The Murder of William of Norwich
The Origins of the Blood Libel in Medieval Europe
E. M. Rose
Fascinating micro-history of a mysterious 12th-century murder and the ensuing court case--a medieval "True Crimes" meets Philip Marlowe
The first book to offer a generally accepted explanation for the origin of the ritual murder accusation that is grounded in immediate historical circumstances
Accessible to general readers and intellectually satisfying to those interested in medieval history and religion
In 1144, the mutilated body of William of Norwich, a young apprentice leatherworker, was found abandoned outside the city's walls. The boy bore disturbing signs of torture, and a story spread that it was a ritual murder, performed by Jews in imitation of the Crucifixion as a mockery of Christianity. The outline of William's tale eventually gained currency far beyond Norwich, and the idea that Jews engaged in ritual murder became firmly rooted in the European imagination.
E.M. Rose's engaging book delves into the story of William's murder and the notorious trial that followed to uncover the origin of the ritual murder accusation - known as the "blood libel" - in western Europe in the Middle Ages. Focusing on the specific historical context - 12th-century ecclesiastical politics, the position of Jews in England, the Second Crusade, and the cult of saints - and suspensefully unraveling the facts of the case, Rose makes a powerful argument for why the Norwich Jews (and particularly one Jewish banker) were accused of killing the youth, and how the malevolent blood libel accusation managed to take hold. She also considers four "copycat" cases, in which Jews were similarly blamed for the death of young Christians, and traces the adaptations of the story over time.
In the centuries after its appearance, the ritual murder accusation provoked instances of torture, death and expulsion of thousands of Jews and the extermination of hundreds of communities. Although no charge of ritual murder has withstood historical scrutiny, the concept of the blood libel is so emotionally charged and deeply rooted in cultural memory that it endures even today. Rose's groundbreaking work, driven by fascinating characters, a gripping narrative, and impressive scholarship, provides clear answers as to why the blood libel emerged when it did and how it was able to gain such widespread acceptance, laying the foundations for enduring antisemitic myths that continue to present.

Winner of the 2016 Albert C. Outler Prize from the American Society of Church History
"The excellently written and interesting book by E.M. Rose fills an important gap in a vast body of work on this subject that was, quite astonishingly, not filled before....Anti-Semitic allegations of ritual murder must be seen from the point of view of the history of the locality, but also in a wide perspective that includes political, economic and religious developments, never isolated from the context of historical event. That is precisely what E.M. Rose achieves."--Hanna Zaremska, Kwartalnik Historyczny [translated from Polish]
"Emily Rose provides us with an accessible, interesting, often challenging, and elegantly written book. This is the most comprehensive study of the first known accusation of 'ritual murder' in its specific historical context .Emily Rose's very challenging monograph is certainly worth reading as it is thought-provoking and original. Her exhaustive analysis of Thomas of Monmouth's The Life and Passion of William of Norwich as the source of the ritual murder accusation (a legend that has caused much Jewish suffering) deserves to have a wide audience of general and Jewish history readers alike."--Myriam Greilsammer, Antisemitism Studies
"The Murder of William of Norwich is a sweeping revision of an influential scholarly story. Anyone who works on twelfth-century England, Anglo-Jewish history, or medieval and later antisemitisms will have to contend with this book. It is a significant accomplishment."--Adrienne Williams Boyarin, American Historical Review
"Rose has carefully re-evaluated Thomas' story, contextualizing its events in light of East Anglia's contemporary social and economic perturbations...The Murder of William of Norwich is a well-written, carefully researched, provocative, and supremely important book, offering a new and necessary starting point for anyone interested in the origins of medieval Christian violence against Jews."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"A landmark of historical research into the grotesque 800-year history of blood-libel accusations."--Wall Street Journal
"Lucid and exhaustively researched..."--The Times Literary Supplement
"A tremendous book. This is forensic historical reasoning allied to hugely readable storytelling: part murder mystery, part masterly thesis exploring a deeply unpleasant and sinister aspect of medieval culture, which is still of immense significance today. The Murder of William of Norwich is one the most stimulating pieces of serious historical storytelling I have read all year."--The Sunday Times
"Our explanation for Jewish creativity is that Jews have learned from experience that the entire world can believe something that is demonstrably false, such as the blood libel. This fine book takes us back in time to what may have been the first false accusation that a Jew (or 'the Jews') killed a Christian to obtain his blood for ritual purposes. It explains, without justifying, how so many could be so wrong for so long."--Alan Dershowitz, author of Abraham: The World's First (But Certainly Not Last) Jewish Lawyer
"E.M. Rose's book on the murder of William of Norwich is a breathtaking work of revision that addresses one of the central questions in the history of Christian/Jewish relations in the Middle Ages, a topic of enormous relevance in the contemporary world and one around which there is considerable scholarly contestation. The book is a brilliant piece of historical investigation and a marvelous read as well."--Gabrielle Spiegel, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University
"The storytelling by this first-time author is quite voluble, with the pen of a master narrator. The text is never boring, picking up new lines just when the old ones had run their course. A brilliant entry by this author, leaving us wanting a next book soon."--Huffington Post
"The book is lively, well-written, and consistently interesting." -- Robert C. Stacey, Catholic Historical Review

Mauritius Man Charged with Abusive Sexual Contact of a Sleeping Woman on a Cruise Ship
NEWARK, N.J. – A Mauritius man is scheduled to appear in Newark federal court for allegedly engaging in abusive sexual contact with a sleeping woman aboard a cruise ship, U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman announced.
Karan Seechurn, 25, was detained upon arrival in Bayonne, New Jersey, early on Dec. 27, 2014, and arrested by agents of the FBI. He is charged by complaint with abusive sexual contact and is scheduled to appear this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer in Newark federal court.
Seechurn was an employee of the cruise line and was responsible for restocking the minibars located in passengers' rooms. In order to conduct this duty, he was provided with a key that gave him access to passengers' rooms. On Dec. 23, 2014, he allegedly used this key to access passengers' rooms when he was not authorized or permitted to do so. Seechurn entered a sleeping female passenger's room without her knowledge and permission. She awoke to find Seechurn touching her genitalia and she pushed him off her. When she tried to leave the room, he pulled her back and threated to burn down the cruise ship if she told anyone.
The federal government has special maritime jurisdiction over sexual abuse cases, such as those that occur on cruise ships.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Aaron T. Ford, with the investigation leading to the charge.
The government is represented by Meredith Williams of the U.S. Attorney's Office General Crimes Unit in Newark.
The charge and allegations in the complaint are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

A cross-firing scam fraudulently secures credit using a web of accounts and shell companies to make transactions that give a false impression of a company's health. It is similar fraud to check kiting.
A cross-firing scam tricks creditors into believing a company is solvent went it is not. It exploits the difficulty in obtaining clear information on a large number of transactions in a web of shell companies. These may be further obscured by using different lending institutions and exchanging funds between foreign companies. For example, one department might charge a shell company for work rendered, while the shell company simultaneously charges the department for a different contract. This sort of fraud can be difficult for auditors to spot.

WATCH: Sinéad O'Connor shares video for new single 'Trouble Of The World' in aid of Black Lives Matter
Sinead O'Connor at Vicar Steet, Dublin 27.10.2019 Copyright Colm Kelly.
Take a look at the video for our current Hot Press cover star's highly anticipated new single below.
Sinéad O'Connor is back – with a powerful video for her brand new single, 'Trouble Of The World', released today in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The spiritual, popularised in 1959 by legendary gospel singer and activist Mahalia Jackson, remains timely in the context of George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis.
"I fell in love with the song for the same reason that anyone would fall in love with it," Sinéad told Hot Press in her recent cover story interview. "The lines about 'I want to see my Mother' – who doesn't fall in love with that? So I was as tearful as the next man, frankly, listening to that. Once we did it, I realised it really suits the time now. I was also observing Public Enemy on CNN talking about their track 'State Of The Union'. Chuck D was saying how important it is that artists get out there and make statements."
"Every movement needs a soundtrack," she continued. "And the soundtrack for this particular movement has already been recorded by people like Mahalia Jackson."
Sinéad's new single was first played at 8.10am this morning, by Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 6 Music.
Back in August, Sinéad revealed on Twitter that she shot a music video for the single in London, with iconic director, DJ and artist Don Letts. The single is produced by the great Belfast producer David Holmes.
So excited for Thursday. Making the video for my new single with Don Letts directing. Single is in aid of and in support of Black Lives Matter and will be released October 2nd.
— Sinead O'Connor (AKA Shuhada Sadaqat) (@MagdaDavitt77) August 25, 2020
The release marks another major moment in Sinéad's triumphant return – with a sold-out run of shows last year, and a stunning performance on the finale of The Late Late Show.
She's also recently featured as part of our our 'Rave On, Van Morrison' YouTube event, and contributed to our Van Morrison Special Issue of Hot Press, marking his 75th birthday.
Watch the video for Sinéad O'Connor's new single, 'Trouble Of The World' below:
Buy the single from Bandcamp below – with 100% of revenue from the digital sales going to Black Lives Matter charities, "a cause close to Sinéad's heart and the raison d'être of the song's release."

Advanced Security for Outlook 2.10
Get rid of your annoying security alerts in Microsoft Outlook.
Get rid of annoying security alerts in Microsoft Outlook! Advanced Security for Outlook allows you to determine the violator as well as specifying the status for this program for future occasions e.g. allow access, block access or run the default Outlook handler. Future specified actions will be executed automatically and Outlook Security will cease to annoy you with messages concerning attempts to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook.
The standard security system has two drawbacks: first, it does not allow users to determine the source of the threat, second, a lot of other applications developed before the security system appeared can be unbearably annoying due to the constant warning appearances. Since the security system is constantly updated, even a "fresh" program can get into the list of such applications. There is still another drawback resulting from the first two: the user must temporarily disable the security system thus allowing any other program to work without any security system restrictions.
This Outlook add-in solves all of the above problems providing the information not only about the type of alert, but also about what program caused it and makes it possible for the user to specify what status this program should have: allow access, block access or run the default Outlook handler. Later on you can change or delete the decision taken.
It should be mentioned that there is a range of tasks (albeit rather limited) which an Outlook developer can implement only through the use of the object model and its "blocked" methods. In this case Advanced Security is an indispensable Outlook add-in when using such an application.

Description: This is the one features I wanted from LFO tool. It was easy to build and I wanted to share this device in case anyone else wanted it. There is a youtube video showing how to use the tool. Enjoy!
Thanks for the comment. I have not tried multiple instances of this tool. I did match this tool vs LFO tool side by side to see if the resulting output was the same and it was very close. That is all the testing I did.
Oh god, finally! Setting up sidechain with ABleton stock devices caused a lot of troubles in the past.
super nice tool, BUT... unfortunately all settings get lost and device is in "initial" state after saving and re-opening projects. is it possible to fix?
Fixed the device so it should save the curve when the live set is saved or the device is saved as a standalone device.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 1—A federation of black community organizations in Columbus, Ohio, asked the. Federal Corn munications Commission yes terday to deny license renewals for three local broadcasters on the ground that they had given inadequate coverage to the needs and interests of black listeners.
The petition followed a pat tern of license challenges that have led in some cases to pro tracted legal disputes but more often have prompted negotiated settlements that included broad er coverage of black communi ties and expanded black hir ing.
The new petition, organized by the Columbus Broadcast Coalition and signed by seven other groups, was aimed at WTVN‐TV, WTVN‐AM and WBRUK‐FM, all properties of the Taft Broadcasting Com pany; WBNS‐TV‐AM‐FM, owned by the Wolfe family and The Columbus Dispatch; and VCOL AM‐FM, owned by the Great Trails Broadcasting Company.
The petitioners charged each of the stations with insensitivity to the real interests of their black audiences. The Taft and the Wolfe stations, they said, had given minimal attention to black leaders in the community surveys that the F.C.C. requires them to make.

Preview to Burma's election
MELBOURNE — On May 25, about 50 people attended a forum on Burma's election, which is due to occur this year.
The forum was addressed by Debbie Stothard, coordinator of Alternative ASEAN Network on Burma, who noted the many undemocratic structures set up by the military junta.
She said: "The 2008 constitution will guarantee military control over the election and resulting parliament. Election commissioners are handpicked by the regime, political parties must exclude 'convicted persons' such as Aung San Suu Kyi and there is severe censorship and restrictions on campaigning.
"In the 18 months before 2010, 477 dissidents were imprisoned for terms of up to 104 years and the number of prisoners has doubled since 2007."
Stothard also noted that Western aid officials, including from Australia, are looking at the elections as a way to normalise relations and open up Burma's oil and gas resources.
"However, the National League for Democracy (NLD) and the major ethnic parties have decided to act on principle and are encouraging people to boycott the elections", Stothard said.

Q: Adding Comma To Javascript Output I'm trying to run a function that will add commas to the results of a form that multiplies the values of two drop down boxes.
The function I have works on an html element such as p class="points" but it is not working on the output generated by id="results2"
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
<form name="myForm" id="myForm">
    Select Amount
    <select id="box1" type="select" oninput="calculate()" />
        <option value="choose" selected>Choose</option>
        <option value="15000">$15,000</option>
        <option value="20000">$20,000</option>
        <option value="25000">$25,000</option>
        <option value="30000">$30,000</option>
        <option value="35000">$35,000</option>
    </select>
    Select Type
    <select id="box2" type="select" oninput="calculate()" />
        <option value="x" selected>Choose</option>
        <option value=".21">1</option>
        <option value=".40">2</option>
    </select>
    <input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit" id="multiply">

        here are the results:

        $ a week

</form>

A: Here is a quick dirty method:
function numberWithCommas(x) {
    x = x.toString();
    var pattern = /(-?\d+)(\d{3})/;
    while (pattern.test(x))
        x = x.replace(pattern, "$1,$2");
    return x;
}

should add that this was provided by Peter Mortensen:
How to print a number with commas as thousands separators in JavaScript
here is a demo:
https://jsfiddle.net/keinchy/dx7qg4nk/1/
-cheers

A: Your event handler for #multiply never actually calls numberWithCommas. Replace
$('#result2').text(result);

with
$('#result2').text(numberWithCommas(result));

and it should work.

A: You are just not calling numberWithCommas() on your result.  Here is your code with one change (and I had to add the calculate function that is referenced by the select's oninput).

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#multiply').click(function(event) {

        event.preventDefault();
        var n1=$('#box1').val();
        var n2=$('#box2').val();
        var result=Math.round(n1*n2*25);

        $('#resultholder4').fadeIn(200);
        $('#number1').append(n1);
        $('#number2').append(n2);

        // added call to numberWithCommas, line had been:
      //$('#result2').text(result);
        // changed to:
        $('#result2').text(numberWithCommas(result)); //   <--------

    });
});

function numberWithCommas(x) {
    return x.toString().replace(/\B(?=(?:\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ",");
}

$('.points').each(function() {
    var v_pound = $(this).html();
    v_pound = numberWithCommas(v_pound);

    $(this).html(v_pound)
});

function calculate() {
    // ?
}

<form name="myForm" id="myForm">

Monday, 8 June marked the first day that Universal's 'Jurassic World' took over London's Waterloo Station, with a number of amazing-looking dinosaur models, a pop-up shop and an audio-visual tour.
Last week an Ingen crate was mysteriously placed in the centre of the station with a raptor warning, and today we found out what exactly was in this secure unit: four velociraptors, of course! The spectacle has, as you can imagine, attracted crowds throughout the day and will continue to do so.
There are several actual 'Jurassic World' guides and rangers dotted around the station ready to introduce us to the team of dinos and answer any questions you may have.
Huge banner, movie posters, looped film footage, an audio and visual tour, and the chance to see your selfie tweets on the huge video screen (if you include #JurassicWaterloo) are all part of this immersive experience that's there until 22 June.
Above: Anyone can log on and use their smart phones for an audio tour.
There's also a newly erected shop where you can buy all of the films, as well as a limited edition tin (in association with Odeon) as a means of storing your ticket/gift card that can be purchased from the shop, or the limited edition ticket you can obtain if you visit Odeon cinemas between 11 and 14 June.
The extent that Universal have gone to ahead of 'Jurassic World's' release later this week is impressive. It reminiscent of the incredible marketing campaign they did for the first 'Jurassic Park' back in 1993, whereby you couldn't go anywhere without seeing some sort of JP-related merch.
'Jurassic World' is in UK cinemas from 11 June.


WHO ARE THE MORLEY ARMS?
As a new owner of the business, we were inundated with companies trying to save us money. Smarta came highly recommended.
Smarta's prices were by far the most competitive -no one could touch them! It was also the personal touch we bought into.
What Does The Morley Arms Say About Smarta?
"We couldn't be happier – very professional and with unbeatable prices, I would recommend Smarta to all my business contacts".


RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande and Rio Grande Community College works to connect the community to educational opportunities outside of the classroom.
To continue this effort, Professor of History Dr. Sam Wilson is teaming up with Bossard Library in Gallipolis to begin a book club focusing on Civil War history. The round-table book club will meet quarterly at Bossard Library with the first meeting set for 10 a.m. Saturday, May 11. Wilson said he believes it is important for Rio to provide opportunities for educational discussion off campus as a way to connect with the community.
The first book the club will discuss is "The War that Forged a Nation," by James McPherson. The book gives in depth looks into the impact the war has had on the history of the United States and the influence it still has generations later. Wilson said he feels this is an important starting point because of the work's significance in scholarly research regarding the Civil War area.
Both the Davis and Bossard Libraries work to bring a variety of educational opportunities and resources to the community. The Bossard Library's Adult Programing Associate Lynn Pauley said she believes it is important to connect with the community through collaboration and offering a variety of activities covering a wide variety of interests.
"The War that Forged a Nation" is available to borrow at Bossard library or through interlibrary loans at the Davis Library. Anyone interested in more information about the book club can contact Sam Wilson at swilson@rio.edu or Lynn Pauley at the Bossard Library at 740-446-7323 ex. 229.


May 7, 2009 Lilly is one of 51 babies dropped off at safe havens since the law took effect in 2001. And on Thursday, she and her adoptive parents attended an event commemorating the success of the program.
Under the law, a parent can give up their newborn at any police station, fire station or hospital. They can do so anonymously, no questions asked.
There is a push to extend the time a parent can legally surrender their newborn from seven days to 30 days.


The article completion score for this TF is 60%.
NFIC was one of the first mammalian transcription factors cloned and was named CTF1 (for CAAT box transcription factor 1) by the lab that cloned it. It was later shown to be a member of the NFI gene family. It was the first transcription factor in which a "proline rich" transactivation domain was discovered and in some members this C-terminal domain contains a perfect repeat of the heptamer sequence found in the CTD of RNA polymerase II. While the NFIC CTD repeat has been shown to function as a transactivation domain in yeast (which do not express any endogenous NFI proteins), some isoforms of NFIC do not contain this repeat yet still function effectively as transcriptional activators. NFIC is O-glycosylated, the function of which is unknown.
Most of what is known about the biological roles of NFIC has been determined from the phenotype of Nfic-/- mice. These mice develop relatively normally during embryogenesis but have severe defects in postnatal tooth development, including dysgenesis of the incisors and a failure of the roots of the molars to grow out from the crowns.
See NFIA for a general description of the NFI gene family.

Needless to say I own every Britney CD (like the actual CDs with cases and everything). Since downloading music (legally and illegally) became so popular not many people buy actual CDs anymore. Billboard even has a special chart just for digital downloads. However, there are certain people, Britney being one, that I always buy the actual CD when it comes out. Typically these are people that I was buying CDs of before I started downloading music (Britney, Backstreet Boys, Justin Timberlake and the likes… Go ahead, call me a nerd, but I still love them). So buying Britney's new CD was a no brainer.
When left in the hypothetical hands of the mastermind computer behind Pandora Internet Radio, my music preferences tend to pleasantly surprise me. Today, thanks to my *NSYNC and Britney Spears stations, Pandora gave me O-Town's "All or Nothing." Don't remember O-Town? I doubt anyone who isn't a twenty-something woman does. You know the show Making the Band on MTV? I know it was a few years ago, but really rack your brains. Diddy made two crappy "bands" that didn't last more than a couple years? Ahh yea, now you're with me. Well before Diddy took the show to MTV, Lou Pearlman (the man behind Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC) made a band on ABC. That boy band became O-Town, the not as successful competition to BSB and *NSYNC.
I had forgotten all about them! The fact that the song grabbed my attention instead of just being background noise to my thesis thought makes it today's Song of the Day. When it came on, I found myself singing along and had to pause and go "wait a minute, what is this song I know all the words to?" (We all do that at some point) before clicking to the Pandora tab on my browser to see.
Many people say they get antsy when they are waiting for something to come–a package, an event, a visitor, etc–but it is that feeling of anticipation that makes it all worth it. If something is not worth anticipating, how great can it really be?
Knowing that something exciting is only days away helps get us through the sludge of work and responsibilities that come before it. (After all, this is what the blog is about).
For the last 38 days I have had 2 countdowns going on the homescreen of my phone (thanks to the Countdown Widget from the Droid App Market): one for the day I leave for Florida, and the other for tomorrow, the Bon Jovi concert. A minimum of 38 days of anticipation have all led up to this weekend.
The anticipation that has been building for those 38 days has been the driving force that has gotten me motivated to do homework, work work, and push harder at the gym (Florida's beaches and bathing suits may be the direct cause of that last one). I feel without something to look forward to the mundane would seem just, well, mundane and boring. Anticipating something great will at least distract long enough to get through what has to get done so that the fun can begin.
So go pick something exciting coming up in your future and build it up in your head so that you can't wait to do it. And if you don't think you have anything exciting coming up, make it happen. Call up and friend and make plans to get together, or pick a specific date to go make that big purchase you've been saving up forward. I promise, having something to look forward to will make all the stuff you have to do while waiting totally worth it, almost like you paid your dues for this great ending.


These two pictures are of a MUSJID in Allahabad, Hindu India, in the process of being demolished yesterday (11 October 2018) despite a Court order prohibiting the demolition. The entire Hindu Mushrik media have reacted with deafening silence at this act of sacrilege.
Destruction, demolition, forceful possession, conversion of Musjids into stables for animals and sacrilege of thousands of Musaajid in Hindu India since it gained independence from Britain have been the norm. Therefore, there is really no surprise in yesterday's sacrilegious demolition of the Allahabad Musjid in defiance of a Court order.
The purpose of our naseehat in this article is not to rant against the Hindu worshippers of Shaitaan whose brains and souls have been corrupted and ruined at the altar of shirk and idolatry in which millions of animals, stone idols, trees, etc., etc. are worshipped as their deities. The objective of our naseehat is to educate Muslims to understand that the actual cause for the sacrilegious destruction of this Musjid, the Barbari Musjid and of the thousands of other Musaajid all over India, is the Muslim Ummah.
Muslims themselves first destroy the Musaajid spiritually. This spiritual destruction and sacrilege are followed by physical destruction and sacrilege at the hands of the impure kuffaar whom Allah Ta'ala despatches to punish Muslims for their gross and flagrant fisq, fujoor, bid'ah and even kufr. Kuffaar who wallow in spiritual filth, Shirk, and physical filth, janaabat, are sent and allowed by Allah Ta'ala to humiliate and punish Muslims for their treachery against the Deen.
All over the world, only a small minority of Muslims attends the Musaajid for the daily Five Fardh Salaat. Worldly activities – work, business, professions and even sport – are accorded priority and preference over and above the Fardh Salaat. People living around the Musjid spiritually pillage and plunder the Musjid with their absence from Salaat and with their haraam functions in the Musjid and its environs. Musjid halls are utilized for fisq and fujoor wedding and other functions. Kuffaar wallowing in janaabat and shirk are allowed to pollute the Musaajid. They are allowed inside the Musaajid for sight-seeing and even political meetings and campaigning. Men and women perpetually in the state of janaabat, and women with much of their satr exposed enter and pollute the Musaajid at the behest and with the permission of trustees and the kuffaar bootlicking ulama-e-soo'.
When the very Maqsad (Objective) for which the Musaajid have been instituted and constructed is violated, neglected and abandoned, then the Musaajid invoke the La'nat (Curse) of Allah Azza Wa Jal on the Muslim inhabitants. The Musjid supplicates for the destruction of the Muslim community which has destroyed it with haraam abandonment and acts of sacrilege. This Curse is readily accepted by Allah Ta'ala, and the consequence is the hand-over of the Musjid to the kuffaar for defilement and demolition.
What is portrayed in the two pictures above, is the physical burial of a 'corpse'. When Muslims spiritually defile the Musjid, they kill its ROOH (Soul). What is done with a lifeless body – with a corpse? Obviously it is buried underground. Once Muslims kill the Rooh of the Musjid, it remains a lifeless physical body which has to be buried like all corpses. Thus, what you are seeing in the two pictures above, is the physical corpse of the Musjid entity which Muslims have murdered. There is therefore, no need to rant and vilify the najis cow and idol-worshippers for carrying out the act of the physical burial.

Classic Film Review – The Quiet Man (1952)
John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara are one of the under-rated screen couples of classic cinema. Together they made five films, three of those with legendary director John Ford. One would think that three such stubborn, opinionated and temperamental people might find it hard to create such a charming, sentimental picture like The Quiet Man. But that is exactly what they accomplished.
After decades of living in the America, Sean Thornton is returning to his birthplace in the little villiage of Innisfree, Ireland. Most of the villagers are happy to welcome home a member of the Thornton family, with the exception of Will Danaher, the local squire. Sean and Danaher get off on the wrong foot after Sean purchases the little cottage where he was born out from under Danaher. Making matters worse, Sean also takes a liking to Danaher's fiery-tempered sister Mary-Kate.
While the villagers welcome him, Sean must adjust to the Irish customs and traditions honored in Innisfree. Nowhere is this culture shock felt more than in his courtship of Mary Kate. Of course, Danaher refuses to make it easy for him. And Mary Kate runs hot and cold. But Sean is assisted by the local matchmaker Michaeleen Flynn, Father Lonergan and the Reverend Playfair in adapting to his home country and in winning Mary Kate's hand.

Rock Hudson Blogathon -Tarnished Angels (1957)
Over the years, I've seen several movies starring Rock Hudson. The Douglas Sirk melodramas, comedies with Doris Day and the Texas epic Giant, among others. As much as I've enjoyed these films, it is always someone else's performance which catches my eye. So when the opportunity arose to view Tarnished Angels I chose to watch it for Dorothy Malone. But then I got the surprise of my life – Rock Hudson can act!
FILM BACKGROUND
Tarnished Angels is based on the novel Pylon by William Faulkner. According to Faulkner, it is the best film adaptation of all his works. Aside from perhaps Tennessee Williams, no one could write a Southern potboiler like this native author. As usual, certain plot points of the story were toned down for the screen due to the Code. The film reunited director Douglas Sirk with Rock Hudson, Robert Stack and Dorothy Malone two years after working together on Written on the Wind.

Continue reading "Book Review -In the Eye of the Storm"

Not to mention that Colin, who bears a noble name and heritage, is in New York seeking a wealthy wife to prop up his crumbling estate.
At the same time Lucy and Nick's legal drama takes an unexpected turn, Colin learns something about her which could put their case in jeopardy. At the same time Lucy runs across a news item which could ruin Colin's reputation and thereby his marriage hopes. In an agreement of quid pro quo, Lucy and Colin decide to join forces while fighting their mutual attraction. Continue reading "Book Review -A Dangerous Legacy"

Classic Film Review -Camille (1936)
Based on the novel La Dame aux Camélias by Alexander Dumas the younger, Camille is a familiar tale which also inspired the opera La Traviata and the musical film Moulin Rouge, which has brought the story to modern audiences.
Regardless, of its interpretation on stage or film the foundation of the story remains the same. An innocent young man with little to his name falls in love with a popular, charming, Parisian courtesan. His earnest and sincere wooing of the worldly woman breaks through her defenses tempting her to risk her heart and livelihood. It is a love story with a sad ending and one of the most popular and well-loved romances in literature.
When tragedy interrupts a good romance
MY THOUGHTS ON CAMILLE
This particular interpretation stars the great Greta Garbo who quickly rose to acclaim as a silent film actress. I have watched many of her films and cannot claim to be a fan, in spite of her talent, because I often find her characters cold and emotionally unapproachable. However, her version of Camille is the opposite. Continue reading "Classic Film Review -Camille (1936)"

Top Ten Tuesday – Most Anticipated Book Releases for the First Half of 2020


On 20 February, a consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation, Hitachi, Kinki Sharyo and Thales received a 'Letter of Conditional Acceptance' from the Qatar Railways Company for a systems package for the Doha Metro, the first metro system to be constructed in Qatar.
The project is one of the world's largest for a single metro system.
The launch of phase 1 of the Doha Metro is scheduled for 2019.
The Doha Metro will consist of 4 lines (Red, Green, Gold and Blue) in 2 phases. The network will cover a total distance of 241 kilometers with 106 stations, of which 123 kilometers will be constructed underground. It will connect the main areas of Doha, including the Hamad International Airport opened in April 2014, the Old City, and newly developing inner city areas such as West Bay and Lusail.
Qatar Rail is the owner and manager of Qatar's rail network and responsible for the design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the entire rail network and systems.
The newly accepted package calls for turnkey construction of a fully automated driverless metro system. Included are 75 sets of three-car trains, platform screen doors, tracks, a railway yard, and systems for signaling, power distribution, telecommunications and tunnel ventilation. The package is also expected to include maximum 20-year maintenance services for the metro system after its completion.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, the leader of the consortium, will supply the power distribution system, platform screen doors, tracks and tunnel ventilation work, and will also undertake overall project management and system integration.
Mitsubishi Corporation and Kinki Sharyo will jointly provide the railway cars. Thales will supply the advanced communications based train control (CBTC) signaling, telecommunications & security, integrated operational control center and automatic fare collection systems.
Hitachi will perform some project management duties and also handle facilities maintenance, including the supply of special maintenance vehicles that comprehensively inspect the safety of infrastructure such as railway tracks and electric train lines.
Alstom has been designated as the contractor to supply rubber-tyred metros trains for lines 1, 4, 6, 11 and 14 of the Paris metro and the future Grand Paris metro.The contract is for a maximum of 217 MP14 trains over a period of 15 years and is worth a total amount of more than €2 billion.
Through this contract, three different organisations are grouping their orders: STIF (the Paris transport organising authority), Société du Grand Paris (the public agency tasked with designing and implementing the extension of the metro network) and RATP (the operator of all Paris metro lines today).
A first firm order, for an amount of around €500 million, concerns 35 eight-car metros for the automated line 14. This should be followed by a second order for up to 37 trains for extensions to this line and then conditional options.
MP14, the latest-generation rubber-tyred metro, will have a 100% electric braking system that recovers energy and re-injects it into the network in the form of electricity.
With this new rolling stock, RATP aims to reduce energy consumption by 20% compared to the previous generation of vehicles and by 50% compared to the oldest rubber-tyred rolling stock that is still in service.
In July 2013, STIF approved the proposal of RAPT to convert Line 4 into a fully automated metro line, with expected completion by 2022.
On 26 December, Nippon Signal received the order for the signaling system for Metro Line 6 of São Paulo, Brazil, from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) .
MHI signed a contract with Move São Paulo (MSP), constructor and operator of the line, for the driverless operation railway system.
São Paulo Metro Line 6 is to run for 15 km and is to have 15 stations from downtown to the northwest high-density residential district. It is expected to carry 630,000 people a day.
Nippon Signal is responsible for the signaling system in this project and will deliver ATS (Automatic Train Supervision), EI (Electrical Interlocking) and ATP (Automatic Train Protection, the company's CBTC called "SPARCS").
AnsaldoBreda was awarded a contract for 250 million euro for the M4 line of Milan. The agreement is for the supply of 47 driverless metro trains.
Line 4 of Milan, whose construction is expected in about 7 years, will link the airport of Milan with the San Cristoforo FS railway station, crossing the city centre from east to west, with 15 stations over 14.5 km.
AnsaldoBreda will manufacture 47 driverless trains, with four cars and bidirectional (that is capable to operate in both directions). The interiors are characterized by the absence of obstacles and constrictions among the cars, allowing to have a single space for the entire length of the vehicle. The trains can carry 600 passengers, out of which 64 seated, and will have two seats for the handicapped. The maximum speed is 80 km/h.
The trains have been designed for passenger's maximum comfort and safety: air conditioning and heating, fire detection, events static recorder and advanced communication systems to the traveller. Like any driverless, the vehicles will offer to all passengers on board a panoramic view, typically exclusive to the driver, due to the large window that replaces the driver's cabin.

Hawaii 'dodged a bullet,' as Lane weakens to tropical storm
<p>Warnings of dangerous rip currents does not deter people from walking the wave swept break wall at the East end of Waikiki beach to take selfies with the sunset and stormy seas caused by Hurricane Lane on August 24, 2018. </p>
Hawaii residents breathed a sigh of relief as Hurricane Lane disintegrated into a tropical storm, but authorities warned that its thrashing winds and relentless rain will remain a threat into the weekend.
Lane dumped more than 40 inches of rain in some parts of the Big Island over several days, sending residents fleeing life-threatening flash flooding and landslides.
It weakened to a tropical storm Friday, a major downgrade for what was a Category 3 hurricane just a day earlier.
Weakening is forecast through the weekend, with Lane expected to become "a remnant low" by late Saturday or Sunday, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said.
The islands "dodged a bullet," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. While they will not face the full fury of a Category 3 hurricane, residents and tourists should remain vigilant as heavy rains, flash flooding and landslides are still a threat.
On Saturday, Lane's maximum sustained winds were near 65 mph with higher gusts, according to the center's latest bulletin . The storm is 130 miles (210 kilometers) south-southwest of Honolulu.
It's "moving slowly" toward the north-northwest, south of Hawaii and its outer rain bands are bringing severe floods to parts of the islands, the center said.
"Lane is moving north-northwest at near 3 mph (6 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through this morning. This will likely be followed by a turn toward the west with an increase in forward speed starting later today or tonight. This westward motion is forecast to continue through Sunday," the center said.
A tropical storm warning was in effect for Oahu, Maui and Hawaii counties, while a tropical storm watch was in effect for Kauai County. A warning means tropical storm conditions are expected while a watch means tropical storm conditions are possible.
"Lane's outer rain bands will produce excessive rainfall this weekend, which could lead to additional flash flooding and landslides. Lane is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches in some areas. Localized storm total amounts well in excess of 40 inches have already been observed along the windward side of the Big Island," the center said.
The center of the storm is not expected to come ashore though the eye wall could pass dangerously close to the central islands, including Oahu and Maui, in the coming days.
But it's the Big Island of Hawaii -- the easternmost island in the chain -- that has been hammered hardest by rain. Lane's threat came as Maui residents battled two brush fires, including one that caused evacuations in a resort area.
Track the storm here
Gov. David Ige said there is still a potential for flooding and first responders remain on the job. Tropical Storm Lane's slow, lingering movement means it will dump more rain in the area, potentially leading to more flooding, CNN meteorologist Robert Shackelford said.
Despite the flooding and landslides making headlines nationwide, many tourists were unfazed, with nearly 300,000 currently visiting the state, US Sen. Mazie Hirono said.

Education Indicators
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
MACD (Moving Average Convergen ...
The MACD indicator was developed by Gerald Appel in the late seventies and it became one of the simplest and most effective momentum indicators available.
The indicator turns two trend-following indicators, moving averages, into a momentum oscillator by subtracting the longer moving average from the shorter one. As a result, the MACD offers the best of both worlds: trend following and momentum.
There are three main components of the MACD:
The MACD Line, which represents the difference between two moving averages;
The Signal Line, which is a moving average of the MACD Line;
The Histogram, which is a graphical representation of the distance between the MACD Line and Signal Line.
As an indicator that detects changes in momentum by comparing two moving averages, it can help traders identify possible buy and sell opportunities around support and resistance levels:
For a potential BUY signal, the shorter-term 12-period exponential moving average (EMA) crosses over the longer-term 26-period EMA.
For a potential SELL signal, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence crosses below the zero line.
It's important to understand that these are two moving averages with different speeds, and one of them will obviously be quicker to react to price movement than the slower one.
In this case, when a potential new trend occurs, the faster line (also called the MACD Line) will react first and eventually cross the slower line (also called the Signal Line).
When the crossover takes place and the fast line starts to move away from the slower line, it will often point out that a new trend has formed.

Lauren Alaina W/ Lauren Hall Sponsored by Kickin' 92.5
Tickets are only $10…Doors 6PM Show at 7PM
All AGE SHOW
Lauren Alaina once told an interviewer that she wanted to perform at the Grand Ole Opry by the time she was 16. "You've got high hopes," she was told. As it turns out, she hadn't begun to envision all that was in store for her before entering her junior year in high school.
She was the runner-up on Season 10 of American Idol, where her strong vocal performances earned comparisons to the genre's premier vocalists, Carrie Underwood and Martina McBride. In January, The New York Times called her "the best singer so far this season." A record-breaking 122.4 million votes were cast for Lauren and Idol winner Scotty McCreery. The final show garnered 29.3 million viewers and 38.6 million people tuned in to see the winner's name announced.
Soon after, she made her much-anticipated Opry debut to sing her debut hit, "Like My Mother Does." "I dreamed since I was a kid of being on that stage because my daddy grew up playing the banjo and he's really good at it," she says. "He always wanted me to perform at the Grand Ole Opry because he never got the chance. When I was little, he told me he wanted me to perform there and it would be as good as him getting to, and he was there. I need someone to pinch me because it was just the way it was supposed to be."
But she barely had time to reflect on her accomplishment because the achievements are coming fast and furious. Last summer, she was a cheerleader and pizza parlor employee. This summer, she signed a record deal with Mercury Nashville/19 Recordings/Interscope, presented at the CMT Music Awards and joined Martina McBride in a duet of "Anyway" at LP Field during CMA Music Fest. She's started recording her debut album and is now on the American Idols Live tour, which travels across the nation through September.
Although the venues and audience sizes have drastically changed in the last year, she's still doing what she's always done–singing for anyone who would listen whenever she got the chance.
She was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., and raised in nearby Rossville, Ga., by her father, J.J., a chemical technician, and mother, Kristy, a transcriptionist. It was a musical household because her mother and older brother, Tyler, sang and her father is a multi-instrumentalist. Her parents played country and rock music in the house and Lauren found that she favored music – adult songs, not those made for children — to television and was especially drawn to Shania Twain, Aerosmith and the Dixie Chicks.
When she was 3, her mother was listening to the Dixie Chicks' "When You Were Mine" until she turned the car off, but Lauren kept singing. "I heard this little voice continue to sing the song," Kristy says. "I absolutely marveled that she stayed with the music and knew every word to the song. We bought the karaoke version of the Dixie Chicks and we would sit Lauren up on the bar where we ate breakfast in my mother-in-law's restaurant. She would perform at 3 and never miss a beat."
Her first public performances came with a kids choir as well as an annual vacation spot that offered karaoke. "I would sing out by the pool deck for everybody," says Lauren, whose parents held the microphone that was too heavy for a 3 year old. "By four, she could sing like an 8 year old," Kristy says. "It was unbelievable." Word soon spread about her talent and she began receiving invitations to perform.
"As a mother, it was just cute," Kristy says. "But when she was six, my sister said, 'This kid really has a gift. You need to enter her in contests.'" Beginning in elementary school, she routinely landed the lead roles in school plays. "One of her little friend wanted the Dorothy role in The Wizard of Oz and the teacher wanted Lauren to be Dorothy," Kristy says. "Lauren pretended to be sick so she didn't take the role. She was bothered that she was beating out these other kids."
At age nine, she wrote her first song, "She's a Miracle," after her aunt was in a car wreck. She sang in church, restaurants, family holiday gatherings and anywhere else. Says Lauren, "I would grab up every opportunity I could," Lauren says. "I would go karaoke at any place within a 30-mile radius of where I lived. I would drive an hour just to sing. Any competition I would hear about I would enter."
At age 8, she entered the talent competition of the Southern Stars Pageant at the last minute and won. The next year she was among those selected to perform on the Kids talent stage at Chattanooga's Riverbend festival. She continued to perform on that stage annually until age 12, when she won the competition at age 12 that allowed her to perform on the festival's big stage. She traveled to Orlando when she was 10 to compete in the American Model and Talent Competition. She won the event, beating out 1,500 kids. She later joined the Georgia Country Gospel Music Association's children's group that performed at places such as Six Flags.
"I started coming to Nashville when I was about 12," she says. "I would go into the bars on Broadway before 6 p.m. and walk up to the people on the stage and ask if I could sing and they would let me. Half the time people weren't listening to me, but I thought I was cool." That's where she developed her stage presence and ability to feed off of a crowd. Offstage, she was continuing to develop as a songwriter and completed 10 that were considered worthy to record, so she began working with two producers about the time that the Idol opportunity presented itself at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.
"I have always wanted to try out," she says. "When they lowered the minimum audition age to 15, I thought it was a sign I needed to try out. It's funny because I actually sang at Tootsies Orchid Lounge the day I auditioned. I sang with the band and they said, 'You need to run across the street and audition for American Idol. I had already auditioned and made it to the next round, but I couldn't tell anybody. I bought a pair of cowboy boots to celebrate."
It was during Idol that she first heard her debut single and first hit, "Like My Mother Does." "When they started playing it for me, I started crying because I went through this whole crazy journey and the only person who was there for me every step of the way was my mom. She didn't get any praises for it and I got all of the attention. I thought the song would be a great way to say thank you for her for all that she does for me. When she came in and heard it, she cried. It was a sign. Everybody was crying, even the piano player."
She's now recording her debut album with Nashville producer Byron Gallimore (Faith Hill, Tim McGraw). "It's definitely going to be country," she says. "I like singing uptempo, but I also like a good ballad every now and then.
"Country music has a way of telling a story that you automatically connect with when you hear it. Country music talks about real-life things that you have really happened, and I love that."
Lauren's debut album will showcase a voice that is mature and powerful beyond its teen years. "She has a very soulful yet country voice and she has tremendous range," Gallimore says. "She is able to cover a lot of ground. I have been really impressed at her 16 years of age that she is able to sing like she does and sell the songs like she does. She sings great and has made these songs her own. They don't sound like anyone else; they sound like Lauren."
She embarks on this next chapter with a newfound confidence and a polished set of performing skills. "I figured out throughout the show that I am who I am and I look the way I look, and the only one who can do anything about it is me," she says. "I learned people actually like my music, which is good to find out, so I am excited about putting the album out. Hopefully people will like it."

ABC News Buried Epstein Story?
In this episode of Truth In Media with Ben Swann, we're taking a look at new footage from Project Veritas revealing that ABC News refused to air an explosive story detailing Epstein's alleged crimes years ago, and a hot mic captures exactly why ABC did so.
Joshua Cook
Joshua Cook is a writer and reporter for Truth In Media. He has interviewed many politicians including Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Walter Jones, Bob Graham, Trey Gowdy and thought leaders who shape U.S. policy. Cook is also an associate producer of the mini documentary: CDC, Vaccines and Autism. If you have any tips please email him at joshua@truthinmedia.com. Find him on Twitter @RealJoshuaCook
In an exclusive interview with TruthInMedia.com's Joshua Cook, Curt Ellis, who heads a Washington think tank, said that he was pleased to see Sen. Rand Paul and other presidential candidates oppose the secret and controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership (ObamaTrade).
The problem with the Trans-Pacific Partnership is that most in Congress doesn't know what is in the agreement. According to Ellis, it includes an entire chapter on immigration. "It is a Trojan horse for Obama's immigration agenda," writes Ellis in his latest article at TheHill.com.
According to AmericanThinker.com, "Senator Ted Cruz plans to propose an amendment that would prevent Obama from using his Fast-Track power to change federal immigration law."
But Ellis takes issue with Cruz's strategy.
"The thing to remember about Ted Cruz's amendment is that it's meaningless," said Ellis. "Ted Cruz's amendment becomes trash."
"That's a well known Supreme Court doctrine that this Congress can't tell a future Congress what to do. You can't write a law to say that this law can never be changed."
Ellis told Cook:
"'Obamatrade' is the name we've given to the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which is one of the so-called free trade agreements the Obama folks have been negotiating on their own, in secret, without consulting Congress for the past six years," explained Curtis Ellis.
"We call it 'Obamatrade,' because like 'Obamacare' it's a situation where Congress is going to have to pass it, to find out what's in it. It's so complicated. It's so dense. And it's so involved," he explained.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is indeed complicated. Obama is also asking Congress to fast track trade promotion authority, which fundamentally changes how the American government conducts business.
"Congress would not be able to amend as much as one word of what the president writes," he said.
"What this fast track trade promotion authority does is it turns the Constitution on its head where you've got the President writing this massive agreement that affects our entire economy. And he writes it and all Congress can do is vote it up or down. They can't amend it. They can't do their due diligence and do the deliberation necessary."
Therefore, the best thing for Cruz to do is join other presidential candidates like Sen. Rand Paul, Gov. Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Former Gov. Mike Huckabee and Donald Trump who all openly oppose Obama's secret trade deal, which critics call NAFTA on steroids.
If the TPP is passed, its regulations would override U.S. law, stripping the U.S. of its sovereignty and open the way for "backdoor" amnesty.

What if I told you there was such a thing as mess-free painting for toddlers? You wouldn't believe me. I didn't believe that such a thing existed either until the wonderful team at Galt Toys introduced me to their Painting Sticks. Mess-free, colourful paintings galore!
These amazing paint sticks come in a pack of 6 and contains yellow, orange, red, green, blue and purple sticks (one of each colour). They work like a lipstick and are a similar size too! Simply remove the lid, twist the base to push the paint stick up and you're ready to create some amazing pictures!
The paint dries super quick within seconds and doesn't sit wet on paper like traditional paints do. You don't need any paint brushes or water, and I love that the paints don't all run into each other making a wet yucky mess! Clear, bright and beautiful paintings created with ease.
These Galt Painting Sticks kept Ivy (aged 2) busy for hours. She seemed to enjoy the painting sticks just as much as ordinary paint. I know that she has played with painting sticks before, as I have some wonderful pictures that she has created at nursery using them.
I could easily get them out of the craft box and give them straight to Ivy. She could remove and replace the lids herself and twist up the paint sticks when needed. She soon learnt that because the Painting Sticks were quite soft, not too press too hard. Ivy loved the Painting Sticks and created some amazing paintings. She is always asking for the Sticks now, and for once I don't silently sigh when she says that wants to paint! An instant win all round!
Galt Painting Sticks are available to buy directly from the Galt website or from Amazon. The Painting Sticks are £4.99 for a pack of 6.
My Mom and I took painting lessons from Vi, maybe in the late 70s or 80s, at a "studio at Shadle Park in Spokane. She directed us through paintings in oils, all of us working on the same picture. I quit painting when my full time teaching job took up too much time, but my mom, Lorene Remmers, kept going to lessons with Vi for years. And Mom kept painting on her own, but always kept in touch with Vi. Vi visited my folks on one of her motor home trips after she left Spokane. When I wrote to Vi telling her of Mom"s passing February of 2017, she wrote back saying that she wanted Mom to keep the door to heaven open for her, as she wanted to join her soon. My family and many friends have beautiful oil paintings hanging on our walls.thank you, Vi.
Miller, its 2010 president, is happy to appoint Ivy as its EVP/CEO. He welcomed Ivy to the AIA fold and praised him saying that he possesses the combination of corporate leadership talents and comprehensive industry experience that will work to the benefit of the AIA Board. He then added that these qualities of Ivy will improve the AIA, perhaps referring to the ways the organization will be able to use his abilities to achieve its goals. As an architect, Ivy's skills and talents have been recognized by his peers.


When was the last time you and your partner really had fun together? When was the last time you were truly playing together?
When working with couples at the Center for Couples and Families, one of the most consistent questions I ask to evaluate the current vitality of their relationship is about their level of fun and play. I've found in both my therapeutic and educational settings that couples overwhelmingly underestimate the power of play and fun in their long-term relationships. In fact, two findings consistently show up in the research: 1. Couples give too little notice to fun and play in their relationship and, 2. playing together and having fun is a key contributor to marital happiness among couples.
You might contend, "We are too busy for fun." If this is your sentiment, let me be the first to validate that concern. Yes! our lives have become increasingly busy. Having fun just doesn't seem productive when there are jobs to go to, rooms clean, kids to feed, and activities to attend. I know. It's tough. However, humor me and let's see if I can bring in another perspective to the importance of fun and play in marriage.
Dr. John Gottman, an award-winning marital researcher, has interviewed and observed couples in his "love lab" for the last twenty-five years. He found that when couples maintain at least five times as many positive interactions as they do negative interactions their relationship is more likely to be stable. However, few people have wedding vows that state, "I promise to make this relationship stable all of our married life." At the genesis of most marriages, couples hope for their relationship to be full of vitality and happiness for the length of their lives. Thus, the goal for couples should be to have 10 to 20 times as many positives as they do negatives. I believe the main reason this is important is because during times of tension, conflict, or frustration, if you don't have a reservoir of positive interactions stored up, the negative interaction can drain any positive feelings you have for your partner and create more tension than the issue probably deserves.
So, what is a positive interaction? A positive interaction is any pleasant interaction (great or small) where a bond is strengthened and fortified. Therefore, having fun and playing together as a couple is a form of positive interactions. This can include dates, surprises, romantic acts, flirtations, appreciation, physical affection, or just plain silliness. An example of a simple positive interaction occurred the other night between my wife and me. As we were winding down from the day, she found an app on her phone where one can take a picture and manipulate a self-photo with crazy hair, make-up, morph their face, and so on. We sat there for about 15-20 minutes making a variety of different silly pictures of me, her, and other family members. It was fun, silly, and, most importantly, bonding. That simple act, created a positive interaction between the two of us.
1. Separately write down five ideas of things that would be fun.
2. Together share your ideas and be open to your partner's ideas.
3. Do your best to engage in activities that are, for the most part, fun for both partners. But also try to stretch yourself a little.
4. Make a plan for this upcoming weekend to engage in one of the activities.
5. Finally, make a point to not shy away from moments in your day together where you could be more spontaneously playful, affectionate, flirtatious, and/or silly.
Make fun and play a healthy habit in your relationship and watch the fruits begin to blossom.

Middle Powers in International Relations
By Allan Patience

This article was originally published by E-International Relations (E-IR) on 8 May 2017.
Realism's theoretical dominance in International Relations (IR) – especially its focus on the power of superpowers and its state-centric view of international society – has been challenged by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the global transformations characterising the post-Cold War era. One of those transformations is the way in which "states neither great nor small" are gaining increased recognition amid the disruptive multi-polarity of the current global disorder. Scholars such as Martin Wight and Carsten Holbraad, whose earlier writings about middle powers were overlooked in mainstream IR, are now acknowledged for their scholarly prescience. Bringing middle powers back into mainstream IR theorising is obviously overdue. There are two problems in the theorising of middle powers in contemporary IR scholarship that obscure their positioning and potential in post-Cold War international politics: (1) its intellectual history has been neglected; (2) "middle power" itself is a vague concept.

The neglected intellectual history of middle powers
The ranking of states hierarchically (big, small, middle sized) is by no means a modern (or even post-modern) invention. In ancient China and classical Greece the organisation of political communities and their status relative to each other was of great interest to thinkers as diverse as the Chinese sage Mencius (?372-289 BCE or ?385-303 BCE), and the Athenian philosopher Socrates (469-399 BCE).

The ARF Moves forward on Cybersecurity

This article was originally published by Pacific Forum CSIS on 16 May 2017.
The Wannacry virus that attacked computers around the world last week is one more reminder of the growing threat posed by vulnerabilities in cyberspace. Over 100,000 networks in over 150 countries were infected by the malware; the actual ransoms paid appear to have been limited, but the total cost of the attack – including, for example, the work hours lost – is not yet known. Experts believe that this is only the most recent in what will be a cascading series of attacks as information technologies burrow deeper into the fabric of daily life; security specialists already warn that the next malware attack is already insinuated into networks and is awaiting the signal to begin.
Cyber threats are climbing steadily up the list of Asia-Pacific security concerns. Experts reckon that cyber crime inflicted $81 billion in damage to the Asia Pacific region in 2015 and the number of such incidents is growing. Online radicalization and other content-related issues pose expanding threats to the region, challenging national narratives and in some cases undermining government legitimacy and credibility. The networks and technologies that are increasingly critical to the very functioning of societies are vulnerable and those vulnerabilities are being distributed as regional governments are more intimately connected and more deeply integrated in economic communities. One recent study concludes that an ASEAN digital revolution could propel the region into the top five digital economies in the world by 2025, adding as much as $1 trillion in regional GDP over a decade. This growth and prosperity are threatened by proliferating cyber threats.

Evaluating Malaysia's ASEAN Chairmanship
By Sanchita Basu Das
Flag of Malaysia. Image: Eric Teoh/flickr
This article was originally published by the East Asia Forum on 5 December, 2015.
Malaysia ended its chairmanship of ASEAN as the grouping announced the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in November 2015. The AEC intends to create a single market across the ASEAN region by standardising economic regulations including those on trade, flows of financial capital and labour migration. Malaysia is one of a few ASEAN countries that have pushed most strongly for initiatives to enhance intraregional economic cooperation. But there may be cause for disappointment in what Malaysia has achieved as ASEAN's chair.
While ASEAN has announced that it has achieved more than 90 per cent of AEC targets, this does not appear to have brought many tangible benefits for either the region's business community or ordinary people. Businesses continue to complain about overlapping rules and regulations that raise their costs when trading and doing business across borders. Though 10 countries have signed onto a framework that intends to direct the movement of skilled labour in the region, actual movement remains subject to the policies of individual nations. Ordinary people are yet to acknowledge that ASEAN initiatives have resulted in higher income and more job opportunities. » More

This manual describes how to interface DLN-series adapters from C and C++ programming languages.
The first chapter describes how to configure the C/C++ project and establish a connection to the DLN series adapter. It also contains overall overview of the interface and types of messages used to send data between computer and adapter.
Every subsequent chapter describes the particular interface. It starts with a theoretical introduction of how this interface can be used and configured. The last section in each chapter contains the detailed reference for all functions, structures and events associated with this interface.
You are not required to use C or C++ programming language to interface the DLN series adapters. Most of the programming languages can use C-style shared libraries (DLL in Windows), while the function-calling conventions may differ. That should not be a problem, because most programming languages can call functions supplied by the operation system. These functions are mostly implemented in C-style shared libraries. If you experience problems with interfacing the dln.dll library from your application, feel free to submit a question to the dlnware.com forum.
We provide the specialized libraries, examples and API documentation for .Net languages and LabView.
The documentation is constantly growing with new content. If you can't find the required information, please post a question to the dlnware.com forum and our engineers will assist you.
