Can contemporary reading methods catch up with the proliferation of and innovation in multilingual Arab literatures in ways that help combat ossified and misleading labels like "the Middle East" and "the Arab world"? The definition of "reader" should be widened to include anyone invested in reading Arab and Arabic texts.
Arab literatures have diversified to an extent that demands a concomitant evolution, if not revolution, of reading practices. A more nuanced and inclusive approach to studying, translating, anthologizing, publishing, and teaching is needed to help counteract orientalizing tendencies that persist in the marketing of literatures from and about the Arab region as well as in mainstream news media. A collective effort toward an objective, fair, and comparative "representation" of Arab literatures would reveal complex realities not only between but also within so-called Arab versus Western entities.
Reading and Writing Arab Literatures
AS WAÏL HASSAN points out in his introduction to The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions (2017), writing by Arab authors is now a global phenomenon on all six continents: outside of the twenty-two Arab League member nations, the Arabic-language novel is also produced in Chad, Eritrea, Mali, Nigeria, and Senegal as well as in Western countries (e.g., Lebanese authors Hanan al-Shaykh in London and Hoda Barakat in Paris). Not only are some Arabic-language novelists translated into numerous languages, a problematic topic to which I will return, but many Arab novelists also write in at least eleven languages: Arabic, Catalan, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. Some of these authors write in foreign languages while based in Arab countries (e.g., anglophone Lebanese Australian novelist Nada Awar Jarrar, based in Beirut). This expansive multilingual literary field makes Arab novelistic traditions, as Hassan argues, an "inherently and internally comparative field of study." He concludes that "Arab literary production has outgrown the pedagogical and institutional structures organizing literary studies (single-language departments such as Arabic, English, French, and so on; language families like Semitic, Romance, Germanic; and area studies such as Middle or Near Eastern languages), and it can help us imagine new patterns of comparison and configurations of knowledge." In short, examinations of Arab literatures should move beyond narrow and at times artificial linguistic, geographical, and disciplinary borders in order to keep pace with these literatures.
In a similar vein, Reuven Snir notes that "whether the Arab Spring is considered to have failed or not, it continues to produce various literary experimental manifestations which will certainly change the face of Arabic literature" (Modern Arabic Literature, 2017). Two possibilities, he opines, would further diversify this corpus. First, if Islam loses its dominant cultural, if not political, role, the development of independent Arabic literatures may accelerate. Second, should local dialects become normalized in literary writings at the expense of modern standard Arabic, the variety would skyrocket. Furthermore, he clarifies that the "internet has become a virtual library for billions of Arabic literary texts housed on millions of websites." Snir encourages scholars to carry out research on the literatures now available online and in social media, concluding that "Arabic literature is now in another place, but its scholarship needs time to adapt to the dramatic change it has undergone." Examining online publishing and self-publishing—an underexplored realm—would shed light on fresh voices and styles, thus complementing and enriching our understanding of literatures in print. Claire Gallien also advises that we need "to rethink Anglo-Arab literatures outside the box" in order to combat lingering perceptions of such texts as purveyors of more or less ethnographic information about the Muslim/Arab Other in the wake of 9/11 or as exotic elements to satisfy an unabated desire for exaggerated cultural differences.[i]
Depth notwithstanding, many academic readings have remained shortsighted. According to Hassan, both disciplinary and institutional barriers have created a split between Arabic-language and foreign-tongue Arab writings, for example, between arabo- and francophone novels from Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania. For many, Arabic-language works are still considered part of Arabic studies, while French-language texts continue to be perceived as part of francophone studies. This skewed perception results in works in the two languages "rarely, if ever, studied together." Worse still, this linguistic split "replicates the binary division of colonial space between colonizer and colonized." Similarly, he states that studies of early Arab mahjar (immigrant) literature have focused only on those who write in Arabic, disregarding the output of Arab writers in other languages. Arab novelists writing in other languages tend to fall between the "disciplinary cracks." Fortunately, recent studies have begun to counteract these trends, whether by stressing the Arabness of foreign-language texts geographically, linguistically, thematically, and generationally or by comparing multilingual texts tied to a particular Arab country or to original versus host countries in a diasporic context.[ii] Critical of disciplinary blind spots, Jumana Bayeh argues that Middle East scholars have often remained, almost myopically, trained "upon a single spot on the map," thus marginalizing the histories of Middle East migrations, whether into or out of the region.[iii] Fueling this fixation, I would add, is insufficient interdisciplinary and/or interlingual collaboration between Euro-American and Arab or Middle Eastern scholars.
Translating Arab Literatures in the West
ADDITIONALLY, THREE PRACTICES in the Western publishing industry still contribute, at least on occasion, to a biased perception of Muslims and Arabs in the West. First, translation of Arabic texts occupies a very small share, with sociopolitical agendas and market forces choosing which Arabic texts get translated. In turn, it has been shown how translators may further subject such texts to a "process of selective appropriation" that manipulates, or "whitewashes," the content in order to make it palatable to and/or simpler for Anglo-American readers.[iv] Regrettably, Arabic texts deemed too complex or experimental remain largely unknown. For example, The Yacoubian Building, translated in the wake of 9/11, "was promoted as providing an interpretation of terrorism: corruption, oppression, injustice and Islamic sensibilities, combined, are finally made to produce a terrorist. . . . Western readers are invited by the translator, reviewers, publishers and by their very preconceptions to receive the book as an ethnographic report on Arab Others."[v]
As Alameddine sees it, ethnic authors who make it in the West are perceived to be the "purveyors of comforting myths for a small segment of the dominant culture that would like to see itself as open-minded."
Second, commercial reviews, understandably motivated by concerns for profit, contribute to the exoticization of cultural differences. For example, Lebanese American Rabih Alameddine, translated into over forty languages, writes: "Whenever I read reviews of my work, I notice that I am still the tour guide," adding that, in a New York Times review, one of his novels was called a "bridge to the Arab soul."[vi] In a world with over 450 million Arabs who belong to multiple religions, sects, ethnicities, and languages, such a characterization is not only "discomfiting," to use Alameddine's own description, but also vacuous. As he sees it, ethnic authors who make it in the West are perceived to be the "purveyors of comforting myths for a small segment of the dominant culture that would like to see itself as open-minded." Put another way, "there is more other, scarier other, translated other, untranslatable other, the utterly strange other, the other who can't stand you. Those of us allowed to speak are the tip of the iceberg. We are the cute other." When translations become more inclusive and marketing more nuanced, a more complete picture of the Arab world will emerge.
Finally, anthologizing translated Arabic texts and thus admitting them to world literature, albeit a very welcome act, is still fraught with problems. Until now, much of the granularity in Arabic literatures is lost "once it is examined through the vantage point of world literature: major figures are unnoticed, significant specificities unaccounted for, and essential trajectories unheard of."[vii] Thus, ironically, instead of making visible a whole tradition or at least coherent segments thereof, oftentimes world literature anthologies help uphold stereotypes. A wider-ranging and historically minded approach would remedy this problem in the long run.

IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, changes in direction, scope, and rationale in studies of Arab literature have emerged, but more needs to be done. As Hassan explains in his introduction, by emphasizing the development of the Arabic novel within the framework of the nation-state, five levels of tradition become apparent: the subnational (minorities and subregions), the national, the supranational region (countries of the Maghreb, the Levant, and the Gulf), the pan-Arab (a broader supranational grouping), and the transnational (Arabic literature as part of larger categories, for example North African, West Asian, Middle Eastern, postcolonial, or world literature). The nation-state, as he points out, might be taken as a starting point but not as a horizon. By focusing on the subnational, so far the least studied, a more complex and therefore more accurate body of knowledge would be produced. In a similar vein, Bayeh proposes a diasporic reading method in order to cast doubt over the Middle East or the Arab world as a "demarcated region," thus enabling the discovery of crisscross lines that connect various communities. Understanding this region as what she calls a "diasporic cartography" would expose it as a "set of networks holding together people and things, places and practices."
As Ulrich Beck and Natan Sznaider have argued, the twenty-first century has witnessed a global transformation of modernity that calls for a reconceptualization of the humanities and social sciences.[viii] Arab studies, too, should join the movement away from binary analytical methods, such as East-West, national-transnational, and especially colonial-postcolonial. Although Arab literatures have made a long-overdue entry into the twenty-first-century literary canon, the relatively simplistic East-West dichotomy inherited from Orientalism remains at the heart of the postcolonial paradigm.[ix]

Collaboration between arabophone and a diverse range of scholars would help create a much more dynamic view of the Arab world. In addition to joint academic projects, translators from Arabic need to assert the translatability of Arabic (i.e., to show that it is not a controversial language, as many still claim it is),[x] by striving toward a more comprehensive and therefore a more representative coverage of Arabic literature. Writers, too, should write for excellence and not as cultural translators or mediators, as many still do in the so-called Third World, according to Anjali Pandey. Alameddine stresses the need for authors' intellectual independence thus: "I write because I have something to say to me." He adds, "When I am put on a panel to represent the Arab world, it frightens me."[xi]
Beyond Geopolitical Labels
BOTH INTELLECTUAL open-mindedness and an ethical engagement with Arab literary traditions can go a long way in combating mainstream news media and the popular sphere where Arabness is more often than not reduced to the lexicon of sectarianism, religiously inspired violence, and female subjugation.[xii] Western interest in the Arab world since 9/11, intensified in the wake of the 2011 Arab Spring, requires an appropriate and measured response from those "in the field." Contemporary Arab literatures continue to redefine their sense of contemporary realities. In Arab studies, scholars, translators, editors, publishers, teachers, and students need to catch up with these new developments by adopting, as some have begun to do, a pluralistic historiography governed by a search for a poetics and politics of movement in order to multiply the axes of comparison. If all these groups were to read and therefore re-present multilingual Arab literatures comparatively and conscientiously, then slowly but surely the body of knowledge produced would reach the general Western reader, who will, in turn, begin to perceive, and correctly so, the Middle East, MENA (the Middle East and North Africa), or the Arab world as no more than geopolitical labels that mask, if not occlude, much more intricate histories, experiences, and sensibilities. Only then would personal and collective Arab identities appear as they truly are: not bordered but open, intersectional, contingent—and therefore in flux and in a state of continual self-fashioning.

Q: Как в этом коде, сделать так, что бы при вводе отрицательного числа выводилось не "сколько минут вы были в душе", а любое другое сообщение? int main(void)
{
    int water = 0;
    {
        do
         {
            printf("Сколько минут вы были в душе?\n");
            scanf("%d", &water);
         }
        while (water <= 0);
         {
            int бутылки = water*12;
            printf("Вы потратили %i бутылок воды!\n", бутылки);
         }
     }
}

A: Например, ваш printf внутри do { ... } while можно немного модифицировать
printf("%s%s\n", water ? "нормально отвечайте на вопрос -- " : "", "Сколько минут вы были в душе?");

Первый раз (при water = 0) увидите
Сколько минут вы были в душе?

а при вводе отрицательного числа вас немного подтолкнут в нужном направлении.

Конечно, возвращаемый scanf результат (при вводе числа это 1, при конце ввода (на клавиатуре нажали ^D(или ^Z в винде)) будет EOF, а если ввели не число, то 0), обязательно надо проверить и адекватно обработать.

A: Соглашусь с комментариями - чем вам if не угодил?
И код меньше ->
int main(void)
{
    int time;
    std::cout <<"Сколько минут вы были в душе?\n";
    std::cin >> time;
    if(time >= 0)
        std::cout << "Вы потратили " << time * 12 << " буты(лок/ки) воды!\n";
    else
        std::cout << "Вы экономите воду! +" << time * -12 << " бутылок воды!\n";

}

A: Разобрался. Теперь код выглядит так:
    int main(void)
   {
   int water = 0;
    printf("Сколько минут вы были в душе?\n");
    scanf("%d", &water);
    while (water <= 0)
    {
        printf("Грязный лжец! Сколько минут ты был в душе?\n");
        scanf("%d", &water);
    }
    int bot = water*12;
    printf("Вы потратили %i бутылок воды!\n", bot);
}

So I have a question for you. Why do we Indians try to take advantage of other Indians? Why do we sit and try to negotiate, bargain, haggle, or whatever you call it? Do we not realize that we are harming someone else's livelihood?
One example of this is when we go into the stores on Pioneer Blvd. We go in with the belief that we need to bargain down the prices. But what about the people whose shop it is? Why do we think it's acceptable for us to lower the price they want to charge? We wouldn't go into Target or Nordstrom's and consider this acceptable behavior. If we don't like the prices, why don't we just walk away from the product being sold like we would in a non-Indian store?
The thing is that I see this affect other industries as well. And I have watched people not wanting to do business with someone who is going to bargain on pricing. If others can pay it, why can't they? It's usually not something that these people can't afford. They just want to be able to say they got the price lowered. If they really can't afford it, they should look for something they can afford. I don't try to buy a Mercedes when I can only afford a Honda.
Once someone tries to bargain down to the dollar, the business owner loses motivation to really want to do a good job since it was so much stress to even get to the point of a contract. I have seen that if someone doesn't put up a fight over every little price point, the business owner will go above and beyond what they were required to do because they don't feel stifled by the client to start with. The client usually ends up getting so much more than they were expecting to start with.
One other thing I've learned is we could sit there and bargain but why would we want to hurt someone's business, especially of someone we think does a great job in their industry? I understand we want to save money but again, then we should be looking for something within our budget to start with.
Bargaining isn't a good look on anyone. And to be honest, I'm glad those shop owners in Cerritos are putting up signs that show they aren't willing to bargain anymore. They work just as hard as anyone else. They should get what they work for.
Those shop owners do exactly same in our office or worse, they expect us to treat them free.

ACT TWO: WRITE A BOOK
A local art lover fulfills her dream of owning a gallery
STORY: H.M. Cauley
Katie Jones isn't waiting for a midlife crisis or fate to take hold to do what she's always dreamed about. Instead, the recent Birmingham-Southern College graduate has leapt body and soul into one of the toughest jobs in town: art gallery curator.
Atlanta has a wealth of destination galleries—and a list almost as long of those that didn't make it. But Jones is determined to put her youthful energy into making Buckhead Art & Company a fixture on the town's art scene.
"Owning my own gallery was a life goal, and people might think it's crazy to jump into it right out of school," says the Roswell native who recently moved down the street from the gallery, which is located in The Shops Buckhead Atlanta. "And it's really pushed me in every way—physically, emotionally and spiritually."
After graduating last spring, Jones didn't envision a way to put her degree in art and business to good use. "Over the Christmas break my senior year, I had interned for [Buckhead artist] Hutton Snellings, the previous owner of Buckhead Art & Company, and we talked about my working for her after graduation, but that fell through," says Jones. Instead, she went into software sales and pitched in at the gallery on weekends. So when Snellings said, "I have a 2-year-old, and I really want to be painting," the idea of Jones taking over the space began to take shape. "She told me I was the only person who cared about it as much as she did," says Jones. "So I left my [software] job, emptied my bank account and jumped right in."
Her dad jumped in, too, providing a loan to buy the gallery that Jones is slowly paying off. "He told me he knew doing this was more important than paying for a wedding," she says.
Now, Jones oversees the 3,380-square-foot space that features works from more than 30 artists whose work is hard to typecast. "There's power in having multiple styles; there's something for everyone when they walk in, from paper pieces at $45 to collectors' pieces and fine art at $25,000," she says. "There's photography, abstracts, mixed media. Most of the artists are from the Southeast, but I also have a few from Los Angeles, Santa Fe and Colorado, and they work well together and complement each other. I love every single piece."
Jones is also working to make the gallery a gathering space with events such as open-mic nights, special exhibits and fashion shows. "The art is what's most important, but those events allow people who might not usually see the art a chance to see it," she says.
It's also vital to keep pace with the demands of the job, she added. "It's easy to get overwhelmed sometimes because it's just me. But a lot of people got me here, and I have to keep carrying on."

Q: I accidentally plugged my USB mouse into my eSata port... it works? I'm on a Thinkpad T510 and I accidentally plugged my Razor USB mouse into the eSata port not realizing my error because it has been working fine this whole time. Does this seem a little odd?

A: It sounds like you have a USB/eSATA combo port AKA eSATAp.  Which enables you to use either the USB or the eSATA on that particular port.

Picture taken from: techarena's forum.

eSATAp is also known as Power over eSATA or eSATA/USB Combo. eSATAp port combines the strength of both eSATA (high speed) and USB (compatibility) into a single port. eSATAp devices are now capable of being self powered. On a desktop workstation, eSATAp port can supply 12 V to power up a 3.5" hard disk drive (HDD) or a 5.25" DVD-RW without needing separate power source as compared to eSATA and USB 2. On a notebook eSATAp port can supply 5 V to power up a 2.5" HDD/SSD as compared to eSATA. Many notebooks are now equipped with this combo port. A list of notebooks with this new port is available here.
  eSATAp can be implemented in all machines with a spare SATA port. These machines include PC notebooks, desktops, Apple Mac Pro, and Linux or Unix servers. This makes eSATAp an easy, economical, cross platform solution for external storage.

Scientists from the Senckenberg Center for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment in Tübingen and from the Senckenberg Research Institute in Frankfurt examined the demise of the giant ape Gigantopithecus. In their study, published recently in the scientific journal Quaternary International, they reach the conclusion that the presumably largest apes in geological history died due to their insufficient adaptability. Analyses of fossil tooth enamel show that the primates were restricted to forested habitats.
The team of researchers studied stable carbon isotopes in the tooth enamel of the large primates – which are able to reveal information about the animals' dietary habits even after several million years. The examined teeth came from China and Thailand – among them the first record of Gigantopithecus, which was discovered by paleoanthropologist Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald in 1935 among a collection of fossils from a Chinese pharmacy. The results show that the giant ape's habitat was restricted to forested areas – even though the ape was presumably too heavy to climb trees. This was the case both in China and Thailand, where open savannas would have been available in addition to the wooded landscapes.
Bocherens and his colleagues work on the assumption that Gigantopithecus's size, in connection with its restriction to one habitat type, doomed the giant apes. "Relatives of the giant ape, such as the recent orangutan, have been able to survive despite their specialization on a certain habitat. However, orangutans have a slow metabolism and are able to survive on limited food. Due to its size, Gigantopithecus presumably depended on a large amount of food. When during the Pleistocene era more and more forested areas turned into savanna landscapes, there was simply an insufficient food supply for the giant ape," concludes the scientist from Tübingen.

Although versatile, strong, and even aesthetically pleasing, over time, garage epoxy floors can begin to wear. This is not surprising since these floors are constantly subjected to dirt, oil, grease, chemical spills, tire marks, and more. The good news is that you have several viable options for protecting the flooring in your garage.
Because there are several methods for protecting your garage epoxy floor, it is important to work with the professionals at Garage Floor Coatings of Boston to determine the best solution.
Epoxy Coating – Commonly found in residential garages and commercial auto repair shops, epoxy coating hides small imperfections and is stain and spill resistant. Using a diamond-blade rotating device to grind the floor, the professionals with Garage Floor Coatings of Boston then prime, apply epoxy, and protect with a topcoat. A solid-colored garage epoxy floor looks uniform, but by adding colored vinyl flakes, the floor transforms into something unique.
Urethane Sealer – New life can be breathed into your worn and tired garage epoxy floor with the application of a tinted or clear urethane sealer. In addition to outstanding protection against stains, spills, and yellowing, this type of sealer creates a beautiful high-gloss surface.
Acid Stain – Technically, acid stain is not a coating. However, when applied by the professionals at Garage Floor Coatings of Boston, the floor's surface changes dramatically. For optimal protection, a xylene-based acrylic or urethane sealer is applied on top of the acid stain.
Customized Coatings – By working with the pros at Garage Floor Coatings of Boston, you have the opportunity for a customized garage epoxy floor. We can mix and match solid and speckled coatings to achieve incredible results.


When you next want to make a delicious homemade pie, ensure that you bake it using a traditional ceramic Tala pie bird, for a proper British pie that even a professional baker would envy!
A simple and traditional kitchen tool, simply pop it into the centre of your pastry pie base, then add the filling, before carefully constructing your pastry roof around it. Pinch the pastry around the bird's shoulders for maximum effect.
Its classic design provides a vent for steam to escape through, preventing the filling from boiling up and leaking into the top layer of pastry, thereby preventing the pastry lid from sagging and also cracking. It helps to keep your pie moist on the inside, ensuring that the juices stay where they are supposed to!
The Tala ceramic pie bird is both oven safe and dishwasher safe. You can use it again and again for show-stopping homemade pie designs.

Singer-songwriter Alexa Ray Joel returns to Cafe Carlyle, February 27-March 7
(Published: January 22, 2015)
Café Carlyle is pleased to welcome back Alexa Ray Joel for a two-week engagement, February 24-March 7. Reviewing a previous engagement at the Café, The New York Times called Joel, daughter of music legend Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley, "a singer following her own heart," adding, "Her original work... is firmly grounded in a pop tradition in which streams converge, from gospel to Tin Pan Alley. The songs are bluntly melodic, lyrically direct and catchy." Since she was 15, Joel has been writing complete songs and complementing those songs with piano accompaniment, and writing poetry. At Café Carlyle, Alexa Ray Joel will perform original material in addition to giving her signature style to a set of popular songs. She'll be accompanied by a band including Carmine Giglio on piano and Garo Yellin on bass.
Performances will take place Tuesday - Saturday at 8:45pm. Reservations made by phone at 212.744.1600 are $55 ($105 for premium seating, $45 for bar seating) Tuesday - Thursday; and $65 ($115 for premium seating, $55 for bar seating) on Friday and Saturday. Reservations made online at www.ticketweb.com are $55 ($110 for premium seating) Tuesday - Thursday; and $65 ($120 for premium seating) on Friday and Saturday. Café Carlyle is located in The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel (35 East 76th Street, at Madison Avenue).
Joel has said that her musical upbringing with her father gave her a "unique inside peek into the songwriting process." "It's no wonder I write music in the same way (my father) does," she continues, "melody first, and lyrics second." In 2010, Joel released her single "Notice Me" to acclaim. Late that year and in early 2011, she performed a residency at the storied Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel. Recently, Joel was featured in The Gap's "Back to Blue" ad campaign, performing a cover of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are."
Joel has performed at a wide range of events, including two previous sold out runs at the Café. In 2008, she joined Billy Joel onstage during the Rainforest Foundation Benefit Concert at Carnegie Hall. Joel and her father performed his song "Baby Grand" at a Barack Obama election fundraiser at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 16, 2008. She has also performed at benefits for Save Sag Harbor, Habitat For Humanity and St. Jude's Children's Research, among others.
Alexa is also an actress and has voiced roles on ABC's Family Guy and actively auditions on Broadway. She honed her Beauty & Fashion expert skills on Access Hollywood's "How to Achieve the Bombshell Look." Alexa appeared in makeup guru Bobbi Brown's book Pretty Powerful. She has also contributed to the teen publication J-14's "Life's Big Questions" helping teenage girls solve problems associated with growing up.
She has also been a fashion correspondent for the lifestyle site Julib.com during Spring and Fall Fashion Week, interviewing celebrities and fashion designers including Charlotte Ronson, Max Azria, Badgley Mischka, Heidi Klum, Cyndi Lauper and more. In 2006, Joel self-released a six-song EP Sketches, for which she designed and illustrated the album art and packaging.
About Café Carlyle at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel
Originally opened in 1955, Café Carlyle is New York City's bastion of classic cabaret entertainment, a place where audiences experience exceptional performers at close range in an exceedingly elegant setting. Since composer Richard Rodgers moved in as The Carlyle's first tenant, music has been an essential part of The Carlyle experience. No place is that more evident than in the Café Carlyle.
Café Carlyle is known for talents including Woody Allen, who regularly appears on Monday evenings to play with the Eddy Davis New Orleans jazz band. For three decades, Café Carlyle was synonymous with the legendary Bobby Short, who thrilled sell-out crowds for 36 years. His spirit lives on through the music at Café Carlyle.
Continuing the tradition of the 1930s supper club, Café Carlyle features original murals created by French artist Marcel Vertès, the Oscar-winning art director of the 1952 Moulin Rouge.

Not sure if anyone knows this but there are actually 13 Zodiac signs, the 13th sign is called Ophiuchus , but I know that the Star child series is only using the 12 known signs, it would be nice that somewhere in the series that Ophiuchus is used. But then again not many know about Ophiuchus so it would be hard to use something no one really knows anything about or would be able to recognize or understand. But still it would be nice to see it mentioned even if it is used a mystery power or something.
I'm glad you brought this up, MSO. There are numerous postulations regarding the 13th Sign and I think it's going to take awhile before the astrology world revamps to include Ophiuchus. After all, it took quite a number of years for the astronomical world to discount Pluto and, that being so recent, there are still alterations throughout astronomy to accommodate. Astrological charts have not yet been altered to include Ophiuchus, making it difficult for this sign to be available in a natal chart for interpretation.
There are currently a few ideas running through my head regarding ways to use this mysterious 13th sign in the novels. I am happy to welcome Ophiuchus to the astrological world; my only complaint is that it seems to rearrange the dates such that some people are reassigned. I, for one, would be launched back into Virgo, and personality-wise, I cannot see a strong Virgoan influence in my life. I am fairly solid in Libra just as you are solid in Ophiuchus personality. My petty, personal issue aside, I am curious to see the developments that work to include Ophiuchus. After all, astrologers suggest that there are also two more planets out there. With the addition of the 13th Sign, this might suggest that there are three planets yet to be discovered. The possibilities open up.
I am happy to see you here on the forums, MSO, and that you've opened the discussion regarding the 13th sign. Of course, there is also always room for Fan Fiction. Looking forward to many more discussions with you!
There are currently a few ideas running through my head regarding ways to use this mysterious 13th sign in the novels.
Hmmm yeah that could be very interesting!!
MSO, I actually have an idea of how I'm going to bring Ophiuchus into the picture. I think this is a highly controversial topic in the astrological world. I think it's interesting. Having read up on this constellation, it's fascinating to think that it's so large that it spans such a gap. The world is constantly moving, changing, and I think the creation of the 12 sign zodiac was an adaptation. If it moves back towards including Ophiuchus, I think it'll be a gradual adaptation. I think that those who are born under Ophiuchus are able to recognize that and they can claim the constellation as their own. I think to include Ophiuchus at this point would take some reworking, especially for those who have been used to being a certain sign for most of their lives. Honestly, I think if we weren't redefining all of the other signs, it wouldn't be so hard. I'm, of course, speaking from personal experience. I would feel very displaced if I were suddenly classified as a Virgo instead of a Libra, just as true Ophiuchans feel about being classified under Sagittarius, so I know they understand how I feel. I do not begrudge those born under Ophiuchus the chance to stand up and declare their sign. I say stand tall and proud, Ophiuchus! I think it's important for everyone have a connection to their sign and it's not fair for those who feel a stronger connection to an ancient sign than to Sagittarius to feel left out. There are always new discoveries or rediscoveries. For example, indigo was introduced as a new color of auras just a few decades prior. It's vital to acknowledges changes throughout the world of the occult. While I don't see Ophiuchus as being fully acknowledged within the astrological world in the next few decades, it certainly has its place and Ophiuchans should be able to show pride as well.

The Thunderbird was an instant success from a sales perspective, and the goal of matching the Corvette was accomplished in spades when you look at the number of cars that were driven out of the showrooms. A total of 16,155 1955 Thunderbirds were sold as compared to just 700 Corvettes. The first generation of the car lasted through the 1957 model year, and by that time the standard engine in the T-Bird was a 312 cubic inch V8 that was capable of 245 horsepower, but there were performance upgrades available, including one with the dual Holley four-barrels.
The Thunderbird went on to become one of the most successful models ever produced by Ford. In all, there were eleven different distinct generations of the car, and it holds the distinction of being the first model to win the Motor Trend Car of the Year award, which it captured in 1958. (Previous to this, brands were given the award rather than model lines.) The original Thunderbird was in production from 1955 through 1997, and it was then revived in 2002 and was manufactured through the 2005 model year. In all, more than 4.4 specimens of the Thunderbird have been produced over the years, and it is truly an American classic of legendary status.

Can We Increase the Number of White People Who Support Doing Something About Racism and Discrimination
These is indeed a difficult questions. There is no question that explicit calls to address the problem of racism are being used by conservative forces to ramp up support for Republicans. The behavior of elected officials is largely selected by the consequences that is most important to them — votes. We are not likely to make much headway with Republicans until it becomes possible for some of them to win elections with more moderate positions on race. What is badly needed is more research on how you can get people who have traditionally voted Republican to embrace reforms that are needed. There is certainly some evidence from polling to suggest that such people are out there, though the events of the past month have reduced the number of white people who support doing something about racism.
What would be helpful is research on how we can influence middle-of-the-road white people to support policies that would reduce practices that are harming Black people in other members of minority groups. The work of Rev. Barber may be one example of what can be done.
I was reading this morning about the cover-up by the leadership of Rochester government regarding the police killing of Daniel Prude. It made me particularly sad. More than 50 years ago there were riots in Rochester because of police brutality. I was a student at the University of Rochester and I worked with the organization the black community created, with the help of Saul Alinsky.
Paluck and Green wrote a good review of research on reducing discrimination. One of their main conclusions was that there'd been far too little research in the real world — and schools, and communities, and workplaces. Programs like cooperative learning in schools have a strong record of reducing divisions between white and minority students. Entertainment media such as the Harry Potter series have been shown to reduce discrimination.
One of the things we should be doing is calling for more research being done in real world settings. This is another instance in which not enough research is being funded on the social determinants of health. We know unequivocally that exposure to discrimination produces physiological responses that shorten lives. On that basis NIH should be funding the kind of research the Paluck and Green call for. I know that there is increased concern at NIH about these issues. It would be useful to have congressional committees hold hearings on this issue, since NIH officials cannot advocate, but can respond when asked.

The Darkness Announces New Album, Easter Is Cancelled
First Single "Rock and Roll Deserves to Die" Available Now
In the Year of Our Lord, 2019, while turmoil and chaos beset the world, a mighty force is about to be unleashed. Prepare for the sonic apocalypse…for Darkness spreads across the land! In their inimitable style, as joyous warriors of The Darkness - frontman Justin Hawkins, guitarist Dan Hawkins, bassist Frankie Poullain and drummer Rufus Taylor - are here to prick the pompous and kick the arses of those who seek to destroy. Our four maestros embark upon their most ambitious quest to date with a musical opus of veritable magnum status soon to be thrust into the ear canals of rock fans around the globe: The band's new album Easter Is Cancelled will be released on October 4th via Cooking Vinyl.
Easter Is Cancelled marks The Darkness' first ever concept album. The ten-track record produced by Dan Hawkins (who also produced the band's magnificent 2015 release Last Of Our Kind), examines the role of the musician in the barbarous culture of the world today, and their almost divine responsibility to challenge the establishment - something that most rock and roll artists seem to have given up on in favor of easy celebrity - with opener "Rock and Roll Deserves to Die." And yet at the heart of this tale is love, loss and heartbreak, where redemption is ultimately found in the brotherhood of band friendship and the power of the guitar, as brought full circle in the glorious album closer "We Are The Guitar Men." View a message from The Darkness HERE.
First single "Rock and Roll Deserves to Die" is quite simply the band's most exciting and diverse song to date and finds The Darkness hailing the death of the old and opening a door into a brave new world never seen from the band before. From the song's chiming, acoustic beginnings, as it explodes into an epic five-minute masterpiece, the track boasts some of Justin Hawkins' finest lyrics to date alongside monumental riffs, thunderous bass and almighty drums, while also featuring some beautifully delicate touches from the band.
Easter Is Cancelled will be released digitally and in full technicolor physical glory as a standard CD, digipak CD with bonus tracks, gatefold LP, limited edition color vinyl gatefold LP and cassette. The album is available to pre-order now from the band's official store including special signed copies, deluxe edition and exclusive album bundle offers.
The Darkness will be spreading their Easter Is Cancelled message across the land with a full North American tour kicking off in Spring 2020 that will quite literally resurrect the souls of all who attend (details to be announced). The band is set to play UK and European headline dates this winter and open for Ed Sheeran in September.
: "At the end of days, humankind must consider the essential truths of existence. The Darkness, your vanguard in life's journey, have stared into the abyss. The observations we bring from the edge are set out in a new record album, titled Easter is Cancelled. This far-reaching communiqué examines man's brutality to man, the dichotomies that we live within and the alternate realities that exist alongside our blinkered comprehension of the Universe. The song cycle defines human existence through a parable – the slow lingering death and eventual glorious re-birth of rock and roll. In the search for perfect sonic equivalents of core truths, every musical instrument of the world has been explored and exploited to its fullest extent. Endless days in studios, museums, spiritual retreats and places of learning turned into endless months, as deeper and deeper layers of truth were uncovered, translated and set for eternity in sound. The result is a literally Biblical record, and those who have said that rock and roll is the Devil's music should listen and understand that it is, in truth, the voice of God. This is the grandest statement any band has ever made, and the endeavour has taken its toll. In achieving such a mighty goal, a line is drawn and this will be the last traditional music album from The Darkness – having confronted the eternal and ultimate, we must now move on to higher art forms. The future is an open door. Who's in here?"

Ever since I first saw my Dad's first transistor Radio on a Family fishing trip I have been hooked on Radio.
I had the opportunity in 1958 to compose a list of songs to make up a good radio show on Commercial Radio station and was thrilled on Sunday Afternoon to hear it being played. Much later in 1996 I became a radio presenters at a community radio station that was called Ram FM broadcasting from the studio in Piper Street Kyneton.
The station 3CH known as 100.7 Highlandsfm - The Voice of the Ranges has now expanded to the studios in Woodend. I'm fortunate to be involved with creating and producing New Radio shows which I aim to share each week.
I've been very concerned about the large number of suicides and have been personally touched by close relatives and friends who have unexpectantly taken their own lives. I had to do SOMETHING to try to slow this epedemic down.
and faith there is "GOOD NEWS GOSPEL TIME" with some older Hymns, Contempory Christian Songs and Inspirational bits..

He marries her and returns to Bombay where he announces that he will never sing without Uma again. However, Subeer encourages Uma to sing alone and when her popularity is soon greater than his own, the seed of jealousy begins to grow… The major difference between Uma and Subeer is that she sings for herself, whereas he sings for the public.

Jack Brabham is the only Formula 1 driver to become champion in a car of his own make. Here is a glance on the F1 career of Jack Brabham.
Formula 1 » Legends » Jack Brabham
Jack Brabham holds the distinction of being the only driver to become champion in a car of his own make. Both an expert engineer and driver, he won three F1 world championships. He became the first Formula 1 driver to receive a knighthood, for his contribution to the sport which included nurturing young drivers and supporting the business side.
Jack Arthur Brabham was born on 2 April 1926 in Hurstville, a commuter town in vicinity of Sydney, Australia.
From an early age, Brabham was interested in cars and mechanics. He learnt driving at the age of 12. He joined technical college where he learnt technical drawing. At the age of 15, he joined a local garage and joined an evening course in mechanical engineering. Then he entered into his own business of purchasing and selling his own motorbikes. He also served as the flight mechanic Royal Australian Air Force towards the end of the Second World War.
Racing Career
Once, Brabham went to see midget car racing with a friend. Midget racing is a type of race category where small open-wheeled cars compete on dirt ovals. On the suggestion of his friend, Jack Brabham agreed to build a racing car. Gradually his interest in driving increased. When he won a race, he knew that he had the knack of driving. In self-made midgets he was victorious in four successive Australian championships and was the 1953 hillclimb champion in a British-built Cooper-Bristol. After midget driving for some time, Brabham became interested in road racing. From 1953 he focussed on road racing, in which drivers compete on closed tarmac circuits.
Brabham arrived in Europe in early 1955. He had a meeting with Charles Cooper, constructors of his successful Australian car. This developed into a partnership that made big marks in the history of Formula One. Brabham persuaded the Coopers to take the rear-engine route into Formula One racing. He also built up his first chassis in Cooper's workshop. This was in an era when the competition was dominated by big, front-engined Italian and German roadsters. Brabham had victories in Monaco and Britain together with his consistently high placings. This resulted in his winning a drivers' title. In 1960, he was the dominating driver in the nine-race series, winning consecutively in Holland, Belgium, France, Britain and Portugal, bagging his second consecutive championship.
Season 1961 was unproductive for Brabham. Thereafter he decided to leave Cooper and form Motor Racing Developments, in partnership with Ron Tauranac, the talented Australian designer. His team tasted success in several categories of racing, particularly Formula Two. Brabham Formula One car appeared late in 1962. Brabham personally worked hard to perfect the chassis set-up and fine-tune the Climax engines. Brabham's team mate Dan Gurney won in France and Mexico, making him proud.
The new 3-litre formula came into effect in 1966. Brabham, in collaboration with Australian company Repco, developed a car on this configuration. In a car of his own make, he won the Dutch Grand Prix and attained the same feat in France, Britain and Germany. He won in notoriously difficult and dangerous Nurburgring, a victory he considered the best in his career.
Brabham's final victory came in the 1970 South African Grand Prix at the age of 44. Thereafter, he retired as a driver and returned to Australia. Recognising his contribution to British motosport, the title of Sir was conferred on him in 1985.

DC Edit | Promising signs in economy

The RBI governor Shaktikanta Das-led Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) hiked the repo rate by 35 basis points to 6.25 per cent — the fifth straight increase in the current cycle since May 2022 — as it seeks to fight global uncertainty and uncomfortable levels of inflation. The RBI governor's post-policy meeting comments hint that the central government remains focused on inflation, and that it would withdraw the monetary accommodation while ensuring adequate liquidity to support growth. The central bank's decision to lower its forecast for the country's economic growth from seven per cent to 6.8 per cent, citing global headwinds, shows that all is not well yet.
There are a lot of issues that threaten global stability and, by extension, the economic growth — the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict does not seem to be closer yet, China agreed to relax Covid curbs but its effect on population in the coming days is still unknown, Saudi Arabia is showing signs of warming up to China and if Riyadh leaves the Western block, it will threaten the dominance of the oil-backed US dollar.
Apart from these issues, the US economy has begun to show signs of economic recession. Washington could marshal all instruments to deal with the recession, which include stimulus or lowering loan rates — both moves will set off a flood of easy money into India.
On the domestic front, India appears to be well placed on industry and inflation. In a good sign, government expenditure in the second quarter remained lower. Similarly, the private consumption and Gross Fixed Capital Formation have increased giving hope of a quick exit from the economic downturn.

"In working with Dave before, I know what a heart for God he has and what an impact he and the organization are making," shared Lindberg. "It's the trust of the folks at Urban Alliance that lets me know my gift makes an impact. This work is a mission field and I am blessed to be a small part of it."
"Bill was invited to participate in UA's first annual #UAGivingTuesday fundraiser, which launched our individual giving program, UAGive, in 2015," explained Jaleith Gary, Urban Alliance's Director of Philanthropy.
From there, his annual contributions have helped change lives.
"A donor, like Bill, can be the difference between a young person being told about community services that could possibly help them and that same person being referred to complementary services by an adult they trust, followed by utilizing those services to help achieve their goals and develop the character, relationships and skills they need to be successful in school and in their community," explained Gary.
Lindberg also appreciates any opportunity he gets to see UA's impact in action, like when school supply bags are filled in order to be distributed to students at local under-resourced schools.
"It visually reinforces what is really happening," he said.
And, in addition to helping Lindberg steward resources in a strategic and meaningful way that brings about significant community transformation, Urban Alliance has enjoyed getting to know what motivates him to get involved.
"I've enjoyed getting to know Bill," shared Gary. "His heart is so big and he sincerely cares for the people we work to serve. I most appreciate his willingness to help in any way he can, with such joy and humility for the Lord's work."
In fact, as a key UAGive Better Together campaign member, Lindberg has hit the ground running in an effort to invite people to make a difference in our community.
"I'm looking forward to working with him to help people find their place in our model of collective impact," explained Gary.
Lindberg insists that the key is to just get started as a UAGive donor. "Get in small if needed, but get in and watch the magic happen," he said. "God will show you amazing things if you get involved and keep your ears and eyes focused."
To get involved as a UAGive donor or learn more about making an investment, no matter how big or small, that best aligns with your interests, contact Jaleith Gary. Or, make an easy online donation by clicking here or by mailing a check payable to Urban Alliance to 62 Village Street, c/o Jaleith Gary, East Hartford, CT 06108.

Discussion in 'Java' started by prashantSum, Nov 11, 2005.
I am little bit confused with EJB Transactions.
I have Stateless Session Bean, Transaction is Container in managed in ejb-jar.xml and Transaction attribute required.
I am inserting two records in the same table and same database with the same connection object and when I am using SessionContext.setRollbackOnly(); in the catch block and when the second insert is throwing an exception... now the transaction is not getting rolled back i.e. the first record is being inserted.
and when I am controlling it with Connection.setAutocommit(false) and Connection.commit and Connection.rollback() in the catch block it's working fine.
i.e. when second statement throwing some exception the transaction is getting rolled back and when there is no exception the transaction is getting commited.
Does Transactions are managed in differently in different Containers.
I am using OC4J Server.
