Readers of this blog know that Mike Shulman and myself have had extensive discussion, over many months, about cohesive homotopy type theory. Mike has connected this to his other work on homotopy type theory as explained in his post Internalizing the External, or The Joys of Codiscreteness, and I have been trying to see how much of quantum gauge field theory can be formalized in this axiomatics, discussed for instance in the post Prequantization in cohohesive homotopy type theory.
Abstract. We implement in the formal language of homotopy type theory a new set of axioms called cohesion. Then we indicate how the resulting cohesive homotopy type theory naturally serves as a formal foundation for central concepts in gauge quantum field theory. This is a brief survey of work by the authors developed in detail elsewhere (Sh, Sc).
Maybe you'd enjoy having a look and dropping us a comment. It's a brief survey (given the size constraints demanded for submissions of this form) of a collection of central constructions and their relations, which hopefully serves to indicate how the two seemingly disparate subjects of the title are in fact closely related.
Last year at QPL 2011 I had given an invited talk also within this general subject, the slides are still available at Prequantum Physics in a Cohesive ∞-Topos and might serve as further introduction to what I am discussing with Mike here.

MMHS NEWS - September 2015
EMBRACE THE MANDARIN EXPERIENCE
Dear MMHS Members and Friends,
Despite temperatures in the 90s and humidity (who knows how high), much progress on the schoolhouse was made in August. Jim Rafferty and his volunteers have been faithfully prepping and the Mandarin Rotary Club painted the entire outside of the structure in one day. We had our highly successful Yard Sale and made $1000. for the schoolhouse. Our heartfelt thanks to Hope Ferrigno, Don Carter, Pat Wojiechowski, Karen Roumillat, Barbara Rogers, Adam Naworal, Paula Suhey, Marie Tobias, and Carol Ann Rafferty for spending many days getting ready and then manning the store the day of the event. What heroes all of you are!
Third Thursday Lecture was a big success!
One hour before the August lecture started we endured a heavy rainstorm and worried that it would keep everyone at home for the evening. But fortunately, no! There was a great turnout and lots of enthusiasm for Mary Atwood's talk about her book "Historic Homes of the Florida's First Coast." She showed slides of about 20 homes and gave fascinating stories about each and their owners. Samples of her photographs lined the tables and Mary autographed books. All in attendance enjoyed the information very much. (We do carry this book in our museum Gift Shop.)
As she ended the presentation, Mary totally surprised the audience with the announcement that she was going to gift her two gorgeous B&W framed photos from inside the Webb farmhouse to MMHS. This was a very special and meaningful gift to our collection. We were honored that she selected our farmhouse to include in her photography exhibit and her book and we will be honored to hang her work for people to enjoy in the future.
Thank you Mary for being such a wonderful friend to MMHS!
Smithsonian's "Museum Day LIVE!"
Smithsonian Magazine offers their 11th Annual "Museum Day LIVE!", when they encourage members and readers to go out on September 26 and discover their local museums, with free admission.
Since Mandarin Museum is always free, we offer our member discount on gift shop purchases to all visitors who present a Museum Day ticket, which must be downloaded and printed. Click here to get your ticket.
On this special day: all buildings in the park will be open from 9-4, the Maple Leaf Divers will be in the museum from 12-4 and there will be some acoustic music on the porch between 11 and 2. Come on out and pay us a visit and enjoy your Mandarin history!

BOOK A MANDARIN TOUR!
Did you know that MMHS offers tours for school students, Scout groups, and adult organizations like church and senior groups?
For the small sum of $7.00/person you can bring your group for an informative, guided, 3-hour tour of the Mandarin Museum, the Walter Jones Historical Park, the Webb farmhouse, the 1911 Store and Post Office, and soon the Schoolhouse. Walking and standing are necessary, but there are benches throughout the park and chairs can be placed for anyone who needs one in the buildings.
Tours are usually booked from 9-12 on weekdays, but other options can be considered as well.
Please click here for more information. You may email us at mandarinmuseum@bellsouth.net or call Bruce Vacca at 268-4612 or the museum at 268-0784 for more information and to book your tour.
Schoolhouse Update
Thanks so much to First Coast Scaffolding for placing OSHA-approved scaffolding all the way around the building. It made it SO much easier, faster and safer for volunteers from the community to prep and paint the building.
After weeks of individuals coming to prep the whole outside, the Mandarin Rotary came out to paint the entire building in one day on August 29. Our gratitude to all of those who helped. What a great community effort!
Our great appreciation goes to many folks who are helping do research and advising us for the exhibits of the future: Karen Droege, Sherry Brown, Pat Wojciehowski, Autumn Martinage, Dr. Charles Clossman, Gabriele Dempsey,Jay Smith, LeeAnn Arndt, Bob Nay, Joyce Brown and Sandy Arpen. And the Sisters of St. Joseph!
And thank you to Jim Rafferty for taking this project on as Project Manager - he has done a fabulous job planning and coordinating all aspects of the work.
Jim Rafferty - Project Coordinator Extraordiaire!
Membership is our FOUNDATION!
Some of you remember when MMHS first became a non-profit organization in 1990 and immediately restored the 1911 Store and Post Office and leased it from the Mandarin Community Club in order to offer it as a museum. Some of you remember when the Mandarin Museum building was built by the City of Jacksonville in the new Walter Jones Historical Park and MMHS was asked to house our collection in it and bring the park to life with educational activities and programs - we opened the doors in 2004.
Since those times we have continued our mission in Mandarin with gusto. In the last year alone, we are so proud that we have celebrated the 150th Anniversary of the Maple Leaf and were able to lead a coalition of organizations to bring the 19th Century Schoolhouse to the park.
We are fortunate and appreciative that we have the partnerships we do with the Mandarin Community Club and the City of Jacksonville Parks, Recreation and Community Services, and the Cultural Council of Northeast Florida. We would not be able to operate our historical museums without them.
BUT, it costs alot to run these facilities and programs. We are essentially a volunteer organization, but desire to hire a professional Director in the future. We NEED the support of the community through annual membership donations, as our membership support really is our financial foundation since we do not charge admission.
Our sincere thanks to our current members - please watch for your renewal letter in December.
For those of you who have yet to become a member, please consider doing it today! If you do, your new membership will be valid from now through 2016! It is easy - just click here to learn more about the benefits of membership and to access a secure on-line membership form.
Being a Mandarin Museum & Historical Society member will give you the satisfaction and pride of being part of a team of organizations, families and businesses who cherish the history of Mandarin and the people and events that were here before our time - and want future generations to be inspired as well.
that an internationally known pianist and composer was a Mandarin resident and is buried at Mandarin Cemetery?
Hans Barth was born in Leipzig, Germany on June 25, 1897. At the age of six, he received a scholarship and studied under Carl Reinecke at the world famous Leipzig Conservatory, founded by Felix Mendelssohn in 1843.
Barth moved with his family to New York in 1907 and a year later made his recital debut. While still 12 years old, he performed 13 recitals in a single season. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1912.
In all, Barth performed in over 500 recitals in the United States and Europe, including at Carnegie Hall. He was the featured artist for the first musical event in Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., where he performed on November 2, 1929, before the largest concert audience to have assembled in that city.
Barth was inspired by a visit with Ferruccio Busoni, who predicted in 1907 that future music would include a division of the octave into more than twelve degrees. Barth began experimenting with new scales and quarter-tone music, in which each note is divided into four steps, not two. In 1928 he worked with George Weitz of the Chickering Piano Company to develop and build a quarter-tone piano. The project was financed, in part, by noted composer Charles Ives.
On March 28, 1930, he performed his composition Concerto for Quarter Tone Piano and Strings with the Philadelphia Symphony, Leopold Stokowski conducting. He composed at least two other concertos, as well as the operetta Miragia (1938), the Drama Symphony and the Prince of Peace Symphony (both 1940) and Ten Etudes for Quarter-Tone Piano and Orchestra (1944.) Barth also composed two chamber pieces, two piano sonatas and two suites, plus numerous songs.
An accomplished pianist, Barth was the primary performer on at least seventeen Victor recordings. Two of his performances may be heard on the Library of Congress "National Jukebox."
For the last eleven years of his life, Barth lived on Mandarin Road with his wife, Lois. He taught music at Jacksonville Junior College, now Jacksonville University. He died on December 8, 1956 and is buried in Mandarin Cemetery.
Mr. Barth is one of the ten Mandarin residents featured in our Mandarin Cemetery Walking Tour. There are brochures in the museum and at the Cemetery gate which tell you about each person and guide you to all ten (well marked) graves.

This Is Democracy: Welcome to the Real World, America (OPINION)
By: Armando Gudiño
Tear gas outside the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 (Photo by Tyler Merbler/CC BY 2.0)
LOS ANGELES — There is much to be said about what happened Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Protestors turned rioters, turned mob revolt. We all saw the rise of a new seditionist movement, historic no doubt. Almost immediately, many were quick to characterize these events with everything from a national embarrassment, a disgrace, an assault to democracy and my favorite, "a stain on American democracy" as described by one legislator.
I don't disagree with such characterizations but I do take issue with how some of this is being contextualized, and especially by those in government.
To those who need to hear this, welcome to the real world, America.
Perhaps a reminder for some and news to others, but this is what democracy looks like. Not just American democracy but global democracy. This is the other face of democracy, the one that allows hate and intolerance to literally grow from within the very institutions we feel are most representative of our Constitution and principles as a nation. For far too long we've paraded ourselves here and abroad as a people, residents, citizens of the great America, land of this and land of that all the while for nearly 250 years we've stolen, enslaved, subjugated, exploited and oppressed our way to said status and did so at the expense of others as the rich get richer and the poor get a whole lot poorer.
From Latin America to African nations and Eastern Europe, acts of insurrection happen regularly and do so around the world and have for millennia. News flash: we are not exempt and or immune from it. We were founded on the principles of treason and acts of insurrection. Political coups, authoritarianism and dictatorships have not always come from the outside. American arrogance and our global political dominance is what regularly prevent us from recognizing it and speaks to our complete and total ignorance if not complicity in fomenting seeds of racism and destruction here and abroad.
What you saw Wednesday was planted a long, long time ago and is now being harvested by Trump and his band of both sane and unintelligent, conspiracy-driven simpletons turned separatist or more appropriately and as they would say, "sheeple." This is the other side of democracy and we should all recognize it not as a stain or dismiss it as "otherness," but as who we are both symbolically and literally. After all, half the voting nation did support the unstable and lunatic Trump. What you saw Wednesday was what we have long pointed at in other countries. Nations whose actions and political operatives we moralized by our leaders, criticized their lack of transparency and finger pointed at their infantile political theatrics while stigmatizing them and by extension the country and the people as a whole.
What you saw Wedensday was American Democratic Exceptionalism front and center. Had it been people of color, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT. They would have been executed on the spot, and those who survived would have been persecuted, corralled, assaulted, arrested, and incarcerated. How dare you express "shock and embarrassment" at what happening at the Capitol. The perception of American democracy is nothing more than that, a perception that now, it too will sleep in a bed of roses filled with thorns.
It is time we embrace our realities and stop acting as is this is something that "doesn't happen in America." The fight for an equitable and accessible democracy must be treated as a form of modern-day trench warfare. Today, millions will settle down with an uneasiness, a fear and insecurity that millions more have felt for hundreds of years. The difference is the insurrection is being televised, tweeted, Instagrammed, Tik Tok'd to our homes and mobile devices and coming from the very doorsteps of the American government, including and especially the White House. That is why we too must organize and continue the work.
This is not just an assault on our democracy, it's an assault on us all. A nation, a people, an assault on generations who have built this country, and we must prepare and when necessary fight back because this is neither the first or the last we'll see of this.
Armando Gudiño is a political strategist and policy analyst based in Los Angeles.

I've stated that the Civil War never really ended, it just transformed itself into the fiber of the nation. We have seen little flashed here and there. Trump helped blow it up to what we saw in the Capital. I agree, this is just the beginning
baci says:
and democrats have been trying to blow it up since November 2016.
welcome to democracy? third worlders view of democracy. this is not democracy. where half the country is silenced and the other half lied to so often and bec they aren't educated, they believe it.

Hammerson plc: Interim Management Statement, period from 1 July 2012 to 8 November 2012
Hammerson press release, 9 November 2012, starting with er, bullet points:
Hammerson now exclusively retail focused, having sold £627 million of office property and reinvested £551 million in attractive retail assets since February
Announced today the disposal of our final office property, Stockley House, London SW1, for £42 million, 10% above book value
Robust operational results with occupancy of 97.3% at 30 September 2012 and leasing in the period 5% above ERV ['estimated (current) rental value'] reflecting continued strong demand for prime retail property
Tenants' sales increased by 3.2% in the UK, 0.3% in France
Strong development progress: Les Terrasses du Port, Marseille, now 80% pre let. Leases signed with John Lewis for Eastgate Quarters, Leeds, and Debenhams for Elliott's Field, Rugby
Substantial financial resources with approximately £850 million of liquidity available for further investment.
David Atkins, Hammerson Chief Executive, said:
"I'm delighted to have completed the transition to a retail focused company just nine months after announcing our revised strategy. We sold over £600 million of office properties above book value, and have redeployed £551 million of proceeds into prime retail locations in our chosen specialist sectors. In addition, we are making excellent progress with our developments [apart from Brent Cross's 'living bridge', etc., and revised BXC planning assessments, in the dysfunctional London Borough of Barnet? And any more BX development using tax havens?] and our strong operational performance demonstrates that high quality properties in winning retail locations are continuing to deliver positive results."
Overall occupancy in the portfolio remains high at 97.3% (30 June 2012: 97.5%). This is ahead of both our target of 97%, and the equivalent figure of 97.1% at 30 September 2011.
We signed 134 new leases in the period representing 41,000m2, and worth £7.6 million of rental income per annum. In the UK we signed long-term leases 2% above December 2011 ERV. In France, long-term leases were signed at levels 7% above ERV, to give a group figure of 5%. Key lettings in the period include:
Ugg at Bullring, Birmingham
Armani Exchange and Jamie's Italian at Monument Mall, Newcastle
Wilkinson at Manor Walks, Cramlington
Kiko and Levi's at Bercy 2, Paris
Esprit and Promovacances at O'Parinor, Paris
Adidas and Armand Thierry at Italie 2, Paris
UK tenants' sales increased by 3.2% in our UK shopping centre portfolio, notwithstanding a small decline in footfall of 1.1% compared to Q3 2011. Over the quarter sales were particularly strong in August and September with Bullring, Highcross and Union Square performing well. In France, tenants' sales increased by 0.3% across the portfolio in line with a slight increase in footfall.
There were 73 units in administration at 30 September 2012, broadly unchanged since the half year, of which 50 were still trading. Units in administration represent 1.7% of group rents, however recent tenant administrations may impact occupancy over the remainder of the year.
Portfolio - Investment
In the period we completed the first tranche of the disposal of office properties to Brookfield and sold our interest in 10 Gresham Street, London EC2.
We announce today the sale of Stockley House, London SW1, which completes our office disposal programme and finalises the reorientation of the Company to a specialist retail REIT. The property, which was valued at £38 million at 30 June 2012, was sold to a private investor for £42 million.
Overall the office properties were sold for £627 million at a 7% premium to December 2011 book values.
We have invested £551 million into successful retail venues offering growth potential across our defined areas of: prime regional shopping centres offering experience; UK retail parks offering convenience; and designer outlet villages offering luxury and value.
In July we announced the acquisition of further interests in Value Retail holding companies for a total of £72 million and increased our shareholder loan to the company from €28 million to €58 million. In September, we acquired Victoria Quarter in Leeds for £136 million.
In September we also exchanged contracts to acquire a 25% share of the leasehold interest in Whitgift, Croydon for £65 million. We have undertaken a detailed public consultation programme and recently presented the emerging scheme to Croydon's Strategic Planning Committee. We expect to submit our outline planning application next month.
In October we purchased The Junction Fund for £255 million. The fund consists of four retail parks located in strong catchments, as well as 34,000m2 of consented development opportunities and 17 ha (46 acres) of additional development land. Since completing the transaction we have achieved practical completion of the conversion of the former UCI unit at Thurrock, which will accommodate the first out-of-town Nike store in the UK.
Portfolio - Development
Our major retail and leisure development at Les Terrasses du Port, Marseille, is now 80% pre-let. During the period, pre-letting agreements were exchanged with Intimissimi, G-Star, Kusmi Tea and Calezdonia. Construction is on schedule and on budget, with the project expected to open in spring 2014.
The pre-letting of our proposed Le Jeu de Paume retail development at Beauvais is progressing well. We have secured H&M as the main fashion anchor at the scheme, where 34% of the income is now exchanged or in solicitors' hands. It is anticipated that construction will commence next year.
At Queensgate shopping centre in Peterborough, we reached practical completion of the 5,000m2 Primark store. Primark is fitting out the unit which remains on schedule to open in time for Christmas trading. In addition, Topshop / Topman and Office have opened for trade in the period, further enhancing the retail mix and vitality of this asset.
We are making good progress with extensions and redevelopments across the portfolio. We have exchanged contracts with Debenhams for a 5,575m2 store that will anchor the redevelopment of Elliott's Field, Rugby, where we intend to submit a planning application early next year. In Cramlington, the 13,500m2 extension of Manor Walks shopping centre is progressing well on site and we anticipate the scheme opening on schedule in spring 2013. At the neighbouring Westmorland Retail Park, where we have secured planning approval for the 3,700m2 extension and secured a pre-let to Marks & Spencer, construction is due to start early next year.
In September we issued a seven year €500 million 2.75% unsecured bond due in 2019. Borrowings were £2.1 billion at 30 September 2012 and cash balances were £395 million, to give net debt of £1.7 billion (30 June 2012: £1.9 billion).
At 31 October 2012, proforma for the completion of the Junction Fund and Victoria Quarter acquisitions and the sales of Stockley House and Gresham Street, net debt was £2.0 billion reflecting loan-to-value and gearing ratios of 35% of 51% respectively. Proforma cash and unutilised facilities were £850 million.
The Group's nearest short-term debt maturity is £100 million nominal of floating rate reset bonds that were issued in July 2008. These bonds have put options at par from February 2013 in favour of the lender and a call option at fair value in favour of Hammerson. It is estimated that the fair value of these instruments was £141 million at 30 September 2012. We are currently evaluating options for this bond, including whether to exercise the Hammerson call option to reduce the Group's future interest costs.
We remain cautious about the overall economic outlook in the UK and Europe. However, we have a portfolio of modern, well-located retail properties which offer consumers leisure, catering and multi-channel capabilities. These assets continue to attract both domestic and international retailers, which gives us confidence in our ability to grow underlying rental income.

About the satellite, he wrote: "The short trail on the 4-second exposure rules out a fast-moving meteor and the appearance on only one photograph among several taken at about 30-second intervals suggests it was not an aircraft." 4 second time-exposure with tripod-mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 in night scenery mode.

* For Aor or our, "light," and an, "to act upon" or produce, the same as our English particle en, "to make." Ouranos, then, is "The Enlightener." This Ouranos is, by Sanchuniathon, the Phoenician, called the son of Elioun— i.e., as he himself, or Philo-Byblius, interprets the name, "The Most High." (SANCH) Ouranos, in the physical sense, is "The Shiner;" and by Hesychius it is made equivalent to Kronos, which also has the same meaning, for Krn, the verb from which it comes, signifies either "to put forth horns," or "to send forth rays of light;" and, therefore, while the epithet Kronos, or "The Horned One," had primarily reference to the physical power of Nimrod as a "mighty" king; when that king was deified, and made "Lord of Heaven," that name, Kronos, was still applied to him in his new character as "The Shiner or Lightgiver." The distinction made by Hesiod between Ouranos and Kronos, is no argument against the real substantial identity of these divinities originally as Pagan divinities; for Herodotus states that Hesiod had a hand in "inventing a theogony" for the Greeks, which implies that some at least of the details of that theogony must have come from his own fancy; and, on examination, it will be found, when the veil of allegory is removed, that Hesiod's "Ouranos," though introduced as one of the Pagan gods, was really at bottom the "God of Heaven," the living and true God.
In this very character was Nimrod worshipped when he was deified. As the Sun-god he was regarded not only as the illuminator of the material world, but as the enlightener of the souls of men, for he was recognised as the revealer of "goodness and truth." It is evident, from the Old Testament, not less than the New, that the proper and personal name of our Lord Jesus Christ is, "The Word of God," as the Revealer of the heart and counsels of the Godhead.
* Review of Epistle of DR. GENTIANUS HARVET of Louvaine. This work, which is commonly called The Beehive of the Roman Church, contains the original Latin of the passage translated above. The passage in question is to be found in at least two Roman Missals, which, however, are now very rare— viz., one printed at Vienna in 1506, with which the quotation in the text has been compared and verified; and one printed at Venice in 1522. These dates are antecedent to the establishment of the Reformation; and it appears that this passage was expunged from subsequent editions, as being unfit to stand the searching scrutiny to which everything in regard to religion was subjected in consequence of that great event. The ceremonial of blessing the candles, however, which has no place in the Pontificale Romanum in the Edinburgh Advocates' Library, is to be found in the Pontificale Romanum, Venice, 1542, and in Pontificale Romanum, Venice, 1572. In the ceremony of blessing the candles, given in the Roman Missal, printed at Paris, 1677, there is great praise of the Bee, strongly resembling the passage quoted in the text. The introduction of such an extraordinary formula into a religious ceremony is of very ancient date, and is distinctly traced to an Italian source; for, in the words of the Popish Bishop Ennodius, who occupied an Italian diocese in the sixth century, we find the counterpart of that under consideration. Thus, in a prayer in regard to the "Easter Candle," the reason for offering up the wax-candle is expressly declared to be, because that through means of the bees that produce the wax of which it is made, "earth has an image of what is PECULIAR TO HEAVEN," and that in regard to the very subject of GENERATION; the bees being able, "through the virtue of herbs, to pour forth their young through their MOUTHS with less waste of time than all other creatures do in the ordinary way." This prayer contains the precise idea of the prayer in the text; and there is only one way of accounting for the origin of such an idea. It must have come from a Chaldean Liturgy.

United Way of Monroe County announces donations top $850,000, urges participation
H-T Report
United Way of Monroe County has released the December progress update for its Reimagine 2020 annual community fundraising drive. As of Dec. 18, donations have topped $852,042 to support the work of building resilience as United Way responds to community needs during a pandemic this holiday season, the agency reported in a news release.
Reimagine 2020 invites residents in Monroe, Owen and Greene counties to rally around the goal of building a more resilient community by creating a future that works well for all and where ZIP code does not determine one's future. Because of a high level of poverty in local communities, where nearly 50% of residents teeter right above or fall below the poverty line, it is critical to address the harsh disparities that often lie hidden in the shadows, the news release said.
"Though giving has been steady in our fall Reimagine campaign, there is still time — and still a need — to participate," Efrat Feferman, executive director of United Way of Monroe County, said in the announcement. "With the rise in suffering already experienced and with the expected — and unexpected — new challenges that lie before us, more funding is required as we move into the months and years ahead. Our community is very generous and understands that people are hurting, so we encourage everyone to participate and give as your situation will allow. There is still time to give."
Donations will be accepted to Reimagine 2020 through the end of February.
A separate dedicated fund for COVID-19 Relief was established in March 2020 and more than $1.6 million has been raised and distributed to local organizations. These funds support community-wide needs such as addressing food insecurity and securing safe shelters for people experiencing homelessness, as well as expanding agencies' capacities by addressing needs for added technology, personal protective equipment, staffing due to volunteer loss and more.
United Way recognizes these Reimagine 2020 champions who have raised funds toward a Reimagined future that works for all:
• The Cummins Foundation dramatically increased its gift to help address the most critical needs in Monroe, Owen and Greene counties and contributed $23,135.
• Old National Bank offered its employees an opportunity to make a difference and they contributed $12,761, including a corporate gift of $8,000.
• UPS, despite a heavy delivery schedule, found the time and compassion to raise and contribute $17,528 locally.
• The city of Bloomington employees contributed $9,196 to Reimagine 2020.
Feferman, expressed her gratitude for the generosity of the community. "This has been an extraordinary year. I don't think anyone anticipated we would be in this position at the end of 2020. And yet, despite all the uncertainties, donors have opened their hearts and their wallets in acts of incredible generosity and have asked us over and over to use their gifts to meet the greatest challenges. We are humbled by the trust implicit in these requests and honored to apply each gift to the most critical need," she said in the news release.
All gifts, no matter the amount, have an impact. For instance, a gift to United Way of just $2 a week can provide six meal's worth of groceries to 50 homebound individuals every month.
Donations can be made online at monroeunitedway.org/givenow or by texting Reimagine2020 to 41444.

So, it's Surah Furqan Verse 74- one is asking Allah for a good family. I was just wondering if a female can make this dua as well, the translations is saying "wives", obviously I'm not looking for a wife.
If not could someone provide a dua for females to use that means the same thing. Or could I just say this is English & replace wife with husband? I know it's better to say dua from the Quran in Arabic..
AsSlamuAlykum yep its for women too. Coz arabic word "Zouj" means pair, mean male and female.
So both men & women can make this dua.

Mayo Thompson – Performing "Corky's Debt To His Father"
Dec 08 | Sun | Event is Over
$25 Seated Adv. | $20 Standing Adv. | $30 Seated Day of Show | $25 Standing Day of Show Corky's Debt To His Father is a solo album by Mayo Thompson, a founder of the Red Krayola. It was recorded and released in 1970 on the independent label Texas Revolution. The record is an experiment in the genre of solo singer-songwriter format and as Thompson says, it "embraces the personal and treats the instrumental power of music for the sake of expression."
Thompson will perform a single show at New York City's (Le) Poisson Rouge on December 8th. Other than the 2013 appearance at Cropped Out Fest, this marks the second time in the last half-century that the full album's been performed live. Tickets will go fast, so do yourself a favor and act quickly.

Gypsies are generally referred to by the term kowli in Persian, seemingly a distortion of kāboli, i.e., coming from Kabol, the capital of Afghanistan. It is not at all certain, however, that all the groups referred to as kowli are authentic gypsies; nor that only the groups referred to as kowli should be considered as gypsies. The fact is that almost everywhere in Persia there are groups with characteristics similar to those of the Gypsies, but they are called by different names, sometimes designating their geographic or ethnic origin, sometimes their social status, and sometimes their profession: abdal (Ḵuzestān), āhangar (several places), čegini or čingāna (Azerbaijan, the Caspian provinces), fiuj (Ḵuzestān), ḡarbālband (Tehran), gowdari (Baluchestan), jat (Khorasan, Afghanistan), jugi (Central Asia), Karači or Karāči (Azerbaijan), kāvol (Lorestān), kowli (Tehran, central province, Lorestān, Baḵtiāri, Fārs), ḡorbati (Lorestān, Baḵtiāri), lom (Tajikestan), luli (several places), luri (Baluchestan, center, not to be confused with the inhabitants of Lorestān), luṭi (Kermān, Lorestān, not to be confused with the 19th-century urban thugs, see Migeod, 1959), mazang, mul- tāni (Central Asia), moṭreb (Lorestān), qerešmāl (Khorasan), širāzi (Baḵtiāri), sudāni (Persian Gulf), suzmāni (Kermānšāh), tušmāl (Baḵtiāri), žott (Baluchestan, Ḵu-zestān) (Sykes, 1902, pp. 437-38; Minorsky, 1931; Ama-nolahi and Norbeck, pp. 3-4; Ḏokāʾ, passim).
The rough picture drawn of the groups of artisans living in symbiosis with nomadic communities or villages should, however, be modified in each individual case. A number of these groups should in fact be treated as particular cases. For instance, the musicians (luri, luṭi, tušmāl, etc.) benefit from a special status, which distinguishes them from both the kowlis and ḡorbatis present in the same area, as well as from the musicians of other regions. Among the Baḵtiāris, for example, the tušmāls (Digard, 1974) all belong to the same faction of ʿamala, traditionally at the service of the Khan and an integral part of the tribe. They are at the bottom of the social hierarchy and must marry among themselves, but they have the right to wear Baḵtiāri dress. The name tušmāl, by which they are called is an outdated title among the Baḵtiāris, but it is still in use elsewhere, notably in Lorestān, where it is an equivalent to kad-ḵodā (chief). The situation of the tušmāls is singularly in contrast with that of the musicians of Mamassani, Boir Ahmadi and Lor tribes culturally and geographically closest to the Baḵ-tiāris, where they have the unenviable status of "foreigner" (ḡorbati) and are pejoratively called luṭi or moṭreb (Minorsky, 1931; Bahman Beygi; Nadjamadbadi, passim).
The ethnic identity, real or supposed, of the professionally specialized groups that live in contact with the nomadic tribes of the southwest of Persia is, therefore, crucial to their status; however, it remains a very ambiguous question. Even the vocabulary is ambiguous. In fact the terms used, not only in Persia (Amanolahi and Norbeck; Minorsky, 1931; Sykes, 1902) but in all the Middle East (Burton; Anastase, 1902; Littmann; Massignon, passim; Lewis and Quelquejay; Kenrick, 1975, 1994; Berland) to designate these groups refer to very distant notions, ranging from socio-economic status (e.g., abdal "slaves," ḡorbati "foreigner") and profession (āhangar "blacksmith," luṭi, "musician") to regional or supposedly ethnic origins (čingāna "from Čangar or Žingar, in India," kowli, "from Kabol," žott or jat "Indian," sudāni, "black").

The experimental results on time degradation of radiation-induced darkening effects in vitreous chalcogenide semiconductors of ternary stoichiometric (As2S3)y(GeS2)1-y (y: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) and non-stoichiometric (As2S3)x(Ge2S3)1-x (x: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8) systems with a variation of the average co-ordination number, Z, are discussed. It is established that adequate model for the quantitative description of these effects can be developed at the basis of bi-molecular relaxation function (RF) proper to annihilation of specific structural defects in the form of oppositively charged atoms with various co-ordinations. The observed features of the investigated dynamic radiation-optical changes in these glasses are explained by compositional dependences of their atomic compactness, as well as covalent bond statistics.

Daily Mail Unearths Indy 5 Pictures
AlexGherzo | Oct 16, 2021 | 0

Palma Rosa (botanical name Cymbopogon martini) is basically a grass that grows in the wild. This herb-like green and straw-hued grass has elongated thin stems and produces flowers at their terminals. The leaves of this wild grass are aromatic. While the grass is generally harvested prior to the appearance of the flowers, the maximum yield is attained when the grass has dried completely - usually after a week of cutting them.
Palma Rosa is native to India and the oil extracted from it has an aroma similar to that of rose. Owing to its fragrance Palma Rosa oil is widely used as an ingredient in perfumes, soaps and cosmetics. In addition, Palma Rosa essential oil also has several medicinal uses and is particularly effective in skin care, as it possesses moisturizing properties. Use of Palma Rosa oil encourages cell regeneration and also controls the production of sebum, thereby bestowing the oil with age-defying attributes. In addition, Palma Rosa oil is beneficial for the digestive system and was incorporated into Indian curry dishes as well as the meat dishes of West Africa with a view to eliminate bacteria as well as help in digestion. Palma Rosa essential oil is popular among aromatherapists owing to its skin conditioning attributes as well as its soothing and flower-like aroma.
Palma Rosa essential oil is extracted by means of steam distilling the dried grass, which is collected prior to their flowering. Chemical analysis of Palma Rosa essential oil has revealed that its main constituents include dipentene, geraniol, geranyl acetate, limonene, linalool and myrcene. As mentioned earlier, the aroma of this essential oil is akin to that of rose oil and this is why the herb has been named Palma Rosa. In fact, the similarity of its aroma and rose oil is also one of the reasons why Palma Rosa essential oil is occasionally used as a substitute for rose oil. In addition, Palma Rosa essential oil is also frequently adulterated with rose oil, as it is inexpensive compared to the latter.
The essential oil of Palma Rosa or Cymbopogon martini possesses the ability to reduce fever, as it is anti-bacterial, anti-viral as well as anti-septic. Hence, irrespective of bacteria or virus being responsible for the fever being, Palma Rosa essential oil is useful in cooling the body temperature and also calms the system.
Treating viral infections is a difficult task - in fact, more problematic than eliminating bacteria. Viruses usually form a protective coating over them, which is known as a cyst. This coating protects viruses from extreme conditions prevailing in their environment and is so strong that it is able to endure nearly all things in their surroundings. Moreover, viruses possess the ability to remain dormant inside the cyst till the time they find a suitable host. When they have found a host, the cyst breaks open and the virus also emerges from its dormant stage and begins multiplying rapidly. Applying Palma Rosa essential oil on the viruses or viral infections at this stage (when the microbes just start multiplying) helps to curb as well as restrain their ability to spread and eventually eliminates the microbes.
Palma Rosa essential oil also possesses anti-bacterial property and, therefore, its use is effective for holding back bacterial growth and ultimately eliminating them. This oil is also wonderful for treating internal bacterial infections, such as colitis as well as the infections of the stomach, colon, urinary tract, urinary bladder, and urethra, prostate and also the kidneys.

Palma Rosa oil also promotes the body's general growth. As this oil also encourages the growth and development of the body's defensive cells, its use is believed to be a wonderful means to reinforce the immune system.
Palma Rosa essential oil also aids digestion. In fact, this oil encourages the secretion of various digestive juices, including enzymes and acids, into the stomach. As a result, it promotes digestion. In addition, this essential oil also facilitates the body in absorbing the nutrients present in the ingested food, thereby making the digestive process further efficient.
Although most people are well acquainted with the word "septic", it appears that several of them actually do not comprehend the seriousness of the condition. This is mainly because most people have not endured the condition in their life. Briefly speaking, septic is an extremely excruciating condition that occurs when wounds become infected. In fact, wounds are very susceptible to infections as they are mostly open as well as unprotected. Washing wounds with Palma Rosa essential oil helps to protect them from being infected.
It has been found that Palma Rosa oil is most effective when used during convalescence and also helps to bring down the temperature during fever. At the same time, this oil also facilitates digestion, thereby aiding in keeping the intestines clear from infections, anorexia nervosa, and digestive atonia. It is also useful in providing relief from tender and stiff muscles.
The essential oil obtained by steam distillation of dried Palma Rosa grass is also a good moisturizer. Apart from keeping the skin moist and supple, it also helps in balancing the levels of hydration in the body and stimulates regeneration of cells. This oil also helps to regulate sebum production, which is necessary for maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin and effective for treating dermatitis and acne. It also helps to prevent scarring. In addition to regenerating and rejuvenating the skin, Palma Rosa essential oil also helps to combat minor infections of the skin, tender and tired feet as well as the condition called athlete's foot.

In addition, Palma Rosa essential oil helps to regularize the normal secretion of sebum, which is useful for maintaining the elasticity and suppleness of the skin.
At the level of the cells, Palma Rosa essential oil aids in new tissue formation and this is the main reason why its use is excellent for rejuvenating as well as regenerating the skin. This oil is most effective when combating any dry skin or while treating infections of the skin. According to many people, they have obtained excellent results when they applied Palma Rosa essential oil to the areas affected by the condition called athlete's foot.
Regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin is a comforting attribute of Palma Rosa essential oil.

Daur
Alternative Titles: Daghor, Daghur, Dagur, Dahur, Dawo'er, Ta-wo-erh
Daur, also spelled Daghor, Daghur, or Dagur, Manchu Dahur, Russian Daur, Chinese (Pinyin) Dawo'er (Wade-Giles romanization) Ta-wo-erh, Mongol people living mainly in the eastern portion of Inner Mongolia autonomous region and western Heilongjiang province of China and estimated in the early 21st century to number more than 132,000. They are one of the official ethnic minorities of China. Their language, which varies widely enough from other Mongolian languages to once have been thought to be Tungusic or a mixture of Mongolian and Tungus, is now known to be an archaic Mongolian dialect that preserves features found in 13th-century documents. Their name for themselves is Daur.
Russian settlers in the 17th century found the Daur well established in eastern Transbaikalia and the Amur region, and the Orthodox church sent missionaries to them in 1682. The Chinese government, not wishing the Daur to fall under Russian sway, resettled them. By the early 20th century many Daur lived in Heilongjiang, around the city of Hailar, and in the Nen River valley near the city of Qiqihar. Their chief occupations are agriculture, logging, hunting, stock raising, and horse breeding. The clan system prevails. Their religion is shamanistic, although some are adherents of Tibetan Buddhism.
Heilongjiang: People
The Daur (Dawo'er) Mongols live mostly in the upper Nen River valley, on the eastern foreland of the Da Hinggan Range. They are believed to have come from the north side of the Amur River during the 17th century. Hunters and fishers originally, they became one…
Mongolian languages
Mongolian languages, one of three subfamilies of the Altaic language family. The Mongolian languages are spoken in Mongolia and adjacent parts of east-central Asia. Their subclassification is controversial, and no one scheme has won universal approval. The central Mongolian languages are usually divided into a western group, consisting of the…
Rechabite
Rechabite, member of a conservative, ascetic Israelite sect that was named for Rechab, the father of Jehonadab. Jehonadab was an ally of Jehu, a 9th-century-bc king of Israel, and a zealous antagonist against the worshippers of Baal, a Canaanite fertility deity. Though of obscure origin, the…


When Jezza Williams first got his custom-made buggy at Christmas, he was free to drive again – something he hadn't done in seven years since an accident left him tetraplegic.
But when he returned home recently the buggy was gone, and Mr Williams "felt pretty sick".
The buggy had been stolen from his Waipara property on March 3.
Mr Williams is a C5 tetraplegic, meaning he is paralysed from his upper-chest downwards, and has limited hand and arm movements.
A 2010 accident while canyoning through waterfalls saw him fall 10 metres and clip his head on a rock, breaking his neck.
Mr Williams thought when he returned home from that his buggy had been shifted.
"I just rolled in, and normally the buggy is parked up front, and I just drove in and it was very weird. I was like 'it's been shifted'," he said.
The specially-made buggy had taken about seven months to put together after rigorous testing.
"In the world of disabilities, things are very expensive. But the guys at Vehicle Adaption Specialists did a good deed, put in all of their spare time and free time to get it perfectly done.
Mr Willaims was an avid adventurer and didn't let his disability stop him from rafting, hang-gliding, skydiving and doing other adrenalin-pumping activities.
He founded a company called Makingtrax which focused on allowing people with disabilities test the limits in the outdoors.
Mr Williams said the worst part of having his buggy stolen was knowing whoever took it would likely have no use for it.
He said the support he had recieved from people on social media had been "amazing", with over 4000 people sharing a post he made, but there was still no sight of the buggy.
"I would probably say that the buggy is not any good to anybody apart from myself, and what they can do is go' 'I made a bit of a mistake" or 'this guy probably needs it more than I do'.
