Abarth began his well-known association with Fiat in 1952, building the Abarth 1500 Biposto on Fiat mechanicals.
In the 1960s, Abarth was quite successful in hillclimbing and sports car racing, mainly in classes from 850cc to 2000cc, competing with Porsche 904 and Ferrari Dino. Hans Herrmann was a factory driver from 1962 until 1965, winning the 500 km Nürburgring in 1963 with Teddy Pilette.
Johann Abt, who later founded Abt Sportsline, was promised by Abarth that he could drive a factory car for nothing if he won all the races he entered – which Abt nearly did, winning 29 of 30, the 30th being in second.
Along with racing cars, Abarth produced high-performance exhaust pipes, diversifying into tuning kits for road vehicles, mainly for Fiat. While there were many competitors in this segment, such as Giannini, Abarth has largely dominated the Italian tuning market since the sixties. It was also associated in producing sports or racing cars with Porsche and Simca.
Fiat bought Abarth on July 31, 1971, and the racing team was bought by Enzo Osella. Abarth became the racing department of Fiat, managed by famed engine designer Aurelio Lampredi. Some models built by Fiat or its subsidiaries Lancia and Autobianchi were co-branded Abarth, the most famous being the Autobianchi A112 Abarth, probably the most popular "boy racer" vehicle of its time on account of its lightness and low price. Abarth prepared Fiat's rally cars like Fiat 124 Abarth and 131 Abarth. In the 1980s Abarth name was mainly used to mark performance cars like Fiat Ritmo Abarth 130 TC. The name was almost forgotten in 1990s and in 2000s it was used like a trim/model level, as in the Fiat Stilo Abarth.
In 2007 Fiat Automobiles SpA relaunched the brand with the Grande Punto Abarth and the Grande Punto Abarth S2000. The brand is separate from the main Fiat brand in a similar way that the Renault Sport brand is to the mainstream Renault. It is based in the Officine 83, part of the old Mirafiori engineering plant. The CEO is Harald Wester.
After years of sports competing on the continent, competition organisers announced the launch of the Abarth 500 GB series for 2010, a new high-profile sponsored race series, staged at Oulton Park, Cheshire, on 3–5 April 2010. Building on the success of its namesake Italian and European series, the GB competition brought together a plethora of driver talent from across the UK. The GB series was developed by the competitors for the competitors, by the sponsors for the sponsors, and by the fans for the fans.
All Abarth Assetto Corse (limited edition) cars are built in Turin, and are checked to the highest standards, and subject to a shakedown and test at the Fiat proving ground in Balocco.

Poland Looks to Hollywood To Transform Wartime Image (and Shift Holocaust Narrative)
Posted on December 19, 2015 in: Together|Jump To Comments
WARSAW — Poland's new conservative rulers think their country faces an image problem abroad and they want Hollywood to produce a Polish equivalent of "Braveheart" or "Pearl Harbor" to promote their country's positive place in history.
They also are looking to alter the narrative when it comes to Poland, where most of the Nazi death camps were located.
The right-wingers believe a major movie would make Poland feel proud of its achievements and win it more respect on the world stage at a time when many citizens are falling behind financially.
Critics say the government wants to exploit growing feelings of nationalism in order to boost its popularity and divert public attention from economic problems.
But, by putting an emphasis on patriotism, the government also risks stirring up more xenophobia at a time when Europe is grappling with a massive influx of refugees from the Middle East.
"There is no internationally recognized film about Polish history. I regret this," Culture Minister Piotr Glinski told Reuters in an interview.
"Why is this important? Every community needs something that brings it together … in order to build its strength and to win, or rather, not to lose, on the world stage. Economically and politically," he said.
Glinski's eurosceptic Law and Justice party (PiS) won an election in October promising greater economic equality and a nationalist response to growing influence from Brussels.
PiS has since announced plans for a major public relations campaign at home and abroad, including the possible film venture, as well as a drive to make schools, theaters and public television promote more patriotic themes.
Glinski, who is the most senior member of the cabinet after the prime minister, said the film could for example tell the story of the 1683 battle of Vienna or the 1944 battle of Monte Cassino, the latter one of the toughest in World War Two.
In Vienna, Poles helped defeat the Turks in what marked the end of the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe.
"Almost every wartime story of a Polish soldier is a ready-made script," Glinski said. The film would "tell the world who has protected our civilisation."
Asked if there were any movies that could serve as a model for the government's plans, he said: "Yes, there are many, particularly American ones: Saving Private Ryan or Pearl Harbor. The well-known patriotic production about the heroic history of the Scots – Braveheart – can also be used as an example."
Glinski said the goal was a "Hollywood-level" film and the government had been in touch with potential producers, although he did not say who they were.
COMPLICATED PAST
Another subject Glinski said should be addressed was Poland's relations with its Jewish community during the Nazi Holocaust, potentially reopening a painful debate that has dominated the Polish media in recent years.
A series of books and films have revealed that Poles were not only the victims of the Nazis but, sometimes, also the perpetrators of crimes against the Jews.
This has raised questions of collective guilt and reconciliation in a nation taught to believe under communism that, with a few exceptions, it had conducted itself honorably during a war that killed a fifth of the population.
It has also contradicted the view of many Poles that their centuries-old cohabitation with Jews was one of the most harmonious in Europe. Of the six million Jews who died during the Holocaust, about half had been living in Poland.
"Poland's image abroad suffers because, sometimes, Poland is said to be co-responsible for the Holocaust," Glinski said. "It is disturbing that Poland is ascribed fault here."
Last year, the Polish drama "Ida," a story of a Polish-Jewish orphan searching for her identity and family history, won the Oscar for best foreign language film but attracted heavy criticism from Polish nationalist groups.
Its director says the film – in which the protagonist is told by her parents' Polish neighbor that he killed them during the war – is a tale of human experience not history.
But some in Poland said it misrepresented reality.
Glinski said Poland could make a film about a Polish family that had hidden Jews from the Nazis during the war, in an effort to contradict revelations that some Poles had actively helped the Nazis in their genocidal campaign.
Critics say reopening the issue would damage Poland's efforts to come to terms with its complicated past.
"Every nation is guilty of something," said Konstanty Gebert, an expert with the European Council on Foreign Relations, a think-tank, in Warsaw.
"But that image improves when you discuss it and admit to it. This can earn you respect."—Reuters

Marko Stout depicted the beauty of the art form of the urban area.
Marko Stout is a well-known pop artist over the world because of his brilliant task in many artistic fields. The whole task of the Marko Stout surrounds the lifestyle of the urban people of New York City. The best way of expressing anything in itself is art. Various kinds of talent are expressed through the medium of art and people wish to express themselves with artistic activities. We can say well that Marko Stout is an artist who has expressed his latent talent via art. The activities of Marko Stout are so creative that his work has been spread among people of American as well as around the world.
We're used to seeing things in two dimensions — on a computer screen, in a newspaper or magazine, and so forth. We're also familiar with things that exist in more than three dimensions – for instance, having the sensation of height in an elevator as it goes down. But what about when we move to four dimensions? That's the whole point of Marko Stout's sculptures.
The cruel beauty of New York:
New York is not just a city. It's more than that. New York is a state of mind, a way of life. New York is full of energy and excitement and creativity
There was no denying that New York City was home to much more than just beauty: it also had its fair share of cruelty. And even Leslie agreed that things had worsened lately because of the pervasive depression and anxiety
Drawing the attention of the celebrities:
Celebrities are people who have a good amount of influence on the masses. They are often seen as a role model by many, which makes their opinions and ideas influential to others. This is why it's important to get the attention of these people and let them know that your company is a great place for them to advertise their products. The key is to make yourself more accessible to these celebrities. If they can't reach you, they won't be able to do business with you.
In this respect, Marko Stout is absolutely glamourous and attracts celebrities. The celebrities have accumulated his deeds. Paula, Abdul, and Debra messing have acknowledged the deed of Marko Stout as Cool and relatable.
Arousing the inspiration in the unknown fields:
People are prepared to find beauty in the artistic things of New York and they think that it is the best job of all time. Currently Marko stout has organized an exhibition including the harsh reality with eh infused sweet smell of flowers in the gallery.
The deeds of the Marko Stout with the vibrant hues and sounds along with every other sense of touch, the unknown regions also turn out to be so much more than it is hoped.
Marko Stout has achieved apex success of his works and he has been able to touch the people's lifestyle of the New York people completely. Actually, Mark Stout has added a new view of point in the artform of art across the world.

SATURDAY COMICS - "THE PRISONER"
Another Saturday, another look at a TV character in the comic book universe.....
For forty years, my favorite TV show had been 'The Prisoner'. But it has finally slipped to become "the new Number Two" after 'Doctor Who'.
Number Six is a Multiversal, existing in the fictional universes of Toobworld, the Tooniverse, BookWorld, the comic book dimension, and a world of audio dramas.
There was a four part comic book sequel gathered as "Shattered Visage" and only recently the internet got to see Jack Kirby's vision of 'The Prisoner'.
Here are some examples of Number Six in a four color world.....
Be seeing you......

TELE-FOLKS DIRECTORY - JOHN CANFIELD
John Canfield was a retired Congressman who took Aunt Bee Taylor out on a series of dates. After going out dancing every night, they both discovered that neither of them had the energy for such a whirlwind romance.
Congressman Canfield had been previously married but his wife died some years earlier. Not having her there at his side in Washington that last term in office to advise him may have been a contributing factor in Canfield's decision to retire.
They had a son, Benjamin, who was the head physician at the Eastman Medical Center in Los Angeles. Dr. Canfield served as a mentor back in the 1980s to a child prodigy doctor named Doogie Howser at Eastman.
Congressman Canfield's older brother had a daughter who went to university in Wisconsin. She liked the area so much that she decided to relocate there after graduating with her teaching degree in 1956. She spent only one year at the Grant Avenue school before moving on. (I'd like to think she taught for awhile in the third Rome, Wisconsin.)
Miss Canfield was a young and attractive, no-nonsense schoolteacher who taught a second grade class for the first time at Grant Avenue Grammar School in Mayfield, Wisconsin.
Unfortunately, we don't know what the first name of Miss Canfield was.
At any rate, Congressman Canfield and Aunt Bea didn't continue their relationship and he eventually moved to California in order to be closer to his son Ben.
It's my contention that John Canfield died in 1970....

Quark Expeditions announced that a new ship, with capacity for about 200 guests, will be launched in 2020. A steel-cutting ceremony took place at Brodosplit, the largest shipyard in Croatia, where the vessel is currently being built.
The ship will be 13,500 tons at 128 metres and with a beam of 21.5 metres and would feature a rapid zodiac and helicopter deployment system that allows for safe and efficient movement on and off the ship.
Passengers will benefit from 11 different cabin styles, modern spa and fitness facilities, indoor and outdoor dining options. The new vessel will go on sale in spring 2019, with the launch of its inaugural Antarctic 2020-2021 season.
"We are proud of our long list of firsts, like the first commercial passenger circumnavigation of Antarctica," said White. "We designed this ship to keep adding to those firsts in what we consider the most breathtakingly places on our planet.

Aid reform: Cash, World Bank stand out as localisation stalls
Contact: WhatsApp/Signal/SMS: +44 7808 791 267
Grand Bargain meeting, Geneva, 19 June 2017 (Melissa Pitotti/ICVA)
World Humanitarian Summit
This article is part of our in-depth coverage. Read more like this...
Every year, architects of humanitarian policy gather in Geneva at the UN for a week of high-level debate. At the end of last month, this ECOSOC forum heard a "glass half full" message on reform. But change doesn't come quickly to the aid game and it's hard to distinguish genuine movement from lip service.
Analysts say the growing role of cash-based aid and the juggernaut of the World Bank moving into the humanitarian space are the two most visible areas of change. In other parts of the ecosystem, disputes and inefficiencies continue: The humanitarian community has not yet shown it can put "egos and logos aside" to forge other fundamental changes, one senior analyst summarised.
Just over a year ago, governments, aid agencies, and others made hundreds of commitments to improve aid to people in crisis zones at the World Humanitarian Summit. A formal UN update will be published in September but in the meantime the recent reviews and discussions in Switzerland provided a useful snapshot of progress. Some issues, like more funding to local aid groups and impartial needs assessments, are becoming increasingly bogged down and contested.
Here are the key points and developments:
The Grand Bargain groups together some 50 donors and aid agencies representing a dominant proportion of humanitarian spending. They are set to continue their clubby improved efficiency and financial reform programme. At the Geneva gathering, Kristalina Georgieva, the former-EU-now-World Bank official was welcomed back as the champion of the process. But informed sources told IRIN that botched announcements had in fact named two women in the same, or similar, roles (British NGO veteran Barbara Stocking was also floated as the "eminent person" to act as figurehead/trouble-shooter).
Some Grand Bargain areas, including cash-based aid and closer links between development and humanitarian spending, have gained momentum without needing much of a push from the group, several analysts said. But the head of a developing country NGO confirmed to IRIN that "there is a clash" on localisation. Disagreements mar the key goal of providing local aid groups with a quarter of international aid money "as directly as possible". Two fundamental questions are at stake: which groups truly are "local" and what counts as "directly as possible"? The latest definitions of both still leave plenty of room for ambiguity, and the main coalition of "local" aid groups, the NEAR Network, has rejected them in an open letter, saying proposals don't go far enough. NEAR also rejected a narrow focus on training and organisational development, saying 30 years of "capacity building" had not resulted in "significant gains" in shifting the financial flows, and wouldn't now. One analyst, who like the others preferred not to be named, told IRIN that the current funding patterns were not respectful of the burden the local NGOs bear. "They take the greatest risks and are used to do the donkey work at the sharp end," the source said.
For a fuller picture of where things stand with the Grand Bargain, you can watch a video recording of a briefing and discussion event held at IRIN's Geneva office with the authors of a review by the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) and Kate Halff of the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response.
Whatever the assembled experts in Geneva thought, the "end users" of their humanitarian aid gave a mixed scorecard. New surveys commissioned from Haiti, Afghanistan, and Lebanon by Ground Truth Solutions show that recipients of international aid in general feel they have little say about the assistance that reaches them, and that it's not enough. Haiti's results were the most negative.
The "New Way of Working" is a tagline for a policy of greater alignment between development and humanitarian aid providers. A preparatory report for the Geneva ECOSOC meetings said the World Bank has $75 billion set aside for the world's poorest countries, many of which are the setting for emergency relief operations. Following the World Humanitarian Summit – and in view of the Syrian refugee situation – the World Bank's donor shareholders have adjusted its rules. It is now funding relief programmes in conflicts and refugee situations that couldn't have happened before. One unusual outcome is a $50 million project the Bank is financing with the International Committee of the Red Cross in Somalia.
Data released in the new Global Humanitarian Assistance report showed that funding for local NGOs stayed very low, at 0.3 percent of tracked funding. Even when all local stakeholders are added together, including governments, they still only accounted for two percent of funding last year. Overall, the humanitarian "industry" handled $27.3 billion in 2016, a six percent increase on 2015.
Fifteen more "analytical papers" on other themes of the World Humanitarian Summit were published for the ECOSOC meetings, including on internal displacement, protection of civilians, disability and inclusion, urban crises, and gender. At the end of it all, governments adopted a typically generic resolution calling on the UN to improve the coordination and effectiveness of emergency humanitarian assistance.

Train drivers at eight UK operators to strike on 30 July
Drivers at eight train operating companies are to go on strike on Saturday 30 July, bringing many services around Britain to a halt.
The unusually widespread industrial action by the Aslef union will see around 6,000 more drivers enter the fray in the national rail dispute.
The strike will come three days after another stoppage by the union RMT at Network Rail and train companies, with signallers among the 40,000 members taking action which will likewise cause severe disruption.
The Aslef strike will cover Chiltern, GWR, LNER, London Overground, Northern, Southeastern, TransPennine and West Midlands rail services. All voted this week by overwhelming majorities for strikes.
Mick Whelan, general secretary of Aslef, said the union did not want to strike but the move was forced by train companies failing to offer a pay rise after a three-year freeze.
Whelan said: 'We don't want to go on strike – strikes are the result of a failure of negotiation … We don't want to inconvenience passengers – and we don't want to lose money by going on strike.
'But we've been forced into this position by the train companies, driven by the Tory government. The drivers at the companies where we are striking have had a real terms pay cut over the last three years – since April 2019.
'And these companies are offering us nothing, saying their hands have been tied by the government."
He said the union remained open to talks.
The action, like the RMT's, is likely to affect the opening days of the Commonwealth Games, with West Midlands trains serving multiple venues including the aquatics centre.

Heart Disease Risk Increases With Even Slightly Elevated Blood Glucose Levels
New research from the University of Copenhagen shows that even slightly higher levels of glucose in the blood noticeably increase the risk of ischemic heart disease. The study involves more than 80,000 people and has just been published in the well-reputed Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
It is not only diabetics who risk heart-related problems resulting from lifelong above-average blood glucose levels. New research from the University of Copenhagen shows that even a slightly elevated level of blood glucose in non-diabetic people results in a conspicuously greater risk of ischemic heart disease.
These results surprised the research team behind the study, because until now cholesterol had quite legitimately been declared the paramount threat to global heart health.
"We know that diabetics and people with high cholesterol levels are prone to ischemic heart disease, but our study also made it possible to look at blood glucose level in isolation. It is surprising that even a slightly higher blood glucose value appears to be dangerous over a longer period - and that sugar alone makes a negative difference," says Marianne Benn, chief physician at Copenhagen University Hospital and associate professor at the University of Copenhagen.
Healthy people without diabetes have a normal, fasting blood glucose value of less than 6 mmol (=108 mg) glucose per litre blood. However, the study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows that over many years, a blood glucose value of only 1 mmol (=18 mg) per liter above normal increases the risk of heart attack by a surprising 69 per cent.
Sugar in the spotlight
Using observational studies combined with genetic analyses, researchers were able to show in a group of 80,522 Danes drawn from the general population that a slightly elevated level of blood glucose is enough on its own to damage the heart.
Observational studies are not enough to document a correlation between elevated blood glucose and heart disease. Participants in such studies who have elevated blood glucose levels may share characteristics or physical problems that influence heart and weight - in contrast, the genetic analyses used in the present studies strip distracting elements from the analyses from the three large population studies. Sugar gets the full focus.
The three population-based studies that provided the basis for the scientific article are: The Copenhagen General Population Study, The Copenhagen City Heart Study, and The Copenhagen Ischemic Heart Disease Study.
Research can be used for prevention
The scientists believe that glucose impacts the risk of ischemic heart disease directly, but are still unsure why. However, they recommend that the general intake of sugar should be limited for the benefit of health worldwide:
"The World Health Organization estimates that 6 per cent of all deaths are due to elevated blood glucose. Therefore, our results may potentially have great importance for the design of programmes to prevent heart disease and early death worldwide," explains Borge Nordestgaard, chief physician at Copenhagen University Hospital and clinical professor at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
Heart attacks, atherosclerosis and angina - also known as ischemic heart disease - are the most common cause of death among adults worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, 17 million people die each year from heart-related diseases - a number that is expected to rise in the years ahead.

Mark Warner Takes on Big Tech and Russian Spies
harib January 30, 2020 at 12:45 Make Money
In mid-November, as his House colleagues on Capitol Hill were consumed with questions about Ukraine and impeachment, Senator Mark Warner took to CNBC's Squawk Box to discuss what he saw as one of the most important problems facing the country: Fitbit.
Or, more specifically, the danger of allowing Google to swallow up the personal fitness and health-monitoring gadget and its terabytes of consumer data. "The Fitbit deal needs a high, high level of scrutiny," the Democratic senator from Virginia told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin. "Large platform companies have not had a very good record of protecting the data or being transparent with consumers. I can't totally blame them. If Congress doesn't set rules of the road, asking them to self-regulate is, frankly, just not a viable option."
Across the board, we as a country need to be hitting pause on the advances of Big Tech, Warner argued, channeling his inner trust-busting Teddy Roosevelt. He sees warning signs flashing all around, like Facebook's fledgling attempt to launch a digital currency, Libra, and Google's move into banking. Too much is happening without competition and government oversight, he said. "We have these giant tech platforms entering into new fields before there are some regulatory rules of the road," Warner told CNBC's viewers. "Once they get in, the ability to extract them out is going to be virtually impossible."
The words coming out of Mark Warner's mouth throughout 2019 would surely have stunned the Mark Warner who joined the Senate in 2009, amid the wave of techno-optimism that marked Barack Obama's presidential victory and the early years of his administration. Back then it seemed everyone in Washington, Warner chief among them, thought tech was the solution, not the problem.
Yet more recently, in Donald Trump's Washington, Warner has evolved into Capitol Hill's most reluctant and thoughtful tech critic, grilling Facebook, Twitter, and Google executives, lashing out in private and public over their intransigence, and pressing the companies to confront the role their platforms have played in undermining democracy.
Subscribe to WIRED and stay smart with more of your favorite writers.
As the vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he's also become one of Capitol Hill's most vocal advocates urging the country to take foreign technology threats seriously, both the possibility of kinetic real-world cyberattacks (such as disabling power plants or water systems) and already-underway information influence operations like the ones that upended the 2016 presidential election, as well as the looming challenges next-generation technologies pose to national security.
Earlier this month, even as the president's impeachment trial loomed for the Senate, he introduced—along with the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, North Carolina's Richard Burr—new legislation aimed at closing the United States' gap in 5G technologies with China by investing in Western alternatives to Huawei.
"Every month that the US does nothing, Huawei stands poised to become the cheapest, fastest, most ubiquitous global provider of 5G," Warner said in announcing the new bill. "Widespread adoption of 5G technology has the potential to unleash sweeping effects for the future of internet-connected devices, individual data security, and national security.
Together, his views, advocacy, and legislative work over the past three years have put Warner at the intersection of the biggest stories in American politics—foreign interference in US elections, the evolving consensus that Big Tech is out of control, and the growing tech rift between the US and China.
It's an unexpected role for a onetime venture capitalist who made a nine-figure fortune helping to usher in the technological age in which we all now live. And the 65-year-old senator remains enmeshed in the culture and politics of technology. His state is one of the top destinations for tech companies outside of the Bay Area (Amazon's new HQ2 is being built in Arlington). He wears Allbirds—the official sneaker of startup bros—sports an Apple Watch, and dabbles in winemaking. Warner's dotcom-billionaire friends compare their new Teslas and their private helicopters even as Warner's political career has thrived thanks to his commitment to the same rural Americans who supported Trump.

March 12, 2017 March 12, 2017 / Yasashii Fuyu
As the Neon Lights of the City turned on one after the other, turning the surrounding streets into a nimbus of colours and schemes, my strike team and I were just about to reach the outer areas of the Onxy Tiger subterranean shopping centre known as "Wong's Best Prices".
Not exactly a glamorous name, and not exactly the best area of the City either, but considering that we were expecting the Caledonian base to be something along the line of a secret underground base hidden somewhere behind some narrow maintenance corridor, realizing that their hideout was actually in a brightly lit shopping centre which even was accessible by cars, was kind of a nice surprise.
Apparently the access hatches we had uncovered eventually lead here, serving as some sort of emergency rescue corridors for the underground facilities, and the Caledonian Scoundrel had just been using them to secretly sneak around the areas above.
The Caledonian "Base of operation" also turned out to be little more than a block of buildings taken over by the thugs, but our infiltrator suggested that they were actually packing some heavy firepower in there, so careful approach was required.
As we came closer a short data burst arrived over the battle network and the image of an animated racoon wearing a scarf and a huge sake gourd on its back suddenly flashed up on my helmet display. Striking a dramatic pose with one hand stretched out and one behind the head the Racoon started to shake his head sideways and stomp down with one of his feet in front of him, while proclaiming "Yooooooo Taichoooooo!!! …" the part was followed by a "Dudunkun" drum sound "Beware there are some S.A.S Infiltrators lying in ambush, apparently they know we're coming…". Once this short message was delivered the Racoon stood upright, made a ninja hand gesture in front of him, and disappeared into a cloud of smoke with a nod, finally leaving me with a clear helmet display again.
I'd most likely never fully understand how Kabuki Queen's mind worked, but at least she was good at her job, and it was fun to be around her, even if it was sometimes hard to know whether you actually where around her or not.
Warned about the ambush I quickly sent Kanren Umibozu ahead to pinpoint the location of the ambush, and then took position on a nearby building that allowed for a good view of the surrounding area, including parts of the Caledonian base. "Lotus Justice" took position right next to me, and Father Anderson was covering the approach to my right with his deadly Viral Rifle.
The main body of my strike team, a formation of the two newly arrived Crane Agents and 3 Celestial Guards, where positioned behind the building I was covering to allow for quick deployment where needed.
As the first Caledonian soldiers came into view, I gave the sign to start the operation, and on my mark a smoke grenade from one of the celestial guards popped open right in front of me, covering my whole rooftop in a smoke screen.
Instantly my field of view changed a little as the Multi Spectral Visor of my Hsien Armour took over and compensated for the smoke, allowing me a clear view right through the smoke and at the enemies behind it.
The moment my smoke screen rose up some sort of automated alarm arose from the Caledonian base, and a archaic looking rocket platform that had previously been hidden behind a cardboard box sprung to live, shedding its cardboard skin and scanning the surrounding area for targets for its deadly payload.
Not too keen of the idea of fighting a mobile rocket launcher platform I still decided that I was in the best position to take care of it, and thus I aimed my hand crafted heavy machine gun at the thing and opened up fire through the smoke.
Apparently the sensors of the rocket platform where too weak to penetrate my smoke screen even though I fired right through it, and so a measly attempt of the thing to move back a little in hopes of avoiding some of the slugs coming its way was all it could do before it got shredded to pieces by the storm of my bullets.
Opening up the internal communication channels I messaged a quick "Beware, enemy automated weapon platforms spotted….."
"I swear it ladies, that's exactly how it happened! There I was, standing on this god forsaken rooftop in the middle of some run down shopping mall called "Wangs wobbly Wiener" or something like that. And just as I was down on my knees, praying together with my Holo Echoes for the Lord to cleanse this filthy place…..what? Why with the Holo Echoes you ask? Obviously the more pray the better right? Don't be stupid, of course that matters! But let me continue on damn it, and bring me another glass of Champaign, my throat is getting sore…"
"Aaah…that's better, now where was I? Oh right, praying to the Lord to cleanse the filthy bunghole that was that place. So right after I prayed and stood back up, making the sign of the cross on my chest, I notice some strange movement right on the other side of the street where the communication array and the boxes of orange juice had been standing…..only the boxes of Orange Juice where gone! And instead of them there was this big metallic Atek looking thing now, scanning the surroundings with a red laser beam. And what did it have on its back? A bunch of bloody rockets!!"
"So as I instantly duck down into cover and aimed my trusty little rifle "Judgement" at the thing, my com suddenly bursts into action and the Commander warns us of some sort of automated weapon platform…..a little too fucking late I think to myself as I aim down my sight at the thing. But then, just as I was about to squeeze the trigger and pepper the thing with sweet sweet Justice, everything suddenly turns red! The damned thing had pointed its laser scanner at my sight and had blinded me!! "
"Now you know, every other fucker out there with less experience than me would have cowered down in panic right then and there, but not me you know, I've fought blinded more often than most of those Caledonian dogs that day had ever fought in their entire life! So I just shut my eye and looked through the sight with my other eye, but I was too late!! The last thing I saw that day was a large puff of smoke as the thing shoot a salvo of rockets my way, and I shit you not, one of that damn things exploded right in my damn face, knocking me unconscious!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M FULL OF SHIT? I'm telling you that's how I got this scar right there; I took a bloody rocket to the face! And I live to tell the tale, the Lord's my witness! What? Yeah sure you can touch it, but only if I can touch yours as well! Mwahaha!"
Excerpt from Chapter 2.5 "Father Anderson, Legend or Liar" of "Drunk and Delirious, Bar Stories from The Neon Dragon", recorded by Chu Bu Ju for Maya Net.
A moment after I sent my warning I could see the rooftop next to me turn into a giant fireball, as one of the automated rocket platforms apparently found Father Anderson and peppered his position with rockets.
Pretty sure that even that tough son of a gun wouldn't be able to stay operational after a salvo like that I quickly opened Coms again "Strike Team, Anderson has been taken out, please proceed to flank the weapon platform with utmost care and then advance for the left flank."
A short "Roger that" confirmed my order, and a moment later I could see the squad advance from behind the building, and the Crane Agent with the Spitfire open up fire at the Rocket pod across the street.
A series of metallic screeches sounded the apparent success of the Crane Agent in taking down the thing, and with a nod towards my position, the Strike team advanced forward towards the left flank.
As they came around a huge planter the strike team suddenly stood right in front of a 5 man team of Caledonian Volunteers, led by a Highlander Grey and accompanied by some sort of redheaded girl with what looked like a primitive hacking device below her feet.
Without hesitation the Crane Agent let his Spitfire do the talking once more, and during a prolonged fire fight, he mowed down all 5 of them, as well as a S.A.S agent that had revealed himself at some point during the fire right in an attempt to ambush the Crane Agent.
At this point the Caledonians finally managed to assemble something that resembled a counter attack, and driven by the thirst for vengeance for their fallen comrades, and the smell of blood in the air, two Cameronians and a 45 Highlander suddenly popped in the open right across the street.
Apparently the creatures hadn't seen me taking out their rocket platform as both of them instantly started throwing smoke grenades in their path. I let them both pay for their stupidity by ripping one apart with my HMG, and heavily wounding the other one, my Multi Spectral Visor once again allowing me to see right through their smoke grenades.
Since "Lotus Justice" didn't have a Multi Spectral Visor she wasn't as lucky and her shoots didn't manage to connect to any of them, but her suppression fire still managed to severely restrict the movements of the wounded Cameronian.
The 45th Highlander that had also popped up in my field of view was smarter than his Cameronian counterparts, which isn't hard when compared to half human half dog creatures, and managed to dodge behind a nearby building, apparently searching for an entrance to reach Kabuki Queen, who was hiding inside of said building.
Apparently the Caledonian commander had had enough of me mowing down his troops, and a Cateran revealed himself on a roof of the Caledonian hideout, opening up fire on me with his T2 Sniper rifle from just outside of my Suppression fire range. Knowing of the deadly potential of these weapons I quickly went prone behind my cover as a bullet luckily bounced off my armour…the Emperors present already showing it's priceless worth!
With me out of the picture for now, the Caledonians grew bolder again, and the wounded Cameronian circled the little fast food stall that Kabuki Queen was hiding in, in an attempt to crawl through the window to get to her, but he apparently hadn't thought about "Lotus Justice", who now took the opportunity of a smoke free shot to finish off the wounded Cameronian!
Giving up on Kabuki Queen the Highlander then proceeded to throw a smoke Grenade on the street, and the enemy commander, a female Moramaer, used this to advance towards a favourable firing position, ignoring the bullets of "Lotus Justice" that where bouncing uselessly off her heavy armour plates.
While his commander advanced, a Caledonian Engineer took the opportunity to advance towards the Rocket Platform that had previously taken out Father Anderson, and with a few routine movements and a lot of luck, he managed to repair the bullet riddled thing back into operation, the search laser glowing back into action and instantly scanning its surroundings.
With the initiative back in our hands I instantly took the opportunity to shoot at the enemy commander, fully aware that his weapon was more than capable of wounding me, but unwilling to let go of this opportunity to put a quick end to this battle.
The ensuing fire fight was a rough one as countless bullets came flying in both directions, my superior position giving me the advantage in the offense, but the Moramaers heavy armour making her almost impervious to my bullets. After a while however the superior amount of firepower and the better position won the fire fight in my favour as the enemy commander first took a wound in the arm, and as she stumbled yet another one straight to the neck, right in between her helmet and chest plate.
Slowly getting surrounded on all sides and with their commander taken out, the Caledonians decided that it was time to fight another day, and as one of the S.A.S whisked away the body of her Commander, they retreated from the battlefield, leaving their base behind, my agents hot on their heels.
Most of them got away, their superior knowledge of the area allowing them to vanish, but not all of them where so lucky….
"Damn my commander for forcing me out here into the open with nothing but a Traktor Mul to protect me… ;-( "
"It's your duty Jeoffrey, don't be an arse."
"What do you mean it's my duty? I'm an Engineer, I fix things, not shoot them, if I had wanted to shoot stuff I would have become a Moramaer…"
"You're a Combat Engineer, Combat, you know, the thing where you shoot others?"
"Oh screw you Bourne, you know full well that there are no normal Engineering positions to be had around here, who would want a Caledonian Engineer in The Neon Dragon? They'd just laugh at me and walk away with their Holo shit and Cyber Yadayada.."
"Tough life man, now shut the fuck up and do your job, shouldn't you be guarding the area instead of writing here? You know them Asians, all Ninjas and shit…"
"Yeah right…Ninjas…as if. Wait a sec, something is not right with the Traktor Mul…"
"Everything alright there?"
"Yeah don't worry man, the power supply just seems to have gone out again, guess it got hit harder than I thought…just wait a sec…"
"Haaa haaa, very funny Bourne, would you stop the crap? I'm kind of busy here you know!"
"What are you even talking about you fool?"
"That dancing Racoon that just appeared on my system diagnostics screen, very funny, now cut the crap and let me work, if that thing isn't working I'm fucked when one of them Asians come around…"
"Bourne? Come on now, stop it! I'm serious!"
"…..?"
"Bourne?"
"Bourne is not here anymore…"
"What the….who are you?"
"Yoooooooooooooo!!!!"

Sorry Everyone for the extremely long break between my last story and this Battle Report. During the last month of my wive's pregnancy and in the months afterwards I simply wasn't in the mood to calmly sit down and prepare the pictures for the story I had already written…and I didn't want to force myself either, so this one was sitting on the bench for like half a year! (Crazy how quickly time flies by when you have two small children!)
Now that I am starting to get some hobby time again, and am finally back in the mood to actually use it to play games, I decided that it was time to reactivate my Blog and get things rolling again, so hopefully you will see more happening here soon, even though it'll most likely be at a slower pace than before….unless my Operation Wotan Hype gets too big and I start going crazy with games again ;-P
Sorry if some of the texts can't be read properly, I still need to relearn some of the things I did before my half year break…I hope my quality will rise soon!
A little sidenote from way back when I wrote this report:
Out battle got cut short a bit by my son parking a bunch of cars on the table and having to go to bed, so it ended a little bit earlier than it could have, but the winner was pretty clear at this point anyways, my wife having heavily underestimated the brutal firepower of both my Hsien Agent and my Crane Link Team.
I hope you liked the new style of battle report with the short extra stories from the perspective of other participants of the battle, I had a lot of fun writing them for sure 😉

A wheel is a circular device that is capable of rotating on its axis, facilitating movement or transportation whilst supporting a load (mass), or performing labour in machines. A wheel, together with an axle overcomes friction by facilitating motion by rolling. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by application of another external force. Common examples are found in transport applications. More generally the term is also used for other circular objects that rotate or turn, such as a Ship's wheel, steering wheel and flywheel.
The English word wheel comes from the Proto-Indo-European *kwekwlo-, which was an extended form of the root *kwel- meaning "to revolve, move around". This is also the root of the Greek κυκλος kuklos, the Sanskrit chakra, and Persian charkh, all meaning "circle" or "wheel", and also in Lithuanian, sukti means "to rotate". The Latin word rota is from the Proto-Indo-European *rotā-, the extended o-grade form of the root *ret- meaning "to roll, revolve".
Most authorities regard the wheel as one of the oldest and most important inventions, which originated in ancient Mesopotamia in the 5th millennium BC ( Ubaid period), originally in the function of potter's wheels. Near the northern side of the Caucasus several graves were found, in which since 3700 BC people had been buried on wagons or carts (both types). The earliest depiction of what may be a wheeled vehicle (here a wagon—four wheels, two axles), is on the Bronocice pot, a ca. 3500 BC clay pot excavated in southern Poland.
The wheel reached Europe and Western Asia in the 4th millennium BC, and the Indus Valley by the 3rd millennium BC. In China, the wheel is certainly present with the adoption of the chariot in ca. 1200 BC, although Barbieri-Low (2000) argues for earlier Chinese wheeled vehicles, circa 2000 BC. Whether there was an independent "invention of the wheel" in East Asia or whether the concept made its way there after jumping the Himalayan barrier remains an open question.
Although they did not develop the wheel proper, the Olmec and certain other western hemisphere cultures seem to have approached it, as wheel-like worked stones have been found on objects identified as children's toys dating to about 1500 BC.
The invention of the wheel thus falls in the late Neolithic, and may be seen in conjunction with the other technological advances that gave rise to the early Bronze Age. Note that this implies the passage of several wheel-less millennia even after the invention of agriculture. Looking back even further, it is of some interest that although paleoanthropologists now date the emergence of anatomically modern humans to ca.150,000 years ago, 143,000 of those years were "wheel-less". That people with capacities fully equal to our own walked the earth for so long before conceiving of the wheel may be initially surprising, but populations were extremely small through most of this period and the wheel, which requires an axle and socket to actually be useful, is not as simple a device as it may seem. Making and balancing a wheel requires a skilled Wheelwright.
Early wheels were simple wooden disks with a hole for the axle. Because of the structure of wood a horizontal slice of a trunk is not suitable, as it does not have the structural strength to support weight without collapsing; rounded pieces of longitudinal boards are required.
The spoked wheel was invented more recently, and allowed the construction of lighter and swifter vehicles. The earliest known examples are in the context of the Andronovo culture, dating to ca 2000 BC. Shortly later, horse cultures of the Caucasus region used horse-drawn spoked-wheel war chariots for the greater part of three centuries. They moved deep into the Greek peninsula where they joined with the existing Mediterranean peoples to give rise, eventually, to classical Greece after the breaking of Minoan dominance and consolidations led by pre-classical Sparta and Athens. Celtic chariots introduced an iron rim around the wheel in the 1st millennium BC. The spoked wheel had been in continued use without major modification until the 1870s CE, when wire wheels and pneumatic tires were invented.
The invention of the wheel has also been important for technology in general, important applications including the water wheel, the cogwheel (see also antikythera mechanism), the spinning wheel, and the astrolabe or torquetum. More modern descendants of the wheel include the propeller, the jet engine, the flywheel ( gyroscope) and the turbine.
The wheel is a device that enables efficient movement of an object across a surface where there is a force pressing the object to the surface. Common examples are a cart drawn by a horse, and the rollers on an aircraft flap mechanism.
The wheel is not a machine, and should not be confused with the wheel and axle, one of the simple machines. A driven wheel is a special case, that is a wheel and axle. Note that wheels predate driven wheels by about 6000 years.
Wheels are used in conjunction with axles, either the wheel turns on the axle, or the axle turns in the object body. The mechanics are the same in either case.
Bearings are used to reduce friction at the interface.
If dragging a 100 kg object for 10 m along a surface with μ = 0.5, the normal force is 981 N and the work done (required energy) is (work=force x distance) 981 × 0.5 × 10 = 4905 joules.
Now give the object 4 wheels. The normal force between the 4 wheels and axles is the same (in total) 981 N, assume μ = 0.1, and say the wheel diameter is 1000 mm and axle diameter is 50 mm. So while the object still moves 10 m the sliding frictional surfaces only slide over each other a distance of 0.5 m. The work done is 981 x 0.1 x 0.5 = 49 joules.
Additional energy is lost at the wheel to road interface. This is termed rolling resistance which is predominantly a deformation loss.
The wheel has also become a strong cultural and spiritual metaphor for a cycle or regular repetition (see chakra, reincarnation, Yin and Yang among others). As such and because of the difficult terrain, wheeled vehicles were forbidden in old Tibet.
The winged wheel is a symbol of progress, seen in many contexts including the coat of arms of Panama and the logo of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
The introduction of spoked ( chariot) wheels in the Middle Bronze Age appear to have carried somewhat of a prestige. The solar wheel appears to have a significance in Bronze Age religion, replacing the earlier concept of a Solar barge with the more "modern" and technologically advanced solar chariot.
The wheel is also the prominent figure on the flag of India. The wheel in this case represents law ( dharma). It also appears in the flag of the Romani people, hinting to their nomadic history and their Indian origins.
In recent times, the custom aftermarket car/automobile roadwheel has become a status symbol. These wheels are often incorrectly referred to as " rims". The term "rim" is incorrect because the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel (where the tire is mounted), just as with a coffee cup or meteor crater. These "rims" have a great deal of variation, and are often highly polished and very shiny. Some custom "rims" include a bearing-mounted, free-spinning disc which continues to rotate by inertia after the automobile is stopped. In slang, these are referred to as " Spinners".


Some people are so into Pokémon GO that they're bringing it into their workplaces — so it's natural that employers might want to lay down some rules.
But this set of Pokémon GO rules from Mexican design firm Gallo Design might not be what you'd expect.
The list, which has gained traction on Reddit, sets out a bunch of funny rules for employees to follow, like everyone being on Team Mystic, and a general duty to reclaim the Gallo Gym if it gets taken (at lunch, of course).

Honey is a new approach to fighting antibiotic resistance
Honey could be one sweet solution to the serious ever growing problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, says a research.
Medical professionals sometimes use honey successfully as a topical dressing but it could play a larger role in fighting infections, reported health news.
The unique property of honey lies in its ability to fight infection on multiple levels making it more difficult for bacteria to develop resistance.
That is it uses a combination of weapons including hydrogen peroxide, acidity, osmotic effect, high sugar concentration – all of which actively kill bacterial cells.Read More »Honey is a new approach to fighting antibiotic resistance

Determinants of Hibah Giving Behavior
Nadzirah Mohd Said ,
Ram Al Jaffri Saad
The frozen estate in Malaysia is increasing year to year and hibah has been seen as one of the solution to reduce the number of frozen estate in Malaysia. Nevertheless, the previous researches indicate that the hibah giving behavior among Muslim in Malaysia is still low. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to determine factors influencing hibah giving behavior. The proposed model was introduced to examine whether attitude, religious value and service quality are the determinants of hibah giving behavior. The review of past literatures conceptualized that attitude and religious value as the internal factors while service quality as the external factor that can influence the hibah giving behavior. Three hypotheses were proposed to see the relationship between variables and hibah giving behavior. Lastly, both theoretical and practical implications were also discussed in this study.
Keywords: Religious valueAttitudeService QualityHibah Giving Behavior
Hibah is a gift from one person to another person without consideration. The practice of hibah is encouraged in Islam. In the context of Islamic wealth management, hibah is one of the instrument instead of faraid, wasiat, waqf, zakat and others. Hibah is giving during the lifetime of donor to whoever he want even for the person that have no family relations with him. Hibah has played an important role in reducing the frozen estate problems among Muslim in Malaysia. Statistics of frozen estate in Malaysia is increasing year to year and researchers have suggested hibah as one of the solution to reduce the problems. The frozen estate problems should be solved because it can give negative impacts on the economy and social of Muslim in Malaysia.
Even though the society already knew about the importance of estate planning for themselves, but the hibah giving behavior among Muslim in Malaysia is still low. Statistics from Syariah Judiciary Department Malaysia in 2013 showed that 66 Billion inheritance claims are still frozen. The failure to manage the inheritance claims showed us that this is the indication of weakness of estate planning behavior among society. Muda (2008) stressed that hibah is important tool and should be implemented in order to avoid disputation over inheritance that can lead to the frozen estate problems. The donors among Muslim in Malaysia should be encouraged to give hibah even during their lifetime to reduce and solve this problems (Kamarudin & Alma'mum, 2013; Mujani, Rashid, Wan Hussain, & Yaakub, 2012; Rasyid & Ahmad, 2013; Yaakub, 2013) . Thus, the low level of hibah giving behavior among Muslim has raised a question of what factors contribute to the hibah giving behavior in Malaysia. Therefore, this study will explore the factors influencing hibah giving behavior.
While there are many researches on Islamic surrounding behavior such as zakat, purchasing halal product, choosing Islamic bank and waqaf, the study on hibah giving behavior as an estate planning is still lacking (Kamarudin & Alma'mum, 2013). In recent years, the research on hibah as Islamic estate planning had been focusing area but the scope are limited to the ruling and operational mechanism of hibah only. There are very limited empirical study in hibah area especially on hibah giving behavior. Thus this study is attempt to propose a research model for examining the factors that will influence hibah giving behavior among Muslim in Malaysia.
The paper is structured as follows; Section 2 presents the literature review and development of research hypotheses. Then, the research conceptual framework is discussed in Section 3 . The paper ends with the discussions and implications in Section 4 .
Literature Review and Hypotheses Development
Hibah giving behaviour
Hibah comes from an Arabic term "wahaba" which means giving without consideration. In the context of Islamic wealth management planning, hibah is a giving to someone else during the lifetime of donor. The scope of property given in hibah in this study including vehicles and buildings such as land and house.
Hibah, gift and sadaqah are different even their definitions are almost same. The difference is in terms of the objective of giving. When someone give something to someone else because of appreciation and affection, it is a gift while if he give something to get reward from Allah, its called sadaqah (Zuhaili, 1999). As a conclusion, every gift and sadaqah is a hibah but not all hibah are gifts and sadaqah (Muda, 2008).
Hibah giving has been executed since the days of Prophet Muhammad and he himself gave and received hibah (Zuhaili, 1999). In Malaysia, in the context of hibah as estate planning, the Muslims have long practiced hibah but mostly verbally without any document (Muhammad, 2011). Hibah given to a family member such as parents to their children, husbands to wives and grandparents to grandchildren.
Nowadays, with the establishment of many estate planning institutions such as Amanah Raya Berhad, the Selangor Islamic Religious Council, Wasiyyah Shoppe Sdn Bhd and As-Solihien Trusties Berhad, people can choose either to do it alone or with institutions involved in ensuring that they meet all hibah principles and conditions in Islam.
Religious Value
Religious value is an individual practice on Islamic matters. It includes obligatory ibadah (act of worship) such as obligatory prayers, paying zakat, fasting on the month of Ramadhan and going to hajj if capable. Other than that is performing matters that is encouraged in Islam, for example, reading al-Quran and religious book. Even though religious value is not an easy thing to measure (Ghazali, 1989), but the religious factor should be tested as it is believed to play an important role in influencing the Muslim behavior (Idris, Bidin, & Saad, 2012). Weaver & Agle (2002) also stressed that the religion influenced various behavior including ethical behavior.
Religious factor has been reported as one of the important factors in influencing various behavior especially in Islamic environment behavior. Bakar & Rasyid (2010) found a significant relationship between religious value and zakat compliance behavior. In the case of waqf giving environment, Osman, Mohammed, & Fadzil (2015); Osman (2014) also reported that the religious factors positively influence this giving behavior. In another case, Tang & Tang (2010) found that the religious value significantly influence unethical behavior. Consistent with all the above arguments, this study expect that Muslims who have a high degree of religious value will have high tendency to do hibah. Thus, this hypothesis is develop:
H1 Religious value has a positive influence on hibah giving behavior.
Ajzen (1991) defines attitude toward behavior as one appraisal towards behavior. The appraisal is separated into two. The first one is the good evaluation as it will give positive evaluation towards behavior, and the second is the bad evaluation which will give negative perception towards behavior. In this study, attitude towards hibah means how a muslim evaluate hibah as a good or bad and it will impact their decision to do hibah.
Amin, Rahman, Jr, & Hwa (2011) reported that attitude was significantly influence the behavioral intention to use Islamic personal financing in Malaysia. Other studies in entrepreneurship (Kautonen, van Gelderen, & Tornikoski, 2013; Malebana, 2014), information technology (Mishra, 2014; Teo & Lee, 2010), halal food and halal product (Alam & Sayuti, 2011; Lada, Tanakinjal, & Amin, 2009) and zakat context (Saad, Bidin, Idris, & Hussain, 2010) also recognized that positive attitude lead to greater behavioral intention. Consistent with the discussion, it is expected that Muslim who have positive attitude towards hibah will be more likely to give hibah and vice versa. Thus, this hypothesis was developed:
H2 Attitude has positive influence on hibah giving behaviour.
Service quality provided by organizations play an important role in ensuring customer satisfaction and encourage Muslim to do hibah. Based on disconfirmation theory, Bitner (1990) stressed that customer will satisfied with the quality if it's meet the expectation or more, towards the service. This is consistent with the definition by Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Berry (1985), service quality is the comparison between customer consideration and their perception of the organization service. Thus in this study, service quality is defined as the Muslim perceptions toward service provided by hibah institutions including facility, communication and the accuracy of the information.
Mittal & Gera (2013) reported that the service quality is an important factor in influencing customer behavioral intention in public sector banking in India. Chou, Wu, & Huang (2014) also found significant influence of service quality towards customer behavior in the chain store restaurants. Based on the above arguments, this study expect that the service quality of hibah institutions will contribute to a better hibah giving behavior. Therefore, the following hypothesis is formulated.
H3 Service Quality has a positive influence on hibah giving behavior.
Research Conceptual Framework
The research conceptual framework below are proposed based on literature review and development of hypothesis discussed in section 2 . The model is illustrated in Figure 1 . In this model, independent variables are expected to have direct positive relationship with dependent variable which is hibah giving behavior. The independent variables include both internal factors which are attitude and religious value and external factor which is service quality in influencing hibah giving behavior. It is expected that hibah giving behavior will be significant if all internal and external factors also have positive factors.
Figure 1: Research Conceptual Framework for Hibah Giving Behavior.
The purpose of the study is to determine factors influencing hibah giving behavior. Based on the past literatures, religious value and attitudes as the internal factors and service quality as the external factor are expected to influence hibah giving behavior. The theoretical implication for this study is the proposed research model on hibah giving behavior. Researchers can applied this model for further research on hibah issues. Besides, the author integrates past literatures especially in Islamic surroundings behavior to clarify hibah giving behavior among muslims.
This study also gives practical contributions to the hibah institutions by identifying the factors that can influence the Muslim community to do hibah. As the research on hibah giving behavior are still lacking, hibah institutions had failed to understand the factors that lead to the frozen estate problem. This study is trying to solve the problem by determining the factors influencing hibah giving behavior. There is no empirical evidence provided as the paper is only a conceptual paper. As part of ongoing research, authors will continue to measure the items from the literature and validate the proposed model empirically.

Erhard Bodenschatz (1576 in Lichtenberg – 1636 in Groß-Osterhausen) was a German pastor, cantor and composer. He was cantor at Schulpforta from 1600 to 1603 and pastor in Groß-Osterhausen/Querfurt from 1608 onwards.

He produced several motets. Among his best known works was the edited motet collection Florilegium Portense, meaning "Schulpforta's anthology". It was published in two volumes in Leipzig in 1618 and 1621 and held 365 motets by 58 composers, giving a good insight into the 17th century choral repertoire in Saxony and Thuringia. Johann Sebastian Bach is known to have been familiar with the work, using it and ordering further copies for the Thomanerchor whilst he was Thomaskantor.
