IN RE: SHARON THURSTON
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York.
IN RE: SHARON THURSTON, PETITIONER–RESPONDENT, v. KEITH C. SKELLINGTON, JR., RESPONDENT, AND OSWEGO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, RESPONDENT–APPELLANT.
CAF 11–00883
Decided: November 18, 2011
PRESENT: PERADOTTO, J.P., CARNI, LINDLEY, SCONIERS, AND GREEN, JJ. CARACCIOLI & NELSON, PLLC, MEXICO (ALLISON J. NELSON OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT–APPELLANT.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that the order insofar as appealed from is unanimously reversed on the law without costs, the petition is denied, and the matter is remitted to Family Court, Oswego County, for further proceedings in accordance with the following Memorandum: Respondent Oswego County Department of Social Services (DSS) appeals from an order that, inter alia, granted the maternal grandmother's petition seeking sole legal and physical custody of the minor child. We note at the outset that the only issue raised by DSS concerns the propriety of the order with respect to custody, and thus we deem abandoned any other issues concerning the order that may have been raised by DSS (see Ciesinski v. Town of Aurora, 202 A.D.2d 984).
We agree with DSS that Family Court's determination with respect to custody lacks a sound and substantial basis in the record (see Matter of Bryan K.B. v. Destiny S.B., 43 AD3d 1448, 1449). While there is no question that the grandmother loves the child and wishes to care for him, those facts alone are insufficient to warrant a determination that the child's best interests will be served by an award of custody to the grandmother, particularly in light of the substantial and largely unrefuted evidence of DSS and the Attorney for the Child that the grandmother, while perhaps able to meet minimal standards of fitness, lacks the capacity to provide for the child's emotional and intellectual development (see Matter of Matthew E. v Erie County Dept. of Social Servs., 41 AD3d 1240, 1242; see generally Matter of Louise E.S. v W. Stephen S., 64 N.Y.2d 946; Eschbach v. Eschbach, 56 N.Y.2d 167, 172–173). The record reflects that the grandmother has a lengthy history of indicated child protective services reports spanning from 1979 until 2008, which involve allegations of, inter alia, medical neglect, failure to maintain a clean home, inadequate provision of food, and failure to ensure that her children attend school. Indeed, all four of the grandmother's children were removed from her care for significant periods of time during their childhoods. Further, the record establishes that the grandmother is unemployed and is entirely reliant upon governmental financial assistance, suffers from various health problems, is unable to drive, and has a limited education. Those circumstances are particularly problematic given the substantial evidence that the child has been diagnosed with multiple behavioral and learning disabilities including, inter alia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, disruptive disorder, and reactive attachment disorder. At the custody hearing, the child's foster mother testified that he requires "constant one-on-one attention," and his first-grade teacher likewise testified that the child needed structure and consistency and required more attention than the average child. Two DSS caseworkers, a clinical psychologist who evaluated the grandmother and the child, and a psychiatric social worker all expressed concern that the grandmother would be unable to handle the child's special needs, particularly as he became older. Importantly, the child's foster mother, his principal, his social worker, and the DSS witnesses all testified that the child's behavior deteriorated upon increased visitation with the grandmother.
We thus conclude that, "while continued placement in foster care is not ideal, it is not in the best interests of the[ ] child[ ] to have custody awarded to [the grandmother]" (Matter of Susan FF. v. MaryAnn FF., 11 AD3d 757, 758). We therefore reverse the order insofar as appealed from and deny the grandmother's petition. In view of the fact that the order on appeal also concerns visitation with the father and other issues that were not addressed on appeal, we therefore deem it appropriate in view of our determination to afford Family Court the opportunity to address any such issues that are affected by our determination. We therefore remit the matter to Family Court for that purpose.

Сергиевский скит (также Сергиево-Радонежский скит) — один из скитов Соловецкого монастыря, находящийся на острове Большая Муксалма Соловецкого архипелага.

История скита
В соответствии с завещанием преподобного Зосимы Соловецкого не держать на Большом Соловецком острове плодящих животных, монастырь стал использовать для разведения скота и устройства молочного хозяйства расположенный рядом остров Большая Муксалма. В середине XVI века, при игумене Филиппе здесь были расчищены от леса сенокосы и пастбища, устроены скотные дворы.

В 1829 году из монастыря на остров была перенесена старая деревянная кладбищенская Онуфриевская церковь и после перестройки освящена как часовня во имя священномученика Власия, считающегося покровителем домашнего скота. В 1839 году были обустроены валунная скотопойня и баня. В 1859—1866 годах была построена валунная дамба, которая соединила Большой Соловецкий остров с Большой Муксалмой и позволила независимо от погоды перегонять скот и перевозить необходимые материалы с острова на остров.

В 1876 году на средства, пожертвованные купцом М. И. Шапошниковым, была возведена каменная церковь во имя преподобного Сергия Радонежского, по проекту архангельского архитектора П. В. Кармина. С появлением храма в 1900 году на Муксалме был официально учрежден скит имени того же святого. К началу XX века были построены два келейных корпуса: каменный хозяйственный с ледником и Сергиевский деревянный, а также птичник.

Начиная с этого времени остров стал всё чаще посещаться паломниками, в том числе желающими ознакомиться с отлично организованным хозяйством скита. Сохранились воспоминания, побывавшего здесь В. И. Немировича-Данченко: «Мы въехали на Муксалму, зеленеющую, покрытую пастбищами. При нас на мост вошло целое стадо превосходных коров, телят — всего штук двести. Их отправляли пастись на свежие луга Соловецкого острова. Мы посетили птичий двор, ферму, где осмотрели великолепно содержимые конюшни, которые чистят и моют ежедневно. От этого так необыкновенно красив и самый скот соловецкий. Теплая комната для сквашивания молока опрятна до педантства. В кладовой медные, хорошо вылуженные посудины для молока сияют, как зеркала… Прохладная горница для хранения молочных продуктов и рядом ледник — верх хозяйственного удобства и чистоты. Не знаешь, чему удивляться… на чём ни останавливался взгляд — все было безукоризненно, все поражало своим удобством и целесообразностью».

После Октябрьской революции с 1920 по 1930 годы, на территории Сергиевского скита находилось одно из подразделений Соловецкого лагеря особого назначения (СЛОНа). Где-то в первой половине XX века был полностью разрушен храм во имя Сергия Радонежского. После Великой Отечественной войны в скиту размещалось подсобное хозяйство Учебного отряда Северного флота. С начала 1960-х годов постройки скита не использовались, постепенно разрушались и к началу 2000-х годов превратились в руины.

Современное состояние

Монашеская жизнь в Сергиево-Радонежском скиту возобновилась в 2003 году, когда в нём стали постоянно проживать насельники монастыря. Реставрационные работы начались в 2010 году, после того как патриарх Кирилл благословил восстановление Сергиевского скита «как места молитвы и хозяйственных послушаний».

Престольными праздниками пустыни являются  и  — дни памяти Сергия Радонежского. В эти дни приходящий в скит иеромонах служит молебен с водоосвящением на месте разрушенной церкви преподобного Сергия.

Сергиевский скит в 2013 году:

Q: The orientation determined by a differential form Let me begin with a quote from Lee's Introduction to Smooth Manifolds, where my question came from.

Proposition 15.5. Let $M$ be a smooth $n$-manifold. Any nonvanishing $n$-form $\omega$ on $M$ determines a unique orientation  of $M$ for which $\omega$ is positively-oriented at each point. Conversely, if $M$ is given an orientation, then there is a smooth nonvanishing $n$-form on $M$ that is positively-oriented at each point.

I'm wondering what the uniqueness in the statement is all about. Lee did not stress it in the proof of the proposition. All he did is show that the pointwise orientation on $M$ induced by $\omega$ is actually continuous, making $M$ orientable. However, Lee did pose a remark before the proof that seems to address my question:

Remark. ... It is easy to check that if $\omega$ and $\widetilde{\omega}$ are two positively-oriented smooth $n$-forms on $M$, then $\widetilde{\omega}=f\omega$ for some positive smooth function $f$ on $M$. ...

So the uniqueness is up to a positive function really? Thank you for your attention.

Or put another way - dysfunctional buying practices..
over the past 20 years I have seen countless dysfunctional buying practices perpetuated by company policy and individual assertions. some of these dysfunctional buying practices, are a result of dysfunctional selling practices that have arisen over the past few decades. At some point we all better start working together to develop real win-win scenarios or we will be finding ourselves at the back of the economic food chain as a nation.
BNET recently published an article on the Top 10 Mistakes Customers Make. Fortunately I have only seen a few of these in my career. the ones I have have most often seen are.
MISTAKE #10: Overestimating their buying authority - Right before the deal is made they reveal that some other person or group of people need to approve the purchase.
MISTAKE #9: Negotiating a Win/Lose deal - The customer insists that the deal must be written up in such a way that they get extraordinarily advantageous terms.
MISTAKE #8: Buying for the wrong reason - A customer buys a product because he simply wants to please you or it is what most other people seem to be using, etc.
MISTAKE #7: Valuing sizzle over steak - The customer wants to buy your product because of a feature that's irrelevant to its ability to solve a problem or achieve a goal.
MISTAKE #5: Delegating Purchasing/Negotiations - Customer delegates buying authority to a purchasing group, often eliminating innovatinve new companies in exchange for "pre approved" solutions.
MISTAKE #4: Windowshopping - A customer asks for information, demonstrations, and agrees to meetings but in fact has no intention whatsoever of buying, either from you or a competitor.
MISTAKE #1: Buying from an inferior competitor - You know you have the right product for the prospect, but the prospect buys from somebody who doesn't.
OK, so maybe I have been witness to most of them. You can read all 10 mistakes here.
RFP practices that hide and protect vital information, and restrict personal contact.
Sellers are expected to reveal proprietary knowledge and to present an immediate solutions to problems that may have existed for years.
Although both sides own the problem, it is up to the salesperson to strive for a solution say the authors. That is to create a mutually beneficial dialogue that is consultative, value based and integrity driven.
So why is that so many "customers" simply deny "trusted" vendors with information needed to create truly win/win scenarios. I think part of the issue is that no matter how many times a customer may say they want a partnership, they just do not get past thinking of their "trusted partners as vendors" and thus never truly trust them with all the information that may be available.
doc I think I have a serious illness.. the Dr. asks , so where does it hurt?. you respond. I am not a liberty to discuss that at this time. Dr. asks. how long have you noticed the problem? you respond, I am not sure. Dr. asks can I take some of your vitals? you respond, only after you provide me with an initial guess as to what is wrong.

For the second straight weekend, the Nebraska volleyball team knocked a Big Ten team from the ranks of the unbeaten as the Huskers defeated No. 7 Illinois, 3-1 (25-14, 19-25, 25-17, 25-19), in front of a crowd of 3,569 at Huff Hall on Saturday night.
The third-ranked Huskers (13-1, 4-0 Big Ten) extended their win streak to 13 matches and have won a nation-leading 10 straight matches on the road. Nebraska has won 18 straight Big Ten matches dating back to last season, and Saturday's win came against the previously unbeaten Illini, now 14-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten. Last week, Nebraska beat then-undefeated Michigan.
Mikaela Foecke had 13 kills and 11 digs while hitting .321 to lead the Huskers. Callie Schwarzenbach had a career-high nine kills on 11 swings (.818) with eight blocks. Lexi Sun also had nine kills with four blocks. Jazz Sweet and Lauren Stivrins both had eight kills. Sweet had five blocks, and Stivrins had four blocks and three aces. Nicklin Hames coordinated the balanced attack with 42 assists. Kenzie Maloney led NU with 13 digs.
The Huskers hit .271 and their nation-leading defense held Illinois to a season-low .157 hitting percentage. NU out-blocked Illinois 14-7 and had a big advantage at the service line with eight aces and five errors compared to two aces and eight errors for the Illini.
Jacqueline Quade led Illinois with 22 kills. Beth Prince added 12.
Set 1: The first set was tightly contested early with neither team able to go ahead by more than two through 24 rallies. But a kill by Stivrins made it 13-11 and Hayley Densberger served an 8-0 run, which included an ace, to make it 20-11 Huskers. NU went on to take the set 25-14 with Stivrins serving back-to-back aces to end the set, giving her three total. Foecke had six kills and a block, and NU out-hit the Illini .478 to .069.
Set 2: Nebraska went up 8-4 with a pair of blocks by Schwarzenbach and Sweet to start off the set. But Illinois rallied to take an 18-14 lead after a 5-0 run. A service error and a kill by Foecke cut the lead to 18-16, but the Illini answered with a sideout each time the Huskers got within two. Illinois finished off the 25-19 win on a 4-0 run, out-hitting the Huskers .324 to .094.
Set 3: Kills by Sun and Schwarzenbach, a trio of blocks and an ace by Maloney gave the Huskers a quick 7-2 start. But the Illini began chipping away at the lead once again, and a pair of Prince kills began a 4-0 run that tied the set at 10-10. The Illini took their first lead at 12-11, but a block by Sun and Schwarzenbach, followed by a kill by Sweet, a kill by Schwarzenbach and an ace by Sun restored a 15-12 Husker lead. Ahead 18-15, the Huskers took control with a 6-0 run to go up 24-15. Foecke served the run and had a kill and an ace, while Stivrins had a kill and back-to-back blocks with Sun and Hames. Stivrins tipped home a kill to end the set at 25-17. The Huskers responded from their second-set defeat by hitting .321 in set three and holding Illinois to .118.
Set 4: Nebraska's block got them off to a strong start once again with Schwarzenbach combining with Hames and then Sweet for a 2-0 edge early on. A kill by Schwarzenbach and an ace by Densberger helped extend the lead to 7-3, and a kill by Sun forced an Illinois timeout as the Huskers led 9-4. Illinois trailed by six before pulling within 13-11 after a 4-0 spurt. But Sweet earned sideout for Nebraska and Illinois hit the antenna to make it 15-11. The Illini pulled within two again, but Foecke and Sun posted back-to-back kills for a 19-15 Husker lead. The teams traded sideouts for the next four rallies before an Illini hitting error and a block by Schwarzenbach and Sun made it 23-17. The Huskers finished off the 25-19 win on a Sweet kill.
Up Next: The Huskers are back home for three straight Big Ten home matches, beginning with Iowa on Wednesday at 6 p.m.


In an aim to explore new challenges, Sara left Barcelona and headed to New York City. While completing her MBA at Columbia Business School she caught the entrepreneurial spirit that would later help her to materialize her love for fine perfumery.
After years of working amongst the best in the perfumery business Sara returned home, to Barcelona. Working alongside world renowned perfumers, she poured parts of herself, her experiences, her thoughts and dreams one droplet at a time, creating unique fragrances that she can now share with others.
Carner Barcelona has six fragrances, all of which are represented in the six-sample set you can buy online. They are: Cuirs, D600, El Born, Palo Santo, Rima XI and Tardes. I'm especially excited to try El Born, as that is a Barcelona neighborhood my family and I know, and love. Anchored by the 14th century church of Santa Maria del Mar, in an area once known for medieval jousting, today's El Born is a maze of medieval passageways opening out into small greenspaces and packed with high-style boutiques, art galleries, tapas restaurants and other chic city amenities. The city's long history is present everywhere, around every corner. Carner Barcelona has thoroughly embraced Barcelona's heritage as well as its contemporary fashion vibe. Even its house insignia is meant to recall the beautiful 19th century ironwork one sees throughout the city.
A nice summary of Carner Barcelona and its perfumes appears at Fragrantica. If you have tried any of them, I'd love to know your reactions!

The average life expectancy of a German Shepherd Dog is between 10 and 13 years, with frequent examples in excess of those figures. It is a wonderful achievement for animals to achieve the grand old age of 13 years. As a club, the GSDL voted at their meeting held on Monday 8 October to celebrate this wonderful milestone by starting the 13's Club Honour Roll, a way in which a dog which has celebrated its 13th birthday, along with the owner and breeder, could be recognised.
Firstly for the animal, as with many breeds the GSD is not precluded from illness and ailments that may take an animal at a younger age. The owners of these senior citizens are also to be congratulated as their nurturing and care has been invaluable, giving their companion the love and attention necessary to reach this wonderful age. In some instances, bringing these loved animals into the world, whilst in the majority of cases loving their golden oldie from an 8 week old bundle of fluff, through the naughty adolescent months prior to maturity and then enjoying them growing old gracefully.

NewCo and the whole team in Casablanca is very pleased to be able to move to a new facility in Casablanca. We all loved our old facility, but it became much too small and was not responding to our current needs. The new facility is a brand new building (7 floors), adapted from scratch to our specific requirements: workplaces, training rooms, entertainment rooms, cafeteria, technical infrastructure, data security (PCI).


I am trying to find a William NANSON born somewhere between 1823-1825 in America. (I know.....not much to go on)He was married in Bradford, Yorkshire, England in 1842 to Ann Tillotson CHESTER. He remarried Mary ELLIS in 1860 in Bradford. His father was William. I don't know who his mother was. They only list father on marriage certificates in England. Would appreciate any help I could get on this brick wall of mine.

Visiting Playas del Coco, Costa Rica
Once a quiet fishing village, over the past few decades Playas del Coco has emerged as a tourist hub complete with amenities and services including tour operators, private and public clinics, an upscale supermarket, and shopping.
Playas del Coco is most known for its lively nightlife and proximity to some of the most beautiful and unique beaches in Costa Rica. It serves as an enjoyable and practical base for a romantic or family vacation to Costa Rica. Most importantly, it is an ideal launch pad from which to explore nearby beaches, party with locals and expats, and get set for adventure and tourism activities in the area such as sport fishing, diving, snorkeling, and surfing.
Where is Playas del Coco in Costa Rica?
On the Northwestern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, Playas del Coco rests on the dazzling Gulf of Papagayo, several hours south of the border with Nicaragua. It is located in the province of Guanacaste, which is known as a cradle of Costa Rican culture and the birthplace of several of the country's most notable traditional dances such as the Punto Guanacasteco.
Today, Playas del Coco is a mixing place for locals, international visitors, and long-term residents. Thanks to its budget accommodations and convenient location, it is traditionally a popular family destination for Ticos (Costa Ricans), especially during holidays such as Semana Santa (Easter week), Christmas and New Years.
The main street of Playas del Coco is straight shot towards the beach, lined on both sides by restaurants, bars, and shops. You can find foods of many flavors, including local sodas (typical mom-and-pop restaurants) and fried chicken joints, as well international fare including burritos, pizza, burgers, seafood, Asian fusion, and falafel.
What draws most visitors to "Coco Beach," as it is known in English, is its reputation for its animated nightlife and easy bar-hopping. Unlike other smaller, sleepier beach villages, El Coco, as it is known by locals, comes to life after sunset, with most bars rolling out happy hours and drink specials, serving customers into the late hours of the night.
The atmosphere is decidedly open-air and beach-casual. On most nights of the week the boisterous sounds of live music, DJs and amateur karaoke spill onto the sidewalk. If you're feeling lucky, you might even find yourself playing Texas Hold'Em, Roulette, or the slot machines at one of Playa del Coco's casinos.
What to do in and around Playas del Coco
In addition to swimming and relaxing on the beach, the options for adventure and outdoor recreation abound in and around Playas del Coco. Choose from activities such as surfing, snorkeling, sea kayaking, bird-watching, horseback riding, and ATV tours.
Playas del Coco is known for its excellent fishing and prolific waters. Sport fishing charters and tours head out daily from the marina. Common catches in this region of the Pacific include various kinds of Snapper, Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, and Sailfish.
Diving is the most immersive way to explore the underwater world of marine wildlife including manta rays, colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, eels and even sharks. You'll find multiple diving companies in Playas del Coco, offering everything from a short recreational dive tour to advanced PADI diving courses. Diving trips may explore the reefs in the immediate area, or head further out to more remote destinations such as Islas Murcielago (Bat Islands) and Isla Catalina (Catalina Island).
Exploring Local Beaches
Beaches in this area of the Guanacaste coast are quite diverse in terms of landscape, degree of development and vegetation. After enjoying Playa del Coco's own modest beachfront, take off for day trips in either direction along the coast and you'll find an enchanting array of beaches such as Ocotal, Brasilito, Flamingo, Potrero and Panama, each with its own scene and vibe. Conchal beach is known for its unique sand made up of colorful bits of crushed seashells. Few can resist the classic white-sand, family vacation magnet of Hermosa beach.
Whether you fancy white sand, black sand, palm trees, beachfront bars, or rocky cliffs, the "Gold Coast" of Costa Rica has got you covered. Keep in mind that while some beaches are easily accessible on fully-paved roads, others can only be accessed via unpaved roads that require a 4×4 vehicle.
Playas del Coco is located just over an hour's drive from two of Guanacaste province's most unique historic and natural attractions. Rincón de la Vieja provides phenomenal hiking, refreshing waterfalls, relaxing volcanic hot springs, and rejuvenating mud baths. In Rincón de la Vieja National Park you can tour geological wonders such as bubbling funerals, steaming geysers, and a genuine "mini" volcano.
Protecting both national history and tropical dry forest ecosystems, Santa Rosa National Park combines culture and conservation in one location. You can visit the famous Casona de Santa Rosa (mansion of Santa Rosa) where, in 1856, a small Costa Rican army successfully fought off the invading filibusters who were led by U.S. citizen William Walker. Due to its biological and cultural significance, the Conservation Area of Guanacaste has been declared a Natural World Heritage site by UNESCO.
What is the Weather is like in Playas del Coco?
Playas del Coco enjoys a tropical beach climate year-round. From December to April, the dry season, you can generally expect very little rainfall. Afternoon rain showers become more frequent during the rainy season from May – November. Temperatures generally range from 70-90 degrees Fahrenheit, 21-32 Celsius, throughout the year. After the sun sets, the air becomes balmy, perfect for an evening stroll down the main drag or stargazing on the beach.
How to Get To Playas del Coco
Playas del Coco is about 40 minutes from the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR) in Liberia. From the Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO) in the central valley, it is about a 4 to 5-hour drive, depending on traffic and conditions. Which airport is best for you depends on the length of your stay, your destinations, and your itinerary.

Jews learn about Shariah
By Toby Tabachnick March 8, 2012, 4:17 pm 0 Edit
Twenty Pittsburgh attorneys, including many Jews, turned out Monday, Feb. 27, to learn about Shariah law in a one-time, three-hour course offered by the Agency for Jewish Learning, in partnership with the Pittsburgh Area Jewish Committee.
The course, which offered continuing legal education credit to its attendees, featured guest lecturer Haider Ala Hamoudi, assistant professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh Law School, and Rabbi Scott Aaron, community scholar at the AJL.
The course was intended to clear up "a lot of misconceptions about Shariah as a legal system," Aaron said.
For instance, "Most Americans encounter Shariah only through the media, when some extremist issues a fatwa justifying the murder of innocents as an act of Jihad or permitting 'honor killings' of women for embarrassing their families," Aaron said. "This kind of sensationalist perception overshadows the reality that Shariah is a rich, diverse and nuanced legal system for daily Islamic life in much the same way that Halacha is for daily Jewish life."
In fact, Aaron sees several parallels between Halacha and Shariah:
• Both historically developed in close physical and geographic proximity to each other in a "state of symbiosis;"
• Both are relevant to all areas of human behavior;
• Both distinguish between areas associated with religious ritual and those relating to private law; and
• Both distinguish between matters concerning man and God and matters concerning interpersonal relations.
"In the United States, the parallels between Shariah and Halacha have much to teach us about what we historically have in common between our two ancient communities, which can in turn be used to build a dialogue between our two American communities," Aaron said. There is a parallel in our shared American immigrant experience that can be informative as well; 100 years ago we were the immigrants and American Judaism developed along denominational paths in response to our immigration and Americanization experience. Now, the Muslims are immigrating here and need to develop their own American Islam in response to their immigration and Americanization experience.
"If we refuse to engage them along the way or hold them at arms length," he added, "we run the risk of causing the same alienation of this minority by the majority that our own community experienced as we immigrated here. American history teaches us that we all have much more to gain from co-existence here than alienation."
While Shariah is very "rules-based," Hamoudi noted in his lecture, the Quran itself, the holy book of Islam, contains only about two dozen rules.
All other rules of Islam have derived through the centuries, Hamoudi said, through two schools of thought: discretion and reason, and Sunnah — an Islamic legal intepretation based on a chain of narrators.
"The idea that took over was that you go by not only by the Quran, but by the Sunnah," Hamoudi said. "You can't go by reason or discretion. You do it by a chain of narrators. You try to locate someone who heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from the prophet."
The problems inherent in this system are obvious, according to Hamoudi.
"Fans of reason had a big problem with Sunnah," he said, "because if any one of the narrators [in the chain] lies, you have made these authorities a source higher than reason."
Hamoudi discussed other sources of Shariah law, including rules formed by a consensus among a panel of jurists.
Although there are several methods in Islam of forming and interpreting rules outside of those mandated in the Quran, "there is not a consensus on everything," Hamoudi said. "Differing interpretations are equally valid. That kind of pluralism is embraced in Shariah."
The embracing of pluralism in terms of defining the law in Shariah, however, has led to some problems, Hamoudi said, including confusion as to which authority one should turn.
"Disaffected and angry youth," who do not have a community jurist to which to turn, often seek out answers on the Internet, where inappropriate interpretations are often espoused.
"This is really a crisis in Sunni Islam," Hamudi said. "Part of our problem is bad press, but part of the problem is internal to us."

Starting Affiliate Marketing
Starting Out With Affiliate Marketing
Write About What You KNOW!
If you are new to affiliate marketing, start with something you know. It is always easier to build a good site on a subject you're interested in. If you try to work on something "popular" but in which you have no interest, you'll find it becoming a "dreaded task". This applies to affiliate marketing as much as to writing.
Be honest about who you are partnering with and your visitors will feel better about contributing to your income. If you seem like you are hiding something, your visitors may go directly through the vendor, instead of using your link. Add into the "about us" on your website something on the lines of "links on this site may be affiliate links. If you buy something through these, this site may earn a commission". You may also want to add something like, "this site provides good information on the subject of ... and the costs of running the site are partly offset by affiliate income. Advertisers LIKE affiliates selling their products and are glad to pay the commission." This is true and also provides the transparence that many countries and search engines require.
Make it Easy On Yourself
Look for easy to sell products when you first start out. Don't advertise something no one has ever heard of, it puts pressure on both you and the consumer. Instead, look at what products are currently "hot" in your preferred market and start with those. Once you have established a base, you can move to more challenging sales.
What Do Customers / Clients WANT?
Look for topics on which consumers WANT help and build your website and your affiliate offers to meet those, that is, provide a solution to their problem. You can find a lot of subjects on which people want information by searching online using the word forums and your preferred area in a search engine. For instance, if you type forums weight loss into a search engine box, you will get loads of forums shown with people asking for help on weight loss in different kinds of areas, such as getting a beach body, weight loss after 50 years old, best diet advice, etc.
Start With Just One * this is a link to my article on "Just One"
Try researching ONE affiliate product in your preferred area and add it to your website. Share your webpage on Facebook, Twitter Tsu and any other social media you use. See if you can get a sale!

Good suggestions. I find it almost impossible to try to sell a product I don't believe in or care about.

Me too. It's not to say that I only sell things that I want because different people want different things but I have to believe it is worthwhile.

Branstad to Parents: Convert Atheist Children by Bringing Them to Church
Gavin Aronsen
On Wednesday, Iowa atheist Justin Scott asked Gov. Terry Branstad about his thoughts on the rise of nonbelievers in the country, particularly among young voters and how to "get them involved" in the political process.
"I think we need to try to lead by example," Branstad said. "I mean, it's like, you know, taking our children to church and encouraging them to get involved."
"But many of the non-believers don't go to church," Scott replied.
"I know. But that's a reason why parents need to try to provide some leadership and encourage that. And encourage our children to stay involved, even when they go off to college. And that's a challenge."
The governor's comments are consistent with a proclamation he signed earlier this year encouraging Iowans to take part in a "99 County Bible Reading Marathon" during the summer outside county courthouses and read the Bible every day until the second coming of Jesus Christ.
In response to the proclamation, the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa and the Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation threatened to sue Branstad for using state resources to promote Christianity. Plano, Texas-based First Liberty, the religious group that defended former Newtown Daily News editor Bob Eschliman after he was fired from the newspaper over a homophobic post on his personal blog, said if a lawsuit happened, it would support Branstad.
As Patheos noted yesterday, the Amherst-based secularist organization Center for Inquiry issued a response to Scott's video. "Proselytizing and church sermons are not how you engage secular Americans in politics — it's how you alienate them," said Cody Hashman, an Iowan who organizes the group's Openly Secular campaign. "For a sitting governor to assert that church and religious belief are the way into political involvement is deeply disappointing. As an Iowan, I would hope our governor would look to connect with his secular constituents, not convert them."

He previously worked as a city reporter for the Ames Tribune, research assistant to investigative journalist Wayne Barrett at the Village Voice, and in various roles at Mother Jones, where his work contributed to a National Magazine Award nomination for the magazine's digital media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
