Description: A look at some of the beliefs of Islam.
There are many aspects of belief in which one who adheres to Islam must have firm conviction. From those aspects, the most important are six, known as the "Six Articles of Belief".
Islam upholds strict monotheism and belief in God forms the heart of their faith. Islam teaches belief in one God who neither gives birth nor was born Himself, and has no share in His caretaking of the world. He alone gives life, causes death, brings good, causes affliction, and provides sustenance for His creation. God in Islam is the sole Creator, Lord, Sustainer, Ruler, Judge, and Savior of the universe. He has no equal in His qualities and abilities, such as knowledge and power. All worship, veneration and homage is to be directed to God and none else. Any breach of these concepts negates the basis of Islam.
Adherents to Islam must believe in the Unseen world as mentioned in the Quran. From this world are the angels' emissaries of God, each assigned with a specific task. They have no free-will or ability to disobey; it is their very nature to be God's faithful servants. Angels are not to be taken as demigods or objects of praise or veneration; they are mere servants of God obeying His every command.
Islam is a universal and inclusive religion. Muslims believe in the prophets, not just the Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, but the Hebrew prophets, including Abraham and Moses, as well as the prophets of the New Testament, Jesus, and John the Baptist. Islam teaches God did not send prophets to Jews and Christians alone, rather He sent prophets to all nations in the world with one central message: worship God alone. Muslims must believe in all prophets sent by God mentioned in the Quran, without making any distinction between them. Muhammad was sent with the final message, and there is no prophet to come after him. His message is final and eternal, and through him God completed His Message to humanity.
Muslims believe in all books that God has sent down to humanity through His prophets. These books include the Books of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Psalms of David, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These books all had the same source (God), the same message, and all were revealed in truth. This does not mean that they have been preserved in truth. Muslims (and many other Jewish and Christian scholars and historians) find that the books in existence today are not the original scriptures, which in fact have been lost, changed, and/or translated over and over again, losing the original message.
As Christians view the New Testament to fulfill and complete the Old Testament, Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad received revelations from God through the angel Gabriel to correct human error that had entered into the scriptures and doctrine of Judaism, Christianity and all other religions. This revelation is the Quran, revealed in the Arabic language, and found today in its pristine form. It seeks to guide mankind in all walks of life; spiritual, temporal, individual and collective. It contains directions for the conduct of life, relates stories and parables, describes the attributes of God, and speaks of the best rules to govern social life. It has directions for everybody, every place, and for all time. Millions of people today have memorized the Quran, and all copies of the Quran found today and in the past are identical. God has promised that He will guard the Quran from change until the end of times, so that Guidance be clear to humanity and the message of all the prophets be available for those who seek it.
Muslims believe that a day will come when all of creation will perish and resurrected in order to be judged for their deeds: The Day of Judgment. On this day, all will gather in the presence of God and each individual will be questioned about their life in the world and how they lived it. Those who held correct beliefs about God and life, and followed their belief with righteous deeds will enter Paradise, even though they may pay for some of their sins in Hell if God out of His Infinite Justice chooses not to forgive them. As for those who fell into polytheism in its many faces, they will enter Hellfire, never to leave therefrom.
Islam asserts that God has full power and knowledge of all things, and that nothing happens except by His Will and with His full knowledge. What is known as divine decree, fate, or "destiny" is known in Arabic as al-Qadr. The destiny of every creature is already known to God.
This belief however does not contradict with the idea of man's free will to choose his course of action. God does not force us to do anything; we can choose whether to obey or disobey Him. Our choice is known to God before we even do it. We do not know what our destiny is; but God knows the fate of all things.
Therefore, we should have firm faith that whatever befalls us, it is according to God's will and with His full knowledge. There may be things that happen in this world that we do not understand, but we should trust that God has wisdom in all things.

Gary R. Cutting
EAST RICHFORD: Gary R. Cutting, age 68, passed away on Saturday, November 13, 2021 at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.
He was born in St. Albans on March 24, 1953, to the late Harold and Barbara (Knisley) Cutting.
Gary grew up on his family's farm in East Bakersfield and Enosburgh. He attended Bakersfield Elementary School and graduated from Enosburg Falls High School in 1972. After graduation he served in the Navy for four years as a hydraulics mechanic on the JFK Aircraft Carrier during the Vietnam War. Upon his return home, he began trucking gravel, then went on to work for Kane's Dairy Farm in Sheldon. Eventually, he took a position at Blue Seal Feeds where he retired after 30 years. On May 11, 1991 he married the love of his life, Susan Mercy and the two raised their family in East Richford.
Gary was an avid outdoorsman, allowing him to be a successful hunter and fisherman, a passion that started at a very young age. The first day of hunting season was like Christmas for him and his brothers. He enjoyed and was quite proud of dressing and preparing the game he caught for his family and friends. Aside from hunting and fishing, he had a love for being in the woods, especially during sugaring season. Gary created his small family operation at home in 1997, where supper was served almost every night during the season for many years. Most recently, he enjoyed helping his close friend Doug Paul tap and maintain his sugar woods for Boyce Family Sugary. He was so proud of his garden from start to finish. At the end of the season when it came time to canning and freezing, Gary and Susan were a great team in getting the big job done. Gary loved watching football and cheered on his Green Bay Packers every chance he got. He was such a handyman and thoroughly enjoyed wood-working.
Gary's most recent pride and joy were his grandchildren and took to his new role as "Papa" flawlessly. Gary will be remembered by family and friends as a man of few words, but when he spoke, the words were important and well considered.
He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Susan Cutting of East Richford; children, Jenna Chagnon and her husband Aaron of St. Albans, and Logan Cutting and his wife Emily of Berkshire; cherished grandchildren, Callie Cutting (Callie girl), Rayelle Chagnon (Ray Ray), and Eli Cutting (Eli Ross); siblings, John Cutting and his wife Francoise of Swanton, Peggy-Ann Record and her husband Jim of Berkshire, Steven Cutting and his wife Paula of Franklin, and Michael Cutting and his wife Pamela of Franklin; mother-in-law, Charlotte Mercy of Franklin; siblings-in-law, Gary Clough of Enosburgh, Linda Lowell and her husband Ron of Montgomery, Arnold Mercy and his wife Linda of Montgomery, Carroll Mercy and his wife Karrie of Georgia, Judy Willey and her husband Brent of Troy, Lorna Taft and her husband Tom of Swanton, Marie Guay and her husband Danny of Newport, Michael Mercy and his wife Denise of Montgomery, David Mercy of Montgomery, Darlene Morse and her husband Harold of Eden, and Pamela Wilson and her husband Warren of Richford; many cousins, nieces and nephews; and his four-legged best friend, Copper.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Jean Clough and his father-in-law, Gordon Mercy and brother-in-law Brad King.
In keeping with Gary's wishes there will be no public services at this time.

The home secretary's disingenuous response to the torture ruling
by Brian · 14 December, 2005
In the Guardian on 13 December 2005 the home secretary published a remarkable article purporting to welcome the law lords' judgment on 8 December which ruled that evidence probably obtained by torture, wherever and by whomever done, was inadmissible in the Special Immigration Appeals Commission or any other British court, a ruling which in fact the government had resisted through the courts until its defeat last week. Charles Clarke's article was also remarkable, and disingenuous, in at least two other respects. I pointed all this out in a letter published in the Guardian on 14 December to which I await the official response, if any, with interest. On this occasion my letter as submitted to the Guardian survived the sub-editor's scissors almost intact, but for the record here is the original text:
The home secretary's 'Response' article today ('I welcome the ban on evidence gained through torture', 13 December) displays a degree of chutzpah remarkable even for New Labour. If Charles Clarke and the government 'welcome' the law lords' decision to ban evidence obtained by torture, as he now assures us, why did the same government fight shamelessly to avoid such a ban all the way from SIAC (the Special Immigration Appeals Commission) up to the House of Lords, at public expense, instead of accepting it in the first place? It's equally disingenuous of Mr Clarke to welcome the test which the law lords said should be applied to establish whether specific evidence has been obtained by torture without also admitting that this test was only supported by a 4 to 3 majority of the law lords, and that the senior law lord, Lord Bingham, himself called it 'a test which, in the real world, can never be satisfied. … The result will be that, despite the universal abhorrence expressed for torture and its fruits, evidence procured by torture will be laid before SIAC because its source will not have been "established"… I regret that the House [of Lords] should lend its authority to a test which will undermine the practical efficacy of the Torture Convention and deny detainees the standard of fairness to which they are entitled under article 5(4) or 6(1) of the European Convention.'
No wonder the home secretary welcomes it so effusively! The government has lost its argument for being allowed to use torture-tainted evidence in court, but ends up with a ban involving a test which the senior law lord himself says will be unenforceable and ineffective. Moreover Mr Clarke's gloating claim that the home secretary will still be able to rely on torture-tainted evidence in making his 'executive decisions' (e.g. to detain, deport and slap control orders on people without having to charge them with any offence) is highly questionable, since it would mean relying on evidence which would be inadmissible in any court hearing an appeal against the decision, as the law lords pointed out. Mr Clarke's article seems deliberately intended to mislead by being cynically selective.
Brian Barder (member of SIAC, 1998-2004)
London SW18
Two further points:
First, Lord Bingham, the senior law lord who presided over the hearings on torture, commenting on last year's decision by the Court of Appeal to allow British courts to use such evidence as long as UK authorities were not directly involved, said: "I am startled, even a little dismayed, at the suggestion and the acceptance by the court of appeal majority that this deeply rooted tradition and an international obligation solemnly and explicitly undertaken can be overridden by a statute and a procedural rule which make no mention of torture at all." I can't help feeling that this implied condemnation, harsh by the standards of formal judicial statements, by Britain's most senior judge of a majority decision of the Court of Appeal more than vindicates the views I expressed in an article in the Guardian about the Court of Appeal decision back in October 2004.
Secondly, it seems extraordinary that my letter in today's Guardian, whose full original text I quote above, appears to be the first time that an account has appeared in print of Lord Bingham's severe and pessimistic strictures on the test imposed by the four junior law lords, outvoting their three senior colleagues, to be applied in determining whether specific information has probably been got by torture and if so whether it should be admissible in a UK court. Lord Bingham asserts that this test will be impossible to satisfy and therefore likely to negate the effects of the law lords' unanimous agreement that torture-tainted evidence should not be admissible, and that such evidence will accordingly continue to be 'laid before SIAC', thus denying detainees 'the standard of fairness to which they are entitled' under the European Human Rights Convention: yet this gloomy verdict seems to have passed unnoticed by the numerous reports of the judgment and comments on it. This chilling warning by the presiding judge shows that the euphoria that greeted the judgment was, alas, at best premature and at worst unwarranted. The government lost the battle for its grubby right to rely, in its decision-making and in court, on evidence obtained by foreigners' torture: but it has won the war, for the ban can probably never be enforced. How can the media and the commentariat have missed such a central and negative element in the judgment?
A fuller account of the disagreement between the majority of four law lords and the minority of three (including Lord Bingham) over the test of admissibility of torture-tainted evidence is in an earlier entry in this blog, written on the day when the judgment was published. I made the same points on the same day in two BBC radio interviews (on Radio Five Live and the Radio 4 programme The World at One — I'll put recordings of both in .mp3 format on my website shortly) but no-one seems to have picked them up, so far as I can tell from my admittedly incomplete reading of the principal print media. Will my Guardian letter today prompt a sorely needed debate on how to rescue an otherwise historic judgment by the law lords from the ineffectual obscurity to which this gaping loophole seems to have condemned it? No, I agree, probably not.

Through his torrid shooting, former PBL MVP Reed Juntilla towed Zamboanga to an 86-80 win in their debut in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL) – Anta Datu Cup.
Juntilla's 30 points on six treys and 60% shooting from the field were more than enough to keep the Laguna Heroes at bay. Jonathan Parreno notched 18 points, while JV Orera provided quality production by scoring 13 points in 20 minutes of playing time.
The Heroes started the game strong by building an 11-point lead in the early parts of the second canto, but the Valientes were able to take the lead to end the first half up four, 44-40.
Zamboanga never surrendered the lead ever since with Juntilla and Parreno carrying much of the load, especially late in the clutch.
Denok Miranda, Jai Reyes, and Ralf Ilagan tallied double-digit scoring performances for the Heroes with 26, 14, and 12 respectively.
-It's fair to say that the Valientes dominated the shaded area as they scored 38 points in the paint compared to the 24 points by the Heroes.
-Zamboanga was able to make the most of their bench as they produced 29 points compared to 17 by Laguna.
-However, Laguna was able to make the most out of their ball movement by dishing out 20 assists compared to only 10 assists by Zamboanga.
-Notable veterans like Reed Juntilla and Denok Miranda show that they still got it by leading their respective teams in scoring.
ZAMBOANGA (86) – Juntilla 30, Parreno 18, Orera, 13, Berame 6, Lanete 6, Sanz 6, Onde 3, Milaflores 2, Rublico 2, Javier 0, Guiyab 0, Lacastesantos 0.
LAGUNA (80) – Miranda 26, Reyes 14, Ilagan 12, Adolfo 8, Galabin 6, Santos 5, Olivarez 4, Mabulac 3, Antonares 2, Leynes 0, Buenafe 0, Castanares 0, Casajeros 0, Anonuevo 0.

TOPIC: Fundamental Physics and the Useful Arts by Richard Easther [refresh]
Author Richard Easther wrote on Sep. 4, 2012 @ 11:37 GMT
Up until the middle of the 20th Century, advances in fundamental physics often led directly to technological innovations. However, since the construction of the Standard Model in the 1960s, it appears we have an essentially complete description of the fundamental constituents of the universe on ``human'' scales -- that is, larger than nucleons and smaller than galaxies. Discoveries of new fundamental interactions and particles beyond the Standard Model will illuminate the fundamental properties of the physical word, but cannot be expected to drive technological progress. Consequently, the long-standing assumption that advances in physics have practical implications may finally have reached its limit.

Dear Richard,
I enjoyed reading your essay, which was somewhat unusual in that the assumption it questions is not something about our fundamental theories per se but rather the societal implications of our current knowledge state.
I would like to suggest on a more optimistic note than in your essay that perhaps the financial constraints associated with building particle accelerators may itself provide an impetus for developing new technologies that help probe nature more deeply more efficiently. I am not convinced, for example, that there is no way to deliver a comparatively large amount of energy to an individual elementary particle without building enormous (and enormously expensive) facilities, but unfortunately I cannot offer an alternative. Someone who exhibits the right kind of ingenuity to overcome our current constraints would likely be richly rewarded, and, if such an event does really happen, then it would not be unreasonable that there may be more immediately recognizably useful off-shoots.
The anecdote about Bethe is inspiring, I hope when I'm 90 years old (If I even live that long) I'll keep just a fraction of that kind of activity.

As a cosmologist and theoretical physicist, I hope you can evaluate the idea of nuons as the base of dark matter. These particles are supposed in the Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter (my essay). More about it is in the article: Fedosin S.G. Cosmic Red Shift, Microwave Background, and New Particles. Galilean Electrodynamics, Spring 2012, Vol. 23, Special Issues No. 1, P. 3 - 13.
Sergey Fedosin Essay
You make some excellent points here, although I hope the possible implications can be concealed from those in charge of the purse strings of scientific funding! The "superluminal neutrinos" graph is particularly amusing; I remember reading some of those articles for entertainment and feeling that many of them reflected a profound lack of self-respect; the ideas were obviously half-baked and were predicated on the cynical realization that no one would remember exactly who had filled out a lottery ticket with their favorite superluminal theory.
On a more serious note, I hope (very, very optimistically) that quantum circuits may be capable of modeling some aspects of "fundamental physics" at reasonable scales. There are a number of ideas about quantum gravity and the fundamental structure of spacetime that bear deep similarities to conventional quantum information theory. In the meantime, perhaps we should be thankful that nothing like the atomic bomb has come out of the last 50 years of particle physics. Take care,
Ben Dribus

Hello Richard,
I expect to read your essay soon, but I wanted you to know that I find your premise kind of scary. To some extent; I hope you are wrong. I hope that Physics is in a place like the turn of the 20th century. Though some felt that Science had already reached its pinnacle in Classical Physics, it turned out that a revolution in Modern Physics was well underway.
More poignantly; I echo Ben's comment above, in hoping that the people who control the funding for my next project have not read your essay. I just left a comment on Ian Durham's essay forum, that reductionist thinking on the part of Finance people hurts Science funding, but if it were true that even great strides in Physics will yield no important technologies, this could be the death knell for many worthwhile research programs.
More comments when I've read past the abstract.
Dear Richard Easther
You have think that: the Mass is the expression of the impact force to material (definition from the ABSOLUTE theory of me) - so no impact force, we do not feel the Higg boson - similar to the case of no weight outside the Earth's atmosphere.
Helmut Hansen wrote on Oct. 4, 2012 @ 07:28 GMT
I have read your well-written paper. I think your critical analysis is quite serious. At the end of your paper you are nonetheless expressing the hope to be shown overly pessismistic.
As you know there are 20 fundamental constants those origin is still unknown. I think a deeper understanding of these 20 fundamental constants will advance our understanding of reality tremendously.
I have found or discovered that at least one of these 20 fundamental constants is perceived insufficiently. That is the speed of light c.
My discovery is quite simple: If the Light is of Dual Nature, it seems quite natural, to assume, that the speed of light c is of Dual Nature as well. In other words: The fundamental constant of c is given twice - in two different modes - and not once as it is still implicitly assumed.
See my paper: Is the Speed of Light of Dual Nature?
If such a second still hidden face of c is really existing, it will change our fundamental understanding of the universe significantly because the discovery of every new fundamental constant does naturally imply such a paradigm shift .
Good Luck for Your Paper and Your Work.

Liepājas Arodnieks ('Liepāja Trade Unionist') was a weekly newspaper published from Liepāja, Latvia in 1919. It was founded as a replacement for Darba, a publication that had been banned. Politically the newspaper opposed the Kārlis Ulmanis government. E. Tomsona served as editor of the newspaper. However, albeit different editors were named in the newspaper the editorial control over the newspaper was managed by the Liepāja City Committee of the Communist Party of Latvia; Jānis Jurjāns, Anna Pērle and Janis Vītols ('Pakalnītis'). The first issue of the newspaper was published on January 28, 1919.

The publication of Liepājas Arodnieks was irregular. The government closed it down after its third issue (published on February 4, 1919). A fourth issue was published on March 17, 1919. Publication was again resumed on June 15, 1919. It did not appear during the Liepāja typesetters' strike of July 15–24, 1919. It was again shut down by the government on September 24, 1919.

TOKYO (REUTERS) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday (July 22) called for debate on revising the post-war, pacifist constitution, saying the result of an upper house election the previous day showed it was what voters sought.
Mr Abe's Liberal Democratic Party-led coalition won a solid majority, but together with like-minded allies, fell short of the two-thirds "super majority" needed to begin the controversial process of amending the constitution, never changed since it was adopted after Japan's World War Two defeat.
Mr Abe has long sought to revise the constitution's pacifist Article 9 to further legitimise the military, but public opinion is divided.
On the economy, Mr Abe said he would take all possible steps flexibly and without hesitation when downside risks to the economy emerge, pledging to continue to make economy his top priority.
He also said he would take measures fully to support private consumption when the national sales tax rises to 10 per cent from the current 8 per cent in October.

The Rock reaches a new milestone and used the moment to share a motivational video.
He's one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world who manages to release blockbuster hits one after the other, and now there is yet another accomplishment that Dwayne Johnson can celebrate. The beloved wrestler-turned-actor has managed, for the most part, to keep himself out of controversial headlines as his wholesome persona has won over the hearts of fans worldwide. On Thursday (October 8), it was announced that The Rock has reached a new goal, surpassing 200 million followers on Instagram, making the actor the most followed man in America.
Dwayne Johnson acknowledged his feat on Instagram, unsurprisingly, by uploading an inspiring video for his followers.

"And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I've surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms," Johnson wrote in the caption to his video. "Officially becoming/ The #1 followed man in America. The #1 followed American man in the world. And most importantly, the #1 daddy at home. Love you guys, I always got your back and let's keep rockin'."
Listen to The Rock drop some knowledge below.
Here's what I've learned these past few weeks and maybe, you can find value in this take away and apply it to your own life. Always speak your truth. And when you do speak your truth - do your best to speak with dignity, compassion, respect, poise and empathy. Even when the conversations get uncomfortable - when you approach with respect and care - on the other side of discomfort - is clarity and progress. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for giving me the space to speak my truth. You have my word, I'll always do my best to speak my truth with dignity, respect, empathy and GRATITUDE. That's my lesson I've learned. And the result of speaking my truth is I was just informed, I've surged past and blown by 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS on Instagram and over 300 MILLION FOLLOWERS across all platforms - officially becoming/ The #1 followed man in America.

Newly married and clean out of college, kaji (tatsuya nakadai) quickly discovers it's a lonely global for a righteous utopian. On his journey thru the cold, authoritarian quarters of asia in wwii, kaji unsuccessfully attempts to convey his socialist beliefs to his role as supervisor of chinese prisoners at a manchurian compelled labor camp; suffers thru all manner of indignities and physical trauma while he's conscripted into the japanese navy; and ultimately reveals himself wandering thru a war-ravaged china into a soviet pow camp, his frame frail and his soul corrupted. It's all found out in ravishing monochrome, however kobayashi's film can't assist but be a difficult watch, as is to be predicted from a filmmaker committed to masking the proverbial existence, demise and the whole lot in among over the course of 579 minutes. Famend british movie critic david shipman known as the human circumstance "unquestionably the finest film ever made," which is a matter for debate, but all of us inclined to make investments the time and energy will indeed discover an exceptional enjoy.

In order to see the high peaks, mountain rivers and lifestyle of Georgia's Northern borderlands you can travel towards Mtiuleti and Khevi provinces via one of the oldest roads in Georgia, which is namedas the Georgian Military Highway. If weather conditions permit we'll see 'Mkinvartsveri" or Kazbegi meaning 'ice-top" in English, spent volcano soaring to height of 5047 m. Mount Kazbegi is the third highest and one of the best known peaks in the Caucasus.
Kazbegi National Park is located on the northern slopes of the mighty Caucasus range, and its protected area covers a total of over 8,700 hectares. At 5,047 metres above sea level, Kazbegi Mountain (or Mkinvartsveri) is the third highest mountain in Georgia, and is surrounded by myths and religious tradition. According to Georgian stories, it was the icy slopes of Kazbegi to which Titan Prometheus, a greek mythological figure, was chained for all eternity as punishment for teaching mankind how to make fire. Prometheus (known as Amirani in Georgia) was supposedly imprisoned in a cave 4,000 meters high. The cave, now called Betlemi (Bethlehem), later served as a dwelling for orthodox monks, and is said to have contained many sacred relics, including Abraham's tent and Christ's manger. Hot springs and acidic and carbonated lakes surround the mountain, and earth tremors are fairly frequent. Covered with 135 square kilometres of glacier, Kazbegi is a great place for ice climbing and mountaineering, hiking and tenting in Summer.
The Dariali Gorge is an impossibly steep cleft in the mountains connecting Russia and Georgia, running for 18km from Stepantsminda to the Russian border at Zemo Larsi (Upper Lars). For millennia, this mountain passage has been strategically crucial, and has been fortified since at least 150 BC. In places, the cliff faces are more than 1,000m high, and medieval watchtowers, waterfalls and wildlife make this one of the most incredible roads in the world. The steep valleys either side of the gorge are great places for bird watching. Eagles, hawks and the massive griffon vultures all nest among the rocky outcrops. The town of Stepantsminda (also called Kazbegi) itself is charming and a wonderful base camp for exploring the region further. There are many guesthouses where locals are happy to treat you like family, rustic and beautiful with views of the mountains, and often the picturesque Gergeti Trinity Church.
• Ananuri - Ananuri castle represents multifunctional architectural complex of the late feudal times in Georgia. Built on the right bank of Aragvi River in 16th-17th cc, it was the main seat of Aragvi Eristavi - Dukes dynasty since 13th c . The village Ananuri is located on the main trade rout leading to the North, and in past it was part of the Great Silk Road. Nowadays the road is called the Georgian Military Highway. The distance from Tbilisi is 74 km (1 h) - beautiful driving along Zhinvali water reservoir damping clean and blue mountain river of Aragvi. The castle, the bell tower, three churches and beautifully carved walls are the highlites why the site is frequently visited.
• Gergeti Trinity Church is a popular name for Holy Trinity Church near the village of Gergeti in Georgia. The church is situated on the right bank of the river Chkheri (the left tributary of the river Tergi), at an elevation of 2170 meters, under Mount Kazbegi. This architectural complex from the XIV century is located in the village of Gergeti, 6 km from the town of Stepantsminda, at a height of 2200 m. The complex includes Holy Trinity Cathedral, constructed in the XIV century, the bell tower built in the XIV century, and clergy houses from the XV century. You can hike up to the complex in about two hours, hire a driver, or even rent a horse!
• Juta - The village of Juta is one of the highest settlements (2200 m) in the municipality of Kazbegi, and is located 24 km from Stepantsminda. The Chaukhi mountain range, located near the village, is situated on the main ridge of the Caucasus mountain range, at the source of the river Bakurkhevi. Juta will make you feel the beauty of the maountains.
We recommend to wear sports shoes or boots.

The census has been postponed for two years due to the pandemic. New questions on recycling, pets, and generic sex identification could be included in the questionnaire.
The national census is planned for the last quarter of 2022. It will take place after two years of postponement due to the pandemic.
With the study, Ecuador will have updated statistics that will aid in better planning of public policies.
According to the Constitution, the national census must be carried out every 10 years. It was planned for 2020, but the pandemic caused its postponement to 2021, and then to 2022.
According to the United Nations Statistics Division, Ecuador is one of the 36 countries that postponed their census due to the coronavirus.
But the postponement of the census has specific effects on the country and its government. The statistics with which public policy is managed are projections on figures from 12 years ago.
"The last national census was in November 2010, and during the intercensal period, there have been important changes in the demographic dynamics of the country, (as) observed from other sources: decrease in fertility, increase in migration, pandemic," reported the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC).
According to the INEC, the census is the only tool that allows an approach to the socioeconomic reality at the lowest level of territorial disaggregation. This is because it reaches the entire population and is not based on a sample (like employment surveys, for example).
Census planning
The INEC is still evaluating the methodology to be used in the census. Once this aspect is defined, the date of the registration in the field will be set (the day that the census takers go to the homes). This day will tentatively occur in the last quarter of 2022.
As part of the planning, between November 23rd and December 4, 2021, a pilot census was carried out in Limón Indanza (Morona Santiago). In addition, the Institute carried out a cartographic update, which concluded in the middle of the year, to obtain an approximate number of dwellings to be surveyed.
As the methodology has not yet been defined, there is still no firm budget. Although it is estimated that this will be around $27 million. The project has priority status in the National Planning Secretariat.
New topics in the questionnaire
The questionnaire to be used in the census has not yet been defined. However, there are new topics that are planned to be included. Among the new topics to be added are:
A module of general mortality.
Recycling practices.
Pet ownership
Questions that correspond to generic sex identification.
The design of the questionnaire began in 2019 with the installation of the Special Statistical Commission for the Population and Housing Census, made up of different public institutions in the country. In addition, meetings and workshops were held with representatives of civil society, academia, and international organizations.


Discussion in 'Blu-ray & DVD Players & Recorders' started by jeffrr, May 19, 2004.
I got my Dx-3220 today and was very upset to find that none of my many backed up dvds, all on Infiniti -R x2 and burnt at x2 speed, will play properly.
The picture and sound break up intermitantly. I have tried aroung 6 titles, which I have confirmed again in my old Sony NS330 to be perfect, and they all exhibit the same problem. Any ideas?
Unfortunately I bought a large batch of these DVD's and I currently think there may be a compatability problem with them and this player?
Can anyone else confirm that Infiniti DVD -r x2 white top disks, burnt at x2 speed work or not with this player?
Where can you download the latest firmware, or is that a wast of time?


This Peer to Peer Open Recovery Group project is about providing a space for simple conversations about life, love, and recovery always directing attendees back to their own innate health and wisdom.
We provide a platform for people who identify as being "in recovery" for conversations about innate health and wisdom. The 3 Principles understanding will act as a foundation for these conversations.
These calls are for people who identify as being "in recovery" such as those who have recently left a formal addiction treatment center or anyone who has searched for an understanding that may lead to freedom from a destructive habit.
Please Note: Recovery Reflections is a peer to peer group sharing conversations about love, life, and recovery. Although these conversation can be potentially life-changing, you as a participant remain responsible for your choices, thoughts, and feelings throughout the conversations. Our peer facilitators are not medical professionals or counselors and are not giving medical advice.
If you like these free calls please consider making a donation to cover production costs and keep them free.
Groups will be facilitated by dedicated volunteers. They are not doctors, psychiatrists, or psychologists but rather ordinary people who have discovered their own personal truths. No longer shackled by "addiction" co-facilitators will point attendees to what they themselves have seen. Guided by the principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, attendees will eventually come to see their own true nature which is love and understanding. And that changes everything! Better decisions about relationships, work, and health are made with clarity and compassion when we see the nature of thought working in our lives.
Patty Tanji and friends will be co-facilitating the groups. Patty was introduced to the principles of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought in 2015. She sees these conversations, affectionately called Recovery Reflections, to be an alternative to, but not in conflict of, any 12 Step program.
Wherever you are in your recovery, whether you've been a 12 stepper for years, or aren't even sure you want to give up drinking or using, we hope you will join us.


I had a kidney removed when I was 4 years old due to an accident. I'm now 29 years old with one perfectly healthy probably oversized kidney covering the dual function. I'm fit, healthy, athletic and train on a daily basis. As such I do need some supplementation. I'm currently on 4g of fish oil daily (4x 1000mg capsules) and 2000IU of vitamin D3 daily (because I live in Melbourne and lack sun exposure).
I've been experiencing problems getting a good night's sleep lately and I've come across suggestions on websites that Magnesium is a good third supplement for active men like myself.
Is it fine for someone in my situation to supplement on Magnesium Chelate? I'm thinking about starting with a daily dose of 4x 500mg Capsules (equivalent to a total of 400mg of elemental Magnesium).
While I cannot tell you what is 'safe' for anyone, what I can tell you is that the reason magnesium is dangerous for those with impaired kidney function is that magnesium is water soluble and the excess is cleared by the kidneys.
So, impaired kidney function can lead to a buildup of excess magnesium and lead to high levels in the blood that could lead to an overdose.
So, so long as your kidneys are clearing the magnesium, for instance if your kidney clears toxins as sufficiently as two kidneys, then it should theoretically clear magnesium as well as anyone else.
You can play it safe by getting magnesium levels after the first couple of weeks and then every few months until you are sufficiently convinced that your kidney is clearing as well as it should.
In the meantime, make yourself familiar with the Symptoms of Magnesium Overdose and if you have any of those problems, you can just assume that it is a problem of overdose until you get a magnesium level and determine if your levels are high or not.

Meibomian glands are glands that are arranged vertically within the eyelid near the lashes. The force of an eyelid blink causes oil to be excreted onto the posterior lid margin. The oil is the "staying power" of the tears that helps prevent rapid tear evaporation. In a patient with Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), vision is affected because there is too much or too little oil in the tear film.
Heating the lids will increase oil production and melt the oil that has solidified in the glands. Use a warm washcloth to apply heat on the eyelids for two minutes. This warms the oil, allowing it to flow more freely, and helps soften lash debris.
This helps to remove oil, bacteria and debris. It also stimulates the oil glands. Use a Q-tip or a warm washcloth on the tips of your fingers to rub along the lash line on the top and bottom lid.
In addition to the above, some people benefit by adding omega-3 fats to their diet which will help with the oil consistency. About 1tsp/day for toddlers or 1Tbsp/day for older children is enough. Mix with juice, smoothies, or hot cereal. Do not take with blood-thinning medication or blood-sugar lowering medication. If your child can take pills, there are tablets that can be taken instead (ex Thera Tears Nutrition).
Used in conjunction with warm compresses and lid massage helps to health of Meibonian Glands so that it can produce the essential oils in the tear film.

Julie Christie started out as a newspaper journalist, before moving into television in the late 80s. In 1991 she set up her own company, Touchdown Productions; fifteen years later she sold Touchdown to Dutch media group Eyeworks, lthough she stayed on as CEO of Eyeworks New Zealand until late 2012.
After the documentary rated highly, Christie went and asked for a pay rise, but was turned down. So she went and formed Touchdown Productions; within a few years she had grown it into New Zealand's largest producer of entertainment TV, with a thriving business in exporting programme formats. Christie told Her magazine that she became "a lot more staunch" about retaining intellectual property rights after "three programmes I had created were taken from me to be produced in-house at TVNZ". She also took on the long-running This is Your Life, winning two New Zealand television awards in the process.
By the time Eyeworks bought the company, Touchdown shows had been franchised to 29 countries. Breakthrough quiz show The Chair was one of its most successful exports.
Many of Christie's programmes became staples of local television schedules — Changing Rooms, nine seasons plus of My House My Castle, Whose House Is It Anyway, export Treasure Island, DIY Rescue, Trading Places, and eleven years of Game of Two Halves. The company has also retooled overseas formats for local audiences, including time-travelling reality show Pioneer House, Captive and Dragons' Den, in which Christie was one of the those who decided which entrepreneurs to invest in.
Touchdown's shows made stars out of a number of presenters, including Matthew Ridge and Marc Ellis (Fresh-up in the Deep End) and April Ieremia. Some shows failed to find success (eg The Player, starring Nicky Watson); others dared to turn reality television on its head (Living the Dream, in which all the contestants but one were actors).
In 2001 Touchdown began to exploit its formats overseas. Its first American pitch — and sale — resulted in High Country Dance (which Christie directed, wrote and produced) screening on the Fox Network under the title Looking For Love: Bachelorettes in Alaska. "The US market is wonderfully open to ideas from outside," she has said. "They have a voracious appetite and unscripted television is a vital part of everyday life to them."
Further international success followed with productions of Treasure Island for RTE Ireland and Australia's Channel 7. Then came 2002 quiz show The Chair, which Touchdown produced in two versions that year: a Kiwi version hosted by Matthew Ridge, and one for ABC in America, led by tennis legend John McEnroe. Although the American version lasted only one season, the format went on to sell to 29 countries including the BBC, VOX in Germany and TF1 in France.
In later years Touchdown expanded cautiously into drama, with 2008 dead husband series Burying Brian, and feature films The Tattooist and The Hopes and Dreams of Gazza Snell.
Christie has won two NZ Television Awards for Best Entertainment Programme, two Qantas Media Awards for Best Lifestyle series, and People's Choice Awards for Game of Two Halves and DIY Rescue. In 2012 she was annointed best director, for launching the Kiwi version of renovation show The Block. She was the recipient of the WIFT 2004 award for international television achievement, and chaired the Government's Screen Production Industry Taskforce. She was also the first Kiwi recipient of the prestigious global Veuve Clicquot Award, which celebrates female entrepreneurship.
In 2007 Christie was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for Services to Television; she became a Dame Companion of the Order in 2017, for her contributions to television, and her time on the boards of both the 2011 Rugby World Cup board and the NZ Story Group, "which protects the intellectual property of the Silver Fern".
Christie is on the board of directors at MediaWorks, owners of TV3. Her business interests include pay TV channels, Living and Food, investments in restaurants and bars, and a resort in Fiji.

2006-03-30 : Fast forward to today… dammit I've got to get on top of this bloggin thing !!
Thursday 30th March, 2006 Blog 1.0
So because I've been so damn slack, but multiple attempts to get up to speed in the last week and a half have gone nowhere, here's the short, short version:
18th March – hooked up with Sean Ramsey-Hyphen-Bullshit-Moore and went to see Pete and Dud: Come Again – a play exploring the relationship between Peter Cook & Dudley Moore. Certainly not a bad play, and the actors have the mannerisms down to an *extremely* fine art. Something about the whole experience felt a bit hollow though… I guess it was because I didn't feel like I was learning anything new. Entertaining though.
20th March – rocked along to Shepherds Bush Empire with Catrin and Brian to see The Black Crowes. Bloody good gig, although my "not really listen to a band before seeing them" strategy didn't seem to pay off this time, as I felt a bit lost a few times. Apparently the set was primarily geared up for proper fans, rather than tourists like me. Needed more guitars though.
24th March (I'll stop writing March now, cos these are all in March) – Catrin, HC and I charged on down to the Hammersmith Apollo and saw Henry Rollins on his latest spoken word tour. Rollins is a god damn legend. He's an angry man with a lot to say, and anger's great because where there's anger there's drive and sometimes passion. And in this case, there's passion alright, which I gotta sya I find really inspiring. He talked about Bush, about touring Afghanistan with the USO, about being hit on by a gay Pakistani New York Cab driver, about spending a week on the Trans Siberian Express, how cool it was to be on the Big Day Out, and a whole load of other stuff. And afterwards Catrin & I went to a well awesome turkish place in West Kensington where I had skewered quails.
25th – went to the Walkabout at Shepherds Bush for Gaenor's birthday with Craig and Kate. Yes, I went to a Walkabout. Inside. And we ordered snakebites. So there's another experience off the list. Fascinating bit of social anthropology there though. Oh and they played Khe Sanh.
26th – Paul and I went to the Natural History Museum, and this time we *succeeded* in seeing the Giant Squid. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!11! What a cool tour – they took us down into the Darwin Centre, which among other things is where the NHM stores their species jars, and there's just shelf upon shelf of jars with animals in them. And the guide showed us some that were actually preserved by Charles Darwin himself ! The main event though was the 8m long giant squid, and what an awesome sight it was. Slappity slappity slap, flappity flappity flap.
27th – Teen Cancer Trust fundraising comedy gig at Royal Albert Hall. We had 7 comedians to keep us busy – Lee Mack, Russell Brand, Robin Ince, Stewart Lee, Alan Carr, Sean Lock, and headlined by Ricky Gervais – and in summary the whole thing was bloody tedious and badly produced. From the word go there were cockups, as we weren't allowed to use half of the entrance doors (you try filling the Albert Hall using only half of the doors !), Russell Brand seemed to lack sparkle as a compere (even though I think he was the funniest comic on the night), there were sound cockups, and generally they seemed to be the wrong performers for the wrong room. Brand did a piece on pedophiles, Lee tapped learning difficulties as a topic, Mack spoke out in favour of drink driving, and Gervais took the piss out of Myalgic encephalomyelitis and said it wasn't a real disease. Far from being a wowser, I just thought it was a fairly second rate choice of material for a charity gig, and clearly so did the audience as there wasn't much noise being made overall. Having said that, I didn't think much of their taste anyway given that they really made all the other performers work for it, but they roared with laughter at almost everything Gervais said (at which point it was obvious who they were all there to see). Having said that, I'd definitely go and see Brand, Lock or Mack in another venue, however on the whole I just felt like I'd been milked of 50 quid for a second-rate gig.
29th – Brian & I trekked down to Hammersmith to see Sigur Ros, the Finnish hard-ambient band of whom I'd never heard any material. Absolutely top class gig. Music was varied enough not to seem repetetive (other than the high pitched keening vocal work that sounded like a humpback whale on helium, being strangled) but cohesive enough not to be disturbing with its variety. The lighting design was one of the best I've ever seen, and I really dug their use of scrim & projector plus backlighting. Also they had surround sound going on, which was kinda neat and very effective in places. I can't relay any song titles, because I had no idea what they were singing (any lyrics you can make out are in some kind of pseudo-Finnish made up language), but would be keen to get hold of their stuff to listen to in future.
31st – It was Kate's birthday, so she, Craig, Naomi, Kate and Flora from the Wales trip and I all hooked up at Rollerdisco near King's Cross, and had a rockin' time. I still maintain that on wheels is not my natural mode.
1st April – Paul & I braved the southern reaches of London (well, London Bridge, anyway) to go see Bill Bailey trying out some new material before his trip to the US. The gig had nowhere near the polish of Part Troll, but I still thought it was wild and cemented home that Bailey is one of the more original, intelligent & talented comedians out there today. And as for musically gifted… well, all except for getting the crowd to sing California Dreaming as his encore. Bloody hell I hate that dreary song.
2nd – spent the afternoon shopping for food in Chinatown with Emzo and Lord Science, followed by a big Chinese cookup at our place. Then I got an unexpected call from Jess and shot over to West Hampstead to have a go in her pub quiz with the ebullient Leanne. The weirdest bit of the night though was that when I was trying to find where the girls were sitting, I made eye contact with a girl who seemed incredibly familiar, and upon investigation it turned out to be Kerry who I used to work with at Suspect Computing in 2001, and hadn't seen since ! So random ?! The Adelaide Effect is indeed alive and well.
And of course in between that there's been all the usual kickboxing, tai chi, morris dancing, socialising, and pursuit of the ridiculous that takes place around here.
So there you go, that was the short version. Just in time too, cos things are just starting to get busy.

Bride dies of heart attack at her wedding in India, so groom marries sister instead
A groom who was left without a bride on his wedding day when his fiancee dropped dead still tied the knot, marrying her sister instead.

In France something like that is even legal (as in legally binding), see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posthumous_marriage_in_France
That would explain
Necrophilia is a form of sexual intercourse or attraction towards the corpses. Like most countries,
France has its own bizarre laws and practices, part of which is the law backing necrophilia. France and
some other countries allow necrogamy, a kind of marriage in which one of the participating members
is dead. It is also called posthumous marriage.

"It is likely that Surbhi's family would have been expecting a dowry and needed the wedding to go ahead, according to a report by The Sun."
I thought it was the bride's family that had to pay the dowry in India ...

Following investigation, Rockets' Danuel House out of NBA bubble
By Kurt HelinSep 11, 2020, 6:40 PM EDT
David Sherman/NBAE via Getty Images
Rockets' sixth man Danuel House has left the NBA restart bubble in Orlando, and he is out for the rest of the playoffs. His teammates may not be far behind him.
The NBA announced it concluded its investigation into House, finding he let a woman into the Rockets' hotel (the Grand Floridian) in violation of NBA bubble protocol. The result of the investigation is that House has left the restart bubble:
The findings are that: (i) Houston Rockets forward Danuel House had a guest in his hotel room over multiple hours on September 8 who was not authorized to be on campus and (ii) no evidence was found that other players or staff had contact with the guest or were involved in this incident.
"Mr. House is leaving the NBA campus and will not participate with the Rockets team in additional games this season."
House allegedly helped a woman who was one of the people testing players for the coronavirus back into the campus, then she spent time in his room. While there had been leaks about a lack of video and direct evidence (leaks that certainly came from people tied to the Rockets or the players' union), and complaints stars would have gotten different treatment, the league felt it had enough evidence to take this step. There has been no formal reaction yet from Houston or the players' union.
Two quick thoughts here. One is an interesting note from current Indy star Pacers' beat writer J. Michael, who worked for NBC Sports Washington covering the Wizards previously. What House did in the bubble may not have been out of character.
Note: He had 2 stints in DC to start his career and didn't stick though he was good enough. I'd reported then the reasons they moved on had to do with off-court judgment. It wasn't about his ability to play https://t.co/yxD0QxGb1J
— J. Michael (@ThisIsJMichael) September 11, 2020
The other thought: This is a blow to the Rockets' hopes of a comeback against the Lakers from down 3-1. House has missed the last two games of Houston's series against the L.A. Lakers, both Rockets' losses, and they missed his shooting and toughness, especially against a Los Angeles team that tests Houston's depth.
P.J. Tucker today: "He plays 30 minutes a game on our team. When you're missing somebody that (plays) that much game time for your team, it's tough. We're having to make up for it, but it's something we'll have to adjust and figure out." https://t.co/HYPsKDyAaN

Game 5 in the Lakers/Rockets series is Saturday.


First stop was plantswoman Derry Watkins' nursery in Wiltshire (see Derry's poppies in main picture!) – and another Garden House tradition, getting the coach stuck in narrow twisty country lanes! Our intrepid driver Andy, who knows us well by now, worked miracles in reverse gear while the rest of the party continued a short distance to the nursery on foot. Derry was in China, but her lovely staff were very welcoming and informative. After lunch in the house – with views overlooking the surrounding fields and hills – we had a talk on how the nursery works, and a tour of the various areas, from propagation to sales. Which meant that we fell on the amazing array of tempting plants in this small but versatile nursery. Then tea and cake (of course – you never go hungry on a Garden House trip) and a wander around Derry's steep terraced garden, trying to match up the plant lists with what was growing. There were beautiful eryngiums, salvias, poppies and hardy geraniums, to mention just a few. The afternoon was cool, grey and drizzly; looking back from the middle of a heatwave and drought, this seems something of a miracle now.
Next, our base for the next few days, the Eastbury Hotel in Sherborne, Dorset. It has a pretty garden and a part-time gardener who was happy for us to store our plant purchases safely in the shade and gave us access to watering cans.
The sun was shining for our visit to the Hauser & Wirth gallery at Bruton, Somerset, the following morning. This is an amazing exhibition space in old farm buildings, some of which date back to the monastic era, and set in carefully curated gardens, mainly designed by Piet Oudolf. The current exhibition is artwork and installations by Alexander Calder, which fitted perfectly into the interior spaces and the spectacular planting of the courtyard. There was lots of time to wander or sit, take photographs, and puzzle about some of the plants in the huge meadow garden, before we convened in the outdoor restaurant for lunch. The gallery and garden is open 6 days a week, free entry, and highly recommended.
In total contrast, our next visit of the day was to Charles Dowding in the nearby village of Allhampton. Charles is the guru of no-dig vegetable growing and showed us round his prolific garden, giving us all sorts of tips and challenging some accepted wisdom. We saw the long bay of compost heaps, the covered areas where seedlings were grown on the heat created by – basically – a mound of manure, and a small productive area by the house which was more readily translatable to our own gardens. All finished with lemon verbena tea.
Next morning, off to the Jacobean Newton House, near Yeovil, which combines a large private garden and a bespoke gin distillery! We had the gin tour – but sadly no tasting – and learned that the small-batch gin is made with their own spring water and botanicals grown in the garden. Then we were free to wander the gardens, which incorporated old walled formal gardens, many climbing roses, several informal throw-and-sow beds, two ancient carp ponds, and meadows leading down to a river. Some of the planting was relatively recent but there were many impressive mature trees in the lush green landscape and the sun blazed down, making it very picturesque. After coffee and fab home-made biscuits at the red gingham-themed tea room-plus-gin bar, and some eager gin purchasing, we returned to visit Sherborne for a couple of hours.
Our next port of call was Corton Denham House. Here we were given an extensive tour by our host, Dr Robin Odgers,of the five lovingly cultivated acres – which included so many varieties of tree that it should be called an arboretum! The good depth of rich soil, which we were told rolls down the steep hill above the house, irrigated by numerous springs, and the shelter from so many larger trees, meant that growth was unbelievably rapid. Saplings planted 5 years ago were high above our heads. In the newest planting area the owner continues to squeeze ever more trees into the spaces between the last batch planted. It was a lovely eccentric way of managing a garden, and his motto is 'You're never too old to plant a tree'. We were also impressed with the walled vegetable garden and stunning tall 'garden fence' of pleached hornbeam which made for good neighbours, as it let light and air through but gave sufficient privacy. We learnt that fruit trees are espaliered while non-fruit trees are pleached (same technique) and picked up much useful information about growing fruit, veg, and hedges.
A short stroll away was the Queen's Arms where we had dinner, and which is supplied with produce by the Corton Denham gardens – so local we could count the 'air metres' rather than 'air miles' – and to kickstart a great evening, an uproarious wine tasting quiz, the results of which will stay forever a Garden House secret!
Our last visit before heading home on Saturday was to Lower Severalls garden and nursery, near Crewkerne, so at last another chance to buy plants. Unlike on previous trips, the coach did notresemble a botanical gardens greenhouse by then.
Lower Severalls is a typical cottage style garden with overflowing beds of flowers, herbs, and roses, and lots of self-seeded plants amongst the paving stones. A charming glazed room against the house-wall had a small pond and interesting pelargoniums and tender climbers. Mary, the owner, provided us with a lovely lunch on tables on the lawn outside the beautiful Grade 2 Ham Stone house. Then we pottered round the nursery, which is small but has a really good selection of unusual perennials, herbs, and wild flowers, with a few shrubs. Mary's assistants were very well informed and super helpful about the plants.
Once again, thanks to Bridge and Deborah for arranging a unique garden tour, with lots of lovely flowers, food for thought, and – well – just food. You blessed us with the perfect weather, too, to make everything look gorgeous without being too hot, so extra points for that! Looking forward to the next trip.
