"Father, forgive them; for they do not know what
they are doing." (Luke 23:34)1
Jesus, during His crucifixion
"May Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they built
the places of worship at the graves of their Prophets."2
Muhammad, on his deathbed
Although some varieties of relativism compel adherents to treat all religious claims as equally true, and while the "new atheists" often maintain that all religious claims are equally false, a cautious examination of the evidence shows that all religions are not created equal. Whereas Christian beliefs about Jesus are based entirely on sources written within the lifetimes of eyewitnesses, Muslim beliefs about Muhammad are based on documents composed more than a century after his death. Nevertheless, even if we take these late Islamic sources seriously, additional problems immediately arise. Muhammad's moral teachings and example, especially in the areas of sex and violence, can be shocking to those unfamiliar with Muslim sources. When viewed against the backdrop of the New Testament picture of Jesus, Muhammad's example only serves to highlight Jesus' moral excellence. Further, Jesus and Muhammad taught radically different theologies, but we have firm grounds for accepting Christian theology and rejecting Islamic theology. All available evidence confirms that Jesus rose from the dead. Islam, however, falls short on two fronts—Muhammad could offer no compelling reason to believe he was a prophet, and his teachings lead to a dilemma that can only be avoided by abandoning Islam.
As Jesus of Nazareth hung from a cross—barely recognizable, skin dangling like ribbons, muscles and inner tissues exposed, covered only by His own drying yet still flowing blood—He asked His Father to forgive the people who had treated Him this way. Six centuries later, Muhammad lay dying, his internal organs shutting down after being poisoned by a Jewish woman whose family had been slaughtered by Muslim invaders.3 His prayer was for Allah to curse Jews and Christians.
A careful comparison of Jesus and Muhammad reveals that Christianity and Islam are far more different than is commonly thought. In terms of historical evidence and ethical teachings, the founders of history's two most popular religions are poles apart. When we factor in the dissimilarity of their central messages and of the divine support backing these messages, the gulf between Christianity and Islam couldn't be deeper. Muhammad seems inextricably tied to a particular culture during a specific time period. Jesus appears timeless.
While several ancient non-Christian writings refer to Jesus, virtually everything we know about His life is based on sources contained in the New Testament. The four Gospels, the book of Acts, and numerous letters were all written either by eyewitnesses themselves or within the lifetimes of eyewitnesses. Having multiple, independent, early sources allows us to form a reliable picture of the historical Jesus.
The historian's task is far more difficult when we turn to Islam's origins. The Qur'an tells us next to nothing about Muhammad (at least, not explicitly). Our earliest detailed biographical source for the prophet of Islam is Ibn Ishaq's Life of Muhammad, which was written more than a century after Muhammad's death. Modern Muslims, however, have declared that Ibn Ishaq's methodology was defective, forcing them to turn to even later works for information concerning their prophet. Islam's most trusted collections of stories about Muhammad (e.g., Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, etc.) were written approximately two centuries (or more) after the events they report.
Needless to say, two centuries is ample time for embellishment and outright fabrication. Quests for early Islamic historical data have uncovered little, and the general movement among scholars of Islamic studies over the past century has been toward greater skepticism.4 Of course, there is no shortage of New Testament scholars who are highly critical of Christian beliefs (e.g., Jesus' miracles and divine nature). But there is a crucial difference between skepticism about Jesus and skepticism about Muhammad. Whereas critics of Christianity have to contend with and explain away a significant amount of early historical evidence, critics of Islam do not.
MORAL EXAMPLE
Shortly after he became a theist, the late British philosopher Antony Flew was asked whether he thought he might ever subscribe to a specific theistic religion, such as Christianity or Islam. Although Flew answered in the negative, he used the opportunity to draw a comparison between Jesus and Muhammad: "One thing I'll say in this comparison is that, for goodness sake, Jesus is an enormously attractive charismatic figure, which the Prophet of Islam most emphatically is not."5
Why did Flew, a man notorious for his criticisms of Christian theism through much of the twentieth century, find Jesus "enormously" appealing, but Muhammad not at all? The answer is rather straightforward: Flew had spent a significant portion of his life studying world religions, and the contrast between Jesus and Muhammad is striking.
Jesus spent the bulk of His three-year ministry caring for the needs of others. When challenged to perform miracles to satisfy His own hunger (Matt. 4:3–4) or to bring Himself instant personal glory (Matt. 4:5–6), He refused. Yet He never turned away the blind, the deaf, the ill, the disabled, or the hungry. He defended social outcasts while condemning the self-righteous (Luke 7:36–50). He commanded His followers to love everyone (Matt. 5:43–45) and to harm no one (Matt. 26:52). When complaints arose, Jesus was so confident in His integrity that He could say to His critics, "Which one of you convicts Me of sin?" (John 8:46).
Beyond this, Jesus set the ultimate moral example by laying down His life for others. After warning His disciples not to exalt themselves, Jesus said, "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). Due to Jesus' sacrifice, countless Christians have given their lives for others, whether preaching the gospel in hostile areas or caring for the sick in disease-ridden territory.
By contrast, the life of Muhammad hardly serves as a noble pattern of conduct. There are, to be sure, many instances in Muhammad's life when he was kind, generous, or courageous; and the advent of Islam did put an end to certain heinous practices (such as female infanticide). Nevertheless, the Qur'an establishes Muhammad as the ultimate role model (33:21), while his teachings should have ruled out such esteem.
Consider two categories of Muhammad's moral example: sexual ethics and violence. Despite the Qur'an's prohibition against marrying more than four wives (4:3), Muhammad had at least nine wives at one time6 (after he received in 33:50 a special revelation giving him, and him alone, the right to violate the four-wife limit). Islamic sources report that one of Muhammad's wives, a girl named Aisha, was only nine years old when the marriage was consummated.7 Another wife, named Zaynab, was originally married to his adopted son Zayd. However, after Muhammad saw Zaynab practically naked while attempting to visit his adopted son, he became attracted to her, and Zayd divorced his wife so that Muhammad could have her.8
Although Muslim men are limited to four wives, Muhammad allowed them to possess an unlimited number of captives and concubines (see Qur'an 23:5–6; 70:22–30).9 Muslims are not required to marry their captives in order to have sex with them, and they are permitted to have sex with captive women whose husbands are still alive (4:24).10 Muhammad even allowed his followers to practice a form of prostitution (called "Muta"), according to which a Muslim could pay a woman for sex, marry her for a short time, and then divorce her after having sex with her.11
Just as disturbing is Muhammad's treatment of critics, apostates, and non-Muslims in general. Modern Muslims often claim that Muhammad only killed when his enemies attacked him, but history shows that he murdered numerous people whose only crime was writing poems criticizing him.12
Those who decided to leave Islam fared no better, for Muhammad commanded his followers, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion…kill him."13 Based on Muhammad's repeated commands to kill those who abandon Islam, all four schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, along with Shia schools, agree that male apostates should be killed. There is some disagreement, however, as to whether female apostates should be (a) executed or (b) imprisoned and tortured until they return to Islam.14
While several passages in the Qur'an appear to promote peace toward non-Muslims,15 the Qur'an defines its own method of interpretation: "Whatever communications We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We bring one better than it or like it" (2:106, Shakir).16 This is the basis for the doctrine of abrogation, according to which earlier passages of the Qur'an are canceled by later passages, provided there is a conflict. With this in mind, consider a few passages from the last three (major) chapters that Muhammad delivered to his followers:
O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other. (5:51, Shakir)
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. (9:29, Ali)17
Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain. (9:111, Shakir)
O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness. (9:123, Shakir)
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. (48:29, Hilali-Khan)18
Notice that the main criterion for fighting or mistreating people in these passages is that they do not believe in Allah as the only true God. Muhammad's final marching orders, then, consist largely of commands to violently subjugate non-Muslims. These commands abrogate any earlier teachings calling for peaceful coexistence with unbelievers. Excessive moral relativism aside, by this point, there should be no questioning Flew's assessment that Jesus is vastly more attractive than Muhammad.
RELIGIOUS MESSAGE
Jesus addressed numerous issues during His earthly ministry, and much of what He said could be viewed as common ground with non-Christian religions and philosophies. However, the most unique aspects of Jesus' message (and those that provoked the harshest reaction from His listeners) concerned His identity and prerogatives as the divine Son of God.
The carpenter from Nazareth claimed to be the great "I AM" who led the Israelites during the Exodus (John 8:58; 8:24; cf. Exod. 3:14), the final judge over all mankind (Matt. 25:31–33), and the apocalyptic "Son of Man," who would come on the clouds of heaven and receive worship in His everlasting kingdom (Mark 14:62; cf. Dan. 7:13–14). He assured His hearers that He could forgive their sins (Mark 2:1–12), and that when people sin, they owe a debt to Him (Luke 7:40–50). Jesus said that He is with His followers wherever they gather (Matt. 18:20) and with them forever (Matt. 28:20). He announced His ability to answer prayers (John 14:13–14), shortly before declaring that He had glory with the Father before the world began (John 17:5). Jesus called Himself the Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28) and the Lord of King David (Matt. 22:41–45).
Combining these teachings with Jesus' claim to be a "ransom for many," the "Christian message" becomes clear: the divine Son of God entered creation in order to be the perfect sacrifice for sins (John 3:16).
Muhammad denied the core doctrines of the gospel. Jesus was "no more than a Messenger" (Qur'an 5:75, Ali).19 Jesus couldn't have died for anyone else's sins, both because He never died on the cross (4:157–158), and because "no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another" (39:7, Ali).20 The Qur'an also explicitly denies the doctrine of the Trinity in 5:73 and 5:116 (though we should note that, according to the Qur'an, Christians believe in a Trinity made up of Allah, Jesus, and Mary!21).
The central message of Islam is that human beings must avoid idolatry (which includes belief in the deity of Christ) and must submit to Allah by making Muhammad the final authority in their lives (4:65, 3:31–32). Since Muhammad declared that his followers must recite the creed,22 pray the five daily prayers, give alms, fast during the month of Ramadan, and take the pilgrimage to Mecca (assuming one is physically and financially able), Muslims must perform these duties out of obedience to Allah.
DIVINE CONFIRMATION
History is filled with men and women telling other people what to believe about God. Even today, many self-proclaimed "prophets" have convinced their followers that they hold the keys to paradise. Jesus and Muhammad taught theologies that differed radically from one another and from those of other religious leaders. Why should we believe any of these messages?
Interestingly, the Bible and the Qur'an agree that Jesus lived the most miraculous life in history. According to both Christian and Muslim scriptures, Jesus was born of a virgin (Matt. 1:18–23; Qur'an 3:47), He cured lepers (Luke 5:12–13; Qur'an 3:49), He gave sight to the blind (Mark 10:46–52; Qur'an 5:110), and He raised the dead (John 11:38–44; Qur'an 3:49). The Qur'an even includes two apocryphal miracles—Jesus speaking at birth (19:29–33) and giving life to a clay bird (5:110).
Of course, the bedrock of Christian belief has always been Jesus' resurrection (1 Cor. 15:12–19). When we look at the first-century evidence, we find that after Jesus' death, His followers became depressed because their teacher had been killed. Yet these same followers were suddenly transformed into bold preachers, most of whom went to their deaths confidently proclaiming that Jesus had risen from the dead and had appeared to them. We see a similar transformation in two people who weren't followers of Jesus during His earthly ministry. The apostle James went from being a skeptic who rejected Jesus (John 7:5) to being a leader in the early church, all because he was convinced that Jesus had appeared to him (1 Cor. 15:7). The apostle Paul initially persecuted the church and tried to destroy it (Acts 9:1–19). After seeing Jesus on the road to Damascus, however, he started preaching the same message that Peter, James, and the rest of the apostles were preaching—that Jesus is the risen Lord (1 Cor. 15:11). The only explanation that fits these historical facts is that Jesus rose from the dead.23
According to the Qur'an, Muhammad's only miracle was the Qur'an itself (29:48–51).24 Apparently, the eloquence of the Qur'an was supposed to be a sign of its divine origin (see 2:23). But this argument is clearly flawed. Even if the Qur'an were the most eloquent book ever written (which it isn't), this could hardly be taken as proof of divine inspiration, any more than the unsurpassable brilliance of Mozart's symphonies proves that his music came from God.
While I suspect we might lawfully view the Qur'an's main argument (the "argument from eloquence") as inherently absurd (and therefore evidence against its divine origin), a few facts drawn from the early Muslim sources could be more relevant. First, when Muhammad began receiving revelations in the cave on Mount Hira, his first impression was that he had been possessed by a poetry demon.25
Second, after his experience in the cave, Muhammad became suicidal, and tried to hurl himself off a cliff. Muslim sources report that his wife Khadijah and her cousin Waraqah, who weren't in the cave and had no idea what he encountered, persuaded him that he wasn't possessed—he was a prophet of God.26
Third, when Muhammad delivered the 53rd chapter of the Qur'an to his followers, it contained verses allowing Muslims to pray to three pagan goddesses (al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat). Muhammad recited these verses and bowed down in honor of the new revelation. A little later, however, he told his followers that the so-called "Satanic Verses," which he had delivered as part of the Qur'an, weren't really from Allah; they were from Satan. Muhammad removed them from the Qur'an and replaced them with the words we find in chapter 53 today.27
Fourth, at one point late in life, Muhammad said he was the victim of a magic spell that lasted about a year. According to multiple sources, one of Muhammad's enemies stole his hairbrush and used it to cast a spell on him. Ibn Ishaq tells us that Muhammad was bewitched during this time, and Bukhari adds that the spell made him delusional.28
Hence, when we look for divine confirmation of Muhammad's message, we are immediately confronted by an incredibly strange argument ("My poetry is better than yours, so it must be from God"). Yet as soon as we dig deeper, we find significant disconfirmation of Muhammad's teachings.
THE ISLAMIC DILEMMA
There is a final difference between Jesus and Muhammad that we haven't considered—namely, that one of these men confirmed the message of the other. As we have seen, the Qur'an calls Jesus a "Messenger" of God, and Muslims are therefore required to honor Jesus' teachings. But since the Gospels obviously support the Christian view of Jesus, Muslims who want to deny Jesus' deity, death, and resurrection must say that the Gospels have been corrupted. And here Muslims face perhaps their greatest difficulty.
The Qur'an affirms the inspiration of the Christian scriptures (see 3:3–4, 7:157, 10:94, etc.). It also commands Christians to judge by what we read in the gospel (5:47), which makes no sense if the gospel has been significantly altered. Indeed, the Qur'an declares that we have "no ground to stand upon" if we do not adhere to the Torah and the gospel (5:68, Ali). Contrary to Muslim charges of corruption, the Qur'an claims that no one is capable of corrupting God's Word (6:114–115, 18:27). Thus, a dilemma rises to the surface. If the Gospels are reliable, Muhammad cannot be a prophet, because the Gospels contradict Muhammad's teachings. Alternatively, if the Gospels are unreliable, Muhammad cannot be a prophet, because Muhammad proclaimed the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Christian scriptures. Either way, Muhammad cannot be a prophet.
Even a cursory examination of the evidence shows (1) that we have better historical records for the life of Jesus than for the life of Muhammad, (2) that Jesus was a far better moral example than Muhammad, (3) that we have clear divine confirmation of Jesus' message, but palpable disconfirmation for that of Muhammad, and (4) that Muhammad's teachings self-destruct. This should cause any sincere, truth-seeking
Muslim to reevaluate his position. Far from being cursed (as Muhammad prayed), Christians have been blessed with an unsurpassable gift.

The Qur'an addresses the doctrine of the Trinity in 5:116, where Allah asks Jesus, "Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah'?" (Hilali-Khan). Since no Christian sect has ever taught belief in a Trinity composed of God, Jesus, and Mary, we can only wonder why this serves as the Qur'an's official response to Christian doctrine.
"There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his Messenger."

We should note that, while the Qur'an repeatedly denies that Muhammad could perform miracles (apart from the Qur'an), later Muslim authors composed thousands of stories about Muhammad's miracles. However, since these sources are extremely late and contradict the Qur'an, they are not credible.

Covid Claims Schools Coach
Faizel Adam, a schoolmaster and the coach to schoolboy teams in the Western Province, died at the age of 50 on Wednesday 12 June 2020, his birthday. An asthma sufferer, he contracted the dreaded Covid-9 disease and was in intensive care at Mediclinic Cape Gate in Brackenfell for five weeks before his much mourned death. He was diagnosed with Covid-9 on 9 May 2020.
At the time of his death, Adam was teaching at Florida High School in Ravensmead, not far from Tygerberg Rugby Club where he coached at one stage. But it was as a schools coach that he achieved great success.
In 2013, he became the coach of the Western Province Under-16 at the Grant Khomo Week when Western province won all three matches, beating the Blue Bulls 22-15 in the prestigious final match. The next year he was the assistant coach to the Western Province Academy Week side, which also won all three of its matches, beating KwaZulu-Natal 38-7 in the final.
Onwards and upwards Adam went, first as assistant coach of the Western Province Craven Week side for three years before becoming coach of the Craven Week side in 2018 and 2019. In 2015, Western Province won all three, beating Eastern Province by a whopping 95-0 in the final match and they were again unbeaten in 2016, winning the final 27-20 against the Golden Lions. The only hiccup was in 2017 when Western Province won one, drew one and lost one, but Adam was nonetheless promoted as head coach for the Western Province Craven Week side for unbeaten Weeks in 2018, when they beat the Sharks 47-8 in the final match, and 2019 when the beat the Blue Bulls 56-31 in the final match.
Apart from teaching life science at Florida High Adam coached at Fairmont High School for two years and then, since 2018, at Durbanville High School. because of coronavirus and COVID-19, there was just one round of matches in 2020 before his death.
Adam was highly regarded in the Western Province both as a coach and as a man. At the news of his death, the president of the Western Province Rugby Union, Zelt Marais, said: "Faizel Adam's impact on the rugby community has been immense and his loss will be mourned by all who came into contact with him.
"We have lost a truly inspirational rugby man, who has made such a positive impact in the lives of everyone he knew, a selfless man."
Faizel Adam is survived by his wife Johan, a daughter aged nine and a son aged six.

Tyler Sevigny also had a strong game going 2-4 with 2R, 1RBI, and 1SB.
This week the Spartans host Portland on Wednesday, May 4 and travel to Windham on Friday, May 5.
The Boys Lacrosse game against Bonny Eagle on Wednesday, April 27 was postponed due to inclement weather.
They hosted Traip Academy at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 30, earning another win for the record with a score of 14-1. Sophomores Ayden Lockard and AJ Anderson helped drive the Spartan win with eight goals and five assists, respectively.
This week, they travel to Bonny Eagle on Monday, May 2 to make up last week's rained-out game. They then host Marshwood on Wednesday, May 4, and travel to Morse/Boothbay on Friday, May 6.
Girls Lacrosse played on the road for the first time this season and their schedule increased in difficulty. On Tuesday, the Spartans faced their first loss of the season to a talented Gorham, with a score of 16-1. Gorham dominated the draw, forcing the Spartans to play defense for the majority of the game. The team was able to get one tally on the board, a goal by Kaylynne Hessler, assisted by Emerson Tolpin. Tolpin also led the team in ground balls with three. Lila Bernier made 14 saves in the net.
On Friday, the Spartans traveled to Cheverus High and lost 14-3.

Scorers for the Spartans included Tolpin with two and Hessler with one. Bernier held strong in the cage blocking 15 shots.
"I'm really proud of our team despite what the scoreboard shows," said head coach Kelly Foley. "In losses like these, it's easy for players to get frustrated and point fingers, but these girls didn't do that. They supported each other and battled as a team. And these games make us better players."
The 3-2 Spartans are on the road again this week, facing Biddeford on Tuesday, May 3, and Wells on Friday, May 6.
Via GAMECHANGER MEDIA
The Sanford Varsity Softball Team fell to Cheverus 8-7 on Monday, April 25 at home. Despite a four-run deficit in the fifth inning, the Spartans almost came all the way back. According to Gamechanger Media, the Spartans were right in it until the seventh inning.

Cheverus scored three funs in the top of the fifth inning. In the bottom of the fifth, the game was tied up at seven when Alexander lined out, driving in a run.

Boys and Girls Track & Field
For the first meet of the season, the boys and girls track team traveled to Biddeford for a windy competition against Biddeford, Marshwood and Cheverus. The high wind speeds made competing very difficult but the Spartans stayed strong. Pole vault was delayed to Friday at Sanford.
On the women's side, top performers included senior Taylor Tovey, who placed second in the 200m, triple jump, and high jump; while fellow senior Misty Adams scored second in the 3200m, third in the 1600m, eighth in the 800m and contributed to the second-place finish of the 4x800m relay (with Addy Fiandaca, Samone Gallagher and Grace Fleming).

Freshman Sophie Therrian scored second in the 300m hurdles and fourth in the 100m hurdles, and Arianna Hebert scored first in the 1600m Racewalk.
Assistant Coach Nick Ericson commented, "The team had a very nice first meet with many great first-meet performances. Many of our points came from our seniors that have been in our program for four years."
On the men's side, the Spartans proved victorious with 94 points, beating out Marshwood by three. Coach Kevin Way credits a full team effort, with noteworthy performances in the 4×800 relay (J.P. Alexandre, Cam Mathieu, Josh Werner and Greg Watterman), Tyler LeBeuf in the high-hurdles, Tucker Walker in the shotput, and Nick Farrington in the Javelin.

Metro Vancouver Lyft passengers will pay at least $5 just to hail a ride
Lyft unveils its pricing scheme for Metro Vancouver

What happened: Lyft has revealed its pricing scheme for Metro Vancouver riders
Why it matters: Prices may fluctuate depending on additional regulatory fees as well as demand during peak periods
Passengers in Metro Vancouver will pay at least $5 every time they jump inside a vehicle operated by ride-hailing service Lyft Inc.
In addition to a $2.50 base, passengers will also need to cover a $2.50 service fee on top of costs per kilometre and per minute, according to pricing released by Lyft:
Base: $2.50
Service fee: $2.50
Cost per km: $0.65
Cost per minute: $0.33
A ride from Canada Place in downtown Vancouver to the Walmart outlet near the city's border with Burnaby would cover 9.5 kilometres and take 22 minutes during mid-morning rush hour, according to Google Maps.
Based on that estimate, a ride with Lyft would cost passengers $18.44 to get from one side of Vancouver to the other but other fees would still apply.
"Lyft is sharing its rider pricing so Metro Vancouverites can get a better understanding of what they can expect when service begins. To note, applicable regulatory fees may be added to these rates," Lyft said in a statement to Business in Vancouver.
Vancouver city council voted in October to also add additional $0.30 pick-up and drop-off fees between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for what it describes as its "metro core" — most of downtown out to Commercial Drive, and north of 16th Avenue.
That additional fee would bring the Walmart trip from downtown up to $18.74.
The province's Passenger Transportation Board (PTB) requires minimal pricing in B.C. to be based on taxi flag rates within an operating area.
In Metro Vancouver that runs between $3.25 and $3.95 when someone steps inside a vehicle in addition to prices charged for distance travelled.
Unlike many other jurisdictions, the PTB does not permit ride-hailing services to offer discounts to passengers.
But the regulatory body will allow these services to raise prices during peak periods as demand swells.
Meanwhile, Metro Vancouver's Mayors' Council voted on Dec. 13 in favour of pursuing a regional business licence for ride-hailing services rather than the patchwork system of municipal licences that had previously been in the works.
All the mayors — save for Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum — supported the motion.
Lyft said that it's still awaiting a licence to operate from the PTB but that it was pleased with Mayors' Council vote.
Once the provincial licence has been secured, Lyft said it would then work to get municipal licences before launching services.
BIV has also reached out to Uber Technologies Inc., Vancouver-based Kater Technologies Inc. and Richmond-based Gokabu Group Holdings Inc., which operates the Kabu Ride app, for updates on their pricing and will update the story as those prices are provided.

� gend handed down for more than 1,400 years refer to this ancient town as Hariphunchai. Its first ruler was Queen Chamthewi who was of Mon extraction. In late 12th century, King Mengrai overran the town and subsequently integrated it into the Lanna Kingdom.
From Bangkok, take Highway No. 1 to Nakhon Sawan via Sing Buri and Chai Nat, then turn into Highway No. 11 and proceed to Lamphun, a total distance of 670 kilometres.
Trains leave Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Raialway Station every day. Call 1690 for more information.
Visitors can fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and then connect a Chiang Mai-Lamphun bus which leave Chang Phueak Bus Station every 15 minutes. Travelling time from Chiang Mai to Lamphun is 45 minutes.
Located on Inthayongyot Road almost opposite Wat Phra That Hariphunchai is the Hariphunchai National Museum. Displays and exhibits include historical development and archaeological items found in Lamphun. These include prehistorical human skeletons and objects of arts from the Dvaravati, Hariphunchai, Lanna and Rattanakosin periods. A chamber in devoted to a collection of inscription stones in Mon and Lanna scripts. Another displays ancient utensils, Lanna indigenous arts and carvings.
The museum is open on Wednesday-Sunday from 8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m..
The admission is 100 baht.
Sited in mid-town, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai was built during the reign of King Arthitayarat, a descendant of Queen Chamthewi some 800 years ago. A principal landmark is the 46-metre tall golden Chedi whose present appearance was the result of the restoration work in 1443 by a king of Chiang Mai. It has long been regarded as a major place of worship. Other architectural works include the ancient-style brick arch adorned with fine designs and the pair of sculptured lions at the door. There are also a square-shaped Chedi and a Khmer-style Buddha statue. It is open at 6 a.m.-6 p.m. The entrance fee is 20 baht. Visit www.hariphunchaitemple.org for more information.
Another ancient site related to the old history of the town is Wat Phra Yuen. The Ku Chang-Ku Ma Chedi at the temple is surrounded on four directions by standing statues. The Chedi itself is cylinder-shaped and commemorates Queen Chamthewi's war elephant and her son's steed.
Wat Chamthewi, commonly referred to a "Ku Kut", is located on the Lamphun-San Pa Tong Road and built in 1298 B.E. in the Lawo (Lopburi) style. The Chedi is a square structure similar to Buddhagaya in India. Around the Chedi are levels of arches holding a total of 60 Buddha statues. Ashes of the queen are enshrined within the Chedi.
The Phra Nang Chamthewi Statue is located in the Nong Dok public park in town commemorating the first ruler of Hariphunchai.
Ban Hong is the site of a 1,400-year-old community dating back to the Hariphunchai Kingdom. Located some 40 kilometres to the south of Lamphun, it offers a scenic and delightful vista of green fields and mountains. It also has several old temples built in admirable indigenous style, e.g., Wat Phra Chao Ton Luang with its 600-year-old Buddha statue, Wat Pa Puai and Wat Dong Rusi. The later two temples both maintain 100-year-old Ho Trai (scripture halls) built with wood in delicate patterns. Some of the natural attractions in the district include Tham Luang Pha Wiang, a cave some 15 kilometres south of the district town. Inside the cavern are oddly-shaped stalactites. There are accommodation facilities for tourists in the district town.
The Khun Than mountain range of the Doi Khun Than National Park forms a natural boundary between Lamphun and Lampang provinces. The northern rail line to Chiang Mai runs through the longest rail tunnel in the country, which is 1,352 metres long and takes five minutes to traverse. The moutain has both virgin jungle and pinery. The admission is 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children.
About 7 kilometres away on the route to Li district is Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha. Legend has it that the Lord Buddha once stayed here, leaving a trace of likeness of monk's saffron robe and his footprint of stone ground.
Pa Sang district is a handicraft centre and famous for its handmade cotton materials which are produced mainly in Ban Nong Nguak. Also at this village is an ancient temple noted for its beautiful arches in indigenous Burmese-influenced style.
Located in Tambon Nai Mueang, Amphoe Mueang Lamphun, on the road parallel to the old city wall to the west of town is Wat Mahawan, an old temple built since the times of Queen Chamthewi. Enshrined here is a Nak Prok statue (statue with mythical serphants overhead) which was brought to the temple by the Queen. Commonly known as Phra Rot Lamphun, it serves as the model for the famous votive tablet.
The Ban Nong Chang Khuen is the most famous longan growing area in the country. The orchards are located some 8 kilometres before Lamphun and with a further 7 kilometres after a right turn. On both sides of the road are numerous longan orchards. The fruits are in season during July-August. Longans were introduced to the area during the reign of King Rama V and have since spread into neighbouring provinces. There are several species today which are popular among consumers.
Covering an area of over 1,000 square kilometres is the Mae Ping National Park. Its main feature is the Ping River, which flows through the forests in the park. On both sides are fertile forest-lands with sheer cliffs providing beautiful natural scenery. Certain parts of the waterway spread out to form reservoir-like bodies of water with numerous small islands and rapids. Another attraction is the 7-level Ko Luang Waterfall, which is fed from lime streams. It is just 20 kilometres from the park headquarters and accessible by road. Fascinating stalactites and stalagmites are to be found inside nearby lime caves.
The admission is 100 baht for adults and 50 baht for children. Tourists wishing to stay overnight are recommended to contact park headquarters at Tel. 0 2562 0760, www.dnp.go.th, or Mae Ping National Park office which is located some 20 kilometres off Highway No.106 at Km.47.
In front of the Town Hall is the Suthewa Rusi Statue. Legend has it that the Rusi, or ascetic, was the actual founder of Hariphunchai. As an ascetic refraining from worldly affairs he invited Phra Nang Chamthevi, a daughter of the King of Lopburi, to ascend the throne and helped her to firmly establish Buddhism in the land.

Home Academics Thompson Writing Awards
Regardless of whether you call the American West your home or are just passing through on life's greater journey, as a student at CU Boulder you belong to a region well worth writing about.
It is no easy matter to define the West or the quality of "Westernness." In general, we think of the West as the territory between the 100th Meridian and the Pacific Coast, including Alaska and Hawaii. We recognize that the symbolic nature of the American West also travels globally, and welcome explorations of how writers have encountered Westerness in the most unlikely places.
How do I write about the West?
Perhaps you took a course that focused on the hydrology of the Colorado River and found yourself writing an outstanding final paper; or you attended an author's talk about how the railroad was built by marginalized communities of color and writing poetry was your way to process the experience. Perhaps your creative writing seminar pushed you to start a novel based on your grandparents' immigration to the region; or you felt compelled to write your own story of finding yourself in the West.
Memoir, fiction, poetry and non-fiction - there is space for all experiences of the American West to be written about. Awards will go to entries that are authentic, well-rounded, superbly edited and transformative to readers. Judges come from far and wide in the West to participate, so be prepared to be weighed by some of the best. With a muse like the American West, we can't wait to see what your submission holds in store!

I am currently working at the SAP headquarters in Walldorf, Germany. I am interning here for the summer, before I go back to finish my last year of college at the American University in Bulgaria. I am a part of the Managed Services department under Products and Innovation. I am mainly working on reporting on key performance indicators; I am also the "financial person" in my team, meaning that financial questions and issues get directed to me. I have also done some internal marketing, such as working on the announcement of new deals and clients acquired.
The internship has been extremely useful for me because I am not being treated as an intern, but as a responsible team member. I have projects of my own; for example, I created a KPI reporting dashboard tailored to the needs of the department. In addition to getting my own projects, my supervisor relies on me to report directly to our manager, making me accountable for my own work. For these reasons, the internship has been invaluable as a learning experience.
I got invited to an interview in a rather unconventional manner — I submitted an online application. I am using the word "unconventional" here not because it is an uncommon strategy among job applicants (quite the contrary, actually), but because from what I have heard and from what I have experienced myself, people rarely get contacted for an interview invitation after applying online. This was certainly the case with me — I filled out numerous online applications to no avail. My future boss, however, took the time to read through all the resumes and shortlist candidates, which is unusual in an age of resume-screening software. Even though I got where I am now in an unusual way, I would advise others to keep networking, rather than rely solely on online applications.
There is one big takeaway from my application experience that I believe would be useful to any young job seeker. One of the main reasons I was invited for an interview were my previous internship and competition experiences. The person who hired me was interested in the type of work I did in my previous internship, as it was similar to the type of work I would do at SAP. At no point did she ask about my GPA or course record. While these are undoubtedly important, I have come to believe that a person's involvement in projects and competitions as well as her work experience are the decisive factors in receiving an interview invitation. For that reason, I would advise those looking for an internship or an entry-level position to focus on what they do outside of class just as much as they focus on their studies.
That being said, Project Firefly has been a great advantage for me. It is certainly one of the reasons I am considered the "financial person" of the team — being a HOLT Champion certainly makes a candidate stand out. It also communicates that you have certain specialized knowledge, even if you do not have a lot of working experience, as in my case, for example. In addition, the skillset you get from Project Firefly's competitions is transferable across industries. I am currently working for a software company, but I still use the analytical and logical approach to thinking that I used for the HOLT Valuation Challenge, for example. I do not work in finance and valuation, but the financial knowledge and critical thinking skills that HOLT helped me to develop have been a great asset in my current position in addition to helping me secure it.

NewsDistance Learning and Its Effects on Mental Health
Distance Learning and Its Effects on Mental Health
While the pandemic continues, distance learning continues to be the best option to keep students, faculty, and staff safe. While technology has been a saving grace, and remote learning offers advantages, it has also introduced a host of mental health challenges for others.
Reports of exhaustion from participating in online learning from teachers, students, and parents have become so commonplace that the experience has been dubbed "Zoom fatigue" and includes Google Hangouts, Skype, FaceTime, or any other video-calling platform.
That exhaustion isn't merely a matter of having tired eyes, a stiff neck, or lower back pain from video conferencing; science shows that remote learning forces the brain to work differently than it does in person. In a traditional classroom, our brains discern body language and other nonverbal cues, and experience increased dopamine amounts from face-to-face interaction.
The subconscious brain also reacts to timing issues. Although it seems that video calls are happening in real-time, there's a millisecond delay that can trigger the brain to search for ways to overcome the lag. That makes the brain tired, worried, and anxious.
Just a few months into remote learning, nearly three in ten parents said their child is experiencing emotional or mental harm because of social distancing and school closures, according to a nationwide Gallup poll in June 2020.
The shift to online learning has left many students feeling isolated and struggling with sticking to a routine outside of the structured classroom environment. According to a study conducted by Barnes and Noble Education, 64 percent of students surveyed shared they felt anxious about staying motivated and focused in their home environments, 55 percent were worried about the lack of in-person social interactions, and 45 percent feared this isolation could impact their academic performance.
The challenges are similar for parents. Balancing remote work schedules with facilitating distance learning for their children has many parents feeling overwhelmed and overworked. One body of research found mothers were more likely to feel anxious and overwhelmed while working from home than fathers.
For students who are already prone to depression or anxiety or are already having difficulties in their social relationships, academics can become another hurdle in that child's life.
Schools as Mental Health Centers
Research shows that the school environment is critical for fostering academic motivation and social development, and many students rely on schools for mental health care. Among adolescents who received mental health services between 2012 and 2015, 35 percent received these services exclusively from school settings.
Before the COVID pandemic, there was mounting evidence that young people's mental health problems were on the rise. The 12-month prevalence of major depressive disorder in U.S. adolescents increased from 8.7 percent in 2005 to 11.3 percent in 2014. Suicide rates also increased among people ages 10 to 24, from 6.8 per 100,000 people in 2007 to 10.6 per 100,000 in 2017.
As a result, more than half of U.S. states have passed laws or enacted policies requiring schools to have a mental health curriculum or include mental health in their health or education standards. Many such frameworks have been developed just within the last five years.
Schools faced significant hurdles with figuring out how to operate in crisis mode because of the pandemic, such as ensuring internet access and supplying meals to students, forcing them to focus on basic needs for the most vulnerable. Resources were stretched thin, and in some cases, impacted a school's ability to provide mental health interventions.
7 Tips to Foster Children's Emotional Well-Being
Below are several tips with examples of how we can help foster children and adolescents' emotional well-being during this challenging time.
Establish and maintain a routine
In times of stress and turmoil, a routine can help satisfy our human desire for comfort and predictability. Establishing and maintaining routines can help children cope and can make schoolwork time more productive.
Maintain relationships, as much as possible, with family and friends
There are many friends that children are no longer able to see. Providing continuity in relationships can help children feel better now and in the future when they return to school.
Talk about your feelings and encourage children to express their feelings
In the existing situation, we all experience emotions, some positive, some negative. Adults may feel that they should "put on a happy face" to avoid exposing children to negative feelings that are strong, frequent, or unregulated. But, sharing your feelings with children and letting them know when you feel frustrated, down, or sad validates their feelings.
Understand and convey that behavior is often rooted in emotions
When people feel frustrated or angry, they may withdraw, lash out, or be disagreeable. Making this connection between emotions and behavior can help parents and children better understand different behaviors they're seeing.
Help children see feelings in others
It can be challenging for children to notice and understand that two people in the same situation may feel differently about it. By noting when another person may be feeling a way that is different than your child, you can foster empathy and perspective-taking skills.
Practice generosity and thankfulness
Even if you're dealing with stress because you've lost your job or your salary's been reduced, showing your appreciation for the good things in your life, big or small, can make you feel happier and more satisfied. Helping children to see these things in their own lives can help them be happier and get through tough times.
It's an unprecedented time in history, and the entire family is impacted by the lifestyle changes necessitated by coronavirus and remote learning. If you are concerned about your child's mental health, you can find a local therapist through Eagle Valley Behavioral Health, who will help you through any behavioral health challenges you may be facing. Financial assistance resources like Olivia's Fund are also available to those who live or work in Eagle County and cannot afford treatment themselves.
Online classes are a major adjustment for students, teachers, and parents. Keeping in mind that it's challenging for everyone can help reduce some of the stress and frustration.

TEHRAN, Apr. 10 (MNA) – Chairman of Iranian Parliament's national security committee, Falahatpisheh, in a meeting with a Russian parliamentary official, said the US wrong and illogical decisions have spread terrorism and violence in the region.
Chairman of National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iranian Parliament, Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, and his accompanying delegation, met and held talks with Chairman of the State Duma's Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, in Moscow on Wednesday.
During the meeting, the senior Iranian MP said his Committee welcomes and supports any measures in line with promoting the national interests of Tehran and Moscow, and called for closer security and political cooperation between the two sides, given the current developments in the region.
He also deemed Russia's strong presence on the international scene an opportunity for establishing peace and security in the world.
The Russian official, for his part, condemned the unjust sanctions against Iran and Russia, deeming them a blatant violation of international law.
The world no longer trusts the US to abide by its commitments, Slutsky added.
He also called for the removal of any barriers to expansion of trade and economic relations Iran and Russia.
Falahatpisheh is in Moscow to take part at tripartite talks on Syria.
