0 (year)
Title: 0 (year)
Subject: Astronomical year numbering, Proleptic Gregorian calendar, Revised Julian calendar, 1, 1st century
Collection: 0 (Number), Celestial Coordinate System, Chronology, Years
Year zero does not exist in the Anno Domini/Common Era system usually used to number years in the Gregorian calendar and in its predecessor, the Julian calendar. In this system, the year 1 BC is followed by AD 1. However, there is a year zero in astronomical year numbering (where it coincides with the Julian year 1 BC) and in ISO 8601:2004 (where it coincides with the Gregorian year 1 BC) as well as in all Buddhist and Hindu calendars.

Historical, astronomical and ISO year numbering systems
The Anno Domini era was introduced in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus (c. 470–c. 544), who used it to identify the years on his Easter table. He introduced the new era to avoid using the Diocletian era, based on the accession of Emperor Diocletian, as he did not wish to continue the memory of a persecutor of Christians. In the preface to his Easter table, Dionysius stated that the "present year" was "the consulship of Probus Junior [Flavius Anicius Probus Iunior]" which was also 525 years "since the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ".[1] How he arrived at that number is unknown.
Dionysius did not use AD years to date any historical event. This began with the English cleric Bede (c. 672–735), who used AD years in his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum (731), popularizing the era. Bede also used a term similar to the English before Christ once, but that practice did not catch on until very much later. Bede did not sequentially number days of the month, weeks of the year, or months of the year, however, he did number many of the days of the week using a counting origin of one in Ecclesiastical Latin. Previous Christian histories used anno mundi ("in the year of the world") beginning on the first day of creation, or anno Adami ("in the year of Adam") beginning at the creation of Adam five days later (the sixth day of creation according to the Genesis creation narrative), used by Africanus, or anno Abrahami ("in the year of Abraham") beginning 3,412 years after Creation according to the Septuagint, used by Eusebius of Caesarea, all of which assigned "one" to the year beginning at Creation, or the creation of Adam, or the birth of Abraham, respectively. Bede continued this earlier tradition relative to the AD era.
In chapter II of book I of Ecclesiastical history, Bede stated that Julius Caesar invaded Britain "in the year 693 after the building of Rome, but the sixtieth year before the incarnation of our Lord", while stating in chapter III, "in the year of Rome 798, Claudius" also invaded Britain and "within a very few days … concluded the war in … the fortysixth [year] from the incarnation of our Lord".[2] Although both dates are wrong, they are sufficient to conclude that Bede did not include a year zero between BC and AD: 798 − 693 + 1 (because the years are inclusive) = 106, but 60 + 46 = 106, which leaves no room for a year zero. The modern English term "before Christ" (BC) is only a rough equivalent, not a direct translation, of Bede's Latin phrase ante incarnationis dominicae tempus ("before the time of the lord's incarnation"), which was itself never abbreviated. Bede's singular use of 'BC' continued to be used sporadically throughout the Middle Ages.
Bede did not use a year zero because he did not know about the number zero. The Arabic numeral for zero (0) did not enter Europe until the eleventh century, and Roman numerals had no symbol for zero. Wherever a modern zero would have been used, Bede and Dionysius Exiguus did use Latin number words, or the word nulla (meaning "nothing") alongside Roman numerals.[1][3][4] The Babylonian system of the BC era had also used the idea of "nothingness" without considering it a number.
The anno Domini nomenclature was not widely used in Western Europe until the 9th century, and the 1 January to 31 December historical year was not uniform throughout Western Europe until 1752. The first extensive use (hundreds of times) of 'BC' occurred in Fasciculus Temporum by Werner Rolevinck in 1474, alongside years of the world (anno mundi).[5] The terms anno Domini, Dionysian era, Christian era, vulgar era, and common era were used interchangeably between the Renaissance and the 19th century, at least in Latin. But vulgar era was suppressed in English at the beginning of the 20th century after vulgar acquired the meaning of "offensively coarse", replacing its original meaning of "common" or "ordinary". Consequently, historians regard all these eras as equal.
Historians have never included a year zero. This means that between, for example, 1 January 500 BC and 1 January AD 500, there are 999 years: 500 years BC, and 499 years AD preceding 500. In common usage anno Domini 1 is preceded by the year 1 BC, without an intervening year zero.[6] Thus the year 2006 actually signifies "the 2006th year". Neither the choice of calendar system (whether Julian or Gregorian) nor the era (Anno Domini or Common Era) determines whether a year zero will be used. If writers do not use the convention of their group (historians or astronomers), they must explicitly state whether they include a year 0 in their count of years, otherwise their historical dates will be misunderstood.[7]
To simplify calculations, astronomers have used a defined leap year zero equal to 1 BC of the traditional Christian era since the 17th century. Modern astronomers do not use years for intervals because years do not distinguish between common years and leap years, causing the resulting interval to be inaccurate.
In astronomy, the numbering of all years labeled Anno Domini remain unchanged. However, the numerical value of years labeled Before Christ are reduced by one by the insertion of a year 0 before 1 AD. Thus, astronomical BC years and historical BC years are not equivalent. To avoid this confusion, modern astronomers label years as positive or negative, instead of BC or AD.
The current method was created by Jacques Cassini, who explained:
The year 0 is that in which one supposes that Jesus Christ was born, which several chronologists mark 1 before the birth of Jesus Christ and which we marked 0, so that the sum of the years before and after Jesus Christ gives the interval which is between these years, and where numbers divisible by 4 mark the leap years as so many before or after Jesus Christ.
—Jacques Cassini, Tables astronomiques, 5, translated from French
In this quote, Cassini used "year" as both a calendar year and as an instant before a year. He identified the calendar year 0 as the year during which Jesus Christ was born (on the traditional date of 25 December), and as calendar leap years divisible by 4 (having an extra day in February). But "the sum of years before and after Jesus Christ" referred to the years between a number of instants at the beginning of those years, including the beginning of year 0, identified by Cassini as "Jesus Christ", virtually identical to Kepler's "Christi". Consider the three instants ('years') labeled 1 avant Jesus-Christ, 0, 1 après Jesus-Christ by Cassini, which modern astronomers would label −1.0, 0.0, +1.0. Cassini specified that his end years must be added, so the interval between the instants (noon 1 January) 1 avant Jesus-Christ and 1 après Jesus-Christ is 1 + 1 = 2, but modern astronomers would subtract their 'years', +1.0 − (−1.0) = 2.0, which agrees with Cassini. The calendar years between these two instants would be 2 BC and 1 BC, leaving the calendar year 1 AD beginning at +1.0 outside the interval.
Astronomical notation
Astronomers use year numbers not only to identify a calendar year (when placed alongside a month and a day number) but also to identify a certain instant (known in astronomy as an epoch). To identify an instant, astronomers add a number of fractional decimal digits to the year number, as required for the desired precision: thus J2000.0 designates noon 2000 January 1 (Gregorian), and 1992.5 is exactly 7.5 years of 365.25 days each earlier, which is the instant 1992 July 2.125 (03:00) (Gregorian). Similarly, J1996.25 is 3.75 Julian years before J2000.0, which is the instant 1996 April 1.8125 (19:30), one-quarter of a year after the instant J1996.0 = 1996 January 1.5. In this notation, J0000.0 is noon of −1 December 19 (Julian), and J0001.0 is 18:00 on 0 December 18 (Julian). This astronomical notation is called Julian epoch and was introduced in 1984; before that time, astronomical year numbers with decimal fractions referred to Besselian years and were written without a letter prefix.
During the 19th century astronomers began to change from named eras to numerical signs, with some astronomers using BC/0/AD years while others used −/0/+ years. By the mid 20th century all astronomers were using −/0/+ years. Numerical signs effectively form a new era, reducing the confusion inherent in any date which uses an astronomical year with an era named Before Christ.
History of astronomical usage
In 1849 the English astronomer John Herschel invented Julian dates, which are a sequence of numbered days and fractions thereof since noon 1 January −4712 (4713 BC), which was Julian date 0.0. Julian dates count the days between two instants, automatically accounting for years with different lengths, while allowing for any arbitrary precision by including as many fractional decimal digits as necessary. The modern mathematical astronomer Jean Meeus no longer mentions determining intervals via years, stating:[8]
The astronomical counting of the negative years is the only one suitable for arithmetical purpose. For example, in the historical practice of counting, the rule of divisibility by 4 revealing the Julian leap-years no longer exists; these years are, indeed, 1, 5, 9, 13, ... B.C. In the astronomical sequence, however, these leap-years are called 0, −4, −8, −12 ..., and the rule of divisibility by 4 subsists.
—Jean Meeus, Astronomical algorithms
In 1627 the German astronomer Johannes Kepler first used an astronomical year which was to become year zero in his Rudolphine Tables. He labeled the year Christi and inserted it between years labeled Ante Christum (BC) and Post Christum (AD) on the mean motion pages of the Sun, Moon, and planets.[9] Then in 1702 the French astronomer Philippe de la Hire used a year he labeled Christum 0 at the end of years labeled ante Christum (BC), immediately before years labeled post Christum (AD) on the mean motion pages in his Tabulæ Astronomicæ, thus adding the designation 0 to Kepler's Christi.[10] Finally, in 1740 the French astronomer Jacques Cassini (Cassini II), who is traditionally credited with the invention of year zero,[11] completed the transition in his Tables astronomiques, simply labeling this year 0, which he placed at the end of years labeled avant Jesus-Christ (BC), immediately before years labeled après Jesus-Christ (AD).[12]
ISO 8601:2004 (and previously ISO 8601:2000, but not ISO 8601:1988) explicitly uses astronomical year numbering in its date reference systems. Because it also specifies the use of the proleptic Gregorian calendar for all years before 1582, some readers incorrectly assume that a year zero is also included in that proleptic calendar, but it is not used with the BC/AD era. The "basic" format for year 0 is the four-digit form 0000, which equals the historical year 1 BC. Several "expanded" formats are possible: -0000 and +0000, as well as five- and six-digit versions. Earlier years are also negative four-, five- or six-digit years, which have an absolute value one less than the equivalent BC year, hence -0001 = 2 BC. Because only ISO 646 (7-bit ASCII) characters are allowed by ISO 8601, the minus sign is represented by a hyphen-minus.
South Asian calendars
All eras used with Hindu and Buddhist calendars, such as the Saka era or the Kali Yuga, begin with the year 0. All these calendars use elapsed, expired, or complete years, in contrast with most other calendars which use current years. A complete year had not yet elapsed for any date in the initial year of the epoch, thus the number 1 cannot be used. Instead, during the first year the indication of 0 years (elapsed) is given in order to show that the epoch is less than 1 year old. This is similar to the Western method of stating a person's age – people do not reach age one until one year has elapsed since birth (but their age during the year beginning at birth is specified in months or fractional years, not as age zero). However if ages were specified in years and months, such a person would be said to be, for example, 0 years and 6 months or 0.5 years old. This is analogous to the way time is shown on a 24-hour clock: during the first hour of a day, the time elapsed is 0 hours, n minutes.
Maya historiography
Many Maya historians, but not all, assume (or used to assume) that a year 0 exists in the modern calendar and thus specify that the epoch of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar occurred in 3113 BC rather than 3114 BC. This would require the sequence 1 BC, 0, AD 1 as in early astronomical years.[13]
In the film The Beach, Leonardo DiCaprio's character is, during his mental instability, crazed about the term Year 0.
Year Zero is a theatrical play that highlights the everyday struggles of a Cambodian-American family.[14][15] (See Year Zero (political notion).)
The fictitious theologian Franz Bibfeldt's most famous work relates to the year 0: a 1927 dissertation submission to the University of Worms entitled "The Problem of the Year 0".
Germany, Year Zero is a 1948 film directed by Roberto Rossellini set in post-WWII Germany.
Panic in Year Zero! is a 1962 film directed by and starring Ray Milland about the aftermath of a nuclear attack on Los Angeles.
Tokyo Year Zero is a novel by English author David Peace set in post-WWII Tokyo which depicts the occupation of Japan by the Allied Powers.
The 1985 film Back to the Future shows the date 25 December 0000 on the time circuits display of the DeLorean time machine as a joke and example of choice for witnessing the birth of Christ.
In the Seinfeld episode "The Millennium", Jerry notifies Newman there was no year 0. Since Newman had set up a party for the "Millennium New Year," the party would actually fall on 31 December 2000/1 January 2001, and thus his party will be late and "quite lame". Newman then squawks with frustration.
Year Zero is an album by the industrial rock group Nine Inch Nails, and is a concept album and Alternate Reality Game based on a post-apocalyptic earth.

Why does Luke think that there is something familiar about Dagobah?
When Luke arrives on Dagobah, he says it feels familiar:
LUKE: Still, there's something familiar about this place, like something out of a dream
Why does it seem familiar if he's never been there?

Wad Cheber
tomturtontomturton
I always assumed the comment was meant to refer to his delirious "hallucination" of Obi-Wan telling him to go there. At this point in the flick, we're not meant to know for sure whether or not Luke's experience was real.
– TheIronCheek
Perhaps he was sensing as much a connection to Yoda being present at his birth as Leia remembered their mother being "very beautiful but sad."
– Michael Itzoe
LUKE: Still, there's something familiar about this place, like something out of a dream, or...maybe I'm just going crazy.
Luke has some training in the Force and a lot of untapped potential through his family's strong connection to the Force. Luke was likely sensing something familiar, in a dream-like way, because Dagobah is teeming with life and, like Yoda, has a strong Force energy. It has a connection to the Light and even the Dark Sides of the Force.
This is reinforced later when we see a similar situation when Luke and Yoda are near the cave:
LUKE: There's something not right here. I feel cold... death.
YODA: That place is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is.
Through the Force, Luke is sensing Dagobah's connection to the Force.
RedCaioRedCaio
I'm not sure this is correct... seems like too big of a leap of logic.
This is a possibility. All contained in the script of The Empire Strikes Back
LUKE Still... there's something familiar about this place. I feel like... I don't know...
YODA Feel like what?
LUKE Like we're being watched!
So the familiar feeling could be that he was being watched, or even Yoda's presence. Which sounds strange until.
YODA This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away...
So we know that Yoda used force vision to keep tabs on things. Luke is force sensitive so may have felt this presence, when Yoda is actually next to him watching it would have felt familiar.
Jeremy FrenchJeremy French
YODA: "Strong this planet is with the Force. It is one of the purest places in the galaxy."
Luke feels things. And Yoda was an important element in his father life. So, by coming closer to this Jedi Master, he's coming closer to his father.
Moreover, don't forget about the Force, and about midi-chlorians. According to this site, the Force spoke through the midi-chlorians. We know that the hightest midi-chlorian rate belong to Anakin, and the second to Master Yoda. So, with some genetic magic, Luke has to be very sensible about the Force.
About Dagobah itself, we know that : Hundreds of years before the Clone Wars, the Jedi Minch battled and killed a powerful Bpfasshi Dark Jedi on the planet. The Dark Jedi's energies absorbed into its surroundings, tainting the cave where he was slain with the dark side. The cave where Luke trained himself.
During his first visit to Dagobah, Yoda entered the tainted cave and experienced a powerful vision showing him the extent of the Sith's tightening hold on the galaxy, the impending destruction of the Jedi Order, and the confirmed existence of Darth Sidious.

I know it's petty, but I want to downvote this just because you used midi-chlorians to explain your reasoning.
– Suman Roy
Where is that quote from? It's not from the movie.
It seems to me he was trying to put a name to a vague feeling, and his first guess was wrong.
Watching the scene, he doesn't seem to be speaking like he's sure. He seems to be thinking out loud. He's throwing out guesses as to why he might be feeling what he is feeling. Since no connection between him and Degobah is revealed, I took it to mean he had guessed incorrectly. He is not familiar with the particular place of Yoda's swamp, at least not in any normal way. Any connection he has to the place is through the force.
Jared KJared K
I know that this answer doesn't give a real explanation, but I always believed that it was a note of background that Lucas attempted to give to the original trilogy. I believe that he imagined Luke to be taken there as an infant (eg. to be saved from his father). I think I have heard this theory by other fans, before Ep. 3 was released. However even if Lucas intended Dagobah to have been visited by Luke before his conscious memories, that was not the case in Ep. 3.
It's strange that (as far as I now) no SW author attempted to flesh out Luke's statement in order to explain it.
VoprosnikVoprosnik
Can you provide anything to support your answer? It seems quite speculative.
– Edlothiad
Do we have any evidence that baby Luke never went to Dagobah? For all we know, Obi-Wan could have stopped on Dagobah to refuel or resupply on his way to Tattooine with Luke.
– Robert Columbia
If you check Luke's biographies in Wookieepedia (both Canon and Legends) it seems that, so far, there is no such evidence. Wookieepedia is an unofficial project but the editors are dedicated and meticulously collect every information from officially published works. If an author has explored the possibility of baby Luke on Dagobah, it would show in the article.
– Voprosnik
This may yet be of some use to us.
In a book released in 2009 by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Scholastic Inc., written by Ryder Windham, before Disney bought Star Wars and turned most Canon into Legends, you learn that, as a child on Tatooine, he can always feel when Ben is watching him, but every time he looks, Ben is gone. One day, he even asks his aunt Beru about it and here's an interesting section:
"Is someone seeing me, Aunt Beru?" Luke asked.
Beru Lars was standing in her kitchen, making biscuits. She glanced at the four-year-old boy, her husband's stepbrother's son, who sat on the hard white steps that led up to the dining alcove, and said, "Your aunt Dama will be seeing all of us. She should be here any time now."
Luke frowned. "No. I don't mean Aunt Dama. I mean, is someone watching me?"
Beru smiled. "You're right here with me, so I'm watching you."
The boy shook his head. "No. Not you or Uncle Owen. I mean someone else. Someone I can't see."
Beru almost dropped the spoon she had just picked up. She set the spoon down beside a bowl with a gray mixture in it and tried to keep her voice calm as she asked, "What makes you say that, Luke?"
Luke was holding a small toy landspeeder. As he turned the toy over in his hands, he said, "I just felt like someone else was close by. I thought maybe there was somebody behind me, but when I looked up the steps..." He turned his head to look back toward the dining alcove, then returned his gaze to his aunt. "No one's there."
Beru sighed. "Living far from other folks like we do, it's not unusual to get a bit jumpy. You feel a small shift in the air, or hear a slight noise, and your imagination starts playing tricks on you."
"Really?" Luke said. "But I didn't hear the wind or anything this time."
Beru gripped the edge of the kitchen counter to steady herself. She said, "There's been other times you thought someone else was watching?"
"Sometimes when I play outside," Luke said. "And every time we go into Anchorhead."
Beru stepped away from the counter to kneel down beside Luke. Gripping his upper arms gently, she said, "Luke, this is important. You've never, ever actually seen any man watching you, have you?"
Luke cocked his head sideways as he held his aunt's gaze. "You think it's a man?"
Beru shook her head. "No, sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I meant anyone, any person. You've never noticed anyone?"
Luke shook his head. "No, ma'am."
Star Wars - A New Hope: The Life of Luke Skywalker
The first two pages of chapter 1 pretty much explain why he feels familiar, like something out of a dream. Because he knew what it felt like to be watched as a child, so not feeling that way for so long made it so that when he did feel like he was being watched again, it was like reliving a childhood dream that his aunt and uncle repressed as just "a feeling".

Interesting as it may be, this really appears to be an extended comment on this answer, rather than an answer of its own.
– RDFozz
Incorrect. That guy was saying that it could be a number of things. I had one clear answer. Nothing about Yoda. Just simply stating that the familiar feeling was more than likely the one answer I gave. He knew the feeling of being watched.
– StarWarsFan1977
So, your answer is simply he had the feeling of being watched (by nothing in particular), a feeling he would recognize because he'd been watched before? Sorry, that may be clear to you, but it wasn't clear to me.

KV2 Audio – in conjunction with Irish partners Just Lite - are excited to announce the UK launch of their highly anticipated VHD 5.0 Constant Power Point Source Array. Taking place at Production Park, Wakefield on October 6th KV2 invites all industry professionals and users alike to experience A Bold New Advancement in Concert Sound Reinforcement.
In an event running alongside Production Park's Production Future's networking and Recruitment Market Place event and TPI's Breakthrough Talent Awards running in the evening, the day will offer the opportunity to experience this revolutionary system in an environment mirroring its intended application.
A complete VHD 5.0 System comprising of the VHD5.0 Mid High Module, VHD8.10 Low Mid Expansion Modules and VHD 4.21 Active Subwoofer System can be experienced in two separate slots running between 10:00 - 12:00 and 14:00 - 16:00.
The event follows the first successful UK event which saw the VHD 5.0 system blow away revelers at the 11,000 capacity SSE Arena in Belfast where Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike – awarded the prestigious Number 1 position in DJ Mag Top 100 DJ's Poll – performed their award winning live combination of DJ Sets and crowd-busting MC'ing.
Just Lite – who currently boast one of the largest rental inventories of KV2 Audio equipment – were responsible for full production services at the event and ensured that the UK debut of VHD5.0 went so successfully.
KV2's philosophy has always been to embrace the principles of point source speaker system design to provide optimum sound quality and coverage for applications and audiences of all sizes. The challenge for KV2 in building a large point source system for audiences of 15,000 people plus, was to reproduce the low mid energy that certain line arrays provide whilst maintaining the key benefits of point source technology.
The VHD5.0 Constant Power Point Source System is a true feat of engineering. Over five years in development it brings together the benefits of point source technology to large-scale concert sound reinforcement. The system delivers audio over large areas with clarity and definition simply not achievable from the digitally processed line arrays that are so commonly used today.
Attendance is free and open to all and to register your interest and get further information please contact KV2 Audio's UK office on 01423 816868.

Starting point for new year
Kaohsiung City Ballet founder Chang Hsiu-ru is bringing her best dancers to Taipei tomorrow for the start of a three-city tour of the company's annual Dance Shoe production
By Diane Baker / Staff reporter
Choreographer Chang Ya-ting's Murmur is one of the works in Kaohsiung City Ballet's Dance Shoe 2016 at the Experimental Theater in Taipei tomorrow and Sunday.

Kaohsiung City Ballet (KCB, 高雄城市芭蕾舞團) founder Chang Hsiu-ru (張秀如) has an enviable record as a mentor and cultivator of both dancers and choreographers over her decades-long career, having marked 40 years as a dance teacher last year, while her company is now in its 23rd year.
She is bringing her best dancers to Taipei tomorrow for the start of the company's annual Dance Shoe (點子鞋) production, with the three shows at the Experimental Theater at the start of a three-city tour.
The Dance Shoe productions are aimed at not only providing KCB members with more performing opportunities and the chance to dance under a variety of choreographers, but with giving choreographers born or working in southern Taiwan a platform for their creativity. It had done that and more. Since the first show in 2003, a total of 32 choreographers have created 71 works for the company.
Several now work with other troupes or have founded their own, such as former KCB dancer Yeh Ming-hwa (葉名樺), whose Nordic was performed at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park at the beginning of last month, and who has been collaborating with Horse (驫舞劇場), and Benson Tsai (蔡博丞), whose created more than half-a-dozen works for Dance Shoe shows, founded his B.DANCE (丞舞製作團隊) in 2014 and last year picked up three choreography awards at dance festivals in Europe.
This year's program features five works by choreographers that have been frequent contributors to previous editions. Wang Wei-ming (王維銘), a former Cloud Gate Dance Theatre (雲門舞集) dancer who teaches at Shu-Te University in Kaohsiung, and Wang Kuo-chuan (王國權), who spent 20 years working as a dancer in Europe before returning home, are probably the best known. The other three are Chang Ya-ting (張雅婷); Lai Hung-chung (賴翃中) and Dai Ting-ru (戴鼎如).
What: Dance Shoe 2016
When: Tomorrow at 2:30pm and 7:30pm and Sunday at 2:30pm
Where: Experimental Theater (國家實驗劇場), 21-1 Zhongshan S Rd, Taipei City (台北市中山南路21-1號)
Admission: NT$500 for the Taipei performances, NT$400 for the others; available at NTCH box offices, online at www.artsticket.com.tw or at convenience store ticketing kiosks.
Additional performances: Jan. 23 at 7:30pm and Jan. 24 at 2:30pm at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center's Chihteh Hall (高雄市文化中心至德堂), 67 Wufu 1st Rd, Greater Kaohsiung (高雄市五福一路67號); and Jan. 30 at 2:30pm and 7:30pm at the Tainan Municipal Cultural Center (台南市立台南文化中心國際廳原生劇場) at 332 Zhonghua E Rd, Tainan City (台南市中華東路3段332號)
None of the pieces have been given "official" English titles, so the translations were worked out after some back and forth between the newspaper's translation team and the company.
Wang Wei-ming's piece The Stories They Told (她們在說故事) is set on five dancers and he said that he "stepped aside" in the creation of this piece, functioning more as an observer or co-author and letting the dancers have more of a hand in crafting the work.
Wang Kuo-chuan took Spanish flamenco as the starting point for his new work, Fragments of Madrid (馬德里的片段), a story about a wandering gypsy in which he will partner Ally Yeh (葉麗娟). He is the only choreographer who is also performing in the show.
Chang Ya-ting and Lai are both graduates of Taipei National University of the Arts (國立台北藝術大學) dance department, but their pieces show very different styles and outlooks.
Chang Ya-ting's Murmurs (喃喃) features four dancers and two rather large flower heads. The piece was inspired by the way humans often mutter to themselves — about things they notice, questions they have or the way they are feelings — seemingly innocuous moments, but ones that are not forgotten and that sometimes bloom into something more consequential.
Lai's duet for a man and a woman is entitled Grim Winter (凜凜) and centers on the emptiness and chill or winter and the hopes of the coming of spring.
Dai Ting-ru also created a duet, Waiting (從你的全世界路過), about life or the world passing a person by as they wait for something to happen.
After this weekend's shows in Taipei, the company will return home to perform at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center's Chihteh Hall next weekend and at the Tainan Municipal Cultural Center on Jan. 30.

Social Networks of Corruption in the Vietnamese and Lao Cross-Border Timber Trade
Authors: To, Phuc Xuan; Mahanty, Sango; Dressler, Wolfram
Although corruption is a core issue in discourses on Southeast Asian states and the region's illegal timber trade, its specific meanings, characteristics, and role are poorly understood. Our ethnographic study of corruption and timber trade in the lower Mekong uncovers the relationships, dealings, and networks that enable illegal timber flows. We follow the disputed case of a shipment of high-value timber that originated in Laos and was seized by Vietnamese seaport customs officials in 2011. By examining the actors involved and their efforts to obtain the release of the timber, we reveal the complex and networked nature of relationships from local to national levels that enable illicit rosewood trade from Laos to Vietnam and onward from Vietnamese ports. At the same time, interactions between timber traders and state officials highlight the recursive relationship between 'private' and 'state' actors, and the scope for mobility between these categories. Our analysis challenges the current international and national emphasis on law enforcement as a means to tackle illegal logging. Instead, policy would be better founded on a more holistic and nuanced understanding of the socio-political relationships that characterise and perpetuate corruption across these multiple scales.

Yemen: Pro-Hadi forces get close to Sana'a
August 16, 2015 Jaber Ali
After they pushed the Houthi Movement and its allies from the southern provinces of Aden, Daleh, Lahj and Abyan, pro-Hadi forces took over Shabwa province on Saturday and also made major advances in the city of Taez which has raised hopes that the fall of Sana'a is near.
A military official told AFP news agency that the Houthis were promised a safe passage out of Shabwa if they "withdrew" and "handed over" the province which they did accordingly but the Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi has refuted the claims stating that it was a "tactical withdrawal" due to the factors on the ground.
Salem al-Awlaqi, a political activist in Shabwa said the Houthis "handed over" the province to the Southern Movement, a secessionist group upholding Southern Yemen's independence but currently fighting alongside pro-Hadi forces.
Some analysts think that the successive territorial gains made by the pro-Hadi forces are mainly due to the Houthi Movement withdrawing its forces from the area to Taez where clashes are intense. Unconfirmed military support such as tanks and personnel carriers from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could also be contributing immensely to the advances of the pro-Hadi forces as well as the airstrikes from the coalition forces. Military sources stated that some Yemeni soldiers were trained in Saudi Arabia
President Hadi reportedly encouraged those fighting in Taez as he assured the 35th Brigade commander of the area that "support" will soon come for the city to be "liberated" while the government's Sabanew.net website claimed that the Houthis have already lost several facilities including police and civil defense headquarters.
The fall of Taez, Yemen's third city and gateway to Sana'a, could make Houthi's control of Sana'a very fragile.

Over the last 3 months, close to 8,000 Montanans have pledged to vote to keep public lands in public hands.
The answer is that, because public lands decisions are guided by elected officials, public lands are always on the ballot. Our elected officials are paying attention each and every election to who is voting and who is staying on the sidelines. They know that if they want to continue to hold public office, they have to be responsive to powerful voting blocs. So if we want our elected officials to protect public lands from development, designate new Wilderness, or simply keep them in public ownership, we must demonstrate to them that we are a powerful voting bloc.
We do that by (1) voting in large numbers in every single election and, when we do, (2) identifying ourselves as conservationists.
One easy way to do just that is by signing our pledge to vote to keep public lands in public hands. Not only will it help reaffirm your commitment to vote in this election (in some circumstances, pledgers are more than twice as likely to vote as non-pledgers) but it will help us demonstrate to lawmakers that our supporters from across the state are voting in large numbers.
Our success in defending wild places in the coming months and years depends on conservationists casting ballots this fall. So we encourage you, if you love our public lands and wild places (and we know you do!) to take the pledge and cast a ballot on November 6th.
P.S. If you have questions about your voter registration, absentee ballot, or polling location, check out Montana's My Voter Page, and, remember, even if you're not registered now, you can register up until 8 p.m. on election day!

Navy SEAL From Monroeville Killed in Afghanistan
90.5 WESA | By Pauline Jelinek/Associated Press
Published December 11, 2012 at 12:41 PM EST
A Navy SEAL killed during a weekend rescue mission in Afghanistan was identified by the Pentagon on Monday as Petty Officer 1st Class Nicolas D. Checque of Monroeville, PA.
The 28-year-old died of combat-related injuries, the Defense Department said in a statement that gave no further details of the mission.
Checque was a member of SEAL Team Six, which freed an American doctor abducted by the Taliban. The same team killed Osama bin Laden last year, but it's unclear whether Checque was involved in the bin Laden mission.
Dr. Dilip Joseph of Colorado Springs, Colo., was rescued in eastern Afghanistan, according to officials in Afghanistan. The military said Joseph was an adviser for Colorado Springs-based Morning Star Development and was abducted last week. He was later rescued after intelligence showed he was in imminent danger of injury or possible death.
Joseph's family on Monday extended their condolences to Checque's family. In a statement issued by Morning Star-Development, Joseph's family expressed gratitude for the "soldier's heroism and for the bravery of all involved in the mission."

12.15am: That's all for today, folks!
Day 5 of the 2018 World Cup is in the books, and what a day it has been! Sweden got the ball rolling with a 1-0, VAR-assisted win over South Korea in Group F, before Belgium produced an impressive second-half display to defeat Panama in Group G. Group rivals England then wrapped up the day's action with a dramatic late win over Tunisia.
Looking ahead to Tuesday - Day 6 in Russia - Group H teams complete the first round of group matches as Colombia face Japan and Poland take on Senegal.
Then it's the turn of the hosts once more as they look to follow up their emphatic opening win over Saudi Arabia against an Egypt side who are expected to welcome back their star man Mohamed Salah.
The National's John McAuley is following the Egypt team closely in Russia, so be sure to read his preview looking ahead to Tuesday's showdown.
England looked set for a rampant victory after flying out of the blocks, captain Harry Kane heading home the opener after 11 minutes. For the previous 10 minutes - and the subsequent 24 minutes - England were in total control and should have scored another three of four.
Instead, Tunisia fought their way back in when Ferjani Sassi slotted home a penalty in the 35th minute.
After the break, England went searching for the second goal but the intensity levels dropped and Tunisia held their shape to nullify any potential attacks.
However, just as the game seemed destined for a draw, Kane popped up to head home his second goal of the night to secure all three points for England.
Job done (just) for Gareth Southgate's side, who slot into second in Group G behind Belgium, who earned an emphatic 3-0 win over Panama earlier in the day.
Harry Kane claims his second goal of the night to win it for England in the second minute of injury time! It looked set to be a frustrating night for England as Tunisia did well to pack their defence in the second half, only for Kane to head home with minutes to go.
England certainly deserved this win and relief - as much as celebration - will be the overriding emotion.
One game, one win. It was a bit nervy but manager Gareth Southgate will be satisfied to claim all three points.
England will be scratching their heads, trying to figure out how they are not five or six goals clear at the break. Raheem Sterling and Jesse Lingard in particular have been guilty of wasting good chances.
Harry Kane put England ahead only for England's continued wastefulness to be punished by a Ferjani Sassi penalty.
Tunisia are level from the penalty spot after Kyle Walker's flailing arm is deemed a foul. Ferjani Sassi then steps up to bury the spot kick just our of Jordan Pickford's reach.
Massively against the run of play but Tunisia took their chance.
That's one way to celebrate your first World Cup match as captain! Harry Kane gets England up and running with a close range header in the 11th minute.
It's been an impressive opening 10 minutes for England.
England have made a lightning fast start to this match and had two glaring chances to get off the mark. First Jesse Lingard had his close range effort blocked on the line, before Raheem Sterling got his feet tangled when staring at an open goal.
Will they live to regret those misses? Ten minutes in, still 0-0.
After Sweden's narrow win over South Korea, and Belgium's hammering of Panama, England and Tunisia will close the curtain on the fifth day of the 2018 World Cup.
Before we turn our attention to the last match of the day - England v Tunisia - here are the best photos from Belgium's 3-0 win over Panama.
After a frustrating first half, Belgium came to life after the interval with Dries Mertens setting the tone with a stunning goal minutes into the second half. Romelu Lukaku then made sure of the three points with two fine goals - the first a header from a Kevin De Bruyne cross, the second a fine finish after rushing on to Eden Hazard's through ball.
A second of the game (and tournament) for Romelu Lukaku as Belgium looked to have wrapped up the three points against Panama.
Can the Manchester United man stake his claim for the Golden Boot? He's started well enough!
Belgium in control against Panama as Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku gets his head on the end of Kevin De Bruyne's curling cross.
Much more assured performance from Belgium in this second half. It's going to take something spectacular for Panama to get anything from this match now.
The exact start to the second half Belgium would have wanted as Napoli forward Dries Mertens scores a stunning volley from the edge of the area.
Can Panama respond? Or will Belgium open the floodgates? Still plenty of time in this match.
Frustration for so far Belgium who have had most of the ball and the better chances but nothing to show for their efforts. Panama composed themselves after a wayward opening 10 minutes and have battled well to keep it goalless.
Eden Hazard has been Belgium's brightest player and the Chelsea man will need to produce more of the same in the second half. Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has struggled to dictate the game the way we know he can, while Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku is yet to trouble the Panama defence.
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez will surely be demanding his side up the tempo and intensity in the second half.
Belgium are undoubtedly the more dangerous team but Panama are easing their way into this match after looking lost at sea in the opening 10 minutes.
Half an hour gone, still goalless.
No goals in the opening 10 minutes but it's been all Belgium so far. Eden Hazard looking lively. Dries Mertens with the best chance for Belgium but his rasping effort was palmed away by Panama goalkeeper Jaime Penedo.
With the first round of Group F matches completed, it's time to switch our attentions to Group G as Belgium face Panama at Fisht Olympic Stadium. Kick-off is 7pm (UAE time).
It's almost time to tune in for Belgium v Panama, but before we do, check out Richard Jolly's report from Sweden's narrow but ultimately deserved win over South Korea.
Before we switch our focus to Belgium v Panama, look back on this Group F encounter with a selection of the best photos from the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium. The win puts Sweden level on points with Mexico after their shock win over Germany on Sunday.
Sweden have claimed a deserved win over South Korea, with captain Andreas Granqvist's second half penalty - awarded using VAR - the difference between the two sides. South Korea, led by Tottenham's Son Heung-min, tried to find an opening late on but Sweden held firm to earn all three points in this Group F clash.
Another VAR awarded penalty and there's little dispute in this one as Kim Min-Woo takes down Viktor Claesson. Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist then slots home with ease.
Sweden claim a deserved lead.
The first 10 minutes of the second half see both Sweden and South Korea presented with great chances to break the deadlock. First, Sweden's Emil Forsberg blazes over from 18 yards when he should have hit the target, before Korea's Koo Ja-cheol flashes the side netting.
Then Ola Toivonen's header is blocked by Korea's inspired goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo. If this stays goalless, he's got the man of the match award sown up.
The referee blows for half-time and it remains goalless at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium. No goals but plenty of fouls - the 23 committed in the opening 45 minutes is the most of any game at the 2018 World Cup so far. Sweden have perhaps shaded it but there's still all to play for in this Group F encounter.
Sweden's No 9, leading the line right now against South Korea, will be familiar to UAE football fans following his remarkable debut season for Al Ain. Berg scored 36 goals in 36 appearances, including 25 in 21 matches in the Arabian Gulf League to shoot Al Ain to the title and secure the Golden Boot. His goal in the President's Cup final ensured his side clinched an historic double.
One of life's mysteries is why South American football is so popular in India. Sample this Lionel Messi-loving fan from the eastern state of Bengal who painted his house in Argentina colours ahead of the World Cup.
It is also huge in the southern coastal state of Kerala, which is still football country despite the gradual, inevitable takeover by cricket in recent years.
So why South American footy? One theory is that people listened to and watched Brazil and Argentina play before they did the European teams. On a deeper level, they also seem to identify with South Americans for their flair and the overt expression of their emotions and passions. People still talk about the 1982 Brazil team and the 1986 Argentina side.
Sure, access to the Premier League and the Uefa Champions League is ensuring people's tastes are changing, with the emerging generation getting more interested in club football.
But change is slow. As this tweet illustrates, international football is alive and well. And in India's absence, Brazil and Argentina will do.
Lionel Messi need not feel lonely. Really. Yeah he missed from the penalty spot during Argentina's draw against World Cup debutants Iceland. But as it turns out, our online editor Ian Oxborrow has compiled a list of personalities who have had forgettable moments on the world's biggest stage.
Remember, for instance, Diana Ross's penalty miss to kick off USA 1994? No? Then watch the video below before clicking here to read Oxborrow's list. It's such a fun read.
Serbia's Aleksandar Kolarov had a good day in Samara: he scored a magnificent World Cup goal and was presented with a Lada by the governor.
The Roma defender struck a thunderous second-half free-kick that clinched Serbia a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica on Sunday.
"Kolarov scored a wonderful goal and we gave him a prize -- a certificate for a Lada 4x4," acting governor Dmitry Azarov was quoted as saying by the Izvestia newpaper.
"He was very happy and the entire team celebrated the news."

Given that David Kuhn proposed to his wife Sandra amidst the euphoria that followed Australia's qualification for the 2006 tournament, it is perhaps not too surprising the couple wanted to give their daughter an early taste of World Cup fever.
And so it was on Saturday that toddler Emmy was dressed up in a tiny green and gold replica shirt and joined some 10,000 fans from down under cheering on the Socceroos in their Group C opener against France.

Sweden have every confidence Al Ain striker Marcus Berg and his fellow forwards can fire the team to an opening victory at the World Cup when they take on South Korea on Monday, writes John McAuley.
The Scandinavians, placed in a testing Group F with world champions Germany and Mexico, have found scoring tough going in their most recent matches.However, Sweden captain Andreas Granqvist is backing his side to come good by the time they face Korea at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
Sweden can call upon for the match the in-form Berg, who arrives at the World Cup on the back of a superb debut season for Al Ain. The frontman, who joined the Garden City last summer from Greek side Panathinaikos, scored 36 goals in 36 appearances. In doing so, he finished with the 2017/18 Arabian Gulf League's Golden Boot (25 goals in 21 appearances), while he also stood top of the assists charts.
Berg's bounty ensured Al Ain clinched the UAE championship for the first time in three years. That in itself should be enough to convince Sweden they can turn around their form in front of goal.

Park Ji-sung, considered by many to be South Korea's greatest ever player, tells John McAuley that Sunday's shock result in the Group F opener between Mexico and Germany makes his country's chances of progression to the knockout stages even more difficult.

Paul Pogba has been stripped of France's second goal in their World Cup opener against Australia.
Didier Deschamps's side entered the final 10 minutes of their Group C match at 1-1, with an Antoine Griezmann penalty cancelled out by a spot kick from Mile Jedinak.
The winner for France in Kazan came on 81 minutes, when the Manchester United man got a toe to the ball which looped over Mathew Ryan and across the line before bouncing back out.
But it has now been ruled that Aziz Behich got the final touch and the Bursaspor defender has now been credited with an own goal.
The England football team have a message for their supporters ahead of tonight's game against Tunisia. It might move even the non-fans of the Three Lions.
Action on Day 4 of the World Cup witnessed two upsets, with Germany losing to Mexico 1-0 and Brazil being held to a 1-1 draw by Switzerland. The only result that probably went according to script was Serbia's 1-0 win over Costa Rica.

Today action starts at 4pm with the Group F game between Sweden and South Korea at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium in the western Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod.
Three hours later, Belgium's golden generation - titles favourites this year - will kick off their campaign at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi where they will meet fellow Group G side Panama.
And finally who can ignore the fact England are playing? Gareth Southgate's team will take on yet another North African team competing at the World Cup - Tunisia - in their Group G game at the Volgograd Arena, Volgograd.

Why I Can't See Light at the End of the Tunnel
Here's an email from my inbox:
Arab Governments Attack Web Sites
Saudi Arabia: Threats against the Web site Modern Discussion
Egypt: Blocking masreyat.org
Cairo, 5 March 2006 - The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information(HRinfo)announced today its concern and condemnation of attacks against freedom of expression committed by Arab governments by blocking Web sites calling for freedom of thought and expression.
In less than a week, the Egyptian Web site www.masreyat.org has been blocked in Egypt. In addition, the famous Web site of Modern Discussion, www.rezgar.com, has been facing threats of being sued by a Saudi businessman. The Saudi businessman has threatened to sue three Web sites, Modern Discussion, Elaph, and Dar Alnadwa, under claims that these Web sites write in an unacceptable manner on Muslims.
The threats come at a time when these Web sites are actually blocked in several countries. The Modern Discussion Web site, however, is the most blocked Web site, as it is blocked in Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, and Tunisia. This is because the Web site hosts the writings of many Arab writers and journalists who have found in it a space for freedom of expression, especially in defence of secularism, women's rights, campaigning against capital punishment, and defending other journalists and writers.
"Most Arab governments largely oppress freedom of press and expression," HRinfo Program Coordinator, Sally Sami, said. "Now that the Internet has provided a venue for liberties, Arab governments are seeking to restrict its space by blocking Web sites and terrorising Internet writers and users," she added.
It is worth noting that the Tunisian government, for example, was the fastest to block a Web site. The Tunisian government blocked www.yezzi.org 18 hours after it was launched. It should be noted that the Tunisian government is infamous for blocking many human rights and political Websites.
In Egypt, security authorities have recently been blocking Web sites calling for reform, such as the Save Egypt Front, and Masreyat, in addition to its continuous blocking of the Web sites of the Al-Shaab newspaper and the Al-Amal (labour) party.
The Saudi government, on the other hand, is not satisfied with daily blocking of nearly 200 Web sites. Religious scholars and businessmen affiliated to the Saudi government are starting to launch campaigns against the freedom to use the Internet and the freedom of information exchange.
Religious scholars have issued a fatwa prohibiting women from using the Internet without the presence of a mahram (a close relative they are prohibited to marry). This was followed by a call from Saudi businessmen to sue Web sites that call for freedom of thought and secularism, such as the aforementioned Web sites.
"Amongst the Arab governments violating freedom of expression and exchange of information, we find that the most aggressive are those of Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt," Sami said. "Such behaviour breaches the right of citizens to acquire information and news and deprives them of a variety of sources of information," she added.
And please tell me that the part on banning women from surfing the net on their own is a sad sad joke please :(

I feel the same about the Saudi women and hope it's a joke. Unbelievable really. Can you imagine having to be supervised in such a way?! If this is true, I wonder if there's ever a time when these women feel like they have to 'break free'. I mean, in the States, the daughters of preachers are usually the wildest because they've been held back for so long and not allowed to do things so a lot of them will go a bit crazy when they get into high school or college... but these Saudi women aren't afforded that same freedom. I really hope that this is a lie/joke because the net is the only tool that many of them have to "go crazy", if they want, or to allow their spirits to break free.
Mike C said...
Bahrain has had censorship issues as well, have they not?
"And please tell me that the part on banning women from surfing the net on their own is a sad sad joke please :("
Seems par for the course for KSA.
Mike.. of course we have censorship issues.. Not as much as in the US.. but we still do!!
sume said...
SBG, they issued another fatwah or is this a repeat of the last one?
AbuRasool said...
SBG! This is just to tell you that this is not a tunnle. That is why!AbuRasool
Sume,
No idea .. but the whole fatwa issue is anything but hilarious. I am sure it is a joke. Imagine having to take your father's or husband's permission everytime you surf the net!!
Dr Khalaf,
Yeah.. It isn't a tunnel.. Is an abyss a more befitting description?

Hello Silly:
I have been monitoring your blog for a shortwhile now and I have come to enjoy your fresh wit.
May I share with you a web site that I believe you will find of interest:

Question: What happens when a Shwilly Shawarma-lovin' Saudi Girl gets fast tracked a visa and ends up the roomate of the preachers' daughter at some university???
A.) They form a club to discuss beliefs with groups such as the debate team, the basketball team, the swim team, the girls' basketball team and the track team.
B.) They become business minded, it costs money to run buildings, so they read Forbes Magazine and discuss the facts through endless days and endless nights; economics, product placement, charts, curves.
C.) They form a rock band called "Babes in Toyland" and often sing together. They're friends.
D.) They both explode. ..and become writers.
E.) They become Raelians.
FALCONS said...
Yes the icon of Free Speech is important and we all know that or should know that.
We're also surely aware that our dyed in the wool liberal sisters and brothers fight in the trenches under the banner du/for "Free Speech."
This is often overlooked as just blind faith, adopted in the liberal university atmosphere, and snubbed by RightWingers who mock such as terminal adolescence. This could be sellin' the premise short, really short, like a pizza delivered to the door, a day late.
Make note to the "Piss Christ" 'art' display of recent years. As a former student, of the Renaissance, I understand the motivation of leather whips held like a tail in the tail. And all art is kind of political, isn't it, if you think about it and look at it? It's right there in front of you, when viewing, read the intent, the motivation, the moment in time, the symbols that reveal the artists' minde.
Of course the intent, concious and never unconcious, was to defend speech, Free speech, that is.. It has to be defended! Not pissed on. At all cost. Else we degrade into madness, stupidity and dread habits of behavior.
Art elevates. Other things, totalitarian, mechanical, drag us down, abuse us, even when we don't realize it; we can be overcome! It's the abyss around the edges and sometimes, more so than other times, in time, we get taken so -we must be vigilant and patient-.
The future, very very long, very creative, very wonderful, depends on our foresight and preparation now! Else it's the fall of Rome every semester if we don't, if they don't, defend free speech and rights, rights, Rights!
Soo many wonderful things actually do come from such exhibitions. You can feel it, even if you can't see it, and if you don't know the genre, your instincts must notice something.. Just imagine the thoughts that follow such heady exhibitions, and then the dreams, even the following night. It's fun to view and see where the mind wanders regardless of important issues symboled in the a rt.
This is what the Left is all about; Egalitarian society for all! The ultimate goal, for some, as history shows and exhibitions show. They're dedicated, and busy always.
Silmply Simply put; In the World, Free Speech is important! Those lips must keep moving and moving else we'll be oppressed by something very oppresssing. Those lips, must move..
Makes sense, doesn't it?
Balushi said...
who knows that case of a us soldier to picked up a teenage girl from internet and took her to another country?
I think we misunderstood the religious guy! Little kids and girls should be supervised on the net they are more vulnerable then anywhereelse
sleepyniece said...
I heard that story quite some time ago. I can't remember where the two met up but that girl was quite young.
Now if she was just alittle bit older...
Jack.alarmstrong said: "Question: What happens when a Shwilly Shawarma-lovin' Saudi Girl gets fast tracked a visa and ends up the roomate of the preachers' daughter at some university???"
My answer: You both prob become strippers! or folk singers who take off your clothes to gain worldwide recognition. Just like bin laden's niece.
Tooners;
That sounds like the making of a great novel to be followed by a even better movie. Kind of a new twist on Thelma and Louise. The two go on a national "Strip Club" tour around the states playing to PACKED crowds of extra horny men! I say start writing NOW!
Now don't think for one minute that I fell for that paprika (sp?) deception pulled by wafah!!! She's still an unruly Arab whether posing half naked on silk sheets with feathers and heels or not! She sure sends a message though...
Ya godda give her credit for tryin'..
SoupduJourandMore said...
I swear my first thought was that the shawarma loving girls would end up strippers. Whaaaa a f------ coincidence!
Damn it, the time again, I'll have more to say alittle later. It would make interesting reading though, that being this story of oppressed, desperate, steamed, crazed, insatiable, busy women who end up up naked in front of crowds of equally desperate men. Who would cook the food?
It must happen all the time but the writers are always so pc that the films never burn hot enough.
Back soon for more..

What is "unruly" about Miss Dufour posing seductively unlike that trashy Madonna would wear a cardboard box at a bad tranny festival and think she was hip!?!
The Lovely Ms. Dufour is a professional and not a hypemaster. Let's set the record straight. Or spin it straight. Or spin it in a circle. Endless circles. Spinning, vibrating ...
Anyway; Offense taken!
MadSheik
If your looking for a novel to write this could be it!
Haitham Salman said...
I actually happen to read this Fatwa or more correctly "Faswa"
«أصدر الشيخان السعوديان عثمان الخميس وسعد الغامدي، فتوى تحرم الانترنت على المرأة،"
and to add insult to injury
«بسبب خبث طويتها». وأضافت الفتوى «لا يجوز للمرأة فتح الانترنت، إلا بحضور محرم مدرك لعهر المرأة ومكرها»!
So it is not enough to have "mohram" but it has to be a "mohram" who is an expert in the deceptive and sexually corrupt nature of the women!
I am just speachless!
Haitham
I get it Falcons. Even when people 'ave ~free speech it doesn't mean the speeches are anything worthwhile.
That teacher was just suspended for reworking that tired leftist dull drab comparison to the US Administration and Nazi Germ'.
You can be sure that guy can find nothing good about the US. He's a classic anarchist product of leftwing faculties. He probably does the same thing, in that silly world 'tween his ears, which is: he gives high grades to students who act interested in his lame, years late on war-war-election, crying and moaning.
Yet he'll claim he was stimulating students and/or exercising free speech.
He's really just oppressing the working class students by condemning the country.
Free Speech ain't free! And neither is a lack of it!
silly silly willy nilly
Just read at Defamer.com that Dufour is going to star in her own reality TV series! It'll be based on her life. Aaaaahhhhh, that 5 mins. of fame is almost up... so now she's grabbing the horse by its saddles.... or maybe she already has! ;) Somebody please shoot me.
Hmmmm, tooners, honey.. are you hinting as something..
ARE YOU A JEALOUS GIRL POSING AS A SMART ASS!
Wafah is a lovely girl and quite demure no doubt. These scurilous accusations can only bring all of us down into the gutter of debauchery. We'll be stuck with sordid sordid sordid thoughts while amongst ourselves..
What channel?
Prup (aka Jim Benton) said...
Without getting into the side issues -- but yes, the niece of Bin Laden IS supposed to be getting her own reality show -- the comments about needing a mahram man around before surfing the internet are not surprising to me. After all, we are talking Wahabis here. (If you have never checked it out, you should look in on the following site:
http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng
where Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Munajjid tells you more about (Wahabi) Islam than you really wanted to know.
This is a site which tells you that you should not, if possible, ride on public transport with women
"For men to mix with women on public transport, at work or in school is haraam, because it leads to great evils as is obvious."
And that if you HAVE to:
If a person has no other choice but to travel on mixed public transport, then he must fear Allaah as much as he can, lower his gaze and not look at haraam things, and avoid sitting beside women as much as he can, even if that means standing, seeking thereby to please Allaah and avoid the fitnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned against: "Beware of women, for the first fitnah among the Children of Israel was because of women." Narrated by Muslim (2742).
And he said: "I have not left behind me any fitnah more harmful to men than women." Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5096)and Muslim (2742).
A person can avoid this by changing his seat and so on."
And if you can't do that:
"If a person has no choice but to use public transit and he cannot change his place or change vehicles, and he cannot stand because that is even more crowded and brings even more contact with women, then there is no sin on him in that case if he sits next to a woman, so long as he keeps away from her as much as possible.
If he fears fitnah for himself and the shaytaan starts to whisper to him and divert his thoughts, then he must get off as soon as he can, no matter how late that may make him for work or school, because there is nothing more precious to a man than his religious commitment, so he must protect it. "
And this was just the first question I found at random.
There is also a question about whether excessive laughter is forbidden. (No surprise, it is.)
It was the "Muslim-refusenik" site mentioned above, which I also recommend, who took me to this site that can violate the last rule I mentioned, if your reaction is hilarity rather than tears.
Definitely check the site out, and also ISIS (The Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society).
Two final comments for all you Internet users out there, because our Mad Sheik has discussed the Internet as well.
"There is nothing wrong with corresponding with your fiancée in order to agree on matters to do with the wedding, if that is done with the knowledge and supervision of her parents, and it is free of any expressions of love that are not permissible between a man and a non-mahram woman. It is well known that the man is a "stranger" (non-mahram) to his fiancée until the marriage contract is done.
It makes no difference whether this correspondence is done via e-mail or regular mail, or over the telephone, but it is better if the correspondence and conversation is with her guardian only."
"There is nothing wrong with a Muslim woman making use of the internet and entering the Paltalk website for that purpose, so long as that does not lead to anything that is forbidden in Islam, such as talking privately with men. That is because talking to men may turn into chat which usually leads temptation. Hence it is essential to be strict and avoid that, seeking the pleasure of Allaah and fearing His punishment.
How often have these conversations lead to bad results, and even caused people to fall in love, and have led some to do things that are even more serious than that. The Shaytaan makes each of them imagine attractive qualities in other, which leads them to develop an attachment that detrimental to their spiritual welfare and worldly affairs.
Sharee'ah blocks all the ways that may lead to fitnah (temptation, trial), hence it forbids softness of speech and does not allow a man to be alone with a non-mahram woman. Undoubtedly these private chats are not regarded as khulwah in the sense that he people involved cannot see one another, but they are one of the greatest causes of fitnah as is well known.
Fear Allaah, and do not speak to non-mahram men. This is safer for your religious commitment and purer for your heart. "
And one last advice for students:
"It is not permissible for a woman to work or study in a mixed university, because of the evils and haraam things that result from that, as is obvious to everyone.
It is not permissible for a woman to study or work in a place where there is mixing between men and women, and it is not permissible for her guardian to give her permission to do that. End quote.
There is no obligation to obey one's parents with regard to studying in a mixed environment, because there is no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience towards the Creator. The Prophet
But if a woman has the misfortune to be studying in a mixed university, she should reduce the evil as much as she can, so she should not debate with men or allow any opportunity to speak to her or get to know her, even if that leads to her getting lower grades. Warding off evil takes precedence over seeking benefits. She should also cover herself fully, so that not even her face and hands can be seen, and attend as little as possible, until Allaah grants her a way out. "
Bravecat said...
Overall, degrading and debilitating. Seek my husband's permission to use internet? Gosh luckily I am not a Saudi Muslim girl!!
Jihad said...
Not only is this alleged Fatwa nonexistant, but it reeks of provocation.
First, there is no source cited for this fatwa.
Second, the text quoted by Haitham can only be traced back to a headline published in the Al-Qabas newspaper in late 2004. No such fatwa can be found however.
Third, the text quoted by Haitham can only come from a sick moron. It goes against everything that Islamic, logical, or not retarded.
Fourth, the text quoted by Haitham ascribes the Fatwa to shaikh Othman Alkhamees. If it were true, it would have been on his website. On the contrary, he rejects ever having said anything like that. His response from his official website at:

You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up: Pete Buttigieg Won Essay Contest in High School Defending Socialism and Hero Bernie Sanders
Published February 11, 2020 at 10:17am
Young Pete Buttigieg won an essay contest in 2000 as a high schooler from the Kennedy Library.
In his essay Pete Buttigieg in 2000 praises Bernie Sanders and his unapologetic stand for socialism.
You just can't make this stuff up.
From the essay.
Fortunately for the political process, there remain a number of committed individuals who are steadfast enough in their beliefs to run for office to benefit their fellow Americans. Such people are willing to eschew political and personal comfort and convenience because they believe they can make a difference. One outstanding and inspiring example of such integrity is the country's only Independent Congressman, Vermont's Bernie Sanders.
Sanders' courage is evident in the first word he uses to describe himself: "Socialist". In a country where Communism is still the dirtiest of ideological dirty words, in a climate where even liberalism is considered radical, and Socialism is immediately and perhaps willfully confused with Communism, a politician dares to call himself a socialist? He does indeed. Here is someone who has "looked into his own soul" and expressed an ideology, the endorsement of which, in today's political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Even though he has lived through a time in which an admitted socialist could not act in a film, let alone hold a Congressional seat, Sanders is not afraid to be candid about his political persuasion.
After numerous political defeats in his traditionally Republican state, Sanders won the office of mayor of Burlington by ten votes. A successful and popular mayor, he went on to win Vermont's one Congressional seat in 1990. Since then, he has taken many courageous and politically risky stands on issues facing the nation. He has come under fire from various conservative religious groups because of his support for same-sex marriages. His stance on gun control led to NRA-organized media campaigns against him. Sanders has also shown creativity in organizing drug-shopping trips to Canada for senior citizens to call attention to inflated drug prices in the United States.
While impressive, Sanders' candor does not itself represent political courage. The nation is teeming with outspoken radicals in one form or another. Most are sooner called crazy than courageous. It is the second half of Sanders' political role that puts the first half into perspective: he is a powerful force for conciliation and bi-partisanship on Capitol Hill. In Profiles in Courage, John F. Kennedy wrote that "we should not be too hasty in condemning all compromise as bad morals. For politics and legislation are not matters for inflexible principles or unattainable ideals." It may seem strange that someone so steadfast in his principles has a reputation as a peacemaker between divided forces in Washington, but this is what makes Sanders truly remarkable. He represents President Kennedy's ideal of "compromises of issues, not of principles."
Sanders has used his unique position as the lone Independent Congressman to help Democrats and Republicans force hearings on the internal structure of the International Monetary Fund, which he sees as excessively powerful and unaccountable. He also succeeded in quietly persuading reluctant Republicans and President Clinton to ban the import of products made by under-age workers. Sanders drew some criticism from the far left when he chose to grudgingly endorse President Clinton's bids for election and re-election as President. Sanders explained that while he disagreed with many of Clinton's centrist policies, he felt that he was the best option for America's working class.
Sanders' positions on many difficult issues are commendable, but his real impact has been as a reaction to the cynical climate which threatens the effectiveness of the democratic system. His energy, candor, conviction, and ability to bring people together stand against the current of opportunism, moral compromise, and partisanship which runs rampant on the American political scene. He and few others like him have the power to restore principle and leadership in Congress and to win back the faith of a voting public weary and wary of political opportunism. Above all, I commend Bernie Sanders for giving me an answer to those who say American young people see politics as a cesspool of corruption, beyond redemption. I have heard that no sensible young person today would want to give his or her life to public service. I can personally assure you this is untrue.
For his screed on socialist Bernie Sanders young Pete won the Kennedy award which leaves us with this time-tested truth: Scratch a liberal find a committed socialist.
