So we had our anatomy scan today. Baby was practicing boxing moves and playing peekaboo. Found out what the duck baby is...little one was uber excited to show off what was between the legs.
I had to hold back the tears so my stepkids wouldn't see after they came back in the room that my dreams of bows and tutus was crushed when our little ducky revealed his junk with such pride.
DH was happy either way, but happier knowing our little duck is health and growing. Well time to let it all sink in that we have been blessed with a little boy after having previous losses despite our, rather my, dream of having a little girl.
Regardless mommy and daddy love you Aidan Lestat.


« San Diego for Christmas or Bust.
Merry Christmas!!! I hope and trust everyone is enjoying their Christmas, or lack thereof, wherever in the world they are! I am in San Diego! That's right I made it! I've been greatly enjoying my first morning in almost two weeks not on the bike, celebrating of course, with a cup of coffee. I'll be off the bike here for at least a few days getting ready for the next stage of the adventure, but today? It's Christmas. I fought to be here so I plan to enjoy it.
I rolled into my sister's driveway yesterday afternoon, and an hour later found myself in the hot tub (that's right her house has a hot tub) slurping on a beer, reminiscing about the 1059.7 km of road between here and San Francisco. It had been a pretty grueling 11 day journey with no rest days, but it got me "home" for Christmas.
The last four days from Lompoc were pretty tough on the body – 470.5 km in 4 days will do that – but for the most part I just put on cruise control, let Tony do all the work for me, and watched the kilometers fly by. You might think that the hardest day would have been the longest – the epic 145 km day from Malibu, through LA, to Dana Point – but you would be mistaken. No, the most difficult day was THE DAY OF WIND from Carpinteria, through Ventura and Oxnard, to Malibu.
It was meant to be an "easy" day for me, just a little over 100 km, most of it very very flat, but the winds changed all that. That day the term "head-wind" was redefined for me.
Old Definition: head wind – A wind blowing directly against the course of a moving bicycle.
New Definition: head wind – An unyielding and impenetrable wall of climatological fury, comprising of an immense physical force that is only surpassed by its infinite powers of demoralisation.
Riding out of Oxnard I found myself facing straight into a strong easterly wind on a 10 km stretch of farm road. By all accounts this road looked innocent enough – it was a perfectly flat, perfectly straight stretch of unbroken tarmac passing between sunny strawberry fields and a blue cloudless sky – but it was hell. It took over an hour of hammering away at a gear that is usually reserved for long steep climbs for me to traverse the short distance. It was supremely demoralising. Every inch was a battle, and every gust an added insult. Every smiling person driving past me in their comfy climate-controlled motor vehicle was laughing at me, mocking me for my indubitable impotence, giggling over my pathetic glacial crawl towards hysteria. Eventually though, with a flurry of spanish curses and a tantrum of pistonics, I arrived at the end of the road and triumphantly rounded the corner.
And then it got worst.
Back on the curving coastal road, riding around Point Mugu was actually a little scary. Going around each bend I would be smacked with a wall of air that would very nearly knock me off the bike. Then I would be hit again from the other side and bombarded with a deluge of skin tearing sand and stinging sea spray. My front panniers became sails, and my boat was veering all over the shoulder. This went on for kilometer after kilometer after kilometer. In the words of piglet, it was a blustery day.
After THE DAY OF WIND, the next two days were a breeze. It was simply a matter of putting in the hours on the bike, eating enough food, and sleeping for 11 hours each night.
So now I am in San Diego, it's Christmas Day and the sister and I are off to our aunt and uncle's house for Christmas lunch/dinner.
Perfect timing. Because I am starving.

Have you ever spoke to any deaf person? You know how difficult sometimes it becomes to understand their language. They will not be able to express their feelings. They try to say something and if we are not able to understand that then they will search for anyone who is ready hand free phone to help them to speak to us.
Free spyware is an interesting advancement in communication technology. We've seen it used on computers all of the time but never on mobile phones before. And yes, it is free cell phone spy software. Some might consider it "spying" but it doesn't really have to be. As parents, we all bear the right to supervise our children especially when we're the ones paying their phone bills! All it takes is a quick installation on any smart phone or BlackBerry. With a simple user name and password, you can instantly begin monitoring any action on it straight from your computer just like the spy on hands free news story seen on TV!
Sites that cater to the dating requirements of the deaf or the hard of hearing community in the world speak the same language. They have researched the needs and wants of new hearing aid. They have set up their sites in such a way that it is easy to navigate and easy to understand.
There are a variety of hands free products you can choose when you are looking to use your iPhone hands free. Some are better options than others depending on your circumstances. The biggest factor for most people is cost. Some of the Bluetooth headsets that you see in stores can be over a hundred dollars or even more. With so many people looking for an alternative with better value, is it any surprise that a product like Jupiter Jack has become available as an option? On the official website, the Jupiter Jack costs just ten dollars and you get two of them for that price. According to the makers, it is something that gives you a hands free device for your iPhone, but without the high costs associated with other products.
If you are ASL (american sign language) fluent, you can volunteer to hearing aids teach and/or keep an eye on the children throughout the night on Wednesdays. The church is also in need of fluent interpreters for worship service on Sundays. You can reach the church office at (254) 836-9584.
Having a yard and garden you can be proud of and enjoy with family, neighbors and friends is one of life's simple pleasures. Unfortunately, the process of creating a garden is not always so simple. Aside from the usual concerns about watering, lawn feeding and pest control, you may occasionally find that you have to remove a tree from the landscape. The process of removing a tree requires passive sound careful planning and preparation.
Over the recent years, Bose has invented a series that was supposed to be the definition of passive noise canelling headsets, but they were just awful, static, and uncomfortable. This specific series was the "quiet comfort" headphones and they consisted of the QC, QC2, and the QC3. Now Bose has made a new addition to the series the Quiet Comfort 15. The QC15 should be put into its own series, because its way better than those that came before it. The QC15 is the definition of passive noise and they are wireless.
You'll need to make sure your diet is healthy and contains these because they can help prevent ringing in the ears. Vitamin B is especially important because the passive noise cancelling headset lack of it is known to help trigger tinnitus. If necessary, use high-quality supplements.

Charlie tweed
Experimental video | hdv | color | 4'40'' | United Kingdom / | 2016
Oporovak proposes a methodology for what it calls 'information recovery and the solving of â integrity problems. Taking its inspiration from data recovery solutions and the language of achieving complete visibility via forms of HD technology and big data the film is part alternative software training video and part the voice of a subversive hybrid machine. It takes the intent of information restoration into a new context with its apparent ability to manipulate all sorts of digital and non-digital materials via its sentient interface and performative actions which apparently can operate at molecular level. The film utilises the voice of an unreliable narrator who acts to draw the viewer in and raise their awareness of inbuilt human desires for clarity and visibility and the desire to develop new forms of technology that can manipulate all sorts of digital and physical materials. The final section of the film looks towards a `sensing mechanism` that has the functionality to manipulate and alter any type of visual material at its source and the capability of connecting with and manipulating the subconscious of its viewers.
Charlie Tweed is an artist and academic based in Bristol, UK. He has a PhD in art practice (Kingston University) and an MFA in art practice (Goldsmiths College). His video, text and performance based works interrogate the affective qualities of digital technologies and their use in the control and management of populations and environments. He employ strategies of re-appropriation and speculative fiction, often taking on personas of anonymous collectives and hybrid machines, to outline subversive plans for enhancing and escaping control mechanisms and renegotiating relations between human and non human.

[ModLib] Jacket Range Project: Preparing to start over.
Previous message: Fwd: [ModLib] Jacket Range Project: Adams; "Education," & Discussion of design.
Next message: [ModLib] Jacket Range Project: Preparing to start over.
According to Ron we already have "The Problem" - I.E., the four jackets for Adam's don't even have a chronological order because one was a temporary misprint.  I needed a way to refer to them without using the date above them, since we expect those to change, and I thought we would want the reference method to stay constant. So I gave a brief description of each that I thought was sufficient to distinguish the four, but I guess it was confusing and needs to be dropped.
How about we do this.  Scot can run through the photos and add the letter designations to website.  Then anyone giving me a date can just refer to it by the letter there. The chronology issue won't be a problem; the jacets will have their ltter designations and whatever date ranges they turn out to have their photos can be arranged anyway Scot wants.  If the chronological order puts them out of A, B, C order so waht?

7 Thoughts on the Strangeness of Silent Hill
Peter Tieryas
Filed to: Silent HillsFiled to: Silent Hills
Tieryas
The best Silent Hill games have always been about psychological terror, the emotions that haunt and wrack the protagonists with guilt and regret. Yes, thrills abound and there are horrific monsters, but it's the mental anguish that overwhelms players and keeps us going back to the city in a murky haze that is nebulous as the morality of those within (even if I do hate their bathrooms). With the news of a brand new Silent Hill directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro starring Norman Reedus upon us and some incredible footage to boot, I wanted to reflect on 7 thoughts I've had on the strangeness of Silent Hill.
Hideo Kojima And Guillermo del Toro Team Up For New Silent Hill
Yeah, this is actually happening. Classic horror game series Silent Hill is back, with Metal Gear …
Silent Hill Isn't All That Silent
There is rarely any silence in Silent Hill. Any room I enter, any hill I run past, any empty street I dash down, I hear cackling, screams, metal screeches, babies crying, and hell's soundtrack in full stereo. Akira Yamaoka is the supreme conductor of terror. Some have suggested the name, Silent Hill, came from the Japanese prefecture, Shizuoka, whose literal translation into English was either Quiet or Silent Hill. The fact that the city of Atami, located within the prefecture, was used as geographic reference for the developers, further adds credence to the idea. Coincidentally, the first town in Pokemon Gold and Silver for the Gameboy Color was called "Silent Hills," but presumably changed as the first SH was released during its production. Within the lore of the Native Americans in the game who resided near the Toluca Lake area, Silent Hill was first known as the "Place of Silenced Spirits." The hills don't have eyes. They have loud mouths who are crying out for attention.
The Metal Gear Solid Connection
Silent Hill pays tribute to many works of literature, whether in its storyline or in its street names (like Bradbury, Koontz, and Bachman Street). But I was surprised to find out that Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park, Rising Sun, and Disclosure, was also an influence, as indicated by the existence of Crichton Street. Crichton Street is home to the Konami Burger in Central Silent Hill. It also happens to have several boxes outside full of MSG, or monosodium glutamate. Oddly enough, these boxes resemble the boxes Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid hides in within Shadow Moses Island. Some players have speculated this was a subtle nod to Kojima years before he would take the helm of Silent Hill. I think what really happened was Konami Burger had a corporate deal to provide all the catering and food for Shadow Moses, and then the boxes were retrofitted for military use. MSG-doused fries and strange burgers were served at every meal to the Genome soldiers, which would explain in part why Johnny Sasaki was in the bathroom all the time.
Why are Cults in Gaming Always Evil?
Why is the Order so evil? Why do they want to impose their will upon everyone else? Why do they want to bring about the Apocalypse and have everyone else die miserably so they can hide away in Paradise? Why do they think this woman goddess, who looks like a hideous monster and demands human sacrifices, will bring them peace? Wasn't it this very goddess, who according to their beliefs, took away their immortality? Can't they worship their religion privately without imposing Armageddon on the rest of us? Why does this supreme goddess get her ass so easily kicked by Heather Mason? Why does Pyramid Head's sword remind me of Cloud's sword from Final Fantasy 7? What is it about Native American burial sites that spurs murder and violence in The Shining and Silent Hill? With so much fog around them, are they concerned about global warming and climate change at all?
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Silent Hill Would Make For A Strange Duo
Silent Hill has had a lot of influences including Jacob's Ladder, the films of David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, Stephen King's The Mist, Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, and more. But it's the creepy art parallels between Silent Hill and Kindergarten Cop that have tripped me out. Seriously. (I suspect it's most likely that the Japanese developers used footage from Kindergarten Cop as reference footage for a typical American school in modeling Silent Hill's own schools). Schwarzenegger has tried his hand at action, drama, and comedy, but never horror. At least, the closest he came was Predator, but that was more of an action flick. Obviously, a Silent Hill featuring Arnold would go against everything that makes the series what it is. But how many times can you feature an everyday main character finding someone they've lost before it gets repetitive? Homecoming tried to mix it up with a combat veteran, and Downpour brought 3D and rain into the mix.

Those Killer Babies From Silent Hill 1 Still Scare the Crap Out of Me.
I had nightmares about those killer babies AKA Grey Children with knives in the school of the first Silent Hill. Even being low polygonal models, the combination of limited sight and noisy radio crackle coupled with ghost children brandishing blades was enough to strike terror and make me wish daytime would come ASAP. It was the same with the Pyramid Heads in Silent Hill 2, which, I'd later learn, were subconscious projections by James Sunderland created by his guilt and his desire to be punished for his crimes (which were then given further shape by what knowledge he had of the past executioners in Silent Hill). That's why others don't see the monsters James or Harry do, often running freely about. In that context, the opening menu where you select the difficulty level is a psychological test about your own perceptions of yourself. Hard= masochistic. Beginner = clearer conscience meaning less likely to die of self-inflicted wounds from the psyche. Which did you pick?

Silent Hill 4: The Room Made Me Scared of my Apartment
The Room was probably one of the biggest departures in the series, not even taking place in the titular Silent Hill for most of the game. The mundanity of being stuck in that apartment in first person view was pretty scary as I'd look out the peephole and wonder what was going on outside. I got so immersed, I found myself getting nervous in real life when I'd hear real neighbors passing by. Part 4 was originally developed as a new direction in the series with portals opening up in his bathroom. I spent much of my time running away from serial killer Walter Sullivan's unkillable victims. Walter Sullivan believed the physical Room to be his mother and wanted to resurrect god by killing 21 people including Henry Townshend. While the game wasn't perfect, I appreciated their attempt at innovating and changing the series formula. It also made me scared to leave my room so that I had to order pizza three days straight until I found I was stuck inside and couldn't leave until I wrote this list about my strangest thoughts concerning Silent Hill.

Who's Really Running the Show?
According to the secret ending of Silent Hill 2, Mira is the Shiba Inu who's really running all the evil machinations going on within Silent Hill. Yes, all this time, you thought you were in control, but it was Mira pulling the strings. Did he write that letter to James Sunderland using his doggy paws? It's also interesting to note that every new Silent Hill game has had a new director. Keiichirō Toyama, who created and the directed the first Silent Hill, left Team Silent to make the Siren series. Masashi Tsuboyama then directed the second one, Kazuhide Nakazawa the third one, and Suguru Murakoshi, part 4. After that, different studios developed each of the new iterations and it's no wonder they all feel different as each sequel has had someone new at the helm (with the exception of Shattered Memories which was a remake of the first one and directed by Mark Simmons who also directed Origins). Even with the same premise and same city as background, interpretation often leads to vastly different results. I can't wait to see what Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro brew next.

Unsecure database exposes details of 26,000 Honda Motors customers
Unsecure Elasticsearch cluster owned by the Honda Motor Company left 976 million records of about 26,000 customers open online
An unsecure Elasticsearch cluster owned by the Honda Motor Company containing 976 million records of about 26,000 customers was discovered by security researcher Bob Diachenko.
"On 11 December, 2019, I identified an open and unprotected Elasticsearch cluster with 976 million records, which appeared to be part of Honda North America infrastructure, exposed online to anyone with a web browser," the researcher wrote in his blog.
The database, apparently part of the Honda's North American operation, did not need any sort of authentication, including passwords, he wrote. The data held by the cluster includes full name, email address, phone number, mailing address, vehicle make and model, vehicle VIN number and agreement ID.
He immediately notified Honda and the company "acted promptly and secured the server within hours after initial notification", he wrote.
"Honda should be commended on how quickly it acted to take down their server after being made aware of this potentially dangerous vulnerability," said Shlomie Liberow, security engineer at HackerOne.
"Organisations that rely on digital services need to have processes in place to both allow and incentivise third party researchers to disclose vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Honda was fortunate that an ethical researcher got to this vulnerability before it was taken advantage of and fortunately it doesn't look like the data exposed was ever accessed."
"The database in question is a data logging and monitoring server for telematics services for North America covering the process for new customer enrollment as well as internal logs," read the company's reply to Diachenko, which was published on his blog.
He was unable to confirm the exact number of unique customer records. He estimated one million records, while a Honda statement puts the number of unique consumer related records in this database to be around 26,000.
"We are basing this number on a detailed review of the databases on this server, eliminating duplicate information and eliminating the data that does not contain consumer PII," said the company's reply.
"We can also say with certainty that there was no financial, credit card or password information exposed on this database. The server on which the database resides was misconfigured on 21 October, 2019."
This is the second instance of hosting unsecure data online by Honda this year. Justin Paine, director of trust and safety at Cloudflare, in August disclosed the details about an unsecure ElasticSearch database, which turned out to be related to the internal network and computers of Honda.
The exposed database --- another ElasticSearch cluster -- contained approximately 134 million documents totalling some 40GB of data. Honda promptly secured the database after Paine notified the company.
"Just because a product is freely available and highly scalable doesn't mean you can skip the basic security recommendations and configurations. Beyond ensuring that products and services are correctly deployed and maintained by competent, experienced staff, organizations must also secure their cloud-based data by adopting a data-centric security model that protects the data at rest, in motion, and in use – even if a properly configured system is compromised," said Jonathan Deveaux, head of enterprise data protection at comforte AG.
"If anyone is still snoozing while dreaming that their data is safe while 'hidden in plain sight' on an 'anonymous' cloud resource, the string of lapses around ElasticSearch instances is a wakeup call in the form of a 3 am fire alarm."
However, Diachenko rejected the notion that Elasticsearch clusters are inherently unsecure.
"In general, Elasticsearch is very convenient and useful platform. I use it myself. But in most cases it is a configuration problem or lack of knowledge on cyber-hygiene," he told SC Media UK.

Mid-century curtains, at least in the start of the period, were anything but spectacular but these curtains are designed to be ostentatious, heavyweight and fashionable.
The pattern is a simple one, and there must have been thousands of patterns like this, but the colour creates that luxurious 'wall of colour' effect to add a whole colour block to a room.
The design was made in Xara Designer and the image produced and rendered in Cinema 4D.
Mid-century? Yes, it is and this fabric design shows its practicality and versatility by being used as a transportation fabric.
An excellent all-purpose design, this pattern has been in use for decades and still can be found giving good service today. For this example, the model is the Maxis car from Daz and the image was created in Daz Studio 4.7 while the design was fabricated in Xara Designer.
A super new dress and to go with it a new pattern designed and created from the best of mid-century taste and colour.
The dress is the new Katlyn dress available now from Daz while the model is a Genesis 2, probably the standard character rather than any of the derivatives. The new background is something I made from a wall belonging to something else and a standard floor I created. As with so many of my patterns, the design was created in Xara Designer and, of course, rendered in Daz Studio 4.7.
I am pleased with the look of the set as well as with the dress pattern.
No, it's not a Polka Dot because the dots aren't regular (and neither are they round) so it's just a spotted top.
It was actually a lot harder to create than it looks but it was fun and I think the result is a good one. Yeah, but what about a colour, I hear you say. OK, you're right, it would benefit from a colour and I will have a go, I initially only made it in grey scale but I can colour it if you want and see how we get on.
This is a very straightforward but very useful fashion material inspired directly from from the 1960s and designed for everyday use.
There were lots of patterns like this used for skirts and tops and many other applications, including curtaining and the like. The pattern once again is a very simple one but one that was popular in the early 1960s and which has remained in use until today.
The pattern was created in Xara Designer and the image rendered in Cinema 4D as a length of material.
Yes, this is a fairly uninspiring fabric pattern, I agree, but I have done my best to make it as attractive a proposition as I can!
The pattern is a simple dot, the sort of design that adorned many a business or interview outfit in the 1950s and 60s. It is a lasting design of course and can be found even to this day – and used for many a similar purpose.
The image is in fact part of a character that I am presently working on. The background is a stage set and the model is Ginger, a Daz Genesis 2 character, who is a singer and dancer; the skirt is Neat Pleats.
The pattern was put together in Xara Designer and the image created in Daz Studio 4.7 and finished in Photoshop.
This is a sort of stylised floral, the type of pattern that was popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s and it is here used as curtain material.
The look and the design are very much mid-century as is the rather standard colouring and I have included a swatch to see the pattern better. This design was made in Xara Designer and the image was produced in Cinema 4D using the new fabric channel.


Marion Fawkes (born 3 December 1948) is a British former racewalker. She was the first official female world champion in racewalking through her victory at the 1979 IAAF World Race Walking Cup. She broke four world records in her career.
From North Shields, she was unusual for a racewalker in that she stood at 4 foot 11 inches (1.50 m). She joined her local athletics club in 1966 and soon began taking part in regional competition. Women's walking was still at a very early stage of development and there were no officially sanctioned major championships for female athletes. She was an amateur athlete and maintained a full-time job in the British civil service to support her sporting career.
The Women's Amateur Athletic Association (WAAA) held walks from 1960 onwards and it was at these events that Fawkes established herself. After a runner-up finish to Betty Jenkins in the 3000 m walk at the WAAA Championships she topped the podium in the 6.5 km (4-mile) event at the WAAA Senior Road Walking Championships. The following year she beat Jenkins on the track by over half a minute and retained her road walk title. She dropped back down the order in 1975, being runner-up to Ginney Lovell in the 5000 m walk and losing to Judy Farr at the road event. In 1976 she was reduced to third behind Farr and Carol Tyson. She began to perform better on the track, including three WAAA wins over 5000 m between 1976 and 1979, as well as a win over 10,000 m in 1979. At 48:37.6 minutes, the latter performance remained a championship record for a decade. She took on and beat Norway's champion walker Thorill Gylder at the Nordic Race Walking Championships that same year.
The peak of Fawkes competitive career came at the 1979 IAAF World Race Walking Cup. It was the first time that a women's race was officially sanctioned at the competition and Fawkes defeated her compatriot Carol Tyson to become the first ever global champion in women's racewalking. Her winning time of 22:51 minutes for the five-kilometre road walk was a new world record. Fawkes had competed at the 1975 IAAF World Race Walking Cup (sixth) and 1977 IAAF World Race Walking Cup (failed to finish), but these were invitational events and not part of the official programme.
Fawkes also won the women's European Economic Community walking championship in 1979. Her walking career wound down after that point as she chose to start a family, although she had managed to set 23 British records, seven European records and four world records in the preceding four years. She continued to compete in the sport at a lower level and set a masters athletics world record over 10,000 m in 1989. She took a greater focus on coaching young walkers and officiated in her later years.

With Ernie Moniz, We Finally Have An Energy Secretary
By Hank Campbell | April 11th 2014 04:00 AM | Print | E-mail
I was cautiously optimistic when Dr. Ernie Moniz was tapped as Energy Secretary, for two reasons. First, he wasn't picked because he was obsessed with CO2 and $9 a gallon gas, the way Steven Chu was, and second, he had political experience.
The only thing better was if he had some actual energy experience, but that is asking too much. Bizarre left-wing anti-energy pundits like Joe Romm think actual experience is overrated anyway. Perish the thought that energy, which is driven by the private sector, actually have billions of dollars of taxpayer money being managed by someone who knows how to make it work.
Not everyone is happy with him, of course. Environmentalists are concerned that he did not pass the anti-fracking, anti-nuclear litmus test while Republicans think he does not invest enough in fossil fuel research - but that is just politics. If both fringes have something to complain about he might be right where he needs to be.
House Science, Space and Technology Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) says it's not an "all of the above" approach unless fossil fuels are given equal time, but even he can't believe that. We already know fossil fuels work, we just need the EPA not to throw up irrational roadblocks while we bridge to something better. The EPA had to be taken to court and told they couldn't blame flacking for everything without doing any studies first. That's not protecting us, it is using unelected bureaucrats in government to placate the militant base of the party in charge.

What needs help is nuclear power - that has been the victim of a vitriolic anti-science agenda for decades. Democrats were so anti-science during the Clinton presidency that he and Senator John Kerry got cheers when they killed nuclear energy in America, right after they killed the Superconducting Super Collider. The regulations and restrictions are so over-the-top on nuclear science that clearly it needs a subsidy; no corporation would be dumb enough to do it without government partnership. And the government is doing that, with $6.5 billion for the AP1000 Generation III+ project, the first allowed in 30 years. Nuclear is as green as you can get.
What happened during the 30 years that anti-science activism blocked nuclear energy in America? We relied more on coal, and thus led the world in CO2 emissions, and got all this global warming concern. Thanks, Greenpeace!
Sure, before Moniz the administration had a bad habit of stonewalling applications and pulling funding they bragged about signing off on, but Moniz seems able to keep that from happening. Steven Chu is in the past and so is Solyndra.
Moniz sees the green future and it involves nuclear science. Give him a chance, Republicans.

On Islam and Hate Speech
August 2, 2018	 July 18, 2018	 By	Peter Townsend Leave a Comment on On Islam and Hate Speech
One of the principal tactics of those who would stifle free speech is to characterize all speech they disagree with as 'Hate Speech'. The obvious problem with this form of censorship is that those who make 'Hate Speech' claims typically set themselves up as both judge and jury. Just how arbitrary these attempts at speech policing are can be seen by looking at the set of utterances below.
Would you agree that if I made the following totally unacceptable statements about Muslims I would be guilty of 'Hate Speech'? 1) Muslims are the worst kind of animals 2) Be merciful to one another but be hard towards Muslims 3) Muslims are perverse 4) Strike terror into the hearts of Muslims and strike off their heads and fingertips 5) Fight the Muslims who are near to you 6) When Muslims make mischief against you murder and crucify them
You would have to agree that these statements fall well within any definition of 'Hate Speech' and would land anyone who make them in deep legal trouble in many parts of the world. They will also be met with cries of 'Islamophobia'! What about if these statements are used against non-Muslims? Would it still be 'hate speech'? If not, why not? The fact is that these exact statements can be found in the Qur'an directed against those who reject Allah and his 'prophet'. (Full Qur'anic verses below)
The fact that many of those flinging accusations of 'Hate Speech' around will tie themselves in knots to absolve the Qur'an of guilt in this area perfectly illustrates the facietiousness of modern attempts at censorship. It should, at the very least, alert us to the fact that issues and questions (e.g. 'Does the Qur'an teach hatred against non-Muslims?') should be dealt with honestly and in open debate instead of being shut up with spurious accusations and attempts at censorship.
My book 'Nothing to do with Islam – Examining the West's Most Dangerous Blind Spot' is one attempt to face the 'censors' head on by interactiong with the bigger questions of the relationship between Islam and violence committed in its name.
The Qur'anic verses on which the statements above are based are the following: 1) Surely the vilest of animals in Allah's sight are those who disbelieve (8:55) 2) Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard (ruthless) against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves (48:29); 3) And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah… Allah (Himself) fights against them. How perverse are they! (9:30) 4) I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them (8:12) 5) O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness (9:123) 6) The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides (5:33)
Muhammad, His Prophetic Ministry and His Aorta
August 11, 2018	 July 13, 2018	 By	Peter Townsend Leave a Comment on Muhammad, His Prophetic Ministry and His Aorta
Many questions can be asked about the motivations of those who wrote down the 'hadiths' (traditions) in the centuries after the life of Muhammad. It is clear that some of those who constructed the history of Islam had political aims to further or personal scores to settle. Many of them then back-projected their views into the mouth and actions of the 'prophet'. Bizarrely, however, it seems that at least some of those who wrote even some of the most respected hadiths had nothing less than the undermining of the prophetic authority of Muhammad as their goal. Don't believe me? Read on.
According to the official Muslim historical records Muhammad was deserted (during his 'prophetic' ministry) by his scribe, Ibn Abi Sarh. At issue was the charge that Muhammad allowed Abi Sarh to make changes to the Qur'an causing him to become disillusioned about how easily the supposedly eternal word of Allah could be changed. These events could obviously cause serious damage to Muhammad's reputation. As a means of damage control Allah sent down another one of his many 'convenient revelations' (i.e. revelations designed to get the 'prophet' out of a sticky situation). According to Allah: "…if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name. We should certainly seize him by his right hand, And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart (aorta)" (Qur'an 69:44-46)
So the Qur'an here makes a rather stark, and utterly unique, claim: If Muhammad dies through the cutting of his aorta, he is a false prophet.
How did Muhammad, in fact, die according to the most venerable Islamic traditions? The widely accepted details of Muhammad's death are very well known. He was given poisoned meat by a Jewish lady as revenge for his actions against her people at the Battle of Khaibar. Interestingly, she placed the poison in the meat as a test of his prophethood, stating "If he was a prophet he will be informed of what I have done." What is even more interesting, in the context of Qur'an 69:44-46, is that there are several strong traditions that state that Muhammad died through the cutting of his aorta:
"The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O Aishah! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison." (Sahih Bukhari 5:59:713);
"He then said about the pain of which he died: I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at Khaibar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta." (Sunan Abu Dawud 4498)
Strange isn't it? What do we have here? Perhaps yet another disillusioned scribe wreaking posthumous revenge of the prophet?

The Great 'Unmentionable' – Migration and Jihad
July 5, 2018	 July 5, 2018	 By	Peter Townsend Leave a Comment on The Great 'Unmentionable' – Migration and Jihad
To say that migration is a hot topic must be understatement of the year. Many people in Western societies are convinced borders should be thing of the past. That we should be as welcoming as possible (as long as the taxpayer foots the bill of course). The one thing that is rarely mentioned however is that there may be at least some of the migrants who are in search of much more than a 'better life'.
According to the Qur'an emigration and 'jihad in the cause of Allah' were two sides of the same coin for the earliest Muslims. This gives modern Muslims a strong example to follow. In fact, the Quran states that "Those who have believed and those who have emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah – those expect the mercy of Allah" (Qur'an 2:281)
Also: "Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided – they are allies of one another." (Qur'an 8: 72)
So when we see images of thousands of Muslim people in the migration queues we have to assume that at least some of them see this as only the first part of the process (i.e. migration) while hoping to eventually getting round to the second part 'Fighting in the Cause of Allah'. Our politicians may say that only a 'tiny minority' may think this way. This is a very weak argument.
To give but one example. Germany took in 1 million Muslim migrants during 2015. Even if only 1% of them take the Qur'an on migration and jihad seriously that still leaves 10,000 people who will fight with all their might to bring Germany under the sway of the teachings of the 'prophet'. Was that really a risk worth taking?
Ramadan: Allah's Impossible Command
June 19, 2018	 May 25, 2018	 By	Peter Townsend Leave a Comment on Ramadan: Allah's Impossible Command
Every year Muslims around the world participate in Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting.
So when are Muslims supposed to fast during this month? The Qur'an is clear on this: "Eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct
to you from the black thread of night. Then complete the fast unfil the sunset." (Qur'an 2:187)
It is clear from this verse that you should actually be able to observe the illuminating effect of the sun rising before beginning the fast.
Sahih Bukhari confirms this by having Muhammad say that the thread refers to: 'the blackness of the night and the whiteness of the day.' (Sahih Bukhari 35:1817) In other words Allah commands you to eat when it is dark and fast while it is light.
Let's unpack the implications of this verse for a bit:
Muslims believe that Islam is God's final revelation for the whole earth and you should therefore be able to practice it anywhere on the planet
Because the Muslim year is shorter than the universal calendar Ramadan can occur in all seasons
There are places north of the Arctic circle (inhabited in Muhammad's time and in the present) where it is dark for 24 hours during winter and light for 24 hours during summer.
All of this leaves Muslims with two rather uncomfortable options:
The Qur'an was written by someone who had no idea of the existence of the 'midnight sun
Almighty, All-Knowing Allah wants his followers in the Arctic to die of starvation in summer and not keep the fast in winter.
So the question that fasting Muslims should answer is: Why did an All-Knowing God give a command that is impossible to keep somewhere on earth?

Q: Why doesnt (click) sends my data inside , but (change) inside  does in Angular, HTML I want to send some data to my Glassfish RESTful server. When I use (change) inside the input tag it activates the method and succesfully sends the data, but when I use (click) or (change) to activate the method, it doesn't do anything. I tried to seperate the Sending data method and the router method, but to no avail.
 How can I solve this?

              <form #f="ngForm">

          console.log('Error occured');
        }

      );

  }

  routerRed(){
    this.router.navigateByUrl('/menu');
  }

I tried to use:
<button
                type="submit"
                class="btn btn-primary btn-lg float-none m-2"
                id="btnAanmaken"
                routerLink="/menu"
                (change)="saveCode($event)"
                >Aanmaken</button>

and:
<button
                type="submit"
                class="btn btn-primary btn-lg float-none m-2"
                id="btnAanmaken"
                routerLink="/menu"
                (click)="saveCode($event)"
                >Aanmaken</button>

A: The (change) event inside the button is going to do nothing, the (click) is more appropiate, but the $event passed inside the click event is going to return the information about the click itself (mouse position, etc).
What you should do is, whenever click is called, get the value of the form and send that to the saveData function. (Maybe by doing something like saveData(this.f.value), but I can't tell with certainty)
I don't have experience with template driven forms, maybe it's worth for you to take a look at Reactive Forms, it is going to make your life easier IMHO

A: The (change) event will not be triggered on the click of a button as there is no "change" as such. You should use (click) instead. The reason why your saveCode() is not being invoked when you set both routerLink and (click) is because of the routerLink. When you click the button, Angular is navigating to /menu before it triggers your click event. You can navigate from your component in your saveCode() instead.
Since you also have an API call in your saveCode(), it would probably be better if you navigate on success as it might not make sense to re-route the user if the API call fails (especially if the new route depends on the saved data)
Try this in your code.
HTML
<button type="submit"
  class="btn btn-primary btn-lg float-none m-2"
  id="btnAanmaken"
  (click)="saveCode($event)">
  Aanmaken
</button>

component
.subscribe( // subscribe to observable http.post
  res => {
    console.log("response" + " " + res); // log results otherwise log error
    this.router.navigateByUrl('/menu');
  },
  err => {
    console.log('Error occured');
  });

Edit: Rather than using $event to pass your values to the component, you can make use of the ngForm you have used in your code along with ngModel.
component
<input type="text"
  list="codes"
  class="m-2"
  name="restaurantName"
  ngModel
>

component
  @ViewChild('f', { static: true }) form: NgForm;

  ...

  public saveCode (): void {
    const name = this.form.value.restaurantName;
    ...
  }

Here is another example from the documentation on how to bind values to the form using ngForm and ngModel

Fredericksburg Christian School > Stories > Engage Magazine > Issue 3 > Honoring Our Founder: Mr. Gary Foss
Honoring Our Founder: Mr. Gary Foss
When thinking toward the future of Fredericksburg Christian School, we can't help but think about the past. Our founders, Mr. Gary Foss and his late wife Andy, first started the school at First Christian Church in 1979. With a staff of only four teachers and thirty students, Mr. Foss served as a principal, bus driver, playground supervisor, secretary, and even janitor.
In a recent interview, Mr. Foss talks about how Fredericksburg Christian came about:"Both my wife and I were in public school, and we had friends that encouraged us to start a Christian school. My wife and I felt that the Lord had called us to be part of public school, and we didn't think we were [supposed] to be involved in Christian schools," says the founder candidly. "And, over the years, friends kept at us. We were in the Fredericksburg School Division and I actually lost my job. And that's when we said, 'Hey, this is what the Lord wanted me to do.'"
By 1988, the school was already growing out of its space with 468 students. Gary and Andy's vision to serve the region in an interdenominational spirit was lived out as the school grew to multiple locations. The elementary school arrived at New Life in Christ, where it was housed until 2009. The Lower School began operation out of Highway Assembly of God, where it continues to reside. Just four years after their first senior class graduation, FCS began construction on 75 acres of land. And in 1997, the Upper School doors were opened, with a total of 885 students enrolled across all campuses.
"The same thing happened a few weeks ago when I had my stroke," explains Mr. Foss. "The Lord had something for me to do." After his stroke, Mr. Foss lost most of the function in his legs.
He told his story recently to a class of Lower School children: "The Lord has been so good to me," says Mr. Foss. "I have been very ill, but you guys have been praying for me, and the Lord is healing me. And, listen, a few weeks ago I had to be in a wheelchair. Now, I can use this," he says, grabbing his walker."[and] a cane. And, you know, I can even walk a little bit without my cane," praises Mr. Foss.
"Only the Lord can do that," he declares, with this finger stretched out in a teaching moment.
Mr. Foss speaks a little bit about the legacy FCS is forging. "This year… one of our high school graduate's father and mother were students in our school. And now their daughter is going to graduate from FCS this year. And I will have the privilege, I trust, of being on stage when she receives her diploma."
"We've seen the Lord bring families to Christian education," he continues. "And one of the things that has really helped is that God has introduced us to many Christian teachers. Andy and I had the opportunity to facilitate all of this," Mr. Foss beams. "We've had some great teachers."
Gary is currently active as a board member of FCS and is a tremendous encourager for the work they started in 1979. Andy went home to be with the Lord in August 2010, and she is greatly missed. Her desire for excellence in all areas will continue to live on within each aspect of our ministry as her legacy continues on in each of our hearts.

INTERSERVE RENEWS £40M FACILITIES MANAGEMENT CONTRACT WITH THE HOME OFFICE
Interserve, the international support services and construction group, has had the option to extend its £40 million total facilities management contract with the Home Office taken up for a further two years.
The extension reflects the partnership that has developed between Interserve and the Home Office since it started delivering facilities services in 2008. The contract also provides support for the National Offender Management Service, the National Probation Service, UK Border Agency and the College of Policing, among others.
Interserve delivers a comprehensive approach to total facilities management services including, cleaning, catering, maintenance and security services and other more specialist services across 400 buildings and around 450,000m2 of property.
Interserve has developed a strategic proposal for the Home Office that will deliver further cost savings and efficiencies through an innovative management approach and a new mobile operating model.
Keith Dorling, Managing Director – Civil Government at Interserve commented: "This contract extension highlights the strong relationship that has developed between Interserve and the Home Office over the past five years. As part of our contract, we have helped the Home Office realise substantial savings and have provided added value by offering innovative ideas. One of which was to implement a new 'real time' mobile working and scheduling system for both planned and reactive works. This has resulted in an increase in engineer productivity and a reduction in the amount of administration and paperwork.
"We're looking forward to our continued relationship with the Home Office and working with them to help deliver the cost savings and efficiencies required."

You might not think of downhill skiing in terms of trails, but just consider them trails on a real slope that have a lift going up. There are a number of distinct downhill areas in Ontario. In the southern part of the province, you'll find a group of resorts in the snowbelt around Barrie, Collingwood, Muskoka, Haliburton and Huronia.
There are also noted ski hills near Ottawa and north of Superior in the Thunder Bay region. Most of these resorts also have trails for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling nearby, so you can enjoy a variety of winter activities in one location.

Home/Do More With Less? Just Say Yes!
Today's in-venue college sports producer faces a vexing problem. Your fans have so many alternatives when it comes to watching your team's games that don't include actually going to the game.
As a sports fan, we're overindulged by the sheer variety of ways see the big game. Need an example? There's a growing assortment of subscription streaming services such as Sling TV, Hulu Live TV, and you can even watch the game via your Playstation Vue gaming console. All of these Internet-based outlets provide easy access to multiple sports and school conference networks. And of course, there's still traditional cable and broadcast television.
Beyond simple access to the game, the "at-home" fan is further spoiled by the talents and technology wrought by modern day live production broadcast storytelling – play-by-play analysts spouting statistical player history, further enriched by the graphically enhanced instant replays. These niceties and other conveniences make it an easy choice between the comforts of your home or hitting the road and trudging out to the game.
Still, for the majority of college sports fans, there's nothing quite like experiencing the game live, inside your school's stadium or arena. But your fans, no matter where they are in that arena or stadium, still want – even expect – to visually experience the same enhanced graphics and visual storytelling they're used to seeing live on their Smart TV or other device.
As if that wasn't enough, the in-venue college sports producer has to entertain and inform their fan not just for a single sport across a single season, but across a dozen or more sports throughout the entire year – oftentimes with a limited budget and inexperienced crew.
When faced with the decision to do more with less, say yes! Yes, that is, to ChyronHego's Sports FX Engine.
Intended for US-based college and university live sports production and designed with revenue generation in mind, the Sports FX Engine hosts multiple graphics applications, including the Paint telestrator, Virtual Placement ad insertion, and Virtual 1st Down & Distance, each designed to dramatically enhance in-venue fan engagement while generating multiple sources of sponsorship revenue during live production and replays.
These are the very same sports graphics applications that are widely used throughout professional sports broadcasts and in-venue production, which ChyronHego is now making available to college athletic production departments.
The Sports FX Engine offers a unique and highly flexible pricing model, made even better by the fact that you can maximize your use of the Sports FX Engine across multiple sports.
You decide which applications to license depending on the requirements of your next production. The benefit to your fans is that they now have every reason to attend the game in-stadium, since the Sports FX Engine lets you produce the same graphically enhanced instant replays, telestrated analysis, and virtual graphic storytelling they see at home.
Now, I can write and go on and on about all of this here, but to truly appreciate what the Sports FX Engine can bring to your in-venue college sports production, I'd like to invite you to this week's Sports FX Engine Webinar.
We'll introduce and present a live demonstration of ChyronHego's Paint telestrator, Virtual Placement ad insertion, and Virtual 1st Down & Distance solutions, and we'll explain how this multi-sport, multi-revenue-generating graphics solution will help you to attract and keep your fans in your stands.

A deep dive into the Kontrol app for Tesla
Jacques-Pierre (JP) Dumas
Article by Rae Steinbach
Tesla is often praised for manufacturing vehicles that are better for the environment than most cars. While that's a good reason to admire the company, it isn't the only one. Drivers also want vehicles that are safe, comfortable, and loaded with useful features.
Tesla aims to embody these values, which is what inspired them to develop the Kontrol for Tesla app. This native app design for mobile devices expands on the features of the current Tesla app. On top of that, it's free.
Tesla, like other tech companies, always seems to strike the balance between pleasing design and practical functionality. Kontrol for Tesla's design was clearly inspired by these values. Featuring sleek, clean visuals, the app mirrors the aesthetic qualities of a Tesla Model S.
Start with an in-depth look at the UI. It doesn't feature many bright, garish visuals. Instead, the simple colour palette and clean lines reflect the aesthetics of Tesla's vehicles. The UI for this type of app should allow users to quickly see and digest important information. In fact, the design is very similar to that of an efficient vehicle dashboard.
A pleasing UI isn't worth much if the app doesn't offer useful functionality. Luckily, Kontrol for Tesla offers all the features currently available on the Tesla app. It's easy to switch over from the current Tesla app without losing any of the information or features that Users have already grown accustomed to. Major functions the new Kontrol for Tesla app preserve include the following:
Checking charging progress in real-time.
Changing vehicle temperature before driving.
Locating vehicle and tracking its movement.
Flashing lights/honking horn, when you can't find your Tesla in the parking lot.
Venting or closing the panoramic roof.
Locking or unlocking the vehicle.
The new app also provides extra features, including:
Starting your car with Touch ID, instead of typing in your password every time.
Smart Climate functions that allow you to warm up your vehicle to the precise desired temperature before you leave the house.
Using 3D Touch or the widget to honk the horn, unlock the vehicle, or check battery status without having to open the app.
Smart venting the vehicle when it gets too hot.
Obviously, security is extremely important when using an app that controls your vehicle. To ensure your data is as safe as possible, Kontrol for Tesla doesn't store your user credentials, like your username and password. Instead, that information remains stored on Apple's iOS Secure Keychain. That means the data can't be accessed via other apps on your phone.
Unless the app is communicating directly with Tesla's API Server, it won't use your credentials when communicating with Kontrol for Tesla's server. It doesn't even save or store user credentials when the app is running. Also, the app relies on Touch ID authentication before accessing your credentials from the iOS Secure Keychain.
Kontrol for Tesla adheres to the practice of using Apple Transport Security, a new requirement for iOS 9.0 that ensures all client-server communication is made securely through HTTPS protocols.
When the app does communicate directly with Tesla's API Server, the server provides a certificate for the app to verify. Kontrol for Tesla take the following steps to ensure its validity:
The app confirms the certificate was signed by a Certificate Authority.
It makes sure the certificate contains the Tesla API domain in the response.
Once these steps are validated, the app matches the server-provided certificate with the one stored in the app.
For jailbroken devices, use of the app is prevented until a user's credentials, session token, and local preferences have been verified.
This is only the first iteration of Kontrol for Tesla. Its developers have already announced plans to offer even more features in the years to come. For instance, a future release may allow users to track personal vs. business miles when driving a Tesla. This could save both individuals and organisations a lot of money.

LAS VEGAS (March 17, 2014) – New York-New York Hotel & Casino, one of Las Vegas' most iconic and downright fun destinations, officially unveiled its transformed Strip-front façade featuring a re-imagined public plaza, expanded outdoor dining patio and four new retail venues with a green ribbon cutting ceremony at the kickoff of Celtic Feis this past Saturday, March 15.
Anchored by the property's famed Brooklyn Bridge, the plaza delivers an animated and engaging pedestrian environment to the south end of Las Vegas Blvd., encouraging guests to become part of the scene. The venue also provides an inviting atmosphere for the hotel's annual celebrations such as St. Baldrick's Day, Celtic Feis and New Year's Eve Bridge Bash.
One of the first additions to the enhanced plaza area is an expanded patio at Nine Fine Irishmen, the hotel's authentic Irish pub, featuring a permanent bar. Guests can enjoy the authentic Irish food, drinks and entertainment while taking in the Vegas sights from this premium vantage point.
Swatch. Swatch is a leading Swiss watchmaker and one of the world's most popular brands. This location is Swatch's flagship in Las Vegas and its new store concept is designed to bring light, color and motion together, offering a fun, relaxing and colorful environment. Located in the heart of the store is The Wave, a watch-chandelier made up of 4,706 watches.
Stupidiotic (stoo-pid-ee-ah-tik). Stupidiotic is a specialty retail store featuring a wide variety of ingenious and UN-genius products and ideas. Some are amusing. Some just confusing. Most are genuinely thoughtful and sensible - in a Stupidiotic sort of way. All together, they create an interesting and unexpected retail shopping experience found nowhere else in Las Vegas.
I Love NYNY. Architecturally inspired by the energetic atmosphere of Chelsea Market in the original city that never sleeps, I Love NYNY is the "go-to" store found on so many corners in New York. Whether it's must-have NYNY apparel and gifts or that beverage, snack or sundry item guests can't live without, I Love NYNY has something to meet every need.
Starbucks. This 24/7 New York City-themed Starbucks sports traditional lounge areas and patio seating with umbrellas to ensure the comfort of its patrons as they take in the Vegas scene around them. A rich combination of exposed brick and nostalgic handbills brings a New York City feel to the quaint space, while murals depicting some of New York's most famous parks rounds out the decor.
In addition to the above retail options, Hershey's Chocolate World™ flagship store will anchor the destination when it opens later this spring. The two-story, 12,000-square-foot interactive venue will celebrate the incredible array of Hershey's-branded products that inspire the "Hershey's Happiness" mantra.
Inspired by the famous energy and landmarks of the iconic original, New York-New York Hotel & Casino features 12 New York-style skyscrapers showcasing 2,023 guest rooms and suites. Other nods to the Big Apple include a 150-foot-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty and a 300-foot-long newly redesigned replica of the Brooklyn Bridge. Within the resort, guests discover all the excitement of the city that never sleeps including the provocative and sensuous Cirque du Soleil production, Zumanity; the thrilling Roller Coaster; and the fun-filled dueling pianos of the Bar at Times Square. A dynamic new plaza experience features fun and unique dining and retail destinations including a two-story flagship Hershey's Chocolate World, Shake Shack, Tom's Urban, Swatch, Stupidiotic and I Heart New York-New York. Tantalizing restaurants inside the hotel include Gallagher's Steakhouse, Il Fornaio and Nine Fine Irishmen, an authentic pub offering the best of Irish drink, food and music.

About Gulf Arabic Language
Gulf Arabic is a variety of the Arabic language spoken around both shores of the Persian Gulf, mainly in Kuwait, eastern Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and parts of Oman. Some notable characteristics that set it apart from other Bedouin dialects is the small number of Persian loanwords, and a pronunciation of k as ch ("kalb" dog, read as "chalb"); and, in some instances, the pronunciation j as y (jannah "paradise", read as "yennah").
About the Arabic Language
Arabic rabī) is the largest living member of the Semitic language family in terms of speakers. Classified as Central Semitic, it is closely related to Hebrew and Aramaic, and has its roots in a Proto-Semitic common ancestor. Modern Arabic is classified as a macrolanguage with 27 sub-languages in ISO 639-3. These varieties are spoken throughout the Arab world, and Standard Arabic is widely studied and known throughout the Islamic world.
Modern Standard Arabic derives from Classical Arabic, the only surviving member of the Old North Arabian dialect group, attested epigraphically since the 6th century, which has been a literary language and the liturgical language of Islam since the 7th century.
Arabic has lent many words to other languages of the Islamic world, as Latin has contributed to most European languages. And in turn, it has also borrowed from those languages, as well as Persian and Sanskrit from early contacts with their affiliated regions. During the Middle Ages, Arabic was a major vehicle of culture, especially in science, mathematics and philosophy, with the result that many European languages have also borrowed numerous words from it especially Spanish and Portuguese, countries it ruled for 700 years (see Al-Andalus).
"Colloquial Arabic" is a collective term for the spoken varieties of Arabic used throughout the Arab world, which, as mentioned, differ radically from the literary language. The main dialectal division is between the North African dialects and those of the Middle East, followed by that between sedentary dialects and the much more conservative Bedouin dialects. Speakers of some of these dialects are unable to converse with speakers of another dialect of Arabic; in particular, while Middle Easterners can generally understand one another, they often have trouble understanding North Africans (although the converse is not true, due to the popularity of Middle Eastern—especially Egyptian—films and other media).
One factor in the differentiation of the dialects is influence from the languages previously spoken in the areas, which have typically provided a significant number of new words, and have sometimes also influenced pronunciation or word order; however, a much more significant factor for most dialects is, as among Romance languages, retention (or change of meaning) of different classical forms. Thus Iraqi aku, Levantine fīh, and North African kayən all mean "there is", and all come from classical Arabic forms (yakūn, fīhi, kā'in respectively), but now sound very different.

Biosecurity Dilemmas
Dreaded Diseases, Ethical Responses, and the Health of Nations
Christian Enemark
Narrated by Lee David Foreman
Book published by Georgetown University Press
Biosecurity Dilemmas examines conflicting values and interests in the practice of "biosecurity," the safeguarding of populations against infectious diseases through security policies. Biosecurity encompasses both the natural occurrence of deadly disease outbreaks and the use of biological weapons. Christian Enemark focuses on six dreaded diseases that governments and international organizations give high priority for research, regulation, surveillance, and rapid response: pandemic influenza, drug-resistant tuberculosis, smallpox, Ebola, plague, and anthrax. The book is organized around four ethical dilemmas that arise when fear causes these diseases to be framed in terms of national or international security: protect or proliferate, secure or stifle, remedy or overkill, and attention or neglect. For instance, will prioritizing research into defending against a rare event such as a bioterrorist attack divert funds away from research into commonly occurring diseases? Or will securitizing a particular disease actually stifle research progress owing to security classification measures? Enemark provides a comprehensive analysis of the ethics of securitizing disease and explores ideas and policy recommendations about biological arms control, global health security, and public health ethics.
Christian Enemark is Professor of International Relations at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. He is the author of two previous books, Disease and Security: Natural Plagues and Biological Weapons in East Asia and Armed Drones and the Ethics of War: Military Virtue in a Post-Heroic Age, and he is also coeditor of Ethics and Security Aspects of Infectious Disease Control.
"By adding a strong normative and ethical dimension to the debates around the securitization of health, Christian Enemark's book advances the global health debate in thought-provoking ways that will intrigue both scholars and students. This is a timely and engaging addition to the global health politics literature."
—Jeremy Youde, Chair, Global Health Section, International Studies Association Fellow, Department of International Relations, Australian National University
"A masterful and engaging account of the key biosecurity challenges confronting the world today. Biosecurity Dilemmas explores the vexing policy tensions and ethical trade-offs involved in protecting populations against biological danger. Enemark elegantly tames the complexity by showing that four major dilemmas lie at the heart of these issues. An impressive scholarly achievement."
