Helsinki Twilight Run & Walk 3.8.2019 – Run in Finland!
The first Saturday in August is a perfect evening for a twilight run or walk! Mark the date on your calendar – the next Helsinki Twilight Run & Walk will be held on the 3rd of August 2019. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a top runner, there is something for everyone. If you feel like running, you can choose between a 10k and a 1/2-marathon. If you prefer walking, the 5k Walk is for you.
The history of the Helsinki Twilight Run & Walk goes back to the summer of 2012. The organizer of the event, Runner's High, born in early 2011, wanted to create a new running experience in Helsinki. The first Runner's Twilight was held on the 20th of July 2012 at Pirkkola Sport Park in Helsinki. The distances at the original event were 10k and half marathon, but in 2014 a few brave runners finished a marathon.
In the summer of 2016 the event was moved from Pirkkola to Hietaniemi, and the name was changed to the Helsinki Twilight Run & Walk. Additionally, a new event, the 5k Walk joined the program. The renewed 10k course follows a beautiful coastline to the spectacular Hietaniemi Beach. Half Marathon runners get to enjoy the course twice.
There is also something for the kids, of course! The Kids Run Helsinki Beach is a fun running event for kids under 13, and takes place before the Twilight Run & Walk at Hietaniemi Beach. Girls and boys up to 7 years will run one 400 meter lap, and older kids two laps.

I would probably choose The Red House, but they all look good.
I really liked The curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. The first chapter of The Red House was ok. I'm hoping it gets better.


1 Bedroom, shared eat-in kitchen, bathroom and living room, situated in one of Somerville's finest neighborhoods. Short walk to Harvard, Union and Inman Squares. Laundry in the basement. Less than 10 mins walk to grocery stores (Whole Foods, Market Basket), Walgreens, restaurants, parks and all conveniences.

Head Women's Track and Field Coach Pleads for New Biddle Field Track
Coach John Cantalupi of the Women's Track and Field team wrote a letter to then president of Dickinson College, Dr. Samuel A. Banks, pleading for the resurfacing or conversion of the Bibble Field Track. The coach expressed worry that the state of the track and its measurement in yards instead of meters would hinder athletes from meeting national qualifying standards. He cited national qualifier Linda Reinman's achievement, saying that he would "hate to see Linda's chances of qualifying for next year's national championships hindered by our current setup."
Cyndi Lyn Injured
In a letter to Coach Harbold, Cyndi Lyn Olcott explains that she cannot attend the scheduled meeting and that she is prohibited from participating in Women's Track and Field until the second week of January. "If my injuries don't prevail," she writes, "I'll be out on the track more psyched than ever."
Female Athlete Ready to Work Hard for Women's Track and Field
Cara Lima wrote to Coach Jere Harbold expressing interest in Women's Track and Field. She ran track during junior high school but was unable to participate during high school due to the lack of a team. She writes that she is "willing to begin working hard now."
1988 Women's Outdoor Track and Field
The 1988 Outdoor Track and Field yearbook includes both the men's and women's team. The co-captains for the women's team were Cyndi Lyn Olcott and Susan Baldwin. Susan Baldwin won the MVP award for the year and qualified for the NCAA Division III national championships in javelin. Baldwin also played women's basketball at Dickinson and won the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships in javelin.
Second Petition for Women's Track and Field Intercollegiate Team Status
After the Women's Track and Field Club's first petition in 1981, David L. Watkins, the chairman of the Department of Physical Education, wrote to Comptroller Robert W. Belyea in 1982 urging the club's elevation to intercollegiate team status. He writes that women students have participated in the Track and Field Club for five years and have conducted "a quality program." He argues that creating this women's team would allow the college to offer nine intercollegiate sports for women in comparison to the ten for men.
Women's Track and Field Club proposes "some program" over equal program
At the conclusion of its letter petitioning for intercollegiate team status, the Women's Track and Field Club proposed three budget options. The first outlined a minimal budget without food, awards, or travel expenses; the second a moderate program after the model of the men's team; and the third a "high quality program separate from but equal to the men's program." The club cited the existing economic environment as the impetus behind its recommendation of the second program.
The Beginnings of the Women's Track and Field and Cross Country Teams
According to a petition by the Women's Track and Field Club for elevation to intercollegiate team status, the club was formed during the 1980 season. The petition juxtaposes the lack of the club's intercollegiate team status to the speed with which the Women's Cross Country Club went intercollegiate: formed in 1979, it competed in the intercollegiate capacity during the 1980 and 1981 season. As a club, Women's Track and Field had access to equipment and coaching "only through the good graces of the men's team," which was already in existence.
Women's Center will soon open. "Women's Center will host feminist events"
This article, written by Marcy Feldman, describes the resources that will soon be available at the opening of the Women's Center on March 1, 1984. "The Women's Center, intended to provide a meeting place for women's groups on campus...will offer lectures and exhibits focusing on feminist issues. The Women's Center is also intended to raise women's consciousness of pertinent issues on and off campus."
Women's Center Fosters Greater Student Awareness
To celebrate the one hundredth year anniversary of women at Dickinson College, the Womens Center planned a series of events to create a welcoming environment in order to promote social interaction between students and faculty outside the classroom setting.Located at 222 Church St., under the coordination of Tina Groover,Office of Admissions, Nina Shover,Office of Student Services, Rena Convissor, Student Planning Board, and under the guidance of the Board of Directors, Professors Ellen Rosenman and Sharon O'Brien,the Womens Center strives to flourish across the Dickinson community so as to
Coach Expects Great Things from Women's Track and Field in 1987
Coach John Cantalupi had high expectations for the 1987 women's outdoor track season and their performance in the MAC championships, according to an article in the Dickinsonian. He is quoted as saying that the team had "been third the past two seasons, and I think that this could be the year that we come through with a top finish." His expectations for the women's team were more optimistic than those professed by the men's coach, Jere Harbold.

Justia Dockets & Filings Tenth Circuit Oklahoma Eastern District Allen v. Social Security Administration Filing 19
Allen v. Social Security Administration
OPINION AND ORDER by Magistrate Judge Kimberly E. West reversing and remanding the decision of the ALJ. (sjr, Chambers)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA JODY ALLEN on behalf of J.K.A., a minor, Plaintiff, v. NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting Commissioner of Social Security Administration, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Case No. CIV-16-006-KEW OPINION AND ORDER Plaintiff Jody Allen ("Plaintiff"), on behalf of the minor child, J.K.A. ("Claimant") requests judicial review of the decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (the "Commissioner") denying Claimant's application benefits under the Social Security Act. for disability Plaintiff appeals the decision of the Administrative Law Judge and asserts that the Commissioner erred because the ALJ incorrectly determined that Claimant was not disabled. For the reasons discussed below, it is the finding of this Court that the Commissioner's decision should be and is REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings. Social Security Law and Standard of Review Disability for persons under the age of 18 is defined by the Social Security Act as the "a medically determinable physical or mental impairment or combination of impairments that causes marked and severe functional limitations, and that can be expected to cause death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." 416.906. Social Security regulations implement 20 C.F.R. § a three-step sequential process to evaluate a claim for Child's Supplemental Security Income Benefits under Title XVI of the Social Security See, 20 C.F.R. § 416.924.1 Act. Judicial review of the Commissioner's determination is limited in scope by 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). two inquiries: substantial first, whether the decision was supported by evidence; standards were applied. (10th Cir. This Court's review is limited to and, second, whether the correct legal Hawkins v. Chater, 113 F.3d 1162, 1164 1997)(citation omitted). The term "substantial evidence" has been interpreted by the United States Supreme Court to require "more than a mere scintilla. It means such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 401 (1971) (quoting Consolidated Edison Co. v. NLRB, 305 U.S. 197, 229 (1938)). The court may not re-weigh the evidence nor substitute 1 At step one, a child will not be deemed disabled if he is working and such work constitutes substantial gainful activity. The regulations require the claimant to establish that he is not engaged in substantial gainful activity. At step two, a child will not be found disabled if he does not suffer from a medically determinable impairment that is severe. At step three, a child's impairment must meet a listing and must meet the duration requirement of 12 months. 20 C.F.R. § 416.924(b), (c) and (d). 2 its discretion for that of the agency. Casias v. Secretary of Health 800 & Human Servs., 933 F.2d 799, (10th Cir. 1991). Nevertheless, the court must review the record as a whole, and the "substantiality of the evidence must take into account whatever in the record fairly detracts from its weight." Universal Camera Corp. v. NLRB, 340 U.S. 474, 488 (1951); see also, Casias, 933 F.2d at 800-01. Claimant's Background Claimant was born on December 27, 2000 and was 13 years old on the date the ALJ issued his decision. become disabled on October 31, Claimant is alleged to have 2007 due to epilepsy/seizure disorder and mood disorder. Procedural History On February 27, 2012, Claimant, through Plaintiff, protectively applied for Supplemental Security Income under Title XVI of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1381 et seq.). Claimant's application for benefits was denied in its entirety initially and on reconsideration. On February 27, 2014, Plaintiff appeared at an administrative hearing in Tulsa, Oklahoma before Administrative Law Judge Bernard Porter ("ALJ") by video with Claimant appearing in Poteau, Oklahoma and the ALJ presiding from McAlester, Oklahoma. The ALJ issued an unfavorable decision on May 3 28, 2014. On November 24, 2015, the Appeals Council denied review of the ALJ's findings. Thus, the decision of the ALJ represents the Commissioner's final decision for purposes of further appeal. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.981, 416.1481. Decision of the Administrative Law Judge The ALJ made his decision at step three of the sequential evaluation. He determined that Claimant's condition did not meet a listing and he had not been under a disability during the relevant period. Review Plaintiff asserts the ALJ committed error in failing to find Claimant's condition met or equaled a listing. Consideration of Functional Equivalency In his decision, the ALJ determined Claimant suffered from the severe impairments of seizure disorder, nocturia enuresis, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ("ADHD"), and learning disorder. (Tr. 13). The ALJ also determined Claimant did not meet a listing or the equivalency of a listing, singly or in combination of his impairments. Id. The ALJ analyzed the six domains of functioning in light of Claimant's severe impairments. He concluded Claimant had less than marked limitation in the areas of acquiring and using 4 information, attending and completing tasks, caring for yourself, and health and physical well-being. He also determined Claimant had a marked limitation in the domain of interacting and relating to others. He found no significant limitation in the areas of moving about and manipulating objects. (Tr. 18-24). Plaintiff asserts the ALJ failed to consider all evidence in determining that Claimant did not satisfy the six functional equivalence domains. To functionally equal a listing, a claimant's impairment or combination of impairments must result in "marked" limitations in at least two of the six domains of functioning, or in "extreme" limitation in at least one domain. 20 C.F.R. §§ 416.926a(a), (g)-(l). Plaintiff takes issue with the ALJ's analysis of four of the six domains. The domain of Acquiring and Using Information involves the ability "to learn to read, write, do arithmetic, and understand and use new information." 20 C.F.R. § 416.926a(g)(1)(I). For school-age children (age 6 to attainment of age 12), the regulations set out the benchmarks: (1) Learns to read, write, and do simple arithmetic; (2) Becomes interested in new subjects and activities (for example, science experiments and stories from history); (3) Demonstrates learning by producing oral and written projects, solving arithmetic problems, taking tests, doing group work, and entering into class discussions; (4) Applies learning in 5 daily activities at home and in the community (for example, reading street signs, telling time, and making change); and (5) Uses increasingly complex language (vocabulary and grammar) to share information, ask questions, express ideas, and respond to the opinions of others. Soc. Sec. R. 09-3p, 2009 WL 396025, *6. A "marked" limitation in this domain requires a finding that the "impairment(s) interferes seriously interferes with [a claimant's] ability to activities." independently initiate, sustain, or complete 20 C.F.R. § 416.926a(e)(2)(ii). The ALJ relied primarily upon the report of Claimant's fifth grade teacher, Ms. Sherrill Allen from April of 2012. This teacher stated she taught Claimant for four periods per day in Math, Reading, English, and Enrichment classes. five years. domain. She knew Claimant for Ms. Allen found Claimant had no problems in this The report of Dr. Evette Budrich lends support for this position. (Tr. 317). However, on February 13, 2014, Ms. Allen and Mr. Jeff Neighbors, the principal at Claimant's school, authored admittedly sparse forms which indicated Claimant had a "markedly interfering" limitation in this domain. (Tr. 347-48). The ALJ gave "little weight" to these opinions because they are not doctors or mental health professionals qualified to give these opinions, and they opinions were not consistent with the evidence of record as a whole. He also noted the inconsistency between Ms. Allen's 6 first opinion from 2012 and the subsequent opinion in 2014, stating that the former opinion was more specific and consistent with the evidence of record as a whole. (Tr. 17). This Court is troubled by the ALJ's willingness to accept Ms. Allen's opinion when it supported a finding of less than a marked limitation in this domain but rejected a subsequent opinion from her which supported a finding of marked limitation. This inconsistency after a two year passage of time should at least have triggered the ALJ's obligation to develop the record by recontacting this teacher with intimate knowledge of Claimant's day-to-day activity and developmental progress. Moreover, it is intellectually inconsistent to reject an opinion from Claimant's special education teacher on the basis that she is not a medical professional qualified to render such an opinion but accept her prior opinion when it supports a finding of non-disability. The ALJ also concluded without evidence that Ms. Allen provided the second opinion "in an effort to assist the child with whom she sympathizes." (Tr. 17). This statement smacks of the oft rejected statement that a "treating physician's report appears to have been prepared as an accommodation to a patient" statement that has been roundly rejected. Miller v. Chater, 99 F.3d. 972, 976 (10th Cir. 1996) citing Frey v. Bowen, 816 F.2d 508, 515 (10th Cir. 1987). The ALJ's assumption in this regard does not represent a 7 justifiable basis for rejecting the teacher's opinion. Additionally, the medical record indicates Claimant's mental and emotional status has worsened since 2012. On October 23, 2013, Dr. Eric Broadway indicated Claimant's anger, defiant personality traits, and attitude deteriorated. toward teachers and doing school work On remand, the ALJ should explore whether the inconsistencies in Ms. Allen's opinions were attributable to a worsening of Claimant's condition. This same analysis holds true with the domains of attending to and completing tasks, interacting and relating to others, and caring for interfering" Neighbors. himself - all limitations by of which Ms. now Allen reflect and "extremely supported by Mr. The ALJ should engage in a re-examination of these domains and whether Claimant's limitations in relation to them has deteriorated since 2012. Conclusion The decision of the Commissioner is not supported by substantial evidence and the correct legal standards were not applied. fourth Therefore, this Court finds, in accordance with the sentence of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the ruling of the Commissioner of Social Security Administration should be and is REVERSED and the matter REMANDED for further proceedings consistent 8 with this Opinion and Order. DATED this 31st day of March, 2017. ______________________________ KIMBERLY E. WEST UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 9

TechJuice > Social Media > FIA arrests PML-N's youth wing leader over hateful content on social media
FIA arrests PML-N's youth wing leader over hateful content on social media
By Faisal Saeed on
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested Waleed Butt, a leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's (PML-N) youth wing for uploading hateful and rebellious content against state departments on social media. Asif Iqbal who is in-charge of the cyber-crime wing of the FIA confirmed the news and said that Waleed Butt was arrested after the authorities registered a case against him.
The crime wing in-charge Mr. Iqbal while talking to a private news agency said that Waleed Butt who was previously the president of the PML-N's youth wing in Gujranwala was posting hateful content in social media against the state institutions of Pakistan. He further added, "Butt had used inappropriate language against the judiciary, army officers and Prime Minister Imran Khan".
A first information report (FIR) against Butt was registered at the sub-circle of the FIA Cyber Crime Circle in Gujranwala on Monday, on the complaint of a local citizen named Ameer Hamza. The FIR was registered under Sections 11 and 20 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016 (Peca). This cybercrime law had faced a massive criticism by civil rights campaigners and was termed as 'draconian' when the law was passed by the Nawaz Sharif-led PML-N government.
In addition to this law, Section 500 (punishment for defamation), 505 (statements conducing to public mischief), and 109 (punishment of abetment if the Act abetted committed in consequence and where no express provision is made for its punishment), also received a major criticism during the time of their passage.
It is important to mention here that when Imran Khan was in opposition, he and his party posted the same type of hateful and rebellious content on social media against PML-N, to attract supporters to bring down the PML-N's government. It seems a bit biased that why PTI govt can't handle the criticism now.
Should the PTI government arrest people who criticize them on social media? Isn't freedom of speech important now? What is your opinion on this?

Comparative religion is the branch of the study of religions  with the systematic comparison of the doctrines and practices, themes and impacts (including migration) of the world's religions. In general the comparative study of religion yields a deeper understanding of the fundamental philosophical concerns of religion such as ethics, metaphysics and the nature and forms of salvation. It also considers and compares the origins and similarities shared between the various religions of the world. Studying such material facilitates a broadened and more sophisticated understanding of human beliefs and practices regarding the sacred, numinous, spiritual and divine.

In the field of comparative religion, a common geographical classification of the main world religions distinguishes groups such as  Middle Eastern religions (including Iranian religions), Indian religions, East Asian religions, African religions,  American religions,  Oceanic religions, and classical Hellenistic religions.

There also exist various sociological classifications of religious movements.

History

Al-Biruni and Ibn Hazm of the Islamic Golden Age compared the study of religious pluralism and their works have been significant in the fields of theology and philosophy. Social scientists in the 19th century took a strong interest in comparative and "primitive" religion through the work of Max Müller, Edward Burnett Tylor, William Robertson Smith, James George Frazer, Émile  Durkheim, Max Weber, and Rudolf Otto.
Nicholas de Lange, Professor of Hebrew and Jewish Studies at Cambridge University, says that

Examples that demonstrate this point are Buddhism and Chinese Folk Religions. These belief systems have not historically been seen as mutually exclusive and have blended over time into different beliefs such as Pure Land Buddhism. This shows a marked difference from Western conceptions of religions which see adherence to one religion as precluding membership of another faith.

Hinduism and Buddhism provide another insight in the form of soteriology. Comparative study of religions may approach religions with a base idea of salvation with eternal life after death, but religions like Hinduism or Buddhism don't necessarily share this view. Instead, Hinduism and Theravada Buddhism both speak of a falling back into nonexistence and escaping the cycle of reincarnation, rather than eternal life after death.

Geographical classification
According to Charles Joseph Adams, in the field of comparative religion, a common geographical classification discerns the main world religions as follows:

 Middle Eastern religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and a variety of ancient cults;
 East Asian religions, the religious communities of China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam, and consisting of Confucianism, Daoism, the various schools of Mahayana ("Greater Vehicle") Buddhism, and Shintō;
 Indian religions, including early Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and sometimes also the Theravada ("Way of the Elders") Buddhism and the Hindu- and Buddhist-inspired religions of South and Southeast Asia;
 African religions, the ancient belief systems of the various indigenous peoples of Africa, excluding ancient Egyptian religion, which is considered to belong to the ancient Middle East;
 American religions, the beliefs and practices of the various Indigenous peoples of the two American continents;
 Oceanic religions, the religious systems of the peoples of the Pacific islands, Australia, and New Zealand; and
 Classical religions of ancient Greece and Rome and their Hellenistic descendants.

Middle Eastern religions

Abrahamic or Western Asian religions

In the study of comparative religion, the category of Abrahamic religions consists of the three monotheistic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, which claim Abraham (Hebrew Avraham אַבְרָהָם; Arabic Ibrahim إبراهيم ) as a part of their sacred history. Smaller religions such as Bahá'í Faith that fit this description are sometimes included but are often omitted.

The original belief in the God of Abraham eventually became strictly monotheistic present-day Rabbinic Judaism. Judaism is considered by religious Jews to be the expression of the covenant that God established with the Children of Israel. Jews hold that the Torah is part of the larger text known as the Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible, they also believe in a supplemental oral tradition represented by later texts such as the Midrash and the Talmud.

Christians believe that Christianity is the fulfillment and continuation of the Jewish Old Testament. Christians believe that Jesus (Hebrew Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ) is the awaited Messiah (Christ) foretold in the Old Testament prophecies, and believe in subsequent New Testament scripture. Christians in general believe that Jesus is the incarnation or Son of God. Their creeds generally hold in common that the incarnation, ministry, suffering, death on the cross, and resurrection of Jesus was for the salvation of mankind.

Islam believes the present Christian and Jewish scriptures have been corrupted over time and are no longer the original divine revelations as given to the Jewish people and to Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. For Muslims, the Quran is the final, complete revelation from God (Arabic الله Allah), who believe it to have been revealed to Muhammad alone, who is believed by Muslims to be the final prophet of Islam, and the Khatam an-Nabiyyin, meaning the last of the prophets ever sent by Allah ("seal of the prophets").

Based on the Muslim figure of the Mahdī, the ultimate savior of humankind and the final Imām of the Twelve Imams, Ali Muhammad Shirazi, later known as Bab, created the Bábí movement out of the belief that he was the gate to the Twelfth Imām. This signaled a break with Islam and started a new religious system, Bábism. However, in the 1860s a split occurred after which the vast majority of Bábís who considered Mirza Husayn `Ali or Bahá'u'lláh to be Báb's spiritual successor founded the Bahá'í Movement, while the minority who followed Subh-i-Azal came to be called Azalis. The Bahá'í division eventually became a full-fledged religion of its own, the Bahá'í Faith. In comparison to the other Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the number of adherents for Bahá'í faith and other minor Abrahamic religions are not very significant.

Out of the three major Abrahamic faiths, Christianity and Judaism are the two religions that diverge the most in theology and practice.

The historical interaction of Islam and Judaism started in the 7th century CE with the origin and spread of Islam. There are many common aspects between Islam and Judaism, and as Islam developed, it gradually became the major religion closest to Judaism. As opposed to Christianity, which originated from interaction between ancient Greek, Roman, and Hebrew cultures, Judaism is very similar to Islam in its fundamental religious outlook, structure, jurisprudence and practice. There are many traditions within Islam originating from traditions within the Hebrew Bible or from post-biblical Jewish traditions. These practices are known collectively as the Isra'iliyat.

The historical interaction between Christianity and Islam connects fundamental ideas in Christianity with similar ones in Islam. Islam accepts many aspects of Christianity as part of its faithwith some differences in interpretationand rejects other aspects. Islam believes the Quran is the final revelation from God and a completion of all previous revelations, including the Bible.

Mandaeism, sometimes also known as Sabianism (after the mysterious Sabians mentioned in the Quran, a name historically claimed by several religious groups), is a Gnostic and monotheistic religion. John the Baptist is their chief prophet and frequent baptism is part of their core beliefs. According to most scholars, Mandaeism originated sometime in the first three centuries CE, in either southwestern Mesopotamia or the Syro-Palestinian area. However, some scholars take the view that Mandaeism is older and dates from pre-Christian times. Mandaeans assert that their religion predates Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a monotheistic faith. Mandaeans believe that they descend directly from Shem, Noah's son, and also from John the Baptist's original disciples.

Iranian religions

Several important religions and religious movements originated in Greater Iran, that is, among speakers of various Iranian languages. They include Zoroastrianism, Mithraism, Ætsæg Din, Yazdanism, Ahl-e Haqq, Zurvanism, Manichaeism, and Mazdakism.

Perhaps one of the most important religions to have come out of Iran was Zoroastrianism. While not, properly speaking, a world religion, it became widespread in the Iranian world, especially through the Achaemenid and Sasanian Empires. It went into decline alongside many Iranian religions with the rise of Islam and the Caliphates. The religion still survives today in small numbers, with a particularly notable example being the Parsis in India.

Scholars have often noted the similarities between Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic religions, especially Christianity. They've particularly noted this due to the historic relationship between the Jews and the Zoroastrian Persian Empires, as well as the relationship between Greek philosophy, Persia, and Christianity. They've debated whether Zoroastrianism played an influencing role on these religions or not. Particular areas of concern are a shared sense of duality between the forces of good and evil, or light and darkness. In addition to this, there is a shared belief in the resurrection of the dead as well as an emphasis on free will and the moral responsibility of mankind. These are seen by some as having influenced the three major Abrahamic faiths as well as Gnosticism and the Bahá'í Faith.

Manichaeism is another Iranian faith that shares many similarities to Zoroastrianism. In fact, Manichaeism shares a belief in the prophethood of Zoroaster while also maintaining the prophethood of Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ. It shares a dualist cosmology that pits good and light against evil and darkness, with an adversary to oppose the benevolent God. Manichaeism and Mandaeism also share a common belief in many of the figures and stories of the Abrahamic faiths, which has raised questions of influences and origins.

Indian religions

In comparative religion, Indian religions are all the religions that originated in South Asia. It is thought that "the kinship of the religions of India stems from the fact that Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs look back to Hinduism as their common mother."

Al-Biruni deeply studied the Vedic religions and through his works essential details about pre-11th century India's religions and cultures were found. Adi Shankaracharya was an early 8th century philosopher and theologian who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta. Gautama Buddha is mentioned as an Avatar of Vishnu in the Puranic texts of Hinduism. Most Hindus believe the Buddha accepted and incorporated many tenets of Hinduism in his doctrine. Prominent modern Hindu reformers such as Mahatma Gandhi and Vivekananda acknowledge Buddhist influence. Like Hindus, Gandhi himself did not believe Buddha established a non-Hindu tradition. He writes, "I do not regard Jainism or Buddhism as separate from Hinduism."

East Asian or Taoic religions

A Taoic religion is a religion, or religious philosophy, that focuses on the East Asian concept of Tao ("The Way"). This forms a large group of eastern religions including Taoism, Confucianism, Jeung San Do, Shintoism, I-Kuan Tao, Chondogyo, and Chen Tao. In large parts of East Asia, Buddhism has taken on some taoic features.

Tao can be roughly stated to be the flow of the universe, or the force behind the natural order. It is believed to be the influence that keeps the universe balanced and ordered and is associated with nature, due to a belief that nature demonstrates the Tao. The flow of Ch'i, as the essential energy of action and existence, is compared to the universal order of Tao. Following the Tao is also associated with a "proper" attitude, morality and lifestyle. This is intimately tied to the complex concept of De, or literally "virtue" or "power." De is the active expression of Tao.

Taoism and Ch'an Buddhism for centuries had a mutual influence on each other in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. These influences were inherited by Zen Buddhism when Ch'an Buddhism arrived in Japan and adapted as Zen Buddhism.

Despite being too far from each other to have had any influence, some have historically noted similarities between traditional Chinese religious beliefs and Christianity. This was noted by Jesuit missionaries who became known as figurists. Figurists promoted the idea that the ancient Chinese knew the truth of Christian revelation and that many of the figures described in Chinese texts are actually figures and concepts from Christianity. Noted parallels include shared flood myths, similarities between Fu Xi and Enoch, as well as parallels between Christ and the sages. There is also a noted similarity between the Tao being "the Way" as well as Christ claiming to be "the Way."

While scholarship rejects this view today, it was a notable view in the history of comparative religion. These beliefs were ultimately opposed and disavowed by the Catholic Church in the 18th century.

The introduction of Nestorian Christianity to China under the Tang dynasty also led to increasing similarities between Chinese Buddhism and Nestorian Christianity. Christians began using Buddhist and Taoist concepts to explain their faith. During this time the Jingjiao documents were created, sometimes called sutras, that demonstrated the blending of Christianity with Buddhism. The two also formed a monastic tradition that furthered the similarities. This fusion became so heavy that when Emperor Wuzong of the Tang dynasty began persecuting Buddhists in the 9th century, he claimed that Christianity was merely a heresy of Buddhism rather than its own religion. This equation of the two led to the collapse of Nestorian Christianity in China alongside the persecution of Buddhism.

With the coming release of 2 Hour Dungeon Crawl, I thought it might be a good idea to whip out Warrior Heroes: Legends and throw together some stats for the crew based on – well, the horrible nature that you know we all share. You know, the accumulated cruft of more than a decade of knowing each other?
I'm also digging around in the previous WH version, Warrior Heroes: Armies and Adventures which has a significantly broader setting description, mainly for inspiration on where folks hail from, but you don't need that any more than you need a copy of a Forgotten Realms reference to enjoy D&D parody stuff. Don't be silly.

Q: GMSMapView show blank map I add GMSMapView into my screen but I only can see my position icon and the marker i added. Why i cant see the road, building, etc?
Here is my code :
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.cameraWithLatitude(latitude,
longitude: longitude, zoom: 11.5)
let mapView = GMSMapView.mapWithFrame(CGRectZero, camera: camera)

mapView.myLocationEnabled = true
mapView.settings.myLocationButton = true

self.view = mapView

var marker = GMSMarker()
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(location.latitude, location.longitude)
marker.title = location.name
marker.snippet = location.address
marker.map = mapView

Any suggestion?

A: One of the main reason to have a blank map is that the key is not set properly
Did you set the API key correctly.
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:yourAPIKey];

A: I had the same issue and API key was correct. The reason was in this lines of code
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:@"ru" forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

This test method covers the determination of the water-soluble sulfate ion content in soil. This standard is divided into two parts. The first part specifies the procedure for sampling and preparing the sample to size for testing. The second part delineates two test procedures for the determination of the sulfate ion content in soils. The selection of the method is dependent on the concentration of sulfate ion and the accuracy desired.

After a scary and emotional week for newlyweds Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, the couple is breaking their silence on the Blink-182 drummer's recent hospitalization.
On Tuesday, Barker was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with Kardashian by his side. And while the reason was unknown at the time, Barker and his wife are now shedding light on his mystery illness. Taking to his Instagram Story on Saturday afternoon, Travis revealed that after going in for an endoscopy this week, he "developed excruciating pain" and later learned that he had "severe life-threatening pancreatitis."

"During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube," he explained. "This resulted in severe life-threatening pancreatitis." He added that he's doing "much better."
Kardashian also shared an update on her own Instagram account. "Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change," the reality star began her message. "Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis." The Poosh founder went on to say that she's "so grateful to God for healing my husband," as well as the doctors and nurses at Cedars-Sinai. She concluded, "It's crazy how sometimes words could never truly express the gratitude or feelings I have inside of me."

A source previously told People that Kourtney was "worried" and refused to leave Travis's side at the hospital. "He was complaining of cramps," another insider told the outlet. "Kourtney was worried yesterday. They both were. Travis was suffering from extreme stomach pain and could barely walk."

Many people have some traits that not only affect their personality but also play a major role in sabotaging their attempts at self-improvement. If you have been trying, for the longest time, to make progress in your life but keep failing, chances are that you're going about it the wrong way.
You need to stop using phrases such as "I'm kind of busy today" and "I'll start next week". Being a procrastinator will cost you a lot of your precious time that you could have otherwise spent doing some productive work.
The sooner you get started on your self-improvement journey, the better off you'll be.
We are not all blessed equally; everyone has unique strengths. When you compare yourself to others, you end up feeling like all your efforts are wasting away.
Focusing on your own path will help you make your tomorrow better than your today.
Trust yourself the first time you make a decision. It's highly likely that the choice you make is the best so you better stop second-guessing yourself.
Self-doubt is a huge challenge for anyone hoping to make successful self-improvement.
Any good plan is nothing without action. You cannot just sit, do nothing and expect that success will find you. No, it won't happen! You will have the best shot at successful self-improvement if you make the effort.
First, you need to keep in mind that self-improvement doesn't happen overnight. You have to set goals and come up with a plan.
Ensure that your goals are smart. Before you set out on your self-improvement journey, you need to make sure that your goals make sense.
You should also include as many baby steps as possible in your plan. These will, ultimately, help you to achieve your goals.
Show me a successful person and I will show you someone who has failed the most. To be successful, you have to persevere. You have to see each failure as a lesson.
Basically, anyone who isn't failing at something is not making any kind of improvement. It doesn't matter how many times you fail, just don't give up. In the end, your success will stand out.
It's okay to fear; just don't let it conquer you. Do not give power to any situation that you're afraid of.
Once you overcome the fear, you'll be surprised at how much potential you have in you.
If the people in your circle don't help you grow, it's about time that you replaced them with people who add value to your life.
The company you keep plays a major impact in determining whether or not you achieve self-improvement success.
Multitasking is not a very bad thing, right? Sometimes, however, when you try to do so many things at the same time you end up getting distracted.
It's, therefore, very important that you find a single thing that interests you and pay full attention to it. When you focus on whatever it is that you're doing, you definitely get better results.
This article had great insights on some of the things that hinder me from getting started earlier than I should. Touching on the subjects of fear and doubting oneself are extremely important during collegiate years. It's a time where one is developing into oneself and the constant questioning of "is this the right decision" or "will this lead me in the right direction" can be daunting. Sometimes…small reminders like this truly help. Thanks Practice U!

During Open Lines, Tim in Jacksonville, Florida recalled a UFO sighting he had in 1995. According to Tim, the object made no noise as it flew slowly through the sky. It seemed to be aware of his presence, he added. Tim said he could just make out the frame of the craft before it flew away at a fantastic rate of speed. He is convinced the object was not a helicopter or airplane.
'Anonymous' claimed to have been involved in surveillance operations along the East/West German border in the early 1980s, when he was asked to interview an Army aircraft crew that narrowly escaped a midair collision with a mysterious black object. The caller said the object was about half the size of a Predator drone and later identified as an unmanned aerial vehicle from the other side.
Actor Doug Hutchison, known for his roles as Percy Wetmore in The Green Mile and Horace Goodspeed on "Lost," phoned in to announce his new web series about vampire hunters. Check it out at vampirekillers.tv.
Some callers also phoned in to sing Happy Birthday to Coast producer, Tom Danheiser. The final half hour featured George's 6/13/08 interview with writer Marc Zicree and Anne Serling, daughter of The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling.
In the first hour, expert on energy healing, Shelley Kaehr talked about the power of gems and minerals. According to Kaehr, certain stones can shift the vibrational frequency of a person's body to create healing. She recounted the story of man who used a bloodstone to help cure a serious lung condition. Kaehr thinks the chlorite in the bloodstone may be at least partially responsible for its healing properties, but also admitted there could be a more metaphysical reason for why and how it works.
At the top of the show, financial advisor Catherine Austin Fitts commented on the recent conviction of Wall Street wizard turned swindler Bernard Madoff. Fitts thinks Madoff had numerous accomplices and his plea deal was designed to leave no trail back to them.
Appearing briefly in the second hour, researcher Bill Warwick spoke about the "Phoenix Lights," a UFO incident witnessed by hundreds of people throughout Arizona on March 13, 1997. Warwick said the huge size of the object precludes it from being a human-made craft, and believes the event (and others like it) demonstrates that Earth is being visited by intelligent extraterrestrial beings.
A man confined to a wheelchair for the last 20 years can walk again after being bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider. The potentially deadly bite put paraplegic David Blancarte in the hospital, where a nurse noticed his leg spasm and ran a test on him. Five days later Blancarte was walking. More details and video from CBS 13.

Q: Selecting rows from Access database by date search criteria in VB.NET form I have a very simple problem. I have a couple of datepicker controls on my VB.NET form and users select "startDate" and "endDate", and all rows from the related table are displayed which have an orderDate between the user's selected start and end dates.
The following is the relevant code:
Private Sub generate_report_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles generate_report.Click
    Try
        Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
        con.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\KHMSDB.accdb"
        con.Open()
        Dim sql As String
        Dim selected As String = ""
        Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet

        Dim adapter As New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
        sql = "SELECT OrderDate AS `Order Date and Time`, Items AS `Ordered Items` FROM Orders WHERE Format(Orders.OrderDate,'mm/dd/yyyy') >= #" + startDate.Value.Date + "# AND Format(Orders.OrderDate,'mm/dd/yyyy') <= #" + endDate.Value.Date + "#"
        adapter.SelectCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(sql, con)
        adapter.Fill(ds)
        gridReport.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)

    Catch ex As Exception

        MsgBox("Operation failed. " + ex.ToString)

    End Try

If I save a new row in the database under today's date, and I leave the "start" and "end" dates both as the default date (i.e. today's date), it doesn't show the new row I just saved. The new row entered today only shows up if I move the "start date" up to the 30th of November. Then I add a new row with date 12th December. Again, it won't show up when I select the end date to be >= 12 December, it'll only show up when I move the start date up to 1st December. I decided to enter a row dated 21st November, and running the query with start and end date both on 21st November shows up that row. I then entered a new row in January 8th.. and now any combination of moving up startDate and or moving down endDate just doesn't display the January order. What's going on?? I've actually already tried this code out before in November and it worked perfectly fine!

A: What could be the issue with this is the string format. I'm not sure if Access will convert the string to a Date and then compare or convert the Date to a string and then compare. You can try this:
Format(Orders.OrderDate,'mm/dd/yyyy') >= Format(#" + startDate.Value.Date + "#,'mm/dd/yyyy')
Or you could always just use the date directly,
OrderDate >= #" + startDate.Value.Date + "#"
Edit:, to do my due diligence, you really should be doing the query like this
OrderDate >= @StartDate

Then add this code
adapter.Parameters.Add("@StartDate", startDate.Value.Date);

Using parameters is important for robust code and to avoid the dreaded SQL injection attack.
