Why, Oh Why, Did Spook Restrict Access??
You may have noticed that replying to posts and starting threads in the Mud Pit and the Field of Daisies is now allowed only by MEMBERS; GUESTS are no longer allowed to do these things.
I will reset everything to the previously open access that everyone enjoyed once some of you become members. I AM NOT TRYING TO DRIVE YOU AWAY. I AM NOT TRYING TO DISCOURAGE YOU FROM USING DIFFERENT ALIASES. All that I ask is that you register _ONE_ of them (and please use that alias at least somewhat regularly so it isn't deleted!). I enjoy the different names you guys use, but I would really like to have a solid member-base. When you register, you DO NOT have to give any info you do not want to - hell, it doesn't even have to be truthful info (However, I do request a VALID email so that you can receive the various perks that make membership worthwhile!!)! Make up whatever you want, just PLEASE use that account every now and then. I am fine with people having multiple accounts.
Another policy change that WILL NOT be revoked: usually I delete non-posting accounts after one year on the anniversary of registration. That date is now six months after registration if the account is inactive. This will go into effect on 13 July.
I am not trying to be snotty, but I am tired of asking the same thing again and again and feel that as admin, I should do something about it. So I did. I think the action I have taken is a fair enough and workable compromise. I mention that the restriction is temporary - so think of it as a nudge to action. If people still do not register, then I will make this a permanent thing. I don't want to lost the key players in my forums, but this is an important issue to me, so just take the measely second it takes to create an account and appease me. Thanks, and we now return to your regularly scheduled forum. If you have a beef with the changes, contact me about it either here or in a private message.
Oh, wait - you have to be a member to send a private message.... well, there ya go! ANOTHER reason you should register!!
A heads up that effective today, All boards are now members only thanks to our spammer guest. I imagine I am shooting myself in the foot with that one, but don't blame me. Go beat up the smelly spamming kid on the playground behind the bleachers.


With just under a week to go, we have a final few places left on our Ofsted nominee training course next Monday the 18th December.
This workshop will you in developing your knowledge and understanding of the inspection process, improve planning and preparation for inspection, be able to effectively manage the inspection week and understand their role as the inspection nominee.
The content and activities are designed to help those who will be directly involved in the inspection process and other managers and staff who would like to further develop their knowledge and understanding of inspection and how to ensure their organisation is seen at its best.

Holter dream comes true with Oredigger signing
In Butte Central, Front Page, Montana Tech
Butte Central senior Cade Holter poses for photos with his parents C.D. Holter and Dawn (Bugni) Holter after signing with Montana Tech Tuesday at Butte Central.
By Bill Foley
For Cade Holter, Tuesday was a day in which a dream came true.
Surrounded by his parents, classmates, teammates, teachers and coaches at Butte Central, Holter signed an NAIA Letter of Intent to play basketball at Montana Tech.
"I really wanted to do this since forever," Holter said after a brief ceremony at the BC rotunda. "I really wanted to play college basketball, so I'm really excited about this."
The signing comes after Holter was a key contributor for the Maroons for 107 varsity games. Only Joe Devich, who closed his BC career with 111 games in 1946-47, played more games for the Maroons.
Holter played in every BC varsity game from his freshman year on.
"This is a special guy here," BC coach Brodie Kelly told the Central students. "He loved playing for the school, and he loved playing for you."

Holter earned Class A All-State honors during the 2018-19 season. He averaged 11.7 points to lead BC to a 22-5 record and the third-place trophy at the Class A State tournament in Great Falls.
A model of consistency, Holter scored 210 points in 18 regular-season games and 105 points in nine postseason contests.
Holter, the MVP of the Western A Divisional tournament in Hamilton, is also know for his defensive prowess, shutting the top scorer of opposing teams.
"He's a winner," Montana Tech coach Adam Hiatt said. "He's a tough, team oriented guy. He's a kid who's going to be able to fulfill any role that we ask him to fulfill from a freshman on through when he's a senior."
Kelly, a 1993 Butte Central graduate who had a standout career in basketball at Montana Tech, has coached the Maroons the past 15 seasons. Hiatt said Kelly vouching for Holter pushed him over the top in offering the BC senior a scholarship.
"He's got a really high ceiling for basketball ability," Hiatt said of Holter. "His coach, Coach Kelly, raves about him. He basically told us in terms of what we're looking for to fill this roster spot he's a no-brainer."
"We were fortunate enough to see him several times, and we had our own opinions on him. When you're able to hear that from his coach, who is very candid and doesn't deceive anybody, it just speaks volumes. "
Holter, also a standout in football and in the javelin in track, said he feared his high school career would mark the end of his basketball career.
Then, he heard from Tech assistant coach Derek Selvig.
"Right before state, Coach Selvig texted me 'good luck' and stuff, and that they'd be watching," Holter said. "That got me really excited."
Then Holter went out and put on an epic performance for the Maroons. That included two battles on Saturday, an overtime win over Livingston in the morning and a double-overtime victory over Hamilton in the third-place game.
"I'm really excited to get to play in my hometown," Holter said. "Butte's always been good to me. I can stay with the best people in the world. My parents will be able to watch me. I'm really happy for them."
Butte Central principal J.P. Williams said Holter is a role model for every student at Butte Central, on and off the court.
"He's an incredible young man," Williams said. "He's the model of student athletes. He's 100 percent accountable in the classroom and 100 percent accountable to his teammates and community."
Holter, the son of C.D. Holter and Dawn (Bugni) Holter, said he is undecided about his major.
"I'm not really sure what I want to do," he said.
That is, he is unsure of what he wants to do off the court. On the court, his mind has been made up for quite some time.
"I thought about it a lot," Holter said. "I didn't really put my name out there to play football because I knew if I wanted to do anything it would be basketball."

Today a road transport corporation bus hit my 4-wheeler. My car is registered in Gurgaon (Haryana) and the accident happened in Vijayawada (AP). Is there any way to claim from the RTC. If so, can you share the procedure. Also does the insurance company mandate filing of police compliant to claim insurance.
Complaint is not mandatory but inform the company about accident and by filling motor accident claim, you can get compensated by RTC. And file FIR against the RTC, so that it can pressured to make payment out of court to compromise the matter.
Thanks so much for the response - would there be any issues in a) complaining to the police or b) in dealing with the insurance company as the vehicle is registered in a different state (i.e. Haryana) from the place where the accident happened (i.e. Andhra Pradesh).
RTC is at fault not you.
Thanks, if I file a Police compliant would I need to give the car as 'evidence' to the Police or can I still retain it and send it for repairs etc. and use it later.
the Magistrate may make an order under Section 457(2) CrPC to dispose or deliver the property to the person entitled to the possession of the property on the conditions which the Magistrate thinks fit.
Police will seize the car than will release from court.
File a police complaint against the driver of the bus for the accident. The FIR has to be registered.
File a motor accident claim against APRTC making driver party to it to claim compensation.
There won't be any issue in claiming the compensation even if vehicle is registered outside.
The photographs for damages can be taken and can be placed on record then you can take vehicle.for repair.
ask your insurance company to pay for damages done.
Whole of the procedure is related to the rules of insurance company to which your car has been insured it does not matter that to which state it belongs but to get the benefit you have to contact the branch of the insurance company in Vijaywada with a complaint to be filed in the police station of the area so that procedure be started by the IC.
Generally the government buses are not insured hence you may not be able to claim insurance from any insurance company, however that will not bar you from making a claim through MACT against the corporation.
You may contact any advocate in this regard and file a claim case.
You have to lodge a complaint with the police, they will register FIR which is essential for filing a claim case, hence you dont worry about other state registration, you may give a complaint to the police and afterwards contact an advocate in the local to file a MACT claim case.
You first approach the police with a complaint, they will inform you about all other requirements including the details of your car and other issues.
1. Firstly you have to file a FIR under Section 279 and 337 IPC.
2. On the basis of FIR you can file a petition in the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal to seek compensation.

Something cruel, something that i don't want to be involved at all. But we're all guest stars in this horror movie and we, humanbeings are all a part of this. We made this. We kill each other -literally- for no reason till the first day. Congratulations everyone.
This is part of the process of becoming a truly democratic government-- ugly, but at the same time, shows the Thai people emerging as a cognizant society valuing freedom and choice.
This is so bad. That's real cruelty. By the way, I would like to invite you to join and have your say about anything on this new Travel and Leisure Forum.You can even win the cash prize for the most number of referrals. See you there! Thanks.
That's not true. Thaksin is corrupted prime minister. He was found guilty by the court for money laundering. Those Red shirts are his puppets.

Boys waistcoats from Piscador. An elegant style that consists of an ivory swirl pattern on a white base colour. Features two front pockets.
A good mixture of the advertised sizes will be included.


Use the deluxe X Series Travel Bag when transporting your X Series golf cart (X1, X3, X5, X7 or X9) to help keep the boot of your car clean. This updated design is made from a thick padded material to help protect your X Series golf trolley from accidental knocks and scratches.
The bag is double zipped with two carry handles, designed so that the weight of the trolley is taken by the grey straps rather than the stiching that holds them on.
The travel bag has been designed 'upside down' so that you place the X Series golf trolley on the flat base, and then pull the rest of the bag over the trolley – the SG logo should be visible when the trolley is in the bag. Customers find that this is much more convenient than having the zips on the top side.


Unasco Anti-Seize Tapes consist of specially formulated high temperature metallic or ceramic powders dispersed through a PTFE matrix. At low temperatures (<260°C), the PTFE provides lubricity on thread surfaces. At high temperatures, the PTFE depolmerizes depositing the high temperature powders on the thread surfaces which act as a lubricant during disassembly.


The stretch receptor nerves lining the bladder prompt urges to urinate when they sense the bladder is about one-third full. However, urine does not collect at the bottom of the bladder in low gravity environments. In space, the urge is only triggered once the bladder is almost totally filled. This could cause the urethra to be forced shut, making urination very difficult. Astronauts must take precaution against this.

Occupational Employment and Wages in Bend-Redmond — May 2015
Workers in the Bend-Redmond Metropolitan Statistical Area had an average (mean) hourly wage of $20.60 in May 2015, about 11 percent below the nationwide average of $23.23, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Assistant Commissioner for Regional Operations Richard Holden noted that, after testing for statistical significance, wages in the local area were lower than their respective national averages in 13 of the 22 major occupational groups, including management; legal; and computer and mathematical. Five groups had significantly higher wages than their respective national averages, including healthcare practitioners and technical; protective service; and healthcare support.
When compared to the nationwide distribution, local employment was more highly concentrated in 7 of the 22 occupational groups, including food preparation and serving related; sales and related; and construction and extraction. Conversely, seven groups had employment shares significantly below their national representation, including production; transportation and material moving; and business and financial operations. (See table A and box note at end of release.)
Table A. Occupational employment and wages by major occupational group, United States and the Bend-Redmond Metropolitan Statistical Area, and measures of statistical significance, May 2015

10.5 12.4* 18.90 17.55* -7
15.8 16.7 17.47 16.59* -5
(1) A positive percent difference measures how much the mean wage in Bend is above the national mean wage, while a negative difference reflects a lower wage.
* The percent share of employment or mean hourly wage for this area is significantly different from the national average of all areas at the 90-percent confidence level.
One occupational group—food preparation and serving related—was chosen to illustrate the diversity of data available for any of the 22 major occupational categories. Bend-Redmond had 8,250 jobs in food preparation and serving related, accounting for 11.8 percent of local area employment, significantly higher than the 9.1-percent share nationally. The average hourly wage for this occupational group locally was $11.37, significantly above the national wage of $10.98.
Some of the largest detailed occupations within the food preparation and serving related group included waiters and waitresses (2,040), restaurant cooks (1,420), and combined food preparation and serving workers, including fast food (1,160). Among the higher paying jobs were chefs and head cooks, and institution and cafeteria cooks, with mean hourly wages of $19.94 and $14.27, respectively. At the lower end of the wage scale were fast food cooks ($9.99) and dishwashers ($10.35). (Detailed occupational data for food preparation and serving related are presented in table 1; for a complete listing of detailed occupations available go to www.bls.gov/oes/2015/may/oes_13460.htm .)
Location quotients allow us to explore the occupational make-up of a metropolitan area by comparing the composition of jobs in an area relative to the national average. (See table 1.) For example, a location quotient of 2.0 indicates that an occupation accounts for twice the share of employment in the area than it does nationally. In the Bend-Redmond Metropolitan Statistical Area, above-average concentrations of employment were found in some of the occupations within the food preparation and serving related group. For instance, restaurant cooks were employed at 2.4 times the national rate in Bend, and dishwashers, at 2.3 times the U.S. average. On the other hand, first-line supervisors of food preparation and serving workers had a location quotient of 1.0 in Bend, indicating that this particular occupation's local and national employment shares were similar.
These statistics are from the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, a federal-state cooperative program between BLS and State Workforce Agencies, in this case, the Oregon Employment Department.
Notes on Occupational Employment Statistics Data
With the issuance of data for May 2015, the OES program has incorporated redefined metropolitan area definitions as designated by the Office of Management and Budget. OES data are available for 394 metropolitan areas, 38 metropolitan divisions, and 167 OES-defined nonmetropolitan areas. A listing of the areas and their definitions can be found at www.bls.gov/oes/current/msa_def.htm.
The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a semiannual mail survey measuring occupational employment and wage rates for wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments in the United States. The OES program produces employment and wage estimates for over 800 occupations for all industries combined in the nation; the 50 states and the District of Columbia; 432 metropolitan areas and divisions; 167 nonmetropolitan areas; and Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. National estimates are also available by industry for NAICS sectors, 3-, 4-, and selected 5- and 6-digit industries, and by ownership across all industries and for schools and hospitals. OES data are available at www.bls.gov/oes/tables.htm.
OES estimates are constructed from a sample of about 1.2 million establishments. Forms are mailed to approximately 200,000 sampled establishments in May and November each year. May 2015 estimates are based on responses from six semiannual panels collected over a 3-year period: May 2015, November 2014, May 2014, November 2013, May 2013, and November 2012. The overall national response rate for the six panels is 73.5 percent based on establishments and 69.6 percent based on weighted sampled employment. The unweighted employment of sampled establishments across all six semiannual panels represents approximately 57.9 percent of total national employment. (Response rates are slightly lower for these estimates due to the federal shutdown in October 2013.) The sample in the Bend-Redmond Metropolitan Statistical Area included 1,273 establishments with a response rate of 77 percent. For more information about OES concepts and methodology, go to www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.tn.htm.
The Bend-Redmond, Ore. Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Deschutes County.
OES data are available on our regional web page at www.bls.gov/regions/west. Answers to frequently asked questions about the OES data are available at www.bls.gov/oes/oes_ques.htm. Detailed technical information about the OES survey is available in our Survey Methods and Reliability Statement on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/oes/2015/may/methods_statement.pdf.

In fulfillment of this prophecy, Israel is, without a doubt, the most hated nation in the world today, and I can prove it quickly and decisively.
Just consider a partial listing of condemnations issued by the United Nations Human Rights Council since it was established in 2006. Israel has been condemned 62 times, Syria 17 times, North Korea 8 times and Iran 5 times.
Of the 193 members of the United Nations, only 11 nations have been condemned, representing six percent. Of the 116 resolutions of condemnation, 53% have been aimed at Israel!
Not a one of the following states have received a single condemnation despite the fact that all of them have horrible records of human rights violations — Cuba, China, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Somalia, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Yet Israel has been condemned 62 times.
Or consider this list of terrorist organizations — ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. The only one that has been condemned by the UN Human Rights Council is ISIS, with one condemnation!
Yet Israel has been targeted 62 times.
Israel is a democracy that provides the highest standards of freedom for all its citizens, both Jew and Arab.
There is not one Arab country in the world that will allow Jews to be citizens, and there is not one that will allow freedom of religion for Jews and Christians.
Yet it is Israel that is condemned.
In contrast, Israel allows Arabs to be citizens and to vote and serve in its parliament. It also provides freedom of speech and religion for both Christians and Muslims.
Women in Arab countries throughout the Middle East are subjected to honor killings and are denied basic rights like voting and privileges like driving an auto, yet the UN Council on the Status of Women wrapped up its most recent meeting in March of 2016 by condemning only one country in the world — Israel, for supposedly violating the rights of Palestinian women!
In the same month, the latest session of the United Nations Human Rights Council issued one condemnation each for North Korea, Syria and Iran.
That means that 98% of the 193 member states of the United Nations — inhabited by 6.6 billion people — got no mention at all in the resolutions of the UN Human Rights Council.
Israel is one of the smallest nations in the world. It is only 300 miles long and 75 miles wide — about the size of the state of New Jersey. Does the United Nations really believe it is the source of all the world's problems?
The latest UN fiasco has come from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In October of 2016 this Arab dominated wing of the UN adopted two outrageous resolutions presented by the Palestinians in which they denied any historical connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem, the Temple Mount and the Western Wall (or "Wailing Wall" as it is often called).
The prime Minister also pointed to extra–biblical evidence of the Jewish connection to Jerusalem. He suggested that if the UNESCO members do not believe the Bible, they should visit the Arch of Titus in Rome because it contains a frieze showing the loot that the Romans brought back to Rome after they destroyed the Jewish Temple in 70 AD.
The frieze from the Arch of Titus showing Jewish prisoners carrying items confiscated by the Romans from the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD.
Further evidence of the world's hatred of the Jewish people is to be found in the rising wave of anti–Semitism that is currently sweeping Europe and the emigration to Israel that it is provoking. It is a phenomenon that was featured on the cover of Newsweek magazine in August of 2014.
According to the Pew Research Center, by 2013, Jews were being harassed in 34 of 45 European countries and anti–Semitic harassment worldwide had reached a seven–year high.
All over Europe, and particularly in Greece, France and Belgium, Jews are seeing their religious freedoms violated, their cemeteries vandalized, and their synagogues desecrated. They are also experiencing increasing personal attacks that often result in death. In France, the annual number of anti–Semitic incidents is currently seven times as high as in the 1990s. In 2014, they doubled.

The elections to the European Parliament in 2014 showed a surge of support for extreme right–wing Neo–Nazi parties in France, Greece, Hungary and Germany.
The population of Europe today is 742 million. Only 1.4 million of those are Jews. That means the Jews constitute only one–tenth of one percent of the population, and yet they are the focus of hatred and persecution. And in the process, they are blamed for most of Europe's problems.
I could extend this discussion considerably by demonstrating the ways in which our own nation has turned against Israel, particularly during the last eight years. And I could show you extensive evidence of growing anti–Semitism in America, even among Evangelicals. But I will save all this for a future article.
I want to conclude this essay by sharing with you the thoughts contained in a brilliant speech by Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer. The speech was delivered this past year in May at an annual conference in New York City that is sponsored by the Jerusalem Post.
The Ambassador focused his remarks on the difference between fact and fiction regarding the way Israel is portrayed in the world press. The full speech can be found on the Internet in many places. I am going to share only portions of it with you.
"In a world of fiction, Israeli soldiers are war criminals.
In the world of fact, the IDF deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for the efforts its commanders make and the risks its soldiers take to keep Palestinian civilians out of harm's way.
In a world of fiction, it is Israel that has an extremist, brutal and bloodthirsty society.
In the world of fact, Hamas terrorists rule Gaza and welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. Palestinian children are educated to hate Jews and Palestinian public squares are named after mass murderers.
In a world of fiction, there never was a Temple on the Temple Mount, and the Jewish people are foreign colonialists in the land of Israel.
In the world of fact, the Temple of Solomon was built by the son of David 3,000 years ago in Jerusalem, and what the world calls the West Bank is the same Judea and Samaria where the patriarchs of the Jewish people prayed, where our prophets preached and where our kings ruled.
In the world of fiction, Iran will seek to reconcile with the United States after the nuclear deal and become a partner for solving problems throughout the Middle East.
In the world of fact, Iran is vowing to remain an enemy of the United States and is wreaking havoc throughout the Middle East.
In a world of fiction, a richer Iran will curb its aggression, end its support for terrorism and stop trying to annihilate Israel.
In the world of fact, a richer Iran is dispatching troops and proxies throughout the region, shipping more arms to Hezbollah, hosting Holocaust denial contests and test–firing ballistic missiles inscribed with threats to wipe Israel off the map.
In a world of fiction, Prime Minister Netanyahu is not prepared to negotiate with President Abbas.
In the world of fact, President Abbas has avoided negotiations for the last seven years.
In a world of fiction, settlements are the obstacle to peace and Israel is ethnically cleansing the Palestinians.
In the world of fact, our conflict predates the building of settlements in post–1967 Israel by 50 years, the Palestinian population in the territories captured in the Six Day War has grown at least threefold, and those who allege ethnic cleansing are those who insist that a future Palestinian state be devoid of all Jews.
It is at times like this, when the world predictably rushes to defame and demonize Israel, that I am proudest to serve Israel. Because despite being the most maligned country on earth, Israel is the most remarkable country on earth.
Not perfect, but remarkable. With a people who are moral and compassionate. With soldiers who are brave and decent. With institutions that are sound and resilient. And with a Prime Minister I know is as determined as ever to secure Israel's future.
Someone once said that if the story of Israel were submitted as a movie script, it would be rejected for being too fantastic to believe. After all, the restoration of sovereignty in our ancestral homeland after 2,000 years, the return of the exiles of our people from across the globe, the defense of Israel against implacable enemies, and the transformation of Israel from a desert backwater to a global technological power, seems to defy both history and logic.
But ladies and gentlemen, Israel is not a work of fiction. Israel is a real country. And the people in Israel are real people.
Wonderful article. Please keep the truth coming, to inform us, to educate us, and to let us know what God is doing in the world and with his beloved Israel. Bless you for the work you do! And of course, God bless Israel!
When the UN makes statements claiming that Jews have no connection to the land, it shows that they are mentally unstable and can't be trusted in any capacity. The UN needs to be dismantled.
The times of the signs are here now! The U.N.'s deceptive and sneaky attempts at grabbing world power, anti- Semitism reaching pre-World War II levels, the nations raging against Israel while violence surges within their own borders, these are signs we are surely in the last days before the Rapture.
Thanks Dave for this well-written and insightful article!!
I'm a Roman Catholic, age 70. Throughout my age of reason, I've been appalled at the treatment of Jews. I believe in the bible, of course, and I, too, feel we are at the crest of the end of days. I truly hope our two year old daughter will participate in The Rapture, and I pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ that he will grant my wife and myself the blessings of this event, were we alive at the time. For all Jews, I am deeply saddened by your life experiences as they relate to the rest of the World.
As always Dr. Reagan your article is on the mark.


An experimental cancer vaccine showed promise in a small clinical trial, according to a study in Nature Medicine.
Mount Sinai tested the treatment in 11 patients with lymphoma.
The vaccine is used in people who already have cancer. It's not preventive like the flu shot.
An experimental cancer "vaccine" showed promising results in a small clinical trial of patients with lymphoma, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.
Researchers at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital tested the treatment in 11 patients with lymphoma. Their results were successful enough to warrant another clinical trial in March on lymphoma patients as well as breast and head-and-neck cancer.
Researchers said some patients in the initial human trial went into full remission for months or even years.
They refer to it as a vaccine because it causes a person's immune system to fight the disease, though it's not preventive like the flu shot. In this case, the treatment teaches the body to recognize tumors and attack them.
Researchers created the treatment directly inside the tumor. To do this, they injected one tumor with a stimulant to recruit immune cells, treated the tumor with a low dose of radiation then injected it with a stimulant to activate immune cells. These activated immune cells then travel throughout the body, killing tumors wherever they find them.
In three of the patients, the treatment shrunk not only the tumor that was treated but also other ones throughout the body, putting these patients into remission.
"It's really promising, and the fact you get not only responses in treated areas, but areas outside the field [of treatment with radiation] is really significant," said Dr. Silvia Formenti, chairwoman of radiation oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian, who was not involved in the study and is working on a similar treatment.
While promising, the effect was observed in only three people and will need to be tested in larger trials before even going before the Food and Drug Administration for review.
Dr. Eric Jacobsen, clinical director of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's lymphoma program, said the results are exciting but cautioned more research needs to be done. Jacobsen was not involved in the study.
"It's definitely proof of concept, but larger studies are definitely needed and additional strategies to try to get more than three out of 11 patients to respond," said Jacobsen, who is also developing a lymphoma vaccine, though with a slightly different approach.
Researchers for decades have tried but failed to create cancer vaccines. New research on immunotherapy, or training a person's immune system to fight disease, has reinvigorated their efforts.
The vaccine activates dendritic cells, which are responsible for initiating immune responses. These cells then instruct T-cells to attack tumors in a person's body, like generals instructing soldiers how to fight.
"Generals don't really fight wars, they make the plans," Brody said.
The research was funded by The Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, the Cancer Research Institute and Merck. Celldex and Oncovir provided the materials for the clinical trial and the lab work.

Nortel Makes Network Security Fundamental With New Global Services
WEBWIRE – Monday, June 19, 2006
Experience Offers Edge in Combating Threats to Network, Information Integrity
JUNE 19, 2006, TORONTO - Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] has expanded its Global Services portfolio with new offerings designed to help enterprises and service providers make security fundamental to transforming their networks with the latest converged IP, multimedia and wireless technologies.
Security is one of Nortel's five key focus areas for services. Nortel's extensive networking expertise can provide an edge in effectively combating threats to network and information integrity.
The newest Nortel Global Services for Security include Security Compliance Services and Managed Security Services. Along with Nortel's Security Consulting Services, these new offerings can make business simpler for network managers by helping to minimize risk, reduce costs and comply with regulations.
Montefiore Medical Center, located in the Bronx, New York, has already relied on Nortel's Security Consulting Services as part of an ongoing network expansion to include mobility and new applications.
"Working with a trusted partner like Nortel is paramount not only to our patients' peace of mind but also to continuing our tradition of excellence," said Brian Hoch, director of computing services for Emerging Health Information Technology, a Montefiore subsidiary. "Nortel's security audit has enabled us to move forward with confidence in rolling out our wireless network and to secure next-generation services for staff and patients."
Nortel has also continued its efforts to provide a breadth of security services and expertise. This includes acquiring an equity stake in SecureInfo, a recognized leader in information security including managed security services, security compliance and policy solutions, and professional security services. In addition, Nortel continues to certify other select, trusted professionals with regional and specialized security experience. This complements the security and information assurance services that Nortel Government Solutions, a U.S. company wholly owned by Nortel, provides to the U.S. Federal Government market.
Compliance services help customers identify gaps in their regulatory posture and implement and maintain security best practices. Nortel's Security Compliance Services help businesses adhere to key security-related regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for companies doing business in the United States; and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada. They also address global standards like ISO 17799, and the PCI (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard mandated by all major credit card issuers to protect cardholder information and transactions.
"Compliance is critical for our customers, particularly in markets like healthcare and finance," said Rod Wallace, director, Security Services, Nortel. "We're helping to streamline compliance across multiple regulations, standards and guidelines, and to measure the effectiveness of security policies."
Nortel's Managed Security Services are designed to help reduce the cost of managing security across multi-vendor networks. Nortel can manage security for as few or as many elements as required, including single point-of-contact responsibility for entire networks. This allows customers to focus more efficiently on business objectives.
According to IDC, a premier global provider of IT and telecommunications market intelligence, the worldwide market for information security services is expected to approach US$17 billion in 2006. IDC expects this figure to increase to approximately US$32.59 billion by 2010, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.7 percent.

Kim visits 'murderer' on death row
1st Jun 2019 11:44 AM
Kim Kardashian was spotted at one of the world's most notorious prisons.
The media personality was seen at San Quentin State Prison, the maximum-security correctional facility for men located near San Francisco
According to gossip website TMZ, she was visiting death row where inmate Kevin Cooper, 61, is imprisoned for committing four murders in Chino Hills, California in the 1980s.

He has been on death row ever since.
Since his conviction, the death penalty has been suspended, then reinstated, and while Cooper sat waiting to die, he has always maintained that he is innocent.

According to TMZ, Kardashian wore a noticeably baggy black jumpsuit for the visit, in which she was seen smiling as she entered America's most notorious prison.
According to Page Six, Kardashian - who is studying to be a lawyer to help her social justice mission - publicly announced her involvement in Cooper's case last year.
"Governor Brown, can you please test the DNA of Kevin Cooper?" Kardashian tweeted then-California Gov. Edmund Brown last June.
Cooper's advocates have argued that DNA found on a T-shirt that Cooper says he never wore should be retested.

For most of 2019, Kardashian and her legal team have been working behind the scenes to free 17 inmates and to help commute the life sentences of first-time nonviolent offenders.
For example, Kardashian backed the case of Alice Marie Johnson who convicted of trafficking cocaine and imprisoned for life.
Kim Kardashian also implored US President Donald Trump to commute the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson was jailed nearly 22 years ago. Picture: Can-Do Clemency/Supplied
Last October, Kardashian asked then-Governor of California Jerry Brown to look into Kevin Cooper's case because of evidence that he had been framed in 1983.
California's new Governor, Gavin Newsom, ordered additional DNA testing in February and the results are not yet in.
In the meantime, Kardashian met face-to-face with Cooper in a two-hour visit.
Governor Newsom opposes the death penalty and has suspended all executions while he is in office.

La résurrection des morts ou résurrection d'entre les morts (koinè :  , anastasis [tôn] nekrôn ; littéralement : « remontée des morts ») est une doctrine commune à plusieurs religions pour lesquelles les morts peuvent être ramenés à la vie. Diverses formes de ce concept peuvent être trouvées dans l'eschatologie chrétienne, islamique, juive et zoroastrienne. Dans le Nouveau Testament, les trois usages courants de ce terme concernent la résurrection de Jésus, la résurrection de tous les hommes et la résurrection de quelques personnages identifiés.

Judaïsme

Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune croyance en la vie après la mort avec récompense ou punition dans le judaïsme avant 200 av. J.-C. dans le judaïsme et le samaritanisme ultérieurs, on pense que le Dieu d'Israël donnera un jour teḥiyyat ha-metim (« la vie aux morts ») aux justes pendant l'âge messianique, et ils vivront pour toujours dans le monde à venir (Olam Ha-Ba). Les Juifs fondent aujourd'hui cette croyance sur le Livre d'Isaïe (Yeshayahu), le Livre d'Ézéchiel (Yeḥez'qel) et le Livre de Daniel (Dani'el). Les Samaritains la basent uniquement sur un passage appelé le Haazinu dans le Pentateuque samaritain, car ils n'acceptent que la Torah et rejettent le reste de la Bible hébraïque.

La résurrection des morts est une croyance fondamentale dans la Mishna qui a été assemblée au début des siècles de l'ère chrétienne. La croyance en la résurrection s'exprime en toutes occasions dans la liturgie juive ; par exemple, dans la prière du matin Elohai Neshamah, dans le Shemoneh 'Esreh et dans les services funéraires. Maïmonide en a fait le dernier de ses treize articles de foi : « Je crois fermement qu'il y aura un réveil des morts à un moment qui plaira au Créateur, béni soit Son nom ».

Dans la Bible hébraïque, il y a trois exemples explicites de personnes ressuscitées d'entre les morts :
 Le prophète Élie prie et Dieu ressuscite un jeune garçon de la mort (1 Rois 17: 17-24)
 Élisée élève le fils de la femme sunamite (2 Rois 4: 32–37); c'était le même enfant dont il avait prédit la naissance auparavant (2 Rois 4: 8-16)
 Le corps d'un mort qui a été jeté dans la tombe d'Elisée est ressuscité lorsque le corps touche les os d'Elisée (2 Rois 13:21)

Pendant la période du Second Temple, le judaïsme a développé une diversité de croyances concernant la résurrection. Le concept de résurrection du corps physique se retrouve dans 2 Maccabées, selon lequel cela se fera par recréation de la chair. La résurrection des morts apparaît également en détail dans les livres extra-canoniques d'Enoch dans l'Apocalypse of Baruch et 2 Esdras. Selon le savant britannique de l'ancien judaïsme Philip R. Davies, il y a « peu ou pas de référence claire… soit à l'immortalité, soit à la résurrection d'entre les morts » dans les textes des manuscrits de la mer Morte. Josèphe et le Nouveau Testament rapportent tous les deux que les Sadducéens ne croyaient pas à une vie après la mort mais les sources varient selon les croyances des Pharisiens. Le Nouveau Testament prétend que les Pharisiens croyaient en la résurrection, mais ne précise pas si cela incluait la chair ou non. Selon Josèphe, qui était lui-même un pharisien, les pharisiens soutenaient que seule l'âme était immortelle et que les âmes des bonnes gens se réincarneraient et « passeraient dans d'autres corps », tandis que « les âmes des méchants subiront une punition éternelle ». L'apôtre Paul, qui était également pharisien déclaré qu'à la résurrection, ce qui est « semé comme un corps naturel est élevé comme un corps spirituel ». Le Livre des jubilés ne se réfèrent qu'à la résurrection de l'âme, ou à une idée plus générale d'une âme immortelle.

Harry Sysling, dans son étude de 1996 sur Teḥiyyat Ha-Metim dans le Targoum palestinien, identifie une utilisation cohérente du terme « seconde mort » dans les textes de la période du Second Temple et les premiers écrits rabbiniques, mais pas dans la Bible hébraïque. « La deuxième mort » est identifiée au jugement, suivi de la résurrection de Gehinnom (« Gehenna ») au Dernier Jour.

Nouveau Testament

Épîtres
Dans la première épître aux Corinthiens chapitre 15, le terme ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν est utilisé pour la résurrection des morts. Dans les versets 54-55, l'apôtre Paul est cité comme citant le livre d'Osée 13:14 où il parle de l'abolition de la mort. Dans les épîtres pauliniennes du Nouveau Testament, l'apôtre Paul a écrit que ceux qui seront ressuscités à la vie éternelle le seront avec des corps spirituels, qui sont impérissables ; la « chair et le sang » des corps naturels et périssables ne peuvent pas hériter du royaume de Dieu et, de même, ceux qui sont corruptibles ne recevront pas d'incorruptibilité (1 Corinthiens 15: 35-54). Même si Paul n'établit pas explicitement que l'immortalité exclut les corps physiques, certains érudits comprennent que, selon Paul, la chair ne doit tout simplement pas jouer de rôle, car nous sommes rendus immortels.

Évangiles et Actes
L'Évangile de Matthieu demande à Jésus d'enseigner / prêcher pour la première fois en 4:17, « Repentez-vous, car le royaume des cieux est proche » Matthieu 6: 19-21. Il introduit l'expression ἀναστάσεως τῶν νεκρῶν, qui est utilisée dans un monologue de Jésus qui parle aux foules de « la résurrection » appelée simplement ῇ ἀναστάσει (Mat. 22: 29–33). Ce type de résurrection se réfère à la résurrection des morts, toute l'humanité, à la fin de cet âge actuel la résurrection générale ou universelle.

Dans les Évangiles, cependant, la résurrection, illustrée par la résurrection de Jésus, est présentée avec un accent croissant sur la résurrection de la chair : du tombeau vide de Marc ; les femmes embrassant les pieds de Jésus ressuscité dans Matthieu ; l'insistance de Jésus ressuscité en Luc qu'il est « de chair et d'os » et pas seulement un esprit ou un pneuma ; jusqu'à Jésus ressuscité encourageant les disciples à toucher ses blessures dans l'évangile de Jean.

Dans les Actes des Apôtres, l'expression ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν a été utilisée par les Apôtres et Paul de Tarse pour défendre la doctrine de la résurrection. Paul a évoqué la résurrection dans son procès devant Ananias de Nédébée. L'expression a été utilisée de diverses manières en référence à une résurrection générale (Actes 24:21) à la fin de cet âge actuel (Actes 23: 6, 24:15).

Christianisme

Credo de Nicée et débuts du christianisme

La plupart des confessions chrétiennes professent le Credo de Nicée, qui affirme la résurrection des morts; la plupart des versions anglaises du Nicene Creed (credo de Nicée) actuellement utilisées comprennent la phrase: « Nous recherchons la résurrection des morts et la vie du monde à venir ».

Les écrivains chrétiens Irénée et Justin Martyr, au  siècle, ont écrit contre l'idée que seule l'âme a survécu. (Le mot « âme » est inconnu en araméen; il est entré dans la théologie chrétienne par le grec.) Justin Martyr insiste sur le fait qu'un homme est à la fois une âme et un corps et que Christ a promis d'élever les deux, tout comme son propre corps a été élevé.

La doctrine chrétienne de la résurrection est basée sur la résurrection du Christ. Il n'y avait aucune croyance grecque ancienne en une résurrection générale des morts. En effet, ils ont soutenu qu'une fois un corps détruit, il n'y avait aucune possibilité de revenir à la vie car même les dieux ne pouvaient pas recréer la chair.

Selon H Crouzel et V Grossi, l'affirmation de la résurrection des morts ou de la chair est une constante de la foi de l'Eglise ancienne qui est généralement précisée par trois éléments. La résurrection des morts est un évènement eschatologique qui aura lieu le dernier jour, à la seconde venue du Christ. Elle est universelle, car tous les hommes ressusciteront. Elle inclut à la fois identité et nouveauté du corps ressuscité. Cette foi en la résurrection fut la pierre de touche du christianisme ancien, face à la pensé spiritualiste grecque qui refusait de reconnaître au corps de l'homme ce qui pourrait être un bien pour lui. Ils citent parmi les avocats chrétiens anciens de la résurrection des morts Clément de Rome (fin du premier siècle), Justin de Rome et son élève Tatien,  Théophile d'Antioche, Méliton de Sardes, Athénagoras, Irénée de Lyon et Tertullien.

On trouve les écrits sur la question de Justin, Tatien, Irenée de Lyon  Athenagoras,et Minucius Félix dans Premiers Ecrits chrétiens de la Pléiade. Ils visent à répondre au scepticisme grec traditionnel. Le corps humain ne pouvait pas être anéanti, seulement dissous, il ne pouvait même pas être intégré dans le corps de ceux qui le dévoraient. Ainsi, Dieu n'avait qu'à rassembler les parties infimes des corps dissous lors de la résurrection.

Les Églises chrétiennes traditionnelles, c'est-à-dire celles qui adhèrent aux croyances, continuent de soutenir la croyance qu'il y aura une résurrection générale et universelle des morts à « la Fin des temps », comme décrit par Paul quand il a dit : « Il a nommé un jour où il jugera le monde » (Actes 17:31 LSG) et « Il y aura une résurrection des morts, des justes et des injustes » (Actes 24:15 LSG).

Ère moderne
Les premiers pères de l'Église chrétienne ont défendu la résurrection des morts contre la croyance païenne qui dit que l'âme immortelle va dans le monde souterrain immédiatement après la mort. Cependant, c'est actuellement une croyance chrétienne populaire que les âmes des justes vont au ciel.

À la fin de la période médiévale, l'ère moderne a ramené la pensée chrétienne non plus sur la résurrection du corps mais sur l'immortalité de l'âme. Cette mutation résulte d'un changement dans le zeitgeist, en réaction à la Renaissance et plus tard aux Lumières. André Dartigues a observé que surtout « du , le langage de la piété populaire n'évoquait plus la résurrection de l'âme mais la vie éternelle. Bien que les manuels de théologie mentionnent encore la résurrection, ils la traitent davantage comme une question spéculative que comme un problème existentiel ».

Ce changement n'a été soutenu par aucune Écriture, mais en grande partie par la religion populaire des Lumières, le Déisme. Le déisme conçu un être suprême, comme la première cause philosophique, mais il a nié toute interaction personnelle ou relationnelle significative avec ce concept. Le déisme, qui était largement influencé par la rationalité et la raison, pouvait permettre de croire à l'immortalité de l'âme, mais pas nécessairement à la résurrection des morts. Le déiste américain Ethan Allen démontre cette pensée dans son travail, Reason the Only Oracle of Man (1784), où il soutient dans la préface que presque tous les problèmes philosophiques dépassent la compréhension de l'humanité, y compris les miracles du christianisme, bien qu'il conçoive l'immortalité d'une âme immatérielle.

Influence sur le droit civil et la coutume
Dans la théologie chrétienne, on croyait autrefois que pour pouvoir se lever le jour du Jugement dernier, le corps devait être entier et de préférence enterré avec les pieds à l'est pour que la personne se lève face à Dieu. Une loi du Parlement du règne du roi Henri VIII stipulait que seuls les cadavres des meurtriers exécutés pouvaient être utilisés pour la dissection. Restreindre l'utilisation des corps uniquement à ceux des cadavres de meurtriers a été considéré comme une peine supplémentaire pour leurs crimes. Si l'on pense que le démembrement a mis fin à la possibilité de résurrection d'un corps intact le jour du jugement dernier, alors une exécution posthume est un moyen efficace de punir un criminel. Les attitudes à l'égard de cette question ont changé très lentement au Royaume-Uni et ne se sont manifestées dans la loi qu'au moment de l'adoption de l'Anatomy Act en 1832. Pour une grande partie de la population britannique, ce n'est qu'au  que le lien entre le corps et la résurrection a finalement été rompu, car la crémation n'a été légalisée qu'en 1902.

Confessions chrétiennes

Catholicisme
Dans le catholicisme, on lit dans le Catéchisme de l'Église catholique au numéro 996 cette citation d'Augustin : « Sur aucun point la foi chrétienne ne rencontre plus de contradiction que sur la résurrection de la chair ». Cette opposition avait commencé bien avant l'époque de saint Augustin. Selon la Summa theologica de saint Thomas d'Aquin, les êtres spirituels qui ont été rétablis dans des corps glorifiés auront les qualités de base suivantes :
 impassibilité (incorruptible / indolore) - immunité contre la mort et la douleur,
 subtilité (perméabilité) - absence de contrainte dû à la matière,
 agilité - obéissance à l'esprit en relation avec le mouvement et l'espace (la capacité de se déplacer dans l'espace et le temps à la vitesse de la pensée),
 clarté - beauté resplendissante de l'esprit manifesté dans le corps (comme lorsque Jésus a été transfiguré sur le mont Thabor).

L'Église catholique ajoute :

Protestantisme

Anglicanisme
Dans l'anglicanisme, des chercheurs tels que l'évêque de Durham NT Wright ont défendu la primauté de la résurrection dans la foi chrétienne. Interrogé par Time en 2008, un évêque et théologien anglican senior NT Wright a parlé de « l'idée de résurrection corporelle que les gens nient quand ils parlent de leurs âmes qui vont au paradis », ajoutant : « J'ai souvent entendu des gens dire : « Je vais bientôt au paradis et je n'aurai pas besoin de ce corps stupide là-bas, Dieu merci ». C'est une distorsion très dommageable, d'autant plus qu'elle n'est pas intentionnelle ». Au lieu de cela, Wright explique : « Dans la Bible, on nous dit que vous mourrez et que vous entrerez dans un état intermédiaire ». C'est « conscient », mais « par rapport à la vie corporelle, ce sera comme dormir ». Cela sera suivi d'une résurrection dans de nouveaux corps, dit-il. « Notre culture s'intéresse beaucoup à la vie après la mort, mais le Nouveau Testament s'intéresse beaucoup plus à ce que j'ai appelé la vie après la vie après la mort ».

Parmi les quarante-deux articles originaux de l'Église d'Angleterre, on lisait : « La résurrection des morts n'est pas encore réalisée, comme si elle n'appartenait qu'à l'âme qui, par la grâce du Christ, est ressuscitée de la mort du péché, mais cela doit être recherché au dernier jour ; car alors (comme l'Écriture le témoigne le plus manifestement) pour tous ceux qui sont morts, leurs propres corps, chair et os, seront restaurés, afin que l'homme tout entier (selon son œuvre) récolte récompenses ou punitions, suivant qu'il a vécu vertueusement ou méchamment ».

Baptisme
Des baptistes, James Leo Garrett Jr., E. Glenn Hinson et James E. Tull écrivent que « les baptistes ont traditionnellement tenu fermement à la croyance que le Christ s'est levé triomphant de la mort, du péché et de l'enfer dans une résurrection corporelle d'entre les morts ».

Luthéranisme
Dans le luthéranisme, Martin Luther a personnellement cru et enseigné la résurrection des morts en combinaison avec le sommeil de l'âme. Cependant, ce n'est pas un enseignement courant du luthéranisme et la plupart des luthériens croient traditionnellement à la résurrection du corps en combinaison avec l'âme immortelle. Selon le Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS), le dernier jour, tous les morts seront ressuscités. Leurs âmes seront ensuite réunies avec les mêmes corps qu'ils avaient avant de mourir. Les corps seront alors changés, ceux des méchants en un état de honte et de tourment éternels, ceux des justes en un état éternel de gloire céleste.

Méthodisme
Dans le méthodisme, le révérend M. Douglas Meeks, professeur de théologie et d'études wesleyennes à la Vanderbilt Divinity School, déclare qu'« il est très important que les chrétiens tiennent à la résurrection du corps ». F. Belton Joyner dans United Methodist Answers, déclare que le « Nouveau Testament ne parle pas d'une immortalité naturelle de l'âme, comme si nous ne mourrions jamais réellement. Il parle de la résurrection du corps, l'affirmation qui est faite chaque fois que nous affirmons le credo historique des apôtres et le classique Nicene Creed », donnée dans The United Methodist Hymnal. Au ¶128 du Livre de Discipline de l'Église Méthodiste Libre, il est écrit : « Il y aura une résurrection corporelle des morts des justes et des injustes, ceux qui ont fait du bien jusqu'à la résurrection de la vie, ceux qui ont fait mal à la résurrection de la damnation. Le corps ressuscité sera un corps spirituel, mais la personne sera entièrement identifiable. La résurrection du Christ est la garantie de la résurrection à la vie pour ceux qui sont en lui ». John Wesley, le fondateur de l'Église méthodiste, dans son sermon Sur la résurrection des morts, a défendu la doctrine, déclarant « Il y a de nombreux endroits de l'Écriture qui la déclarent clairement. Saint Paul, dans le verset 53 de ce chapitre, nous dit que « ce corruptible doit revêtir l'incorruption, et ce mortel doit revêtir l'immortalité ». [1 Corinthiens 15:53] ». En outre, des hymnes méthodistes notables, tels que ceux de Charles Wesley, lient « notre résurrection et la résurrection du Christ ».

Conditionalisme
Dans le conditionnalisme chrétien, il y a plusieurs églises, telles que les anabaptistes et les sociniens de la réforme, puis l'église adventiste du septième jour, les christadelphiens, les témoins de Jéhovah et les théologiens de différentes traditions qui rejettent l'idée de l'immortalité d'une âme non physique comme un vestige de néoplatonisme et d'autres traditions païennes. Dans cette école de pensée, les morts restent morts (et ne progressent pas immédiatement vers un ciel, un enfer ou un purgatoire) jusqu'à ce qu'une résurrection physique de certains ou de tous les morts se produise à la fin des temps, ou au paradis restauré sur terre, dans une résurrection générale. Certains groupes, les Christadelphiens en particulier, considèrent que ce n'est pas une résurrection universelle, et qu'à ce moment de la résurrection aura lieu le Jugement dernier.

Évangélisme
Avec les évangéliques, La base doctrinale de l'Alliance évangélique affirme la croyance en « la résurrection du corps, le jugement du monde par notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, avec la bénédiction éternelle des justes et la punition éternelle des méchants ».

Islam
Dans l'Islam, Yawm al-Qiyamah ( « Jour de la Résurrection ») ou ad-Din Yawm ( « le Jour du Jugement ») est considéré comme l'évaluation finale de Dieu de l'humanité. La séquence des événements (selon la croyance la plus répandue) est l'annihilation de toutes les créatures, la résurrection du corps et le jugement de toutes les créatures sensibles. L'heure exacte à laquelle ces événements se produiront est inconnue, mais il semblerait qu'il y ait des signes majeurs et mineurs qui doivent se produire à l'approche de l'heure de Qiyamah (heure de fin). De nombreux versets coraniques, en particulier les premiers, sont dominés par l'idée de l'approche du jour de la résurrection.

Sous le signe de nafkhatu'l-ula, une trompette sonnera pour la première fois et entraînera la mort des pécheurs restants. Ensuite, il y aura une période de quarante ans. Le onzième signe est le son d'une deuxième trompette pour signaler la résurrection comme ba'as ba'da'l-mawt. Ensuite, tous seront nus et courront vers le lieu de rassemblement, tandis que les ennemis d'Allah voyageront sur le visage, les jambes droites.

Le Jour de la Résurrection est l'un des six articles de la foi islamique. Tout le monde rendra compte de ses actes dans ce monde et les gens iront au paradis ou en enfer.

Zoroastrisme
La croyance zoroastrienne en une rénovation de la fin des temps de la terre est connue sous le nom de frashokereti, qui comprend une certaine forme de réveil des morts qui peut être attestée au plus tôt au . À la différence du judaïsme, c'est la résurrection de tous les morts à la purification et au renouvellement universels du monde. Dans la doctrine frashokereti, la rénovation finale de l'univers, c'est quand le mal sera détruit que tout le reste sera alors en parfaite unité avec Dieu (Ahura Mazda). Le terme signifie probablement « rendre merveilleux, excellent ». Les prémisses doctrinales sont (1) la bonne volonté finira par l'emporter sur le mal; (2) la création était initialement parfaitement bonne, mais a ensuite été corrompue par le mal; (3) le monde sera finalement restauré à la perfection qu'il avait au moment de la création; (4) le « salut pour l'individu dépendait de la somme des pensées, des paroles et des actes (de cette personne), et il ne pouvait y avoir aucune intervention, qu'elle soit compatissante ou capricieuse, de la part d'un être divin pour changer cela ». Ainsi, chaque être humain porte la responsabilité du sort de sa propre âme et partage simultanément la responsabilité du sort du monde.
