The application deadline for the M.F.A in Creative Writing and the M.A./Ph.D. and M.A. programs in English is January 1 of each year for the following fall. Undergraduate major or its equivalent is required. Graduate Record Examination: the General Test is required for all applicants. The Subject Test in English Literature is also required for the M.A./Ph.D. in Literature. A potentially superior student who has not majored in English may be admitted conditionally, but must remove deficiencies without graduate credit. Students who wish to be admitted for the M.A./Ph.D., M.A., or M.F.A. in Creative Writing must submit samples of their work.
For specific M.A. concentrations (see descriptions) and the Ph.D. with Concentration in Rhetoric, students will demonstrate reading proficiency in one foreign language. For the Ph.D. with a Concentration in Literature, students will demonstrate either (a) proficiency in depth in one foreign language, or (b) reading proficiency in two foreign languages. Students will select their foreign language(s) in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies. With the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, students may substitute an approved research skill in lieu of a second foreign language proficiency.
Candidates for a combined degree must fulfill all requirements for the M.A. (including where necessary the language requirement), as well as general and major requirements for the B.A. in English. Upon completion of the 116 credits, including fulfillment of requirements for the English major, students with a minimum GPA of 3.5 overall and 3.7 in English may apply for conditional admission to the graduate program their senior year, which may be counted toward the completion of the M.A. degree in a fifth year of study. (At the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies, an otherwise qualified student who is still completing an honors thesis may apply for conditional admission.) No courses used to satisfy the B.A. requirements may be applied toward the M.A. The Graduate Record Examination, both General Test and Subject Test in English Literature, is required and must be taken before admission is completed following the final semester of undergraduate study.
M.A. students must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade point average; M.F.A. and Ph.D. students, a 3.5 grade point average. Admission to the Ph.D. normally requires a 3.7 grade point average and the recommendations of graduate faculty.

A total of 90 credit hours; students will be required to take 16 credit hours in English beyond the 30 credit hours required for the M.A. At least four 700-level seminars in English are required for the Ph.D. At the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies, one seminar substitution may be allowed. Such substitutions may include but are not limited to the use of one transferred seminar, one seminar-level equivalent course from a relevant Indiana University department, OR a 600-level English department course with verified seminar-level work. Students must also satisfy course requirements for a graduate minor (see below). Students transferring into the department with M.A. degrees from other universities may be required to take several more courses than the minimum.
Foreign Language: Two languages, reading proficiency, OR one language, reading proficiency, plus the fulfillment of the research skill requirement, OR one language at the level of in-depth proficiency. Language competency will be verified by the relevant foreign language department or program. Per the department's policy, students may, with the approval of the Director of Graduate Studies, substitute an approved research skill in lieu of the second foreign language proficiency.
A total of 90 credit hours, including at least 16 credit hours beyond the 30 credit hours required for the M.A. degree, to include at least four 700-level departmental seminars. The total must include R546 (Rhetoric and Public Culture); R607 (History of Rhetorical Theory I); and R608 (History of Rhetorical Theory II). Information about relevant courses, including those offered by other departments, is available from the chair of the Composition Committee and the student's advisory committee.
Each year the graduate faculty will examine the grades and instructors' reports on all students and will discourage from further work those whose achievements and potential are below standard. Students who fail to maintain a 3.7 GPA or who accumulate three or more grades of Incomplete will be placed on departmental probation.
Ph.D. students in English may take minors in the following departments and programs: American studies, African American and African Diaspora studies, art history, comparative literature, cultural studies, English and German philology, film studies, folklore, French, gender studies, German, Greek, history, Italian, journalism, Latin, linguistics, medieval studies, performance studies, philosophy, religion, Renaissance studies, Slavics, Spanish, theatre, drama and contemporary dance, Victorian studies, and European studies. Minors in additional departments may also be accepted at the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies. Internal minors in a field outside the student's major field concentration may also be considered. Requirements for outside minors are set by the minor department.
Among the specific minors the English Department offers are the following: American Literature, British Literature, Creative Writing, English and Germanic Philology, Feminist Critical Studies, History of the Book, Literary Theory, and Pedagogy. Minors within the department must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies. For candidates earning double degrees (e.g. MFA & PhD; MA & MLIS), coursework toward the second degree (the degree that is not the English PhD) replaces the minor.
Upon completion of doctoral course work, students will prepare and take a doctoral qualifying examination. The examination consists of two parts: an oral examination based upon a reading list and the defense of a written dissertation prospectus. Assuming the student enters the program without an M.A., the exams are taken in his or her fourth year in the program. The oral examination tests a student's qualifications as a specialist in his or her chosen field; the prospectus and defense test a student's qualifications and readiness for undertaking the dissertation. Part one of the exam is taken in September; the prospectus should be completed the following spring and defended by the second week of May. Students pursuing a dual-degree PhD are allowed some flexibility in the timing of the qualifying exam. Further details of the procedure are available from the Director of Graduate Studies.
Following the successful completion of the first part of the qualifying examination, the student names his dissertation committee and may register for W795, the dissertation prospectus writing workshop taught each spring by the Director of Graduate Studies. The prospectus and bibliography are written in consultation with supervisory faculty and with the instructor of W795. When the prospectus is ready to be approved, the student submits it to his committee and arranges a time for the defense of the prospectus (which constitutes the final part of the Qualifying Exam). In this two-hour oral exam, members of the dissertation committee examine the claims of the prospectus as well as the dissertation research proposed, and assess the student's preparedness to undertake a long-term independent research project. The committee may ask for further revisions of the prospectus. The student must revise the prospectus as needed and submit it to the Director of Graduate Studies no later than the end of May. The prospectus may be re-submitted and the defense repeated once within 6 months of the first attempt.
After the dissertation proposal has been approved, the student will nominate a research committee consisting of no fewer than three members of the English department faculty and a representative of the minor.
Final Examination: Oral dissertation defense, at the completion of the dissertation project.

Michael Matt, né le  à Zams, est un skieur alpin autrichien. Vainqueur de sa première manche de Coupe du monde en 2017, il remporte la médaille de bronze olympique du slalom en 2018, puis celle d'argent dans la même discipline aux Championnats du monde 2019.

Biographie
Michael Matt, membre du SK Flirsch, commence sa carrière officielle en 2008 et entre en Coupe d'Europe en 2011, compétition dans laquelle il monte sur son premier podium en 2015 à Kranjska Gora en slalom. Entre 2012 et 2014, il prend part aux Championnats du monde junior, obtenant deux top dix en 2014, à Jasná, avec sa huitième place au combiné et sa neuvième place au slalom géant. Il aussi été double champion d'Autriche junior du slalom en 2012 et 2013.

Surnommé Michi, il est présent au slalom d'ouverture de Coupe du monde de la saison 2013-2014. Il marque ses premiers points en  au slalom de Wengen, où il est . Il est sélectionné pour les Championnats du monde 2015, où il ne termine pas le slalom.

En , il est sixième du slalom de Naeba (son premier top 10). En , il monte sur son premier podium au slalom de Levi. Il remporte en  le slalom de Kranjska Gora, 30 centièmes de seconde devant Stefano Gross. Pour finir sa saison, il prend la troisième place à Aspen et occupe alors la cinquième place du classement final de slalom en Coupe du monde.

Au mois de janvier 2021, il réalise la meilleure semaine de compétition de sa carrière, arrivant tout à tour deuxième du parallèle (City Event) à Oslo, puis deuxième des slaloms à Zagreb et Adelboden, lors desquels, il est battu seulement de peu par son compatriote Marcel Hirscher.
Lors des Jeux olympiques de Pyeongchang, il termine troisième de l'épreuve du Slalom derrière le Suédois André Myhrer et le Suisse Ramon Zenhäusern. Il est remonté depuis le douzième rang après la première manche. Il gagne aussi la médaille d'argent à l'épreuve par équipes lors de ces jeux.

Aux Championnats du monde 2019, à Åre il devient vice-champion du slalom derrière Marcel Hirscher et devant Marco Schwarz, pour un podium entièrement autrichien. Il est aussi médaillé d'argent par équipes. Cet hiver, il compte un seul podium en Coupe du monde avec une troisième place au slalom de Madonna di Campiglio.

Depuis, il recule dans la hiérarchie mondiale du slalom, se classant neuvième lors des Championnats du monde 2021 et enregistrant un abandon aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2022.

Digital Energy is a project development and energy consulting firm. Digital focuses on maximizing financial performance, by working with DER (Distributed Energy Resources) owners, to efficiently operate their energy assets. Digital believes that combining other DER technologies with the ZincNyx flow battery solution will provide a mechanism for DER owners to derive additional value. Digital's participation in FERC, NYISO, and PSC proceeding has led to beneficial regulatory changes for DER owners. Digital is currently participating in several regulatory proceedings that will provide additional value streams to the owners of these types of energy assets. Digital is uniquely positioned to assist owners in monetizing the full value of their facilities. To learn more about Digital Energy visit www.digitalenergyny.com.
"ZincNyx Energy Solutions Inc. has developed new methods to expand the capacity of its zinc-air fuel cell battery as part of the mass production design phase.
ZincNyx has developed a patented regenerative zinc-air flow battery that efficiently stores energy in the form of zinc particles and contains none of the traditional high cost battery commodities such as lithium, vanadium or cobalt. The technology allows for low-cost mass storage of energy and can be deployed into a wide range of applications.
Unlike conventional batteries, which have a fixed energy/power ratio, ZincNyx's technology uses a fuel tank system that offers flexible energy/power ratios and scalability. The storage capacity is directly tied to the size of the fuel tank and the quantity of recharged zinc fuel, making scalability a major advantage of the flow battery system. In addition, a further major advantage of the zinc-air flow battery is the ability to charge and discharge simultaneously and at different maximum charge or discharge rates, since each of the charge and discharge circuits is separate and independent. Other types of standard and flow batteries are limited to a maximum charge and discharge by the total number of cells as there is no separation of the charge, discharge and storage components.
The basic system consists of a Regenerator unit, a Main Tank and a Fuel Cell. When the system is recharging, electrical power is used in the Regenerator unit to produce fine particles of zinc within a bearer electrolyte. As the system continues to be charged, the zinc particles are collected in the Main Tank, surrounded by the common electrolyte and oxygen is released to the air.
When the system is generating power, the zinc particles are delivered from the Main Tank to the Fuel Cell in the bearer electrolyte. The zinc particles are combined with oxygen drawn from the air and electrical power is delivered to the load.
Although the Main Tank of the basic system may be made of any suitable size, there are practical limitations to the physical size and electrical capacity of the Regenerator and Fuel Cell units. ZincNyx has overcome this restriction by developing an expanded capacity system wherein multiple Regenerator units and multiple Fuel Cells can be assembled into a single system to deliver a wide variety of configurations and capacities that can be optimised for individual applications.
Whereas the Fuel Cells may be fed from the same electrolyte source, the Regenerator units must be free to exhaust oxygen at atmospheric pressure. In the basic system, this requirement places a restriction on the vertical placement of these units since any difference in height could lead to electrolyte overflow from one unit to another. In the expanded system, ZincNyx has solved this problem by providing a separate Sump Tank and individual electrolyte flows for each Regenerator unit. The design provides additional benefits in simplifying the piping arrangement while enabling the Regenerator units to be closely stacked above each other.
An application for a patent on the invention has been filed through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) process and has been published as WO2018/018145.
-- A system and method for storing electrical energy, in particular for regenerative fuel cells.
-- An energy storage system comprising a particle regeneration subsystem for regenerating metallic particulate fuel, a fuel storage subsystem and a power generation subsystem for producing electrical energy from the metallic particulate fuel.
-- The provision of one or more intermediate tanks to assist in the release of oxygen to the atmosphere and/or the settling of the metallic particulate fuel from the bearer electrolyte.
-- The independent flow of electrolyte and/or fuel between the various subsystems"

New Zealand, like any other country, has its expensive areas and its cheap areas. Yet overall migrants from the UK will find that NZ compares favourably to Britain.
The Mercer 2018 Cost of Living Survey noted a dramatic drop in the rankings for both New Zealand and Australian cities compared to last year, mainly due to the movement of other cities. Auckland and Wellington, at 81 and 101 respectively, fell 15 and 20 places from last year's 2017 survey. Whilst London jumped 10 spots to rank 19. Sydney comes in at rank 29 and New York, 13.
Therefore, if you are used to London prices you may find New Zealand a very pleasant surprise. However, compared to some areas of the UK, the general cost of living in New Zealand can be higher. It all depends on where you're departing from, and your planned destination.
Do remember however, that cheaper regions tend to pay cheaper salaries and vice versa, as the cost of living depend heavily on how much you are earning.
When buying groceries, do take into account the seasons, as purchasing tomatoes imported during the winter will cost considerably more.
Energy prices fluctuate in New Zealand and can be expensive depending on where you live. Electricity is unsubsidised, but cost per kilowatt hour isn't that far off the UK cost and like the UK, electricity prices are rising each year. To find out about prices where you live, visit the Power Switch website.
Gas prices are lower than electricity prices and if you use one more than the other you could benefit by switching to low usage tariffs. Use the Gas Hub website to find out more about gas prices and how to save money.
Water rates are set by city councils and can also vary enormously. In some areas the water is metered and charged for separately and in rented accommodation you mainly only pay for what you use.
Housing rates are also set by city councils according to the rating value of your property (rented properties include rates) and according to a government website, the average weekly spend on rates in 2011 was NZ$39.00.
This website offers a great tool to give you an idea of the cost comparisons of many different goods/services/utilities.
Gas prices are relatively low with diesel being the cheapest form of fuel, which is worth bearing in mind should you be looking to buy a car in New Zealand. You can get an accurate indication of fuel prices with the government Fuel Saver website.
Prices of electrical items which are imported tend to be higher but, on average, clothing and other household items are largely inexpensive. The Warehouse can give you a very good indication of general prices for almost everything you might need, from clothing to televisions.
Immigration New Zealand has a good guide to the cost of living in New Zealand with many useful and up to date links.

So, the other day my mom brought me flowers as a late birthday present. A beautiful red rose bouquet. I don't receive flowers very often, I think I could probably count on one (ok, maybe two) hands all the times when I ever received flowers and who gave them to me. (my mom yet again being a number one here) So as most of the people in similar situation (I imagine), I was completely unprepared since I do not own a single vase.
– I am not a big fan of cleaning my apartment (I like it clean, I just have to find motivation to do it every time), but I like having my friends or family over, so it becomes my motivation. In order to have people over, planned or unplanned, my flat has to be people friendly. When it is, I tend to get spontaneous guests more often.
– Being prepared for the job you want. I want to work more on bigger Hollywood film productions, so I purchased ScriptE (which is script supervising software popular in aforementioned projects) and I started learning it. So I prepare myself for the time they do come my way and I can apply.
– Putting yourself out there. In order to meet new people or experience new things you have to visit places you haven't been to before and talk to people you haven't talked to before. It is pretty straight forward, but so easily overlooked as we automatically think that we have seen and done it all. I want to be in a bikini on a beach doing yoga with my feet in a sand this winter. So I try and practice yoga at home.
– Learning how to receive and accept. It's obvious that if someone does something nice to you, you say thank you or someway else show your gratitude. So what about being thankful in advance? If I know that my sister is going to drop by the shop and pick up a cake for our mom, which I cannot do because I am busy at work, I am thanking her in advance for doing it, even though it is not done yet. There are examples in life when if you are not being grateful in advance you might not get the cake, (in my case, I am sure my sister would have gotten the cake regardless of me being grateful or not, because it was for our mom), but no one is obligated to do anything for you, they do it because they are nice and you should be grateful.
All in all, get yourself a vase if you want to be getting flowers.
Cheers with an elephant in a glass!

Although Southern Accents is an architectural antique and salvage company, we are also a team of artists, creators, designers, visionaries, builders and collaborators. As such, we revel in an opportunity to meet and collaborate with fellow creatives. One recent meeting was with an impressive artist originally from Florence, Alabama; Matthew Mayes.
Matthew is a self taught artist with 12 years experience in the professional art field. Matthew began his artistic adventure as a child watching the "Joy Of Painting" with Bob Ross. Having experienced many stints in the hospital and schooling at home because of illness, Matthew needed an outlet for his creativity. He credits art as filling this need in his life.
A gift it is! Matthew's artwork is inspirational. Southern Accents is currently housing one of Matthew's works of art titled "A Sense Of Peace". This 30″ x 80″ work, which is available for purchase, can be viewed in our showroom in downtown Cullman. Matthew's artwork is also on display now through September 4th at the Birmingham Public Library. Visit the central library's 4th floor gallery to view works from his "Layers of Meaning" collection.
Visit Matthew online at matthewmayes.net to view as well as purchase his beautiful artwork. Matthew is also available for commissioned works.
Sloss Music & Arts Festival – Tent Transformation!
The Southern Accents Team was hard at work last week in preparation for our latest BIG adventure! Garden & Gun Magazine contacted Mason & Dixon and SA and asked us to design/build an Artist Lounge and portrait studio for last weekend's Sloss Music & Arts Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. We worked to transform a large event tent into a very cool, yet functional, relaxing lounge for the artists. With each new project our goal is to turn our creativity up a notch. We did a little research and came up with something unique for this festival!
Shou-sugi-ban is a Japanese term that means "burnt cedar board." The term is commonly used to describe a centuries old Japanese technique of charring wood planks for use as siding. While this method of wood treatment was originally used to make the wood less susceptible to rotting and insects, today it is more often used for aesthetic purposes. We thought the charred wood would pair perfectly with our painted white, 10 foot tall salvaged Gothic windows, vintage fireplace mantels and decorative 10 foot tall copper mirror. The lounge, which was equipped with charging stations, had an "old southern church" feel to it. The interior of the tent housed our salvaged wood farm tables and two large bars reminiscent of the ones that once graced the old general stores.
In addition to the artist lounge, Southern Accents constructed a faux studio for Garden & Gun, which was used for artist photography sessions throughout the event. A Vanity Fair photographer was on site to capture candid shots as well.
The two day festival at the historic Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, Alabama, featured three music stages and included an incredible lineup of over 30 bands and musical artists including The Avett Brothers, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, St. Paul & The Broken Bones and many more. Attendees enjoyed Nick 'N Friends BBQ Experience, Iron Pouring, API Poster Show, Piggly Wiggly Craftly Beerly Tent, Regional Art and Food Vendors and more.
We hope you were following our social media accounts for updates throughout the weekend! Here's a few pictures that show the incredible tent transformation!
This picture shows a before and after shot of the large event tent. The after picture was taken late Friday. A few finishing touches were added the next morning to the air conditioned tent and the lounge was ready to host all the guest artists, providing a welcome refuge from the summer heat!
Southern Accents was honored to have been given the opportunity to design/build the artist lounge for Garden and Gun.
The salvaged wood walls completely disguised and transformed the white event tent, turning it into an inviting living area.
The white cathedral windows looked incredible set against the black charred wood walls. Zippers in the side panels of the tent allowed us to let in some natural light through the windows but still keep the tent cool via use of a large air conditioner.
We would like to thank everyone who was involved with this project: Mason Dixon, Garden & Gun Magazine, Ivory Exchange Rentals, Mary Clayton Carl, Cullman Sign and Banner, Red Mountain Entertainment, Shin Dig Catering, JAH Woodworks, Pepper Place Pop Up, Lisa Jones Photography, Sully Sullivan, and the incredible, amazing, talented, hard working, Southern Accents Team!! It takes a village!! There were many throughout the week who stepped in to lend a hand. If we have failed to mention you specifically, please accept our apologies but know that no act went unnoticed! THANK YOU!!
Last week, Southern Accents delivered a huge salvaged steel fire door to Birmingham, Alabama. This particular door will be used in a new restaurant preparing to open in the Pepper Place Market. Pocket, or sliding doors, have become extremely popular for both residential and commercial use. While one typically thinks of pocket doors being used for pantries or bathrooms, "exterior" sliding doors, or barn doors, provide a great solution for covering almost any existing opening. Not only do these doors provide a practical option, but they can become an integral part of a rooms decor.
Many of our customers, when looking for a pocket or sliding door, are surprised when we tell them that many regular doors can be used as a sliding door. The only difference in a sliding door and regular swinging door is a simple change in hardware. When looking for a suitable door you need to make sure that one side of the door will slide flush against the wall. The door also needs to be at least 2 inches wider on each side and 3 to 4 inches taller than the opening to ensure that it is fully covered and will not show any daylight creeping out the edges.
This metal fire door, originally from Chicago, was purchased from Southern Accents and is one of many sliding doors used in the renovation of this house in Horton, Alabama.
While we do occasionally have salvaged tracks available for the sliding doors, we recommend purchasing the tracks from a hardware store. Locally, the slider tracks can be purchased from Tractor Supply. You can also purchase the tracks, also referred to as barn door hardware, online from companies like Rustica Hardware.
When searching for the perfect sliding door, one other option to consider is a custom made door. Our in house wood shop allows us the ability to custom make your door to any size specification! Choose your wood from our showroom of salvaged and reclaimed wood. We can even assist you with the design of your new door. Stop by our showroom or give us a call at 877 737-0554 and request an appointment with Garlan or Ben and let us help you design your new door!
This salvaged door from Southern Accents was converted to a sliding door and installed in a bedroom.
Visit Southern Accents and you will find that we have over 45,000 square feet filled with architectural antiques and salvaged goods ready and waiting for a new home. Scattered among the many treasures that are available for purchase are a few that we've kept for ourselves. These items are near and dear to our heart, none more so than our giant American flag. The flag, which measures 8′ x 12′, hangs above our large staircase and is one of the first things you will see when entering our showroom.
We our proud of our heritage and proudly display our American flag. It is a daily, visible reminder for us of the many freedoms that we enjoy. It is also a reminder of the many sacrifices that have been made. This weekend we will be celebrating those freedoms. As we gather with family and friends, we will stop and give thanks for the many ways we have been blessed. We will also remember those who have given their all over the past 239 years to ensure the freedoms that we continue to enjoy.
We hope that everyone had a Happy Independence Day! God bless America!

Understanding Incitement To Racial Hatred In UKip
Understanding the behaviour likely to cause Incitement To Racial Hatred In UKip as presented due to the ignorance & bronze age superstitions of Gerard Batten & the evils of Zionism & racial hatred of Malcolm Lord Pearson.
superstitions & the ignorance of the bronze age has no place in the governance of man as shown and proven by the evil racism of Gerard Batten
where like Malcolm Pearson he makes comments likely to encourage racial hatred.
I understand that there is now an inquiry into the corruption, dishonesty and collusion to pervert the course of justice which now, due to the intervention of the head of the Metropolitan Police, is being carried out by the Professional Standards Department as it is alleged Gerard Batten has acted in abuse of his position to corrupt together with named police officers.
Gerard Batten's apparent racism likely to incite racial hatred must surely be a part of this case – as was Lord Pearson's in a double page spread in the media some time ago!
Sam Solomon, Christian Concern and Gerard Batten by Steven Rose
A few months ago, the "proposed charter of Muslim understanding" resurfaced. UKIP MEP, Gerard Batten, had commissioned it in 2006.
Batten recently told the Guardian that he could not see why "any reasonable, normal person" would object to signing it. The document proposes that British Muslims sign a declaration against violence. In a speech delivered to the House of Lords in 2007, Batten stated:
"The Proposed Charter has now been very slightly revised with one major change, to which I draw your attention, of the insertion of an Affirmation on page 29 that asks individuals, groups and organisations that represent Muslims to affirm their belief in certain basic values, these are: The equality of all before God and the law; equal rights for women; the rejection of intimidation and violence in the name of religion; religious freedom – specifically the right of Muslims to convert to other religions if they wish; and the tolerance of other religions and non discrimination against non-Muslims."
Ukip maintain that asking Muslims to sign this 'code of conduct' had never been one of its policies. Yet, in 2007, the party website published a press release to promote Batten's House of Lords event.
Another noteworthy quote from Batten's speech:
"In 2006 I commissioned Sam Solomon to write an analysis of those Islamic texts that can be used by extremist Muslims to justify terrorism. That analysis developed into the Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding, which was initially launched in Strasbourg in December 2006. It got little coverage in the UK but did get extensive coverage elsewhere, particularly in the USA."
The story did find an audience in the United States. In 2006, articles appeared on Jihad Watch and WND. Conservative-leaning media also covered the story, as did several smaller newspapers.
Some years later, Republican politician Rick Womick made explicit reference to it:
"Show us that Islam is not at war with America by requiring that a Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding be signed by those who profess a peaceful Muslim faith before entering the U.S. military"
Yet, few focus upon the charter's author, Sam Solomon. Various sources state that he is a former Islamic jurist who fled to the UK after converting to Christianity.
In the past decade, Solomon established links with Christian Concern. The organisation opposes same-sex marriage and abortion.
In 2004, Sam Solomon worked with Andrea Williams, co-founder of Christian Concern, against the Religious Hatred Bill. At a 2008 conference, Andrea Williams confirmed that Solomon influenced her understanding of Islam. One year later, Christian Concern linked readers to a free PDF of the Muslim Charter. (Christian Concern founder, Andrea Williams, according to the Independent newspaper, angered gay rights campaigners after giving a speech in Jamaica and reportedy suggesting that the Olympic athlete – Tom Daley – is in a relationship with a man because his father died.)
Around that time, Solomon and Ukip's Lord Pearson attended the International Legal Conference on Freedom of Speech and Religion. Other guests included Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. Interestingly, both Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer have been banned from entering the United Kingdom by the Home Secretary of Her Majesty's Government.
In May of 2011, Solomon spoke at the Geert Wilders "A Warning to America" event at Cornerstone Church in Nashville. The Tennessee Freedom Coalition (who supported EDL-founder Tommy Robinson) sponsored the event. But it did not deter Solomon or Williams from attending one of their events several months later.
Towards the end of that year, the same Nashville church hosted an event about the 'threat' of Sharia. One notable guest was Paul Diamond, of Christian Concern, who stated that his organisation might work with the Tennessee Freedom Coalition.
Paul Diamond also has links to Gerard Batten, as he defended Batten's wife over an alleged unpaid television licence fee in 2010. A year later, Batten sent Christian Concern a document that suggested a ban on religious slaughter.
Christian Concern maintains a working relationship with Sam Solomon. But any connection to the Tennessee Freedom Coalition remains tenuous.
Of the seven books listed in Christian Concern's online store, six are about Islam. Sam Solomon authored five (including the Muslim Charter). (A You Tube transcript of Andrea Williams on Halal labeling and foods is listed below and can be found through this link:
Because actually it's a sign of a society subjugating herself to Islam, to the rules of Islam, and it's been done very subtly. It's extraordinary isn't it, that we, in the United Kingdom, now in a chain of pizza restaurants are unable to have meat that's non Halal. That's an incredible situation to find ourselves in. In our banks, we've got Sharia compliant financing – a dual system, we've got the law society saying that wills should be made compliant to Sharia rules. We've got the reality that Sharia courts are operating, and what I say to that is this: there's a dual system of law; Sharia law and English law, and although English law may not yet absolutely recognize Sharia law, or says that it doesn't recognize law, once operational it's going to be very hard to challenge it. We need to boycott those food outlets, so we need to write to Pizza Express, we need to write to the executive body there and say we will not frequent your restaurants. We need to write to our supermarkets and we need to say we won't buy your meat. Or we need to say you need to clearly label your meat, we need to be given choice. We actually need to find our voice, otherwise we are just handing ourselves over to what the Muslims will see in a sense as being subjugated. It's political subjugation. That's what we're currently – it's very subtle – we've got Halal meat only in hospitals, we've got Halal meat only in schools – in certain hospitals and certain schools – Halal meat in certain areas of London, Halal meat in certain areas of the United Kingdom, and we – the people of Great Britain – think that that's not real, but it is real. And we need to wake up and understand that that's what we're being served, and understand that it is a form of ideological take over.

Superstition in UKIP Seemingly Overspills as Hatred!
The Evils of Superstition posing as Christians in UKIP Seemingly Overspills as Hatred exposed,
This is akin to the vile publications of Gerard Batten which seemingly incite racial hatred!
& UKIP dares to pretend it is not racist to its very foundations!
Consider Nigel Farage's CHOSEN allies in his vile extremist EFD Group in the EU!
Exclusive: UKIP leaflet accuses Westminster politicians of English genocide
1st May 2014, 1:07 PM
Scott Roberts
One of the leaflets spelt English as 'Englsih'
PinkNews can exclusively reveal that extremist leaflets from a Christian UKIP group were handed out at the party's spring conference in March.
The leaflets were produced by "Christian Soldiers UKIP" which is the "Christian Fellowship of UKIP".
It suggests that social conservative UKIP Christians are seeking to raise their influence in the party.
The group says: "UKIP will support traditional marriage rather than gay marriage" – indicating that the Christian Fellowship of UKIP are unlikely to be among the 54% of surveyed UKIP would-be voters who last month said they supported same-sex marriage.
In March, UKIP leader Nigel Farage said equal marriage meant "opening up a very big can of worms" – whilst refusing to confirm whether he supported the principle of the reform for England and Wales.
His equivocation came after an apparent breakdown in internal communication regarding the party's position for a PinkNews Q&A.
Other aims stated by the Christian Fellowship of UKIP include making sure "that the English people have their own Englsih [sic] Parliament – England will become an equal member of a renewed, democratic and prosperous United Kingdom and Constitutional Monarchy."
One of the leaflets states: "Today we are witnessing a deliberate attempt by politicians to carry out a deliberate process of secularisation and ethnocide [genocide] of the English people and our ancient Christian nation, England.
"They are doing this because England is the powerhouse. The bulwark which stands in defence of the ancient, Christian realm of the United Kingdom.
"Before we joined the European Union, England was a land with a monocultural society rooted in Christianity – freedom, democracy.
"Respect for the rule of law and patriotism were fundamental principles for which our English ancestors fought and died.
"Despite their false reassurances and deceptive denials, Labour, Conservative, Lib Dems and the European Union mean to do away with England, her ancient history, traditions and culture and make us a region of the secular, satanic new fourth European Reich, the EU."
The leaflet goes on to say: "UKIP are the only main political party that will protect and defend England, and all that the English people have come to love, hold dear and have died defending."
One of the leaflets features a previous quote from UKIP leader Nigel Farage who says: "The United Kingdom Independence Party are happy to be seen as a standard bearer in the defence of our Judeo-Christian Heritage".
Another leaflet is entitled "UKIP will defend our Christian homeland England" and includes a quote from UKIP Deputy Leader Paul Nuttel MEP.
He says: "The Christian identity is under threat from every angle. UKIP are the only party that now support and will protect the fundamental rights of Christians.
"UKIP will speak out again the attack on our Christian heritage that has developed in this land for nearly 2000 years."
The leaflet then lists the following aims:-
"UKIP will support traditional marriage rather than gay marriage."
"UKIP will take Britain our [sic] of the secular EU and end uncontrolled immigration by taking back total control of our borders."
"UKIP will bring an end to political correctness – which is used as a weapon by pro-EU and degenerate politicians to attack English patriotism and our God given freedoms, free speech and our Christian faiths and beliefs."
"UKIP will see that the English people have their own Englsih [sic] Parliament – England will become an equal member of a renewed, democratic and prosperous United Kingdom and Constitutional Monarchy."
"UKIP will stop the HS2 high speed rail link and protect our green and pleasant land."
"UKIP will make St George's Day a national holiday of celebration in England – the English people will once again be able to take pride in raising St George's flag and celebrating everything that is England and English."
"UKIP will end flawed, divisive multiculturalism."
"Under a UKIP government Christians will be free to preach and practice."
PinkNews has approached UKIP for comment.

Then I suppose you have the Arduino connected with a USB cable to a PC running the Arduino development environment.
I tried RFControl sniffer to see if some signals can be discovered. RFControl outputs pulse timing if the same code is received twice.
The ASM30 sensor sends data every 30 seconds, corresponding to the time when the LED is flashing. And RFControl detects some data exactly at the same time!
My asumption was a short pulse was a separator, a medium pulse was a "0" bit and a long pulse a "1" bit. So I tried to decode bytes knowing the expected temperature which is displayed on the sensor itself: so easy, the 3rd byte is the temperature x10 simply encoded in decimal.
2 next bits are the channel you can choose on the sensor itself: 1, 2 or 3. This is to be able to know the source of the temperature when you have several sensors.
The following sketch reads the temperature and outputs to the serial line in JSON format. In this sketch, I use RFControl library as is, so it is not very optimized for my needs. However, for now it works and it is enough!
Add temperature sensor in Domoticz using a respberry pi.

Q: How to hide datasource passwords in in Tomcat JMX Beans Tomcat exposes a good wealth of information about its internals via JMX. You can see data source, connector usage, thread pools, you name it.
However, it also exposes the password of the JDBC datasource (Catalina->DataSource->javax.sql.DataSource->...). Is there any way to hide this information from being published ?
We've found a way to manage the exposed JMX information via modifying the mbeans-descriptors.xml files contained within the jar files of the Tomcat distribution, however, we're looking for a way to do this without modifying the distribution.
So, how can we hide the password field of a JDBC connection in Tomcat exposed JMX beans ?
Regards,
Bulent Erdemir

A: Just restrict access at JMX level to ones who are authorized.

A: we use encrypted passwords.
the password is "there" but unusable for casual users.

Welcome to another great issue of The Best You. Packed with great content, featured interviews and articles to help you become the best you can be. As the air gets cooler and the days gets shorter, we are working around the clock to make each issue of The Best You better than the last. We'd love to hear how you think we are doing, so if you have any comments, criticisms or compliments, don't be shy.
It seems like he has just popped up out of nowhere and taken the screen and stage (and a fair amount of hearts) by storm, but this interview with Benedict Cumberbatch shows that it's actually been a slow burn. He has been acting in classics on the stage since high school, and has recently made his mark on the small screen with Sherlock and the big screen with Star Trek Into Darkness. And we can assure you, this man is no one-trick pony. We also feature an interview with Carol West, who along with her husband Andrew, founded the Obsidian Retreat. As recently as 2008, they were both living very unhealthy lives, but they changed it all around and have never felt better.
The calendar might be telling you that it's November, but a men's health campaign that has taken the world by storm calls it by a different name. Movember is a time for letting those facial tresses grow out to raise awareness for men's health issues. So be a bro and grow that mo.
We are also continuing our 'What does it take..?' column, and this month we chat to renowned journalist, Lester Kiewit about his challenging career in the world of broadcast journalism. And since it's World Diabetes Day this month, Libby Dowling from Diabetes UK chats with us about how to reduce your chances of developing Type 2 Diabetes.
Have you joined the online dating revolution? Apparently 40 per cent of new couples meet online these days, but there are those who believe that it's killing the romance and spontaneity of 'real world' love. We chat to a few people about their feelings towards this recent phenomenon. And to round off this issue, associate editor Bryan Szabo looks at some great gadgets that will smarten up your home.
All contributors include: Anne Jirsch, Robin Sharma, Jim Aitkins, Lester Kiewit, Libby Dowling, Lisa Turner, Rhiannon Lambert, Steve Bolton, Garret B. Gunderson and Bryan Szabo.

About GK PGE
Zmień na język polski
PGE is Poland's Second Largest Company
The PGE Capital Group is in second position in the prestigious ranking of "Poland's 500 largest companies in 2009". The twelfth edition of the ranking has been prepared by the Rzeczpospolita daily.
Rzeczpospolita's 500 List is a regularly prepared ranking of Poland's business enterprises leading with respect to capitalisation and revenues. A condition for classification in the List was the achievement of very good financial results in 2009. The promotion of PGE Capital Group from fourth place in 2008 to second place last year shows that despite the economic slowdown and the lower level of industrial production, the year 2009 was successful for PGE.
- PGE has proved that even in a period of economic difficulties it is possible for businesses to continue their stable development. Our debut on the stock exchange and very good financial results for the year 2009 confirm that PGE is a strong and well managed company, said Mr Tomasz Zadroga, Management Board President of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A.
- Right now we are in the process of implementing an ambitious investment plan and Poland's largest consolidation programme within the Capital Group. We have an opportunity to become one of the leaders of the power generation market in our part of Europe, added Mr Zadroga.
The results of the ranking will be announced and the representatives of Poland's largest companies will receive occasional diplomas during a ceremony to be held in Warsaw on 28 April this year.

Bill amending prohibitive liquor licensing law goes to governor's desk
Joe Barnas
/ Jobs + Growth
by Joe Barnas
The measure would relax statewide restrictions on liquor licensure and encourage local control.
Members of the Illinois General Assembly voted May 30 to repeal an outdated regulation included in the state's 84-year old liquor law.
Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 2436 with a unanimous vote in the Senate and strong bipartisan support in the House. The bill will now advance to Gov. Bruce Rauner's desk.
The bill would relax a statewide restriction that bars certain businesses from attaining liquor licensure. SB 2436 would increase economic freedom by making decisions concerning liquor licensure a matter of local control.
Passed after the ratification of the 21st Amendment, the Liquor Control Act of 1934 ushered in a burdensome regulatory system that still governs the production, distribution and sale of alcohol in Illinois. The act prohibits the issuance of liquor licenses to retail businesses that are located within 100 feet of places such as churches, schools and hospitals. The only way for businesses to avoid this restriction is through the passage of a bill in the General Assembly specifically granting them an exemption, followed by the governor's signature. This system has allowed Springfield to pick winners and losers, providing an advantage to politically connected businesses that can afford to go through the process.
In January, Rauner vetoed a bill that would have granted an exemption to a single Chicago business. In a letter to the General Assembly, Rauner vowed to veto any future carveouts, but urged legislators to instead pass reform that places these decisions into the hands of local leaders. Although lawmakers overrode the governor's veto, SB 2436 would deliver that reform.
Spearheaded by the Small Business Advocacy Council, SB 2436 would amend the Liquor Control Act by giving local liquor commissioners the authority to exempt businesses in their communities from the state's blanket ban.
Illinois is no stranger to burdensome restrictions imposed on the alcohol industry, many of which stifle competition between businesses while straining the pockets of consumers. Due to the state's high alcohol taxes, store owners in border towns have seen Illinoisans opt for the other side of the border in making their liquor purchases. According to at least one estimate, Illinois could be losing between $15 million and $30 million per year in cross-border alcohol sales.
Lawmakers should build on the momentum of SB 2436 and continue to target antiquated restrictions on small businesses.
