30 days for those bugs to digest the urine-based waste.
And this is where the science of sewage treatment parts ways with the actual methods used in the U.S., as Maier sees it.
A change the EPA made in the testing procedure in 1984 allowed sewage-treatment plant operators to kill off the nitrogen-eating bugs – the ones that digest urine. That meant that only the oxygen demand attributable to the carbon-eating bugs would be taken into account in the test. Ignoring the oxygen demand by the nitrogen-eating bugs is the crucial flaw in the test, Maier says.
The problem, Maier says, is that those nitrogen-eating bugs that die in the laboratory flask don't get killed in the actual sewage-treatment plants. And those nitrogen-eating bugs keep on eating waste and requiring oxygen that comes out of the streams where the waste is dumped – at the expense of the fish and other aquatic creatures that live there. Plus, all the nitrogen that the bacteria haven't eaten acts as a fertilizer for algae downstream from the sewage plant.
After EPA approved the testing procedure change in 1984, rates of noncompliance with the Clean Water Act by sewage-treatment plants plummeted.
But Maier, noting widespread evidence that nitrogen is over-nutrifying many water bodies, says the EPA should also be requiring all plants to do another test known as Total Kjehldahl Nitrogen, or TKN, to determine the actual oxygen demanded by the waste being dumped into waterways. Nitrogen needs to be controlled, but it largely is not, he says.
Depending on the condition of the water bodies they dump into, some sewage-treatment plants are required to control a portion of the total nitrogen, the ammonia. But Maier says all the plants should be measuring all the nitrogen all the time, and that EPA should set nitrogen-control standards that apply to all plants. The EPA has said those limits are not always needed, and so regulators should decide on a case-by-case basis whether to impose them.

Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State." - Quaid-E-Azam (The Founder of Pakistan)
The land where Pakistan is situated today had been a seat for the world's leading Civilizations from the time immemorial. The legacy of our predecessors at the time of our independence, on August 14, 1947, came to us as a treasure which may be called as Pakistan's national heritage. The Founder of Pakistan was a secular educated man, who has a team of secular, Christians, hindus, muslims, Qadyani, Sikhs, Atheists etc Who fought for the oppressed minorities in the sub-continent. Pakistan is not for a religion Its only Pakistan, which was made for the oppressed minorities in Hindustan to live freely. Pakistan means not "la ilaha ill Allah" which mostly muslims of Pakistan spread all over the world. The name Pakistan means "The Land of the Pure", not the Land of a religion or the land for religious hate.
Pakistan was not made as a Muslim country, it was made a secular country, and it stayed like that way for a while until the bitter enemies of Pakistan, i.e. the mullahs (Extremists muslims) got some say in politics. These mullahs were empowered and still being empowered by the Islamic world (50 Muslim majority Countries in World). They are trying to implement sharia law in Pakistan since 3 decades. What the world do not know about Pakistan, That Pakistan has lost 70,000 lives in terrorism. There are more than 2.8 millions of Christians, and people of 15 religions are living in Pakistan. The world start to see what Mulahs want to show them a country of extremists muslims, a country who is not modern, a country who is not open for tourists. Why this image being promoted because extremists muslims want to control Pakistan. While Pakistan is a diverse country. Pakistani people welcome other nations, unfortunately the neighbor countries all are the muslim countries who first conquered Sindh as a fort of Islam and Now these muslim countries call Pakistan a fort of islam and use Pakistan for terrorism and playing with this generation.
On 16 December 2014, six gunmen affiliated with the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) conducted a terrorist attack on the Army Public School. The militants, all of whom were foreign nationals, included one Chechen, three Arabs and two Afghans. They entered the school and opened fire on school staff and children, killing 149 people including 132 schoolchildren, ranging between eight and eighteen years of age making it the world's fourth deadliest school massacre. After 9/11 incident in USA, Al-Qaeda members in the mountainous area of Waziristan on the Afghan border tried to control over Pakistan. The town is the administrative centre of the northern half of Waziristan, a lawless region once controlled by jihadists that Barack Obama called "the most dangerous place in the world". But Pakistan's army, which fought a 22-month campaign from 2014 to evict militants from North Waziristan, is trying to transform the town from a byword for extremism into a showcase of the stability to which the generals say the country is returning. The Pakistani army lost nearly 500 men in the fighting. About 3,400 militants were killed; many more fled across the border to Afghanistan. But in this all past years, they have opened many religious schools across Pakistan and tried to destroy the youth of Pakistan. They used teenagers as sleeping cells for suicide blasts and for the terrorism in the world. It gave Pakistan a bad name, a secular country became a islamic country, and from a islamic country it being known as a terrorists country. While there are millions of secular people, who love and serve humanity.
Speech of Quaid-e-Azam (Founder of Pakistan)
http://kaleemshahzad.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Quaid-e-Azams-Pakistan.mp4
Pakistan was a democratic state, in 1977 after the government of "Zia Ul Haq" it became a Islamic country. The Supreme court of Pakistan was established in 1956, later the muslim Politicians made the Sharia court in 1980. Zia-ul-Haq brings such judicial policies "blasphemy laws" that causes for non-muslims as a sword which always hang on them. Zia- ul-Haq was a dictator, who built such forces like "Taliban" and destroyed the democratic rule. We have lost 70,000 lives because of terrorism. Arab brought their religious culture into our land, the culture of young girls (6-9 Years old) marriages, killing for religion and belief differences, slavery to women and children. We are fighting for Our country, for the freedom of a human, what Our Land belongs to. Pakistan does not belong to Islam, Pakistan's origin belongs to a very old civilized heritage of the world.
Heritage of Pakistan
The Cultural Heritage of Pakistan is spread over the centuries, starting from pre-historic times to the present day and which may be summarized in the following periods:
1)	Indus Civilization
2)	Gandhara Civilization
3)	Islamic Period
4)	Sikh Period
5)	British Period
6)	Post independence Period
Indus Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization (3300–1300 BCE) is also known as the Harrappan Civilization, after Harrappa, the first of its sites to be excavated in the 1920s, in what was then the Punjab province of British India, and now is Pakistan. Indus "is one of three in the 'Ancient East' that, along with Mesopotamia and Pharonic Egypt was a cradle of early civilization in the Old World," and of the three, the most widespread.
Inhabitants of the ancient Indus river valley developed new techniques in handicraft (carnelian products, seal carving) and metallurgy (copper, bronze, lead, and tin). The Indus cities are noted for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, and clusters of large non-residential buildings. The discovery of Harappa, and soon afterwards Mohenjo-Daro, was the culmination of work beginning in 1861 with the founding of the Archaeological Survey of India in the British Raj.
Taxila
Taxila is 40 kms away from Islamabad the capital city of Pakistan, was once the seat of Oriental civilization. In 6th century B.C, It was first talked about as a satrapy of the Archemenian Empire. It was attacked by a communist Alexander the Great (Sikandar-e-Azam) & passed along to other monarch until finally he reached the hands of a Hindu Samrat "Ashoka", who gave the shape of the city into a learning and cultural centre.
Islamic Period
Arabs, as traders entered the sub-continent within a two years after their conversion to Islam. The Muslim traders played a very significant role in preaching Islam in the subcontinent, as Hitti remarks that it has passed through three distinct stages "originally a religion, Islam later became a state and finally a culture".
The Arab Muslims conquered Sindh in the seventh century A.D. Mohammad bin Qasim, the conqueror of Sindh made Sindh Dar-ul-islam and based his policy on the Sharia; the laws of Islam. The majority of converts who entered the fold of Islam belonged to a lower caste of Hindus. Hindus did not know about Christianity and when they saw that Islam allow marriages which Hinduism had denied, then they started to convert to Islam. Arab Islamic activities also played a significant role in the large scale conversion of Hindus.
According to Historians Elliot and Dowson in their book 'the history of Indians as told by their historians', the first ship bearing Muslim travelers was seen on the Indian coast as early as 630 AD. H.G. Rawlinson, in his book: Ancient and Medieval History of India y J. Sturrock claims that the first Arab Muslims settled on the Indian coast in the last part of the 7th century AD. The Arab merchants and traders became the carriers of the new religion and they propagated it wherever they went.
Bab-ul-Islam & Sub-Continent
The invasion of Muhammad bin Qasim ushered the way for the spread of Islam in sub-continent in Sindh (Pakistan) and Kabul (Afghanistan). To say that the invasions were reasons of the spreading of Islam is absolutely wrong because if it so then why Halaku khan could not succeed in spreading Buddhism anywhere in the World? Islam has 73 sects, most of the Islamic sects allow males to have 4 marriages, the tradition of "Mut'a" (Temporary marriages), some sects of Islam allow females to have 8 temporary marriages, and some sects allow marriages between a brother and a sister. Islam also spread because of sufisim, in the Subcontinent the Sufis made untiring selfless and incessant struggle for the spread, growth and evolution of Islam. The spread of Islam stems from the invasion of Muhammad Bin Qasim in the Subcontinent, but roots of Sufism took shape and became an institution in the 12th and 13th century. The two great pioneers were Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani and Hazrat Shahabuddin Suharawardy. Four branches of Sufism, namely Qadriya, Chishtiya, Suharawardya and Naqshahbandya were introduced in the Subcontinent and can be traced to the time when the first Sufi, Muhammad Alfi, came to the Subcontinent. It was their affection, sympathy, fraternity and unlimited philanthropist actions that won the hearts of people.
Ẓahīr-ud-Dīn Muhammad Babur was a conqueror born in Andijan "Timurid Empire (present-day Uzbekistan)", who was following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor. Babur was the eldest son of Umar Sheikh Mirza and had 9 wives and hundreds of slave women. He ascended the throne of Fergana in 1495 at the age of twelve and faced rebellion from his own relatives. He conquered Samarkand two years later, only to lose the city of Fergana soon after. In his attempt to reconquer Fergana, he lost control of Samarkand. In 1501, his attempt to recapture both cities went in vain as he was defeated by Muhammad Shaybani Khan. In 1504, he conquered Kabul, which was under the rule of the infant heir of Ulugh Begh. Babur formed a partnership with Safavid ruler Ismail I and reconquered parts of central Asia, including Samarkand, only to again lose it and the other newly conquered lands to the Uzbeks.
After losing Samarkand for the third time, Babur turned his attention to creating his empire in north India. At that time northern Indian Subcontinent was ruled by Ibrahim Lodi of the Afghan. In 1524, Daulat Khan Lodi, a rebel of the Lodhi dynasty, invited Babur to overthrow Ibrahim and become ruler. Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526 and founded the Mughal empire. The instability of the empire became evident under his son, Humayun, who was driven out of India and into Persia by rebels. The restoration of Mughal rule began after Humayun's triumphant return from Persia in 1555, but he died from a fatal accident shortly afterwards.
Humayun's son, Akbar, succeeded to the throne under a regent, Bairam Khan, who helped consolidate the Mughal Empire in India. To unify the vast Mughal state, Akbar established a centralised system of administration throughout his empire and adopted a policy of conciliating conquered rulers through marriage and diplomacy. To preserve peace and order in a religiously and culturally diverse empire, he adopted policies that won him the support of his non-Muslim subjects. He was fond of literature, and created a library of over 24,000 volumes written in Sanskrit, Hindustani, Persian, Greek, Latin, Arabic and Kashmiri, staffed by many scholars, translators, artists, calligraphers, scribes, bookbinders and readers. Holy men of many faiths, poets, architects and artisans adorned his court from all over the world for study and discussion. Disillusioned with orthodox Islam and perhaps hoping to bring about religious unity within his empire, Akbar promulgated Din-i-Ilahi, a syncretic creed derived from Islam, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity. A simple, monotheistic cult, tolerant in outlook, it centred on Akbar as a prophet, for which he drew the ire of the ulema and orthodox Muslims. Many of his courtiers followed Din-i-Ilahi as their religion as well, as many muslims believed that Akbar was a prophet. One famous courtier who followed this blended religion was Birbal. Thus, the foundations for a multicultural empire under Mughal rule was laid during his reign. Akbar was succeeded as emperor by his son, Jahangir, but he was addicted to opium, neglected the affairs of the state. During the reign of Jahangir's son, Shah Jahan, the culture and splendour of the luxurious Mughal court reached its zenith as exemplified by the Taj Mahal.
Taj Mahal – Mughal muslim emperor, Shah Jahan
The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Shah Jahan in 1631, to be built in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, a Persian princess who died giving birth to their 14th child, Gauhara Begum. The tomb is the centrepiece of a 42-acre complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set with in the formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
The Taj Mahal complex is believed to have been completed in its entirety in 1653 at a cost estimated at the time to be around 32 million rupees, which in 2015 would be approximately 52.8 billion rupees (US$827 million). The construction project employed some 20,000 artisans under the guidance of a board of architects led by the court architect to the emperor, Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage". Shah Jahan ordered the right hand of the chief mason to be cut off so that the masterpiece could never be recreated.
British Raj Period
The British Raj period is the period of economic developments. During this period a tiny number of British officials and troops (about 20,000 in all) ruled over 300 million Indians. This was often seen as evidence that most Indians accepted and even approved of British rule. There is no doubt that Britain could not have controlled India without the co-operation of Indian princes and local leaders, as well as huge numbers of Indian troops, police officers, civil servants etc. The British Raj also introduced the legal and administrative system, the fact that Indo-Pak (Subcontinent) became the center of world politics.
On December 31, 1600 Queen Elizabeth I of England granted a royal charter to the British East India Company to carry out trade with the East. Ships first arrived in India in 1608, docking at Surat in modern-day Gujarat. In 1615, King James I sent Sir Thomas Roe as his ambassador to Jahangir's court, and a commercial treaty was concluded in which the Mughals allowed the Company to build trading posts in India in return for goods from Europe. The Company traded in such commodities as cotton, silk, saltpetre, indigo, and tea. By the mid-1600s, the Company had established trading posts or "factories" in major Indian cities, such as Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras in addition to their first factory at Surat (built in 1612).
First War of Indian Independence
The spark that lit the fire was the result of a British blunder in using new cartridges for the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle that were greased with animal fat, rumored to now be a combination of pig-fat and cow-fat. This was offensive to the religious beliefs of both Muslim and Hindu sepoys, who refused to use the cartridges under provocation, finally mutinied against their British officers.
On May 10, 1857 soldiers of the British Indian Army (known as "sepoys," from Urdu/Persian sipaahi = "soldier"), drawn from the Indian Hindu and Muslim population, rose against British in Meerut, a cantonment 65 kilometres northeast of Delhi. At the time, the strength of the Company's Army in India was 238,000, of whom 38,000 were Europeans. Indian soldiers marched to Delhi to offer their services to the Mughal emperor, and soon much of north and central India was plunged into a year-long insurrection against the British East India Company. Many Indian regiments and Indian kingdoms joined the uprising, while other Indian units and Indian kingdoms backed the British commanders and the HEIC.
Aftermath of the 1857 Rebellion
The rebellion was a major turning point in the history of modern India. In May 1858, the British exiled Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II (r. 1837–1857) to Rangoon, Burma (now Yangon, Myanmar), after executing most of his family, thus formally liquidating the Mughal Empire. The Emperor's three sons, also involved in the 1857 Rebellion, were arrested and shot in Delhi by Major William Stephen Raikes Hodson of the British Indian Army.
The Viceroy announced in 1858 that the government would honor former treaties with princely states and renounced the "Doctrine of Lapse," whereby the East India Company had annexed territories of rulers who died without male heirs. About 40% of Indian territory and 20%–25% of the population remained under the control of 562 princes notable for their religious (Islamic, Hindu, Sikh and other) and ethnic diversity.
Development in British Raj
The entrepreneur Jamsetji Tata (1839–1904) began his industrial career in 1877 with the Central India Spinning, Weaving, and Manufacturing Company in Bombay.
British India built a modern railway system in the late nineteenth century which was the fourth largest in the world. The railways at first were privately owned and operated. It was run by British administrators, engineers and craftsmen.
The British Raj invested heavily in infrastructure, including canals and irrigation systems in addition to railways, telegraphy, roads and ports.
In the second half of the 19th century, both the direct administration of India by the British Crown and the technological change ushered in by the industrial revolution had the effect of closely intertwining the economies of India and Great Britain. Railways, roads, canals, and bridges were rapidly built in India and telegraph links equally rapidly established in order that raw materials, such as cotton, from India's hinterland could be transported more efficiently to ports, such as Bombay, for subsequent export to England.
Electricity Sector
The first demonstration of electric light in Calcutta was conducted on July 24, 1879 by P W Fleury & Co. On 7 January 1897, Kilburn & Co secured the Calcutta electric lighting licence as agents of the Indian Electric Co, which was registered in London on January 15, 1897. A month later, the company was renamed the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation. The control of the company was transferred from London to Calcutta only in 1970. Mumbai saw electric lighting demonstration for the first time in 1882 at Crawford Market and Bombay Electric Supply & Tramways Company (BEST) set up a generating station in 1905 to provide electricity for the tramway. The first electric street light in Asia was lit on August 5, 1905 in Bangalore. The first electric train ran between Bombay's Victoria Terminus and Kurla along the Harbour Line, in 1925.
King Edward Medical University
King Edward Medical College is the oldest educational institute and medical school in Pakistan. Mayo Hospital is the attached hospital, which was built in 1872 and was named after Lord Mayo. King Edward Medical University is supervising Seven Tertiary care hospitals in Lahore as its teaching Hospitals. It is the most preferred medical college in the public sector.
The first academic building was completed in 1883. On December 21, 1911, Lahore Medical College was renamed King Edward Medical College in Honor of the late King and Emperor and was elevated to the status of an independent, degree-granting university on May 12, 2005, when it became King Edward Medical University.
Beginnings of self-government
The first steps were taken toward self-government in British India in the late 19th century with the appointment of Indian counsellors to advise the British viceroy and the establishment of provincial councils with Indian members; the British subsequently widened participation in legislative councils with the Indian Councils Act of 1892. Municipal Corporations and District Boards were created for local administration; they included elected Indian members.
The Hindu and muslims hate each other, in Islamic and Sikh period, muslims killed hindus and hindus killed muslims. There was no unity between the Hindu and Muslim community of sub-continent. Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan), who was born in 1876, studied law in England and began his career as an enthusiastic liberal in Congress upon returning to India. In 1913 he joined the Muslim League, which had been shocked by the 1911 annulment of the partition of Bengal into cooperating with Congress to make demands on the British. Jinnah continued his membership in Congress until 1919. During this dual membership period, he was described by a leading Congress spokesperson, Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, as the "ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity."
Before Leaving the sub-continent, British Empire divided the sub-continent to make a peaceful land. First the muslim religious leadership was against the Jinnah, who wanted to make a separate state for the minorities of sub-continent. Many Christian, Hindu, Qadyani and muslim leaders joined Quaid-e-Azam in this mission.
After the Creation of Pakistan in August 14, 1947, Pakistan was a secular state. But As time passed muslim sects started to spread islam, and gave fatwas against each other, Zia-ul-Haq (dictator) also promoted bralvie belief of Islam. Thought as the muslim religious leadership became part of the government in 1977, Pakistan became a Islamic democratic country.
Arabic Culture and Killing
Today, Pakistan is suffering from Terrorism, Corruption, bribery, the evil of nepotism and jobbery. We have lost more than 70,000 lives in suicide blast by muslim terrorists. Muslims Kill each other and other humans, because according to Islam, there are 73 sects of muslims and only one sect will enter into Islamic paradise.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 171 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr
That Allah's Messenger (saws) said:
"There will befall my Ummah exactly all those evils which befell the people of Israel (Jews and Christians), so much so that if there was one amongst them who openly committed fornication with his mother, there will be amongst my Ummah one, who will do the same. And if the people of Israel were fragmented into seventy-two sects, my Ummah will be fragmented into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hell Fire except one sect. The noble Companions asked: O Allah's Messenger (saws), which one is that? Whereupon he (saws) said: It is one to which I and my companions belong."
Quran 5:33
"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment."
Killing in Quran
Quran 9:5 "And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
Slave Women in Islam
Quran 33:52 "Not lawful to you, [O Muhammad], are women after [this], nor [is it] for you to exchange them for wives, even if their beauty were to please you, except what your right hand possesses [Salve women]. And ever is Allah , over all things, an Observer."
Marriage with Young Girls
Sahih Bukhari 9.140 Narrated 'Aisha:Allah's Apostle (Prophet of Islam) said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.
Pakistan also suffering through slavery, religious sects promotes slavery of women. People have no freedom of speech, no human rights, a girl 6-9 years old is sold for a marriage to a 50 years old man. A girl has no right for her marriage, education and life. Even The Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has proposed its own women protection bill, recommending 'a light beating' for the wife if she defies the husband. Atheists, Christian, Shia, Hindu, Qadyani and other minorities are being killed publicly by using the tool of blasphemy against Islam. Christians homes are burnt, Christians are burnt alive. Terrorists enter in schools and threaten universities, school, colleges, they even attacked on Army Public school, and killed the young children in the cruelty for a religion.
This is all happening because of Arabic religious culture, which was brought to this land. Islam belongs to Arab, Palestine and Egypt. Egypt has the most old heritage and religion, Egyptian believed in god and goddess, the same Palestine and arab did which later was converted into islam with a new religion.
114 Ancient gods of Egypt: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/gods/explore/main.html
Amun	King of the Gods : When Amun was combined with the sun god Ra he was even more powerful. He was then called Amun-Ra.
ISIS Isis was a protective goddess. She used powerful magic spells to help people in need.
Geb	Earth God : The ancient Egyptians believed that earthquakes were Geb's laughter.
Hathor	Goddess of love and joy and also of music and dance .
Egypt King Pharaoh was not only the King of Egypt, but he was the god of Egypt, the main political and religious leader. The same is happening in Pakistan, Muslim religious leaders have mixed politics and religion which is not the cause of injustice, persecution, but also the cause of killing and terrorism. ISIS was also the goddess of Egypt, the same Evil is working in muslim terrorists, who want to conquer the world.
Do you really think that 180 millions of Pakistanis are terrorists? Then who are these people Malala Yousafzai, Nergis Mavalvala, Hon. Alvin Robert Cornelius, Władysław Turowicz, Abdul Sattar Edhi, Abdus Salam, Arfa Karim
Pakistani Peacemakers are fighting against terrorism from a long time, to call Pakistan a terrorist country It is injustice. Pakistan is in the control of extremists and peacemakers are being persecuted for raising their voices. There is an alarming need to spread the awareness of the old civilization of this region, which never belonged to a religion of killing.

Writers are often expected to have tortured, unhappy backgrounds but I grew up very happily in the Chilterns.
I wrote my first book at the age of four, the exciting tale of a teddy bear called, inexpicably, Glug. When I was twelve, my father brought a typewriter home from his office and I began my first novel. I was, however, hampered by the fact that he insisted I learn to touch-type, covering all the keys with elastoplast and buying me a copy of Teach Yourself Touch Typing. A year later he removed the plasters and I was a touch typist. Apart, perhaps, from learning to drive, I firmly believe this is probably the most useful skill I have ever learned.
A succession of jobs followed a grammar school education. I temped in London in the seventies, sold up-market furniture around the country in the eighties and then drifted into insurance and information technology.
Along the way, I had a daughter and various dogs came and went and then my husband and I decided it was time for a complete change. In 1998, we threw in our jobs and bought a run-down guest house in Swanage, Dorset. Part of the plan was to give me more time to write but the building needed complete renovation and spare time was non-existent. Seven years on, the hotel was complete, but also increasingly successful and therefore time-consuming. Time to write is still at a premium but it has to be found - it's what I do.
We also have a little village house in a gorgeous white-washed village in the south-eastern corner of Spain and try to spend some of the winter there.
My grown-up daughter now lives in London, however Lulu, the last of a dynasty of Irish Terriers I have bred and shown, shares our lives and she makes quite sure that I walk every day, whether in the stunning Dorset countryside or the beautiful Spanish mountains.
