Take the test during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Mayor Cllr. Audrey Wales MBE
The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough, Councillor Audrey Wales MBE is urging everyone aged over 60 years to get tested for signs of the second biggest cancer killer in Northern Ireland during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
"If undetected, it can be a killer but with early intervention, it is treatable and curable," the mayor said.
"Taking part in bowel cancer screening is the best way to get diagnosed early which is why the UK's leading bowel cancer research charity, Bowel Cancer UK, is using Bowel Cancer Awareness Month during April to focus on screening.
"Screening can detect bowel cancer early before any symptoms appear, when it is easier to treat. It can also prevent bowel cancer from developing in the first place by picking up non-cancerous growths (polyps) which could become cancerous in the future."
Anyone registered with a GP and aged 60-74 will automatically receive a free bowel cancer screening test in the post every two years.
They then carry out the simple test at home in private using a pack that comes with clear step-by-step instructions.
Bowel cancer screening saves lives but at the moment in some areas of the UK only a third of those who receive a test complete it.
Overall uptake of the test in Northern Ireland is quite good, at 59.8% but thousands of people are missing out on what is the best way to detect bowel cancer early when it is easier to treat and there is the greatest chance of survival.
Fundraiser will aid blind runner Tony

At Green Square we are dedicated on providing you with invaluable information on which renewable energy technology is best suited to you and your home.
WHAT ARE FEED-IN TARIFFS (FIT's)?
Feed-In Tariffs is a scheme which pays property owners for generating their own 'green electricity'. It is similar to the Renewable Heat Incentive, but this pays property owners for generating their own 'green heat'.
The Renewable Heat Incentive offers homeowners who use renewable energy technologies fixed payments for every kWh of heat generated by your household.
"We found that unlike any other companies we had spoken to, Green Square did the homework for us, based on their years of experience"


Want to know what's happening to Australia's property markets and our economy?
The following infographics from the PRDnationwide Q2 2017 Key Economic Indicators report will provide you with a quick snapshot of the current state of affairs from an economic and property perspective.
Consumer sentiment has remained under the positive line (100 index points) in May 2017, currently at 99 index points, suggesting there is cautiousness in the market.
This is despite the RBA keeping the cash rate stable, which is reflected in the standard variable loan remaining constant at 5.3%.
The Australian weekly median income was recorded at $1,681 in December 2016, an increase of 2.3% over the past 15 months.
Weekly median income has increased in all states except for Western Australia, which has remained stable at $1,983.
Over the past 15 months the number of loans to first home buyers in Australia has increased to 23,273; from 23,157.
That said it is no surprise the number of loans to first home buyers has decreased in NSW, due to current market conditions in Sydney.

A Triad is three women or three men being discipled together by Jesus for a year or so with the goal of multiplying into three new triads.
At Hope we believe that Jesus' plan to redeem the world depends upon intentional multiplying discipleship. While He invested in 12 disciples, He gave concentrated time to three—a Triad. He then sent them out to multiply—making new disciples of Jesus and equipping them to multiply with others. This ripple effect has reached the ends of the earth and will continue as disciples of Jesus, and churches, embrace this mission.
Have you ever been discipled? Would you know where to start, if given a chance to disciple someone else? Hope's Triad journey can help.
and prepare you to multiply.
Being same gender, Triads create a safe context for deep and authentic sharing. Keeping it to three provides enough time for each to be heard. Additionally, a Triad builds in a sense of mutuality from the get go. Since each disciple is an equal participant, multiplying after a season is more conceivable. We believe that if you're a disciple of Jesus you're made for this; you're ready to disciple together with a few others in order to multiply.
For more information about the Triad journey, or launching a Triad, please contact Pastor Bill Craig bcraig@hopemason.org, or Kari Glemaker kglemaker@hopemason.org.

The South African National Editors' Forum (Sanef) is taking the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) and their leader Julius Malema to the Equality Court. The party has promised to oppose Sanef's court bid.
This move follows the continued harassment of journalists over social media and in public. Sanef chair Mahlatse Mahlase told eNCA that heading to the courts was a last resort.
She said Sanef has asked to meet with Malema several times, adding that Sanef had written to the party and approached EFF over Twitter.
Sanef, which represents senior journalists and editors in South Africa, wants an end to the harassment and abuse of journalists and an apology from Malema and the EFF.
News Just In: Sanef has approached the Equality Court in Gauteng following a barrage of abusive and dangerous threats against journalists in South Africa.
According to the statement, the conduct of the party and its leader "constitutes hate speech" and "unjustified violation of Section 16 of the Constitution which protects freedom of expression, and of the press and other media.
In a founding affidavit, Sanef has asked the court to interdict the respondents (the EFF and Malema) from intimidating, harassing, threatening and assaulting the complainants and other journalists.
Sanef has also asked that the respondents do not "expressly or tacitly" endorse the publication of personal information, and it should denounce the harassment and abuse of the complainants.
The complainants in the matter are Sanef, Tiso Blackstar's Ranjeni Munusamy, The Daily Maverick's Pauli van Wyk, News 24's Adriaan Basson, Max du Preez and Eyewitness News's Barry Bateman.
The court application follows a November 20 press briefing outside the commission of inquiry into state capture — chaired by Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo — in Parktown, Johannesburg where Malema addressed his supporters.
Malema called for action against enemies of his party and "the revolution". The enemies, according to Malema, were President Cyril Ramaphosa, Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, "white monopoly capital" and several members of the media who formed part of his so-called "Ramaphosa Defence Force".
"The first sign that democracy is going to fail is when journalists are unable to do their work. We must act when threats to our Constitution and democracy arise," she added.
International body Reporters Without Borders has condemned Malema's use of threats and insults against journalists, stating "inciting hatred against journalists is unworthy of a political leader".
Munusamy and Du Preez have experienced physical harassment in public; while all the responding journalists have reported harassment over Twitter.

CSKA Moscow - Espanyol Barcelona 03.10.2019 Free soccer tips
CSKA Moscow welcomes Espanyol Barcelona in the CSKA Arena
In UEFA Europa League Group H, Espanyol Barcelona head to Moscow to play against CSKA Moscow on Thursday. The Muscovites have after the embarrassment in the first group match open, Espanyol could record in game 1 even a draw. We analyzed the two teams to give forecasts and tips for interesting betting variants. The game starts on Thursday, 03. October 2019
Pass rate: 78%
Possession: 43%
Goal balance: 1: 5
The CSKA Moscow wants to get points after the disgrace in game 1 at home.
For CSKA Moscow, the start to the UEFA Europa League group stage was anything but pleasant. In the first group game of Group H, CSKA Moscow has set off for Bulgaria to compete against Ludogorets Razgrad. At first everything seemed to be okay. To run. CSKA took the lead 1-0 after just 11 minutes. Nothing changed until the half time. After the break, both teams seemed like a substitute. Only 2 minutes after kickoff in the second half of the game, there was a 1-1 draw. But that was just the beginning of the end for CSKA. 5 minutes later they were already 1: 3 in arrears. The team of coach Viktor Goncharenko, brought no leg on the floor.
The team seemed like a substitute, but in a negative sense. At the end of a catastrophic football evening, the Muscovites stared at a 1: 5 away goal. Nobody expected that. Having won all three of the last three games in the Russian Premier League, the Blamage in Bulgaria was a bitter blow for CSKA Moscow. Since then, you have been able to win both competitive matches in the Premier League. Against Espanyol one is acted as easy favorite. Whether Moscow can fulfill this role is revealed on Thursday. The numbers speak against it, if one looks at the statistics of the two opening matches, Moscow is in all respects behind the guests from Barcelona. Both the pass rate (78%), as well as the possession of the ball (43%), Espanyol has the edge. Of the gate balance (1: 5) not to speak. We suspect a match at eye level, which could eventually end with a defeat for Moscow.
Can Espanyol beat the CSKA Moscow as an outsider?
At Espanyol Barcelona, the situation after the opening match of the Europa League group stage is not quite as clear as at CSKA Moscow. The Catalans had in Game 1, the Hungarian team of Ferencváros Budapest as a guest. In the RCDE stadium in Barcelona, the team of head coach David Gallego started in the group stage of the Europa League. After prevailing in qualifying with 5 wins and one draw, they made the jump to Group H. It has not gone well in the Primera Division so far. The new coach, who took the helm for 5 games as interim coach in 2018, was still training the reserve team until the summer break.
His first game as a coach against Sevilla FC was lost immediately with 0: 2. In his interim season, he was able to get 2.60 points per game, this year it is only 1.47 points. The current season is not yet a good star. 4 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 win are enough for just 5 points. This means currently place 18. Thus, the team would be among the relegation places. They lost to Real Vallodolid 0-2 on Sunday. So far you have lost all 4 home games in LaLiga, away you are unbeaten. The first game in the Europa League was more than unfortunate for Espanyol. After just 11 minutes, you were trailing 0-1 with an own goal. In minute 60, you could at least still achieve the balance.
The curse of home games continued in the Europa League. The coach is looking for answers, he should find them soon, he wants to keep the post even longer. A season that, apart from qualifying for the Europa League, was anything but satisfactory. Victory in Moscow would be balm to the troubled souls of the team. The statistics of the last group game leaves hope. Finally, with a pass rate of 89%, they were able to maintain a possession of 64% and record 21 shots. Success was only once. We believe Barcelona to win, even if the bookmakers favor the home side.
Bet Tip and Forecast
We would refrain from a classic winning bet in this game and instead bet on a double chance X / 2. The odds are extremely lucrative with around 1.70, the draw secured. We suspect a match at eye level, with few goals. That's why we would bet on under 2.5 goals. Our risk tip: Tip 2.
The second round of the Europa League group stage CSKA Moscow - Espanyol will take place on Thursday, 3 October at 19:55 (local time Moscow) in the stadium of the VEB Arena.
After a tough defeat in Bulgaria against Ludogorets 1: 5, the Moscow CSKA will try to rehabilitate in a home game against Espanyol in the second round of the group stage of the Europa League. Between these two matches, "Army Men" managed to play three games in the domestic arena, defeating Krasnodar 3-2 in the championship, winning 3-1 in the Country Cup against Alanya and visiting the Urals in the Urals Premier League to score high 3-0. Now Viktor Goncharenko's districts lead the national championship and score 25 points in 11 games. The winning streak of the team has three meetings and scored three goals in each CSKA. And of the last seven games in all tournaments, he won six. CSKA played five internationals this season, winning four of them and not having suffered a single defeat so far. In three of the five sessions he left his own goal intact.
Espanyol in the first round 1-1 at home with Ferencvaros draw. After that, he played three games in the Spanish championship, losing 1: 3 against Sociedad in his field, scored with Celta - 1: 1 and lost at home against Valladolid 0: 2 in the last eight official games won the Catalans only one victory and suffered three defeats. Previously, Espanyol won five of their first six games of the season. The club from Barcelona have not lost this season, drawn three times and won. However, according to analysts on the Bookmakers.ru website, he will remain without points in the upcoming game. In this case, it is advantageous to put handicap (-0.25) on the victory of CSKA.

The victory of CSKA Moscow - 2,13, the draw - 3,56, the victory of Hispaniola - 3,57.

CSKA Moscow - Espanyol
CSKA Moscow hopes to get its European aspirations back on track at its own VEB Arena on Thursday evening at the expense of Espanyol. The Russians lost their first group match in the Europa League, and now have to take points anyway. The Spaniards also desperately need the points, although they currently have more important (relegation) issues on their mind.
CSKA Moscow:
CSKA Moscow is in top form in its own country, and with 25 points from eleven rounds it can call itself the leader of the Russian Premier League. The Muscovites, however, had a dramatic start to the Europa League, because two weeks ago they were shown a visit to Bulgarian Ludogorets with a 5-1 defeat all over the field. The red-blue ones are playing with fire, because if it goes wrong again on Thursday against Espanyol, the European adventure is almost certainly over before it has started.
The 5-1 defeat against Ludogorets was an incident, because outside of that shameful defeat, CSKA Moscow is busy with a great season. The Russians are busy with a nice series of five competition victories in a row, and they only had to give themselves up once in their own VEB Arena this calendar year. Under trainer Viktor Goncharenko, the Russians play with a lot of pressure and pressure, with the rough diamonds Nikola Vlasic and Fedor Chalov as absolute flavors. The disadvantage of this way of playing is that the pipe often runs empty after roughly 60-70 minutes of football, which makes De Soldaten particularly vulnerable in the final phase. Most of the time, however, CSKA Moscow already has a large lead by then, just like last weekend in the away game against Ural (0-3 win).
Espanyol:
Espanyol is back in the Europa League after an absence of thirteen years, but the Spaniards cannot really enjoy their European adventure. The club from Barcelona has had a bad start to the competition and is in the relegation zone of La Liga with just five points from seven rounds. Last weekend De Parakeets lost at home with 0-2 against Real Valladolid. Trainer David Gallego is under heavy fire, and the players were treated to a whistling flute concert by their own fans.
Of course it is nice for Espanyol that it can now briefly forget its problems in its own country, but it is obvious that Gallego looks ahead with a glance at the relegation cracker of upcoming weekend visiting PhD candidate Real Mallorca. There is no official date (yet) for an ultimatum, but if Espanyol also loses that match, I think it is very likely that Gallego will have to leave the field. The Spaniards have boarded the plane with largely the well-known names, but I expect that they will take up a glorified B-team in Moscow. Also two weeks ago, in the 1-1 draw against the Hungarian Ferencvaros, the blue and white kept several strongholds aside.
Two losers in the Europa League round will try to close the zeros in the "victory" column. The Moscow club had a terrible opening match against Ludogorets (1: 5), and the Spaniards were stopped by the militant Ferencvaros (1-1).
No one expected such a fiasco in Bulgaria from the Metropolitan team. Yes, Ludogorets is a strong team, but this is not a rival at the highest level. CSKA have a lot of gambling problems this season, but they do not prevent CSKA from battling it out in the domestic arena. As part of the Europa League everyone is waiting for the defenders of Viktor Goncharenko to enter the playoff phase, because the Russian team was clearly lucky with a draw.
Goncharenko has the most promising team of Russian football. In addition to the RPL dinosaurs such as Akinfeev and Fernandez play the main talents of the league - Chalov, Vlašić, Sigurdsson, Magnusson, Akhmetov and others. These footballers are not in a position to give the Ludogorez a score of 1: 5.
Spanish clubs are always successful in the LE, and Espanyol faces serious tournament challenges. In addition, the Catalans do not participate regularly in European competitions, and it may be interesting for them to show the best possible results. In the starting round we saw Espanyol playing a good football in a duel with a strong opponent.
Protection spells from David Gallego fail completely in the home arena, where Espanyol goes into the relegation zone. Such results do not show the best current status of the team. In addition, the Catalans had to sell several guides in the summer - Hermozo, Pao Lopez, Martin. Replacing these players is difficult, and newcomers who join the team need time to adapt. Despite the problems, Espanyol is able to show quality football at the level of the Europa League.
We expect from this game a brilliant football, which is played primarily by the Russian club. It is time for CSKA to demonstrate its best qualities at the European Cup level. And the native estates will not allow the wards Goncharenko to relax on the football field. The game promises to be viscous and ends with a work victory for the owners of the arena. In the bet we recommend the use of a zero handicap by bookmakers.
CSKA started the month of September with a strong victory over the "Arsenal" in Tula - 2: 1. Then they defeated Tambov 2-0 and met twice in the last minutes.
In the Europa League CSKA started with a devastating defeat against Ludogorets in Bulgaria - 1: 5. The army team had opened before the break an account and conceded five goals in the second half.
When CSKA returned home, he beat Krasnodar on his field (3: 2). He scored three goals before the break, but almost lost the win in the second half.
In the 1:16 finals of the Cup of Russia, the army team defeated Alania on the road (3-1) and in the last game defeated the RPL the Urals away (3-0).
After 11 rounds of the RPL, army men lead the table with 25 points, 2 points ahead of the chasing group. The goal difference is 18-8, Nikola Vlašić and Fedor Chalov each scored 4 goals.
The Spanish club made it through qualification in the group stage of the Europa League and defeated the Icelander "Stjarnan" (4: 0, 3: 1), the Swiss "Lucerne" (3: 0, 3: 0) and the Ukrainian "Dawn" (3: 1) 2: 2).
The Catalans started the campaign in September with a home rout of Granada (0: 3), then defeated the Eibar (2: 1) on the road and missed the first. but made up and won.
In the opening game of the group stage, LE "Espanyol" drew 1-1 at home with Hungarian "Ferencvaros" after missing a quick goal and catching up after the break.
The last three games The examples ran without victories. Espanyol lost at home to Real Sociedad (1: 3), lost away to Celta (1: 1) and lost at home to Valladolid (0: 2).
After 7 rounds of the Spanish championship "Espanyol" is in the relegation zone with 5 points 18th. The goal difference is 4-12.
The injured striker Facundo Ferreira and midfielder Ander Iturraspe will not play in the upcoming game.
Forecast and prices
For the CSKA victory in this game bookmakers give a coefficient of 2.05, a draw of 3.00 and a success rate of Espanyol of 3.60.
Despite the fiasco in Bulgaria, it is unlikely that CSKA will make a mistake on his field, especially since Espanyol is in better shape and has not won 4 matches.
It is unlikely that the meeting will be very productive. "Espanyol" scored in recent games only a few goals. TM 2.5 options are interesting for 1.85 and "Both score - No" for 1.95
After the fights in the Champions League, we wait for the games of the Europa League. We offer our prediction for the game CSKA - Espanyol, which will take place on 3 October.
Inspired army men
After the 11th round of the RPL, Moscow CSKA became the only leader to defeat the Urals, while Zenit lost to Lokomotiv at the time. Such a leadership should inspire the army, the team must show in European competitions. Everyone will surely remember the Moscow fiasco at Ludogorets - 5: 1. The opponents also admitted that the Bulgarians flew everything in the second half. It seems psychologically, this defeat has not broken the team, indicating a strong character. Although the upcoming rival represents the elite championship, Espanyol can and should be defeated in this condition.
Threadbare Espanyol
To enter the Europa League group, Espanyol had to survive several qualifying rounds, with which the team finished successfully. The Catalans were so enthusiastic about Eurocups that they completely forgot Example, where the team only scored 5 points in 7 games, which is why they are now in the relegation zone. In the final round Hispaniol defeated the humble Valladolid at home with 0: 2, which was an additional confirmation of the problems of the club. The first match of the Europa League group stage, the Spaniards draw against Ferencvaros at home - 1: 1. The club simply can not afford to win two tournaments, and it is better to choose Espanyolu as an example, since the team then may not come out of the basement of the tournament table. Even if the Catalans leave their quartet, they will not be able to get far.
The opponents have never played with each other and their first meeting is of great tournament importance. CSKA favorites are absolutely justified, the team plays at home and is in good shape. Espanyol seems to have a small crisis, the Catalans will be difficult to grasp in the upcoming game. We calculate the CSKA win with handicap 0.
Free CSKA Espanyol Match Prediction on 3rd October: CSKA win with handicap 0
CSKA failed in the first round of the group, and this is even a soft word for the game with the Bulgarians - a fiasco of 1: 5. And although this is a guest appearance, the Bulgarian wing is not so strong that he in this way loses against him. And finally, the Russians rightfully took their first five places there, as the enemy fired at the goal two dozen times from the gate of another, with an accuracy of fifty percent to the goal. The only thing that could look promising here is a game in the home arena where CSKA still looks much better and wins victory for victory. After this pogrom in Bulgaria CSKA won three games in a row, each with three goals scored.
Espanyol as a whole has a worse picture, the last four games Espanyol has never won, and the first round of the group was in this series with Ferencvaros at home - 1-1. Despite this situation, Hispaniol is considered one of the main favorites of the league. The club has a game, and that's important. The Espanyol-Hungary had to defeat them with confidence and the Spaniards surpassed their opponent in the game.
The second round of the Europa League brings us an interesting match between CSKA and Espanyol, which is analyzed by a member of the Betobzor Sports Mendeleev website.
After eleven rounds of the RPL, CSKA comes first, despite a severe epidemic of injuries. On the eve of the army men reinforced this status by a triumph 3-0 over the Urals. In the European competition, however, they were completely out of favor and lost in the opening round of the Europa League 1: 5 against the humble Ludogorets.
At the same time Espanyol angered his fans with a 1-1 draw against Ferencvaros, which significantly worsened his chances for the next stage of the tournament. In general, parrots are in a deep recession as they are firmly in the relegation zone in the league after seven matchdays.
I believe that the match between the two opponents of the crisis will have a clear advantage for CSKA. First, the Russians are in a better mood, and secondly, helping their fans actively will help them.
CSKA win with handicap (0) for 1.54
CSKA in the first round was defeated by the Ludogorets, but will the CSKA be able to rehabilitate in the game against Espanyol?
For CSKA, the current season is developing quite successfully - the CSKA are currently leaders in the Premier League and show a very solid football. The 3-0 win against Ural in the last round was the fifth consecutive championship for Viktor Goncharenko's side, which certainly gives the fans reason to be confident.
Free soccer picks Free soccer picks
Espanyol could not qualify for the season - after a rather difficult qualifying for the Europa League group, the "parrots" failed in the championship. While the club is in the relegation zone, in 18th place, he can correct the situation by a victory. In the opening match of the Europa League group stage, "Espanyol" failed to beat Ferencvaros after the Hungarians drew 1-1 in their field.
CSKA puts the main bet on the championship, where it is one hundred percent designed, and pushes the Europa League aside. A 1-5 loss to Ludogorets probably hit the club's ambitions, but the army team can certainly help to fight with the European champion for the Premier League championship. "Espanyol" knows how to play in the attack and it is quite possible to find the weak points of the hosts. It is the Spaniards who make sense to give preference.
I suggest setting the Asian handicap (0) for a coefficient of 2.75 on Espanyol
For CSKA season in the Premier League is quite successful - the team of Viktor Goncharenko is after 11 rounds leaders. Nevertheless, the "army men" have no serious superiority over their rivals - suddenly the four neighbors from below are at a distance of two points and can always take the pedestal.
In the last round, CSKA defeated Ural easily - a 3-0 win for the fifth time in a row for the "Army Team" in the Premier League. In the Europa League CSKA denied a round in which it had already managed to fall out of favor - outbound, he lost 1-5 against Ludogortsy and moved immediately to the last place in the group.
Espanyol failed at the start of the season in Spain - while David Gallego's team are in the relegation zone. For seven rounds, the "parrots" could collect only five points, which they could not exceed the 18th place so far. Nevertheless, the situation for the club is quite solvable - a victory can bring them immediately to several positions up.
In the last round, "Hispaniol" lost 2-0 against "Valladolid" despite all predictions at home. So his series lasted without victories up to four games, two of which ended in defeat. In the first round of the Europa League, the "parrots" Ferencvaros could not beat at home - the meeting ended in a 1-1 draw, in which the Spaniards had to win again.
The AZ club from Alkmaar belongs to the top group of the Dutch Eredivisie and will surely be able to fight with recognized leaders of the local football for the title this season. And in the first round of the Europa League Arne Slot could not decide after the departure of Partizan in the first half of the guest appearance in his favor (2: 2).
Manchester Young
Manchester United clearly has a fever. Wards of Ole Gunnar Solskher convince both in the national championship, where they are so far in the middle of the table, as well as in the Europa League not. Here they have barely overcome the resistance of the modest Astana from Kazakhstan in the first round and scored the only winner at the end of the match. Obvious problems in the attack line of the team.
AZ have never lost in seven European league games this season
AZ won the last four games of the Dutch championship
Manchester United have never won away this season
Perhaps it only allows us the fact that AZ does not play in his own stadium, but in neighboring Den Haag, not to play the net victory of the hosts in this game despite the chances of bookmakers. Nevertheless, we recommend you to bid based on the benefits of AZ.
We believe that the owners will not lose. Our forecast is a double chance of AZ + total goals less (4,5). For such a result, a 1X bet gives a coefficient of 1.77

Home > Authors > Books by Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov (1920 – 1992)
Isaac Asimov is the author of books such as Foundation.
Isaac Asimov (c. January 2, 1920- April 6, 1992, was a Russian-born American Jewish author and biochemist, a highly successful and exceptionally prolific writer best known for his works of science fiction and for his popular science books. Asimov's most famous work is the Robot series. He also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as a great amount of non-fiction. Asimov wrote or edited more than 500 volumes and an estimated 90,000 letters or postcards, and he has works in every major category of the Dewey Decimal System except Philosophy. Asimov was by consensus a master of the science-fiction genre and, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke, was considered to be one of the "Big Three" science-fiction writers during his lifetime.
Most of Asimov's popularized science books explain scientific concepts in a historical way, going back as far as possible to a time when the science in question was at its simplest stage. He often gives nationalities, birth dates and death dates for the scientists he mentions, as well as etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Examples of this style include his Asimov's Chronology Of Science and Discovery.
Asimov was a long-time member of Mensa, albeit reluctantly; he described them as "intellectually combative". He took more joy in being president of the American Humanist Association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction and two different Isaac Asimov Awards are all named in his honor.
Asimov was born around January 2, 1920 (his date of birth for official purposes-the precise date is not certain) in Petrovichi shtetl of Smolensk Oblast, RSFSR (now Russia) to Anna Rachel Berman Asimov and Judah Asimov, a Jewish family of millers. They emigrated to the United States when he was three years old; since the parents always spoke Yiddish and English with their son, he never learned Russian. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, he taught himself to read at the age of five, and remained fluent in Yiddish as well as English. His parents owned a small general store and everyone in the family was expected to work in it. He saw science fiction magazines in the store and began reading them. Around the age of eleven, he began to write his own stories and few years later he was selling them to pulp magazines
He graduated from Columbia University in 1939 and earned a Ph.D. in chemistry there in 1948. In between, he spent three years during World War II working at the Philadelphia Navy Yard's Naval Air Experimental Station. After the war ended, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, serving for just under nine months before receiving an honorable discharge. In the course of his brief military career, he rose to Corporal on the basis of his typing skills and narrowly avoided participating in the 1946 atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll.
After completing his doctorate, he joined the faculty of Boston University, with which he remained associated thereafter. From 1958 this was in a non-teaching capacity, as he became a full-time writer (his writing income already exceeded his academic salary). Being tenured meant that he retained the title of associate professor, and in 1979 the university honored his writing by promoting him to full professor. His personal papers from 1965 onward are archived at their Mugar Memorial Library, where they fill 464 boxes on 71 metres of shelf space.
In 1985, he became President of the American Humanist Association and remained in that position until his death in 1992; his successor was his friend and fellow writer Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. He was a close friend of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.
He married Gertrude Blugerman (1917-1990) on July 26, 1942, and they had two children, David (b. 1951) and Robyn Joan (b. 1955). After an extended separation, they were divorced in 1973, and Asimov married Janet O. Jeppson later that year. Gertrude, born in Canada, died in Boston in 1990.
Asimov was a claustrophile; that is, he enjoyed small, enclosed spaces. In his first volume of autobiography, he recalls a childhood desire to own a magazine stand in a New York City Subway station, within which he imagined he could enclose himself and listen to the rumble of passing trains.
Asimov was afraid of flying, only doing so twice in his entire life (once in the course of his work at the Naval Air Experimental Station and once returning home from the army base in Oahu in 1946). He seldom traveled great distances, partly because his aversion to aircraft made the logistics of long-distance travel complicated; this phobia influenced several of his fiction works, such as the Wendell Urth mystery stories and the Robot novels featuring Elijah Baley. In his later years, he found he enjoyed traveling on cruise ships, and on several occasions he became part of the cruises' "entertainment," giving science-themed talks on ships like the RMS Queen Elizabeth 2.
His physical dexterity was very poor. He never learned how to swim or ride a bicycle, although he did learn to drive a car and found he enjoyed it. He did not learn to operate a car until after he moved to Boston, Massachusetts; in his jokebook Asimov Laughs Again, he describes Boston driving as "anarchy on wheels".
Asimov's wide interests included his participation in his later years in organizations devoted to the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan and the Nero Wolfe mysteries of Rex Stout. He was a prominent member of the Baker Street Irregulars, the leading Sherlock Holmes society.
Asimov died on April 6, 1992. He was survived by his second wife, Janet, and his children from his first marriage. Ten years after his death, Janet Asimov's edition of Asimov's autobiography, It's Been a Good Life, revealed that his death was caused by AIDS; he had contracted HIV from an infected blood transfusion during heart bypass surgery in 1983. The specific cause of death was heart and renal failure as complications of AIDS. Janet Asimov writes in the epilogue of It's Been a Good Life that Asimov had wanted to "go public", but his doctors convinced him to remain silent, warning that anti-AIDS prejudice would extend to his family members. Asimov's family considered disclosing his AIDS infection after he died, but the controversy which erupted when Arthur Ashe announced that he had contracted AIDS convinced them otherwise. Ten years later, after Asimov's doctors had died, Janet and Robyn agreed that the AIDS story could be made public.
Intellectual positions
Isaac Asimov was a Humanist and a rationalist. He did not oppose genuine religious conviction in others but vocally opposed superstitious or unfounded beliefs. During his childhood, his family did not for the most part observe any religion, and so Asimov grew up without strong religious influences, coming to believe that the Bible represented Hebrew mythology in the same way that the Iliad recorded Greek mythology. (For a brief while his father, Judah Asimov, worked in the local synagogue to enjoy the familiar surroundings and "shine as a learned scholar" versed in the sacred writings. This experience had little effect upon his son Isaac beyond teaching him the Hebrew alphabet.) For many years, Asimov called himself an atheist, though he felt the term was somewhat inadequate, describing more about what he did not believe than about what he did. Later, he found the term "humanist" a useful substitute.
In his last autobiographical book, Asimov wrote, "If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul." The same memoir states his belief that Hell is "the drooling dream of a sadist" crudely affixed to an all-merciful God; if even human governments were willing to curtail cruel and unusual punishments, wondered Asimov, why would punishment in the afterlife not be restricted to a limited term? Asimov rejected the idea that a human belief or action could merit infinite punishment. If an afterlife of just deserts existed, he claimed, the longest and most severe punishment would be reserved for those who "slandered God by inventing Hell". As his Treasury of Humor and Asimov Laughs Again record, he was amply willing to tell jokes involving the Judeo-Christian God, Satan, the Garden of Eden and other religious topics, expressing the viewpoint that a good joke can do more to provoke thought than hours of philosophical discussion.
Asimov was a progressive on most political issues, and a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. He was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War in the 1960s, and in a television interview in the early 1970s he publicly endorsed George McGovern. He was unhappy at what he saw as an irrationalist track taken by many progressive political activists from the late 1960s onwards. In his autobiography Yours, Isaac Asimov, he states that though he would prefer living in "no danger whatsoever" than near a nuclear reactor, he would still prefer a home near a nuclear power plant than in a slum, on Love Canal or near "a Union Carbide plant producing methyl isocyanate" (see Bhopal disaster). He issued many appeals for population control reflecting the perspective articulated by people from Thomas Malthus through Paul R. Ehrlich. Asimov considered himself a feminist even before Women's Liberation became a widespread movement; he joked that he wished women to be free "because I hate it when they charge". More seriously, he argued that the issue of women's rights was closely connected to that of population control. Furthermore, he believed that homosexuality must be considered a "moral right" on population grounds, as must all consenting adult sexual activity which does not lead to reproduction (Yours, Isaac Asimov).
In the closing years of his life, Asimov blamed the deterioration of the quality of life that he perceived in New York on the shrinking tax base caused by middle class flight to the suburbs. His last non-fiction book, Our Angry Earth (1991, co-written with his long-time friend science fiction author Frederik Pohl), deals with elements of the environmental crisis such as global warming and the destruction of the ozone layer.
Asimov's career can be divided into several time periods. His early career, dominated by science fiction, began with short stories in 1939 and novels in 1950. This lasted until about 1958, all but ending after publication of Foundation's Edge. From then until his death, Asimov would publish several sequels and prequels to his existing novels, tying them together in a way he had not originally anticipated.
In his own view, Asimov believed that his most enduring contributions would be his "Foundation Series (see Yours, Isaac Asimov, p. 329). Furthermore, the Oxford English Dictionary credits his science fiction for introducing the words positronic (an entirely fictional technology), psychohistory (frequently used in a different sense than the imaginary one Asimov employed) and robotics into the English language. Asimov coined the term robotics without suspecting that it might be an original word; at the time, he believed it was simply the natural analogue of mechanics, hydraulics and so forth. (The original word robot derives from the Czech word for "forced labor", robota, and was first employed by the playwright Karel Capek.) Unlike his other two coinages, the word robotics continues in mainstream and technical use with Asimov's original definition. Star Trek: The Next Generation featured androids with "positronic brains", giving Asimov full credit for inventing this (fictional) technology.
Asimov began contributing stories to science fiction magazines in 1939, "Nightfall and Other Stories he wrote, "The writing of 'Nightfall' was a watershed in my professional career... I was suddenly taken seriously and the world of science fiction became aware that I existed. As the years passed, in fact, it became evident that I had written a 'classic'".
"Nightfall" is an archetypical example of social science fiction, a term coined by Asimov to describe a new trend in the 1940's, led by authors including Asimov and Heinlein, away from gadgets and space opera and toward speculation about the human condition.
In 1942 he began his Foundation stories-later collected in the Forward the Foundation (1992). The series features his fictional science of Psychohistory in which the future course of the history of large populations can be predicted.
His robot stories-many of which were collected in The Bicentennial Man", was made into a movie starring Robin Williams.
The recent film I, Robot, starring Will Smith, was based on the Hardwired script by Jeff Vintar with Asimov's ideas incorporated later after acquiring the rights to the I, Robot title. It is not related to the I, Robot script by Harlan Ellison, who collaborated with Asimov himself to create a version that captured the spirit of the original. Asimov is quoted as saying that Ellison's screenplay would lead to "the first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made". The screenplay was published in book form in 1994, after hopes of seeing it in film form were becoming slim.
Besides movies, his Foundation and Robot stories have inspired other derivative works of science fiction literature, many by well-known and established authors such as Roger MacBride Allen, Greg Bear, and David Brin. These appear to have been done with the blessing, and often at the request of, Asimov's widow Janet Asimov.
In 1948 he also wrote a spoof science article, "The Endochronic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline". At the time, Asimov was preparing for his own doctoral dissertation. Fearing a prejudicial reaction from his Ph.D. evaluation board, he asked his editor that it be released under a pseudonym, yet it appeared under his own name. During his oral examination shortly thereafter, Asimov grew concerned at the scrutiny he received. At the end of the examination, one evaluator turned to him, smiling, and said "Mr. Asimov, tell us something about the thermodynamic properties of the compound thiotimoline". After a twenty-minute wait, he was summoned back into the Examination Room and congratulated as "Dr. Asimov."
He continued writing short stories for science fiction magazines in the 1950s, which he referred to as his golden decade. A number of these are included in his Best of anthology, including "The Last Question" (1956), on the ability of humankind to cope with and reverse entropy. It was his personal favorite and considered by many to be a contender to "Nightfall". Asimov wrote of it in 1973,
Why is it my favorite? For one thing I got the idea all at once and didn't have to fiddle with it; and I wrote it in white-heat and scarcely had to change a word. This sort of things endears any story to any writer.
Then, too, it has had the strangest effect on my readers. Frequently someone writes to ask me if I can give them the name of a story, which they think I may have written, and tell them where to find it. They don't remember the title but when they describe the story it is invariably "The Last Question". This has reached the point where I recently received a long-distance phone call from a desperate man who began, "Dr. Asimov, there's a story I think you wrote, whose title I can't remember-" at which point I interrupted to tell him it was "The Last Question" and when I described the plot it proved to be indeed the story he was after. I left him convinced I could read minds at a distance of a thousand miles.
In December 1974, the former Beatle Paul McCartney approached Asimov and asked him if he could write the screenplay for a science-fiction movie musical. McCartney had a vague idea for the plot and a small scrap of dialogue; he wished to make a film about a rock band whose members discover they are being impersonated by a group of extraterrestrials. The band and their imposters would likely be played by McCartney's group Wings, then at the height of their career. Intrigued by the idea, although he was not generally a fan of rock music, Asimov quickly produced a "treatment" or brief outline of the story. He adhered to McCartney's overall idea, producing a story he felt to be moving and dramatic. However, he did not make use of McCartney's brief scrap of dialogue, and probably in consequence, McCartney rejected the story. The treatment now exists only in Boston University's archives.
Beginning in 1977, he lent his name to Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine (now Asimov's Science Fiction) and penned an editorial for each issue. There was also a short-lived Asimov's SF Adventure Magazine and a companion Asimov's Science Fiction Anthology reprint series, published as magazines (in the same manner as stablemates Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine's "anthologies").
During the late 1950s and 1960s, Asimov shifted gears somewhat, and substantially decreased his fiction output (he published only four adult novels between 1957's The Intelligent Man's Guide to Science, also allowed him to give up most of his academic responsibilities and become essentially a full-time freelance writer.
He published Asimov's Guide To the Bible in two volumes-covering the Old Testament in 1967 and the New Testament in 1969- and then combined them into one 1300-page volume in 1981. Replete with maps and tables, the guide goes through the books of the Bible in order, explaining the history of each one and the political influences that affected it, as well as biographical information about the important characters.
Asimov also wrote several essays on the social contentions of his day, including "Science: Knock Plastic" (1967).
The great variety of information covered in Asimov's writings once prompted Kurt Vonnegut to ask, "How does it feel to know everything?" Asimov replied that he only knew how it felt to have the reputation of omniscience- "Uneasy". (See Slow Learner, Thomas Pynchon admitted that he relied upon Asimov's science popularizations (and the Oxford English Dictionary) to provide his knowledge of entropy.
It is a mark of the friendship and respect accorded Asimov by Arthur C. Clarke that the so-called "Asimov-Clarke Treaty of Park Avenue", put together as they shared a cab ride along Park Avenue in New York, stated that Asimov was required to insist that Clarke was the best science fiction writer in the world (reserving second best for himself), while Clarke was required to insist that Asimov was the best science writer in the world (reserving second best for himself). Thus the dedication in Clarke's book Report on Planet Three (1972) reads: "In accordance with the terms of the Clarke-Asimov treaty, the second-best science writer dedicates this book to the second-best science-fiction writer."
In addition to his interest in science, Asimov was also greatly interested in history. Starting in the 1960s, he wrote fourteen popular history books, most notably The Roman Empire (1967).
Never entirely lacking wit and humor, towards the end of his life Asimov published a series of collections of limericks, mostly written by himself, starting with Asimov's Treasury of Humor is both a working joke book and a treatise propounding his views on humor theory. According to Asimov, the most essential element of humor is an abrupt change in point of view, one that suddenly shifts focus from the important to the trivial, or from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Particularly in his later years, Asimov to some extent cultivated an image of himself as an amiable lecher. In 1971, as a response to the popularity of sexual guidebooks such as The Sensuous Woman (by "J") and The Sensuous Man (by "M"), Asimov published The Sensuous Dirty Old Man under the byline "Dr. 'A'", but with his full name prominently displayed on the cover.
Asimov published two volumes of autobiography, taking their titles from Wordsworth: It's Been a Good Life (2002), edited by Janet, is a condensed version of his three autobiographies.

Kerry: Biden can put a chaotic world back on course
John Kerry speaks at a rally for Joe Biden at his campaign office in Cedar Rapids on Friday, Jan. 10, 2020. The Iowa Caucus will be held on Monday, Feb. 3. (Rebecca F. Miller/The Gazette)
John Kerry, guest columnist
Sixteen years ago, Iowa was my home-away-from-home. I crisscrossed your state. I got to know the "City of Five Seasons" — and Iived and breathed Iowa's sixth season, too: the presidential caucuses.
I'd never dare tell an Iowan how to vote, but I do want to share with you how and why I came to my decision to back Joe Biden now. I've worked up-close with him for decades — but I'm not supporting Joe because I've known him so long, but because I know him so well. I believe that more than any candidate, he has the strength to beat Trump and the unique ability to put back together the world Trump has smashed apart.
So much damage has been done.
In the Obama-Biden Administration, we invested years uniting the world to win a tough agreement that tackled Iran's nuclear ambitions. Trump tore it up and is now pushing us to the brink of military conflict.
We built a diplomatic strategy to beat ISIL, stripping terrorists of territory and power. Trump abandoned our Kurdish partners, shredded American credibility, and now Iraq is voting to expel us
We rallied more than 180 nations around the Paris Climate Agreement, to fight the existential crisis that has already hit Iowa with record floods and droughts. Trump backed out, denies science, and is gutting environmental protections.
Joe Biden wasn't just key to all the progress we made back then. He has the vision, know-how, and global relationships to start reversing Trump's havoc now.
Solutions won't be easy or automatic for the next President. Democrats are lucky to have many principled candidates in this race — but only Joe has sat in the Situation Room and helped make some of the hardest, loneliest decisions of a presidency. Only Joe spent decades leading the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, logging hundreds of thousands of miles to build American diplomatic strength.
I was there — I served and traveled with him in the Senate and Administration. I saw him stand up to our adversaries, stand with our allies, and stand against the abuse of power. I saw how respected he is in the world.
I also saw Joe win fights that needed fighting at home: passing the landmark Violence Against Women Act; defeating the NRA with the assault weapons ban; and finding the votes to pass the Affordable Care Act, providing health coverage to nearly 250,000 uninsured Iowans and millions more American families.
I've seen Joe tested in life, and know his moral center. He has always fought for the dignity of work and the American dream. He never quit, even as his beloved son lost a heartbreaking battle for his life. For Joe, loyalty isn't something you demand of others, it's something you give, to your country and your fellow humans.
Amid tday's cynicism and chaos, we need a president like Joe with the honor and strength to revive America and restore our country's soul. To rebuild a strong middle class and reward work. To invest in Iowa biofuels, and up the ante in the fight against climate change.
It's time to put an end to Donald Trump's dangerous tenure — and Iowa can cast the first votes to put character and a steady hand back in the White House. When you caucus, please don't just send a message — send us a president who knows how to unify our country and put the world back together, whose lifetime of service proves he knows how to fight and win. Send us Joe Biden.
John Kerry is the former U.S. secretary of state and U.S. senator from Massachusetts. He was the Democratic nominee for president in 2004.

Born in present day northern Afghanistan, Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī grew up in an enclave of Persian culture. Rumi's father was a theologian and mystic. When Mongols invaded Central Asia, the family moved west across the Persian empire. It was during this trek westward that the young Rumi encountered some of Persia's most famous mystic poets.
The mystical and spiritual philosophy of Sufism was highly regarded in the Persian Empire and was responsible for a flourishing intellectual culture across the region. Rumi was encouraged to seek out Sufi scholars during his travels, continuing to shape Rumi's spiritual philosophy and heavily influence his writings. Rumi's father was eventually invited to settle in Konya, Anatolia and become head of a madrassa (religious school). Upon his father's death, Rumi inherited the position.
It was in Damascus where Rumi met the Dervish Shams-e-Tabrizi, and the two became close friends. Rumi set aside his respected position as teacher and jurist to become an ascetic, and pursue his deeper spiritual and mystical quest through poetry, music and dance. Shams disappeared and was rumored to have been murdered. The sudden loss of and bereavement for resulted in an outpouring of lyrical poems dedicated to his friend.
Rumi's poetry found many admirers and supporters. He was encouraged to continue writing poetry, resulting in his seminal masterwork, the Masnavi , dictated during the last 12 years of his life.
Following his death, the Mevlevi Sufi order was established by Rumi's followers. As was the custom during Rumi's time, they believed that dance could heighten the spiritual connection with God, and continue to this day, their whirling dance in a ceremony called the Sema.
Our Origins of Civilization journey visits Rumi's mausoleum and Mevlana Museum. Although the Sema is only performed once a year in Konya, we can arrange for you to observe this religious rite in Istanbul if your schedule allows.
