FORGETTING TO REMOVE NAIL POLISH BEFORE PRAYING - OKAY?
In order to wudoo' to be valid, it is essential to remove anything that prevents the water from reaching the skin, such as oil, nail polish, wax or band-aids. Prayers offered in that state are invalid and not acceptable.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo' (1/493): If there is wax, dough, henna and the like on one of his limbs, which prevents water from reaching any part of it, then his tahaarah is not valid, whether the amount is large or small. If there are traces of henna and its colour left on the hand, without there being any solid material left, or elsewhere, or traces of liquid grease whereby water flows over the limb but does not stay there, his tahaarah is valid. End quote.
If the colour is impermeable, then wudoo' is not valid unless it is removed before doing wudoo'. If it is not impermeable, then wudoo' is valid, as is the case with henna. End quote.
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said, commenting on this hadeeth: This hadeeth demonstrates that if a person omits a small spot of that which must be purified, his purification is not valid, and this is something on which the scholars are agreed. … This hadeeth also indicates that if a person omits washing any part of his body and purifying himself out of ignorance, his purification is not valid. End quote from Saheeh Muslim.
If I forget, when doing wudoo', to wash a small part of that which is washed during wudoo', then I remember it straight after doing wudoo', should I repeat wudoo' or is it sufficient just to wash that part?
Correct sequence is one of the conditions of wudoo' being valid. If a person forgets to wash one of the parts of the body that are washed during wudoo', or a part thereof, even if it is small, if that happens during wudoo' or immediately after, and the traces of the water are still on his body and have not yet dried, then he should only wash what he forgot and whatever comes after that.
But if he remembers that he forgot to wash one of the parts that should be washed in wudoo', or a part thereof, after his body has become dry, or he remembers that whilst praying or after he has prayed, then he should do a new wudoo' from the beginning, as Allah has prescribed, and he should repeat the prayer in full, because there was no continuity in this case and a long time has passed since he finished doing wudoo'. Allah has enjoined washing all the parts of the body required in wudoo', so if he omits any part, even if it is small, of the parts that are to be washed in wudoo', it is as if he did not wash it at all. This is indicated in the report narrated by 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (ra): The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) saw a man doing wudoo' and he omitted a space the size of a fingernail on his foot, so he told him to repeat the wudoo' and the prayer; so he did wudoo' again and then prayed. A similar report was narrated by Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawood.
And Allah is the source of strength. May Allah sent blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions. End quote.

AMSTERDAM — Feb. 5, 2019 — Biamp's revolutionary Crowd Mics™ audience engagement solution transforms every smartphone and tablet into a personal microphone and interactive response system, creating an extraordinary experience for event attendees and moderators alike. At Stand 3-B120 at ISE 2019, Biamp will demonstrate how Crowd Mics puts the power of a personal, wireless microphone into audience members' hands, eliminating the need to hand microphones around the room and creating a truly dynamic interactive presentation or event.
Designed for presentations, lectures, panel discussions, and other presenter/audience events, Crowd Mics is hosted on a small hardware appliance — the ATOM — that supports up to 1,000 event participants. The ATOM connects directly to the room's audio system via USB or balanced audio outputs, includes the option to present video via HDMI, and provides moderators full access to the event's participation log, including questions asked and poll results.
Audience members connect to the ATOM using a free iOS or Android app installed on their phone or tablet. The app lets event participants use their smartphones as a personal wireless microphone and give access to standard audience engagement tools like polls and messaging. The separate Crowd Mics moderator application allows a presenter or moderator to select who will speak next, create and publish polls, and select audience text comments to be pushed to the room's AV presentation system.
The original Crowd Mics application was purchased by Biamp in 2018 from Crowd Mics founder Tim Holladay in Biamp's first acquisition under resident and CEO Rashid Skaf. Mr. Holladay is joining Biamp at ISE as a special guest and will promote the launch of the product in the Biamp booth.
Biamp's offerings for larger spaces combine flexible network architecture, simplified installation features and a unique, integrated audio and video platform to create an unbeatable toolset for designers and installers alike. Like other Biamp devices, Crowd Mics can be easily managed through Biamp's SageVue™ 2.0 browser-based monitoring and management platform.

Last quarter of 2017 brought US$1.3 billion to Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform which was greater than the combined return of four of its competitors namely- Microsoft, Alibaba, Google and IBM. It is worth noting that this lead has encouraged AWS to enter into the field of Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT). Earlier AWS's portfolio included Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a service (PaaS) offerings only. After it already claimed the cloud computing market, AWS is extremely enthusiastic about exploring new areas. And to appropriate this, it has put at disposal number of branch services divided specifically for data analytics, AI and IoT.
With built-in integration to Kibana and Logstash, Amazon Elasticsearch comes with real-time analytics delivery and easy to use APIs. It can be utilized for log analytics, full-text search and application monitoring. It provides free access to elasticsearch APIs to integrate the code already in use.
Amazon Athena has this incredible query running service where you only pay for the queries you run and that too on a platform as easy as SQL. It allows you to analyze data on Amazon S3 using SQL. It is serverless that brings it into the category of those with absolutely zero infrastructure requirements. The fact that it uses SQL makes it accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of query. This also reduces the overhead costing of the database administrator.
It helps the users to analyze data with the already present business intelligence tools and dashboards. It allows you to load streaming data into analytics tools. Apart from this, it loads streaming data onto Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Elasticsearch Service and Splunk. The amazing technique of minimizing data before loading it reduces the amount of storage leveraged.
It helps you build your own application to analyze streaming data for customization needs. It can collect humongous data from various sources at one time like websites, transactions to be further analyzed.
It facilitates real-time insights from streaming data and that too only with the use of SQL. It further allows you to build applications to query streaming data. This ensures that customer requests are answered promptly.
It is a cloud platform that allows connected devices communicate and function among themselves and with other cloud applications. Talking about the storage, it can store huge amount of data and send the same to AWS endpoints after processing them. To keep track of all your devices, AWS IoT Core gives you the pleasure of doing that without having them connected.
Its major task is to let you remotely manage your IoT devices. Moreover, it also facilitates the remote registration for the devices which then can be monitored, organized and controlled via AWS IoT device management console. It also lets you group your devices and cater to their functionality.
The specific task of the aforesaid feature is to allow you to secure your fleet of IoT devices. It keeps your IoT in compliance with the security policies and keeps a continuous track of them to not make them deviate. Device identity, other authorizing modules, all come under security policies. It reminds you in case of a breach of security policy for you to attend it.
As the name suggests it allows you to analyze all your data from various IoT devices making you free from the headache of cost or complexity. It brings you the most reliable and easy way to analyze the IoT data in order to gather insights. Due to the harsh source, IoT data is often corrupted and unstructured which is why the normal analytics tools fail to structure and organize it.
It is majorly for the connected devices wherein it allows them to run on AWS lambda functions for synchronization and uninterrupted inter-device communication. Apart from this, it offers facilities like local compute, messaging, caching, and sync for the connected devices.
It helps in triggering the AWS Lambda functions to perform a specific task. Specifically, it makes this task comparatively easier for simple devices. Simple devices are usually cloud-connected.
Based on FreeRTOS kernel, Amazon FreeRTOS works on microcontrollers. It acts as an OS for microcontroller thereby making low-power and small devices easy to program, connect and manage. It has amazing software libraries that make it easy for the small devices to connect to AWS cloud services.
In the field of artificial intelligence, AWS has launched various services for quaint needs and requirements.
For seamless speech-to-text capabilities and services, there is Amazon Transcribe. It also provides services for the audio files stored in Amazon S3.
For high-quality and error-free translation, AWS has Amazon Translate. It can handle and translate relatively large volumes of data.
Amazon Comprehend is a Natural Language Processing service that utilizes machine learning algorithms to extract relevant phrases, text groups and then organizes them into customized topics as the end result.
Amazon Rekognition allows analyzing images and videos. You just have to feed the image or video and it will automatically scrutinize it for any negative or positive insights. It also provides facial recognition services.
In order to build conversational interfaces using voice or texts, Amazon Lex is the solution. It makes use of ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) for speech to text conversion. It uses Natural Language Understanding for analyzing and manipulating the input for producing results.
Amazon Polly allows building applications for text to speech conversion. It uses deep technologies that make the end result having uncanny similarities with a human voice.
Amazon Sagemaker is a knight in shining armor for developers and data scientists. It facilitates the building, training and deployment of machine learning models.
When the developer intends to enhance their machine learning skills they turn to AWS DeepLens. It is a deep learning enabled wireless video camera that comes with video tutorials, hands-on exercises on pre-built models for developers to get hold of it.

Home › Affiliate Marketing Blog › Free seo transcript!
I've been very sick these last few days so I apologize for not updating my blog sooner.
I'll keep this short as I'm still not that well yet.
Here is the video transcript of the beginners SEO video (which has been recently added to the members area of Affilorama, along with advanced videos and a step by step workbook is about to be added).
This is for those of you who can't afford Affilorama, it's not as easy to digest as having the video lessons plus workbook etc, and the other video lessons but it does contain a lot of valuable information that you need to know, so go get it here (now removed sorry).
If anyone wants a rebranded version with their affiliate links embedded into it, feel free to email me and I can arrange that for you.
Yes you can all give this away to others if you want to! Or offer it as a free bonus with any products, etc.
Update: I forgot to mention, I've been talking with Brett McFall, founder of the World Internet Summit (www.worldinternetsummit.com), and he has agreed to let me purchase some tickets in bulk at much lower price than what they are being sold at on the world internet summit site.
I want to do this for YOU my newsletter/blog readers, I am thinking of buying 20 tickets, which Brett says I will be able to purchase for $7940. I just want to make sure that people reading this blog will actually want them. Remember I am not going to take any affiliate commission on these, this is purely for those of you who are interested in attending and would like to save about $600 off the retail price.
The World Internet Summit will be on September 14-17 in Las Vegas, I will be there too. Anyway let me know if you are interested in going, so I know if I should bulk buy.
Thanks for the transcript, very helpful!
Thanks for the transcript, I'm learning lots, once again you've overdelivered!
In the transcript, one thing that Marc Lindsay mentions is that 2-3 percent is a good value for keyword density. Does it really have to be that high? I've tried rewording documents to that high percentage and it seems to read funny.
I'd love to come to the world internet summit, count me in if you manage to get enough people to buy in bulk!

Production & Cast
The AirportIreland West Airport Knock (formerly known as Knock Airport) is one of the great against-the-odds success stories of modern Ireland. The idea of an airport for the Knock region was mooted as early as 1935, and Father James Horan was part of a delegation from the Knock Development Association which, during the 1960s, sought in vain an airstrip to cater for pilgrims. When the project got going in the wake of Pope John Paul II's visit to Knock in 1979, it was much derided, called a 'white elephant' and was the subject of much political controversy. The proposal got government backing in 1980, and the first sod was cut by Minister for Transport Albert Reynolds the following year, but many obstacles had to be overcome before the first commercial flights took off in 1985. The airport was officially opened in May 1986, months before Monsignor Horan, the airport's driving force, died in Lourdes. Within two years, annual passengers numbers had exceeded 100,000, and that figure had doubled by the turn of the century. The first snow and ski charters took off from the airport in 2004, and the airport reached the milestone of over half a million annual passengers the…
Mgr James HoranThe driving force behind the establishment of the airport, James Horan (1911-1986) was born in Tooreen, in the parish of Partry, in west County Mayo, the son of a farmer and tradesman. He was the eldest of seven children – four girls and three boys. He attended primary school in Partry and won a scholarship to St Jarlath's Diocesan College in Tuam, County Galway. In 1929, he went to Maynooth College to train for the priesthood, and was ordained in 1936. He spent three years in Glasgow, in the parish of Dumbarton, and in 1939, he returned home to become Chaplain to the Franciscan monastery in Ballyglunin, in the Archdiocese of Tuam. After only two months there, he was transferred to Tiernea in the parish of Carraroe in County Galway, where he became fluent in the Irish language. In 1944 he returned to his native Mayo, working as a curate in Tooreen in the parish of Aghamore. He was responsible for the introduction of electricity to the area, and was probably best known at that time as the promoter of Tooreen Hall. After 14 years in Tooreen, Fr Horan left in July 1959 to go to his next parish, Cloonfad.…

NEW YORK: Three of my Hanley relatives (currently living in Dublin) saw the Musical this time around and absolutely loved it; the story line and music were quite memorable for them. I offer my congratulations to all, creator, writers, the cast and all involved. I know that the Play may be too big to take on the road but if you ever need a connection over here, I would be happy to be that person (or one of them anyway).
TENNESSEE: Wonderful to hear about all the packed shows, and gor such a great cause. A wonderful piece of art has been created!
DUBLIN: What a great show! Travelled from Dublin and came away lifted. Bring it up to Dublin and let them see what the West is capable of.
LONDON: Flew over for the show, into Knock. Fantastic night. Monsignor Horan would have smiled. Long live the dream. The West End surely beckons!
TRIBUTES POUR IN FROM MANY PARTS
GALWAY: We truly enjoyed it. It was a fantastic production and a great cast and I won't be surprised to see it being brought over to the US. And of course the TF is a fantastic venue. I am now going off to buy the book.

Standing ovations!
Posted on November 28th, 2010 by Terry Reilly
Standing ovations greeted the premiere performances of on On a Wing and A Prayer- The musical in The Royal Theatre Castlebar, Co Mayo (Nov 25 to 27). Despite blinding snow and icy conditions, the impressive theatre, which accommodates 2,000 people, was packed, and the Mayo Roscommon Hospice received all monies from the performances.
There were 125 actors/singers/dancers of all ages on the stage, 99 per cent of whom were amateurs, but ever so professional. The singing was out of the top drawer, the music unlifting and unspiring as the story of Monsignor James Horan unwound in colourful detail over almost 2 and a half hours.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, people travelled from all over the country, from surrounding counties, from Dublin, from the north of Ireland and from England for the premiere.
The attendance on various nights included former Government minister Padraig Flynn and airport builder Frank Harrington and family members of the Horan family, and also family members of the team who formed the initial Board of Connaugh Regional Airport, later Horan International Airport, now called Ireland West Airport Knock, and perhaps more commonly known as Knock Airport.
People have been ringing n to the local radio station, Mid West Radio, asking when will be show be perfomed again, if it is going to Dublin, to England or America? No decisions have been taken on future dates/locations…first everyone will enjoy a well earned rest! Terry Reilly, the creator and co-writer with Tommy Marren, said the response of the public was most heartening, and he had been inundated with telephone calls from well -wishers.
On final night on stage Terry Reilly said he was humbled at the magnificence of the cast and production, and humbled by the support from the general public, and said that though Ireland was going through a tough economic phase, the resilience of the people would see us through, as they had when Monsignor James Horan was building his airport in the dark and dreary 1980s.
Tommy Marren, who also produced the show and was the narrator, said it had been an amazing journey over many months of auditions and rehearsals, and he too paid tribute to the cast and backstage crew, designers, and the many who had worked behind the scenes. Special tribute was accorded to Lavinia Slater-Gilmartin, the musical director, who worked wonders to ensure a musically brilliant and entertaining show.
To mark their input presentations were made by Ollie Rouse (who played the older Monsignor Horan so brilliantly) on behalf of the cast to Terry Reilly, Tommy Marren, Lavinia Slater-Gilmartin and Cynthia Clampett, Co-Ordinator, CEO of Mayo Roscommon Hospice and who also played Dame Judy Coyne in the show. A number of other presentations were also made to members of the cast and backstage crew, including Eileen Slevin who did a brilliant job as set designer. See cast list under Production & Cast .
Mayo Man of the Year Joe Kennedy, who was Chief Patron of the show, was unstinting in his praise of the production. The attendance included a visiting party under the Peace 111 initiative from Banbridge, Co Down, and from Belfast, who were brought to the show by Sean and Peggy Owens of the Banada (Co Sligo) Development Agency.
Also in the attendance was former Mayo All-Ireland winner of 1950/51 Fr Peter Quinn, Liam Scollan, Joe Gilmore and staff from Ireland West Airport; Peter Hynes, Mayo County Manager; Chairperson of the Western Development Commission, Michael Farrell; Sean Hannick, Chair Council for the West, Archbishop Michael Neary of Tuam, V Rev Joseph Quinn, PP Knock, and members of the regional media, members of the Mayo Associaiton in Dublin.
Master of Ceremonies each night was the popular Gerry Glennon, of Mid West Radio.
Stay tuned for future updates and scroll on for previous news!

The story of how a west of Ireland priest convinced the Irish government to build an airport in the middle of a disadvantaged, depopulated region in East Mayo when the country was in dire financial straits will be retold when 'On A Wing and a Prayer – The Musical' takes to the stage.
Author Terry Reilly, who wrote the best-selling book On A Wing and a Prayer, has adapted the work for a stage production that will bring to life the many herculean undertakings and amazing achievements of Monsignor James Horan, parish priest of Knock, told in word and song.
The event will have its world premiere in November at the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, Co Mayo. All proceeds from those four shows (which run from November 25-27, 2010) will go to the Mayo/Roscommon Hospice Foundation.

England men's head coach Eddie Jones has announced a squad of 29 players to attend a training camp at Pennyhill Park next week (June 23-27).
Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins), Lewis Ludlam (Northampton Saints), Ruaridh McConnochie (Bath Rugby) and Val Rapava Ruskin (Gloucester Rugby) receive their first call up to an England senior men's training squad.
Chris Robshaw and Danny Care have been left out of the squad for the five-day camp in Surrey. Flanker Robshaw, 33, was England's 2015 World Cup captain, but he last featured for his country a year ago, and 32-year-old scrum-half Care did not gain selection during last season's Six Nations.
Bristol-bound number eight Nathan Hughes also misses out, and whether another absentee – Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley – is called into camp at any point this summer remains to be seen.
Hartley, who led England to Six Nations titles in 2016 and 2017, has not played for six months due to a knee problem and it is understood that he is still struggling with the issue.

The week is the first of two training camps, held at Pennyhill Park and the Lensbury (June 30-July 4), before the first official Rugby World Cup training camp begins on July 7 at the Lensbury.
Players attending the camp at Pennyhill Park will not have featured in the Gallagher Premiership semi-finals or final, outside of Ludlam and Rapava Ruskin.
Both players and a small number involved in the Quilter Cup match against the Barbarians will be managed to ensure their post-season active rest periods are fulfilled in agreement with Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Players Association.
Eddie Jones has often spoken about the need for 600 plus caps in any World Cup squad but has ruled out 247 caps worth of experience by leaving Dylan Hartley (97), Danny Care (84) and Chris Robshaw (66) out. #rugby

Jones said: "The first two England training camps are designed to improve individual players' fundamentals to allow them to compete for a place in the Rugby World Cup squad."
England's official Rugby World Cup training squad will be announced by Jones at Japan House on Thursday, July 4.
England will play Wales (August 11) and Ireland (August 24) at Twickenham Stadium and Italy (September 6) in Newcastle as part of the Quilter Internationals as well as an away fixture against Wales (August 17) in Cardiff.
Legends will be made.

Fiche biographique n° 262
Nom LINDNER, Rudi
Année de naissance --
Pays Allemagne
Activité(s) Pilote
Biographie Soon after his double Nordic World Chanpionship win, Lindner became heavily involved in the design and construction of the first glass reinforced plastic composite gliders. This was at least partly due to his modelling connections.
The first glass glider, the FS-24 Phönix, was designed by Herman Nägele and Richard Eppler (both modellers). Rudi Lindner joined the team during construction but probably had no hand in the design. It first flew in 1957 and was an immediate success. It had the then unheard of glide ratio of 40:1. Eight examples were built. Most were still flying in 2000.
The second glass glider to be built was the Hirth Hi-25 Kria. It was designed by Wolf Hirth, who had been involved in sport gliding since 1921. He was one of the true pioneers and a founder of the well-known Schlemp-Hirth firm. Lindner was probably involved in building the Kria and was the test pilot.
The Phoebus, one of the first designs specifically for the Standard Class, was a joint effort by Nägele, Eppler and Lindner, with Rudi doing the test flying and scoring its first competition placings. It's first flight was in 1964. Production ceased in 1970 after a total of 253 (A,B and C models combined) had been made. A number of these are still flying.
Lindner's activities during the second half of the 1950s are documented in much greater detail in Sailplanes 1945-1960 by Martin Simons (Eqip, 2002).
Lindner then founded Fiberglas-Technik Lindner GmbH & Co. KG, which is currently run by his son. It provides repair and post-sales modification services to composite glider pilots. The firm designs, makes and sells winglets for the Phoebus, ASW-20 and Grob Twin III Acro. They also make a tail wheel that fits all Schlemp-Hirth and Grob single seaters.

PRS tracks the functioning of the Indian Parliament and works with MPs from the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha across political parties and MLAs from various states. PRS provides a comprehensive and credible resource base to access Parliament-specific data, background information on Parliamentary and governance processes and analysis of key legislative and policy issues.
The PRS staff consists of a team of dedicated professionals with different areas of expertise, and is broadly divided into the research and outreach departments. While the research team analyses legislative and policy issues of topical interest, the outreach team tracks the working of the legislatures and legislators, manages citizen engagement and is PRS's interface with the MPs and MLAs. A prospective intern can apply for an internship in either/ both departments.
The internship varies from session to non-session time. During a Parliament session, PRS's work is guided by the issues taken up in Parliament and interns are expected to work with the analysts on any and all projects. During non-session periods, the interests of the individual intern are taken into consideration, and he/she is matched with an analyst(s) doing related work.
The successful completion of a PRS internship requires the intern to pursue and complete an internship project. The intern will be assisting analysts in their research, as well as undertaking an internship project.
The duration of the internship is flexible, but is normally between four and eight weeks.
PRS is only accepting applications for internships starting November and December 2020.

Paramatman - Sin & Salvation - BPAL Madness!
Like two birds of golden plumage, inseparable companions, the individual self and the immortal Self are perched on the branches of the selfsame tree. The former tastes of the sweet and bitter fruits of the tree; the latter, tasting of neither, calmly observes.
Orange blossom, East Indian sandalwood, and champaca.
I get Orange Blossom right after application and then it turns into this spicy woodsy scent on my skin. The East Indian Sandalwood steals the show. Something in the spice actually makes my nasal membranes burn a little when I sniff this scent too much.
I can tell this is going right to my top ten list!
Dry: OMG!! Gorgeous champaca-city! Really rich, beautiful champaca, with a touch of sandalwood. The orange is gone, but not even missed.
Can't get enough - nose stuck to hand - might as well just put some on my upper lip.
Oh, this is lovely. All three notes are so balanced and perfect together. The orange blossom dominates but there's dry sandalwood to keep it from being too sweet and flowery and the champaca gives this a beautiful incensey feeling. Gorgeous and very feminine--I love this!
Paramatman - I really thought I would like this one, but on my skin, the orange blossom screws up the loveliness of the sandalwood and champaca. The overall effect of the scent is a bitter and cloyingly powdery-sweet wood blend. It's just really odd on me. Orange blossom is one of those "iffy" notes on me, and this is one of the cases where it doesn't turn out so well. Oh well, I'll just try something else.
This reminds me really strongly of Vixen, but with a more noticeable orange blossom note. The sandalwood/champaca blend is nice and calming and the orange blossom sort of floats over it. It's really pretty, but I'm not sure it's so different from Vixen that I'd need a bottle of Paramatman as well. I'll have to play around more with my imp.
I love this! In the bottle it smells like pure, simple Nag Champa single note (which I dig).
On the skin though, it smells like a really, really nice mix of Scherezade and Brown Jenkins. Two of my favorite BPALs in the whole of Bpal-dom. So.....win!
I'm really enjoying this and I'm going to cherish Paramatman. Thank you Beth for another stellar scent...and a possible signature scent for me!
ETA: 4 days later and I'm loving this even more. I think this may be a new #1 for me. I don't get much orange blossom at all, it's mostly nag champa with a smidge of sandalwood. I'm hoping with age the sandalwood comes out a bit more...but either way, I love it. I see many bottles in my future!
When I first applied it, I got soapy orange blossom. I don't think orange blossom likes my skin very much, so I was expecting this.
As it dries the champaca comes out a lot. I get the sandalwood, and it's kind of dry and slightly sweet. The champaca is still dominant though, with the sharp orange blossom underneath.
After about half an hour, it's very faint. It smells mostly of incense with some dry sandalwood. The orange blossom has completely faded.
OMG this is an amazing scent on me!! Orange blossom first in the wet stage then the sandalwood starts to peak out and just deepens into something wonderful and a wee bit spicy and sweet. This is definitely now one of my top 10 and will be ordering another bottle next update!
I'm getting orange incense from this pretty much straight off the bat. On my skin, it's sandalwood and champaca and a bit of orange in there somewhere. This will prolly not turn out well.
imp: beautiful champaca and sandalwood. very incens-y.
wet: there is a hint of orange blossom but it's faint and quickly fades. this is straight-up champaca incense on me.
dry: this is a little more sandalwood as it dries but it still smells strongly of incense. i like this blend far more than i expected to.
I get a hint of clean, sweet orange blossom at first, but after five minutes this is all sandalwood and hints of incense. The sandalwood here is darker and more woodsy than the white sandalwood, but still similarly powdery and clean.
It's like dry wood, baby powder, and a hint of sweet incense smoke. Very heavy on the sandalwood. This one does have decent throw and staying power (lasts about 5 hours on me), but I don't love how dry it is or the powdery edge from the sandalwood. I wish that the orange blossom were stronger.
This is one of those 'does exactly what it says on the tin' scents for me, which is nice, as I was hoping for exactly that. It's a beautiful blend, a bit import-store-ish from the sandalwood and champaca, but the orange blossom brings it up to the level of a wearable perfume (for me).
Not something I'd wear everyday, but on a hot summer night, when I want to be put in mind of a grove of orange blossoms in India? Perfect. I may take it on a cruise sometime; seems like it'd be appropriate for that.
Wears gently, throws moderately, lasts for a few hours and vanishes gracefully.
Hmm. When I first tried this I got much more orange blossom but now its almost purely sandalwood and champaca. Its very soothing but it is very similar to other blends- I agree with those that said it smells of Sherezade. Its probably Sherezade light. I enjoy it but probably not enough to warrant a bottle.
Orange blossom usually loves me but not here. Sigh.
When I started reading the reviews for this, it sounded very similar how Kuang Shi smelled to me, which I love (gorgeous orange blossom and sandlewood).
For the folks who didn't care for Kuang Shi, this may be a great alternative.
I love all three notes, so I knew that I had to order a bottle of this. I was hoping that the champaca would be light because I have Panther Moon and Cracked Bell, both of which have a pronounced champaca note and I wanted something a little different. On me, this is perfect and exactly what I wanted. It's strongest on the orange blossom and sandalwood with a hint of champaca in the background. I'm finding it to be a little dry and I might try layering it with a sweet sugar note that I have........Okay, I just did that and it brought out the orange blossom a bit more and the sandalwood is no longer so dry. My chemistry does not tend to sweeten things up, so I often do this to nudge the scent along. Perfect!
I picked up this imp because I love orange blossom, and, based on a coworker's repeated comments, champaca is a good note on me (and/or I turn other things to it, since she's commented on the champaca in the Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair and Dragon's Milk. If you're thinking, "Wait a second, neither of those things have champaca," *exactly*). I'm trying this one today because I will be able to wash it off and change my clothes immediately if it turns out to go horribly, horribly wrong.
In the imp: Orange blossom and pretty much nothing but.
Wet: The orange blossom is still there, but as it's warming up on my skin, the spicy sandalwood is starting to come out. I'm hoping that it doesn't get too out of control because sandalwood is one of my problem notes.
Drying down: A little bit of sweetness is coming up. This is a good thing.
Dry: Not much more sweetness. Pretty much just dry spicy sandalwood.
Verdict: Nice enough to keep the imp, but not enough to put in a rollerball and collect more imps of. I'm headed to my brother's this evening, and I think it will be okay to not wash this off or reapply it and instead layer Panther Moon over it. *Love* Panther Moon. Except as a side note, pretty much as soon as this settled in for the day, I started craving something sweet, like Dorian or Dragon's Milk. Aaaand four hours into this, the sandalwood is driving itty bitty spikes into my brain. Washing off now, *and* moving it from the keeper stash to the swap stash. I knew this one was dicey. Here's hoping the sandalwood in Fledgling Raptor Moon behaves more like the stuff in the Harp if Cnoc I'Chosgair and Perfumed Garden!
in the imp: a sharp woody greenness with something under that i recognize but can't name either.
wet: wow. something is amping up to a screaming greenness. i know that i i know what it is but i'm not sure i can name it either.
dry: well...first it's all citronella. it smells like bug spray. then i think that it morphs into something like gardenia, and then hyacinth. in long dry down it's quite pretty. it finally settles into orange blossom (which almost always works on me, it has in every other blend i've tried that it's been in) with a woody undertone.
i'm not sure that the long dry down is worth the citronella blast that it gives me for the first half an hour or so.
Back indoors and out of the wind, the orange blossom was back and quite loud. When sniffed up close I could smell powdery sandalwood, but the throw was all blossom. The champaca was nowhere in sight. It's a shame; I love all the notes, but my skin amps orange blossom like there's no tomorrow. Not for me.
This blend is a morphing maniac for the first half hour or so. In the bottle, I thought it was going to be the orange blossom scent of my dreams -- almost a single note scent. The orange blossoms of the groves of my teenage years, ahhhhhh! And then it hit my skin. And turned into gloopy soapy something or other than I could not really identify. Another fifteen minutes or so, and the gloop went away, leaving a soft powdery scent that was like burning a stick of incense next to an open window with the warm orange blossom wind blowing in at night. I'm thinking this might age very well, that slightly sharp orange blossom note blurring even more into the resins and smoke.
To me it smells exactly like corn chips. Or those hard corn taco shells you get in the grocery store. which are basically corn chips. LOL. I really don't know what in here makes it smell like that to my nose. It is kinda funny that my nose is this weird sometimes.
This scent makes me giggle. I thought it was impossible for the Lab's orange blossom note to get any sweeter than it already was...but of course: just add champaca, and it's instant Syrup of India! This stuff is strong, radiant, straight-up heady flower nectar. My fellow fans of L'École des Filles should definitely give this one a whirl. It's so very joyful.
In imp: Smoky, dry, and sweet orange with an edge.
On skin: When wet, it's mostly woody-dry with a touch of incense smoke and oranges. The drydown progressively gets more smoky and more dry, almost dusty in feel. Now it's smoky champaca, slightly sweetened by the orange blossom, made dry by sandalwood. It's actually a gentle scent, mild and cool, and pretty in its simplicity. A scent I would associate with a phoenix! Unfortunately this is smoke with orange and woods, and I would've liked it the other way round, with less champaca and more of the other notes.
Verdict: I'm a bird-lover on a mission to try every bird-themed BPAL blend, so it saddens me that Paramatman just falls short of being perfect. I may age my imp for a while -- hopefully the champaca will tone down and it'll become what I want it to be!
Unsniffed bottle purchase, eek! &... success! Although it didn't seem to be when I first opened the bottle and tried it, as it was a slightly soapy incense with orange blossom. So I put it aside to let it settle a bit.
It's a week later, and I tested this before bed last night (and again today). There is still a slightly soapy element which seems to be coming from the champaca. However, the soap has already faded and I suspect it will be gone eventually.
This smells similar to what I would imagine an orange blossomy Scherezade would be; Scherezade's younger and even more innocent sister. It's not red musky, it just has that nag champa feeling somehow. The orange blossom is very pure and very beautiful, and the sandalwood is not dry, nor does it have any sharp corners or edges, which is a huge relief. Paramatman is smooth and lovely, and I can tell it will age fantastically.
And I've already found that it layers divinely with O. Divinely. Exclamation point exclamation point.
Loads of sandalwood, hint of champaca and orange blossom. Smooth, woody and with just a hint of oranges.
Too woody for me, but I do enjoy the orange blossom note in this blend.
When I first applied this it was very soapy and strong on the orange blossom scent -- pungent and clean at the same time. I wasn't crazy about the orange blossom side of it. The drydown is a nice champaca/sandalwood combination. It smells like good-quality incense right out of the box. This would be really good for someone looking for a nice Indian-type scent, but I'm still deciding if this is "special" enough to keep.

The Graduate (1967)

Oh dear Lord, what a commentary! This track is on par with the Michael Jeck commentary for Seven Samurai, but it's only available on Criterion's laserdisc. The film's scholar, Howard Suber, takes you through all aspects of the production and script, from the significances of harsh and soft lighting, to the elements which are NOT in focus, to the overall arch of Benjamin's character. Once you hear this track by Howard Suber, you'll want to hear his others. This is an absolute must-listen for any student of film. RATED TEN.

Yes, I agree that this is an excellent commentary and that it should be revived on DVD from laserdisc. In addition to what is said by the other reviewer, Suber makes some very interesting comments about the film as a comedy, such as that the hero in comedy goes from being passive to being active at some point in the narrative (reached here when Benjamin tells his parents about marrying Elaine: "It's a decision I've made"). The popping toast emphasizes his point.

Everyone above me is spot on - this is quite a solid commentary in terms of pointing out filmmaking information such as the visual design of the film and how it relates to the story. Howard Suber has done his research, you'll hear him point out many of the techniques, however subtle they are. He also points out the various focal lengths of lenses on certain shots and why they were chosen, etc. He talks at great length about comedy vs tragedy, the specifics of each and so on. Definitely track this down. Was worth my time
Reviewed by Russ on October 21st, 2014: Find all reviews by Russ
For the most part I agree that this commentary is excellent. About 85% was useful and and on point and I grade harshly.
I learned new things such as the black and white use in the women's attire, awnings, the warmth surrounding Elaine's room and presence, etc.
Overall it's the best commentary/review that I've seen on this movie. It should be available on any copy, DVD, VHS, etc.
However there are some glaring omissions that either have or will be revealed by others.
Hoffman required oxygen after that long run once he runs out of gas.
Since they noted Dreyfus why not note the kid shaving from his TV shows.
He credits the director for the long pause Ann does while smoking and being kissed. This is hardly new. Nichols and May did this in their sketches.
His overanalysis is bothersome. He interprets things that just happened as "brilliant". He goes into his own psychological interpretations which are...........only his.
Oddly enough even Nichols admits his goof with a scene in which he forgot a scene's mastershot. Yet this'blunder'was deemed a brilliant use of darkness.
We see many things that are just ordinary yet interpreted as genius.
This is not to discredit the commentator's knowledge at all. All agree it is excellent.
But hearing his explanation of putting the top down over burgers, the genius of shooting through the triangle window pain in the car keeping them apart, well it's a stretch.
I remember Hoffman saying how when he first saw the movie his nose and nosehairs
disgusted him and he was humiliated. Why not go a bit into that. It's public knowledge.
When he explains Doris Day rejected it calling it slime. She never even saw it. Her husband/agent/controller Melcher read it, slimed it, rejected it.
My biggest objection: He minimizes Buck Henry's contribution and plays it town,
choosing to recognize other writers. Come On !
Read the book then read the first few drafts without Henry. It's garbage.

Q: Pendulum passing through a hole and acted upon by a force F Let a pendulum pass through a small hole in the ceiling and acted upon by a force $F$. Let $r$ be the varying length of the string, $m$ the mass of the bob, and $\theta$ the angle from the vertical. Find the equations of motion.

The bob has two degrees of freedom since it's motion is not constrained by anything. From D'Alembert's principle,

We vary $\theta$ and fix $r$, we get

$\frac{d}{dt} (mr^2\dot\theta) = -mgr\sin\theta$

We vary $r$ by increasing an amount $\delta r$ and fix $\theta$, we get (according to Calkin's book$^1$)

The work gravity does is, $mg\cos\theta \delta r$
The work done by the inertial force is, $m(\ddot r - r\dot\theta^2) \delta r$
The work done by the force $F$ is, $-F\delta r$
This is where I'm confused, is this a mistake? The angle between $r$ and $F$ in Fig. 2.09 is not $180^{\circ}$, so how could it be that the work done by $F$ is $-F\delta r$? I think it should be $-F\cos\theta \delta r$, can anyone confirm this?
*1 Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics by Calkin

A: Your book might have been missing the dot product symbol for both lines two and three. You can replace this with $cos(\theta)$ and see if it gives you the right equation

A: Assuming there is no friction between the string and the sides of the holes, only the normal force will act between them, so there is no difference in string tension before and after the corner at the edge of the hole.

• The number of entities e.g. the number of individuals, the number of species, the number of different habitats etc.
• The degree of difference (dissimilarity) between those entities.
Species richness (the number of species) describes the number of elements but will not capture information on the number of individuals of the species. Rarity and conservation status, dependant on how threatened a species is, can also provide a measure of biodiversity.
Measures of biodiversity are commonly used as the basis for making conservation decisions or for planning more generally. Different measures of biodiversity may support different solutions. Often indicator species are used as a way of measuring biodiversity. Using this method can be very useful but it introduces an aspect of how we value different components of biodiversity. For example, we are more likely to use the abundance of birds or butterflies on a farm as a measure of biodiversity than the richness of microbes in the soil.
Genetic diversity can be measured directly by looking at genes and chromosomes or indirectly by looking at physical features of the organisms and assuming they have a genetic basis. Using the genetic code is arguably the strongest method of measuring biodiversity as it is looking at the building blocks of life.
Generally, multicellular organisms tend to have more DNA than single-celled organisms but there are exceptions. Similarly, although there appears to be an overall trend of increasing amount of DNA with increasing complexity of organisms, this is not invariant. The species with the greatest amount of DNA has about 100,000 times as much as that with the least, but the species with the largest number of genes has only 20 times as many genes as that found in many bacteria. In other words, much genetic variation is attributable not to differences in the number of functional genes, but in the amounts of non-coding DNA. One of the most striking findings is that there are many 'universal' gene segments in a wide range of organisms suggesting the existence of an ancient minimal set of DNA sequences that all cells must have.
Whilst biodiversity can be measured in a host of ways, in practice it tends to be measured in terms of species richness; the number of species.
• Practical application: Species richness has proven to be measurable in practice, at least to the point where different workers will provide similar estimates of species numbers.
• Existing information: A substantial amount of information already exists on patterns in species richness, and this has been made available in scientific literature.
• Surrogacy: Species richness acts as a surrogate measure for many other kinds of variation in biodiversity. In general, as long as the numbers involved are at least moderate, greater numbers of species tend to embody more genetic diversity (in the form of a greater diversity of genes through to populations), more species diversity, and greater ecological diversity.
• Wide application: The species unit is commonly seen as the unit of practical management, of legislation and of political discourse. For a wide range of people, variation in biodiversity is pictured as variation in species richness.
• Definition of species: The lack of agreement as to what constitutes a species. In major part this results because species can, to a large extent be regarded as hypotheses, opinions or concepts, as much as real robust entities. Click here to see the different definitions of species. The vast majority of groups of organisms have been, and are still being, described based on collections of preserved specimens using differences in morphological characteristics. Fortunately, this method of defining a species continues to be relatively effective for most multicelluar species. It is not an adequate method of defining single cell organisms.
• Different kinds of diversity: An additional limitation of species richness as a measure of biodiversity has frequently been illustrated with reference to the issue of whether an assemblage of a small number of closely related species, say two species of mouse, is more or less biodiverse than an equivalent sized assemblage of more distantly related species, say a species of mouse and a species of shrimp.


Bristol City's chase for Marcus Bettinelli is over, the Bristol Post can confirm.
The goalkeeper was a player that was watched by goalkeeping coach David Coles earlier in the year with the senior City hierarchy hopeful that a deal could be reached for the 25-year-old stopper.
Bettinelli was even linked with a move to Chelsea this summer, who saw the one cap England under-21 player as a potential back-up to Thibaut Courtois before eventually signing Willy Caballero.
According to sources close to the West London club, Bettinelli was wanted by City but they have now cooled their interest, with Bettinelli instead due to sign a new contract with the Cottagers.
That deal has effectively knocked out the Robins' interest and meant that City would not be able to fit the goalkeeper into their wage structure even if they did continue their interest.
Which Championship clubs could afford and would want Bristol City's Aden Flint and Joe Bryan?
It's still possible that a big money move could tempt Bettinelli elsewhere, we've been told, but he is instead likely to renew with Fulham, where he ended the season as first choice goalkeeper.
The knock-on consequence could be that City take an interest in David Button, who might become tempted to leave the Cottagers for regular first-team football.
However, that deal, we've been told, is also unlikely - again due to wages - were the Robins to be interested.
Head coach Lee Johnson has recently suggested that the club will look at all options in the transfer market (free transfers, loans and youth players), and there are hopes that a young player might break into the City first-team set up.
"You've got to give the opportunity for a young player to come out of the pack. I think that's important," Johnson told us on the first day of pre-season recently.
That could possibly signal an opportunity for Ivan Lucic, or even Max O'Leary, to compete with Frank Fielding for the goalkeeper's jersey.
Under-23 keeper Jojo Wollacott is likely to head on loan to Bath City for the season.
Johnson will run the rule over these younger keepers while the club look for more signings who will significantly add to the squad.
The head coach still hopes to bring in at least two more players before the end of the transfer window.

Bleeding tendency in Wolfram syndrome: A newly identified feature with phenotype genotype correlation
Mahmoud Al-Sheyyab, Nadim Jarrah, Enas Younis, Mustafa M. Shennak, Azmi Hadidi, Abdulla Awidi, Hatem El-Shanti, Kamel Ajlouni
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a recessively inherited disorder associated with recognised clinical features. Bleeding tendency was noticed in some of our patients, although this has not been reported before. We therefore studied this problem in all our WS patients and tried to postulate a possible pathogenesis. At the same time, a genetic linkage study provided evidence of locus heterogeneity of this syndrome and showed that the majority of our patients belong to the second WS locus identified in that study. Our study group consisted of 13 WS patients, belonging to WSF2 locus (group I). Controls consisted of 4 healthy siblings of WS patients (group II) and 7 diabetics who do not have WS (group III). Relevent clinical data were obtained, and a coagulation screen was carried out for all groups. All individuals in the three study groups have normal platelet count, thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), clot retraction, Factor VIII activity (FVIIIc) and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWAg). Eleven of the WS patients have prolonged template bleeding time (BT) compared with both control groups. Patients with WS have a longer BT (mean 9.6 min, 95%CL 8.61-10.53 min) than the siblings group (mean 6.75 min, 95%CL 5.52-7.98 min) and the diabetic group (mean 5.49 min, 95%CL 4.56-6.42 min). The differences between the study group and controls are statistically significant, p = 0.02 and 0.0002, respectively. In the three groups, platelet aggregation studies were normal using adenosine diphosphate (ADP), ristocetin and epinephrine. Aggregation with collagen was either absent or impaired, with failure of secondary wave being noticed in 11 of the WS patients (85%) and normal in the control groups. The pathogenesis of this problem is not known, but could be due to an inhibitory effect of vWAgII, deficiency of thrombospondin or a defect in the platelet membrane GPIa/IIa. Bleeding diathesis is a new additional feature to the clinical spectrum of WS, which is probably a feature of the disorder WFS2 and not WFS1, as bleeding has never been reported in the latter. This provides further evidence for the phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity of this complex disorder and may provide clues to the search for the second gene responsible for this phenotype.
