Best of the week's news 16 December 2016: analysis from E&T's editorial staff
By E&T editorial staff
Published Friday, December 16, 2016
E&T staff pick their favourite news stories from the past week and reflect on what these latest developments in engineering and technology mean to them.

Electrode stimulator gives quadriplegic control over hands
This wonderful piece of news is nothing short of a Christmas miracle! A new electrode stimulator developed by researcher at UCLA has allowed a paralysed man to move his hands again. The patient, a 28 year old who suffered a broken neck from a motorcycle accident five years ago, was paralysed from the neck down, but has been able to regain some movement in his hands, after having an electrode planted in his spine alongside the damaged nerves. This year has been really tough on the old news front, with a lot of fairly terrible things occurring across the world, but there's also been a fair few fantastic medical developments - case in point, this little chap. It seems like most weeks there is a new piece of kit developed to help out those with reduced mobility, whether it's a high-tech low-cost prosthetic, or something as mind blowing as this. Medical research like this fills me with hope for a brighter, happier, more mobile future.

Temperature-controlled nanorockets deliver medicine to diseased tissue
Thunderbirds are Go! Well, perhaps not. But wouldn't it be cute if the rockets had little people inside, controlling the ship to get to the bad parts of the body and fix them? A bit like the 1966 American sci-fi Fantastic Voyage? I love that film. I used to imagine zooming through the arteries in a ship, combating all the diseases that looked like gross, slimy monsters with dagger teeth. Good times. This nanorocket thing is pretty cool, too.

Tech billionaires create $1bn fund to accelerate clean energy innovation
The private sector is often much derided, but when governments and public institutions fail us, we can sometimes be appreciative of the apparent generosity of people much, much richer than most of the planet's inhabitants, who are prepared to put their private money where their public mouth is. With world governments dragging their Big Oil-shackled feet on clean energy initiatives, it looks like very good news that a group of tech billionaires, led by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has announced a new $1bn fund to help finance research into innovative emissions-free energy technologies.
Skyrocketing methane emissions raise concerns over climate change targets
If nothing else, you should check out this story for the wonderful image accompanying it and the sly look in the cow's eye. "Methane emissions? Moi?"
Dickon Ross, editor in chief
I'm dreaming of a 2050 Christmas
The latest issue of E&T is a seasonal celebration, looking at the future of food and drink. What will your Christmas dinner or in fact any other meal look like in 2050? It may have changed beyond recognition. Find out why turkeys one day would vote for Christmas. If only they had the vote of course.
Low cost 3D-printed hand making prosthetics more affordable
Engineering can change a life for the better. Engineering combined with empowering technology like 3D printing can change many more lives for the better – fast. The problem with prosthetics is that they have to be custom made in small quantities which makes them expensive and out of the reach of many of the poorest in the world. People also outgrow them and have to wait for another. That's no problem for 3D printing. 3D printing has already changed dentistry and it's going to be huge in medicine too – for modelling, making prosthetic parts of organs as well as limbs like this – even custom one-off instruments for operations.

X-ray advance offers superior bomb detection and cancer diganostics
An X-ray machine that can detect different shapes and types of matter has been developed by University College London engineers. They are now working with Nikon Metrology UK on two separate applications - a security scanner to detect weapons and explosives hidden in baggage, and a system that would let surgeons scan people with breast cancer and see immediately which tissue is malignant and which is not, so they can remove as much as necessary and no more. The technology even detects tissue that doesn't normally show up on X-ray images, such as cartilage.
Malawi and UNICEF begin testing drones for disaster relief
Unicef and the government of Malawi are investigating how drones could be used to assist in disasters such as droughts or floods. The project will look at using drones to gather imagery of affected areas, deliver emergency supplies and provide mobile phone and Wi-Fi coverage in cut-off regions. There's a lot of talk about potential uses of drones, so it's worth remembering here that they are only valuable as components of wider systems, and it's likely that different kinds of vehicle will be needed for different purposes (in terms of range, endurance and load-bearing capacity). If this project helps with understanding what's most useful that's a good thing. This is still a very new area, and there's a lot to be learned.

Educational tech toys: for life, or just for Christmas?
There's nothing new in the idea that today's kids are unlikely to have jobs for life. Through necessity rather than choice, accelerating changes in technology mean they're going to have to be adaptable, shifting to a new line of work when the one they've been employed in gets reassigned to a robot or simply becomes obsolete. One expert has predicted that around two-thirds of youngsters just starting out in school will one day work in careers that don't even exist yet. Scary, but smart parents will be doing less worrying and more thinking about how they can equip their offspring to survive and thrive in this brave new world, and one way of doing that is by ignoring the shiny plastic junk that'll be broken by Boxing Day and putting something more challenging under the Christmas tree. This year, Santa has s choice of kits that teach coding, and the sort of adaptable thinking that's going to be a huge asset in years to come. Raspberry Pi and the BBC micro:bit will be familiar to some recipients from school, others like SmartGurlz, which adds a robotic element to traditional feminine favourites like dolls' houses, are less overtly educational. Give them a look if you've left it late to pick up gifts. And don't worry too much about your kids spending time on this sort of plaything. As one educational researcher reckons, they're likely to be inventing their future jobs based on playing with Minecraft.

This living room interior design is named "The Sky. The Sea. The Ships". You must have guessed that nautical theme was selected for a reason. The thing is that this living room was re-designed for a true romantic, an ex-navy, whose hobby is ship modeling. But just by coincidence, the master wasn't satisfied with pure nautical style that seemed most logical in this case. He wanted navy theme to be represented in small hints, like soft sough of sea waves or little breeze. Let's see how the designer team managed to implement this idea!
The first hint of sea theme is a wall painting that serves as an interior of a big open bookstand. It was decorated like a peculiar aquarium. And like in a true under-the-sea world, its water is varied and composed of multiple hues. Darker bluish tints symbolize evening, night-time and storm, while lighter colors stand for sunny days and flat calm. To create this painting the team used several hues of matte blue paint.
If you want to decorate your home the same way, it's pretty easy. At first you should outline the perimeter of the future painting with a painter's tape, just to make sure that the lines won't go beyond the bookstand. Then paint is applied with a roller. Don't worry if the stripes appear to be uneven – this won't spoil the idea a bit. And joints of different paint colors can be safely trimmed with a paintbrush.
St. Andrew's Cross is an X-shaped blue and white cross of saint apostle and martyr Andrew, who used to be a seaman before meeting Jesus Christ. Now it symbolizes his patronage to all people, whose jobs are connected with the sea.
So, in the study zone of the living room this flag composes a piece of wall décor made of blue double-sided adhesive tapes. The flag reminds of the master's past and the framed pictures above it refer to his nice present-time hobby – ship modeling.
The artworks are arranged right opposite the bookstand. And if the latter refers to volatile and unpredictable state of the sea, the paintings depict the sky, which for sailors is just the continuation of the sea over the horizon.
One more detail hinting at nautical theme is the flooring. Firstly, it's made of teak wood, which is the most popular flooring material on ships. And secondly, the seams of light parquet boards are decorated with dark wood insertions, imitating resin used to embed the joints of deck floor boards.
Sea fans will surely appreciate a sisal rug: initially this material was used for making deck ropes. And those who are too distant from nautical history will be interested in its natural origin and wear resistance.
Besides the above-mentioned elements of the interior, nautical style is represented in small details arranged on the table and open shelves. For example, flower pots shaped as sea boats.
On the whole the interior turned out to be very symbolic, and though it's not pure nautical style, one can surely find its delicate hints. And in general, it's a stylish living room with a work zone – contemporary, comfortable and homey.

Cloyes Gear and Products Names New Chief Financial Officer
Cloyes Gear & Products, Inc. has hired Troy Angst as chief financial officer.
Cloyes Gear and Products, Inc., which is backed by Hidden Harbor Capital Partners, has hired Troy Angst as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately, the company announced.
Based in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and founded in 1921, Cloyes designs, develops, manufactures and distributes timing drive systems and components for replacement applications in the automotive aftermarket and high-performance racing segment.
Angst brings 30 years of experience to Cloyes, joining the company most recently from Sharp Tooling Solutions in Romeo, Michigan, where he served as Chief Financial Officer. In that role, he was a member of the executive team responsible for strategic planning and operational decisions for the company as well as overseeing all finance functions.
Prior to Sharp Tooling Solutions, Angst served as Chief Financial Officer for Tritec Performance Solutions in Fenton, Michigan, where he was a member of the executive team which acquired and integrated three privately held businesses and successfully sold Tritec Performance Solutions to a large strategic buyer.
Angst has extensive experience with private equity-backed companies, the execution and integration of mergers/acquisitions, operational finance, financial analyses, system know-how and manufacturing/quality operations.
"We are very excited to have Troy join the team at Cloyes. He is a proven leader and successful CFO with a great track record of success in maximizing operational efficiency and leading both organic and inorganic sales growth," said John Hanighen, CEO of Cloyes. "Furthermore, the addition of Troy bolsters the organization's internal finance and analytics capabilities as we continue to execute against our growth strategy and aggressively capitalize on Cloyes' premium leadership position within the automotive aftermarket."
Angst holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Western Michigan University.

iPloy Staffing provides a variety of outsourcing strategies: dedicated staffing, the shared agent solution, our "power of flexibility" program, and our bucket hour and project-based solutions.
The dedicated staffing solution is designed to help our clients meet their medium- to long-term needs. Dedicated staffing is especially suited to new businesses, or even to large ones that are not yet prepared to create a branch in a strategic location.
There are two main advantages to selecting the shared agent solution: reduced cost and having staff members handle different customers. If you have a tight budget and don't want to outsource a team of dedicated call center agents, this is probably the best option.
Flexibility is a must in today's competitive business environment. iPloy's "the Power of Flexibility" solution provides ways of paying your staff for only the actual productive hours they put in.
Bucket-hour outsourcing can be described as the practice of paying the total cost of employing a virtual staff for the bucket of time (number of hours) that they work for an organization. Bucket outsourcing is ideal for companies who want to employ virtual staff on projects for limited periods of time.

Why are people leaving New York? Cuomo says weather.
(AP) Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday blamed upstate weather for New York's continuing population decline, a day after his Republican challenger said Cuomo's economic policies had failed to stanch the flow of migrants heading to other states.
(AP) — A three-day Phish music festival was scuttled by dirty water from torrential rains on Thursday, with health officials denying a permit just as the rock band was about to go onstage for its traditional sound check jam.
"We are still in shock," the band said in a statement on its website . "Our families are here, our gear is set, our tents are up. We keep waiting for someone to come over and tell us that there is a solution, and that the festival can go on. Unfortunately, it is not possible."
Nine months after installing Gregory Vincent as president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, the colleges will be looking to replace him.
Vincent resigned from his post Friday, effective immediately, after allegations that he may have plagiarized portions of his doctoral dissertation at the University of Pennsylvania in 2004. The announcement of Vincent's resignation came in a message sent to HWS faculty, staff, and students from Chair of the HWS Board of Trustees Thomas S. Bozzuto, and was obtained by WXXI.
(AP) New York students will sit for the first round of annual Common Core testing this week.
English language arts assessments for public school students in grades 3-8 starts on Wednesday. Math testing is next month.
The state has reduced the number of testing days for each subject from three days to two and made other changes in response to opposition that's led large numbers of students to opt out of the high-stakes assessments in recent years.
The unemployment rate in New York State edged slightly downward in December 2017. New York had a 4.6 percent unemployment rate, down a tenth of a percent from the previous month.
Joel Seligman has resigned as president and CEO of the University of Rochester, effective February 28, 2018. His resignation comes hours after an independent investigation found that while there was no evidence of a hostile work environment in the Brain and Cognitive Sciences department, there was inappropriate behavior by Professor Florian Jaeger.
Governor Andrew Cuomo gives his State of the State address on Wednesday (on WXXI Radio & TV at 1 p.m.), with one of his proposals aimed at making sure students are well-nourished.
Cuomo revealed his "No Student Goes Hungry" program on Wednesday and it has five ways that the Governor wants to help the nearly 1 million kids from kindergarten to college that the state says don't have consistent access to nutritious food.
(AP) Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pardoned 59 people for nonviolent crimes, including 18 immigrants whose years-old convictions put them at risk of deportation despite otherwise law-abiding lives.
The governor announced his latest clemency grants Wednesday.
Cuomo has issued several previous immigration-related pardons. They don't automatically end deportation proceedings but allow someone to petition for relief.
Wednesday's announcement also includes 39 "youth pardons" to clear the records of people who were 16 or 17 when convicted and have been crime-free since.

(NASDAQ:HMSY), Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE:HAE), and Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSM) to get a better sense of its popularity.
With all of this in mind, we're going to view the key action encompassing Lifelock Inc (NYSE:LOCK).

Heading into the fourth quarter of 2016, a total of 26 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey held long positions in this stock, up 18% from the second quarter of 2016.

Rabat – Chefchaouen (or simply "Chaouen") is a city located in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco. Its buildings appear to be washed in various shades of blue—hence Chaouen's endearing nickname, "the Blue Pearl" of Morocco.
The city has long been known to backpackers for its surreal hiking spots and easy accessibility to hashish (cannabis), which prospers in the dry mountain climate. The city's relaxing and secluded atmosphere has attracted many tourists seeking to escape their rushed city lives.
The origin of the city's blue color is debated—some maintain the buildings were painted blue to ward off bugs, while others say a Jewish population changed the color of the buildings from white to blue in the 1930s. Blue is a symbol of spirituality and proximity to the sky and heavens.
Regardless of origin, it is safe to assume that the blue color is now maintained for both aesthetic and touristic purposes.
Hike up to the Spanish Mosque. The mosque is the best place to appreciate a panoramic view of Chaouen without having to hike very far (about 10 minutes from the start of the trail). The best times to visit are at sunrise and at sunset, when the city is set aglow by the angles of the sun.
Shopping in the medina (old town). Different regions of Morocco specialize in different goods. If you are planning to shop in Chaouen, take a look at the wool items (carpets, blankets, and clothing). Additionally, there are two popular argan oil shops in the area which sell merchandise ranging from perfumes to shampoos and body oils. Signs are out to help guide tourists to the locations.
Check out Pizzeria Mandala and Restaurant Assaada. Pizzeria Mandala is an authentic Italian restaurant and one of the most highly rated restaurants in the area. It is very small and quite popular, so go a bit early for either lunch or dinner. Restaurant Assaada offers a wide variety of Moroccan cuisine and is also one of the most highly acclaimed eateries.
Explore the old medina. In addition to shops, the old medina contains some very scenic spots that are popular for photography. Part of the fun is hunting for new blue doors, staircases, and walls in different corners of the medina.
Hike up to the Akchour Waterfalls. For those more athletically inclined, the hike up from Chaouen to see the Akchour Waterfalls is well worth the effort. It takes approximately two hours to hike up and two to come back down. Swimming in the falls is permitted.
You might be approached by hashish dealers. Possessing hashish is illegal in Morocco and can result in jail time. Additionally, the government employs undercover police in Chaouen who may approach and claim to offer hashish, but are actually trying to catch dealers. Dealers may target foreigners with offers of hashish, knowing they may not be aware of laws in Morocco.
The city is very hilly. As Chaouen is an older city located in the mountains, the majority of the streets are cobbled and unlevel. Appropriate footwear is recommended and travelers with disabilities may want to consider a more accessible destination.
Spanish, French, and Arabic are all spoken, but English is less common. While some people in Chefchaouen (particularly shop owners) know a few words of English, you may have some trouble communicating if you do not know basic Arabic, French, or Spanish. Restaurants do typically provide an English version of menus.
You only need a couple of days. Unless you are looking to hike extensively around Chaouen, the major attraction is admiring the city's unique color and shopping for local goods. Some people even experience Chaouen as a day trip.


I wanted to go through a Win install because I thought that it might be more accessible for a wider range of people – and also because I've done a successful Win install, but haven't tried it on Linux/Unix/Mac OS X. However, Graham has volunteered to help on Linux installs so I can't see a problem with this.
Ok, no problem. I'm interested in both/either at this stage. This is much appreciated (and a great idea).


We understand the importance of routine with patients taking many different medications. We especially understand how important this routine is for seniors who have taken their medication the same way for years. When we designed Monitor, we focused on passive technology that would not require any extra steps or any new technology to learn.
Monitor is simply a new place to store your medication box, we take care of the rest.
Monitor is designed to work seamlessly with NVOLVE Minders. Once activated, it will watch when medication is being taken. If doses are taken early, reminders from Minder will not be sent for that dosing period.
In addition to ensuring you take your medication on time, Monitor will ensure medication is taken correctly. Monitor helps us keep an eye on how medication is taken through our advanced sensors. If we detect that doses have been taken incorrectly, e.g. an entire day's worth of medication taken at once, we have an Incorrect Dose series of escalations that will go out through NVOLVE Minders.


1. Put the rice in a bowl and cover it with warm water. Let it stand 20 minutes while you chop your ingredients. Then pour the rice into a strainer and let it dry for 5-10 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy pot on medium heat until it shimmers and heat radiates off it. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until rice turns golden brown and smells like popcorn.
3. Add the vegetables and cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes.
4. Add the water and salt and bring to a boil, then turn heat down so the liquid is at a simmer. Cook the rice, uncovered, on medium heat for 10-15 minutes without stirring. You should see little steam holes appear in the rice and most of the liquid should get absorbed.
5. Remove from heat, cover the pot, and let it rest for 10-15 more minutes.
6. Stir in the cilantro gently with a fork.
-add chopped mushrooms, corn, peas, scallions, chopped carrots, or vegetables of your choice in step 3!
-top with a little grated jack, cheddar, or queso fresco cheese if desired.


Is 'Two Scoops' the Future of Filmmaking?
Introducing Two Scoops: The first crowdsourced movie.
Earlier this year, director Robert Rodriguez — the violent mastermind behind From Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City and Machete — partnered with BlackBerry 10 on a new project: Two Scoops.
"You," as in us. The audience. The look of the monster the twin ice-cream scoopers were to fight and the weapon they were fighting it with was contributed via fans online. Fans also took part in the cast, filling the pictures on missing person posters.
'Two Scoops' is a cinematic adventure, created by Robert Rodriguez with the help of his fans. In the film, you will find a scene featuring 'the agent,' a secret weapon, and the monster. Each of these elements was either created or inspired by a fan of Robert Rodriguez. Throughout the film, you will also find missing person posters. Each of these 'missing people' are fans of Robert Rodriguez, who submitted their photos in order to appear in the film.
How far away can we be from being able to vote on movie endings and have them show up on the screen? Or from choosing which character's story we want to follow on a TV show? How long until cinema becomes a choose-your-own adventure affair?
The shape of action flicks to come.
Rodriguez has a Machete sequel called Machete Kills coming later this year, and he won't be crowdsourcing that one, but with interactivity always on the rise, maybe by the time the inevitable trilogy rounds out we'll get there.
What do you think of Two Scoops? Is it the next logical step in making movies? Will audience interaction with cinema work, or should we all just go back to waiting for the stories to show up in front of us?

AQAP, PSO and other factoids

There is a new AQAP audiotape, The Crusader Attack on Yemen, out today from one of the group's religious figures, 'Adil al-'Abab. Al-'Abab, who also goes by the kunya Abu Zubayr, has released previous audio tapes for AQAP.
I haven't had the time to parse the tape yet, although I doubt it deals with Margret Warner's revelations for the PBS Newshour last week that the US was behind the December 17 strikes in Abyan, which killed a number of civilians. Still, that news will fit nicely into AQAP's narrative.
Instead, al-'Abab's appearance reminded me of this brief from News Yemen that I read over the weekend. The brief mentions that Yemen has released 'Imad and 'Abdullah bin Hamil after holding them for more than a month in a vain attempt to force the hand of a third brother that the government believes is a member of AQAP.
Yemen, of course, also attempted this tactic with al-'Abab's three brothers – in a case Muhammad al-Ahmadi has detailed wonderfully in a report I can't locate at the moment – but with little luck there as well. And, also with the eldest brother of the al-Rabi'i family. No luck there either.
Finally, and also on the AQAP front I read this curious piece from Jeff Stein's blog at the Washington Post, SpyTalk, of which I am a fan.
In his post about possible links between the PSO and al-Qaeda – this has long been alleged, although the NSB seems to be handling most of the AQAP portfolio at the moment – he quotes the "reliable Paris-based Intelligence Online newsletter:"
"In 2006," the IO newsletter continues, "Political Security let Nasser al-Wahayshi, the former secretary of Osama bin Laden, and a dozen of his associates escape from prison in Sanaa. The escapees are believed to have established jihadists camps in the province of Chabwa, to the east of Sanaa. Political Security is run by Ghaled al-Qimch, President Ali Abdallah Saleh's trusted right hand man."
Now I know nothing about the Intelligence Online newsletter, but I would be wary of calling something reliable when it can't even get the name of the top official in the PSO correct (I will leave off the French transliteration of a shin as ch). The correct name is Ghalib Mutahir al-Qamish.
Names matter, as the countless lists of terrorism suspects demonstrate. Just because they are foreign and hard to pronounce doesn't mean they aren't important.
Dangerous words on Ta'izz
The future does not look bright.

Bill Spahic, Producer
Bill Spahic is an owner/partner of Real to Reel Productions with a long, varied and successful career in the film industry as a First AD in feature films, TV Movies and Episodics, and for the past eight years as a director, producer and writer in documentary and factual series genres. He also serves as head of development for Real to Reel.
Although he had a science degree in his back pocket, Bill's ambition after university was to make films. He toughed it out in the fledgling indie film industry in Canada for a while, then honed his craft as a First Assistant Director in the drama department at the CBC, and then headed back out into the independent world to be Gordon Pinsent's 1st AD on a Canadian drama feature JOHN AND THE MISSUS. He never looked back. His subsequent career has taken him around the world and allowed him to work closely with such talents as Terry Gilliam, John Woo, Jeff Bridges, Rod Steiger, Vincenzo Natali and of course Gordon Pinsent among many, many others. Working with such uniquely gifted individuals in the feature fiction world has richly impacted his approach to the documentary genre.
Bill directed ANIMISM: PEOPLE WHO LOVE OBJECTS which premiered on Global Television was recently acquired by NetFlix, has sold to ten countries including the UK, Australia, and Norway, and won several festival nominations and awards. He recently co-produced and story edited Real to Reel's latest feature documentaries from director John Zaritsky: A DIFFERENT DRUMMER: Celebrating Eccentrics, and NO LIMITS which premieres this Fall on documentary channel.
Bill co-wrote and directed, YOURS AL, an arts performance drama reuniting him with Gordon Pinsent who portrays Canada's "People's Poet," Al Purdy. The film turned Purdy's evocative poetry into a moving piece of art. Bill followed that by co-directing the feature docudrama IRIS CHANG, THE RAPE OF NANKING. This feature length doc, screened on History Television and released theatrically in Asia, told the tragic and horrifying story of the Japanese assault on China in 1937 through the eyes of young Chinese American author Iris Chang with the original victims of the Rape of Nanking telling their own stories. "Our objective was two-fold. To create a film that will impact the audience as a film. And secondly a film that reminds us that we all have the power to make a difference and speak out."
In addition to these works, Bill has directed several prize winning dramatic shorts including A POISONED WORKPLACE: SEXUAL HARRASSMENT, POISONED WORKPLACE: RACIAL HARRASSMENT and BREAKING THE CYCLE, a short drama aimed at preventing child abuse.

Alif Baa with Multimedia Introduction to Arabic Letters & Sounds (Old Edition, With DVD) ألف باء مدخل إلى حروف العربية وأصواتها
Kristen Brustad, Mahmoud Al-Batal, Abbas Al-Tonsi
Author: Kristen Brustad, Mahmoud Al-Batal, Abbas Al-Tonsi
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
Ages: High School
Arabic and English
Language: Arabic and English
Newly revised and packaged with DVDs containing both audio and video exercises, Alif Baa with DVDs: Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds, is the first part of the Al-Kitaab program. It teaches learners to recognize and produce both letters and sounds accurately through a variety of exercises designed to develop listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition, it introduces a range of Arabic from colloquial to standard in authentic contexts, video footage of an Arabic calligrapher, and a large collection of street signs from Morocco, Egypt, and Lebanon. In conjunction with learning how to read and write the alphabet, Alif Baa introduces about 150 basic vocabulary words, including conventional forms of politeness and social greetings. Standard Arabic vocabulary is more evenly distributed throughout the book, introduced through color pictures on DVD and activated through book and classroom exercises. Social greetings are introduced through new versions of dialogue that take place in an Egyptian context. Finally, it includes capsules on Arab culture as well as an English-Arabic glossary. Alif Baa provides the essential first twenty to twenty-five contact hours of instruction that lay the groundwork for the rest of the Al-Kitaab language program.

Current Edition: 2nd

Al-Kitaab fii Ta'allum al-'Arabiyya - A Textbook for Beginning Arabic: Part one (Second Edition, with DVD) (Second Edition, with one DVDs) الكتاب في تعلم العربية
Develops skills in standard Arabic while providing additional material in both colloquial and classical Arabic.
Al-Kitaab: Part One develops skills in standard Arabic while providing additional material in both colloquial and classical Arabic. With new video material and revised and updated text and exercises, the bound-in and revised DVDs supersede both the former CD audio set and video DVD previously available only as separate items—making this singular volume a comprehensive whole for those immersed in the early and intermediate stages of learning Arabic.
Providing approximately 150 contact hours of college-level instruction, parts of this revised edition are updated with contemporary selections for reading comprehension. The organization of the chapters has been adapted to reflect the most current pedagogical developments. Audio tracks for vocabulary sections now allow students to hear a new word followed by a sentence using it in context with previously acquired vocabulary and grammatical structures, enabling students to build new vocabulary skills while reviewing old material. The basic texts have been re-filmed with a new cast of actors. The DVDs also contain substantially more material that exposes the learner to Egyptian Arabic: students have the options of seeing and hearing the video of each lesson in both Modern standard Arabic and Egyptian colloquial Arabic. In addition, a short dialogue in Egyptian colloquial Arabic appears at the end of each lesson. New video materials also feature interviews with Egyptians (subtitled in English) about various aspects of Arab culture, such as gender issues, fasting in the Muslim and Christian traditions, social clubs and their significance, and more.
FEATURES OF PART ONE, Second Edition:
• Develops all language-related skills including reading, listening, speaking, writing, and cultural knowledge
• Immediately incorporates extensive use of authentic materials for reading, listening, and grammatical practice, thus relating abstract grammatical concepts to practical skills
• Presents narrative-based content through audio and video media rather than written text to develop meaning-focused language processing skills, utilizing two main characters and their extended families
• Develops reading skills through the use of composed texts derived from the main narrative and authentic texts from newspapers and journals
• Introduces grammar using spiraling and inference, challenging students to discover the grammar of the language by means of analogy, problem solving, and educated guessing
• Reinforces grammar and vocabulary through extensive classroom and homework exercises that provide constant review and expand to challenge students as their skills develop
• Introduces students to Egyptian colloquial through scenes based on the main narrative to promote the use of shared vocabulary and structure of the two registers to increase listening comprehension skillsContains Arabic-English and English-Arabic glossaries and reference charts as well as a new grammar index

This two-volume book series is an attempt to guide those who want to understand the language of the Quran and read it with comprehension.
Masood Ahmed Ranginwala
This two-volume book series is an attempt to guide those who want to understand the language of the Quran and read it with comprehension. This first volume guides the student in a stepwise progression to learn the fundamentals of Quranic grammar. The methodology of this book is different from others in that conversational Arabic and non-Quranic vocabulary are not emphasized. Instead, there is a keen focus on mastering key grammar principles alongside high-frequency Quranic vocabulary. Numerous examples are used from the Quran. The first volume of this textbook is currently in use by the Islamic Online University for its diploma course series Introduction to Quranic Arabic. This series will help students better understand and experience the Lofty and Majestic Words of Allah Almighty.

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Economics (2009)
Edited by Harold Kincaid and Don Ross
Editions:Hardcover: £ 127.50
Paperback: £ 32.99
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Economics is a cutting-edge reference work to philosophical issues in the practice of economics. It is motivated by the view that there is more to economics than general equilibrium theory, and that the philosophy of economics should reflect the diversity of activities and topics that currently occupy economists. Contributions in the Handbook are thus closely tied to ongoing theoretical and empirical concerns in economics.
Contributors include both philosophers of science and economists. Chapters fall into three general categories: received views in philosophy of economics, ongoing controversies in microeconomics, and issues in modeling, macroeconomics, and development. Specific topics include methodology, game theory, experimental economics, behavioral economics, neuroeconomics, computational economics, data mining, interpersonal comparisons of utility, measurement of welfare and well being, growth theory and development, and microfoundations of macroeconomics.
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Economics is a groundbreaking reference like no other in its field. It is a central resource for those wishing to learn about the philosophy of economics, and for those who actively engage in the discipline, from advanced undergraduates to professional philosophers, economists, and historians.

The trip of the chocolate to Europe starts back in 1544, and since then the Mexican drink creates a passion that endures after nearly half a millennium.
Europe came late to the joys of chocolate. Native to Mexico, Central and South America, cacao cultivation dates to at least 1250 B.C., according to archaeologists.
Mayans grew cacao trees in their backyards and used the seeds to brew ceremonial drinks. In the fifth century, Aztecs consumed xocoatl (bitter water) flavored with vanilla and chili pepper. The highly valued bean served as currency in Aztec society. One turkey, for example, cost 100 cacao beans.
As far back as 1504, Christopher Columbus may have brought cacao beans to Spain from his fourth and final voyage to the Americas.
Cortes brought cacao beans and chocolate-brewing apparatus back to Spain when he returned in 1528. And Dominican friars who introduced native peoples to Spanish royalty in 1544 also gave chocolate to their majesties.
Yet for all this, the great onrush of the continental cocoa craze is often traced to July 7, 1550, and July 7 is even gaining currency as Chocolate Day. So who are we to argue? It's not brain surgery (though chocolate does have neural effects).
Whatever its original date of introduction in Spain, chocolate did not stay there. Spanish friars spread the gospel of Theobroma cacao throughout Europe as they traveled from monastery to monastery.
Hot chocolate became a hit with French royalty after cocoa enthusiast Marie Therese married Louis XIV in 1660. At the Palace of Versailles, courtiers regarded the drink as an aphrodisiac.
London's first chocolate house opened in 1657. English cafe society believed the drink to be a cure-all medicine capable of treating tuberculosis. Initially flavored with coffee, wine and pepper, hot chocolate finally achieved liftoff in the early 1700s when English and Dutch impresarios hit on the idea of adding milk and sugar.
It was only a matter of time before mass-production technologies would transform bean-based treats from luxury to everyman staple. A century later, chocolate assumed solid form, courtesy of Fry and Sons.
The British confectioners figured out how to add sugar and cocoa butter to create a malleable paste that could then be packaged as "eating chocolate." The same standardized processes for extracting cocoa butter to manufacture hard, durable candy are still used today, essentially unchanged since the Industrial Revolution.
Unwittingly, chocolate lovers through the ages embraced a source of natural caffeine that's packed with flavonoid antioxidants (also found in tea, red wine and tomatoes) known for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
For certain, no one can resist the temptation of chocolate! That is why, at Melitropon, we included this eternal temptation in our recipes! Taste, not just watch!
Chocolate lovers have the chance to taste our harmonious flavor combinations: chocolate baklava, chocolate cake, chocolate pie, brownies, chocolate cake or praline cake, chocolate nests or chocolate chanoumaki, chocolate kofto or chocolate kantaifi are just some of our choices that will pleasure even the most demanding customer!

Newly minted San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman represented himself in his negotiations with the team, and per a new report from Sports Illustrated's Peter King, the former Seahawk did about as well as could be expected. Good news for him and for San Francisco; bad news for agents.
The result: Sherman and the 49ers negotiated a heavily incentivized deal, but one which gives the almost-30-year-old Sherman a chance to match the $11 million he made in Seattle. If he plays 90 percent of San Francisco's snaps and gets selected to the Pro Bowl—no sure thing, obviously, but achievable—the big numbers are waiting.
This was a matter of hours; the 49ers had been prepared to trade for Denver's Aqib Talib, but that fell through. And while Sherman was listening to offers from other teams, he knew it was likely now or never to get the deal he wanted from San Francisco. And so the guy who kept the 49ers out of the Super Bowl four years ago now hopes to help them return … along with one other incentive.
The full tick-tock rundown is worth a read. And Sherman's future in San Francisco will be one to watch.

Singapore: gateway to Southeast Asia
from Doha
Fly to Singapore with Qatar Airways and you'll arrive in a unique destination that has its own personality. This city state is easily accessible, thanks to its continuing importance as a trading point between east and west. Colonial influences can still be seen in its architecture and customs, but today Singapore is a true melting pot of cultures.
Situated on its own island close to the Malay Peninsula, the city state of Singapore is often considered one of the region's most accessible destinations. It's a densely packed nation of more than five million people, made up of Chinese, Malay, Eurasian, and Indian residents. Singapore also has a healthy dose of expatriates from around the world.
Although it is distinctly Asian, Singapore's origins as a British colony are still plain to see. English is an official language alongside Malay, Chinese and Tamil, but this extraordinary locale is much more than a colonial outpost.
Book a flight to Singapore with Qatar Airways and discover a rich, varied and exotic destination that's full of surprises.
