"...We Do Not Desire the Ignorants." (Holy Quran 28:55)
Published in May 7, 2010
Translated by: Ahmed Fathy
Since we began in 1977 to tread on the bumpy road and thorny route of reforming Muslims (i.e., Muhammadans) using the Quran only (i.e., Quranism), many people never cease to level accusations at us, verbally abuse us, and hurl an avalanche of repeated questions at us. If we were to answer each question, we would have no time to write, sleep, or get some rest. The only cure faith-wise is the Quran; this is the only and sole criterion to judge and measure what we do and think as a writer/thinker seeking reform on all levels and within how we deal with all people. We tackle in this article this type of people described as the ignorant and those who adhere to idle talk and distracting tales, and God in the Quran commands us to avoid them, stay away from them, and never to respond to them: "And when they hear vain talk, they avoid it, and say, "We have our deeds, and you have your deeds; peace be upon you; we do not desire the ignorant."" (28:55); "Those who avoid idle talk." (23:3); "The servants of the Merciful are those who walk the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, "Peace."" (25:63). This entails some explanation below.
The term ''ignorance'' in the Quran means polytheism and disbelief:
As per Quranic terminology, we notice that the term ''ignorance'' and its derivations describe polytheists who worship, sanctify, and deify mortals and items/things. This is typical of the Qorayish tribesmen, whose affluent leaders debated with Muhammad to justify their worship of idols made of stones, and God has commanded to stay away from those ignorant polytheists: "Be tolerant, and command decency, and avoid the ignorant." (7:199); "Say, "Is it other than God you instruct me to worship, you ignorant ones?"" (39:64). God has warned some prophets against being among the ignorant; see 6:35 and 11:46. The term ''knowledge'' in the Quranic text refers only to the celestial messages of God given to messengers and prophets to convey to people (e.g., the Quran); and God has said the following to Muhammad about the Quran as the last message of God to humanity: "...Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration to you is concluded, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."" (20:114). Thus, knowledge here refers only to the Quran, as its verses were inspired to Muhammad intermittently; besides, this miraculous verse refers to the fact that the Quranic knowledge consists of 114 chapters. The Quran repeats to Muhammad the phrase "..after the knowledge that has come to you..." in many verses to refer to the Quran itself.
Knowledge also means real faith:
In some Quranic verses, the term (knowledge) means real faith as an opposite word to ignorance/disbelief/polytheism: "...God elevates those among you who believe, and those given knowledge, many steps..." (58:11); "On the Day when the Hour takes place, the sinners will swear they had stayed but an hour. Thus they were deluded. But those endowed with knowledge and faith will say, "You remained in God's Book until the Day of Resurrection. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not know."" (30:55-56); polytheists are described as ignorant ones lacking knowledge in 3:66 and 4:157, and see also 6:100, 6:108, 6:119, 6:140, 6:143, and 6:148 to quote but few examples. This is why era of polytheism (or pre-Islamic era) is described as (the age of ignorance) before the advent of Islam, as polytheists ignored or marginalized God for the sake of their gods they carved and fabricated.
Polytheists and misguiding others without knowledge:
The worst type of the ignorant ones are those who misguide people with their myths as they lack Quranic knowledge, and God warns us against such ignoramuses who misguide people by ascribing lies and falsehoods to God and his prophets in order to disbelieve in the divine inspiration or God's knowledge conveyed to us: the celestial message of the Quran: "...Who does greater wrong than he who invents lies and attributes them to God, in order to mislead people without knowledge? God does not guide the unjust ones." (6:144). This means that those polytheists combine their ignorance to lies fashioned and concocted to be ascribed to God's religion to intentionally misguide other people.
Debating with falsehoods and ignorance:
This type of ignoramuses is described in the Quran to make us be warned against it in all locations and eras. These descriptions include the fact that these people debate with falsehoods an lies in an attempt to refute the Quranic Truth, and they hide their own doubts by trying at all costs to prove themselves right and to make people admit they are so: "And among the people is he who argues about God without knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening scripture." (22:8); "...Yet among the people is he who argues about God without knowledge, without guidance, and without an enlightening Scripture." (31:20). Because such misguiding ignorant polytheists discard Quranic knowledge, they arm themselves with devilish falsehoods and fake narratives of Satan's doing: "Among the people is he who argues about God without knowledge, and follows every defiant devil." (22:4).
The continuity of such ignorance and debating with lies in all locations and eras:
When God says in many verses the expression (among the people...) this means that this is a fact that is repeated within all societies, eras, and locations as long as the human race exists on Earth until the end of days. It is among miraculous predictions of the Quran that the deeds and words of the Qorayish polytheists are repeated in all eras: to debate in an attempt to undermine the Quran, to disbelieve in it, to prevent people from reading and listening to it, distracting others away from it by false narratives, etc. We personally have seen such deeds and words by the Sunnite polytheists who assume that the devilish, Satanist narratives/hadiths supplant and replace the Quran and they tried in vain to debate with us to refute Quranism; these verses apply to them in our opinion: "Among them are those who listen to you; but We place covers over their hearts, to prevent them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it. Until, when they come to you, to argue with you, those who disbelieve will say, "These are nothing but myths of the ancients." They keep others from it, and avoid it themselves; but they ruin only their own souls, and they do not realize." (6:25-26). Muhammad died, but the Quranic message is still protected in its entirety and will remain so until the end of days, and the haters of the Quran until now imitate Qorayish and try to debate with us, pioneer of Quranism, and try to impose themselves on us despite our avoiding them. Their stance remain the same: to repel people away from the Quran and attempting to refute its verses to follow devilish narratives of hadiths and fiqh.
Debating using devilish hadiths:
How Satan misguide such polytheistic believers in hadiths? The Quran warns us against following distracting tales that aim to make people discard the best discourse: the Quran: God's Word, and such people who repel people away from the Quran by distracting tales exist in all eras, as we infer from the following verse: "Among the people is he who trades in distracting tales; intending, without knowledge, to lead away from God's way, and to make a mockery of it. These will have a humiliating punishment. And when Our Verses are recited to him, he turns away in pride, as though he did not hear them, as though there is deafness in his ears. So inform him of a painful punishment." (31:6-7).
The followers of Satanist inspiration and narratives include Salafist Wahabi Sunnites, the real arch-enemies of Muhammad:
1- There are two types of inspiration: the divine one of Truth (i.e., the Quran) and the devilish ones of countless narratives; see the contrast between them in these verses: 26:192-196, 26:210-121, and 26:221-224.
2- Those who propagate lies and falsehoods of the Satanist narratives are the real arch-enemies of prophets and messengers of God: "Likewise, We have assigned for every prophet an enemy-human and jinn devils-inspiring one another with fancy words in order to deceive. But had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. So leave them to their fabrications. So that the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter may incline to it, and be content with it, and that they may perpetrate whatever they perpetrate. "Shall I seek a judge other than God, when He is the One who revealed to you the Book, explained in detail?" Those to whom We gave the Book know that it is the truth revealed from your Lord. So do not be of those who doubt." (6:112-114); again we notice that the number of the verse 114 about the Book (i.e., the Quran), indicating the number of the Quranic Chapters as the only perfect and complete source of the religious Truth. God says the following about the same type of the arch-enemies of prophets and messengers of God: "And the messenger will say, "My Lord, my people have abandoned this Quran." Likewise, to every prophet We assign enemies from among the wicked. But your Lord suffices as a Guide and Supporter." (25:30-31).
The belief in distracting tales of Satanist narratives/hadiths is to disbelieve in the Quran:
The devilish revelation of hadiths ascribes lies and falsehood to God and Muhammad in order to repel people away from the Quran and to distort its meanings. Hence, there are only two types of discourses in religion: God's discourse (i.e., the Quran) as the Only Truth in Islam to believe in, and the devilish narratives/discourses (i.e., distracting tales and hadiths) that must be avoided and rejected by real believers in God. God says the following about the Quranic discourse: "These are God's Verses which We recite to you in truth. In which message, after God and His revelations, will they believe" (45:6). This Quran is the only discourse by God to believe in within Islam, whereas polytheists adhere to distracting tales and hadiths and have abandoned the Quran for their sake: "Woe to every sinful liar. Who hears God's revelations being recited to him, yet he persists arrogantly, as though he did not hear them. Announce to him a painful punishment." (45:7-8). God makes believers in hadiths and falsehoods ascribed falsely to God and Muhammad, leading people to reject the Quran, as the most unjust human beings, as repeated in many verses: "Who does greater wrong than he who invents lies about God, or denies His revelations?..." (7:37). In contrast, the real believers adhere to the best discourse (i.e., the Quran): "God has sent down the best of narrations: a Scripture consistent and paired. The skins of those who reverence their Lord shiver from it, then their skins and their hearts soften up to the remembrance of God. Such is God's guidance; He guides with it whomever He wills. But whomever God leaves astray, for him there is no guide." (39:23).
Between debates and discussions:
1- In light of the above-quoted verses, we look at commentators who try to refute our articles; if they disbelieve in the Quranic verses we quote, we never responds to them or care about their loud words, but to avoid them as per God's commands, waiting for God's judgment to settle our disputes in religion on the Last Day. To debate within God's verses to refute them is part of the traits of polytheists who disbelieve in the Quran; see 40:4, 40:35, 40:56, 26:16, and 26:35. Debating with the aim to undermine Quranic verses is stubborn futile endeavor and sophistry in an attempt to cast doubts on the Quranic light of Truth, leading polytheists to insult God Himself. This is why God has commanded Muhammad never to debate with polytheists, as devils incite the disbeliever to do so to make believing people insult God unwittingly and thus make them become polytheists: "But if they dispute with you, say, "God is fully aware of what you do." God will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection regarding what you disagree about." (22:68-69); "...The devils inspire their followers to argue with you; but if you obey them, you would be polytheists." (6:121).
2- This is not to prohibit discussion; positive ones are initiated by truth seekers to refute Sunnite, Shiite, or Sufi lies, myths, and falsehoods, that are made 'holy' with the passage of time, and to shed more light on Quranic facts or tenets. The rarely tackled issues and topics must be tackled through such fruitful discussions to illuminate the Quranic Truth and to refute myths by Quran-believing persons, NOT to debate with disbelievers in the Quran who seek to undermine it.
3- It is clear and easy to differentiate among discussions of truth-seekers and debates of Quran-haters; real believers prostrate in awe and their faith in the Quran increases; see 8:2 and those persons deserve spending hours daily to answer their questions coming to us via email. Our writings arouse many queries and wake up millions of minds all over the globe; as for polytheistic haters of the Quran who seek to debate with us to undermine it, we never care about their existence; we never share their cultural background; those who seek to learn Quranism must at first believe in the Quran as the only source of Islam and as God's Word. Haters of the Quran hate our quoting it to refute the Sufi, Sunnite, and Shiite religions and their notions that contradict the Quran; this reminds us with the following verses: "And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, you will recognize disgust on the faces of those who disbelieve. They nearly assault those who recite to them Our Verses..." (22:72); "Those who disbelieve almost stab you with their glances when they hear the message, and say, "He is crazy!" But it is no less than a reminder to all the Worlds." (68:51-52). We bear witness to the fact that stances in the previous verses we saw on faces of our Sunnite Wahabi foes at Al-Azhar: they used to attack us, look at us hatefully, and accuse us of being mad! They could not stand our quoting verses that refute their Sunnite notions, though they have learned the Quran by heart: "Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children; but those who have lost their souls do not believe." (6:20).
Reasons for this hatred:
Because polytheistic haters of the Quran cannot declare their hatred in public, they have one option left: to verbally abuse us to vent their fury, as we quote verses that refute their Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite notions, and they slander us and level many accusations at us, though we never compete for positions or money like them and we never attack their persons. Their hatred of the Quran makes them vilify and asperse our person; their hallowed myths such as fiqh and hadiths have led them inwardly to hate the Quranic Truth that contradicts their Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite notions of their earthly, man-made religions, and their hatred of the Quran is expressed by attacking our person who quotes the Quranic verses to remind them how in the wrong they are.
Real believers increase their faith using the Quran, and disbelievers increase their disbelief using the Quran as well:
The polytheists increase their disbelief using the Quran which is avoided, rejected, and abandoned by them as it contradict their mythology and their low morals lead them to slander and verbally abuse us as they could not refute us; they have no high morals that must be within real believers, and the same applied to polytheists at the time of Muhammad among People of the Book: "...Certainly, what was revealed to your from your Lord will increase many of them in defiance and blasphemy..." (5:64) "...But what is revealed to you from your Lord will increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief..." (5:68). This applies to hypocrites who feigned to be among believers: "Whenever a chapter is revealed, some of them say, "Which of you has this increased in faith?" As for those who believe: it increases them in faith, and they rejoice. But as for those in whose hearts is sickness: it adds disgrace to their disgrace, and they die as unbelievers." (9:124-125). Indeed, most of the Muhammadans have these traits of hypocrites, as hypocrisy goes on until the end of days, as we infer from tens of Quranic verses about hypocrite. Some gullible ones assume that disbelievers and hypocrites cease to exist after Muhammad died, since history of 'Muslims' and Arabs never talked about them! The Quranic miraculous predictions tell us that hypocrites will never cease to exist in all eras, and their hatred of the Quran appear when they send us verbal abuse via email as we quote Quranic verses that expose their polytheism and we ignore them and forgive them as much as we can; they never prostrate in awe when they hear or read the Quran: "What is the matter with them that they do not believe? And when the Quran is read to them, they do not bow down? In fact, those who disbelieve are in denial." (84:20-22).
Polytheists of today blaspheme and insult God:
Whenever we quote Quranic verses to refute religious notions of the Muhammadans fabricated in the Middle Ages by myriads of authors, asserting that the Quran is the whole, complete, and perfect source of Islam, and the only discourse to believe in, the polytheistic Muhammadans would tell us via email that the verses we quote refer exclusively to polytheists during Muhammad's lifetime! They accuse the Quran of being fit only to the 7th century Arabia, not to all eras, and that no Muhammadan will be ever put in hell whatever they say or do as they were born as Muslims! This is injustice that never fits with the Divine Justice of God; Muhammadans thus undermine the Quran and insult God unwittingly! This is why we are not to debate with them: "Do not insult those they call upon besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance. We made attractive to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do." (6:108). Their insistence to include hadiths in religion is insulting to God; as if the Quran were incomplete and Muhammad never delivered the whole message until scholars of the Abbasid Era wrote down, without being asked to, their silly and contradictory books of fiqh and hadiths! It is sheer madness to make such human wirings as 'hallowed' part of Islam! We never debate with these polytheists who believe in such hadiths so as not to make them insult God even unbeknownst to them. We sometimes try to show them true Quranic facts of Islam as we aim to save victims of the Sunnite, Shiite, and Sufi myths, but once they attack us and abuse us verbally, we stop replying and responding to them. No one of them can analyze and/or criticize us objectively while seeking the truth; we admit that some replies of ours are harsh in their tone, esp. when we are verbally abused via email, but in most cases, we exercise self-restraint. Some people accuse us of undermining and refuting the 'holy' imams of the Middle-Ages and this is a grave sin by Sunnites, and we must not do that so as to adhere to 6:108. We reply as follows: we do not care about Middle-Ages authors as persons, we care to refute their written ideas ascribed to Islam as if they were receiving divine inspiration; it is polytheistic to deem such authors as immortal and infallible deities. Real researchers must discuss their books and their words about all historical figures, even those made holy as 'saints'. There is sainthood in Islam; the only Saint is Almighty God. Sunnite masses grow angry as we criticize deeds and stances written in history of the four pre-Umayyad caliphs because they are made into immortal holy gods that never err. Sunnites focus only on glorious actions of these gods and ignore intentionally their darker side; they must treat all history figures as mortals who can err. All followers of earthly, man-made religions has mortal saints and gods; e.g., we have criticized the Bible but we never publish any of such writings on our website, this is the mission of reformers among People of the Book, not ourselves, as we focus only on reforming the Muhammadans. Thus, if our Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite foes would admit that their religions have nothing to do with Islam, we would never discuss their religions; but since they force themselves and their notions on Islam (i.e., the Quran), they must be intellectually and peacefully refuted and undermined. Religious terrorism worldwide is caused by Wahabi Sunnite hadiths and fiqh; let us never forget this important fact. Our stance is to ally ourselves to God and His Quran within peaceful intellectual jihad to clear the name of Islam from myths and terrorism and to reform 'Muslims'. All real believers in the Quran must reject all Middle-Ages books that contradict the Quran, books of Al-Bokhary, Al-Shafei, Ibn Hanbal, etc. and not to ally themselves to such devilish revelations and narratives. The Quranic Truth is clear and one cannot combine the belief in the Quran and the belief in Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite nonsense and falsehoods. One is free to choose either, while bearing responsibility for one's choice. Enemies of Islam make use of Sunnite, Sufi, and Shiite nonsense and falsehoods to undermine the Quran and some others use them to seek power and to establish a theocracy. Since 1977, we never cease to expose and debunk myths of both types of arch-enemies of the Quran. Lies and falsehoods that went on for 14 centuries must be rejected at once if Arabs are to rise as a great nation. Some people say that we are wrong to declare the Muhammadans as non-Muslims; declaring others as infidels by Wahabis means to put them to death, or to persecute them severely and confiscate their possessions and money. Of course, judging others is a relative process, but we dealer the Muhammadans as non-Muslims to make them wake up and stop being polytheists as they combine myths with their faith in God. one cannot be in medial or in-between position: one must be wither with God's Word or against it by adhering to false narratives, fiqh, and hadiths and to deified mortals. Any additions in later eras to Islam after the Quran is perfected and completed are certainly devilish narratives that must be rejected; God and Muhammad never left Islam unfinished until the likes of Ibn Hanbal, Al-Bokhary, and Abou Hurayrah came along as if to 'complete' it. those mortals will not judge us ion the Last Day; to adhere to such hadiths is to make oneself the enemy of God, Quran, and Muhammad. One's choice here would result in either Paradise or Hell; one will stick only to the Quran as God's Word or to man-made narratives. One must ally oneself to God and never hide Quranic facts so as not to be cursed by God, but to be vociferous and outspoken about the Truth: "Those who suppress the proofs and the guidance We have revealed, after We have clarified them to humanity in the Scripture-those-God curses them, and the cursers curse them. Except those who repent, and reform, and proclaim. Those-I will accept their repentance. I am the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful." (2:159-160). Hence, our declaring the Muhammadans as non-Muslims aims to raise their awareness and to save them from Hell because they do not realize that they are polytheists who insult God and do Him wrong and commit injustices against Him; their collective memory is distorted by Wahabism and they worship, deify, and sanctify items and mortals, and some of them turn into suicide bombers and terrorists because of Sunnite hadiths. Quranists must declare their monotheism and be vociferous and outspoken about declaring the Quranic Truth. We forgive our attackers and those who verbally abuse us via email. It is a sad fact that most believers are polytheists: "And most of them do not believe in God unless they associate others." (12:106). The Muhammadans never make the Quran as a sufficient source to them: "Does it not suffice them that We revealed to you the Book, which is recited to them?..." (29:51); "...And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion." (17:46). God will tell the following to dwellers of Hell: "That is because when God alone was called upon, you disbelieved; but when others were associated with Him, you believed..." (40:12). Quranists like us must defend Islam and seek no reward from mortals, and since we do so through peaceful intellectual endeavor/jihad, no one can blame us or persecute us, and we bear patiently with all insults and harm: "You will be tested through your possessions and your persons; and you will hear from those who received the Scripture before you, and from the idol worshipers, much abuse. But if you persevere and lead a righteous life-that indeed is a mark of great determination." (3:186); "We will certainly test you, until We know those among you who strive, and those who are steadfast, and We will test your reactions." (47:31). Our foes declare us as infidel who must be murdered, along with all Quranists worldwide that must be put to death by Wahabis! Thy impose media blackout on us and tarnish our reputation, inciting terrorists to kill us in VA, USA. We wait for God's judgment on the Last Day on us and on them. Satan never tendered his resignation; foes of the Quran will go on existing until the end of days; God tells us about the words of Satan: "He said, "Because you have lured me, I will waylay them on Your straight path. Then I will come at them from before them, and from behind them, and from their right, and from their left; and you will not find most of them appreciative."" (7:16-17). As always, God says nothing but the Truth,

Na we ngi hufikia kipindi wanasahau kuwa they are the queen of every mans empire now the world has 75% dependence to the strength of woman to stand and make a change. The world is ready to protect you if you only have to give all your strength to it survival. am not much of a speaker i could speak more of what many girls and women are doing wrong. but most of them you have narrated on the video. It's so nice to know that there are still some of you who can make others of your kind to stand and contribute to the world change. It is in men's power to enforce the strategies of the change..

I don't know about you, but I've always been interested in virtual reality. In fact, given my long-time gaming habit, I've been waiting with bated breath for the time when VR-enabled games become part of the consumer mainstream.
Until I read the following article, however, I hadn't given much thought to how VR technology could be used outside of the consumer sphere. In the article, the author makes a compelling case that VR tools may be the next frontier in big data analytics.
The author's arguments include the following:
- VR use allows big data users to analyze data dynamically, as it allows users to "reach out and touch" the data they are studying.
- Using an approach known as immersive data visualization, coupled with haptic or kinesthetic interfaces, users can understand data intuitively and discover patterns.
- VR allows users to view and manipulate huge amounts of data simply by looking at them. "VR enables you to capably stack relevant data, pare it and create visual cues so that you can cross-refer instantly," the author writes.
- With VR tools, users can interact naturally with data. Rather than glancing at reports, or reviewing spreadsheets, they can "manipulate data streams, push windows around, press buttons and actually walk around data worlds," the article says.
- VR makes multi-dimensional data analysis simpler. By using their hands and hearing, you just can pin down the subject, location and significance of specific data sources.
Though these concepts have been percolating for quite a while, I haven't found any robust use cases for VR-based big data analytics either in or outside of healthcare. (They may well exist, and if you know of one above to hear about it.)
Still, a wide range of healthcare-related VR applications are emerging, including both inpatient care and medical education. I don't think it will be long now before smart health IT leaders like yourselves begin to apply this approach to healthcare data visualization.
Ultimately, it seems likely that some of the healthcare data technologies are in play will converge with VR applications. By combining immersive or partially-immersive VR technologies with AI and big data analytics tools, healthcare organizations will be able to transform their data-guided outcomes efforts far more easily. And future use cases abound.
Hospitals could use VR to model throughput within the ED and, by layering clinical and transactional data over traffic statistics, doing a much better job of boosting efficiency.
I imagine health insurers combining claims records and clinical performance data, then using VR to as a next-gen tool predict how value-based care contracting play out in certain markets.
We may even see a time when surgeons wear VR glasses and, when perplexed in mid-procedure, can summon big data-driven feedback on options that improve patient survival.
Of course, VR is just set of technologies, and it can't offer answers to questions we don't know to ask. However, I do think that by people using their intuition more effectively, VR-based data analysis may extract new and valuable insights from existing data sets. It may take a while for this to happen, but I believe that it will.

Article content
ELMIRA, N.Y. — Mark Twain travelled the world but he came back every summer for 20 years to a farm owned by his wife's family in upstate New York.
When Twain mentioned he needed peace to write, his sister-in-law and her husband built him a separate study.
The study — an octagonal-shaped gazebo — stood 100 metres from the main house at his relatives' Quarry Farm, on a knoll overlooking the Chemung River Valley.
In 1952 the study was moved 3 km into downtown Elmira, onto the campus of Elmira College. Today visitors can stand — and sit — where Twain stood and sat as they conjure up the image of the author hard at work on, perhaps, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, just two of the many stories he wrote there.
One piece of work that maybe, just maybe, he scribbled here was a draft of a children's fable he called Oleomargarine. It never saw the light of day. But now, nearly 140 years later, that story has been fleshed out and will be published Sept. 26 — the 150th anniversary of the publication of Twain's first book, the 1867 collection of short stories The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County and Other Sketches. (For more on the new book, see sidebar).
In the study there's a brick fireplace and a writing desk and a picture of Mark Twain (born Samuel Clemens) over the mantel.
No, we don't know if he wrote his notes for Oleomargarine here, but the Center for Mark Twain Studies in Elmira tells us that, apart from Tom Sawyer and Connecticut Yankee, mentioned earlier, he wrote full books or major portions of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper, Life on the Mississippi, A Tramp Abroad and many short pieces here.
Twain called the gazebo "the loveliest study you ever saw ... It is octagonal, each face filled with a spacious window ... Imagine the luxury of it all."
His wife Olivia was more matter-of-fact. She loved it, she said, because it kept Twain's pipe and cigar smoke out of the main house.
In Cowles Hall of Elmira College, a short walk from the study, there is a fuller exhibit on Mark Twain, chronicling his life (1835-1910) and his work as a Mississippi riverboat pilot, reporter in the California and Nevada gold and silver mines, author, humorist, travel writer and satirist. (He took his name from steamboat jargon for depth of water, "Mark Twain" meaning two fathoms or 12 feet.)
There's a typewriter "similar to Mark Twain's first, circa 1875," noting that he was one of the first authors to submit his work in typescript.
There are a couple of cigars in an ashtray, with a note that he averaged 40 cigars a day. No wonder wife Olivia wanted him out of the house for long periods!
And in one corner there are crumpled pages all over the floor, recalling Twain's declaration often that writing was hard work.
Books, photographs, his wicker chair, a straw hat, his walking cane, a grandfather clock and a slide show on Quarry Farm over the years are also in the exhibit.
— For more information, visit elmira.edu/pdfs/Twain/twain-study-exhibit.pdf.
— Elmira is in the Finger Lakes region of New York, about 400 km from Toronto, via Interstates 90, 390 and 86. For more information, contact fingerlakestourism.org.
— News reports say Twain invented a "richly imagined" tale he called Oleomargarine to entertain his daughters Susy and Clara while vacationing in Paris in 1879.
— His notes on the story were found in 2011 in the Mark Twain Archive at the University of California at Berkeley and are now the foundation of a children's fable called The Purloining of Prince Oleomargarine. As noted, it will be published Sept. 26 by Random House Kids.
— Random House says renowned children's author Philip Stead "has written a tale that imagines what might have been if Twain had fully realized this work."
— The publisher says the book, which is aimed at children 8 to 12 years, is "illuminated by Erin Stead's graceful, humorous, and achingly poignant artwork."
— The Guardian reports: "Although Twain told his young daughters countless bedtime stories, it is believed this is the only time he recorded one."

EUCjr 2018 - First Day
It happened: EUCjr 2018 officially kicked off on Wednesday, 31st of January! This unique programme of Erasmus University College takes place for the second year in a row in which 47 motivated high school students from 7 different schools in the area of Rotterdam started a journey of exploring EUC, being a university student and above all, exploring their own interests and enriching themselves with skills.
For 8 days (spread over about two months), these youngsters will follow a specifically designed programme during which they will study within the four different departments of EUC, be researchers during the Academic Research sessions, learn presentation skills through rhetoric workshops and get to work on personal skills and ambitions. At the end of the programme, they will hopefully have a better understanding of what university – and EUC specifically – is and what impact higher education can have on their future. They will also have a better understanding about themselves, gained skills in writing, doing research and presentation and will also gain insight into their own ambitions and endeavours. All in all, EUCjr aims to enrich them in multiple ways! For more information go here: https://www.eur.nl/en/euc/meet-us/eucjr
The first day was a very warm welcome for all of us. The EUCjr students coming from Zuider Gymnasium, OSG Hugo de Groot, Het Lyceum Rotterdam, Marnix Gymnasium, Melanchton Schiebroek, Lyceum Kralingen and Avicenne College were very enthusiastic to start. It was an intensive day in which they met their EUCjr classmates, dove into the subject of identity, got lectures about what a university and a student association are about and closed off the day with inspirational stories by an EUCjr alumnus, Sevval Demir and an EUC alumna, Merel Dap. Together with parents, students and staff these stories were followed by social drinks in which we could discuss the day and create the opportunity to get to know EUC and each other a little better. It became clear that this group of EUCjr students was eager to learn and motivated to make the best out of this programme. For us, the EUC community, these are ingredients for a promising journey!

Letter to Our Clients - December 5, 2008
December 5, 2008
Dear Clients and Friends:
Recently my family and I were watching on cable TV an old episode of Mork & Mindy. It was fun, watching the antics of a young Robin Williams as Mork. I will explain in a minute why it is pertinent to this letter.
If you open your monthly statements, you are not likely to see any improvement over last month's reports. Behavioral analysis has demonstrated that most people think the future will be like the immediate past. This is why when the markets are going up, everyone is comfortable with investing. Likewise, now that the markets are dropping, the sense is that this will go on forever. However, the question is not "will this end," but, "when will it end?"
Every period of excess sows the seeds of a counter-trend. Outsized market returns have led to outsized market downturns. Too much debt has led to too little lending. Too much confidence led to too much pessimism. In my opinion, it is approaching the time where the pendulum should begin to swing back toward profitability, liquidity and confidence. "Black Friday's" shopping is proof that the US economy, even in recession, continues to function.
We may not be at or near the bottom. Even if this is close to the bottom, it may be some time before we see a long-term upward trend. Nevertheless, this is an excellent time to be investing in the stock, bond and real estate markets, and for those already invested it only makes sense to maintain your existing investment strategy. Think of it this way: every time someone sells a stock, someone else is buying. Right now, who is smarter? The sellers, or the buyers? Which will we be?
One justification for this optimistic outlook is the enormous amount of cash now on the sidelines. Investors all over the world have been buying US Treasury obligations as a short-term holding. Banks are full of depositor money. Institutional money managers are building huge cash reserves, at least those not having to liquidate for margin calls or shareholder redemptions. And, the nation's money market accounts are at all-time highs.
I read the Wall Street Journal daily, and I don't know why I remember this statistic, but in 1994 I noticed that there was $600 billion in money market accounts. I meant to call attention to the increases when that number hit $1.6 trillion, but missed it, and again at $2.6 trillion. However, this last month the Journal reported that there is $3.6 trillion in money market accounts. This is a staggering amount, especially when added to the other liquid reserves available throughout the world.
Added to all this, the US Treasury, in its infinite wisdom, is flooding the markets with cash. Sooner or later commerce will begin moving again. Sooner or later investors will begin again to buy into the value currently available in the stock and bond markets.
However, I doubt we will return to the 20% per year returns of the 1980's and 1990's. What were known as "investment banks," with huge appetites for risk and lax regulation, have now become commercial banks. They will now be governed by different rules, which will remove much of the froth from the markets. Also, while the current concern is deflation, longer-term there is a real risk of inflation, perhaps even outsized inflation. Hopefully it will not be as bad as 1977 to 1982, but it will take very wise fiscal policy to avoid the worst inflation since the early 1980's.
And then there are taxes. How can taxes not rise when we are throwing money at our problems? In addition, the Boomer generation is now a) qualifying for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and b) as soon as they stop working, these citizens will no longer be paying Social Security taxes.
So, we face opportunities, and risks. The three greatest risks for those approaching or in retirement are: 1) Longevity (you do not want to outlive your money), 2) Medical Expenses, and 3) Inflation.
Which brings me to Mork & Mindy. In the episode I was watching, Mindy's father was excited because he had finally saved up $2400. He wanted to demonstrate that he was a success when he went to the upcoming high school reunion. The $2400 was enough for him to buy a brand new Cadillac. Imagine what kind of automobile $2400 would buy today!
In 1978 a first class stamp cost $0.13. Today it is $0.42. My math says this is a loss of purchasing power over the last 30 years of almost 70%.
So, if we look at "risk management," it may be tempting to reduce volatility risk by purchasing "fixed income" investments. For example, an immediate annuity might guarantee a payment of $1000 a month for life, yet you surrender any rights to your principal. A bond might guarantee $12,000 a year for 30 years, and then give back to you the principal – but the $12,000 annual income never goes up. If your plan is to use the monthly income for transportation, utilities, and groceries, where will you get the dollars to cover the increases in costs over the years? When the bond matures, the principal returning to you may be able to purchase only 30% of your first investment.
The stock market may offer an attractive alternative. Profitable companies that pay dividends generally increase their dividends over time, which provides increased cash-flow to help maintain purchasing power. Historically, stocks appreciate over time, even though the last 8 years is not good evidence of it. Thus, the potential for rising dividends and share price appreciation make stocks one of the few investments which can generate cash flow that can keep pace with inflation. Too little stock market exposure puts you at risk of outliving your money. Too much stock market exposure may make it difficult to sleep in times like this. We need to always be mindful of the need to balance long-term strategies against the risks and fear of down markets such as this.
On the flight home from San Francisco I read an interview with a famous portfolio manager. When asked what he would have liked to have done differently in 2008, his answer was "the entire year." But, when asked the best advice he could give to those suffering through this market turmoil, he responded: "Things can change quickly, but your investment philosophy should not." We agree with him and strongly support this as a general principle.
However, it is not our intention to impose on anyone our world view. Our job is to help you develop and operate a financial plan and an investment strategy that meets your specific needs, concerns and situation. If you are worried about your financial health, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
If I do not see you before the New Year, I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season. Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you.
Best wishes,
Robert K. Haley, JD, CFP®, AIF®

There is a fine line between "soft focus" and processing skin where it is smooth yet detail is still visible. All of us have a different threshold for what that is. In a few of these what you are seeing is also a process that brings out the surrounding image detail yet has a clean soft look to the skin, yes this is intentional to show contrast of hard and soft in the image. Maybe there was a bit of detail loss in the compression of these if you pixel peep. I feel very confident that the high res files when printed will have a crisp yet fresh look to the skin as well as the other areas of the image. I can assure you the eyes, lips and teeth are crisp in the final prints.
Darn pixel peepers. Everybody's taste is different. I love them. Where where they taken at. I live near Dallas.

Russian lawmakers approved draft legislation that would make it a jailable offence to call on teenagers to attend unauthorised street protests, a move Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Tuesday was designed to frustrate his own activity.
Navalny, a 42-year-old lawyer who says he wants to succeed Vladimir Putin as president, has tried to win the support of a young demographic, including teenagers, some of whom have attended his nationwide anti-Kremlin protests.
Police have sometimes dispersed his rallies using force and jailed hundreds of attendees, including teenagers, whose presence has drawn sharp criticism from the Kremlin which has accused Navalny of manipulating minors for political gain.
The new legislation proposes introducing fines of up to 50,000 roubles or a jail sentence of up to 15 days for anyone calling on people aged under 18 to attend unauthorised protests. Companies or organisations that encourage minors to attend could be fined up to 500,000 roubles under the new law.
Opposition activists who want to protest already face an array of restrictions, including a requirement to seek the authorities' advance approval for the time and place of any rally. Authorities often flatly decline such requests for technical reasons or propose alternative venues in remote locations far from the public eye.
Navalny wrote on Twitter that the draft bill showed how the authorities were moving to give themselves a new lever to hamstring his opposition activity.
"They passed the law specially for me, but it's them that should be jailed for it," he wrote.
The bill was approved in its third and final reading on Tuesday. It must be approved by the upper house of parliament before it is signed into law by President Putin, something that is normally a formality.

We love beer, and more especially craft beer. Sadly, small brewers have long been missing a way to analyze the differences between batches. Fetchly worked alongside the Fermly founders to create an app that could change all that.
Sometimes we get to work with industries that are not typically known for exciting user interfaces. CattleSort is a great example of a project that brings ease-of-use and great design to a traditional industry. We also enjoyed seeing the baby cows.
In the world of clinical trials building new software can be a daunting task. Fetchly built a mobile application that needed to comply with a hefty set of FDA regulations and work smoothly for patients.
Cabinlandia is an ongoing project built by Fetchly. It aims to bring a new simplified experience to finding upscale vacation rentals. The service sits somewhere between a marketplace and a concierge service.
While working on the Nationstar Mtg. rebrand, they obtained an additional contract with USAA to service their mortgage clients. An in-house application suddenly had to provide a full set of unique features and branding elements to satisfy their client.
Developing a great mobile application sometimes requires an administrative web portal to handle users management or data audits. We built the ePRO web portal to comply with 21 CFR Pt. 11, ALCOA and ensure ePRO studies ran smoothly.
The NoteHub is a productivity application for STEM teams built by Fetchly, it allows engineers, scientists and lab managers to organize work into time-stamped notebooks (for patent protection) as well as creating a platform for team note collaboration, commenting, and quick image and PDF previewing.

Just recently, a study completed at several universities in England, found that babies who were breastfed for at least 4 months had significantly less behavioral problems than those who were formula-fed, by the time they reached 5 years old.
In fact the rate of occurrence of behavioral problems was 2.7 times greater in the formula-fed babies (16% occurrence vs. 6%). This finding was consistent and was not affected by socio-economic differences or parental factors.
The researchers said one possible reason for the findings was that breast milk contains large amounts of essential long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, growth factors and hormones, which are important in brain and nervous system development. These are the same essential fatty acids that are found in fish like salmon and tuna.
These findings add to the list of other benefits that have been suggested for breastfeeding. Some studies have suggested that breastfed babies have lower rates of infection, higher IQ's and less allergies and that mothers who breastfeed, may have a lower risk of certain types of cancers. (i.e. breast, endometrial, ovarian cancers).

|Oral history interview with Julian Bond, November 1 and 22, 1999
|1999 Nov. 1-1999 Nov. 22
As the son of Lincoln University president Horace Mann Bond, Julian Bond came into contact with black thinkers, musicians, and artists. The historically black Lincoln had served as a haven for black intelligentsia, but it also protected Bond from the pains of white racism. His parents sent him to a Quaker private school, where Bond learned pacifist principles. Upon graduating, Bond decided to attend Morehouse University in Atlanta, Georgia. There he became active in the civil rights movement while working on a local black newspaper. In his work with the newspaper, Bond witnessed whites' and black elites' opposition to the push for rapid racial change. The swelling protests among southern blacks, especially college students, piqued Bond's interest. His fervor led him to drop out of school, much to his parents' chagrin. Bond describes his involvement with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and his connection with other activists, including Ella Baker, Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer, Bob Moses, and Stokely Carmichael. The grassroots training experiences he gained working with local activists in Atlanta prepared him for voter registration organizing in rural southern counties. Bond explains the ideological tensions between SNCC and older civil rights activist groups. Many older activists, Bond argues, rejected younger blacks' radicalism as moving too fast, too soon. He discusses the growing internal divide that led to a black power camp and an integrationist camp within SNCC brought about by the inclusion of white Freedom Summer workers. Bond discusses his three successful bids for the Georgia House of Representatives and that body's refusal to seat him in 1966. In 1968, he formed a black challenge delegation to Georgia's all-white pro-segregation Democratic delegation at the Chicago convention. In the 1980s, Bond protested apartheid by boycotting stores that sold South African items.

MH370: A tipping point for the media?
By Zan Azlee
The media is subservient to the happenings of the world, and there are major events that happen over the years that can be considered turning points in the way the media world spins. Between 1914 and 1918, World War 1 contributed a lot for newspapers as more and more people wanted to stay abreast with happenings in Europe and sales experienced an unprecedented spike.
World War 2, from 1939 to 1945, became the era of the radio as people tuned in live to listen to the famous broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow narrate the bombing of London. The Vietnam War, throughout the 1960s and 1970s, was really the boom of photojournalism as pictorial news magazines made their mark in the world.
The first Gulf War in Iraq occurring from 1990 to 1991 was the era of television news as we saw how 24 hour news channels fed live broadcasts of bombings into people's living rooms. The next major incident that happened changing the face of media was the 9/11 terrorists' attack on the World Trade Centre in New York City.
Traditional media like newspapers, television and radio were almost totally ignored as people turned online to the Internet to get immediate alerts of what was unfolding in New York. That was the tipping point for the online news, and twenty plus years on since that day, the Internet is now the main source of news for the world community.
In fact, traditional news outlets such as newspapers are suffering so much from the switch in audience's habits that they are facing a major financial crisis and many have even closed shop. And now it looks like the media world is facing another tipping point that is going to change the way the world community consumes their news and information and of how news organisations will create their content.
This will be the time when established news media organisations will have their legitimacy challenged as they are pitted with conspiracy theories that are spread online by the public. [Click to read the full article at Enlish.AstroAwani.Com]

Prayer Letter April 2014
The latest prayer letter is available to download here: http://ift.tt/1mDe0Ns
Easter Conference
New Arrivals
Last Monday, Steve & Ann arrived in Mpongwe, having spent a few days with family in Ndola. They have come from Dorset to help here with some of the various projects that take place on the mission site. We're currently sharing accommodation and it's been such a blessing and encouragement to be able to pray, chat and share the ups and downs together. Even in this short time I think we have a strong fellowship.
I noted in my journal this morning that I'm so aware of God's favour in calling me here and providing in so many different ways. There are of course frustrations and annoyances but it's such a privilege to be here and I can see God's grace and provision in lots of places.
The photo below is Steve, Ann and I at a cafe in Ndola called….. The Mint Cafe!

You might like to think of yourself as something of a sporting expert, but can you really back that assertion up when push comes to shove? There are plenty of ways to improve your knowledge and understanding of sport, and you shouldn't hesitate to push yourself further and learn more in any way you can. Here are just some of the best things you can do if you want to be a more knowledgeable follower of sport.
1. Join A Fantasy League
Joining a fantasy league is all about having fun with friends and colleagues, but that's not all it allows you to do. Some people dive in really deep when they start playing fantasy league games. They assess the stats, follow players closely and generally broaden their understanding of the game in general. You should make the most of this opportunity as soon as you can.
2. Test Your Knowledge Against Your Friends
If your friends understand a sport better than you, why not learn from them? It could be the best way for you to get better at understanding the sport and taking a generally greater interest in it. You could also place some informal bets between a group of you to up the stakes and test each other, after all betting on football is more popular than ever. Just make sure you do this carefully.
3. Start Watching A Sport You've Never Even Paid Any Attention To Before
There are so many sports out there, so it's almost certainly the case that there are at least one or two that you haven't paid much attention to up to now. Therefore, why not start watching a sport that you currently know nothing about. It could give you the chance to learn about it and expand your general sporting knowledge. Who knows, you might even develop a passion for it.
4. Learn The Rulebook Inside Out
Every sport has its rules, and you can't truly understand or appreciate a sport if you're not willing to delve into the rulebook and find out more about what it says. It might seem a little boring, but learning about how the game operates is essential if you want to really appreciate it for what it is. Take the time to learn it inside out and you'll quickly become the most knowledgeable person in your friendship group.
5. Get Up And Play To Understand Your Favourite Sport Better
Finally, you need to play your favourite sport if you want to understand it. Sitting on the sofa and watching other people play it is one thing, and that can be perfectly fun, but it doesn't compare to playing it yourself and feeling the physical demands of the sport. Your appreciation for it will surely grow if you begin to do this, so what are you waiting for?
Sport should be about having fun, and these ideas will allow you to expand your love of various sports while also having a good time. What's not to like about that? Start putting the ideas into action today.

A draft contract containing details about Sarah Palin's speaking fee and requirements was obtained by California State University, Stanislaus, students who claim they found the document in a Dumpster. Here are some of her demands:
From The Onion Issue 46-16 (I know … two in a row from The Onion. Hey, it just happens to be the funniest site out there right now.)
Washington — High-ranking intelligence officials said Monday that the military was still aggressively pursuing notorious terrorist Osaka Binn Rogen, declaring that they had not forgotten about bringing the leader of the Al Hydra network to justice.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates assured citizens that American forces were actively hunting down Osaka Binn Rogen, and asserted that locating the mastermind behind the tragic 19-11 attacks is as pressing now as it was when their search first began, six or 10 years ago or however long it's been.
"This homicidal madman committed terrible atrocities against the American people, and we have never, ever lost sight of that," Gates said. "Binn Rogen is the most wanted man on the planet, and he remains our No. 1 priority."
"We have only one thing to say to this heinous individual," Gates added. "We will find you, Osaka Binn Rogen."
Based upon field surveillance and intelligence, officials recently widened the search for Orlama Win Roben by dispatching CIA paramilitary officers and Delta Force soldiers to track down, capture, or assassinate the terrorist leader, who has been described as a "very bad, very tall guy with a beard."
"Every single day our brave soldiers are out plastering wanted posters with Owanda Bun Luvin's face on buildings, telephone poles, and surrounding trees," Gen. Stanley McChrystal said. "We are constantly scouring the dangerous borderlands of Latvia for this terrible, terrible man."
"It's Latvia, right?" McChrystal added. "Either Latvia or Liberia or somewhere like that. You know, that general area."
Addressing reporters at a press conference Tuesday, McChrystal assured Americans that the U.S. military "would not rest" until the terrorist fugitive was found, and that they had "in no way" forgotten about the destruction Bun Loven and his extremalist followers had wrought upon the great city of Chicago.
"The memories of the El Mida terrorist attacks are forever seared into our minds," McChrystal said. "It may have been decades ago, but the emotional wounds still haven't healed. Believe me, Paga Tin Stogen will pay."
According to CIA director Leon Panetta, although Pajama On Llama has thus far eluded U.S. forces, Panetta was optimistic that the founder of the La Tostada network would be captured or assassinated, pointing to a successful missile strike last month that almost killed a member of the Tallywacker.
"I'm pretty sure we got the No. 2 or No. 3 guy," said Panetta. "Didn't we? It was someone in the top 10, for sure."
Members of Congress and U.S. allies agreed that Okenny Ben Loggens was very much present in their minds.
Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pledged "any necessary resources" to help hunt down the evil man who planned the horrific attacks on the World Trade Federation, as well as the Octagon.
"We should really try to find him soon, or as soon as is realistic, given that he is so hard to find," Lugar said. "This is Oggie Ring Quabben we're talking about after all."
Afghan president Hamid Karzai, who recommended checking a few countries to the left, said that he also was dedicated to finding the terrorist leader.
"I don't see Osama that often," Karzai said. "But next time I do, I'll definitely let him know that our allies are looking for him."

The German chancellor today launched a bold marketing campaign with the slogan: "I want Europe".
"Europe is not just a matter of the intellect – Europe is and remains above all a matter of the heart," she said in a video clip which launched a nationwide campaign. She added: "We have [European integration] to thank for our peace, our prosperity."
The campaign was backed by German companies, as well as celebrities, sports stars, former politicians and ordinary workers. Their clips ended with the phrase: "They know why Europe is good for us."
A raft of gloomy economic data showed why the rest of Germany needed the reminder. Manufacturing and services data showed that the powerhouse economy's private sector shrank for the fourth month running in August.
Foreign orders sank at the fastest rate for three years, and economists once again warned that the eurozone was almost certainly heading for a technical recession. Ms Merkel met tonight with the French president, Francois Hollande, to discuss how to handle Greece's request for extra time to meet its austerity targets, which is expected to be given short shrift.
Wolfgang Schäuble, Germany's finance minister, flatly rejected Greece's plea, while Mr Hollande insisted Greece must stick to promised reforms to remain in the single currency.
The Greek prime minister Antonis Samaras will meet Ms Merkel in Berlin tomorrow and Mr Hollande in Paris tomorrow.
Meanwhile, traders continued to watch Spain with alarm after reports suggested that officials in Madrid were preparing to request an official bail-out from Brussels. The reports said Madrid was ready to accept an injection of cash from the European Financial Stability Mechanism.

A batch of UFO photos from the Netherlands has us spooked this morning, but while the pics are not likely to have been tampered with, whether or not we're looking at an honest-to-goodness alien spacecraft is still up in the air.
Corinne Federer shot the UFO photos in the Netherlands while she was shooting five-frame HDR exposures at Muiderslot Castle.
"In order to create HDR images, you take three or more exposures — this one happened to be five — and you shoot them all at the same time, because you then overlap the images and it gives you the full spectrum of light, which your camera can't capture but your eyes can," the 43-year-old told The Huffington Post.
"We heard nothing, it was completely quiet out," she said. But when she checked the photos afterwards, she noticed a strange UFO with an S-shaped fin in several shots.
"The more I flipped through the frames, it was kind of creepy," she added.
So are we looking at a real alien spacecraft here? Unfortunately, experts aren't entirely convinced.
While admitting that it's not likely that Federer tampered with the photos to add a UFO to them digitally after they were developed, Ben Hansen, the host of SyFy Channel's "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files" believes that the photos have a pretty mundane explanation.
"The object's appearance is internally consistent with the rest of the photo. For instance, look at the darker area of the underside of the object compared with the clouds. The shadowing is similar on the underside as well as the lighting on the top of the object and the clouds where the sun is brightest. Having the sun in the frame is helpful because it indicates where shadows should appear. This further supports that the object was photographed 'in-camera' and not added later," he said.
But …
"If I had to place my money on it, I would say that we're looking at insects. We typically see many wing protrusions on insect rod cases, but they do come in the single pair variety, too. It all depends on the shutter speeds and motion of the insects."
Still Federer believes that while the photos might not show a real alien spacecraft, she hasn't ruled out the possibility of alien life.
"When I look at the amazing photography which captures the night sky in long exposures, and you can see how many stars are out there, I think there's absolutely no way that we're alone. So I don't find it unreasonable to believe that there's another habitable planet somewhere that has started exploring space," she said.
"Maybe they're more advanced than we are and they've come by to see what's going on here."

Introducing the RecycLiCo(TM) Patented Process – an Innovation of American Manganese Inc.
Making Lithium-ion Last Forever
SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 16, 2019 / American Manganese Inc. ("American Manganese" or "AMY" or the "Company"), is pleased to introduce the RecycLiCoTM Patented Process – an innovation of American Manganese Inc. for recycling cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries.
"As pioneers in the advanced lithium-ion battery recycling market, American Manganese and its RecycLiCoTM Patented Process aim to promote a circular economy for the lithium-ion battery supply chain and set the standard for high recovery and purity of cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries," said Larry Reaugh, President and CEO of American Manganese.
With the increasing "electrification of everything," the demand for mined battery raw materials has tightened the lithium-ion battery supply chain even as the end-of-life of first-generation hybrid and electric vehicles raised questions about the adverse environmental impact of spent lithium-ion batteries. American Manganese was early in recognizing these growing problems, and adapted its Intellectual Property focus to transform these problems into huge opportunities with their patented lithium-ion battery recycling process.
RecycLiCoTM is the culmination of this process, as the Company finds it important, for investors and potential business partners, to distinguish the Company's mining assets from its breakthrough lithium-ion battery recycling innovation.
The RecycLiCoTM Patented Process is currently being tested on a pilot plant scale and has achieved high extraction results as announced by the Company's April 12, 2019 Press Release. Following completion of the pilot plant project, American Manganese plans to commercialize its operation with a joint venture partner or via licensing agreements.
"I am extremely proud of American Manganese's innovative growth and foresight into expanding markets. We plan to keep investors and potential business partners informed of our exciting developments with the RecycLiCoTM Patented Process," said Mr. Reaugh.
American Manganese Inc. is a critical metals company focused on the recycling of lithium-ion batteries with the RecycLiCoTM Patented Process. The process provides high extraction of cathode metals, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and aluminum at battery grade purity, with minimal processing steps. American Manganese Inc. aims to commercialize its breakthrough RecycLiCoTM Patented Process and become an industry leader in recycling cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries.

Dog Food Ingredients A to Z: Meat
We now move to the letter "M" in our ingredient A to Z series and are featuring "Meat" as our ingredient of the day.
What is meat?
Seems like a trick question, doesn't it? According to dictionary.com, the definition of meat is: the flesh of animals as used for food. According to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), which establishes dog and cat food nutritional guidelines, meat is defined as the "clean flesh of slaughtered mammals and is limited to…the striate muscle…with or without the accompanying and overlying fat and the portions of the skin, sinew, nerve and blood vessels which normally accompany the flesh."
Based on either of these definitions, it is not clear what protein source that "meat" is derived from. Which is the problem!
Common names for meat
The most common dog food name variations for meat include meat meal and meat by-product, both of which are more processed forms of meat.
Why is meat included in dog food?
Meat is a cheap protein source that is include in lower quality dog food. Because it is not a specific protein, manufacturers can pick and choose the cheapest and lowest quality protein scraps available. We highly recommend that you choose a food with a named protein (like beef, pork, salmon) and avoid foods that use generic proteins like meat, poultry, or fish.
Is meat a commonly used ingredient in dog food?
Unfortunately, yes, meat is a very common dog food ingredient. We found meat (including meat meal and meat byproduct) in 15% of all dog foods in our database.
Common benefits or risks of meat
As we have posted about in the past, dogs are descendants of the carnivore Wolf and thus, they thrive on a diet high in animal protein and fats. Although non-specific, meat is a rich source in protein and fat.
There are several risks to using a food that includes "meat" as its protein source. First of all, it implies a lower quality ingredient. If the manufacturer can't be more specific, it raises a huge red flag warning. Second, without a named protein source, you have no way to know if a food is appropriate for your dog if they have allergies or other medical issues.
Miscellaneous facts about meat
The word meat comes from the Old English word mete, which referred to food in general.
Meat generally refers to the flesh of mammals and not poultry or fish flesh.
Archie Bunker called his son-in-law "meat head".
Slimdoggy Ingredient Comfort Level (new!)
Because meat is a nondescript ingredient and the pet owner can not discern the meat source, we consider meat to be an ingredient to avoid. Hence, we award it the Slimdoggy frown.

We call Thunder a meat hunter. Does that count? lol But seriously, thanks for the info. We like to choose foods with the protein source called out. We just recently changed Freighter to bison. He was not doing as well as we would have liked on the salmon based food he was eating. The other two do great on the salmon. Different dogs, different foods I guess.

Great post! A concern I always have about "meat" is – where is it from? What were those animals eating? Were they given antibiotics? Growth hormone? Not all meat is equal, imho.
Sue at Talking Dogs recently posted…Adopt Henry a Senior Black Labrador Retriever Dog in Missouri
We feed raw. A combination of chicken necks and ground turkey, but on occasion I will pick up beef. They are definitely defined sources though!! It's good to know if for some reason we switch back to kibble.

It's the "meat bi-products" that always confuse/alarm us. When we try to read about them we lose our appetites.

It never occurred to me that "meat" would be such a common dog food ingredient. I'm used to seeing "chicken meal" or something like that instead. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes peeled from now on!
Nailah Bone recently posted…Holiday Foods – Doggy Don'ts!
My dogs wish I would do this. I have a dehydrator, but honestly, raw meat bugs me too much. Yeah, I know, I feed raw. But, having to handle raw chicken long enough to slice it up into uniform slices that will dry evenly- that makes me shudder a bit.
That is one of the first things I learned from you that really stuck with me…named meat sources only. I won't buy that processed sandwich meat from the deli for myself, and the dogs deserve the same treatment!
That AAFCO definition of meat really makes me want to become a vegetarian. Not the dogs of course, but myself. I just can't quite give it up though.

Mamiya to sell camera business and it's US Distributor merging with an ad agency - link.
When you sell a camera, even a Med. Format for over $15,000 USD, what do you expect in return.
The industry is changing consistently now, and will not stop. Selling those cameras at a price out of reach for even those who are pros is what will lead to one's demise.
Minolta found this out, Bronica found this out, now Mamiya has too.
At least Hasselblad is selling the H Series under $7,000 and that is within the reach of many more than $15,000. When Sony goes pro in a few months, the question is will they learn this lesson too, or will they fall like the other three?
that's a shame, mamiya is (was) a great company.
Separate names with a comma.

What is hatred? What is baseless hatred? And how does this basic human emotion affect our relationships, our communities, and our world? In this fascinating study, pharmacological researcher Rene H. Levy looks through a scientific, sociological, and religious lens at the causes and effects of baseless hatred, and offers a prescription for preventing and repairing its damaging consequences. Levy examines the psychological and neurobiological bases of baseless hatred, and shows how it destroys interpersonal relationships. Baseless hatred is understood within Jewish tradition to have been the cause of the longest exile of the Jewish people from the Land of Israel; Levy discusses the impact of baseless hatred – both from without and from within – on the State of Israel, including an analysis of Islamist anti-Zionist hostility and the more recent Western antisemitic opposition as well as the new existential questions posed by the post-Zionist movement. Finally, Levy shows how the cement that has kept the Jewish people united as a nation, known as arevut, "mutual responsibility," proves to be the remedy for the devastating problem of baseless hatred.

"Hatred was at the core of the Holocaust and all its methods of annihilation. Yet in the wake of the Holocaust, hatred did not become a significant animus for the Jewish people. Every generation must evaluate the meaning of the Holocaust within the continuum of Jewish history. Rene Levy's book, which deals systematically with the phenomenon of hatred – and specifically with baseless hatred – presents a gripping challenge: what are the ways and means for dealing with the dynamics of disputes and divisiveness, particularly expressions of baseless hatred, within the Jewish people? This is an opening for a vital discussion for all of us."
Avner Shalev,
Chairman, Yad Vashem Directorate; Brigadier General, IDF
"Rene Levy's book Baseless Hatred attempts to pinpoint the fundamental source of evil and find ways to reduce it.… Levy analyzes the Jewish people as a whole, focusing with surgical precision on the State of Israel. Delving deep into various sources, historiosophy, theology, and the Zionist endeavor, this work presents an analysis of hatred among the people of Israel, including that which led to 1,878 years of exile. This book will find its place in the libraries of readers at the highest level. With its direct relevance to current events, Baseless Hatred will serve as a springboard for vital public discussions."
Professor Shevah Weiss,
former Speaker of the Knesset; former Chairman, Yad Vashem Council
"Hatred is a harsh sentiment that defies exact definition, and yet it is encountered by all of us at some point in our lives. Baseless hatred is identified by Jewish tradition as the cause for the destruction of the Second Temple, and thus as emblematic for the substantial personal and collective harm that has ensued. In its most extreme form, this kind of hate aims to exterminate one's fellow man. Even when it is not
totally eradicated, baseless hatred can be channeled and restrained. Levy's book is an effective jumping-off point for discussion of this important subject."
Professor Dan Michman,
Head of the International Institute for Holocaust Research and Incumbent of the John Najmann Chair of Holocaust Studies, Yad Vashem;
Chair, Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research, Bar-Ilan University
