Spelsbury is a village and civil parish about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Charlbury and about 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. The village is on a narrow hill between the Coldron and Taston brooks overlooking the River Evenlode and the ancient Wychwood Forest to the south. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 305.[1]
The toponym is derived from the Old English for either "spying place" or the place of a person called "Speol". It was first recorded in the Cartularium Saxonicum in AD 1010 as Speoles byrig. In 1086 the Domesday Book recorded the village as Spelesberie.[2]
The Church of England parish church of All Saints was originally Norman with a central tower. In about 1200 transepts were added, but during the 13th century the Early English Gothic nave was built on the site of the Norman chancel. The nave is flanked by north and south aisles. The present west doorway in the tower and several of the windows in the aisles are early 14th century.[3]>
In 1706 the 1st Earl of Lichfield had the bell tower restored. In 1740 the 2nd Earl of Lichfield had the chancel rebuilt. In 1774 the 4th Earl of Lichfield had the nave and aisles remodelled. The chancel was rebuilt again in 1851.[3] Spelsbury parish includes the hamlets of Dean and Taston. In 2001 the Church of England Benefice of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Chadlington and Spelsbury merged with that of Enstone and Heythrop to form the Chase Benefice.[4]
Spelsbury has a group of almshouses built in 1688 by John Carry.[3] Coldron Mill, south-west of the village, is on a site where a mill has existed for at least a thousand years.[5] Winterberry Park built in 1725 by Thomas Archer is on the parish borders. In the village a drinking fountain in the shape of a shell commemorates Henry Dillon, 13th Viscount Dillon, who died in 1853.[6]
The poet John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester and his wife Elizabeth Malet lived and are buried in Spelsbury.[7] The actor Sir Ben Kingsley lives in the village.[8]

text: I'm Jenny Spenser and I finally got down to running my own blog. Today it's kind of a tradition: there seems to be something off with a person who doesn't have an account on one of the popular blogging platforms 🙂 I guess I wouldn't be able to avoid it anyway, since every beginning artist needs a place where they can share their work and get feedback from their followers. That's right, I've been studying at the painting school for three years now and I guess my pictures are finally becoming worthy of showing them to a wide audience 🙂 It's up to you to pass the verdict, though!

G-Dragon Ranks First Among Celebrities For Most Extensive Social Circle
G-Dragon has been listed as No. 1 among Korean celebrities for having the most extensive social circle!
The August 22 episode of tvN's "The List" ranked celebrities in order of most celebrity contacts. The show named Suzy, 2NE1's Sandara Park and CL, and BLACKPINK's Jennie as a few examples of G-Dragon's extensive list of female friends.
G-Dragon also shares a connection with actress Kim Hee Sun, who is 10 years older than he is, and calls her affectionately "Grandma." They were introduced by actress Park Han Byul. G-Dragon is also close with Uhm Jung Hwa, who is almost 20 years older than he is, after working on music together.
Through fashion pictorials, G-Dragon also has connections all over the world, including Japanese model and actor Nana Komatsu, Chinese star Angelababy, Taiwanese actor Chen Bolin, and Will Smith.
Park Shin Hye followed G-Dragon at No. 2 on the list. Through her dramas, her social circle includes Hallyu actors Jang Geun Suk, Lee Min Ho, Lee Jong Suk, and Kim Woo Bin, as well as CNBLUE's Jung Yong Hwa and FTISLAND's Lee Hong Ki. Park Shin Hye also shares connections to Kim Soo Hyun and Kang Ha Neul as they are all alumni of the acting department at the same university. To top it all off, she has formed unexpected friendships with Super Junior's Kim Heechul, INFINITE's Sunggyu, and BEAST's Yong Junhyung.
Ranked No. 3 on the list was actress Song Ji Hyo, who shares close friendships with her "Running Man" castmates and Super Junior's Kim Heechul. She is also close to Hallyu stars Song Joong Ki and Jo In Sung and recently formed a connection to Taiwanese actor Chen Bolin through the Chinese version of "We Got Married."
2NE1's CL was ranked No. 4 on the list with her close friendships with the BIGBANG members as well as YG Entertainment actor Kang Dong Won. She also has connections to fashion designer Jeremy Scott, will.i.am, and Snoop Dogg.

Nisha Sahni from Delhi has extensive experience, working in the marketing field and across various renowned hotel chains in India. Nisha's overall experience of 9+ years, donning several hats with various managerial roles, has stood her in good stead. She has bagged an exceptional offer now from the University of Sydney, Australia.
Look for marketing courses in Australia.
Nisha's Career Overview
Nisha holds two bachelors degrees – in Design and in Arts (completed in 2002 and 2003, respectively) from Delhi University. Shortly after completing her bachelors, she started her own social media projects, and in 2013 she was awarded the title 'social media champion' for all IHG hotels in India. She didn't stop there; she went on to enrol herself for a correspondence course in 2014 on Marketing Essentials, Change Management and Leadership & Motivation. And she was tutored online by a professor from Harvard.
Later, she moved on to launch promotional campaigns for bigger brands like the hotel Oberoi in Mumbai and achieved massive success. And soon she realised that she should move one-step ahead of her career, which would be possible with a masters degree abroad.
So Nisha decided to pursue Master of Marketing from one of the best business schools in Australia – the University of Sydney. "This course is meant for people with good professional experience and the particular programme 'Marketing Consulting Project' drew my attention to a great extent. It would help me work with a company of my choice and I also look forward to improve my leadership skills," says Nisha.
We're glad we could help Nisha get placed at one of the top universities in the world. Our counsellors are always keen on meeting and helping people like her who have a real zeal for making things happen and never take 'no' for anything. Though she had average marks and a correspondence degree, she built her profile and worked hard towards it. She made it a point to devote at least 9 years of her life into learning things like marketing strategies, brand building and product positioning so that she can achieve the next 'best' thing.
On asking her about her further plans, she says: "I would like to use my knowledge and experience gathered in the marketing sector in automobile or luxury goods sector. "As Nisha says she is a 'brand-oriented' and 'result-driven' individual, we wish her good luck in all her future endeavours.

Besides being incorrectly characterized as a "city school" by some, Hopkins is also misperceived still, by others, as a "pre-med factory." Indeed, Hopkins boasts a strong and popular pre-med program, with thirty of its top senior majors assured of slots at the prestigious John Hopkins Medical School each year.
Equally strong programs exist in other fields. International studies, art history, English, public health, neuroscience, business, and engineering are other very prominent majors. The University prides itself on research opportunities for its undergraduates. A new major branching from the art history department is in museum management, using resources at the superb Baltimore University of Art, tucked into the southeast corner of the campus. Dual degrees in music performance are offered with the Peabody Conservatory, a campus shuttle ride away.
Smart slackers will not be comfortable at Hopkins. With 87% of their students coming from the top 10% of the class, and with a strong pre-professional bent, Hopkins students work very, very hard. A degree from this institution takes its students far.

Guest Booker with Bill Eadie
Running time: 1:30
There was once a time when bookers sat in the audience to gauge the reaction to their decision. They realized that it was the fans that decided whether their ideas were good or not. Today, writers are disconnected from the desires of the paying fans, and their opinions and
Internet postings are largely ignored.
Bill Eadie booked at a time when the fans were everything. He learned from the greats that sat up in the "cheap seats" to hear what the true fans were saying. And he shares that old school mentality on this edition of Guest Booker.
We give Bill the task of booking a breakup of one of wrestling's most formidable teams. That team, Demolition, Eadie helped build. And now he'll have to tear it down for his booking exercise.
Bill Eadie reminds us that there was little relevance to a heel or babyface designation when someone was as over as Demolition was. And now he'll try and tap into the fans' imagination and have them choose sides…in this Guest Booker!

Revision as of 14:14, 16 January 2020
Habbox.com Version Seven was released in Public BETA on July 6th 2015, after a 3 year development. Early plans began in June 2012.
A Closed Beta was announced for department managers on March 28th 2015, and was mainly intended to find the majority of bugs before a public release was available.
On release of the Public Beta on July 6th, a forum was created with the title V7 Feedback & Discussion, intended for members to comment their thoughts and report bugs they might find. It is not known when this forum was removed, and it is assumed Version 7 is now in full release.
Delayed Release
Version 7 was delayed several times during development, most notably in 2012 after the Content Manager at the time, Zuth, leaked the site design to the public after a confrontation with General Manager xxMATTGxx involving his dismissal from the role. This led to a complete redesign and the project was halted.
Other delays were forced by recurrent staff changes to the Site Coders team, brought on by real life commitments.
HabboxLive Integration
With Version 7, members seen the long-awaited integration of HabboxLive.com with the main site, as declining interest in the radio was apparent and a separate domain was no longer needed. A merge of both sites was proposed many times beforehand, and early stages of development began late in Version 6 by the Assistant General Manager (Development) at the time, HotelUser, along with some members of the Graphics Department. These early plans were halted however, with the production of Version 7 beginning shortly thereafter.
A weekly timetable, song history and information on weekly shows can now be found under the HabboxLive menu.
- Clicking on the rocket icon at the bottom of the page will give the site a space theme. Hovering over this icon will also show credits towards those who developed this version.

Today the leaves started falling. We were travelling behind Watford Gap Service Area when the wind got up and the canal was covered with a carpet of leaves. Albert's prop cut a channel through what looked like vegetable soup.
Waiting for the Watford Flight (M1 in background)
We managed to get up early today and were probably the first down the Watford Flight. We only had to wait for two boats coming up. We got to Norton Junction at around eleven at waited to pair up, but no other boat arrived. The sun shone as we descended the flight and apart from a crew in front leaving a gate paddle up all went well. It is surprising how much water is lost from a paddle open only a couple of notches and how difficult it is to spot!
We had lunch at Whilton and then had a pleasant trip to Bugbrooke. It included spotting a Kingfisher near Brockhall. It's difficult to imagine spotting a such an illusive bird so close to one of the busiest stretches of motorway (M1) in the country.
We moored up near the Wharf just as the weather turned wintry- the clocks go back tonight. We decided that the Wharf looked inviting but were amazed to find that we were one of only five tables that were served all night (we left as they stopped serving). It was very quiet all night. Maggie had to resort to Strongbow tonight after her recent adventures with "real" cider.
Daisy has now developed a boating routine. She settles into sleep when we are travelling and takes her exercise when we stop. That's why at 10.30 at night she is practising here ball skills up and down the cabin. She is the female cat equivalent of Wayne Rooney - very fast, very skilled at ball control, but sometimes over exuberant. At the moment she has just collapsed on the rug in front of the fire - exhausted.

For a pretty and long lasting bouquet I love to pair cosmos and zinnias in a simple vase or Mason jar.
A simple still life on my kitchen table...a bouquet of zinnias and cosmos and a bowl of lemons.
Both types of flowers are easy to grow from seeds planted after all danger of frost is past in the Spring.
I love the "Come and Cut Again" zinnias.
Cosmos and Zinnias! A favorite for simple bouquets that will last up to a week with a change of water every few days to keep it fresh, clear, and unfunky.

Pole beans and morning glories "find" one another each year in the garden and seem to choose to grow together with no help from me.
Other plants that are supposed to benefit each other are corn and sunflowers, strawberries and borage, rue and hyssop, potatoes and lamb's quarters...
The list goes on.
Pretty and productive - pole beans and morning glories!

text: SelfDevouringSnake Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) This thread was going to be a lot more in depth, but I accidentally deleted everything I wrote (sometimes I get really pissed when this happens, but right now... eh it's chill). Here it is: the Official Thread About Guitar Chords Named After Guitarists Who Used Said Chord. A lot of you are probably familiar with the Hendrix chord (E7#9). I had written a paragraph about it, and provided some links about it, but I'm just not in the mood to try to repeat everything I wrote about it. This is the only guitar chord (and chord in general) I have ever heard of named after a person. I'll manage this list as reference. 1. Hendrix chord - Jimi Hendrix. Name of chord in musical theory: E7#9. Song in which chord is used by guitarist: "Purple Haze". Are there any other notable guitar chords named after guitarists who used said chord, and if so what is the chord and where did he/she use it?

Milkman Sound – Dairy Air Combo
The 30 watt Dairy Air was designed to be portable, versatile, and extremely simple. There is no reverb or tremolo option, which means I was able to fit a lot of power into a very small head cabinet. The idea is that if you travel by air, you can take this amplifier with you and use any speaker. Need a backline amp but don't like the tone? Take the lead from the internal speaker and plug it into your 30W head. Done. Take your tone with you!
The Dairy Air is built with the same high quality components as every other Milkman amplifier: Mercury Magnetics, Jupiter Capacitors, Carbon Composition Resistors – its all in there! I designed a custom aluminum chassis in order to make sure I could fit in all the best components. Every point is wired by hand, onto a custom made turret board, with cloth covered wire. Building an amp this way makes it very hard to damage, and very easy to service – you could bungee this thing to the outside of the airplane and still make your gig. (note: don't try that)
The Dairy Air has a matching speaker cabinet option, and it is available in any custom shop finish. The speaker cabinet is made out of pine, and is very light on its own. Even if you are not traveling by air, you will be traveling very light with this setup.
40W Class AB with 6L6

Crocuses are one of the first flowers to bloom in early spring. Their arrival always brings a very welcome splash of colour to the garden.
Part of the Iridaceae family, crocuses are low-growing plants (around 2-4 inches tall). Various colours are available, from purple and pink to orange and yellow. Many species of crocus perform well in rock gardens or raised beds.
Crocus x luteus 'Golden Yellow' was one of the first crocuses to bloom in the Pershore garden. It typically flowers in February and March – its bright, orange-yellow flowers are hard to miss!
Read more about crocuses, including planting tips.
The appearance of snowdrops (Galanthus) is one of the earliest signs that spring is on its way. Galanthus is a small genus made up of around 20 species. The genus sits within the Amaryllidaceae family.
Characterised by their delicate white flowers, you'd be surprised how much variation can be found; from shape and height to colour markings. Snowdrops flower from January to March. The snowdrop that most of us are familiar with is Galanthus nivalis (the common snowdrop). G. nivalis has been flowering in abundance in the AGS garden, with beautiful clusters popping up all over the place.
Read more about snowdrops.
'Iris' means 'rainbow' and what an appropriate name for this genus! There are so many colours of Iris, from blue and purple to yellow and orange – even red and black. Part of the Iridaceae family, there are around 300 species of Iris and with so much variety out there, you're sure to find one to suit your garden.
The rich violet-blue of Iris reticulata is blossoming in several pots in the Pershore garden. I. reticulata is the most well-known small bulbous iris. It flowers in early spring, adding much-needed colour to the garden.
Read more about irises.
Another genus that can be relied on for a burst of early colour is cyclamen. There are around 19 species in the genus which is part of the Primulaceae family.
Cyclamen coum is the species flowering in our alpine garden right now. This is a hardy perennial with captivating pink flowers. The leaves are just as interesting; ranging from plain dark green to patterned, silver and pewter. C. coum is such a well-loved plant among alpine enthusiasts that it's been featured as our Plant of the Month in the past.
Read more about C. coum or the genus as a whole.
As we reach mid-March, we're starting to see the familiar sunshine yellow of daffodils (Narcissus). Is there a clearer sign of spring? Narcissus is a genus of primarily spring-flowering perennials from the Amaryllidaceae family.
There are beautiful clusters of daffodils blooming in our garden, including Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête', a dwarf daffodil (up to 20cm tall).
Read more about Narcissus.

Directed by Brad Peyton, the action-adventure smash 'em up flick Rampage follows what happens when the gorilla best friend of primatologist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson), who has been in his care since he rescued the young orphan from poachers, suddenly finds himself an enormous raging creature due to an experiment gone wrong. And to make matters even worse, there are other similarly altered animals who are destroying everything in their path, leaving Davis to team up with geneticist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to secure an antidote and save the world.
At the film's Los Angeles press junket, Collider got the opportunity to sit down with filmmaker Brad Peyton to chat 1-on-1 about breaking the video game to movie curse with Rampage, why Dwayne Johnson is someone that people believe can save the world, why he so strongly identifies with his muse (they've worked together three times now), and being inspired by James Cameron and Steven Spielberg for the film's tone. He also talked about figuring out the tone for Just Cause, another video game to movie project that he's currently developing with Jason Momoa, why he'd love to make a Marvel superhero movie or a Star Wars movie, and making his Netflix series Frontier.
Collider: This is such a fun movie! It's exactly what you want from a movie like this.
BRAD PEYTON: I hope! Yeah, that's what I felt like it was supposed to be.
When this idea came your way, were you aware of the whole video game to movie curse?
PEYTON: As a fan of movies and video games, and all things nerddom and fanboy, because that's who I am. I knew about it, but when I went to do the movie, I forgot all about that. And then, we had a press day, maybe in the last week of shooting, and someone said, "So, what do you think of this video game curse?" And I was like, "Oh, my god!" I was so happy that didn't come up until the last week of shooting. I had pushed it out of my mind. Now that I've had time to digest it and think about it, the thing that I feel really fortunate about is that it's the best of both worlds. There's a game that people recognize and have a nostalgic relationship with, that I can take elements from and pay homage and respect to. A team of artists worked on this thing and you don't want to just not pay respect to it, so I could take the creatures and I could take little Easter eggs, like Malin [Akerman] in the red dress. The woman in the red dress is a little bit of an Easter egg from the game.
There was just so much stuff that I could do for myself. I could invent this plot. I could invent all these great secondary characters. I could focus on the things that I wanted to focus on, like the theme of trust, and the relationship between Davis and George. None of that is in the game. It was the best of both worlds, where I could do all of this cool stuff with a video game, but I could also do all of these things that I wanted to do, as a filmmaker. It doesn't have a massive mythology, that you have to make sure you deal with correctly. There just wasn't any of that baggage. That's a tricky line, when it comes to adaptations of video games. I play video games, all the time, and I know how immersive they can be. I fall into voids when I play video games. With Red Dead Redemption, I didn't leave the house for two months. Those worlds are so rich and so immersive, and you're the hero, so how do you compete with that when you're doing a narrative that is supposed to be similar. This movie didn't have those pitfalls or trappings. This was a very fortunate situation.
What's the situation with Just Cause, where you're doing another video game turned movie? Are you thinking more about that curse now?
PEYTON: No, I'm not focusing on the curse. I don't believe in curses.
You've broken the curse with Rampage!
PEYTON: I hope so! Knock on wood, I broke the video game curse. I think it comes down to paying respect to the material, but giving people a different experience, that's unique unto itself and that is built off of the same foundation. With Just Cause, I broke it down to a tone and what the title really is about. It's called Just Cause. It's about someone who's like, "I'm gonna make something unjust in the world right." The world has this fun tone. When I talked to Jason Momoa about it, he was like, "I want to do a bad-ass Bond. I want to do a guy that just sits on the beach and drinks." I pitched him one of the first images from the game, which is the guy sitting on the beach and having a beer, and there's a boat out in the water. He hits a button, the boat blows up, and then he drinks his beer. I was like, "That's who this guy is," and he was like, "Oh, my god, yes! I'll do that!" That is tonally what [the film] should be, and the title represents that idea. From there, we have to make our own thing. It has to pay respect and give the fans what they need, but also be a unique thing.
Where are you at with the development for that?
PEYTON: We're working on the script. Jason [Momoa], myself, and my producing partner, Jeff [Fierson], have a show on Netflix, called Frontier, so we have a good working relationship with him, and he's a really easy, good guy to work with. At this point, we're just working on his character and we're working on the script.
You've put Dwayne Johnson in the path of a volcano and the epicenter of an earthquake, and now he's got these creatures after him. What is it about him that makes him someone that can save the world, in any circumstance, and people just buy it and love it?
PEYTON: He's larger than life, in real life. I don't quite totally understand it, but when he does things, you just believe it. I deal with this, as a filmmaker, where I'll see a line written and be like, "I don't know about that." And then, he'll do it, and I'm like, "Damn, that is movie star charisma!" I think it's that. He has this fearlessness and self-belief, mixed with more charisma than 400 normal people taped together. He just has that thing, so when he fully devotes himself to an idea, you go, "Yeah, of course he could save the world!" I try to support that with good storytelling, emotion and rationalization, as to how someone could do all this stuff, but it's amazing how much people just want to believe it. No matter what he's doing, people are just like, "I wanna see him smash dinosaurs!" People want to get on the ride with Dwayne.
What makes him your muse?
PEYTON: For me, it's interesting because we both come from nothing, from a little bit on the wrong side of the tracks, we worked our way up, and we're around the same age. There are many differences, like I'm not a golden god, but there's a work ethic there and a drive. I've learned a lot from working with him. When I was a really poor, young, aspiring filmmaker, I watched and read everything that I could. I would read every book on filmmaking and watch every interview, and I remember seeing an interview with Dwayne for the Gridiron Gang, and I thought to myself, "Man, he seems like a genuinely good person." I was 21 years old and I was like, "Out of all the stars in the world, I think I'd get along with him." It was somewhat naive, but that thing in him is what drew me to working with him. And then, when I working with him, I was like, "He is that thing." He is a genuinely good, hard-working person, who has his heart in the right place and an abundance of talent." I can work with him because I relate to him, but he has all of these superpowers that I don't have. It's a really interesting working relationship. Ultimately, what's great about it, when we get together, is that I feel we make each other better. The end product becomes greater than the sum of the parts, which is not always the case. I feel really, really fortunate that that's how we work.
This seems like a tricky movie, in the sense that you want to have some silly fun and there's some great humor to it, but there's also some seriousness. What did you use to gauge that balance?
PEYTON: I'm going to thank James Cameron for that one. I grew up in the late '80s, early '90s, with a lot of Cameron and [Steven] Spielberg. Those guys are masters. As a filmmaker, I put theme and the emotion first. I think about, what is the movie about? This movie is about friendship and trust, ultimately. There's a little bit of anti-poaching and some substantial stuff in there, that you can then build on top of. What's important to me is thinking about, what's the theme? What's the movie about? Where's the heart of this? Where's the emotion of this? Those are my compasses. I'm very much a gut filmmaker. I let those things guide me, instinctively. I feel lucky that I grew up when I did because, to me, the ultimate tone of a movie is Terminator 2. I grew up on Star Wars and reading Marvel comics. I'm so excited that they're making Marvel movies. I have a house on the east coast, out in the woods, where my girlfriend and I live when we're not working, and I literally have 4,000 Marvel comics from my childhood. My parents sold their house and were like, "You need to get your crap out of our house." I was going through the comics with her and I was like, "Hey, look, it's Black Panther #1! I don't even remember owning that! It's Spider-Man #1!"
I collected all that stuff. It's in my DNA. I grew up with this stuff. You think back to Terminator 2 and it's a robot from the future with an Austrian accent, who beats up some bikers, puts his leather chaps on, and comes out to "Bad to the Bone." And at the end of the movie, he gives a thumbs up and you're weeping. How does that work?! If you broke that down and said, "Okay, here's the pitch, and we're gonna do these things," people would say, "James Cameron, you're insane!" When I said, "Okay, this is what I wanna do with Rampage," some people were like, "What?!" I even have friends of mine that are big writers, who've done big, huge movies, and I'd show them an early cut and they'd be like, "This shouldn't work. How does this work?!" My gut reaction to that is, "I grew up in the right time period and I'm making what I wanna see, which is what I grew up on. That's what I'm inspired by, and I'm very clear on what the movie is about. I think those things come off the rails when your heart isn't in it and your gut isn't it and when you don't have a really strong compass to what you should really be doing. I stress out a lot because I try to keep my compass true north, at all times, every day, which is exhausting, but that's the guide.

25 March 1942: Greeks march defiantly on Independence Day, despite the triple occupation of Greece by Germans, Italians and BulgariansWW2 in Greece
By Pierre Kosmidis
By April 1941, Greece became yet another country under Axis occupation, after 8 months of bitter fighting against the Italians and the Germans.
The winter of 1941-42 was one of the harshest, with people dying of famine and exposure to the elements in the streets of Athens and all across Greece.
Wednesday March 25, 1942 was an important day for Greece.
The Greeks were celebrating the National Independence Day, but under the boot of the occupying forces, any celebration would be seen as an act of defiance.
According to this period photo, shot on this very day and smuggled out of Greece, we see Greeks marching proudly in the streets of Athens, with the Greek flag, paying their respect to the Independence Day and sending a straightforward message to the invaders.
Shortly after this photo was shot, the occupying forces dispersed this rally, according to the original caption of the photo.

Abstract | Full Text
Background: There is a wide geographic and temporal variability of bacterial resistance among microbial causes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The contribution of multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens to the VAP etiology in Saudi Arabia was never studied. We sought to examine the extent of multiple-drug resistance among common microbial causes of VAP. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective susceptibility study in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) of King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Susceptibility results of isolates from patients diagnosed with VAP between October 2004 and June 2009 were examined. The US National Healthcare Safety Network definition of MDR was adopted. Results: A total of 248 isolates including 9 different pathogens were included. Acinetobacter spp. was highly (60-89%) resistant to all tested antimicrobials, including carbapenems (three- and four-class MDR prevalence were 86% and 69%, respectively). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was moderately (13-31%) resistant to all tested antimicrobials, including antipseudomonal penicillins (three- and four-class MDR prevalence were 13% and 10%, respectively). With an exception of ampicillin (fully resistant), Klebsiella spp. had low (0-13%) resistance to other tested antimicrobials with no detected MDR. Staphylococcus aureus was fully susceptible to vancomycin with 42% resistance to oxacillin. There were significant increasing trends of MDR Acinetobacter spp. however not P. aeruginosa during the study. Resistant pathogens were associated with worse profile of ICU patients but not patients′ outcomes. Conclusion: Acinetobacter in the current study was an increasingly resistant VAP-associated pathogen more than seen in many parts of the world. The current finding may impact local choice of initial empiric antibiotics.

The 2016 Underwater Photographer of the Year Contest
Organizers of the Underwater Photographer of the Year Contest have just announced their winning photos for 2016. The winner Davide Lopresti beat entrants from 54 different countries with his portrait of a spiny seahorse taken in Trieste, Italy. Prizes and commendations were also handed out in a number of categories, including Wide Angle, Macro, Wrecks, Behavior, Up & Coming, and, in British waters, Wide Angle, Compact, and Macro shots. UPY has been kind enough to share some of this year's honorees with us below. Winner, International, Wrecks. I was unable to descend because I had to take care of Maja, my five year old daughter who is unable to snorkel by herself. So my only possibility was a shot from the surface. It was too rough for a normal over/under shot. I decided to try a wave & wreck shot with the island of Curacao in the background. All taken while swimming together with my daughter. I needed several tries to compose the wreck, the wave, and the island in one shot. But at the end I got this real over/under shot with a total view of the famous wreck. British Underwater Photographer of the Year, Title Winner. Also winner of British Macro. Just off a headland in this beautiful bay is a reef system favoured as a laying ground for the eggs, or 'mermaids purse' of the smallspotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula). The day I chose to visit the reef for a snorkel I came across many egg cases wrapped tightly into the weed. Positioning my strobe carefully took some time but the resulting image, with the low-visibility providing a celestial-like quality, shows the hidden beauty within this system of reproduction. Taken near Thurlestone, Devon, UK Underwater Photographer of the Year. Overall Title Winner. Also winner of International Macro. Over the years the Mediterranean's population of seahorses has drastically reduced. Their numbers have only recovered thanks to public awareness and a significant restocking campaign. Areas of the sea have now been set aside, protected from harmful fishing methods like trawling. This has allowed vulnerable and delicate creatures, like sea horses, to return. This is what I hoped to celebrate with this image. For this shot, I used a long exposure and camera panning, to give dynamism to the image. I then used a focused beam of light from my strobe to freeze the details in the subject. My aim was to give the scene a sense of grace and strength simultaneously. Taken near Sistiana, Italy. Third Place, International, Behaviour. Every year, millions of crabs (Polybius henslowii) form large red masses in places along the coast of Portugal. This high density of swimming crabs is somewhat rare. On this day we first spotted some dispersed crabs, but it took us almost an hour to find a higher concentration. And a further 20 minutes of blue-water diving until I noticed this immense 'red cloud' made up of maybe several thousand crabs swimming through the water. Taken in the Berlengas Natural Reserve, Portugal. Highly Commended, Up & Coming. We found the Moray on a late afternoon diving trip with my diving buddy, with cleaner shrimps on his head. I spent a lot of time waiting for him to open his mouth wide so I could take a photo of it, but was unsuccessful. Right after I let my photographer buddy use the Moray as a model, he opened his mouth. When my buddy was done taking photos, he let me get back to our model, but by that time, the Moray had his mouth closed again! Taken in the Red Sea, near Egypt. Winner, British Wide Angle. The National Dive & Activity Centre is the deepest inland dive center in the UK. The day the photo was taken, the dive plan was to explore the deep end, a dive we had done many times before but this time I dived "un-plugged" (without my strobes). With the exception of this change to my camera technique, there were no planned shots either my buddy or I wanted to achieve - just a fun dive with ad-hoc photos along the way. Shortly after this photo was captured, in 6 degree water and 2 hours of decompression ahead of us, we turned and started the long ascent back to the surface. Taken at the National Dive & Activity Centre, Chepstow, UK. Wide Angle. I'm often asked if this photo is just a photomontage. Nothing would be easier, with today's photo editing tools, but there were really seven Caribbean reef sharks in the same frame on this day in January of 2014. In the marine sanctuary of Gardens of the Queen in Cuba, sharks follow the divers during the whole dive, up to surface where they swim in large numbers under the boat. I just slightly moved away, to keep divers out of the frame, and only have sharks swimming in open water. Rays of light and clear water did the rest. Commended, Wide Angle. We planned to dive in April in Greenland to specially photograph the icebergs. In spring the visibility is very good. The water is about -2� Celsius, but at the sight of the ice during the dive, the icy temperature can quickly be forgotten. The structures of the giant are shimmering blue-greenish in the strong sunlight. In some places sharp edges like oversized axes rise from the ice and in others the ice is traversed by fine cracks that run like veins through it. Almost everywhere is a thin, transparent layer of ice, only a few centimeters thick, over a solid white core that looks like snow. Taken near Tasiilaq, East Greenland. Highly Commended, Macro. This weedy scorpionfish was surrounded by many photographers when I found it. When it was my turn, I only had four minutes left before needing to ascend, so I took several shots in a hurry. I felt so disappointed and kept thinking about how beautiful it looked before. I decided to go back the following day. This also gave me more time to consider and manage a unique way to present her charm better. The characteristic of this fish is her beautiful lace, so I thought backlighting it would emphasize its details. I placed a light on the right back of this fish, facing left front and took several shots. While I was adjusting the settings on the camera, she suddenly turned about 80 degrees as can be seen on the picture. The angle, light, and position were perfect. Click! Taken near Anilao, Philippines. Highly Commended, Wide Angle. During a day sailing the Mediterranean Sea, I was very lucky to find a big pod of Pilot whales that accepted me in the blue water. They were turning around me, it was an amazing experience and a great opportunity to photograph them. Highly Commended, Up & Coming. In a public pool in Hamburg our bassist went underwater. The biggest challenge was the uplift, so we fastened lead weights under her clothes and at her ankles. We drilled holes into the bass, so that it could fill with water. Her makeup consisted of special waterproof paint. In order to put her into the perfect light, we set up two Arri-18 KW-lights at the pool's edge. All procedures were closely discussed with her in advance before we went into the water accompanied by safety divers. The underwater communication happened only with gestures. The shooting itself had to happen very fast and to the point, but we all had great fun and the results speak for themselves. Highly Commended, British Waters Macro. This delightful little guy was on a strand of kelp at 15 meters in a gully of the South Coast of the UK. It was an emotional experience all round. Compact Cameras, UK. While trying to photograph trout during a year-long river project with a home-made pole-cam, a raft of Mallard ducks muscled in to steal food intended to entice trout to the camera. This initial nuisance became an interesting opportunity and, shooting blind with the camera on the pole, I managed to catch the trout below water with a duck swimming overhead. Snell's window (a refraction phenomenon narrowing the view of surface scenes for underwater viewers) was an important pre-determined part of the composition. This needed a low viewpoint, an upward camera angle, and a metric ton of patience to allow all the elements to come together and make the picture work. Taken on the River Test, Hampshire, Third Place, International Macro. During a night dive at around midnight, I found this pair of seahorses (Hippocampus guttulatus). I watched, mesmerized as they swam in the shallows holding each other by the tail. The scene was something majestic, a magic only enhanced by the beauty of the location, illuminated by the full moon. Taken in the Ionian Sea near Taranto, Italy. Grand Cayman. USS Kittiwake and diver. Highly Commended, Wrecks. This image was taken during a workshop given by David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes at the Cayman Islands. I attended the workshop and we visited many sites during our dives, including two dives at the USS Kittiwake. The diver in the picture is David Doubilet who very kindly offered himself as a model to his students! Highly Commended, Behaviour. I love looking for Longnose Hawkfish. In the Maldives, the place to look for them is in the bushes of Black Frondy Coral. They are very skittish subjects at the best of times, some will swin off, and some will hang around. This little guy didn't mind me looking at him, and only by studying him over a few minutes did I sense he was doing something unusual. Without warning, he shot off his perch to return a few seconds later with something in his mouth. I aimed my camera as best I could, and tripped the shutter. It was only later when I reviewed the image in my hotel room did I realise what I had actually captured. Magic Commended, British Waters Macro. Having found a lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) tending to his newly laid eggs in the early spring, I made several visits back to the site over the coming weeks to study the development of the juveniles within the eggs. On this occasion there was a long-clawed porcelain crab (Pisidia longicornis) seeming poised to eat some of the young. Taking my time to observe, it turned out that the crab was actually helping to keep the eggs clean of parasites by eating them off the egg casings. A most fascinating behavior to watch! Commended, Macro. harlequin shrimp (Hymenocera picta) is one of my best critters to shoot because of its colors and its shape. It is quite common to see in Seraya Secrets in Bali, often while eating starfish. Highly Commended, Wide Angle. I took this picture during the Swim the Island, a competition of swimming in the sea, where contestants will compete over a distance of 6 kilometers, making a circle around the island of Bergeggi in Liguria, Italy. Commended, Macro. Gobies on sea pens and whip corals are a very common subject for macro photography and I'm always trying to come up with a new way of shooting them. I have had many attempts to get a shot like this with the snooted strobe either mounted on camera or off camera on a tripod but could never get the positioning of the narrow beam just right while trying to manage the camera as well. I was finally able to get the shot I wanted by using our dive guide to position the snoot where I wanted it leaving me free to concentrate on getting the shot. Taken in Anilao, Philippines. Highly Commended, Macro. Jellyfish Lake was one of the highlights of my trip to Palau. SCUBA diving is not allowed in this lake, so I was free diving when I took this photo. The thousands of jellyfish in this lake are simply breathtaking to behold, but made it challenging to find one in isolation. With the sunlight above me I finally managed to capture this single jellyfish, while the rays of light passing down through the water illuminated the multitude of its brethren, creating the backdrop I was trying to achieve. Highly Commended, Wrecks. The SS Thistlegorm is one big playground for underwater photographers to create good images. In the lower holds that contains several different truck models, you can find this Albion AM468 aircraft fueling truck, one of six trucks. With its characteristic box-shaped cabin, it is a beautiful object to photograph. To get to the natural light, I chose a slow shutter speed to take in as much of the natural background light as possible. I could easily spend the entire dive inside the wreck. Taken in the Red Sea near Egypt. Highly Commended, Wide Angle. Returning from a dive with bull sharks I saw a beautiful flock of seagulls flying very low over a crowded beach. These white creatures are comfortable with human presence, they usually fly low and gently over people looking for food; this behavior allowed me to try to shoot them from beneath the water. It took many tries visiting the area and thousands of photos before getting it. With this photograph I want to show that ordinary subjects can become extraordinary depending on the perspective you see them from. Taken near Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Highly Commended, Up & Coming. Living for a while in my youth in southeast Alaska, I came to appreciate the Golden Eagle, a majestic creature admired for her dazzling aeronautics and airborne confidence. Alas, I was then ill-equipped to portray such splendor and supremacy of the skies. In previous underwater forays, I had depicted turtles as peaceful, graceful "cuties," while they are actually among the sea's most resilient creatures. Hatched into a world in which one in one thousand reach maturity, sea turtles face increasing human demand for their meat, eggs, and shells, rendering most species at risk of extinction. Inspired in this very moment by the Alaskan Golden Eagle, I seized upon this shot of the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle. In Sodwana Bay, South Africa, under a moderate current and scarce light, the creature revealed a nature transcending mere gracefulness: confidence, born of longevity against all odds, and a seeming sense of itself as among the most magnificent denizens of the sea. Winner, International Wide Angle. Cages are more commonly associated with photographing great white sharks, but I constructed a cage to keep me safe as I captured the fishing behaviour of the bear. I waited many hours in the cold water for the bear to come close enough to make my photo. The bear's strategy is to start by sitting down, putting his head under the water, looking for fish. Once the fish start to ignore him, he creeps closer before making his crucial lunge to snare a large salmon in his paws, or teeth. He would usually stay underwater for about 20 seconds. This bear came to this place in the river several times a day. Each time he caught about 5 fish and then went for a rest on the beach. Taken in Kuril Lake, Kamchatka, Russia. Runner Up, British Macro. In the summer of 2015, Scottish Natural Heritage asked a dive team to conduct site monitoring of Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) which included North Rona, which is where this image was taken. We had come to the end of a dive inside a cave. Just before we reached the surface we noticed an unusual amount of zooplankton which had become trapped inside the cave entrance. We then spotted a couple of tiny, post-larval monkfish feeding on the plankton, something none of us had ever seen. Getting an in-focus shot with my macro lens was easier said than done with prevailing swell, but I managed a few before the boat came to pick us up. Runner Up, International, Behavior. I entered the cold November water to photograph a pair of humpback whales which passed by very quickly. Swimming back to the boat I saw a small moving object in front of me; it was a Hawaiian petrel submerging its head to feed on the tiny crustaceans. Under normal circumstances as you get close it will fly away, but surprisingly, it just kept feeding in front of me. By approaching very slowly I was able to get close from beneath, thankfully it stayed there for a few moments allowing me to capture this behavior. Taken near Todos Santos, Mexico.

Apple has just implemented a new feature that will make it more difficult to accidentally start a subscription to an app. When you hit the subscribe button and authenticate with TouchID or FaceID, you'll now see a pop-up notice asking you to confirm your subscription or to cancel the process if you change your mind. "The subscription will continue unless canceled in Settings at least one day before a subscription period ends," it reads.
The update is part of Apple's ongoing effort to make in-app payment options more transparent. In January, the company began requiring app subscriptions to show the full cost to users before signup to crack down on misleading in-app subscriptions.
The new confirm subscription step rolled out sometime in the last week, making it an unusual change that wasn't included in a standard update to iOS. Nonetheless, it's great to see Apple making things clearer for iOS users and prevent them from falling for scams or bad actors.

Man arrested after A14 police chase drama
PUBLISHED: 16:33 17 July 2019 | UPDATED: 09:19 19 July 2019
A man has been arrested on suspicion of burglary after a break-in at a Bury St Edmunds secondary school resulted in a police chase on the A14.
Officers were called at 12.10am today to reports of glass being smashed at King Edward VI School in Grove Road and on arrival saw a vehicle leaving the scene.
Police pursued the vehicle onto the A14 before it left the carriageway at Risby and then collided with street furniture.
Officers arrested a 33-year-old man from London in the car park of Claas UK in Risby on suspicion of burglary and are still hunting another man in connection with the incident.
The man was taken to Bury St Edmunds Investigation Centre and has since been bailed until August 1.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said two offenders got into the kitchen area and then smashed glass to gain entry to an office.
A sum of cash, along with food and drink items, were stolen.
The school was open today but the kitchen was closed while crime scene investigators worked at the site.
Pupils were able to access other food outlets at the school during the day.
A statement on the King Edward VI School website thanked students for their maturity during a "logistically tricky day" and confirmed its catering services would be back to normal tomorrow.
The statement read: "We are pleased to report that the scenes of crime officers have finished their invetsigatory work and that we can now access the school's kitchen.
"The catering team have committed to clearing, cleaning and sorting their workspace in time to resume full catering service from tomorrow morning.
"We are hugely grateful to them for their efforts and feel lucky to have such resilient and resourceful colleagues.
"Our students have been mature and helpful over the course of a logistically tricky day and we thank them for their forbearance."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Suffolk Constabulary on 101, quoting reference 41729/19.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The Israeli Military in the Service of the Dead Sea Beach Operators: HCJ 5148/08 the Association for Civil Rights in Israel v. Chief of the General Staff (Judgment of December 10, 2009)
Court Watch | 5148/08 | 1.12.2009 | Adv. Yossi Wolfson

"Cover ass" is not appropriate language, but as whitewashing is not a proper act in the legal world, why use proper language to describe it?
This is all that the justices of the Supreme Court wrote in their judgment in HCJ 5148/08
the Association for Civil Rights in Israel v. Chief of the General Staff
The essence of the petition – the lifting of the ban on the entry of Palestinian residents through the Beit Ha'arava checkpoint – has been granted in that since the end of August, 2008, the operation of the Beit Ha'arava checkpoint was discontinued in its previous format, whereby the entry of Palestinian residents to the Dead Sea area was blocked at various times. As of today passage at the checkpoint is no longer barred, but it is used for checking activities only. Nonetheless, in the event of a focused security alert, a temporary blocking of passage by Palestinians through the checkpoint may occur.
As for the second facet of the petition, related to the statements made by the departing commander of the Bika'a Brigade in respect of the background to the prevention of the entry of Palestinians through the checkpoint, an extensive enquiry into the matter was held within the framework of a hearing led by the head of the command, and with the participation of others.
In the framework of this enquiry it was clarified to the departing brigade commander that his statements, from which it arose that there were, ostensibly, non-security considerations in the operation of the checkpoint, were untrue and improper, and in fact the establishment and operation of the checkpoint are rooted entirely in security considerations. This military policy was also clarified in informational activities and briefings to the soldiers. The message was relayed and emphasized also upon the new brigade commander's assumption of office.
Under these circumstances, the military did not take further measures against the departing brigade commander. We see no room to intervene in the way the military handled this facet of the petition.
The petition is denied.
The reader may wonder what the brigade commander's statements were which the High Court of Justice (HCJ) prefers to describe in a general and vague manner only. The answer, which is not in the judgment itself, is provided in the petition of the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI).
It appears that in a briefing to reserve officers, the brigade commander explained that the reason for the erection of the Beit Ha'arava checkpoint was the economic harm caused to Jewish settlements on the beaches of the Dead Sea when Palestinians vacation there alongside Jewish vacationers. Namely, where there is "mixing", there is less income. The brigade commander was also able to recount that the checkpoint was erected due to these considerations following an appeal by the district council. As one of the officers, Lieutenant (res.) Na'aman Falah, stated in an affidavit attached to the petition:
In training which preceded deployment, regiment commanders had a briefing with the section brigade commander. Some of the statements the brigade commander made in this briefing: some of the Dead Sea beaches are owned privately by the settlements. The beaches are a private business. The arrival of Palestinians from the Territories to the beaches harms tourism and the economy of beach owners. The district council contacted the defense ministry on this issue and that it why there is a checkpoint at the Beit Ha'arava junction.
The checkpoint's operation was consistent with this purpose: it was mostly active on weekends, when many Israelis visit the Dead Sea beaches. The soldiers at the checkpoint did not perform a security check on Palestinians wishing to cross it but turned them away – including groups of children on school or summer camp trips. It must be stressed – this is a checkpoint located in the heart of the Territories and blocks access to the part of the Dead Sea beaches which is in the West Bank. Racist attempts by beach operators to prevent the entry of Arabs is nothing new and it has been brought before the court in the past.
Thus, the opinion that what the brigade commander told his subordinates was not a product of an overactive imagination is not unfounded.
It appears that these important security considerations were not significant enough to defend in a legal proceeding. Less than two months after ACRI submitted the petition, Palestinians ceased being denied passage at the checkpoint
Yet the military denied the statements of the brigade commander. Certainly not! The reasons for the checkpoint were security related only. The economic interests of the settlements operating the Dead Sea beaches had nothing to do with the erection of the checkpoint.
However, it appears that these important security considerations were not significant enough to defend in a legal proceeding. Less than two months after ACRI submitted the petition, Palestinians ceased being denied passage at the checkpoint.
And what of the brigade commander's statements? As the judgment notes, it was made clear to the officer that his "statements" were untrue and improper. However, the court notes that the military "did not take further measures against the departing brigade commander". The tables have turned. There is no alleged reason to doubt the statements of the brigade commander who innocently conversed with his subordinates. However, in such a case, it is necessary to take action against whoever granted the district council's request and ordered the erection of the checkpoint. As for the brigade commander's statements, which were entirely true: they must be lauded since they led (even if contrary to his intention) to the truth being uncovered and a wrong being stopped. A person should never be punished for speaking the truth! However, according to the military, the brigade commander lied and therefore his statements, which are racist and misinterpret the mission, are what is wrong. Or, as Justice Joubran said during the hearing of the petition, the brigade commander should have assumed that among those who heard him there were non-Jewish soldiers (as if there is nothing wrong with an officer making racist remarks when there are no Arabs in his audience).
A person reading the judgment might get the impression that the petitioners sought to have action taken against the brigade commander for his statements, which were one of the pillars on which the petition rested – but this is not the case. ACRI did not petition on manners. ACRI's petition sought to investigate who gave the illegal order to block Palestinians' access to the Dead Sea. Like the statements of the brigade commander, so the remedy sought and the disputed issue were blurred in the judgment.
The affair leaves us with two questions:
The first relates to the military. Did the military try to whitewash an illegal order to deny Palestinian access to the Dead Sea in order to ethnically segregate the beaches and serve the economic interests of the settlers who operate them; or are we to believe that the brigade commander's statements were inconsonant with reality?
The second question relates to the court. The court chose not to provide a full description of the facts in its judgment, a description which would have given those reading the judgment insight into the doubts regarding the military's conduct. In any event, the judgment does not explicitly rule whether what is at issue is an illegal order and whitewashing on the part of the military or a bizarre statement by a brigade commander. It appears, implicitly, that the court adopts the latter option. Yet why not present the matter in full and provide reasons for the ruling in the context of an orderly presentation of the facts? Is it improper to put the inappropriate statement on paper? Is it difficult to explain why the court was satisfied that the enquiry held by the military suffices to remove the concern that there was an illegal order? Perhaps it is more convenient for the embarrassing affair to collect dust among the files of the court rather than be exposed to public scrutiny via the judgment.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
– Abraham Lincoln
This is my favorite season. The flower buds bursting through the earth… the vibrant purples and pinks on the cherry, pear, dogwood trees. The gorgeous Eastern redbud's lavender flowers lining the woods (and Interstate 40, ha!)
Thankfully, I don't suffer from allergies anymore (I will elaborate in a future post!) so I have enjoyed warm evenings playing basketball with Gabe, watching Eliza try to learn how to scoot on the scooter, and wincing as Asher "helps" to water the yard (and maybe water things that aren't supposed to get we too–like me!)
I took some extra pics yesterday during the kids' Easter egg hunt–the flower pics shown below. I'm still doing photography here & there, for friends and family. It's still something I enjoy, and would do more of, if given a few more hours in each day or week 🙂 These are all straight out of my camera, with no editing–no time for editing these days!
Here's some of our garden/yard from Sunday:
Our Japanese maple:
And some of my faves… Irises!
And because they're so darn cute… Some pics of the kiddos!
Asher loved it the most! Nearly 5 years old… this is my spunky, happy-go-lucky, dimpled boy!
Gabe wasn't too happy he didn't have a basket… so he started off very crabby, but quickly morphed into Uncle-mode and helped Eliza find eggs. Then into cool big brother mode, teaching Asher about the different coins that the Easter Bunny brought (instead of candy!) Very selfless… A proud mom moment! It truly melted my heart!
And last but not least, our "little missy"… she is quite a lively one! She enjoyed the egg-hunting too (and the popsicle!)
I had a mom-fail moment and forgot to get Easter baskets out of the attic. So, that's why they're using mixing bowls 🙂 I Hope you had a wonderful Easter too!

It is an implied but not a specified practice in Maliki Shariah. The response of the authorities in Britain to radical Shariah ideology has been ambivalent. Mirpuris, as they are accepted, are overrepresented in British Muslim politics, accounting for numerous lord mayors or former lord mayors in Bradford and other inwijkeling centres. Relevant permission was obtained and the interviews were conducted in local primary health anxiety clinics within Grahamstown. But Sunni Kurdish communities, as well as Saudi Arabia, the Horn of Africa, and areas geographically near to the latter particularly Egypt are influenced by other varieties of customary law, and accept so-called honour murder and FGM. Yet the Saudi Shariah courts have routinely delivered sentences totalling thousands of lashes; at the beginning of a man all the rage Jeddah was whipped 4, times for sexual relations with his sister-in-law.
At the same time, it has become clear that at slight a sub-group of migrants — including members of the agree with generation — continue to argue political ties to their countryside of origin in a ample range of forms. Traditional after that radical Shariah advocates diverge all the rage their attitudes on morals after that family law. The aforementioned Al-Qaradawi and Badawi are notable examples of individuals, more ideologues than theologians, who produce television broadcasts, videotapes, and websites in which they answer questions from Muslims about Shariah issues. His intent was clearly to support wife-beating through an ameliorative form of editing. This is particularly accurate of migration that followed all the rage the wake of decolonisation after that labour migration to Western Europe in the s and s.

Al-Qaradawi is often alleged to be the religious mentor of the Muslim Brotherhood, a fundamentalist movement mainly active in Egypt although present in many Muslim countries. Schwartz has also published The Other Islam: Huntingtonfor instance, has argued that American foreign certificate has come to be disproportionately dominated by minority migrant interests. Traditional Shariah In the at the outset seven centuries of Islamic history, Shariah was treated as a universal legal standard, and wasgoed applied, to the extent achievable, to all aspects of animation. An example of a transnational political activity is participation all the rage homeland elections see Al-Ali et al. It includes believers all the rage both Sunni and Shia interpretations of Islam, and participants all the rage the spiritual tradition of Sufism. In Britain, the ideological environment for parallel Shariah agitation grew out of the British Asian Muslim community, drawn from the Indian subcontinent, and its jihadist component, mainly in the appearance of adherence to the fundamentalist and separatist Deobandi interpretation of Islam, which produced the Taliban in Afghanistan.

All the rage this paper, we focus arrange social control through informal sanctioning mechanisms such as gossip, beating of honor, social exclusion before ridicule. Lketinga zet zijn krabbeltje op het papier en zegt I don t know but I see you and Napirai again! Because the Ottoman affirm was the most powerful Muslim state in history, traditional Shariah came to be identified with such a diversity of act.
Accordingly, while the Arabs and Persians were conquered by the Muslims and adapted en masse en route for the power of a additional ruling religion, the Turks, Indians, and Indonesians were brought freely to Islam through preaching. All the rage addition, Al-Alwani proclaimed the advantage of Shariah over other areas of Islamic thought. For case, so-called honour murders, forced before arranged marriages, forced divorce between members of inappropriate tribes, after that female genital mutilation FGM are unknown among Bosnian Muslims, who are highly European, and FGM in particular is mainly imperfect to Arab and African countries, with the noteworthy exception of Kurdistan. Starting at the top executive level:
7.1 Vrouwen en Islam
Muslims are seldom at risk of violating their personal commitment all the rage these matters by participating all the rage Western society — one damaging example, however, is that of pork in food served en route for Muslim soldiers in non-Muslim armed forces or to Muslim inmates in prisons. But the assembly of a parallel Shariah could also open a space designed for the introduction of radical Shariah principles, since, in a Muslim-only legal structure, Muslim representatives of varying orientations could gain ability. Migration motives may have an economic or political basis — economic malaise and armed conflicts in the homeland, labour shortages and the political will en route for accept refugees in the acceptance country. Literalists condemn investment designed for earning of interest as awfully sinful, while pragmatists find behaviour to justify it as a feature of life in the West. Jurists like Lord Stamhoofd Justice, Baron Phillips, no a lesser amount of than his clerical counterpart, Archbishop Williams, should have listened en route for the many British Muslims who reject Shariah and other Islamist penetration into their community animation. While some non-Muslim commentators associate such a strategy with jihad and conquest, it, perhaps as expected, has no precedent in Islamic history. Regardless of whether such concerns are justified — they are often based on chaotic and patchy evidence, to about the least — there has been growing scholarly interest all the rage the political involvement of migrants.

I believe the reason for so much violence, anger, frustration, suicide, murder, corruption and deviance in the world is because most people have just not connected with what they are really supposed to be doing in life. They simply do not know their purpose.
One of my favourite quotes is… "The 2 most important days in your life is the day you were born and the day you find out why".
I am blessed with the opportunity to coach, train and mentor many people from all walks of life. I see this as a phenomenal blessing because it gives me an opportunity to help people answer this question. What is your WHY? I'm convinced that until a person can answer this question they'll roam around life aimlessly spending money, living recklessly, feeling dejected by the world and believing that life has handed them the worst cards in the pack.
Knowing your WHY stimulates, motivates, energises and inspires not just you but others. Knowing your why propels you to wake up every morning and see life through the eyes of optimism, even in the face of personal crisis, loss and failure.
Your WHY rewires you to be successful in life. I count myself successful, not due to the amount of money I have in the bank. I think you'll agree with me that we could always do with some more of that. But I feel extremely rich because I've found my reason for living. My true success comes from being able to see other peoples lives impacted by my story. It comes from the amount of people I can serve by helping them to explore their purpose and dreams and of course it also comes from the deep and meaningful relationships I'm able to build with others along the way.
The day I found out my WHY, life began to take on a whole different turn. It dictated my choices, relationships, value of my time. It determined what I put my effort into and the kind of activities I engage in. Life and the world around me, instantly became more purposeful. Does this mean that I live in a constant state of euphoria and never have problems? Of course it doesn't. But it does mean that knowing my purpose in life helps me to view difficult situations in a totally different light so I can better overcome the hard times.
I'm not a believer in chance. I believe everything, I mean everything that happens to us is for a specific purpose. Even if it's not our fault I still believe that there are lessons to be learned from every life circumstance. I believe you're reading this post for a reason. Either you haven't yet discovered your why. Or maybe you have but this post is just acting as reassurance that you're on the right track or maybe you want to refine your purpose a little more. Wherever you stand in life at this point.
My question to you today is… "What's Your WHY?" What is the thing that you wake up thinking about and go to bed thinking about? What drives you? What are you going to be doing differently in 2014 to make an impact on others?
Please let me know your thoughts on this subject. What's exciting and empowering you? I'd love to hear any further insights you have or your perspectives.
Have a great day!
