Holistic Houndô releasedô itsô full spectrumô CBGô oil for pets.
Cannabigerol (CBG) is one of over 100 phytocannabinoids in the hemp/cannabis plant and for decades has been known as the chemical parent or ãstem cellã of CBD and THC. CBG is considered one of the five major cannabinoids: cannabidiol (CBD), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabigerol (CBG), tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBN). ô CBG is found in young cannabis or hemp plants, and although there are some similarities to CBD, it is completely distinct in both chemical structure and concentration.ô
ãCBG is not ãthe new CBDã or a replacement for CBD, but rather an amazing complement to it,ã said Heidi Hill, certified homeopath and founder of Holistic Hound. ãAlthough there are some similarities with other cannabinoids, CBG has its own unique healing benefits and is an exciting new product option for pet parents looking for natural alternatives to improving the health, wellness and longevity of dogs and cats. Since 2015, we have been a leader of the CBD category in the pet industry, and itãs truly our privilege to continue pioneering product development."
"Weãre proud to be the first company to introduce CBG to the pet industry and look forward to continuing our work as a trusted, transparent and educational resource in this space, the pet industry, and among pet owners nationwide.ã
Early research suggests that CBG has powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, with strong affinities for the bladder, bowel and brain. It is also known to help with anxiety and depression, but it is unique in that it has a mildly energizing/uplifting effect compared to the usually calming/relaxing effects of CBD. This results in increased focus and clarity. It has greater potential for use during the day for dogs that experience grogginess with CBD.ô It is also believed to naturally increase dopamine levels which help regulate attention, learning and emotional responses. According to the company, research also points to CBG having greater anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties than other cannabinoids.ô ô
ãCBG has great synergy with CBD and can be very balancing,ã said Hill. ãWe believe they can be used together to address an even wider range of health concerns.ã
ãItãs not surprising that Holistic Hound is first to market with a CBG product for pets,ã said Brian Little, director, Supply Brands, Animal Supply Company. ãFor years, Holistic Hound has been known for their veterinarian-formulated, broad spectrum hemp and medicinal mushroom supplements with CBD that are third-party tested, made with organically grown hemp, and made in the USA. As a trusted company in the industry, we know theyãll continue to be at the forefront of this rapidly growing category in the pet channel. We look forward to partnering with Holistic Hound on launching its new CBG oil.ã

Tajine is one of the most iconic dishes of Moroccan cuisine. The kind of tajine presented here is a chicken tajine (djaj mqualli) with dried fruits.
But there are a multitude of tajines, like Algerian jelbana tajine with veal, peas, potatoes, artichokes and carrots.
Tagines in Morocco
There are really two main categories of tagines in Morocco. M'hammer and mqalli tajines.
In m'hammer tajines, the meat may be pre-cooked over the stove, but it is always eventually roasted in the oven with saman (clarified butter). In mqalli tajines, the meat is simmered on the stove with oil, and it is served with the sauce.
There are a number of meats that can go in a tajine. Beside chicken, a tagine can feature other types of poultry like squab or quail, as well as veal, lamb, fish, potatoes, or legumes like chickpeas or lentils.
The tajine vessel
The word tajine or tagine (الطاجين in Arabic) is not only the word for this North African dish but also for the earthenware pot in which the dish is actually cooked.
The iconic conical lid of the tagine is what helps to keep the steam that builds during the cooking inside the pot. As water is a precious resource in dry climate North Africa, the tagine allows for the dish to cook with minimal additional water, and mainly use the water contained in the ingredients, including the onions.
The earliest records about the concept of cooking in a tajine appear in 1001 Arabian Nights (Alf layla wa layla), the famous collection of Arabic folk tales from the 9th century. Tajine may have already been popular amongst the nomadic Bedouin people of the Arabian Peninsula before they migrated to the Maghreb. They added dried fruits including dates, apricots and plums to give tajine its unique sweet and savory taste.
Tagine pots were originally placed over the coals of a wood fire, allowing the dishes to gently cook for several hours. Nowadays, North African people often cook the dish in a Dutch oven on a stove and only present the tajine in the earthenware pot, in order to save time.
Contrary to popular belief, tajines are generally served with bread and not couscous.
A delicious feast indeed!
This recipe is validated by our Moroccan culinary expert Bouchra Lakouanane, author of Moroccan cuisine food blog Ma Fleur d'Oranger.
- 2 lb chicken , cut in pieces
- 2 large onions , grated
- 5 oz. pitted prunes
- 5 oz. dried apricots
- 1 cup whole almonds , blanched and peeled
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon saffron threads , diluted in 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- Vegetable oil
- Salt
In a large pot, on medium to high heat, add 3 tablespoons of oil, the onions, salt, pepper, diluted saffron, ginger, cinnamon stick and the chicken. Cook for 10 minutes uncovered.
Add 4 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook until chicken is tender and cooked all the way through, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Take the chicken out and put aside.
- In the same pot, add the prunes and apricots and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes, then add the orange blossom water and the honey. Reduce on low heat until you get a thick sauce.
- Add the chicken back to the pot.
- Deep fry the almonds in a bath of vegetable oil on medium heat until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Before serving, reheat the chicken and dress on a plate with the prunes and apricots. Add the sauce and the almonds on top.

Intergenerational Music Together

4-year-old Iggy enjoys Music Together with young and old classmates at the Thompson House
Hello, everybody! A certain favorite children's music classes are bringing it to the Thompson House in Rhinebeck for a weekly discounted series that will warm your heart and make it sing. Keeping with traditional Music Together form which intersperses call-and-response singing, movement, and jam sessions on simple wind and percussion instruments, the new class series adds an element. While the little kids play in a central circle with their caregivers, there's an outer circle of elderly glee. Kids smile as old women wave, and classmates of varying ages form bonds while shaking shakers and singing songs.
In 1987, Music Together, an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program, pioneered the concept of a research-based music curriculum for children from birth through age seven that emphasizes the involvement of the adults who love them. Classes are based on the idea that all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports it.
Building on the idea that music can connect generations, Catskill Mountain Music Together Director, Miranda Haydn, ran an Intergenerational Class for years at the Ivy Lodge, an assisted living facility for the elderly in Saugerties. "We had our regulars who really came to class first and foremost for the kids, but also for the music," Haydn recalls. It was a good experience for all, so Haydn was delighted when Allison Gould, Social Worker for the Center for Healthy Aging, asked if Haydn might offer an Intergenerational Class at The Thompson House, a Nursing & Custodial Care Center at Northern Dutchess Hospital. "Music is a perfect way to bridge the gap between generations because it's reaches beyond our daily limits to the core of our beings. Anyone in any phase of life can benefit from the pleasure of music and music-making," Haydn says.
"This is the cycle of life, and those at either end of the spectrum are inextricably connected," says Gould. "There's a natural wisdom in the eyes of a child, and there's a learned wisdom in the hearts of our elders. Yet somehow we've lost opportunities for connections between these kindred spirits. Intergenerational programs are making a difference in helping us find them again."
"Over my 25+ year career," says Sue Close, Manager of Public and Community Affairs at the Thompson House, "I've learned that music, children and pets can be the best medicine. To see our residents' faces light up, their smiles, and their toes tapping makes me extremely grateful to Miranda, the parents, and the children!"
It started last week and doesn't meet on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or President's Day, but the 8-class series has a few spots left.
Intergenerational Class at The Thompson House, 6525 Spring Brook Avenue, Rhinebeck: for children ages 0-7 and the adults who love them; Mondays 3:45 pm; $133.00 for the first child, $70.00 for the second. For more information or to enroll, contact Miranda Haydn, email@example.com, 845-657-2600. Or go to www.cmmusictogether.com and click the Registration button.

Adjustable pallet racking and cantilever installation in Hampshire
Design and installation of adjustable pallet racking and cantilever racking, in order to optimise materials flow and storage capacity at Stelling Properties' factory in Micheldever, Hampshire.
Client Background:
Stelling Properties Limited manufactures state-of-the-art, modular housing systems, which are primarily installed into properties, such as student accommodation units and hotels.

New warehouse storage systems for a modular housing developer
Stelling Properties Limited was in need of a fast and efficient solution following the acquisition of a new contract, in order to optimise their storage capacity and materials flow at their factory based in Micheldever, Hampshire. Our initial contact with the company began back in March, when Operations Manager, Charlotte Kennedy, whom SEC had previously worked with at another company, got in touch to discuss requirements for a new storage system.
Stelling Properties manufactures state-of-the-art, modular housing systems, which are primarily installed into properties such as student accommodation units and hotels. They manage everything in-house, from land acquisition to off-site manufacture, allowing them to be agile and responsive in everything that they do.
Their existing storage setup was based on a bulk stacking method, and although it was handled by a highly-experienced materials handling team, it was not conducive to their agile and responsive workflow. And so, a new storage solution was needed, and one that would have to be turned around as quickly as possible, due to Stelling Properties having a small window of opportunity to deliver the works during a production stop in between contracts.
Looking at your next project? Get in touch with our Warehouse Fit-Out Team today!
"SEC pulled the rabbit out of the hat when we needed a racking solution at very short notice. The standard of service and build has been great."
Chris Weston
Warehouse & Facilities Manager
A mixture of racking solutions helps to optimise materials flow
Following a site survey by Project Salesman, Damian Chudleigh-Smith, it was found that the best solution for our client would be a combination of racking systems, including adjustable pallet racking and cantilever racking in order to enhance storage capacity, moving away from the company's previous bulk storage setup.
The adjustable pallet racking is designed to hold various construction materials, including palletised sheet metals, plasterboards and more, whilst the new cantilever racking has been designed to store steel lengths. The positioning of the racking around the outer perimeter of the factory - and in close proximity to the production floor - makes it very easy for workers to pick the materials and transport them into the nearby manufacturing zones, ensuring our client continues to meet their 14-day construction turnover for each module.
Overall, the works have been well received by the client, and discussions continue between ourselves and Stelling Properties in regards to the further optimisation of the warehouse, which we look forward to developing.

O Allah bless our Master Muhammad and his family and companions and greet peace
Because of our ignorance of history and our 'ulama's ignorance of of history, certain events have come to assume mythic proportions. One of these is the event of Kerbala. The movement of this event-as-myth to the centre stage of Muslim discourse has resulted in a cynical view of Muslim power, and a defeatism that glorifies useless sacrifice. This myth serves a subordinate role in the global myth of the dominant technique/technology culture that bestrides the earth. It thus serves a very useful geo-political purpose for the power élite. In that culture of globalised warfare and total spectrum dominance, the technique of the creation of money from nothing is absolutely central. In ignorance of the power politics of the age, active Muslims are locked into a false struggle with local dictators. Primed with the myth of al-Husayn, they are pre-configured to seek defeat. Moreover, as their understanding of power is false, even when they win it is a defeat. As the core community of mankind, it behoves the Muslims rather to turn to the primordial historical model of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and his Companions, the people of Madina, both in the telling of his history and the transmission of his practice, the Sunnah. The transmitted practice alone, which is the Qur'anic revelation embodied, deals with the motor, the money nexus, that drives the global frenzy of the age. The sirah represents, contrary to the myth of Kerbala, a life-affirming and positive victory-oriented approach to life and to political power.

Part 1
Myth: 1 a: a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon…
In this apparently supremely rational age, it is quite extraordinary how myth sways the hearts and movements of millions. This is a simple matter when the myth has been made up – The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars spring to mind – even if still effective. But when the myth is based on a smattering or more of historical realities, its effectiveness can be deeply troubling, for this cross fertilisation of mythic narrative and history is most potent, and indeed daily moulds our geo-political and personal realities.
We have the myth of the 'crucifiction', as one writer wittily named it, many of whose elements are also to be found in the story of al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him. But here it is necessary to clarify that what we say about myth does not apply to the historical personages involved, even though the historical narrative and the myth are almost inextricably intertwined. Nevertheless, they must be separated for the safety of the individual and the society. There are so many factors leading us to global conflagration that it is vital we extinguish them, even if piecemeal, a step at a time, and myth is one of the issues that contributes most to that danger.
I would characterise the worst aspect of our age its suicidal tendency. A considered reflection on any number of themes, such as global warming or the geo-political situation which has many factors close to igniting the conflagration that we claim to fear, would serve to illustrate my thesis that there is a willed suicidal tendency at work. If at present that tendency amounts only to a flirtation, everyone knows how quickly flirtation turns to a full-blown love affair and even marriage. The union in this case would be the apocalyptic end of the current age in an all-out war, with the incalculable death and destruction that would entail.
And this one narrative is a thread in that fatalism.
Myth is ideology as narrative
Myth – a marriage of narrative and emotion
The ordinary stuff of knowledge is short on emotion. Knowledge and scholarship are slow, demanding and undramatic. History is a mass of details that don't always make a good story, as Hollywood knows all too well when it bends every historical narrative to spin a yarn. When you see the credits roll and they say ponderously, "This film is 'based' on a true story…" then you know for sure that they meant 'debased'. Similarly, with many myths that grow and assume the proportions of irrefutable truth, the story-like narrative has its own convincing emotional content that persuades us the story is true even though the facts may contradict it.
Yet nevertheless, emotion is a vital component of the human and where it is not evident, as in the glacially cool regions of mathematics, philosophy or science, you know that it is certainly working its mischief out of sight. I say 'mischief' because if emotion is not integrated into the being, its covert operation only causes trouble. Therefore, underneath the frosty and forbidding exterior of Darwin's work on evolution and its apparent rigour lurks the murky world of Darwin's emotional life, the actual driver of his research and its conclusions.
So, we do not wish to decry the emotions in favour of a cool and detached view of existence, but we certainly need to engage with historical narratives with some modicum of rational understanding to modify our primitive emotional responses.
Myth 2 a: a popular belief or tradition that has grown up around something or someone; especially: one embodying the ideals and institutions of a society or segment of society
The Christian Myth
The christian myth comes to us out of the clouds of a much disputed and almost lost history. Historians differ to the extent that some even consider it a genuine myth with no historical basis. The records are few and confusing, and more seriously they come to us via people who have a vested interest in purveying the narrative as we know it: the Roman Catholic Church, itself the conveyor of the secular Roman State model into the modern age. And the Protestant dispensation is similarly married to the state and thus has a similar motive for the crime of historical and theological distortion. But what is the connection between the christian myth and the state, and what vested interest has the state in purveying this myth?
What more satisfactory myth could any political order desire for potentially disruptive, idealistic young men than this? The supreme virtue for a young man is seen as his not interfering in the state although utterly opposed to it, and his then courting disaster and finally martyrdom at its hands, passively, and seeking no outcome whatsoever! Imagining that this process will effect some transfiguration of the human into the Divine! For, whereas Christian dogma asserts this as the unique qualifier of Jesus, peace be upon him and may he be honoured for never having uttered such twaddle and for his repeatedly insisting "Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him", nevertheless any statement about such a figure is always an assertion about the nature of man, every man. So christendom has deceived itself and the world with the prospect of man becoming Divine – and I do not like even to write such things down, and ask Allah's forgiveness for what is necessary to articulate, repellent though it is. Worse still, this, along with usury finance, is the motor of christendom's great list of crimes, including the long catalogue of crimes of the nation that claims a 'manifest destiny' which has amounted to little more than a trail of dead bodies and torture victims and the theft of many peoples' resources. So this claim to divinity looks somewhat tawdry now, Christendom, does it not?
And this motor has an inbuilt mechanism to deal with the natural idealism of youth. Every generation, contrary to the sick myth of original sin, comes to us shining with a light from beyond, if they reach maturity with even a fraction of their original purity unsullied, and sees the appalling nature of the 'state' and its brutal domination of the masses. And what does the myth require of them? Why, it demands that they taunt the state and bait it enough that it will turn on them and do what the myth demands: martyr them. Thus, its abominations continue, and their virtue is ensured in our memory, a virtue they do not deserve, unless getting killed is in itself something worthy.
Thus, the myth serves two purposes: the lure of man becoming divine is held out as the unique claim of christendom, and how many it has misled, and as a subsidiary myth the radicalised and idealistic youths, who could conceivably halt the monstrous progress of what is now a vast machine out of control, are persuaded to offer themselves up in useless sacrifice.
The reason for this, which we would characterise as spurious- or pseudo-myth, is the debasement of history. There is another sense in which we can talk of myth as something deep and enriching, something that is a dimension of history itself, that is a richness and is enriching. But the pseudo-myth is never thus; it is always a pestilential and dangerous affair. And it becomes so when it detaches itself from history. There are a number of reasons for that, foremost among which are the various reasons that disqualify most scholars from talking about or benefitting from history. Our 'ulama' and many scholars, including some historians, are largely not qualified to talk about history and even when they do, it amounts to nothing much better than telling funny, tragic, awful or edifying stories. But it is not history. Ibn Khaldun says:
"Untruth naturally afflicts historical information. There are various reasons that make this unavoidable. One of them is partisanship for opinions and schools. If the soul is impartial in receiving information, it devotes to that information the share of critical investigation the information deserves, and its truth or untruth thus becomes clear. However, if the soul is infected with partisanship for a particular opinion or sect, it accepts without a moment's hesitation the information that is agreeable to it. Prejudice and partisanship obscure the critical faculty and preclude critical investigation. The result is that falsehoods are accepted and transmitted."
The problem for us at this late juncture in history is that whereas we may be clear about this and that sect (although many of us will differ as to who are the sects, labelling each other in the process), what we are not clear about is the sect that most Muslims today belong to without realising it, or rather the syncretic amalgam of sects' doctrines and practices that make up our sense of being Muslims and indeed 'orthodox' Muslims today. It is from this perspective that we interpret our history without thinking for a moment that our judgement is skewed even before we start. The person who wants to discover his own blindness need only reflect that we clearly do not have the same Islam as the first generations. Then the question arises: what Islam do we have? This is not a counsel of despair and guilt, but a very necessary step to recovery of the deen. Truly, the man who knows he is blind and wants to see is in a better position than the man who has been blind from birth and does not even know that sight exists.
"Another reason making untruth unavoidable in historical information is reliance upon transmitters. Investigation of this subject belongs to (the theological discipline of) personality criticism."
Again, in our case this is exacerbated by the great mass of transmitted narratives and the uncritical acceptance of data simply because it has been cited by someone eminent somewhere. History books are replete with historians citing each other until like a great Chinese whisper, no one knows where it all began. Our Arabic sources are sometimes no better. Great great 'ulama' uncritically cite events and conversations simply because they make too good a story to miss, failing to analyse those events and reported words to see if they are feasible. This is most obvious to the modern reader when he finds 'history' books replete with magical events that make little sense and which contradict known geographical and physical possibilities. But, as Ibn Khaldun says with some exasperation, they have done so simply because of the names of the eminent people who cited these fabulous and fantastic events. That means, however, that those same historians are just as unreliable when they cite down-to-earth events that had and still have huge political ramifications, simply because they only apply the methodology of the reliability of the narrators. Thus, it behoves us when we read the work of 'authorities' to retain the use of our critical faculties and not swallow everything whole.
In the case of history, people often place great reliance on scholars who are excellent in other disciplines but who are utterly unreliable in transmitting historical data, because people assume that their excellence in other sciences necessarily equips them to transmit history accurately, which it does not.
But again, it would be a mistake to limit this to Muslim scholars, who actually do have a science of criticism of narrators, when it applies equally widely to Western historiography and even to the operation of the media today, but that is the subject for another time.
"Another reason making untruth unavoidable – and this one is more powerful than all the reasons previously mentioned – is ignorance of the nature of the various conditions arising in civilization."
I have previously written about presentism and this is something that afflicts almost all contemporary discourse on the past and pollutes most ages' discussions of other ages and other cultures. We understand past ages and other societies by applying our own values to them. If people do not understand another age and another society deeply in the way that that age and society understood itself, they will end up applying the wrong measures and judging by the wrong values. This is not relativism; we agree on the universal values of the Book and the Sunnah but we do have to understand how other ages saw those values, particularly the first generations of Islam who were closer to the revelation itself. Indeed, for us to apply our late understanding of the Book and the Sunnah to events that happened among the first generations would be a real inversion.
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is reported to have said:
"The best of my ummah are the generation who are near to me, then those who are nearest to them, then those who are nearest to them."1
This applies to the right-acting of those blessed generations as a whole and not just to a select few. So it behoves us to take some trouble to understand just what went on between them.
Al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him
Thus, we have to turn to an Islamic variant of this pernicious myth: that of al-Husayn. We affirm all that is narrated about the merits of the family of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and them and grant peace. It is not this we are talking about, but about the Hollywoodisation of his story, this narrative myth that long predates Hollywood, but which has worked and is working so much mischief in our historical understanding, in our geo-political landscape and in our private and personal lives.
First element: youth
Al-Husayn is perpetually young, the embodiment of the youth who rises against tyranny. Fact: he was 54 when he died, by no means an old man, but certainly no longer young.
Second element: Umayyad wickedness
The given of the story is the self-evident worldliness and corruption of the Umayyads, and in particular Yazid. Those whose piety is safe from all engagement with actual danger or struggle, content themselves with abusing someone about whom they know nothing from the distance of a millennium and a half, whom they insult and slander, as if slander and backbiting are not prohibited here too. As if historical detail did not matter here. As if a man sitting in Damascus 750 kilometres from the action could personally be responsible for each detail of the undoubted atrocity that happened. But we are already treading in the historical and forgetting that this is a myth, where facts and history no longer matter.
This is a myth whose substratum is the 'given' of Umayyad corruption, a corruption that is narrated to us by scholars of a dynasty that exterminated them in one of the most shameful moments of Muslim history. It comes from scholars of a dynasty with a guilty conscience.
In fact, the corruption of the Umayyads is by no means self-evident. But such historical considerations do not matter to those whose rhetorical abilities exceed their historical knowledge and intellectual capacities, and they matter not at all to those who enjoy telling a good tale more than the responsibility telling such tales incur.
So the myth itself here is an almost inevitable consequence of untested assumptions. Once the Bani Umayyah are cast as evil despots whereas the Bani Hashim are luminous beings of pure intelligence and piety, then the result is a forgone conclusion. 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz, may Allah be pleased with him, is cast as the exception that confirms the rule, the one almost accidental example of piety in the Umayyad dynasty, but we forget that the dynasty itself placed him in governance and concurred with what was the highly unusual decision of Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Malik to appoint him his successor. But such details don't bother the mythical mind. And the mythical dualistic mind sees the Bani Umayyah/Bani Hashim duality as an epic battle of good and evil from which battle, the myth of Kerbala is just a detail that proves the thesis.
Myth: …and typically involving supernatural beings or events.
Every such romantic/tragic myth must have a simple Manichaean duality: the impossibly good against the impossibly wicked, a duality that is in itself kufr in the literal sense of 'covering over' reality. We have used the term 'myth', and indeed most accounts of myth include the fact of it dealing with the doings of gods and other supernatural beings. The mythification of the story of al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him, has altered historical beings into supernatural entities of goodness and badness. It is no longer a tale of humans but of a metaphysical dualism. Reality, particularly human reality, is always a much more complex affair.
Thus, such simplistic tellings take no account of the fact that a kafir can actually be a rather nice man, and sometimes the mu'min may not be so nice. The world does not fit into the duality of 'nice/not-nice'. Niceness is not a measure of anything, certainly not history. But the danger of this Manichaeanist mechanism is that once it is invoked, it is almost always preceded by evocation of Haqq and Batil which when you hear it you know you are in for trouble. It guarantees a polarisation of events into black and white. Just as Haqq 'Truth' is quite correctly capitalised since it is one of the names of Allah, exalted is He, suspiciously, such people capitalise Batil 'falsehood' as well, showing that it has now crept up into a kind of 'equal and opposite' relationship with the Haqq. But taw??d, the unitary science of Divine knowledge, says that there is only One Author of existence, not two in perpetual unresolved conflict.
Rhetorically this dualism has a certain satisfying aspect to it for story-tellers, but one must always remember that people will undertake certain actions based on this rhetoric, and that while the rhetorician will share in the reward if the person impelled into action by his words does good, he will also share in the punishment if the person is impelled to do wrong. And there is a multiplier here since we are in the age of the masses in which media can move millions by one man's words. That would make any sane man hesitate a thousand years before unleashing his eloquent tongue unless he is simply in love with that power.
The worst aspect of the myth here exposed is that at the core it elevates and honours defeat and prepares people in advance for it. It honours the role of victim and prepares people in advance for it. How differently people behave when their goal is success. How much the discourse of the Noble Book and the Sunnah is predicated on success, both here in this life and in the later life after death. The martyr is the exception in this narrative of victory with his own victory. But martyrdom in itself is not the goal. A movement that has placed defeat as the very essence of its vision, whose analysis of history is that of the almost unstoppable wickedness of political power, which they see as invincible, has nothing but the unearned sense of virtue of the victim and the downtrodden; an easy virtue. This is the essence of shi'ism and paradoxically, for all the rhetoric out of Tehran, this is the essence of the perverted Judaism we have seen since that people were cut off from prophecy.
The Shaykh
And the exponent of this myth, this dangerous motor for the heroic and meaningless sacrifice of young people on the altar of sacrifice. Who is he? He may be of the east or the west, an Arab or non-Arab, convert or someone born into a Muslim family. He is an archetype. He is impeccably groomed and visibly every inch the public speaker. He is the product of a tradition that values the narration of data, preferably with some kind of license showing its transmission man-to-man over the ages. In this dispensation, the more data a man has, the more knowledge. How far from Malik's dictum that "Knowledge is a light which Allah places wherever He wills; it is not a great deal of narration." The rhetoric too is of the highest quality, whether in English, Urdu or Arabic, but it is tuned to stir the emotions, to rouse the takbir from the numerous dispirited modern Muslims and give them a taste of the electricity that rhetoric can generate, either for its own sake or as an engine that will drive them out to stand in front of the tanks and the troops to die. He may have been trained extensively in this rarefied art, and it is expected of him by his society that he will thrill them in this way. He is an entertainer. Even if knowledgeable, he is an 'infotainer'. The orator, of course, who lives far from the action and is in no danger from his emotion-stirring discourse, will not see the young lives snuffed out. But he is content with their adulation and their mistaking his rhetoric for action and d?n.
Just as nothing we said before should be interpreted as hostility to the House of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, similarly, what I am about to write should not be considered an endorsement of dictators.
Rhetoric has consequences. Armies sometimes had men with rhetorical gifts to deliver orations before the battle who would lift their spirits and which sent many of them to their deaths. Thus, it behoves the man of intellect with the gift of eloquence to consider precisely what purpose his rhetoric may serve, what army it will strengthen and to what death he is sending young men. If the purpose is democratic elections, if the 'army' is a demonstration on the street, marching Gandhiesque to suicidal 'martyrdoms', leaderless and without knowledge, then such a rhetorician ought to pause. He ought perhaps, before sending them out to fight, to use his considerable skills to equip those young men with the knowledge necessary to see the failings in democracy and to equip them for the correct forms of leadership and governance and to establish the d?n and all its mores, which is obligatory on them and us.
That does not mean that anyone has to acquiesce passively in a tyrannical dictatorship or open kufr. It does mean that we need an emergency kit knowledge of the d?n which is what has to be implemented, now and once victory is achieved. We need some grasp of history since it has become one of the major battlefields of the age in which we live. It is a cliché, but a valuable one, that those who do not learn the lessons of history are condemned to repeat them. We have learnt the dangers of relying exclusively on knowledge that is 'narrated', which is void of training in the use of the intellect and the faculties of discrimination and understanding. If we can take on some of that, we might be well placed to recover some vital aspect of the d?n for the benefit of mankind. What use is a revolution that merely changes the locks on the prison cells? And it means that we need to beware a thousand times of suicidal tendencies and cultivating the psychology of the victim and we need to cultivate the urge to victory and the knowledge necessary for it.
Part 2
Myth in the Age of Technique
In order to grasp the nature of myth in our current age, we must take account of the advent of a new reality in the way of transacting-in-the-world which now dominates, informs, subordinates and mediates all others: the way of technique/technology. The essential import of this development is that all human engagement with lived experience is exposed to the 'levelling' and 'standardisation' which is 'revealed' through the indifferent and irresistible 'pull' of technique into the systems of rationality and efficiency which govern its own inherent logic.
The effect of technique can be seen in the engineering of mythic status for the shibboleths of 'democracy' and the 'free market'. In practice democracy reveals itself to us, the masses, as an encounter with the way of technique whereby the untidy human complexities involved in the expression of political will, conflict and responsibility are reduced to the organised distribution, casting and counting of symbolic ballots. Although the system is imposed on them, the masses have all been methodically preconditioned to clamour for it as an entitlement.2 It is (technically) the will of the people.
Democracy and the 'Free' Market
Just as with the split between history and myth, people are deceived by the outward appearances and rhetoric of democracy and so-called free-market capitalism and fail to see the nature of the beast. In spite of democracy's roots in Greek culture, the Greeks would recognise nothing that we call democracy today. For the Greeks, democracy was conceived of as the right of a free man to be heard and to exercise some measure of control and authority over his society. He thought that he had a voice; we have a vote. Modern man is reduced to being a faceless integer, allowed merely to cast a single vote for a representative, who is promptly bought up by banks and corporations. We have a highly visible example in the career of an erstwhile prime minister of the UK whose role in politics was merely a single rung on the ladder he was climbing. Politicians, when out of office, move seamlessly into corporate posts for the banks they were working for all along.
So we are bamboozled by the rhetoric into failing to see that we have nothing that can really be called democracy. In reality, the Greeks knew that democracy – people power – always concealed oligarchy – rule by the few. Remarkably the inevitable outcome of democracy has always been that in the end the masses clamour for a dictator to cancel the un-payable debts.
The Technique of Money Creation
Today the mathematical technique of money creation from nothing is at work. And thus an élite have risen from nowhere, people who are the dregs of humanity with little humanity in them, and only the urge to acquire ever more of those ephemeral numbers, which in their case and with indecent haste they turn into solid facts as soon as they can: castles, estates, land, commodities including oil and food, and tangible assets, thus inflating the prices of most things for the rest of us.
Whereas healthy trade can be understood by its simplest component, "mutually agreed trade" (S?rat an-Nis?' 4: 29) which is really mutually pleasing and satisfactory trade, modern money creation, currently a hotly disputed issue, can be similarly understood by its simplest component upon which the entire edifice of usury finance rests: the fact that a deposit once made can then be lent against by the invention from nothing of new money – fiat money – and interest charged for that. This is seen most transparently in the original loan made by the then newly formed Bank of England in 1694 to William of Orange. This is from the Bank of England website:
William Paterson proposed a loan of £1,200,000 to the Government. In return the subscribers would be incorporated as the Governor and Company of the Bank of England.
The Royal Charter
The money was raised in a few weeks and the Royal Charter was sealed on 27th July 1694. (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/about/history/index.htm)
The terms of the loan are interesting and indeed crucial to our understanding: they lent the money to William at 6% interest, or rather they lent it to the nation as the first national debt3 in the world, the nation being saddled with a debt which they would continue to service without repaying. AND, at the same time the Bank was entitled to issue the exact same sum of money in paper money and lend it at 6% interest to the general populace. This money was the first significant paper money of the modern era, discounting the earlier Swedish venture which was a simple war-time expedient or the much earlier Chinese version in mediaeval times. Thus, the debt owed by the government was counted as an asset which could be lent out a second time. Much convoluted reasoning goes to justify this step, but on it the entire edifice of banking in our time is raised. The same money was lent twice!
Similarly when someone makes a deposit in a bank, that bank counts the deposit as an asset and lends out other money which it creates out of nothing. Thus it both keeps the deposit and lends out other money it invents because of it at the same time. Fractional Reserve Banking results n the person who borrows that second money as often as not transacting with it in such a way that he or the next person in the chain then deposits it in another bank where it is both retained as a deposit and also serves as the basis for another loan. And so on. Ad infinitum.
At each step, the 'reserve requirement' is supposed to be respected, i.e. that the bank itself either keeps, or deposits in the central bank, some fraction of the sum, just in case. The Wikipedia article4 on Fractional Reserve Banking illustrates this with a case involving 20% reserve, and shows that on that basis an original $100 can be amplified by the banking system to become $500 in all. However, much more revealingly in the article on Reserve Requirements it says "As of 2006 the required reserve ratio in the United States was 10% on transaction deposits and zero on time deposits and all other deposits." It also notes that "The effect is exponential, because money that is loaned out can be re-deposited; a portion of that money may again be re-loaned, and so on." And even more devastatingly about the UK, "The Bank of England holds to a voluntary reserve ratio system, with no minimum reserve requirement set. In theory this means that banks could retain zero reserves, effectively allowing an infinite amount of credit money creation. However, the average cash reserve ratio across the entire United Kingdom banking system is higher, with a 3.1% average as of 1998."
That is the meaning of the earlier mention of 'exponential'; the smaller the reserve requirement the vaster the amplification of the fresh money created out of nothing by the system, until when there is no reserve requirement, the result is "effectively allowing an infinite amount of credit money creation". Infinite.
But we could be tricked, as modern critics of banking are, into getting into the nuts and bolts and arguing about the degree and extent of money creation as if it were merely a matter of degree, whereas everything lies in that first step in which something deposited is retained as an asset and then fresh money is invented and lent out at interest. This simple step is the fulcrum around which the machinery of banking revolves. Take it away and the banks collapse. It is the simple license for them to invent money from nothing and lend it to us, and by it, this 'sect', as Proudhon called them, have risen from utter obscurity to depose the world's monarchs and aristocrats, setting in place a machine, the media, to make sure that their story alone is heard, and a political class to run things on their behalf and tax the people in order to service the interest on the debt. And this sect now have a pliant military that imposes their model of the democracy of an indebted and thus enslaved integers-citizenry all around the world with a ruthlessness which Stalin would have envied, in spite of the fact that it is inconceivable to an orderly and logical mind that 'imposition' and 'democracy' could be united in a single sentence.
And this exponential multiplication of money has naturally a converse which is: exponentially increasing inflation and debts that have reached their breaking point in the impoverishment of countless millions around the world, resulting in their taking to the streets from New York to London, Athens, Cairo and Damascus. But, whereas people in the US and Europe have few delusions about what they are fighting for, the Arabs have successfully been persuaded that it is a political fight against tyranny on behalf of democracy, and purveyors of the myth of al-Husayn have walked straight into this scenario unwittingly. They have made an 'Islamic' myth of dubious merit subservient to the dominant myth of the age which itself is merely the mask for a quite concrete theft of resources and subjugation of peoples to exponentially increasing debt. There is clear evidence that with the political movement they are merely unwittingly serving the wider ambitions of global power élites who, through their various bodies to further 'democracy' throughout the world, channel funds and training to forces in the Muslim world and elsewhere, perhaps with no other aim than creating instability.
The End of the Game
And so we have reached the end of the game. All the old-fashioned socialists have fallen before the irresistible sway of usury capitalism. The old dialectic of east-west, left-right simply does not work any more and people are left without any choice, except that the Occupy Wall Street movement around the world has woken with an almost entirely inarticulate resolve not to succumb. At this moment, things hang in the balance. If we are not merely to be left suspended at the end of history as tiny Davids against the mighty Goliath, then we must retrace our steps in history.
We have seen that pernicious myths have their basis in an emotion-rich religious telling contrary to a drier factual history. For Christianity this was to shape its culture as an ahistorical one based on legend and superstition until at the time of the Renaissance the gap could no longer be concealed and the modern 'enlightenment' began, rejecting in its fury not only the Church which had lied so much, but God Himself.
The Sirah of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace
However, something unique had already happened but had been hidden from the people first by the Church and then later the Bank: the last prophet of Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, alone among all the prophets and messengers of Allah was born in the full light of history. His singular mark is that rather than disciples he had companions. His every doing and saying was impressed vividly on their memories and transmitted by them to the following generation and they have come down to us in such a fashion that we can have no doubt as to their authenticity. Often multiple reports of the same event which could not possibly have been colluded upon, the very discrepancies in which show beyond doubt that they have not been fabricated, for only criminals have their alibis absolutely pat. None of the fabulous and superstitious elements of rabbinical Judaism or Biblical Christianity, except for a few peripheral narrations of doubtful authenticity, which is only to be expected wherever human transmission occurs, and which were long ago identified and weeded out.
The 'Amal/Practice
At the core there is something even more stunning: a body of practice which was taken on entirely by the people of his city, Madinah. That practice, the 'amal of the people of Madinah, straddles acts of worship such as the regular salat performed five times a day, and the zakat charitable tax taken from the wealthy by the leader and his trained and authorised collectors, taken in gold, silver, crops and livestock and given to the eight categories eligible to receive it, pre-eminently the needy and the bereft. That practice also extends into monitoring the market and purifying it from usury, engrossing, forestalling, undercutting, price-fixing and other evils, and making available to the people currencies that cannot be manipulated by the ruthless, always one of the core duties of rule. It is impossible on such a basis to erect constitutional democracy or the banking that it conceals, even 'Islamic' banking, the deadly Trojan Horse inside the Muslim community today.
The biography of the Messenger himself, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, although devoid of superstitious elements and fully acknowledging his human-ness, yet amply reflects the word of his companion, the poet Hassan ibn Thabit, who said:
Muhammad is a human being but not like other human beings.
Rather he is a flawless diamond and mankind are like stones.
Its essence is that it is the clear historic record of the last prophet in which in every single utterance and event, no matter how apparently trivial, there is clear evidence of a momentous life illuminated by direct light from the Divine at every instant. Thus, it has the primordial nature of myth while being deeply rooted in authenticated historical narrative, and the Muslims have constantly drawn upon it from the moment of its appearance to the present day, whether in their family lives, the mosque, the market or in statecraft. It is the model for individuals and societies to live in this world with all our human fallibilities and failings and yet do so in the presence of Allah. A statement about such a one is an implicit statement about everyone. That Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, could live his life in the home, mosque, marketplace and battlefield, knowing his Lord, undistracted by the affairs of life while yet fully engaged in them, means that this is the potential of human beings who submit to their Lord through the lived example of Muhammad and his companions. Wherever and whenever access to this possibility is cut off, the doors to technique, pseudo-democracy and usury finance are thrown open and the degradation of humanity, for Muslims and everyone else alike, is the inevitable result. But when genuine Islam appears as a lived reality, nothing inimical to natural wellbeing can withstand it. It is this central primordial telling of the life of Muhammad, peace be upon him, which is the universal resource for which the Muslims remain answerable and of which they are the custodians. In his practice and that of the inhabitants of his illuminated city are to be found, accessible and uncompromised, the instruments which reveal both the figments and the essential truths inherent in every enduring myth – time and again they have shattered the sway of misguidance and oppression, and they will prove once again to be the nemesis of illusion in this, the age of technique.
1 Sahih Muslim. This hadith is widely transmitted in different wordings by many different routes.
2 For all of these themes read Michael Hudson's masterly exposition in "Democracy and Debt".
3 For the significance of 'national debt', again see Michael Hudson's article.
4 I have cited Wikipedia as it is simply the most conservative possible statement I have ever heard of this aspect of money creation and probably reflects the fact that Wikipedia items of critical importance to vested interests are watched vigilantly lest inconvenient matters get into them.

When will Kim Young Gwon leave the CSL
anyone has any updates on the injuries?
Let's hope this winter! Wouldn't even mind the K League if he can't find an European club. Just away from that shite league.
Not to worry it's only a friendly and Bento should learn from this to improve the team.
i sincerely hope bento does not make the mistake of retaining nam taehee in the squad for the asian cup. he has zero business making the team over other deserving players. lee geunho in particular deserves a proper sendoff. 5 starts as an attacking midfielder with zero experimentation in other positions suggests that bento could be valuing nam taehees ability to receive the ball in the centre of the pitch in between opposing players. while its unfortunate that not many other players in the squad offer this particular skillset bento has to realize after 5 matches nam taehee provides absolutely nothing else
Luongo was also disappointing imo, as so was Milligan and Mooy. Mabil, Rogic, and Behich were very threatening.
이영표 "김민재는 앞으로 10년동안 한국축구를 책임질 인재다"
Considering, this is our B-team, no one should be disappointed other than the fact that Koo is no longer capable of playing for the national team, and Kim Seung-gyu is still a terrible keeper to be playing over Cho Hyun-woo. The Aussie's were threatening for the first 20 minutes in the first half, but they fell apart as Hwang Eui-jo broke through their defense from a beautiful pass by Kim Min-jae, thus trailing for the rest of the match, and it was their strongest side as well. it was also quite a scene to see Graham Arnold desperately looking like a sweaty priest in a children's playground until the equalizer.
Aside from the the lucky equalizer when the clock hit the mark, our defense did make a lot of saves albeit the minor shakiness, all in all it was as I've expected, nothing too extravagant nor did we look underwhelming, we were fine and the errors we've made should be worked on, but the rebuilding of the team by Bento is clearly evident, so that is a plus.
I also want to mention the fact that Suk won us a lot of the ball, majority from fouls committed on him by the Aussies, as well as he's been drawing out defenders, help defend as well as trying to create necessary space, something of which Kim Shin-wook failed to do, especially against a very lackluster Swedeish side at the WC.
reminds me a bit of fector
I don't think it matters what KSG knew.
KSG's save from No24 counts as a rebound, and there's no offside for that.
I'll just leave it at that. We're not going to agree. You stretch things more than I can agree with.
Hoping and praying for a healthy career for this guy. He's our future indeed.
ugh - can't find any extended highlights but:
that was piss fckin poor from ksg. didn't even have to reach for it, not too much pace, and it rolls into his hands and off his chest. abs rookie mistake
i hope bento learns quick. There's no need for to experiment any longer w our gks
lol dat timing
they were slow in their upload today...lol
Yup yup. Hoping for 2-3 world cups out of him. Kmj is a stud
Did anyone miss Jang Hyun soo?
During his tenure as Portugal NT's manager, Bento got critizised for not giving other players a chance and stick to his favorites (M.Veloso, R.Meireles, etc). Let's hope it's just a temporary thing..
Good set piece deliveries in this game. With a bit of fine tuning, this could be useful in serious games.
HIB and JSJ did some nice freekicks. Better than what SHM and JWY did in the last games tbh.
Some random marks (+/-) :
Kim Min-Jae : +++
Hwang In-Beom : ++
Hwang Eui-Jo : ++
Kim Young-Kwon : +
Suk Hyun-Jun : +
Nam Tae-hee : - - -
Lee Yong : - -
Moon Sun-Min : - -
Hong Chul : - -
Koo Ja-Cheol : -
Kim Seung-Gyu : -
Looking forward for couple of the KNT guys to make the move to better clubs this winter. Cho Hyun Woo, Hwang Ui Jo, Hwang In Beom, Kim Min Jae, Kim Young Gwon.
yeup, n i'm a NTH fanboy...going forward at best he should be plan B along with KJC MSM
To be honest, I wasn't impressed with SHJ. in France his performance would be described as "moyen".
A striker can't do much if he doesn't receive a pass. He ran a lot, won duels, had some good positionings, etc. With better players he would've looked better. He is lacking confidence as he isn't playing regularly at Reims and always gets compared to HUJ who is in a terrific form. He's still by miles better than KSW.
he's not in match fitness

Convert an old striped T-shirt into a modern bolero jacket.
First, measuring the length of your jacket. Mark the t-shirt near the waistline, you will be adding a peplum approx. 1.5 inches later.
Align the shoulder seams, side seams and neckline edge, creating a center front fold line.
Cut along fold upward through the neckline.
From the lower portion of the t-shirt, trim approximately 2 inches all across the bottom ( including the original hem).
This will become the peplum on the bottom of the jacket.
Trim off the side seam of the center panel, align the two layers, matching stripes.
Measure your jacket body length and + 1″ for seams (1/2″ seam for top and bottom of front panel).
This will be the length, for the width allow 5″ mark with chalk and trim
(ex. my jacket body length is 9″ so I am cutting a 10″ L x 5″ W rectangle).
With right sides facing each other pin the peplum to jacket body all around the hem and trim the excess.
Using tailors chalk, mark a stitching line starting from side seam, below the tshirt original hem (where ruler grid overlaps overlocked stitching on T-shirt hem) to the center of jacket front, 1/4 inch above raw edge.
If you are using a standard machine, reducing the pressure on the presser foot will allow for easier sewing. Use a zigzag stick or stretch stitch setting if available.
Sew the peplum onto the jacket body following the chalk line.
On the back continue straight across so that the finished peplum will be approximately .5″ length in the back.
Press, trim seam and topstitch.
Oops, didn't photograph this step; so I created a simple diagram using Illustrator.
Pin the interfaced edge of front panel to front edge of jacket. Overlaping 1/2″ on top and 1/2″ over jacket lower seam. Stitch from top to red dot (stopping at lower jacket seam).
Press open seam, pressing allowance towards front panel/away from jacket body.
Roll front edge of peplum inward .5″ hand stitch.
Fold front panel at center line. Stitch .5″ seam at the top and bottom of center panel.
Grade seams on front panel at corner and seam allowance to reduce thickness.
Turn center panel right side out.
Hand-stitch inside of front panel and voilà you are finished!

Man famous for gyrocopter stunt eyes congressional seat
WASHINGTON - A man who pleaded guilty to landing a gyrocopter on a lawn outside the U.S. Capitol as a political protest says he now wants to land a spot inside the building, as a member of Congress.
Douglas Hughes of Ruskin, Fla., said he will run against a South Florida Democrat, but declined to say whom.
Hughes' intention to run came to light Wednesday when his attorney asked a judge to lift some of the restrictions on his freedom so he can work to get elected.
Hughes is to be sentenced April 13. Prosecutors have agreed not to ask for more than 10 months in prison as part of the plea deal. His lawyers say they'll ask for probation, and say his guilty plea in the case won't disqualify him from seeking office.

As agricultural recruitment specialists, we at Merston Peters help employers to identify gaps in their business. Through a series of rational objectives, we work with our clients to create a description of the ideal person for the post and match potential candidates in terms of qualifications, experience and all-round suitability. We're not your usual recruitment consultants – we'll attend interviews to ensure consistency and, for candidates, we will not correct spelling mistakes on your CV (that's your job – we won't hide who you really are!)
For candidates, we share the benefit of our experience in terms of advice – above all, we recommend staying positive to ensure that the employer wants you; choice is power, differentiation is key and coming second is worth nothing. Below are a few tips for an effective interview:
Research the company
The first thing we'd recommend is gathering some background information on your new employer. Having secured your interview, you will have impressed our client already on paper – however, you now need to impress in person.
The most obvious thing to do is to Google the business and look up both the company and key people within that business on LinkedIn. News articles and PR pieces will also give you good information on current products/services and actions that the company want their customers/colleagues, suppliers and their competition to know.
Knowing as much as you can will help you to answer questions, during the interview, such as "what do you know about our company?", or even "why do you want to work here?" Review the company's website and even ask the company to send you some literature that you can review.
Finally, digest the latest Farmers Weekly and other industry publications to ensure that you're up with the latest news stories affecting the industry; it would be great to have some ad lib comments to make if the interview calls for it – always remembering that the employer may already know some, or all, of what you're discussing and so try not to exaggerate or enhance a story and understand your subject matter.
Research the interview itself
If you can, find out from the company what type of interview you will be given:
Unstructured interview;
Competency-based interview (also known as structured or behavioural interview);
Find out whether your interview will be one-to-one, or whether there will be a panel and the names of your interviewers if possible;
One final thing to check before your interview is the dress requirement. As an example, you may be invited to take a tour of the site; it may be worth sticking wellies in the boot of your car if this is a possibility.
Prepare yourself
Whatever type of interview you are attending, there is a certain amount of preparation that you can do in advance in terms of questions that you're likely to be asked. For example, most interviewers will ask you questions to ease you in such as "Tell me about yourself" or "Give me a brief overview of your CV". For opening questions such as these we'd advise having a short, succinct and strong answer – ideally you'd begin with: "I'm an Agronomist with 20 years' experience in the agricultural sector…" Beginning with a positive statement that includes the job title that you're applying for (or similar), and your level of experience will give a good impression. You can then summarise your career chronologically and end with outside hobbies etc., to demonstrate other personality traits such as leadership, creativity etc., especially those traits that match the job you're applying for.
With unstructured interviews, you are likely to be asked questions such as "Where do you see yourself in five years" or "How would your friends describe you". The first question will give you an opportunity to talk about aims and goals and to relate these to training and development that the company may offer – our advice would be to match your answer with elements that you know the company or position includes.
Consider questions that you may be asked during an interview; questions about the reasons for leaving your last post may be asked. Consider answers that are as positive as possible; even if you left your last position under a cloud, work on providing answers that are positive, rather than negative and critical.
If you are being interviewed by a panel of people, it is important to direct your answer to the person asking the question; although it's also important to engage with the panel as a whole.
Another key thing to prepare is a short list of questions to ask your new employer at the end of the interview; you'll almost certainly be given the opportunity to find out more about the post or the business, so have one or two of these up your sleeve as it's your chance to appear interested and engaged.
With structured or competency-based interviews, the employer will be asking questions that give them indicators as to your suitability for the job role, by analysing individual skills. In order to make competency-based interviews a little less daunting, it's worth considering the STAR technique when answering:
the Situation
the Task needed as a result
the Action you took
the Result of that action
Questions will involve you giving examples of situations where you have demonstrated specific skills, for example:
Personal: looking at attributes such as decisiveness, independence, risk-taking and integrity – a typical question could be "Tell me about a time when an plan that you made was challenged"
Leadership: looking at your ability to manage other people – attributes such as empowerment, strategic thinking, project management and control. A typical question could be "Tell me about a group activity that you lead and how you judged its success"
Analytical: looking at your ability to make decisions, at your innovation, problem-solving and attention to detail. A typical question could be "Tell me about a time that you identified a new approach a problem"
Teamwork: looking at your ability to work as a member of a team, and to work collaboratively. A typical question could be "Tell me about a situation where you put a team of people together for a task"
Motivation: looking at the things that drive you – resilience, results-focus, quality, initiative. A typical question may be "Tell me when you believe you worked the hardest to achieve the best result"
and finally…
… one of the the most important things about an interview is timing – being late really does start the interview off on the wrong foot so, as well as researching the company, the people and possible interview questions, it's a great idea to research the location, parking and a local coffee shop; arriving half an hour early and allowing time for coffee before your interview means that you'll arrive refreshed and ready for action. As many agricultural offices are based in rural locations, it's even more important to do a trial run or ensure that you know how to reach them in plenty of time for your interview; relying on your sat nav or mobile network would be a mistake in this situation as coverage in the countryside does sometimes leave a lot to be desired.
For any other questions, or for help with finding your perfect position in agriculture, please get in touch.

Full details on membership options can be found on our Membership Levels page. STEP 2 – CREATE A MEMBER PROFILE Firstly, create your personal profile. Select 'Change Profile Photo'. Your Profile Photo will be used on your profile and throughout the site. If there is a Gravatar associated with your account email we will use that, or you can upload an image from your computer. Select 'Change Cover Image'. Your Cover Image will be used to customise the header of your profile. For better results, make sure to upload an image that is larger than 1400px wide, and 440px tall. STEP 3 – VISIT THE DIRECTORY PAGE Navigate to the Directory page by selecting 'Directory' in the Main Menu. Before creating your Listing, search the Directory to see if it already exists. Sometimes we add listings to populate the Global Directory and benefit our Community Members. When this happens, we will email you to let you know that we have temporarily listed your business or organisation. If your business is already listed, select 'Claim Listing' in the Directory sidebar. Once you have claimed your listing, you may update your listing whenever you wish and also create a group or list events. Please note, all 'Claim Listing' submissions are carefully reviewed before being approved. STEP 4 – SELECT DIRECTORY SECTION You can either list your business as a 'Place' or 'Service'. Please choose the most appropriate section for your needs. If your business is a Zero Waste Store, for example, then you should select 'Add Place' under the Add Listing menu on the Directory sidebar. Environmental consultants, anti-single-use plastic organisations, recycling services and the like should select 'Add Service' under the Add Listing menu on the Directory sidebar. Please note, if you are not already registered as a Business Member, then you will not be able to access the 'Add Place' or 'Add Service' pages. STEP 5 – ENTER LISTING DETAILS You can now enter the details for your new listing. Please only check the 'Mark listing as claimed' box if you are the business owner. 'Place/Service Title' – please use the following format that includes the name of your area after your business name: 'Nature's Intention | Bromsgrove'. This will prevent confusion and allow potential customers to instantly identify their closest store/service. 'Place/Service Description' – please enter a summary of your business place and/or services, followed by your address and opening times (where relevant) and website address. 'Tags' – please include your business name, area, country and listing category in your 'Tags' section. 'Category' – please select the relevant 'Category' for your business.

Once you have entered your full business address, click on 'Set Address On Map'. This will automatically complete the 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' boxes (shown beneath the map). Please double-check your Street 'Address' after clicking 'Set Address On Map' as this sometimes changes your entry. You may select from the Default, Satellite, Hybrid or Terrain Map; please select the most approriate for your customers to find you. STEP 7 – ADD PHOTOS TO LISTING You can now add up to five photos that best represent your business. Please don't upload photos that are larger than 4MB each, as this may slow down the website. Once uploaded, photos can be rearranged by dragging and dropping into your preferred sequence. The first (top left) photo in your album is the one that will appear in the Directory search pages. STEP 8 – PREVIEW YOUR LISTING You can preview your listing by selecting 'Preview Listing' at the bottom of the page. The preview page will open up in a new tab. We will also check listing submissions for errors and irregularities before publishing. Obvious errors will be fixed but we will contact you for clarification if we need further information on something that doesn't seem right. STEP 9 – SUBMIT YOUR LISTING Please click on the 'Submit Listing' button when you are ready to submit your listing. We will notify you by email when your listing has been published. You are free to edit or update your listing as soon as it has been published, and for as long as you remain a Business Member. STEP 10 – SHARE YOUR LISTING Don't forget to let your friends, family, customers and business acquaintances know when your Directory listing is published. All members of the Anti-Plastic People community are able to leave a review, and this will help potential customers decide on whether to visit your store or use your services.

Juventus weigh up defensive targets as De Ligt talks continue
Juventus have begun drawing up a shortlist of defensive targets as their hopes of signing Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt begin to fade.
As revealed by Goal in October, the Bianconeri have entered the race to sign Manchester City and Barcelona target De Ligt, with talks between the Serie A champions and agent Mino Raiola ongoing.
It is now understood, however, that Juve fear being priced out of a deal for the Netherlands international, with the 19-year-old likely to cost in excess of €50 million (£43m/$57m).
Editors' Picks
- 'Atalanta can help Bergamo start again' - Champions League offers hope after coronavirus horror story
- 'He's screwed now!' - New Juventus boss Pirlo lucky he doesn't 'give a toss' about pressure
- Celebrate the return of the UEFA Champions League by joining the world's biggest digital wave!
- Champions League Power Rankings: Who will take Liverpool's crown in Lisbon?
They remain keen on bolstering at centre-back, however, with current first-choice partnership Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci the wrong side of 30.
Juve do currently have plenty of back-up options, but with veteran Andrea Barzagli set to leave at the end of the campaign and both Medhi Benatia and Daniele Rugani keen to speak to the club about their lack of first-team opportunities, the hierarchy in Turin are keen to secure some young talent to provide competition at the heart of the Massimiliano Allegri's defence.
One option is believed to be Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic, with the Serbia international having impressed for La Viola so far this season.
This is not the first time Juve have considered signing the 21-year-old as Milenkovic's name was brought up during their negotiations over Marko Pjaca's move to Florence over the summer.
The former Partizan Belgrade man has not missed a minute for Stefano Pioli's side so far this season, contributing two goals as well as putting in a series of impressive defensive displays.
Juve are also monitoring the progress of Sampdoria's Joachim Andersen, though they are likely to face competition from Serie A rivals Inter should they make their move, while reports claim Arsenal and Tottenham also hold an interest.
The 22-year-old Dane only broke into Sampdoria's first team during the final weeks of last season but has started every game for the Genoa-based outfit this time around.
The third name on the Juventus shortlist is that of Toulouse teenager Jean-Clair Todibo, who has been earning rave reviews in Ligue 1.
The 18-year-old is likely to be a man in demand, however, with his current contract set to run out this summer.
A host of top European clubs have already spoken to the player's representatives regarding a potential free transfer, with Todibo himself yet to make a call on his future.

Introduction: Leveling a Greenhouse
Showing a way to have a level greenhouse on unlevel ground. We made raised beds which match the unlevel ground on the bottom, but are level on the top. We used a metal pole & 'tent' style greenhouse, but it should work for a wood frame and windows style greenhouse as well.
Step 1:
The metal frame pipes are well secured to the raised bed posts.
Step 2:
Propping the greenhouse up on raised beds can be a good idea, even if you have level ground.

Greenhouse This is amazing and you have packed so much into it.The raised beds are a great idea.What kind of plastic did you cover it with please.?
How do you get things polinated? I know plants like squash and cumcumbers need to be polinated before they will set fruit.
