New Caledonia's independence referendum: A reminder of local realities
Noumea — Against New Caledonia's troubled history, Foreign Minister Marise Payne's statement was highly appropriate, expressing Australia's acknowledgement of the achievement by the French government and local parties in a momentous vote on Nov. 4. The vote is the first step of the final phase of a genuine, agreed self-determination process.
The fact of the independence vote taking place at all, the unprecedented turnout of over 80 percent of eligible voters, the strong participation of the young, especially young Kanaks, and the peaceful relaxed atmosphere (at least during polling hours) are remarkable enough.
But the result, 56.4 percent against and 43.6 percent in favor of independence, is a timely reminder to the three principal players – France, the independence, and loyalist groups – of local realities and the seriousness of the task ahead.
The narrow result, because it differed radically from limited opinion polling, and statements by loyalists suggesting a 65–70 percent win for staying with France, was reported by many as surprising. In fact, it reflects the current disposition of parties in the local Congress (loyalists hold 53.7 percent of the 54 seats, independence groups 46.29 percent).
The real significance of the result is that Kanaks turned out in large numbers and overwhelmingly voted for independence. The French State voter list showed that people of "customary status" (Kanaks) represented 46 percent of voters. The pattern of voting – strong turnouts and support for independence of 80–90 percent in Kanak heartlands – suggests that the 43.6 percent supporting independence were Kanak. Thus, only around 3 percent of Kanaks appear to have favored staying with France.
The Matignon/Noumea Accords which won peace on a promise of a transition phase endowing new institutions and handovers of certain powers was seen by independence leaders as giving themselves time to develop experience in economic and administrative management to prepare them for independence. It was seen by France and loyalists as a period during which they could convince independence supporters to stay with France.
The results show clearly that despite impressive efforts by France and its supporters, the vast majority of the Kanak people are not yet convinced to remain French.
As indigenous people, they are not going anywhere, and they have regional interest and support through the Melanesian Spearhead Group and the Pacific Islands Forum, the latter sending an observer team to the vote.
What does the result mean for the future?
Independence leaders negotiated Noumea Accord provisions for up to two further independence votes if the answer is "no" first time round. Provided one-third of the Congress agrees (and they have always held at least that many seats), a second vote can be held in 2020 and a third on the same basis in 2022, after which France must conduct discussions about the future.
Because all indigenous people can vote in these referendums, but only non-Kanak with longstanding connections to New Caledonia can do so, independence leaders are banking on 18-year old Kanaks becoming eligible in that period to boost their support. They worked hard on mobilizing young Kanaks this time, with clear success.
Already loyalists are propounding legal change to prevent those two votes, an unconscionable prospect for independence leaders. France's Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has reaffirmed the provisions, barring a "strong consensus" against them. The atmosphere will sharpen as parties prepare for the May 2019 provincial elections, which could reshape the political balance in this final stage of the Accord.
Since polls closed, there has been a constant round of stoning and setting fire to cars in several areas. A road blockade at historically troubled St Louis between Noumea and a wealthy suburb saw young Kanaks throwing Molotov cocktails at police, a similar incident at Paita involving gunfire. Many young Kanaks have missed out on the considerable benefits of the Accord.
Philippe flew into this uneasy situation and reiterated his message of dialogue, convening a meeting of the Committee of Noumea Accord Signatories in early December in Paris. He put the question of economic and social inequalities at the top of the agenda, admitting that exchanges so far under the Accords had given these issues insufficient priority.
The bottom line is that, notwithstanding majority support for staying with France, the interests of the sizeable minority favoring independence who are indigenous Kanaks must be considered, hopefully around a dialogue table which will look at the final and most significant areas of difference left after the Noumea Accord transition years. To this extent, the main game becomes the discussion, albeit punctuated by two more independence votes.
At the minimum, it is to be hoped that by 2022 agreement can be reached on a new New Caledonia, one that builds on existing institutions and powers under the Accords, which it keeps, and that will meet the wishes of the loyalist and independence groups alike.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has described the \'unprecedented\' turnout of almost 85% in the election as a \'political quake\' for the enemy. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said high turnout in the election, which witnessed more than 40 million Iranians casting their votes, was a great manifestation of people\'s solidarity with the Islamic establishment. Addressing Friday prayers congregation, Ayatollah Khamenei said that last Friday\'s election indicated a \'common sense of responsibility\' of the Iranian nation to determine the future of the country. The Leader added that all those who took part in the election proved their \'political consciousness and commitment\' towards the establishment to the whole world. The Leader said the high voter turnout in the election was a \'political quake\' for the enemy and a \'real celebration\' for the friends of the country. \"The Islamic Republic of Iran will by no means betray the votes of the nation,\" the Leader said, adding the legal system of the election will not allow any ballot rigging in Iran. Ayatollah Khamenei, however, maintained that the Guardian Council, the body tasked with overseeing the election, would look into the complaints of the candidates who are unhappy with the election results. The Leader also added that the establishment would never give-in to illegal demands, urging all presidential candidates to pursue their complaints through legal channels. Ayatollah Khamenei called for an end to illegal street protests aimed at reversing the result of the election. Following the announcement of the election outcome, supporters of the defeated candidate Mir-Hussein Mousavi-who rejected the election results-- took to the streets of Tehran and other cities in daily rallies. The Leader also warned against attempts made by foreign media outlets seeking to destabilize the country and blamed Britain in particular. Ayatollah Khamenei also decried the slander of former and incumbent top officials in pre-election debates by candidates. President Ahmadinejad was re-elected the next president of the country with over 60% percent of the votes. He won over his three rivals Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohsen Rezaei with almost 25 million votes. The Leader said the time is over for rivalry, stressing that all should unite and line up behind the president-elect

Israeli security forces stormed al Aqsa mosque compound on Tuesday in order to disperse protesters and Muslims praying in the compound. The attacks came ahead of a Knesset debate on a bill that would determine the future status Islam\'s third holiest site. The debate was initiated in the Israeli Knesset by right-wing extremist members who suggested that the al Aqsa mosque compound be partitioned into two -- one for Jewish and the other for Muslim worshippers. They further suggested that the Israeli authorities take full sovereignty of the mosque by relinquishing control from the Jordanian authorities, who have been the protectors of the Mosque for 20 years.

Secret Esoteric Dimensions of Wudhu (Ritual Ablution) | REFLECT Wudhu is a washing process that Muslims perform 5 times a day and it is compulsory to be in the state of wudhu before touching the holy texts or praying. But how often do we contemplate over the hidden, mystical meaning behind the action of Wudhu? Islamic Pulse's new show, hosted by Shaykh Farukh Sekaleshfar, explores the hidden, esoteric dimensions of the Wudhu. It is a great misconception to assume that the rituals prescribed by Islam are merely physical, but rather, for every outer action, there is an inner, deeper reality. Inshallah, this will be the first of many shows exploring the often neglected hidden realities according to the mystics (urafa) and gnostics, grounded firmly in the Quran and Ahadith.

Supreme Leader's Speech to Hajj Officials Print 22/08/2015 The following is the full text of a speech delivered on August 22, 2015 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with hajj officials. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Dear brothers and sisters, welcome. You hajj officials are in charge of one of the most beautiful and glorious responsibilities, namely making preparations for our faithful people to attend hajj, which is a unique Islamic obligation. I would also like to express my gratitude to the brothers and sisters in charge of hajj affairs, who – as Mr. Qazi Askar and the esteemed head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization pointed out – have made certain arrangements for the betterment of hajj pilgrimage for Iranian believers. And this is exactly what needs to be done. It is necessary to improve on a daily basis and facilitate the achievement of the noble goals of hajj. It is necessary to work hard. Each one of you dear brothers and sisters has a responsibility to fulfill. Each one of you has a role to play. You should try to play your role in the best possible way, with motivation, patience and enthusiasm. The efforts that you make will produce a great outcome: that is to say, the people will be able to perform hajj appropriately. My advice is that hajj does not exclusively belong to Iranians. Hajj belongs to Islam and to the Islamic Ummah and it guarantees the prevailing of Islam. God's respect for the months in which hajj pilgrimages take place shows how great and significant hajj ceremonies are. It shows that this Islamic obligation enjoys a quality that other Islamic obligations do not enjoy. It is necessary to pay attention to this point. The interesting point is that hajj has two complementary aspects: an individual aspect and a social aspect. It is necessary to pay attention to both aspects. The individual aspect of hajj belongs to individual hajj pilgrims. Each hajj pilgrim should establish a relationship with Allah the Exalted during his pilgrimage and he should repent and take spiritual provisions for himself. In a holy ayah relating to hajj, piety has been advised. "Surely the provision is the guarding of oneself, and be careful (of your duty) to Me, O men of understanding" [The Holy Quran, 2: 197]. Each and every one of the honorable pilgrims who are blessed with this great opportunity should think of how to make the best of this provision. "And you that ask forgiveness of your Lord, then turn to Him" [The Holy Quran, 11: 3]. Hajj pilgrims should repent. They should pray. They should ask Allah the Exalted for whatever they need. They should make a covenant with Allah the Exalted to remain committed to their future, their lives and their activities. This is the individual aspect of hajj. As far as this individual aspect of hajj is concerned, every hajj pilgrim should try to move closer to Allah the Exalted on his pilgrimage. He should cleanse his heart. He should take provisions for the rest of his life. Spiritual blessings for individual pilgrims originate from this pilgrimage, from these rituals, from these days. Hajj pilgrims should appreciate the value of this opportunity. There are certain things that an individual can achieve only during hajj pilgrimage. Seeing Ka'bah is worship. Tawaf around Ka'bah is worship. Praying in Masjid ul-Haraam is worship. Visiting the shrine of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) is worship. Arafat is an arena for speaking to God. Mash'ar is an arena for attention to God. The same is true of Mina. Pilgrims should make use of each and every one of these elements to cleanse their hearts, to improve their spiritual status and to take provisions for the rest of their lives. This is the individual aspect of hajj. The other aspect of hajj is the social aspect. Hajj is the manifestation of Islamic unity. People with different skin colors, people from different nationalities, people with different identities, people from different Islamic denominations, people with different tendencies – all of them gather in one place as equals. They all perform Tawaf together. They all work together. They all stay in Arafat and Mash'ar. This unity is very important. Islamic solidarity is the true manifestation of harmony and unanimity during hajj, not just for the people of Iran, but also for all Muslims throughout the world, for the Islamic Ummah. God's curse be upon those who sideline the truth of the Islamic Ummah, those who divert attention away from the importance of the Islamic Ummah, those who divide Muslims into different groups with different goals, those who magnify nationalities against the glory of the Islamic Ummah and those who create division within the Iranian nation. The Islamic Ummah is important. Glory belongs to the Islamic Ummah. Allah the Exalted will bestow His mercy and blessings on the Islamic Ummah. Hajj is a manifestation of the Islamic Ummah: it is the Islamic Ummah in microcosm. "Coming from every remote path" [The Holy Quran, 22: 27]. Muslims come together from different parts of the world and from remote places. And what a great opportunity for communicating with each other, for unity with one another, for listening to each other's sufferings, for expressing sympathy. Apart from hajj, when do Muslims get such an opportunity? The issue of unity is one of the social dimensions of hajj. Showing the greatness of the Islamic Ummah is another social dimension of hajj. The fact that several million Muslims gather in one place to attend a particular ceremony shows the greatness of the Islamic Ummah. From a country whose population is seventy, eighty million, around fifty, sixty, seventy thousand people come together and form a glorious gathering. This shows the greatness of the Islamic Ummah. Another dimension is the sharing of experiences among hajj pilgrims. Many Islamic countries have certain experiences. For example, the Iranian nation has certain experiences in confronting the enemy, in identifying the enemy, in refusing to trust the enemy, in distinguishing friends from enemies. We have experience in these areas. We did not make a mistake in distinguishing friends from enemies. From the beginning of the Revolution to this day, we have been aware that the real enemy, the aggressive, stubborn and persistent enemy is the world of global arrogance and Zionism. We have been aware of this. Sometimes this archenemy has spoken through other people. We must not make a mistake and think that those who are speaking for the enemy are the real enemy. No, as I stressed earlier, the real enemy is the arrogant powers. Take a look at the slogans that the people of Iran chant on the 22nd of Bahman, on Quds Day and in different other rallies. Their slogans are against the arrogant powers, against America, against the Zionists, against the usurping Zionist regime. They chant slogans against these elements. This is while these enemies sometimes use certain Islamic countries to say and do what they want. But we never chanted slogans against those Islamic countries. Our people have not chanted slogans against those Islamic countries. Why? The reason is that they know who the real enemy is. They know that those Islamic countries have been deceived and used as a tool. This shows insight in identifying the real enemy. This is our experience. Certain Islamic groups that were provided with great opportunities in certain Islamic countries, did not have this experience and they made a mistake as a result. They made peace with the real enemy and worked against their friends. And they paid the price for this. Allah the Exalted had provided them with a blessing and they failed to appreciate its value. Creating unity is another experience of the Iranian nation. There are many differences of opinion in our country. There are many differences and disagreements in political, intellectual and ideological areas, but our people have managed to preserve their unity despite these disagreements. Certain parts of our country are populated by particular ethnic groups, but those ethnic groups take part in the rallies on the 22nd of Bahman and Quds Day as well as in different other demonstrations that are rooted in the Islamic Revolution, just like other people throughout the country. We have Kurdish, Baluchi, Arab and Azeri regions in the country. In certain cases, their actions in support of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic are more outstanding than other regions in the country. We have seen examples of such actions. This is Islamic unity and the Iranian nation has experienced it. For thirty-five, thirty-six years, we have experienced the importance of unity among the people and we have made great achievements thanks to this unity. Certain other countries never realized the importance of this unity and they are still unaware of it. Because of a small disagreement – which is rooted in religious, ethnic or political differences – they turn against each other and attack each other as if they were enemies. As a result, Allah the Exalted takes His blessing away from them. "Have you not seen those who have changed Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s favor for ungratefulness and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition (even into) hell? They shall enter into it and an evil place it is to settle in" [The Holy Quran, 14: 28-29]. When we fail to appreciate the value of a divine blessing, when we show ingratitude, Allah the Exalted changes the way He treats us. "This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition" [The Holy Quran, 8: 53]. As long as we move ahead on the right path, as long as we submit to the will of God to the extent that our limited capacities allow us, Allah the Exalted will continue His blessings, but when we work against ourselves, when we sow discord, when we hatch plots against each other, when we start fighting each other, Allah the Exalted will take away His blessings. God does not discriminate in favor of anybody. "This is because Allah has never changed a favor which He has conferred upon a people until they change their own condition". Allah the Exalted does not take away a blessing that He has bestowed on you unless you prepare the ground for that. Once you have prepared the ground for yourself to be deprived of a blessing, Allah the Exalted will take away that blessing. The Iranian people have the experience of preserving divine blessings for themselves. These experiences should be shared. Today Islamic countries are faced with conspiracy. Do we understand this or not? Today there is conspiracy against Islam, not against Shia or Sunni Islam or against any other Islamic denomination. The Holy Quran belongs to Islam. Shia Islam is not the center that clearly promotes "Allah will by no means give the unbelievers a way against the believers" [The Holy Quran, 4: 141]. It is the Holy Quran! It is Islam! For this reason, the enemies are opposed to Islam. They are opposed to any center and any voice that awakens peoples. They are opposed to any hand that fights the arrogant powers and that hand is the hand of Islam. That voice is the voice of Islam. Therefore, they are opposed to Islam. There are different methods to confront and oppose Islam. There are different types of methods. They sit down together and think. They try to find ways to infiltrate and to harm. During the early years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, we were informed that the Zionist regime had funded a group of people to come together and think about Islam and the Shia denomination, to study and to investigate. What was the purpose? Their studies and investigations were aimed at finding ways of countering this great element, this awakening and this Islamic vigilance. The purpose of those investigations was to find a way to harm Muslim peoples who had awakened and realized that they had the power to take action. They spent a lot of money on the plan. This was only one of the things that they did. Tens of centers – we know about some them and we can infer the existence of several others – were established in Europe, America, occupied Palestinian lands and certain dependent countries that are controlled by the arrogant powers and the purpose was to find ways of countering Islam. For this reason, they believe it is necessary to foment discord, to give rise to violence, to tarnish the name of Islam, to dismember Islamic countries, to turn Muslim nations against each other and to pit members of a nation against each other. One day the means of doing so is Blackwater from America and another day the means is DAESH from Iraq, Syria and other places. They look for the means to create discord. These are our experiences. These are the things that the people of Iran have experienced and seen up close. When we stress the issue of unity among different Islamic denominations, between Shia and Sunni Islam and between different Muslim nations, we are not just paying lip service to Muslim unity. We have identified the malady. We care about the Islamic Ummah and this is why we pursue Muslim unity. As far as the people of Iran are concerned, the importance of unity has been established, but many other nations have not realized the importance of this unity. Hajj is an opportunity to convey this understanding to other nations and spread the message. Of course, there are certain people who are opposed to this. Those who want these disagreements to prevail do not want these interactions, these relationships, these friendships and this sharing of experiences to take place among Muslims. It is necessary to find the appropriate ways. One of the important things that should be done during hajj is to take care of the individual and social aspects of hajj. When we stress the social aspect of hajj, this should not encourage us to ignore the individual aspect, namely solemn praying, humility before God and dua. Hajj is a good opportunity. There is no place like Masjid ul-Haraam. There is no place like Masjid un-Nabi. This opportunity has been provided for you and for hajj pilgrims. It would be a pity to deprive oneself of this blessing and roam around in the bazaar and visit this and that store. It was announced that there have been efforts to prevent hajj pilgrims from roaming the bazaars. However, I have received reports that unfortunately some of our hajj pilgrims are suffering from this problem. They visit different shops and meet different local businessmen and they buy junk at twice the normal price and fly back to Tehran or other cities. This is wrong, absolutely wrong. Our people should pay attention to the fact that this is wrong. Shopping is something that can be done anywhere. One can roam the marketplace anywhere in the world. One can buy stuff anywhere. One can waste money like that anywhere. After all, what is done is basically throwing away money and one can throw away money anywhere. During hajj, it is necessary to go after the kind of things that cannot be done somewhere else. Those things include looking at Ka'bah, praying in Masjid ul-Haraam and kissing the footprint of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) used to walk around in that city. He used to speak in that city. The atmosphere of that city reverberates with the voice of the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.). It would be a pity if one failed to immerse oneself in this atmosphere. This is not something that can be found somewhere else in the world. Our hajj pilgrims should appreciate these things, otherwise it is possible to roam the bazaars, go sightseeing and do other such things in any other part of the world as well. One can do the same things in Tehran, in Isfahan, in Tabriz or in Mashhad. It is possible to do these things anywhere in the world. Go after the kind of things that cannot be done in other places, the kind of things that can only be done during hajj. These are my recommendations. I hope Allah the Exalted provides all of you with the opportunity to perform a pilgrimage that is acceptable to Him. And we ask you pray for us. Greetings be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings

Amir Mehdi Kazemi, Press TV, Tehran These are familiar scenes nowadays in Iran as millions celebrate the birthday of Imam Mahdi the twelfth and the last Imam of Shiite Muslims. Every year streets and villages across Iran are illuminated on the fifteenth of the month of Sha'aban in the lunar calendar. Additionally special ceremonies are held in Iran's most religious cities Mashad, and Qom. Based on Shiite faith the twelfth Imam lives among his people but remains unknown until the day he reappears as a savior of mankind, filling the world with his blessings. According to the belief of Shiites and some Sunnis Imam Mahdi is hidden by God and will unite all Muslims at the time of his reappearance. They say that upon his arrival he will be accompanied by a number of holy men including Jesus Christ… During the night of the occasion the believers gather outside their homes. They fill the streets celebrating the event while seeking forgiveness and repenting to God, praying that their hidden Imam will rid the world of error, injustice and tyranny. The 15th of Sha'ban is also marked in other countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

"Business of a Great Leader Resemble in his Answers when he Speaks" starring a coward man named Musharraf, who 1st degrades his own country when asked a question portraying Pakistan as a country of barbarians and animals where things happen in probably an animalistic way then on a second question about whether or not he'll catch Bin Laden (who doesn't even exist) on US Orders, is more than happy to do so, and render any services US shall require. I would like to seriously contend, that THIS IS HOW A GREAT LEADER SPEAKS ... A man, who cannot stand the TRUTH is not worthy of being called a Leader like the man named Musharraf. He is one coward about whom Israeli Foreign Minister said on record, and I quote .. "Being a Proud and Staunch Jewish, Never in my Life I could even dream I would be praying for the life of a Muslim, but now I do .. for Musharraf" This shows the state of slavery that man has pushed his nation into, no matter how confidently he can answer the journalists, because it doesn't matter. Being able to Answer confidently, when you're not even standing with the truth is no metric to measure LEADERSHIP. A True Leader is one who stands for a CAUSE, not for others' causes .. He is the one who Stands for Truth, because even if you are in the Minority of ONE, Truth.. shall Still be the Truth ...

[20 July 2012] Spirituality of Ramadan in the modern life - English Muslim life style changes during the month of Ramadan. They refrain from eating, drinking and other pleasures, every day, from dawn to dusk. They instead try to nourish their souls by praying, reading the Quran and by doing charitable acts. Muslims around the world celebrate this month in many different ways, according to their local customs and cultures. This cultural diversity, while maintaining piety as the essence of Ramadan, is beautiful in itself. In Europe and other western countries, thanks to Muslim presence, Ramadan and its traditions have become more visible. Ramadan is also a good opportunity for non-Muslims to learn about Islam, the Quran and about this important pillar of Islam, especially when they are disillusioned by the materialistic, consumerist modern life styles. This week's Islam and Life asks: What can be learned from the spirituality of Ramadan in the modern life?

[27 July 2012] International Muslim charity organizations in today world - Islam And Life - English Muslims regard charitable giving as an important religious duty in their lives; many religious scholars place giving to charity alongside praying to God. This constitutes one of five Islam's pillars called zakah, an Arabic word for "purification". According to one estimate, citizens of Muslim countries give 10 percent of their income to charitable causes. However the Muslim charitable deeds lack a visible presence in the world. This could be mainly because Muslims are not allowed to advertise their charitable works. It is more virtues according to their belief to give charities anonymously. In recent years some large Muslim charities have entered the international arena. For example after the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 and the earthquake in Kashmir, 3 major Islamic charities in Britain offered 1.7 million pound of emergency relief. (Muslim Aids, Muslim Hands and Islamic Relief) The Muslim presence in the world of international, modern, professional charity was not always welcomed, most notably those involved in giving aids to the people of Palestine. This week's Islam and Life asks: How important is the role of international Muslim charity organizations in today's world?

Supreme Leader\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Speech to Participants of International Conference on Islamic Awakening 11/12/2012 The following is the full text of the speech delivered on December 11, 2012 by Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution at the International Conference of Muslim University Professors and Islamic Awakening. In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful First of all, I welcome you honorable guests who have come here from different countries and I also welcome the dear and honorable professors from our own universities. Since almost one and a half years ago until today, many meetings and conferences on Islamic Awakening have been held in Tehran, but I think that the International Conference of Muslim University Professors and Islamic Awakening has a special significance. This significance is because of the role of outstanding personalities and intellectuals in promoting new ideas in every society. They are the people who can lead a nation to salvation or to - God forbid - destruction. Unfortunately, the latter happened in certain countries, including our own country, over the last 70 or 80 years. There is a narration from the Holy Prophet (s.w.a.), Muhammad ibn Abdullah, which says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"The masses do not follow the right path unless outstanding personalities guide them towards it.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" When he was asked who these outstanding personalities are, he answered, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Religious scholars.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" Religious scholars were the first people whom he referred to as outstanding personalities and then he mentioned other groups of people. Therefore, university professors, luminaries and outstanding personalities can be the leaders of the people in every country, provided that they show purity and courage. They should not be afraid of the enemies. If they show fear, greed, negligence and laziness, they will fail to achieve the desired result. If they do not show fear, greed and negligence- if they show courage, then their efforts will achieve the desired result. During the early days of the Revolution, about thirty one years or thirty two years ago, I and two other people went from Tehran to Qom to meet Imam Khomeini (r.a.). At that time, he was still in Qom. We - who were members of the Revolutionary Council at that time - went there to ask for his opinion about a very important issue. When we explained to him what the issue was, Imam (r.a.) looked at us and asked, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Are you afraid of America?\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" We said, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"No\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Then he told us to implement our decision. Then we implemented our decision and we succeeded. If you show fear, greed and negligence and if you let deviant orientations play a role [in your decision-making], you will face serious problems. Today the entire world is faced with a great event. This great event is Islamic Awakening. This is a fact. Muslim nations and the Islamic Ummah have awakened. Today achieving domination over Muslim nations is not as easy as it used to be during the time after World War I and during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Today, if global arrogance wants to dominate Muslim peoples, they will face serious difficulties. Islamic Awakening has penetrated the Islamic Ummah which has resulted in a number of revolutions and the fall of corrupt and dependent regimes in certain countries. But this is only part of Islamic Awakening, not all of it. Islamic Awakening is a deep and widespread movement. Of course, the enemies are afraid of the phrase \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Islamic Awakening.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" They are trying not to let the phrase \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Islamic Awakening\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" be used to refer to the current great movement in the region. Why are they doing this? It is because they tremble with fear when they see genuine Islam. They do not fear the kind of Islam which is based on money, corruption, aristocracy and the kind of Islam which is not supported by the majority of people. But they are terrified when they see the kind of Islam which is supported by the majority of people and which is based on action, reliance on God and divine promises. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"And surely Allah will help him who helps His cause\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, 22: 40]. Whenever this kind of Islam emerges, whenever there are signs that this kind of Islam is approaching them, they tremble with fear. They are filled with fear \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"as if they were frightened donkeys, fleeing from a lion\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, 74: 50-51]. Therefore, they do not want the phrase \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Islamic Awakening\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" to be used. But we believe that the current great movement is a true example of Islamic Awakening and it has penetrated the world of Islam. This movement will continue in the future and it will not easily deviate from its path. We should identify the problems of these regional movements. This is the first point that I want to discuss with you. You should identify the problems of these movements and revolutions in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and similar countries. What are the dangers? What are the problems? Why do we say that these movements are Islamic in essence? Take a look at the people\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s slogans. Take a look at the role of Muslim believers in overthrowing corrupt regimes. If Muslim believers and Muslim groups who firmly believe in Islam and who are greatly respected by the people had not participated in these movements, these large public demonstrations would not have been held. The pressures that the people exerted, with their presence, on oppressive regimes like those of Hosni Mubarak and Ben Ali, completely destroyed their shaky foundations. They were Muslim peoples with Islamic slogans. The crucial role of Islamist parties in overthrowing these regimes is a clear proof that this movement is an Islamic movement. And whenever there was an election in these countries, the people voted for Islamist parties. They supported Islamic parties and they preferred them to other parties. Today, if a free election is held almost everywhere in the world of Islam - there may be a few exceptions - and if Islamist leaders and politicians participate in this election, the people will vote for Islamist politicians. This is the same everywhere in the world of Islam. Therefore, this movement is undoubtedly an Islamic movement. Well, I said that we should identify the problems in these movements. Besides identifying the problems, we should delineate the goals of these revolutions, otherwise there will be confusion. We should delineate these goals. One of the most important goals of Islamic Awakening is getting rid of global arrogance. We should announce this openly because it is wrong to think that global arrogance - headed by America - may get along with Islamic movements. Wherever Islam and supporters of Islam prevail, America does its best to destroy them while putting on a friendly smile. Regional revolutions have no other choice than distancing themselves from global arrogance. We do not say that they should go to war with America, but we say that they should determine what the position of America and global arrogance is on the recent events in the region. They should do this correctly because if they do not gain a proper understanding of their position, they will be deceived. Today, global arrogance is ruling over the world by using money, weapons and science. But it lacks new ideas and a road map. Today global arrogance has this big problem. It does not have any new ideas to help the people and intellectuals. But you do. You have Islam. When we have new ideas and a road map, we can delineate our goals and we can stand up against global arrogance. In this way, their weapons, their science and their money will not be effective as they were in the past. Of course, they will not be entirely ineffective, but we should think of ways to counter them - if there is time, I will explain more. Thus, in the first place, we should have new ideas, a road map and an ideology. We should know what we want to do. We should delineate the goals of Islamic Awakening. One of the important goals of Islamic Awakening, which regional developments should pay attention to, is to preserve the pivotal role of Islam. Islam should be the pivot. Islamic principles and sharia should be the pivot of things. There is an all-out effort to claim that sharia is not compatible with progress, change and civilization. This is what the enemy says. No, it is perfectly compatible. Of course, there are many people in the world of Islam who do not have enough knowledge of Islamic jurisprudence and who have supported the enemy\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s claim with their dogmatic and old-fashioned ideas. These people are Muslims, but they are at the service of the enemy. There are such people in Islamic countries which are located near us. They call themselves Muslims, but they do not have any new ideas about and any new outlook on Islamic teachings. Islam is for all eras and centuries. Islam answers all the needs of human beings. We should only develop the necessary expertise in order to find Islam\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s answers to all the questions of human beings. Some people do not have this expertise and they only know how to excommunicate and drive certain people out of religion. And they call themselves Muslims. Sometimes we discover that these people cooperate with the enemy. We should make Islam and sharia the pivot of our activities. This is one of the goals of Islamic Awakening. Another goal of Islamic Awakening is building a governing system. If a governing system is not built in countries which have carried out a revolution, they will face dangers. In North African countries, similar revolutions were carried out about 60 or 70 years ago. It was in mid-twentieth century that a revolution was carried out in Tunisia and certain people came to power. Similarly, a revolution and a coup d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'état were carried out in Egypt and certain people came to power. The same thing happened in some other countries. But they failed to build a governing system. This resulted in not only the destruction of these revolutions but also in the complete political transformation of the individuals who had come to power as revolutionaries. There was a complete change in their political behavior and they turned their backs on their values. This happened in Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan during that time. It was around 1343, 1344 or 1345 that I and a couple of my friends were listening to Sawt al-Arab radio station in Mashhad - Sawt al-Arab used to be broadcast from Cairo in Egypt. It was broadcasting the interviews of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Muammar Gaddafi and Jaafar Nimeiry who had gathered in one place. We were being suppressed by the dictatorial regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in Mashhad, but these fiery and impassioned speeches made us very enthusiastic and brought us great joy. Well, Abdel Nasser died and you saw what his successors did. You also saw what happened to Gaddafi and Nimeiry. Those revolutions underwent drastic changes because they had no plans and they did not build a governing system. There should be a governing system in countries which have carried out a revolution. They should build a solid foundation. This is one of the important issues regarding Islamic Awakening. Another important issue is strengthening popular support. Islamic governments should not separate themselves from the people. The people have certain expectations and needs. The real power is in the hands of the people. Whenever the people hold demonstrations, whenever they become firmly united and whenever they unanimously support their leaders and government officials, then America and even powers that are greater than America cannot do anything to harm them. We should maintain the support of the people and you intellectuals, authors, poets and religious scholars can do this. The most significant people are religious scholars who have a heavy responsibility. They should clarify for people what they want and where they are going. They should enlighten them about the problems and the enemy. They should help the people remain vigilant. In this way, no harm will be inflicted on the Islamic Ummah. Another issue is training the youth in scientific areas. Islamic countries should make progress in scientific and technological areas. I said that the west and America dominated the world by means of science - one of the means they used was science. They acquired wealth by using science. Of course, they acquired part of their wealth by using political machinations and immoral methods, but science also played an important role. We should make progress in science. There is a narration which says, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Knowledge is power. Anybody who has knowledge will be able to dominate those around him. Anybody who fails to gain knowledge will be ruled.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" You should make progress in science. Acquiring knowledge is like having strong arms. If you do not have strong arms, other strong people will twist your arms. You should encourage the youth in your countries to make progress in science. This is possible. We have done this in Iran. Before the Revolution, we were ranked one of the lowest nations in terms of science. No one paid any attention to us. Today those who carry out research in this regard say that Iran ranks 16th in the world in terms of science and the news of our achievement spread quickly in the world. This has been achieved in the shade of the Revolution, Islam and sharia. News of this achievement spread several months ago. Those organizations who said this predicted that Iran\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s scientific rank would be single-digit in a few years. They specified a year by which Iran will achieve this rank - in 10, 12 years. They said that Iran will be ranked fourth. This is because Iran has a fast rate of scientific growth. Of course, we are still far behind the world. Our scientific growth is several times faster than the global average, but we are still behind other countries. If we move forward at this speed, we will make great progress. The world of Islam should continue making progress. Islamic countries are talented. We have good young people. They are very talented. Muslim peoples used to be pioneers in science during a certain period. Why would we not expect that the world of Islam will be an authoritative source of reference in scientific areas? Why would we not expect that we can reach a point where all countries turn to Muslim countries in scientific areas? This is possible in the future. We should try very hard. Progress in science can be achieved in the shade of Islam and regional revolutions. The Islamic Ummah has proved that it can move forward at a greater speed. Another important issue is unity - it is almost time for praying and we need to go. Dear brothers and sisters, our enemies are making the best of the discord that exists among us. They are trying to create discord among Muslim peoples under such pretexts as Shia and Sunni Islam, ethnicity and nationality. They are trying to create discord by magnifying Shia and Sunni differences. You see that they are creating discord in Islamic countries which have carried out a revolution and in other Islamic countries. Everybody should be vigilant. The west and America are the enemies of the world of Islam. We should address and respond to this issue from this perspective. They are provoking the emotions of the people. Their intelligence services are working very hard and they sow destruction wherever they can. On the issue of Palestine, they created as many obstacles as they could. Of course, they failed in their efforts. We are moving forward. The world of Islam is moving forward. The recent event in Palestine is very important. An 8-day war broke out between the people of Gaza and the Zionist regime which claims to have the strongest army in the region. But when both sides decided to declare a ceasefire, it was the Palestinian side that set conditions. Is this believable? Would anybody have believed ten years ago that one day there would be a war between the Palestinians - not all Palestinians, a group of them in Gaza - and the Zionist regime and it would be the Palestinians who set conditions for a ceasefire? Well done to the Palestinians. Well done! Well done to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the soldiers who fought in Palestine and Gaza for their outstanding courage. What they did is a perfect example of courage. I want to express my gratitude to the Palestinian soldiers for their sacrifices, their efforts and their patience. They saw that \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Verily, with every difficulty there is relief\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" [The Holy Quran, 94: 6]. If we show patience, God Almighty will resolve our problems. Because they resisted the enemy and showed great patience, God Almighty resolved their problems. This is a lesson for both the Palestinians and other people. You should not underestimate the significance of unity between Muslim peoples. It is a very important issue. The point that our Bahraini brother raised about the silence of the world of Islam on the issue of Bahrain is true. The reason why some people are silent on this issue is that they have a denominational bias. According to these people, you can help people who have risen up against their corrupt government unless these people are Shia like the people of Bahrain. Some people have such an attitude towards this issue. They should change their attitude. We should know the enemy. We should know what his plots and machinations are. We should know how he tries to harm us. Our position on the issue of Syria was based on such an outlook. We cannot even stand to see that blood runs from the nose of a single Muslim. Even this is very painful for us. What we say is that those who are dragging Syria into a civil war, destruction and fratricide are to blame for the current situation in Syria. The demands of all peoples should be met in conventional ways and without using such violence. I hope that Allah the Exalted guides all of us. I hope that Allah the Exalted bestows His blessings on your efforts. I hope that Allah the Exalted bestows a bright future on this great wave of Islamic Awakening. Greetings be upon you and Allah\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s mercy and blessings

Electoral Act Bill: IPAC Tells National Assembly Not To Override Buhari
The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has urged the National Assembly not to override President Muhammadu Buhari's veto on his decision to withhold assent to the Electoral Act Bill amendment.
This is as the council also urged the lawmakers and the Judiciary to urgently come together to save democracy in Nigeria by ending incessant defection of elected officers from the party on which they were elected to another at the detriment of democracy.
National Chairman, IPAC, Engr. Yabagi Yusuf Sani, at a news conference on Monday in Abuja, said the council is backing the President for declining assent to the amended Electoral Act, part of which compels parties to adopt Direct Primaries to produce candidates for general elections.
Sani said that though the provision may appear to be beneficial, Nigeria is, however, currently not ripe to adopt such, thus the National Assembly attempt to veto the decision of the President will be fruitless.
"We have noted that the only expressed grouse of the President on the basis of which he held back his assent, is the provision in the Bill for mandatory use of Direct Primary election in the selection of flag bearers of all the political parties.
"While many may not concede to the explanations of security challenges with the other reasons given by the President, it will be difficult, however, to disagree with him on the reason of complex logistics and huge financial burden that direct primary elections will imply for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
"Many have canvassed the view that no amount of money should be considered too high in the efforts to sanitise the nation's electoral process and that the Legislature should, therefore, invoke its veto powers to overrule the President.
"To us in IPAC, such an action may be tantamount to a wholesale wrecking of the boat.
"We are of the view that, much as we may cherish its perceived benefits, the country, at this stage of the progress of its democracy, does not appear to be sufficiently ripe and prepared for the direct primary election model in the selection of political party flag bearers," Sani said.
He also said that IPAC's stance regarding National Assembly's position on indirect primaries amounts to an attempt to usurp the constitutional rights of parties as to the method of choice of their party flag bearers.
Speaking on the defection of elected officials, the IPAC boss said, "On the question of the incessant assault on the nation's constitution by way of unconscionable defections of elected officials from one party to another, the IPAC National Executive Committee (NEC) is calling on the legislature and the judiciary to urgently come together to save democracy in Nigeria by putting a stop to the ugly trend.
"This is based on our considered view that it is utterly illegal for an elected official who was elected on the platform and manifesto of one political party to abandon such a party while in office, without the constitutional conditions precedent to do so.
"In taking this position, the IPAC would want to draw attention to the constitutional provision which stipulates that elected officials can only legally jump boat, that is, change from one party to another while in office if and only if, a clear case of divisions or fictionalisation is perceived to exist in the party on whose platform he or she rode to the office in the first instance.
"To the best of our knowledge, most incidents of defections, especially in recent times, have occurred without the obvious existence of such situations.
"Furthermore, IPAC wishes to point to the fact that frivolous and wilful cross carpeting only exists in a parliamentary democracy and not in a presidential system of democracy that is extant in Nigeria."

Editing Profit
According to [[Marx]], "[t]he [[surplus value]] produced within a given period of [[circulation]], when measured against the total [[capital]] which has been advanced, is called — '''profit'''." == Distinguishing characteristics == Distinguishing characteristics of profit include: *Profit is thus best understood as the value of the [[commodities]] produced by the workers after deducting their wages, the cost of raw materials and the overhead. *Profit stands in [[Dialectics|dialectical]] opposition to "[[value-in-process|value in process]]" insofar as profit is removed from the circulation of capital and thus is not in process. == Quotes == <blockquote> "Surplus-value and the rate of surplus-value are... the invisible essence to be investigated, whereas the rate of profit and hence the form of surplus-value as profit are visible surface phenomena" [Karl Marx, Capital Vol. 3] </blockquote> <blockquote> "Under "profit" is included not only interest — known to be a mere portion of the total profit — but also the rent of land, which is nothing but a part of the capital employed in agriculture." </blockquote> <blockquote> "The rate of profit is the motive power of capitalist production. Things are produced only so long as they can be produced with a profit." [Marx, Capital, vol. III, ch. XV, part III] </blockquote> <blockquote> "A part of the surplus-value realized in profit, i.e., that part which assumes the form of interest on capital laid out (whether borrowed or not), appears to the capitalist as outlay, as production cost which he has as a capitalist, just as profit in general is the immediate aim of capitalist production. But in interest (especially on borrowed capital), this appears also as the actual precondition of his production. "At the same time, this reveals the significance of the distinction between the phenomena of production and of distribution. Profit, a phenomenon of distribution, is here simultaneously a phenomenon of production, a condition of production, a necessary constituent part of the process of production. How absurd it is, therefore, for John Stuart Mill and others to conceive bourgeois forms of production as absolute, but the bourgeois forms of distribution as historically relative, hence transitory. I shall return to this later. The form of production is simply the form of distribution seen from a different point of view. The specific features—and therefore also the specific limitation—which set bounds to bourgeois distribution, enter into bourgeois production itself, as a determining factor, which overlaps and dominates production."

From Totally Hilarious to Unbelievably Creepy, These Bizarre Museums Are Really Something Else
Julie Peirano
Would you believe that there's an entire museum dedicated to the love of Spam? Or one that showcases nothing but human hair? Indeed, these types of institutions would stump just about anyone. Yet, they exist, somehow managing to attract visitors year after year. So, if you're looking for the most bizarre museums the country has to offer, look no further. Here are 15 you need to see to believe.
Tell us, how many of these would you step foot in?
1. Spam Museum
Who knew you could love Spam this much? | JEWEL SAMAD/AFP/GettyImages
Location: Austin, Minnesota
Yes, it's a thing. And it's a dream for any Spam-loving individual (read: hipster) out there. Based in Austin, Minnesota, the Spam Museum is home to nine "SPAMtastic galleries with interactive games and photo opportunities." Why Minnesota? The Hormel headquarters is based there, giving you one more reason to visit the Land of 10,000 Lakes — if that's your thing.
Next: Scared of clowns? If so, stay away from this place.
2. Clown Museum
This clown probably doesn't get his bad reputation. | gregglmt/iStock/Getty Images
Location: Baraboo, Wisconsin
If you suffer from a fear of clowns, this museum should be avoided at all cost. While it's not meant to be scary, seeing a plethora of makeup-clad clowns is bound to creep a person out, so long as they're not a full-blown clown enthusiast. But hey, different strokes for different folks.
Next: A collection of thrones fit for a king
3. Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum
The former plummer wants his art to stay on display. | Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum via Facebook
No, you don't need to get your eyes checked, because this museum is a real thing. And to be honest, the story behind it is pretty heartwarming. 97 year old Barney Smith has spent the last 50 years creating over 1,300 ornately-decorated toilet seat lids. So naturally, he needed someplace to put the collection on display.
Enter Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Art Museum, which is so intriguing, in fact, that The Clorox Company has even gotten involved. The company totally has Barney's behind (no pun intended) and is showing its support by helping to raise awareness so that the almost 100 year old artist can sell his collection to someone who wants to keep it alive.
Next: This one's for all the soda loving folks out there.
4. Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute
The building was initially a bottling site. | Dr Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute via Facebook
Location: Waco, Texas
The main claim to fame of this museum is the building it's housed in. According to the museum's website, the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company building was the first to be dedicated to the manufacturing of Dr Pepper. Then, in 1989, it transformed into the Dr Pepper Museum and finally, in 1997, it became the Dr Pepper Museum and Free Enterprise Institute.
Next: If you've ever had your heart broken, the concept behind this museum will certainly hit home.
5. Museum of Broken Relationships
There are even some interactive exhibits. | Museum of Broken Relationships Los Angeles via Facebook
There's nothing quite like having your heart ripped out of your chest. Really, what could be worse? Perhaps having a gathering place where droves of strangers can witness your heartache up close and personal. OK, maybe we're being a bit dramatic here, but what's a breakup without a little drama?
Drama, of course, is exactly what you'll find at the Museum of Broken Relationships, where the exhibits "reflect the full range of human emotions."
Next: The items in this collection are better suited for the kitchen table.
6. The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum
There are over 20,000 sets. | The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum via Facebook
Location: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Turns out, Gatlinburg has more to offer than its proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Because yes, there's an entire museum devoted to the two kitchen table staples we couldn't live without. The Salt and Pepper Shaker Museum is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It features over 20,000 sets of S and P shakers from around the world, along with a large Pepper Mill collection.
Next: Hilariously bad art abounds at this northeastern gem.
7. Museum of Bad Art
It's definitely a new type of museum. | Museum of Bad Art via Facebook
Location: Greater Boston area, Massachusetts (multiple locations)
You know that feeling you get when you see a painting at a popular museum exhibit, and all you can think is, How is that art? A kindergartener could do that! Well, the Museum of Bad Art actually celebrates this type of art — the kind a lot of people have serious disdain for.
At the Museum of Bad Art, there's no art too bad to showcase. In fact, the museum's mission is "to bring the worst of art to the widest of audiences." We can't say it's unoriginal.
Next: Got fruit?
8. International Banana Museum
For those who just can't get enough bananas. | International Banana Museum via Facebook
Location: Mecca, California
A museum dedicated to one beloved fruit? Why not! At the International Banana Museum, it's all about banana-inspired memorabilia and basically, it's an all out banana bonanza. Complete with over 20,000 products no person would ever need in their life, this museum is fit for a banana split king or queen — or a monkey, of course.
Next: This museum's all about Bigfoot.
9. Bigfoot Discovery Museum
Read all about the legend. | Bigfoot Discovery Museum via Facebook
Location: Felton, California
There's not much to wonder about this one, except for what exactly is inside. We've all heard of Bigfoot believers, and this museum is an ode to the beast they've been so desperately searching for. According to the website, the collection features "exhibits of local history, tied in with local Bigfoot sightings, Popular Culture as it relates to the public view of Bigfoot, and actual evidence in the form of plaster foot and hand prints along with detailed exhibits on the Patterson-Grimlin Film."
So, if you're not a believer, perhaps this place will change your mind.
Next: A plethora of dummies can be found at this venue.
10. Ventriloquist Museum
If the clown museum didn't creep you out enough … | Vent Haven Museum via Facebook
Location: Fort Mitchell, Kentucky
Dummy got your tongue? If you're visiting the Vent Haven Ventriloquist Museum, then the answer's yes. Giving the Clown Museum a run for its money (although we're sure that the two schools would highly object to being compared to one another), this museum has a mind of its own. Really.
According to the museum's website, "Ventriloquism is a cornerstone of entertainment history and only one place in the world is dedicated to this centuries old performance art…Vent Haven Museum!"
Next: Dead hair, don't care?
11. Hair Museum
Beautiful craftsmanship but weird material. | Leila's Hair Museum via Facebook
Location: Independence, Missouri
There's one woman behind this oddly interesting concept, and her name is Leila Cohoon. As a hairdresser, Cohoon had a true love for all things hair and art, and so her collection began. Located in Independence, Missouri, Leila's Hair Museum features over 600 hair wreaths and over 2,000 pieces of jewelry made entirely of — you guessed it — human hair.
Next: Brush 'em, brush 'em, brush 'em.
12. Dental Museum
For future dentists or just teeth enthusiasts. | National Museum of Dentistry via Facebook
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
A National Museum of Dentistry? We suppose that's one way to get folks jazzed about their next teeth cleaning. But in all seriousness, this hilarious museum promotes more than just a healthy smile. In fact, it houses over 40,000 dentistry objects, and is even home to George Washington's pearly whites.
Next: For the security enthusiasts out there
13. Museum of Barbed Wire
Apparently there enough barbed wire enthusiasts for a museum. | The Official Devil's Rope Barbwire Museum via Facebook
Location: McClean, Texas
Located along the country's most famous road-tripping highway, Route 66, Devil's Rope Museum features one thing, and one thing only. As the museum's website reads, this is the spot for "everything you want to know about barbed wire and fencing tools." We didn't know there were so many barbed wire enthusiasts out there, but apparently, there are, because this museum is a thing.
Next: The grim reaper would love this place.
14. Museum of Death
Maybe hold off on lunch … | Museum of Death, Nola via Facebook
Location: Hollywood, California and New Orleans, Louisiana
With locations in Hollywood and New Orleans, the Museum of Death celebrates, well, death. And not just any death. In fact, the museum is home to the world's largest collection of serial murderer artwork (whatever that means), real-life photos of the Charles Manson crime scenes, a guillotined severed head, and a body bag and coffin collection.
Now, there's only one thing you need to ask yourself: Do you have the guts to enter?
Next: This museum has nostalgia written all over it.
15. Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia
For the nostalgic candy collector. | Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia via Facebook
Location: Burlingame, California
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, look no further than the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia. When visitors step foot inside the museum, they're treated to a collection that features an example of every Pez dispenser ever sold. And the number may shock you: The collection amounts to over 1,000 pieces. Now how's that for a little 90s nostalgia?

"The dream of Calvin 'Cabo' Howell will be realized", says Premier Parry
March 1, 2012 in NIA
Premier of Nevis, Hon. Joseph Parry making brief remarks at the opening of the Jessups Community Center
CHARLESTOWN,NEVIS (Wednesday, February 29, 2012)-– Premier and Area Representative for St. Thomas parish, the Hon. Joseph Parry has paid homage to the now-deceased, Mr. Calvin" Cabo" Howell, the founder of the Nevis Dramatic and Cultural Society (NEDACS), for paving the way for greater expression of Nevisian Culture.
Speaking at the grand opening of the Jessups Community Center on Monday evening, the Premier said "it was a dream of Mr. Howell to develop Nevis culturally" with activities being done in every parish, and culminating on August Monday, (Emancipation Day) annually, in the streets of Charlestown.
"He did not live to see it happen, but I will tell you, his wife, children and the people of Nevis will see it, because with these activities coming out of the community centers across Nevis, Culturama will be bigger and better," said the Hon. Joseph Parry to spontaneous applause from the overflow audience.
Howell, widely regarded as the Father of Nevisian Culture, founded NEDACS in 1971, and the national festival Culturama in 1974. He passed away on January 9, 2001 – aged 61.
Turning to the national stage, Premier Parry told the audience that the Performing Arts Center located in St. Thomas Parish, will soon be opened, and proposed that one of its earliest activities should be talent competitions between the five parishes of Nevis.
"The parish of St. John's can go up against St. Thomas', the winner from that competition can go against St. James', then that winner can go against St. Paul's, and then that winner can go against St. Georges parish," said the Premier.
The Premier was clearly in awe of the outstanding talent displayed by the residents of Jessups, throughout the ceremony in dance, songs, instrument playing, dramatization, poetry reading and eloquent speeches.
"If the NRP (Nevis Reformation Party) did not get into power, we would not have known about the outstanding talent in Jessups Village," he said, after witnessing the array of talent displayed during the ceremony.
There had been a few community centers around Nevis before the Nevis Reformation Party (NRP) took the reins of power in July 2006, but according to the Premier, "nothing happened in them."
He said the Community Centers should not be stand-alone monuments, but the activities should "flow from the people". He spoke in glowing terms of an exhibition mounted by the people of Barnes Ghaut in their new Community Center, which he was privileged to see on Sunday (Feb. 26), and which runs through Saturday (March 3). He encouraged all to go and see it.
"Under the previous administration, the centers were given to the residents without any input from the people, they were simply placed there and they do not fit in or they were not organized for the benefit for the community. When you look at the centers that we (the NRP) have done, you will see that we have ensured that the people of the village had their input for the betterment of the community," said the Premier.
Monday's ceremony, the fifth of its kind in recent months, came on the heels of openings at Fountain, Barnes Ghaut, Cotton Ground and Combermere, and was hosted by Cabinet Secretary to the Nevis Island Administration, Jessupsian Mr. Ashley Farrell.
Casting his mind to a project of another nature, the Premier further underscored the vision and creativity of the NRP, stating that when the Fisheries Complex planned for Gallows Bay (Charlestown) is completed, Jessups' fishermen will be able to have their fish processed into fish sticks and patties for the benefit all Nevisians at the US$8 million Japanese -sponsored facility. Work is scheduled to commence in 2012.
"There is presently no other fishing complex like this in the region, and Nevis will be the first because of the NRP. We are a party of style, creativity and initiative, and most importantly we perform," concluded the Premier.

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has sought the help of the Indian envoy to Sri Lanka to get the boats of Indian fishermen released.
In a letter, state fisheries secretary S Vijayakumar has asked high commissioner Y K Sinha to secure the release of the boats without procedural wrangles. "I request you to clarify the procedure by which the owners of the 81 boats can obtain the quick release of their boats. The boats were released earlier along with the fishermen but now the Lankan government wants the owners to claim their boats," said Vijayakumar. "Though Tamil Nadu has been seeking release of the boats, we have come to know that they have been berthed precariously and several of them have been damaged," said the secretary.
Meanwhile, a report from Kanyakumari said mid-sea detentions for maritime violations by coast guard patrols of foreign countries are proving to be a nightmare for fishermen of Thoothoor hamlet of Kanyakumari district. On January 28, 20 fishermen were apprehended by Seychelles coast guard.
The fishermen – 13 from Tamil Nadu and seven from Kerala – had put out to sea in two fishing boats from Kochi on January 15. A few days back, a group was detained by British coast guard personnel and another by Bangladesh naval units.
Fr A Bebinson, parish priest of Thoothoor, said that their fishermen are caught between livelihood crisis and risk of apprehension by other countries.
