Published Books & Articles
Unpublished Manuscripts & Correspondence
The Mind of Watergate, 1980
Rangell explored the public pathology, which he termed "the Nixon syndrome," that he saw as leading to corruption and the loss of integrity.
My Life in Theory, 2004
In this summary work, Dr. Rangell fuses the many fragmented theoretical divisions of his field into a unitary theory of psychoanalysis.
The Road to Unity in Psychoanalytic Theory, 2006
Rangell developed a composite theory of psychoanalysis, uniting the fragmented schools of thought and addressing the controversies.

Similarities and Differences between Psychoanalysis and Dynamic Psychotherapy
One of Rangell's earliest and most cited articles from the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, October 1954.
The Nature of Conversion
Rangell's most cited paper is this essay on conversion, which appeared in the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association in October, 1959.
The Scope of Intrapsychic Conflict: Microscopic and Macroscopic Considerations
Based on a talk on "The Significance of Intrapsychic Conflict," presented at the fall meeting of the American Psychoanalytic Association, December 8, 1962. Published in the 1963 volume of the Psychoanalytic Study of the Child.
On Friendship
"For life's bright and dark periods are determined, in the long run, not from the height of the intense love peaks but from the level of the baseline, the likes rather than the loves."
The Future of Psychoanalysis: The Scientific Crossroads
Rangell contemplates the future of his field.
"The Watergate complex" is more than a group of apartment buildings in Washington. It is a complex, I suggest, in the mind of man. "The Watergate" with its ramifications is as much a complex as "the Oedipus." From each complex, mechanisms can be seen undiluted which can then be understood in more attenuated and disguised forms. It is no coincidence that in the wake of Watergate not one or a few men, but our entire country and our times are being called sick. What is meant by "sick" is obscure and disturbing...It refers to a problem of living with accepted values, of maintaining integrity, not in a lofty but in a common sense.

Sodium valproate and pregnancy: Support for parents and carers
node leader
Some anti-epileptic drugs are known to have potentially harmful effects on an unborn baby – particularly the medicine sodium valproate.
Due to on-going concerns from recent evidence that women are still not being informed of the risks of taking sodium valproate whilst pregnant, the Medicines for Children team have developed an additional information leaflet. The information is specifically designed to offer support to the parents and carers of daughters who have been prescribed sodium valproate, available to download here: Information for parents and carers on sodium valproate and pregnancy [PDF]
This new information leaflet addresses a need for tailored information for parents and carers to aid a conversation with girls / young women in their care who are taking sodium valproate, to help them to understand why it is vital to use contraception if having sex. It may be difficult for parents and carers to have conversations about sexual activity and contraception with their daughter; however, it is important that she understands the risks, so that she can make informed decisions.
Key facts concerning sodium valproate and the risks in pregnancy
Sodium valproate is a highly effective medicine used for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar disorder and to prevent migraine headaches
However, sodium valproate can cause physical harm to a developing baby or developmental problems after birth
Babies born to mothers who take valproate medicines (Epilim and Depakote) during pregnancy have a 30–40% risk of developmental disability and a 10% risk of birth defects.
Due to these risks, it is vital that contraception is used if having sex to prevent pregnancy.
Anyone who is taking sodium valproate should discuss contraception with their doctor, epilepsy team, or family planning services, and ensure that the medical staff are aware that they are taking sodium valproate.
If there is any chance that the person taking sodium valproate might be pregnant, they should contact their doctor, nurse or a member of their epilepsy team straightaway for advice and support. Continue to take the medicine in the meantime.
Do not stop taking sodium valproate, as the person may have more seizures.
Sodium valproate is also known as valproate or valproic acid and by the brand names Convulex®, Epilim®, Epilim Chrono®, Epilim Chronosphere®, Episenta®, Epival® and Orlept®.
Resources available on Medicines for Children
Medicines for Children provides three patient information leaflets on sodium valproate. These are tailored to parents / carers, young people and their families, and are also suitable for health care professionals to direct their patients to:
• Advice for parents and carers on how to give sodium valproate: www.medicinesforchildren.org.uk/sodium-valproate-preventing-seizures

Food people are a very giving people, but every once in a blue moon we're delivered a gift that is too good to share. A gift that turns us into Gollum-like beasts, cowering over a pint of ice cream and whispering, "My precioussss." This time, the treasure is Ben & Jerry's latest flavor, Two Wild & Crazy Pies.
The latest in a series of "Saturday Night Live"-inspired batches, this flavor is named after the 1977 skit "Two Wild & Crazy Guys," starring Steve Martin and Dan Aykroyd. Ben & Jerry's describes this heavenly concoction as a combination of coconut cream pie ice cream, chocolate cream pie ice cream, and a scrumptious chocolate cookie swirl.
But don't get too excited -- it's only available at Scoop Shops for a limited time starting September 24, and will likely never see the frozen foods aisle at your local grocer. If it weren't for this tragic fact, we might go so far as to say that this could be Ben & Jerry's most popular flavor ever.
Two Wild & Crazy Pies is the third of four unique "SNL"-themed Ben & Jerry's flavors to appear in Scoop Shops. June of 2014 saw the release of Lazy Sunday and Gilly's Catastrophic Crunch, both based on recent sketches. The newest flavor takes a bit of a vintage turn, and the fourth flavor's theme is still up in the air, as it's set to debut in early 2015.
"While our first two 'SNL' flavors were inspired by more recent characters and sketches, we didn't forget the classic from the earlier decades," said Scoop Shop Brand Manager Alison Gilbert in a press release. "We were torn between this and the Bass-o-Matic, so it was obvious which lent itself to a better flavor."

Landscape photography finds new expressions in André Wagner's debut-work "Authentic Nature". More specifically, it is self-creative. Firstly it arises from the repertoire of painting. What is real? Is it manipulated, digitally fine-tuned, or painted over? Authentic Nature. Where does it come from? This scenery, this believable-unbelievable aesthetic. Almost too much of a fairy-tale to be true, but without insulting the vision with kitsch. The style changes from the soft tones of pastel brush-strokes to a graffiti made of fire and light. Here again the elements create new impressions in the landscape. This time they are less fairy-tale-like, infusing them with mystical expression. Where does photography begin, where does it end, what is its due earning?
Fire, wind, water and earth seem to have asserted themselves on their own. André Wagner's signature is clearly to be recognized, yet it withdraws into the background to offer space to the. Finally it steps back into the silence of the forest where everything lies peacefully but with great strength. Authentic Nature.

Roberta Flack does ballads, leaves the trends to the less fortunate
BY THOMAS CONNER
© Tulsa World
Back-to-back Grammy award-winner Roberta Flack was on
the phone with us a few hours before the annual Grammys
ceremony last month. She wasn't attending — the call came
from her home in Barbados — and she wasn't even sure she
would watch the show.
"I'm not sure I can get it down here," Flack said, "and I
couldn't sit down that long even when I was going to those
shows."
Grammys may be old hat for Flack; however, even
when she doesn't attend, her presence often still permeates
the glittering music halls. This year, for instance, the
golden child of the evening was hip-hop artist Lauryn Hill --
once leader of the Fugees, a band that just two years ago
launched its formidable career by covering one of Flack's
signature early '70s hits, "Killing Me Softly With His
Song."
Flack herself has a unique place in Grammy history. In
1972, she took home trophies for Record of the Year and
Song of the Year for her recording of Ewan MacColl's "The
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." She also shared a trophy
for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group that year with
Donny Hathaway for the duet "Where Is the Love." That alone
was a nice haul, but the very next year Flack returned to
collect three more statuettes for "Killing Me Softly" — an
unheard-of one-two punch.
Then what happened? Well, therein lies the rub, as well
as what makes a musical artist distinct. The pop scene
changed — the fans' love of story songs in the early '70s
gave way to mindless disco beats — and Flack refused to blow
with the prevailing winds. She remains an unmistakable
talent at this point in her three-decade career precisely
because she didn't try to become a disco queen (a la Patti
Labelle) or a private dancer (a la Tina Turner). Flack was,
is and forever will be a balladeer.
That's not to say she hasn't dabbled. Her last album,
1995's "Roberta," opened with a kind of rap, and she's
tinkered with jazz singing, but Flack endures as a vocalist
who lures the simple, shining joy out of a ballad, from
those first two smash hits to her chart-topping duet with
Peabo Bryson, "Tonight I Celebrate My Love." She sings songs
that tell tales — timeless ones.
"I got started at the time people were really into songs
that told stories," Flack said in our conversation. "That was
a really good time, the early '70s. Even rock 'n' roll
artists, country and R&B artists — and this is when those
divisions were really clear — they were all trying to do
music that told stories. It wasn't necessarily a
once-upon-a-time story, but something people could connect
to, some personal experience they'd been through. The
exciting part about being a musician is recognizing that
when you're on stage, when someone connects with what
you're singing about, and you just watch them change.
"But everything has its season, and things changed.
Except me. The disco thing was next, and I'm not stupid
enough to hang in with that. I'm perfectly satisfied to
sing a beautiful ballad." The process of choosing
ballads sometimes is subject to whim or instinct. Flack
said she looks for ineffable concepts like "gorgeousness,
effect, meaning" in a song before she tackles it, with an
emphasis on that last one: meaning.
"I have to think that somebody other than me is going to
understand it," she said. "I don't want to sing and entertain
myself, or provide just therapy for myself. I want to be
sharing my feelings. I make sure I'm picking a song that
speaks to experiences and attitudes and moments in all of
our lives."
Still, the meaning Flack may find in a song can be,
well, unique. "Killing Me Softly" is a lyric written about
the songs of Don McLean (telescope that notion through the
Fugees' version and see what you get!), but Flack said she
sung it because it reminded her of someone close. Plus, the
face she had in mind when recording "The First Time" in 1969
was small and, well, furry.
"At the moment I recorded that, I was singing to a little
cat," Flack said. "It sounds cornball, but it's true. I'd
never had a cat before, and my manager had just given me
one. I named it Sancho. About the time I got him was when I
got the chance to go to New York and record demos for that
first album ... In those two days, I recorded between 35
and 40 songs live. (Not long after) I got back, Sancho
died. Then, three or four weeks later, when I recorded the
album, I was thinking about little Sancho, that cute little
funny-looking, scrawny cat."
In concert, Flack said she tries to gauge the
temperament of her audience and chooses songs to fit that
perceived mood. Set lists vary from night to night when
she's on the road (the Tulsa shows are special
engagements). She's been known to nix "The First Time" in
favor of, say, John Lennon's "Imagine," because "the young
kids today" might identify with Lennon more readily than her
own signature work.
Those same young kids are still driving record sales,
and Flack's perceived distance from them is why she thinks
she's without a record deal at the moment. Not that it
troubles her greatly — she's looking, but she's got time and
options, she said — but she recognizes that she's not
"A lot of us don't have deals now — those of us who sing
those story songs well. There's just not a place for us in
the scheme of things. "We're not doing hip-hop, and if
you're not doing what sells," Flack said, "you're not going
to be doing."

Should a retailer use Pinterest?
In short, yes, they should.
In the past 18 months, Pinterest has introduced several new features that make it easier for their 100 million monthly active users to find, compare, and buy products.

Q: How do I update multiple columns with their respective values in laravel? I have a database record that I would like to update base on certain conditions. This condition is: when the pay_day is reached, I want to send the user that owns that record an email and then update the pay_day column to another date in the future using the interval_day column on the users' table. interval_day is just a number selected by the user.
Below is an illustration:
$now = Carbon::now();

User::where('approved', true)
            ->where('pay_day', '<', $now)
            ->chunkById(1000, function($users){
                foreach ($users as $user) {

                    $interval = $user->interval;
                    $payDay = $now()->addDays($interval);

                    // update the user...
                    $user->update([
                        'pay_day' => $payDay,
                    ]);
                    // if the user was updated, send an email next...
                }

            });

Now, let's say I have 100 different users with different interval values. I want their respective values in their interval columns to be what would be updated to their pay_day column and NOT the same date for all 100 users.
But when I run the above query it didn't update, neither the pay_day nor send email to the respective users. When I dd($interval & $payDay) it returns nothing.
Please what am I doing wrong? I need your suggestions. Thanks for your time in advance.

A: use like this
$updates = ([
                    'pay_day' => $payDay,
                  //other columns
                ]);
$x = User::where('approved', true)
        ->where('pay_day', '<', $now)->->update($updates);
if($x){
//succeed case
}

A: Not sure if $payDay = $now()->addDays($interval); is a typo or you've actually done that in your code, but $now is a variable not a function. Additionally you need to tell the closure in your chunkById function to use $now:
\App\Models\User::where('approved', true)
    ->where('pay_day', '<', \Carbon\Carbon::today())
    ->chunkById(1000, function ($users) {
        $users->each(function ($user) {
            $success = $user->update([
                'pay_day' => \Carbon\Carbon::today()->addDays($user->interval)
            ]);
            if ($success) {
                // send email
            }
    });
});

The above finds all approved Users where their pay_day is before today then processes the results in chunks of 1000 and updates the pay_day for each of them to be today + the interval value.

Q: Get data from more than one AsyncTask in one class? My situation is this:
first I call first AsyncTask which fetched required Items from database. After that, I call another AsyncTask, which fetches these Item images.
I am getting data from AsynTasks by using callback.
Here is the issue - since I am using callback, in my class I have method processFinish which returns AsyncTask data when it finishes its computation. The problem is with two Async tasks which depend on each other. What should I do now?

A: You can use the get() method of asyncTask that will wait for the output and wont proceed further
also you can use it with a timeout.
ex   new BackgroundTask().execute.get();
or
new BackgroundTask.execute.get(long timeout);

A: You could execute one AsyncTask inside another, but you should do it inside onPostExecute() because this method runs on the UI thread.
    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void args) {
        new AsyncTask2.execute(..); // Start second task once you've got first results
    }

And you call your method processFinish(..) only once, after the second AsyncTask is completed.
Anyway, is there a reason why you use two AsyncTasks ? With your explanations we could believe that you might be able to use only one task.


Tea is a favorite beverage for many people, and as well as ideal healthy substitute to coffee. But, according to a recent research it was discovered that most of the conventional tea brands showed high level of toxicity including fluoride and pesticides thus making them unsafe for consumption.
So, whenever you are purchasing tea go for the available healthy brands, do not choose the cheap ones. In most cases, tea is not washed prior packing into bags which means that if it was treated with pesticides which is most likely they will end up into your cup of tea.
Furthermore, researchers discovered that many non-organic tea brands have in their content pesticides which are well-known carcinogens. In their ingredient list their common names are "natural flavors".
Food Research International released a study which revealed that the wide British population has significantly exceeded the recommended dietary intake for fluoride, which lead to numerous health concerns. It was discovered that as a result of tea consumption the intake of fluoride exceeded its limits. This high fluoride intake leads to bone, kidney, and teeth issues.
Fluoride is present in the soil which tea plants absorb it while growing. Because of that older tea leaves have the highest content of fluoride and are low in antioxidants. On the other hand, cheaper quality tea brands quite often use the older leaves; therefore our bodies have higher content of fluoride.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation tested several popular international tea companies, such as King Cole, Lipton, Tetley, Signal, No Name, Twinnings, and Uncle Lee's Legends of China, and showed pretty disturbing results.
No Name – contains over 10 pesticide types.
King Cole – has in its content monocrotophos which causesirregular heartbeat and coma, and soon will be banned.
Uncle Lee's Legends of China – contains over 20 types of pesticides, including endosulfan, which can harm the nervous system.
However, this does not mean that they were the only ones packed with toxins; also other tea brands were not entirely safe. As a matter of fact the only tea brand without pesticides was Red Rose.
These disturbing findings are not meant to stop drinking tea, but to be more aware of which brands you are consuming and to turn to white tea made of young leaves which are with lowest content of fluoride.
Drink you tea and gain all its benefits, but always choose organic, loose leaf tea, or brew your own at home.
Do not neglect the ingredient list, check if the tea contains GMO ingredients or added flavors, and in that case do not buy it. When ordering tea in a restaurant pay attention to the brand as most of them serve tea brands rich in pesticides.
Steep oolong teas 4-7 minutes.

Teams can still improve 'frozen' cars for 2021
Jun.18 - There is "enough scope" in the new corona-era car development freeze for uncompetitive teams to improve their single seaters for 2021.
That is the claim of Racing Point technical boss Andy Green, referring to the fact that teams must also use their 2020 cars in 2021 to keep costs down.
"A bad car in 2020 will not automatically be a bad car in 2021," he told Auto Motor und Sport.
"We still have enough room to manoeuvre to pull our heads out of the noose."
For instance, he said the FIA will give permission to fix reliability problems, while aerodynamic development is still open and a complex 'token' system is in place for some other car changes.
"The tokens only affect chassis components, gearboxes, suspension, the fuel system, the wiring harness and so on. This prevents major interventions in the concept of the car," Green explained.
A nine-page FIA document sets out a list of components subject to the token system, with teams able to choose either one large or two small components to change for 2021.
"The rules are so complex that we are only just working out what we can and cannot do," Green said.
"The restrictions are very strict, but if you are smart and have the money, you can still develop the 2021 car, especially in our case where we buy parts of the suspension and the gearbox from another manufacturer," he added.
"We can modify these parts, because we are a year behind," said Green, referring to the fact that Racing Point's 2020 car features a range of 2019-spec Mercedes parts.

Nun pleads for Christians raped, sold, killed by ISIS
Refugees live 'like animals' in camps
By Leo Hohmann
Published December 23, 2014 at 8:13pm
Sister Hatune Dogan visits a slum city in India.
It is the season of "peace on Earth," but Sister Hatune Dogan has a chill in her spirit that could only be felt in a time of war.
The Orthodox Christian nun feels it with each new atrocity committed against the Yazidi and Christian minorities of Syria and Iraq. She feels it in the church burnings across Egypt and the slaughter of innocent children in Pakistan.
For this reason she brought a word of warning to Americans in a visit last week to Minnesota, where she spoke to several church groups.
Today's political climate draws her back to 1915 and her native Turkey, when her family experienced the cruelty of the Ottoman caliphate, which slaughtered 3 million Christians and reduced others to second-class status under subjugation, or "dhimmitude."
ISIS is nothing new, she said, just the re-emergence of Islam's dark side.
"ISIS is not fanatic. ISIS is not more terrible. ISIS is real Muslim believers who like to follow the Quran and Muhammad," said the founder of Warburg, Germany-based Sister Hatune Foundation, a worldwide relief organization that has been honored by the German government for its dedication to human rights.
"Others say they are Muslim. They say they believe Quran, but they don't follow it," she said.
Armenian Christians accounted for about half of the 3 million who lost their lives in Turkey, but the other half were Christians of various ethnic backgrounds – Greek Orthodox, Syrian Orthodox and Protestants. All felt the boot of jihad against their heads.
Sister Hatune arrived last Thursday at the Atlanta airport for a stopover on her way back to Germany. She was dressed in traditional black garments and a habit covering her hair. She wore a simple wooden crucifix around her neck and carried with her a well-worn copy of the Quran, which has become her constant companion wherever she goes to teach about the current situation in the Middle East.
She believes Christians in the West should learn what is written in the Muslim holy book. If they did, they would realize that the Islamic State, also called ISIS, is not doing anything that hasn't been done in the past by devout Muslims who have conquered a people they see as "infidels."
Where are all the Christians?
Sister Hatune points to the fact that 96 percent of the people who populated the Middle East at the turn of the eighth century were Christian. Now, that Christian population has dwindled to 6 percent. Turkey was once almost all Christian, but now it is 0.03 percent Christian. Iraq had 1 million Christians under Saddam Hussein, but now only a few thousand remain, and the churches of Baghdad will be mostly empty this Christmas.
"Where are these Christians? Where are these people? Just ask yourself," said the fearless nun, whose native tongue is Aramaic.
Her family initially lived in Turkey as Jews, but later her entire village converted to Christianity.
Born in 1970 the middle daughter of 10 children, Sister Hatune learned to speak 13 languages, but none make her more proud than Aramaic.
"This is the language of Jesus," she told WND.
The Sister Hatune Foundation works in 35 countries with Matthew 25:34-40 as its mission statement – feeding, clothing, sheltering and providing medical care to the poor and persecuted of the world. She has been making regular trips to the Middle East since 2005, and ISIS presents a new challenge: trying to rescue orphaned children from its clutches.
Sister Hatune returned to her home convent in Germany for only a few days before she will make another trip to the Middle East to celebrate Christmas with persecuted Christians. She was with them in November when she visited refugee camps in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. She also sneaked into Syria to meet with Christians there.
"They need your support. Without your support they can't continue," she says in avideo showing her with a group of Yazidi refugees. "They live like animals. Starving. No food. Unsanitary. No one should have to live like this."
Donate electronically to the Hatune Foundation, or send a check to Sister Hatune Foundation, Neur Weg 2, Warburg, Germany, D-34414.
It's a plight she is all too familiar with. Her question "What happened to all the Christians?" is purely rhetorical and completely personal. Her family lived through the genocide of 1915 in Turkey, the country from which her parents fled in 1985.
Her great-aunt Sarah lived through the persecution in Zaz, a small village in southeastern Turkey, in 1915.
"She was 18 years old, very beautiful. One of the Muslim men saw her and said, 'She is beautiful. She belongs to me,'" Sister Hatune said.
Sarah had four brothers, a mother and father, several cousins, aunts and uncles living in the village.
"Twelve in all, in October 1915, they killed in front of her eyes," Sister Hatune said, motioning with her hands and speaking in a thick accent. "Shot them in front of her eyes."
The operation was carried out by Islamic jihadists, both Turks and Kurds, with the blessing of the Turkish army.
"It was planned," she said.
In all, 365 members of her family's church, St. Demetrios, were murdered, representing about half of the village's population.
"First they shot them. More than half were still alive so they burned them alive in the church in 1915 in my village," she said.
Her great-grandmother had two children and was forced in 1921 to beg her Muslim masters to let her keep one of them and raise him as a Christian.
It is the same experience playing out today under ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
"The most beautiful ones they take for their wives and say 'now you have to be Muslim,'" said Sister Hatune.
The others are forced to convert or die. Many have been slaughtered in front of their parents. She has one video smuggled out of Iraq that shows three young boys, around 5 or 6 years old, being psychologically tormented by their eventual killer.
"Tell me which one should I cut first," the man asks them in Arabic.
A long butcher knife sits on a table beside him.
"Come put your head here," he says, as the boys scream in terror.
They take a step back, but the confines of the small room leave nowhere to run.
When neither boy steps forward to volunteer his neck, the man yells: "Come all of you. Come all of you!"
He grabs one of the boys. The one in the white shirt. The boy screams and the other two cry.
"Are you ISIS?" the man yells over the screaming boy. "Are you ISIS?"
"No!" the boy answers through his tears.
All three were beheaded. The nun said she received the video from a relative of the three boys.
In another video, shot in 2013, three Christian priests are shown being led out into a field with their hands bound. A Muslim man wrestles one priest to the ground and slices his head off while several hundred Muslims yell: "Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!"
Sister Hatune holds a malnourished boy in India, one of the dozens of countries in which her foundation works.
'I Believe in Action'
Drawing on her own family background, Sister Hatune has recently finished work on her 13th book, "I Believe in Action," written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Christian genocide in Turkey. In this book she compares the life of Jesus to that of Muhammad, Islam's main prophet.
"I not write from my head. All facts," she said. "Muhammad came and he brought killing, beheading, pedophilia. He slept with a 9-year-old girl, he married when she was 6 years old. We know because she says it herself in the Hadith. In Yemen today, where Shariah is the law, they have to marry the girl before her first menstruation, maximum of age 13, because it is written."
Sister Hatune thumbs through her Quran and finds another verse that she says leads Muslims to murder Christians in the Middle East.
"Twenty-five times in Quran it says to kill Christians because we are involved in polytheism," she said, explaining that Muslims do not understand the concept of the Holy Trinity. "Also it says to not make friends with Christians."
Europe is on its way to becoming the next battleground for Islam, especially Belgium and France, where Muslims make up 6 to 10 percent of the population. Sister Hatune's adopted country of Germany is at least 4 percent Muslim and has more than 4,000 mosques.
"A mosque is not just for prayer," the nun said. "It is to prepare to kill the unbeliever and control the world."
In the Quran there are 97 verses against the unbeliever.
"And there are verses against the Christians who say God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, or that Jesus is the Son of God. They have to be beheaded, the head cut off from the neck; no other interpretation. This is what the Muslims are doing. Normal Muslims, who are really Muslims, have to follow this rule," she said. "There will never be peace on Earth if these verses of the Quran are not stopped. It is in the Quran, Hadith and sunna 36,800 times, the words 'cut,' 'kill' or 'attack.' How can there be peace on Earth?"
The Quran also gives Muslim men permission to rape girls and women who are held captive as slaves (Sura 23:5-6).
In conquered cities, ISIS has marked the homes of Christians with a red symbol of the Nazarene. They are then visited by ISIS militants who bring unspeakable horrors upon the families.
Sister Hatune says it is justified under Sura 5:33 in the Quran, which states:
"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land."
Muslim apologists in the West say the verse is taken out of context by "Islamophobes," but Sister Hatune believes otherwise.
"Those of us Christians from Middle East. We know them. We know their rules," she said.
Today there are 57 Islamic countries living under Islamic law.
"Education is not allowed for the girls. The women are created for the sex for the gents," she said. "If she becomes raped she has to bring four men with her as witness. Of course it is impossible, so she will be stoned. There are so many women and girls who die from stoning."
Sister Hatune recalls going to school in Turkey as a young girl. Even though everyone in her village was Christian, no Christians were allowed to hold positions of authority under Islamic law, so all her teachers were Muslim. If the Christian children were caught going to church the teacher would beat them, usually by striking their hands with a metal rod.
She said the Turkish government confiscated all the guns from Christians before launching a violent jihad against them.
"Village by village they came and said, 'If you don't give your guns we will put you in prison for seven years,'" she said.
At the age of 14 Sister Hatune left Turkey with her parents in 1985, finding refuge in Germany. She joined a monastery there called the Sisters Serving Christ when she was 16.
"We were a rich family. They threatened my father to cut him here," she said with a tug on the lower portion of her ear. "He run away. He said this is enough. We must leave everything and go."
Watch video below of Sister Hatune relating her life story growing up under the "hard persecution" of the Turkish regime, which she said "pretends to be liberal" but is one of the world's most fanatical Muslim countries.
Theodore Shoebat, son of former Palestinian terrorist-turned Christian Walid Shoebat, described Sister Hatune in a Dec. 30, 2013 article as a modern-day Mother Theresa.
"Hatune's willingness to help the persecuted is so immense that it surpasses what anyone is doing today in the Middle East," Shoebat wrote. "She has visited 38 countries and worked in the Ministry of Charitable and Social Service in Zimbabwe, Turkey and in India. Her righteous deeds of course receive the vociferous wrath of the jihadists, in the words of Dogan, 'I get 18 death threats in seven languages.'"
A message for America
Sister Hatune came to America last week to seek donations for her ministry to the persecuted minorities of Iraq, Syria, Egypt and India. Most of these minorities are Christian but many in Iraq and Syria are of the ancient Yazidi sect. In one video Sister Hatune appears in a Yazidi refugee camp surrounded by families who have nothing but the clothes on their backs.
She came to America with a plea for help. But she also came with a message for Americans.
"America is inviting its own slaughterers to its door," she said, referring to the U.S. policy of taking in Muslim refugees through the United Nations refugee program.
WND reported Dec. 11 that the U.N. has assigned 9,000 mostly Muslim refugees from Syria for resettlement in U.S. cities and towns and the U.S. has accepted nearly 2 million from Muslim countries since 1992.
"You have already a parallel society in America," Sister Hatune said. "In 50 years they will kill your grandchildren before your eyes. The Middle East is already here. It is here. It is not far from here. It is at your door."
That's a message many churches in Minnesota were not ready to hear, said Debra Anderson, who heads a local chapter of ACT! For America and sponsored Sister Hatune's recent visit.
"She wanted to do something active. She felt faith without works was dead," Anderson said. "But it was rough trying to get her invited to speak at the churches in Minnesota. Some of it was her message. She is very critical of the Muslim governments."
One church group that invited her to speak gave her a reception that Anderson described as "cool."
They visited an order of Catholic nuns and "five or six of them walked out near the end of her presentation," she said.
"Some of the photos of human suffering she showed in her presentation; I think they were really shaken," Anderson said. "I don't know that they had ever been challenged in their way of thinking like that. But it was all facts. We told them to check out other experts.
"But I had this one nun just interrupt me and say, 'I am not going to listen to her anymore,'" Anderson said. "I had a hard time getting her into the churches. I really did."
Anderson said she put out a request for speaking venues to some 800 people on her email list representing various Christian denominations.
Only a few responded with invitations.
One of the nuns from the convent in Minnesota interrupted Sister Hatune's presentation with a specific concern.
"Sister, that's enough," she said, voicing her concern about a potential backlash against Muslims in the community if Sister Hatune's documentation were to ever get widely disseminated.
But while some were repelled by the stories of thousands of girls being raped and the images of Christians being crucified by ISIS or Muslims playing soccer with the heads of their victims, others responded by coming up afterward and asking how they could get more information and possibly get involved in helping these persecuted Christians.
"My mission is to help the suffering people where they are," Sister Hatune said. "They cannot come to me, so I go to them. One hundred percent of donations go to the suffering people. We are all volunteer. We are total independent. We have no big donor now. I wish. We have two fish and five loaves, and God is multiplying."
The work is carried out by 5,000 volunteers with no paid staff, Sister Hatune said.
An elderly German man left the Orthodox nun a small stipend to live on when he died. She pays out of her own pocket for travel, or has a sponsor pay for her flight, as was the case with her trip to Minnesota.
Now she is making plans to return to the Middle East for Christmas, hoping to bring some gifts for children.
One of those who heard her message asked her if she was afraid.
"Everyone has fear," Sister Hatune said. "But I am called to show solidarity. You do that, not with talk, but with action, with duty. Jesus is my body guard."
The nun says Islamic culture is basically "like a dog," in that it must be confronted. If there is a void or a weakness in the Christian culture, the Muslims will sense that weakness and continue to march through and intimidate the native culture.
"You cannot be afraid of Islam culture," she said. "If you run, they will come after you like dog culture. You must stand your ground. I don't say fight. I say resist. I say to them, 'Stop. I don't want you. I have my own God.' They come here thinking to conquer the country. If they don't accept the American way of life, go back to your home. The government has to understand this."

The Environment and Sustainable Development Unit (ESDU) at the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences (FAFS) at AUB, in collaboration with Cooperation without Borders (CWB), launched the Northeast Baalbek demonstration plot, under the Climate-Smart Livelihoods Initiatives and Market Access Tailoring (CLIMAT) project.
The launch event was held in Ras Baalbek on June 29, in the presence of representatives of the minister of Agriculture, Dr. Hassan Al Lakis; representatives of the World Food Programme (WFP); Head of Ras Baalbek Municipality Sheikh Menhem Mohanna; Governor of Baalbek-Hermel Bachir Khodor; Dr. Issam Bashour representing Dean of FAFS Rabih Mohtar; local communities; and friends of ESDU-AUB and CWB.
Throughout the event the attendees got introduced to CLIMAT project achievements, focusing on the demonstration plot objectives and its role in benefitting the local communities in its surrounding area. Work on the agricultural plots has started since the initiation of the CLIMAT project in Northeast Baalbek and West Bekaa, offering farmers, women, and youth hands-on group learning opportunities through the Farmers Field School approach.
The agricultural demonstration unit in Northeast Baalbek covers an area of 2.4 ha. It includes a training venue, a nursery, a berries plot, a hydroponic production unit, a cut rose greenhouse, and plots for aromatic and medicinal plants. The demonstration plot is serving as a knowledge hub, regularly hosting farmers who are interested in learning about the best practices adopted and asking for advice concerning their fields. In addition, the plot provides services (seedlings and germination services) at affordable prices, supporting 150 farmers within a short period until today. The demonstration plot attracts the private and public sectors; private agricultural companies use the plot for their trials, and decision-makers in the area are visiting it, acknowledging climate-smart production.
About CLIMAT Project
CLIMAT is a one-year project implemented by ESDU in partnership with Cooperation without Borders and funded by the German Cooperation under the World Food Programme "Enhancing the livelihoods of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Lebanese host communities through Food for Training." CLIMAT aims at building the capacities of women, youth, and farmers (individuals and agriculture cooperatives) on sustainable agricultural practices and climate-smart food processing. Beneficiaries are also offered material support and market linkages are created. CLIMAT tackles three value chains: small ruminant production (wool and carpet production, dairy processing, and herd/pasture management); alternative and climate-smart agricultural crop production; and agro-food processing.

Media player works fine on a cold start.
or if I let the "dim first, then lock" option suspend it after a while.
On resume, sound isn't working anymore in media player.
And I guess this means you can't take an incoming call out of suspend.
I know the suspend/resume is a work in progress but this have to work in order to allow a decent battery life.

How old is your kernel? Try cat /proc/version for a quick idea. You will need to make sure it is updated to something current if it is the one that was used in the factory.
I tested audio on resume by aplaying a beep out of the back speaker thing before and after, and I even tested suspending inside a longer aplay and hearing it continue after resume.
I'll do some more tests to see if it can be reproduced and keep you posted. Some others on the community list seem to have the same problem.
If you can explain the steps to reproduce it with aplay from Ash commandline that would be great.
This is not tested but should highlight the bug.
diff oldprofile newprofile <= is not identical?
Suspended. Trying resume. root@om-gta02:~# Done.
Executing "pactl suspend-sink 1" prior to suspend, and "pactl suspend-sink 0" upon resume will work around this issue. These commands can be executed by apm automagically, if apm is handling the suspend/resume activity.
Fortunately this is the case for the 2007.2 images, so you can simply add the preceding commands to the /etc/apm/suspend.d and /etc/apm/resume.d directories.
See http://moko.mwester.net/fixes.html for an example that performs these steps (along with some other suspend/resume related actions).
I've dug into the code a little; it seems that pulseaudio is doing something with a file in /sys that triggers this problem; clearly upon resume the driver is in some state that is different than the way pulseaudio left it when the system suspended.
Yep, this solves the issue. I'm hoping this is added to the default Openmoko image soon.
Looking at my current workload I'm happy to git-cherry-pick/git-am a change from any of you. I sadly lack the time to do that myself.
Great work finding a workaround... we play a trick to get fast resume, reloading WM8753 registers takes 700ms, so we push it off into a workqueue so it can complete parallel with rest of resume rather than holding us up. Alsa stuff has good locking concept that allows us to freeze stuff using Alsa assets until this is completed, but I wonder if this /sys guy is not under that lock, in which case pulseaudio might be exposed to stuff that is still "in a state of undress". (BTW this trick originated here has gone into upstream Alsa).
I confirmed here just now that aplay still continues to play fine without pulseaudio around if interrupted by apm -s, it does throw underrun complaint but it is legitimate considering what we are doing.
I guess we need a change to pulseaudio package so it inserts these /etc/apm/* actions I am afraid I have no idea how to do that with OE.
I'm not sure which sysfs file is being used by pulseaudio but the ALSA locking is a purely ALSA thing and I'm not aware of any writable sysfs files that it exports so I would be surprised if the file in question were being covered by this locking mechanism. Which file is it?
Here is a draft script for apm.
Simple, but it is always a problem on neod (set with a restart Xserver).
neod: Loss of sound, at the resume.
I have the same problem with 2008.8 image, should I open a new bugreport on this or not?
I am running 2008.8 with some recent kernel (from Aug 19 I believe).
Unfortunately I can't try given pactl recipe since there is no pulseaudio running on 2008.8 and I am not sure if that would be sane to bring it in -- would it?
I've had the same problem and removing speech-dispatcher (and navit as dependency) fixed this issue.
Some dmesg messages for hopefully completing bug #1599.
aplay is suspended (apm -s) on the FR, after resume, no more sound: the aplay process is hanging.
If the hanging aplay process is nuked then another aplay can be started successfully.
Do these problems still exist or are they apparently entirely due to pulseaudio or similar?
Modern distros don't use neither PA nor speech-dispatcher.

Pontypool puts a wicked intellectual twist on a horror trope
Alex McLevy
Filed to:Watch This
Photo: IFC Films
Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. With the Sundance sensation Hereditary opening in theaters this week, we're taking a look at other movies that make our skin crawl.
Pontypool (2008)
Pontypool has developed something of a reputation for being an "intellectual" horror film. Whether used as a compliment or pejorative, that assessment is entirely deserved. This is a film that has a lot on its mind—and ironically, ends up having a lot to do with the idea that maybe not having anything on your mind is vitally important.
Essentially a film-length bottle episode, Pontypool follows a morning radio DJ named Grant Mazzy (veteran character actor Stephen McHattie, in the role he was born to play) as he begins his normal day at a new gig in the small Canadian town of Pontypool. We get little hints that this is a demotion—Mazzy was fired from his previous DJ job, and according to him, it was because of his provocateur, shock-jock commitment to speaking truth to complacency. He starts drinking the moment he enters his booth, and with help from his technical assistant Laurel-Ann (Georgina Reilly) and producer Sydney (Lisa Houle), begins the routine—sometimes playful, occasionally combative, but always striving to make great radio. The day's work gets disrupted, however, when they get a strange report regarding a riot outside a doctor's office in town. The people are saying strange things, chanting, spouting gibberish. It turns violent. From there, the situation spirals out of control.
To say much more would be to spoil its twist on a classic horror trope, but part of the wicked fun of Pontypool—and what makes it surprisingly unsettling, lingering in the mind long after the bizarre final shot—is how seriously it treats language. Specifically, the English language, in all of its awkward complexity. The characters all speak in distinctive ways, and the little flourishes or tweaks of their verbiage reveal personality quirks or character traits otherwise hidden. The film shows us how words do more than simply make meaning—they convey a host of other qualities that vary among people, and can take on strange or even contradictory definitions. Once it is clear what's causing people to behave in odd and violent ways, the movie gets even more intriguing and open-ended, not less. The "answer" is little more than a gateway to further questions, a means of refuting the usual A-to-B horror tactic of mystery followed by resolution, or at least explanation.
And that, unsurprisingly, means there's a vast range of interpretations of what Pontypool has on its mind. Capitalism, ideology, romance, language, emotion itself—there's a whole host of ways that viewers could read the events of this film, and the movie remains ambiguous enough to make a pretty good case for most of them. By turning a visual medium to focus on radio—a purely auditory medium—it also interrogates how we listen to the things we see. Radio plays out in our mind, whereas film does it in front of our eyes, but the disjunction there gets a full workout in Pontypool, complete with a Roland Barthes quote for good measure.
Availability: Pontypool is available to rent or buy through the major digital services. It can also be obtained on DVD or Blu-ray from Netflix, Amazon, or possibly your local video store/library.

Enterprise management has become extremely complex today. The Internet, information and communication technologies, and compulsions from globalisation, pose both opportunities and threats to the enterprise, of dimensions never seen before. Only the techno-savvy, intelligent, and agile enterprises can manage their business effectively. They seek and depend on intelligent information systems for survival and growth.However, the task of designing, building, and adopting one is quite daunting, given the number and complexities of options.It is in this context that 'integrated intelligent information system' [IIIS] assumes importance. Based on literature and experiences published, this paper presents a systematic approach to designing, building and adopting enterprise-appropriate IIIS.

Find A Park > Highland Park > Highlights > Ridgewood Reservoir
Ridgewood Reservoir
Highland Park and the Reservoir sit on a ridge formed by the Wisconsin ice sheet's terminal moraine. This ridge lends to dramatic views of nearby cemeteries, East New York, Woodhaven, the Rockaways, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Highland Park was acquired in pieces over time by the City of Brooklyn, Parks, and The Highland Park Society. The first purchase was in 1856 when the City of Brooklyn purchased the Snediker's cornfield to start the construction of the Ridgewood Reservoir. This Reservoir was important as the population in Brooklyn was growing and there was a need for more water. The Reservoir was built in 1858 and held 154 million gallons. In 1889, the Reservoir was the last link in the aqueduct system that originated in Nassau County. In 1891, the land surrounding the reservoir, which in now Upper Highland Park, was purchased by the City of Brooklyn. Jurisdiction for this parcel was given to The Highland Park Society. This parcel helped to buffer the Reservoir from the pollutants generated by cemeteries and garbage plants.
Up until 1894, not much was done. The landscape architect firm of Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot designed the main drive and concourse on the southern portion of the Reservoir. The following year, an iron fence was built around the Reservoir and ornamented with electric lamps.
In 1905, the next two land purchases, which now comprise Lower Highland Park, included the Schenck and Monford estates, and in 1906, a land transfer between the Highland Park Society and the Department of Water, Sewer, Gas and Electric was the last parcel added to the park.
The Reservoir operated as a water supply for Brooklyn from 1858 to 1959. In 1917, New York City Tunnel #1 was completed and brought water from north of the city, and in 1936, Tunnel #2 was completed. With the development of the Catskill aqueduct for New York City, Basins One and Three were drained. From 1960 to 1989, Basin Two was used as a backup water supply for Brooklyn and Queens. In 1990, the Department of Environmental Protection decommissioned the site. In 2004, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced its transfer to Parks, as well as plans to develop the site into a public park.
The Reservoir is 50+ acres and sits atop the Harbor Hill Moraine, rising above the surrounding Jamaica Bay outwash plain. It is divided into three basins, which are separated and enclosed by steep stone walls.
Flora of the Reservoir
The outer basins were drained decades ago and provide a unique opportunity to see forest succession at work. The east basin contains large sections of native plants. Trees such as Black Cherry, Grey Birch, Red Maple, and Sweet Gum can be found here. Sedges, grasses, rushes, and other wetland and upland plants thrive beneath the trees. Sweeping across the northern section of this basin are thick carpets of moss, which engulf bog-like areas unique to the New York City area.
The biggest basin is on the west side and contains the largest number of plant communities. Black Locusts dominate here, anchored by an open savannah–like expanse. South of this area, you can find the same clusters of Grey Birch trees, mosses, sedges and grasses as well as Poplar and Willow trees. Pools of standing water have attracted the establishment of wetland plants, some found on the Threatened and Endangered lists.
The central basin contains water and is dominated by Phragmities, a non–native invasive plant.
Wildlife in the Reservoir
With the combination of many different types of habitats—forests, fields, and wetlands—the Reservoir is an opportune spot for wildlife viewing.
The Reservoir falls along the Atlantic Flyway, a coastal migratory route for birds. It is also perched on a ridge, creating updrafts for birds of prey to soar. It and the neighboring Forest Park are listed as the top 500 places to see birds in New York State. In 2007, a total of 127 bird species were recorded in the Reservoir, seven of which are listed as Threatened or of Special Concern. Some birds of prey observed were the Red–Shouldered Hawk and Short–Eared Owl. In May, you can catch the "Warbler Wave" and other spring migrants stopping here before their long journey north.
Mammals and reptiles found in the Reservoir are opossum, raccoon, squirrels, voles, snapping turtles, garter snakes, and frogs.
Highland Park Guidelines
No unauthorized vehicles at any time. Absolutely no dirt bikes, All Terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, etc. are allowed in the park any time.
No alcoholic beverages allowed.
No paintball games allowed inside a New York City park at any time.
Do not enter restricted, fenced, or locked areas in the Reservoir.
Do not damage Parks property.
Please obey and comply with Parks Department employees' instructions, directions, and warnings.
All pets must be kept on a leash at all times, except during the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.

Q: Factoring when multiplying rational functions I'm curious why multiplying the numerators of two rational functions before factoring them results in an incorrect solution.
Suppose we need to find the product of the following expression in lowest terms:
$$
\frac{5x-10}{x^2-36}\cdot\frac{4x+24}{x^2+5x-14}
$$
Traditionally, you'd factor the numerators and denominators and then simplify (keeping track of any domain exclusions):
$$
\frac{5(x-2)}{(x+6)(x-6)}\cdot\frac{4(x+6)}{(x+7)(x-2)}
$$
Answer:
$$
\frac{20}{(x-6)(x+7)}
$$
$$
x\neq -6, 2
$$
It seems to me that it should also be possible to multiply the numerators together first, and then factor them. If we do this with the above example we'd get:
$(5x-10)(4x+24)$
$20x^2+120x-40x-240$
$20x^2+80x-240$
$x^2+4-12$
$(x+6)(x-2)$
Plugging this factored numerator into the expression results in:
$$
\frac{(x+6)(x-2)}{(x+6)(x-6)(x+7)(x-2)}
$$
This ultimately results in an incorrect answer of:
$$
\frac{1}{(x-6)(x+7)}
$$
$$
x \neq -6, 2
$$

A: You factored out a 20 when you multiplied out the numerators.
$20x^{2}+80x-240 = 20(x+6)(x-2)$

Mexico to appeal latest fine by FIFA over anti-gay chant
Video via MLS: Morris' impact, Gio returns (5:17)
Take a look at Jordan Morris' pending impact for the USMNT and Giovani dos Santos' return to El Tri. (5:17)
Tom MarshallMexico correspondent
The Mexico federation has defended the right by fans to chant during kicks by opposing goalkeepers. AP Images
The Mexican football federation (FMF) is set to appeal the fine and warning dished out by FIFA for anti-gay chants from fans during El Tri's World Cup qualifying game in Estadio Azteca on Sept. 6 against Honduras.
The 30,000 Swiss francs ($30,600) fine, announced on Tuesday, was the fifth time within 11 months that FIFA has acted on the chant in games involving Mexico. This time, the FMF has decided to respond, as it did in January of 2016.
"We will fight the sanction because we don't agree with the connotation that FIFA has given the chant," said general secretary Guillermo Cantu in an FMF news release.
The chant in question is directed at opposition goalkeepers as they take goal kicks and first came under the international spotlight in Brazil 2014, when FIFA investigated it at the 2014 World Cup.
However, the disciplinary committee of the organisation decided the chant "is not considered insulting in this specific context."
Cantu stressed that the FMF would continue to support the fight to eradicate discrimination in Mexico.
"We will seek to explain [to FIFA] that the chant in Mexico isn't done with the intention that FIFA has interpreted, and in the Brazil World Cup the disciplinary committee determined that in this context the chant wasn't discriminatory."
Also on Tuesday, the Chilean national team were banned from playing a World Cup qualifier at their home stadium and received a fine because of the repeated discriminatory and unsporting conduct of fans.
Apelaremos la Sanción: Guillermo Cantú https://t.co/Hg5PY0o6Hh
- FEMEXFUT (@FMF) October 4, 2016
The FMF launched a campaign entitled "Embraced by Soccer" back in March asking fans not to engage in discriminatory behavior, although the chant has continued at both national team and Liga MX games since.


December 20, 2012. Prepared by FPI for the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the latest issue of the BLMR looks at Brooklyn's food chain including specialty food manufacturing, restaurants, and gourmet food stores. The report finds that when you look at the entire Brooklyn food chain—starting with food manufacturing and wholesale distribution, and including grocery stores, specialty food stores, restaurants and coffee shops—nearly 59,000 people are employed in 7,800 businesses. Thus, the food chain accounts for 16 percent of the 49,000 businesses in Brooklyn, and 12.5 percent of the borough's 472,000 private sector jobs.
