"Arbaeen EU delegations" was registered as an NGO in Europe about three years ago.The purpose of establishing the NGO was making communication and coordination among European citizens who wish to attend Arbaeen ceremony. The organization didn't have a regular and formal plan in the past three years. This year, for the first time, it could manage significant population to gather in Iraq.
In this regard, Hojjat al-Islam Seyed Ehsan shir khodaei, responsible of Cultural Committee of Arbaeen EU delegations, said to the reporter of Islamic Radio and Television Union: "this year we managed to register over 950 Shiite Muslim citizens from 18 European countries and bring them to Iraq for attending Arbaeen ritual."
"About 50 of them are the newly Muslims who had converted to Islam and Shiism from Christianity. The rest of them come from the families that are Muslim originally and had European culture in the past, but thanks be to God they back to the Islamic culture again," he added.
Shir Khodaei also said: "most of them in the convoy are coming from families who are originally Muslims. They come from Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, etc."
This group of European Muslims is going to stay in Najaf for three days. And they will attend hiking of Arbaeen pilgrimage on Friday morning.
He mentioned propose of Cultural Committee of attending Arbaeen EU delegations: "we and our friend, who are seminary students and can speak different languages from Qom, came to the conclusion to form a Cultural Committee for Arbaeen and have cultural activities alongside the European Muslims in Iraq."
Shir Khodaei continued: "we plan getting to know them and collect basic and personal information in order to communicate with them and use their capacity over the years. We also want to present Cultural and religious lectures for them in their accommodation and resolve their religious doubts and etc."
"Along with our cultural committee, some artist girls, master in calligraphy, come along with us to make a connection with these newly Muslims and train them Islamic line in short-term courses. On the way from Iran to Iraq we stopped at some spots and the sisters write beautiful religious slogans on the wall of Mokeb (shelter) and enlightened the mood."
"We have prepared blue uniforms with special headbands for the newly Muslims, so the Convoy of Arbaeen EU delegations could move as a group in the road. We also prepared some cultural products as a gift such as beads, ring and etc to enhance the spiritual value of the convoy. Some benefactors gave the full budgets of the gifts preparation," he also added.
At the end, the young and active cleric said: "this is our first official appearance of Arbaeen EU delegations. We hope to hold a proper ritual as an introduction for greater and more populous caravan for next year."

Languishing in a file among hundreds of other negatives for the last 22 years have been a series of still life photographs taken by a Lancaster University graduate.
Just three of the 12 images formed part of Frances Lumber's degree exhibition back in the 90s but the others were never printed and simply gathered dust as life took over and the photographer embarked on a career as a primary school teacher.
Having given up full time teaching and moved to a new home in Tideswell where she has room for a darkroom Frances, pictured, has finally found time to resume her photography and illustration work.
At the top of her agenda was finishing the project she began all those years ago.
Each one of the dozen pictures is a still life representing a calendar month and has been created using found objects including flora and fauna which she then photographs on black and white film, prints and later hand-works with watercolour paints, pencils and pastels.
"I had the original idea while I was at university studying graphic design and illustration and created three of the months for my degree show," explained Frances.
"I enjoyed it so much I went on to photograph nine more over the course of the following year but I didn't have the opportunity to print and hand-work them – the negatives were put away and forgotten about.
"Working on them now has brought back some fond memories," she said reflectively, as she showed me each of the finished images stacked ready for an exhibition entitled A Natural Order at the Green Man Gallery in Buxton.
"I love the tones of the black and white images but I also enjoy colour. It is a slow process building up layers of washes and dry colour but hand-working in this way means each image is unique and it gives me my colour fix.
"After all this time I am really excited about seeing them hung together at Buxton."
The full series will form just part of the exhibition – the rest will be from the 47-year-old's collection of hand printed, black and white, landscape photographs.
"My landscapes are rarely the broad view I like the little quiet corners; the light and shade; shadows on the rocks or buildings.
"My favourite images are when something new from the landscape has been created because the sense of perspective has disappeared and it is hard to get an idea of scale and distance. Nature is a constant inspiration to me. There is always something new to see. I don't think I will ever tire of capturing it on film."

Pots, Fish'n'Ships is an exhibition at The Burton Art Gallery and Museum in Bideford, North Devon, UK, opening 22nd February.
The lovely folks at The Burton have kindly agreed to partner smallcurator-all are hard at work to produce a fabulous display of contemporary and historic material:
We are drawing connections between contemporary North Devon potters' output and the heyday of sgraffito decorated and plain wares, when North Devon pottery reached across the world. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Bideford was at the centre of this trade.
Many of the contemporary pots on display here will be taken from the 200-odd pieces fired in The Kiln in the Park, in Victoria Park, just outside the Museum, in Bideford. When dozen contemporary local, national and European potters met and fired the kiln in the traditional way, using wood, over three days last September, a fantastic range of North Devon inspired pots resulted. This exhibition-Pots, Fish'n'Ships-is the final piece of this project funded by The Arts Council, to show North Devon pottery is both part of a historical continuum and a lively contemporary art.
The exhibition will be presented as quirky visual essays around themes taken from the contemporary pottery to blur boundaries between past and present.

The Gathering
The Gathering
Fantastic, inconceivable and improbable movie. Under rated movie, very under rated If you have seen other movies from Brian Gilbert then you will know the story behind this movie. I agree that this movie just isn't for everyone. If you're folk with low IQ you really might not like this movie. After few minutes of watching, it's clear this movie will be great. What makes this movie interesting? Conversations, music, characters, just everything. Small aspects which are great, are making this movie so good. I like that I don't have to pay for cinema or netflix to watch new movies like The Gathering. Now if you got some free time, don't wait and watch The Gathering for free online.

The band played a John Mayer song at church yesterday… and it was awesome.
Now I know this whole 'the church and secular music' this has been done and overdone many times. However I hope to give a new perspective on it specifically dealing with playing secular songs in church.
Let's start with a scenario… You decide to go for a stroll in the park and stumble across some beautiful flowers. You are in awe and immediately pull out your phone to document the beauty (because, if you don't Instagram it, did you really see it?) You start to give God praise for the beautiful flowers…….. but first you need to do your research.
Were these flowers planted by a Christian?
Did the person who planted these flowers plant them with the intention of honoring God with their beauty?
I know, it sounds ridiculous. So why do we do this with music?
In his book Jesus>Religion, Jefferson Bethke writes,
If we only give God glory for explicitly Christian things, we are thieves.
That statement really rocked my world. If I am feeling moved by a melody or the voice of an artist or believe the words they are singing are truth, why does it matter if they wrote the song to honor God? Doesn't that show the unbelievable power of Christ that He can get glory and praise from a song that wasn't even intended to do so? Not to mention, every talent of singing or writing or playing or making music comes from The Lord.
I recently had lunch with a friend who spent her summer interning at a church. She said that one of the things she learned this summer was "that the Kingdom of God should do nothing short of sin in order to bring others to Christ" she talked about never wanting to be apart of a church that catered to believers.
I have not been able to shake that thought since she said it. Nothing short of sin…
If a nonbeliever was sitting in my church on Sunday and they heard that song by John Mayer, what would they think? It was a popular song, sung beautifully, and went along well with the message the pastor gave later. Think about how a nonbeliever would feel in that moment. I think they would feel immediately connected and comfortable – really! Think about how you feel when the worship pastor introduces a new song… that is how someone new to church feels at every song. Yet here is something familiar. They can make a connection – and it might even allow them to connect it with the sermon.
Now, I do believe there are boundaries within this (here is where I denounce playing your favorite Drake song in church). In John chapter 4 we see Jesus talking with a Samaritan woman. Basically, he is calling out the woman and all Samaritan's in general for being legalistic in the way they worship (ouch.. sound familiar?)
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.
John 4:23-24
Jesus points out that it is does not matter where you are or the songs you sing, as long as your heart is worshiping in the spirit. If a song is speaking truth, and you are worshiping with the spirit, it is honoring God and you can give all the praise and glory to the Father. Even if you are listening to "Say What You Need To Say" by John Mayer.
A few months ago I had friends who were "church shopping." After attending my church on Easter Sunday I asked them how they liked it. They responded by saying that they enjoyed the sermon but they weren't planning on returning because at the beginning of the service, when people were being seated and waiting for things to start, the band was playing and singing the song "Happy" by Pharrell.
Since then I have been very curious and prayerful about the idea of "secular music" in the church. I have created conversation with those close to me about how they feel about it and I have observed people in my own church and their reactions when we listen to songs that aren't explicitly Christian.
I'll be honest, for a while it really bothered me. My heart was torn between it being okay, and it being obviously not okay because people who had been raised in Christian homes turned away from our church because of it. Finally, I felt God answer my restless heart. There are plenty of churches for Christians. But my church, the church I want to be apart of, is a church that revolves around non-Christians. It shouldn't bother me that believers didn't want to come to my church, because I want to be apart of a church that caters specifically to nonbelievers and does nothing short of sin to bring them to Christ.
If listening to a "secular" song in church makes you uncomfortable, good. Reaching into the lives of non-Christians should make you uncomfortable, because their lifestyle does not reflect yours. But we were not called to be comfortable and sing the same 20th century songs every Sunday morning. We are called to reach out and touch the lives of others in order to show them Christ. And if that means listening to a cool jam at church in order to appeal to nonbelievers, I'm up for the task.

How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?
Hard to say without enough experts to make the final determination.
How many experts would be required?
That determination might be better made if it were simply to be turned into a different proposition: How many experts can fit on the head of a pin?
Fortunately, it is not philosophy, but rugby that we propose to examine. Not the number of rugby players or rugby experts that can fit on the head of a pin, but the number of players who belong on the Australian Ruby League's Team of the Century.
The Australian Rugby League and the National Rugby League, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the game's history in Australia, decided that 130 experts was the correct number. Early in 2008, after deliberations that began in the latter part of 2007 were concluded, they announced the best 100 players of all-time. From that point, they proceeded to construct a Team of the Century composed of 13 starting Australian players, along with four reserves and coach.
We have had a look at the career of Clive Churchill, who made the team at fullback. Now, we will take a peek at one of the wings, Brian Bevan.
Brian Eyrl "Wing Wizard" Bevan (24 June 1924 – 3 June 1991) was born in Sydney. His father, Richard "Rick" Bevan, played for Eastern Suburbs during the 1927 season of the NSW Rugby Football League, a season in which East finished fourth on the nine-team ladder before losing to St. George in the semi-finals.
Commencing in 1942, son Brian followed in dad Rick's path, playing for Easts. He is listed as playing on that side until 1946, but a decision to join the RAN at the outbreak of WW II in 1939 resulted in his being limited to just eight appearances. In that period, he was unable to score a try, tallying just one goal for two points. His brother Owen played for Sydney's St. George Dragons and his great nephew Paul Bevan played 129 games for the AFL Sydney Swans.
Post-war found him performing for the Warrington Wolves "The Wire" Football Club in England. Bevan made his debut for the club in 1945. He had served aboard the HMAS Australia, with a letter of recommendation from a former Eastern suburbs player. Rugby League was undergoing a good period of growth, what with the exuberance and optimism following the Allies' victory in blossom. Bevan's club in particular enjoyed some of its best results.
Bevan had tried to get on with Leeds, but was rejected due to his frail appearance, if it is even possible to conceive of the Bogs perceiving an Aussie as frail. He was turned down by Hunslet also. Low on options, he managed to get a trial with Warrington, which signed him after he scored a try in a November trial. After playing well the following week, The Wire signed him to a contract for £300. He started to prove his worth and collect those pounds sterling after returning briefly to Australia to complete his naval obligation.
In his first full season of 1946 – 47, he led the club with 48 tries, outscoring the nearest player in the league by 14. From that point, he basically continued to get better and better, taking top scorer honours in Great Britain in five different seasons. He scored 72 in 1952 – 53, trailing only one other player, Albert Rosenfield, in the history of the game in England. The following season, 1953 – 54, found his setting a new record in the history of the game when he passed the old mark of 446 tries established by Alf Ellaby.
Other records fell to Bevan as well, scoring hat tricks on more than 100 occasions, kicking seven tries in one game, and over the course of 16 seasons with Warrington, playing in 620 games, tallying 740 tries, 34 goals and 2,228 points.
The Wolves surrounded Bevan with highly competent teammates, so his scoring accomplishments were not wasted on a futile effort. The team included other great players, Harry Bath and Gerry Helme amongst them. The team took the League Championship three times, in 1948, 1954 and 1955. In 1950, the team made a good run to appear in the 1950 Challenge Cup final, where they took the trophy by holding their local nemesis, the Widnes, scoreless, winning 19-nil. The team also won the Lancashire Cup in 1960, something they had not done since 1938. Something that made that accomplishment even more significant is that The Wire played all their games on opposition turf.
In his last season of 1962, The Wire was again proficient. Bevans played his last game on Easter Monday. During his tenure, the team produced two Challenge Cup titles, three Rugby League Championships, six Lancashire League titles and one Lancashire Cup.
Retirement followed, although he did turn up occasionally over the course of three seasons to play with Blackpool Borough. He took part in 42 games, adding 17 tries to his career total.
In addition to his Rugby League appearances, he also took part in 16 games of the Other Nationalities team between 1949 and 1955. In 1952, he was a member of British Empire XIII and Rugby League XIII in 1954.
He did make an appearance in Australia in 1961, playing in a seven-a-side testimonial match to honour Keith Holman, named one of the finest rugby league footballers of the 20th century.
Brian Bevan was inducted into the British Rugby League Hall of Fame in 1988. He died in 1991, so it was fortunate that he lived to enjoy the honour. In 2005, he was inducted into the Australian Rugby League Hall of Fame, and as of 2015, he is the only player to be enshrined in both Halls. Of course, he is in the Warrington Wolves Hall of Fame as well, and has had his image of a British postage stamp. His total for all the teams he represented of 796 tries remains a world record, and about the only thing he may have regretted was that he never got to represent Australia in a test match.

Pictures of the latest objects seized by the police in the Mexican state of Michoacan, revealed that the mysterious 'Knights Templar" drug cartel is more bizarre than most people imagine.
There were four hooded tunics, with a red cross, a metal helmet, and a pamphlet or Templar rule book. This drug cartel claims to draw inspiration from the medieval Christian warriors who fought to protect Jerusalem and the Holy Grail.
No one knows if its founder, Servando Gomez, a school teacher, was a history entuthiast or simply read the Da Vinci Code.
The rules in the modern day 'templar bible' call for observance of 'gentleman' like behaviour and respect for women – but also state that any disclosure of knights templar activities will result in the death of the person and his whole family, and confiscation by the cartel of the snitch's property. Watch my tv report from Michoacan.

Pav the Disney villain as we wave goodbye to Mickey Mouse
I applaud you, you the faithful that travelled up to Stoke.
I spent yesterday evening recording episode nine of The Fighting Cock podcast. Was still 0-0 when I left North London to travel back into the depths of Epping Forest and had to make do with watching the penalty shout-out on Twitter. Struggling to understand how we lost if Pav scored two points for his conversion. To think I thought we played a fairly experienced side (in part) and yet no goals in 120 minutes of play?
Pens are always a lottery although more a formality for the opposition when up against us. I should be despondent with us getting knocked out so early (a cup run is a cup run after all and Wembley is still Wembley) but I guess I've finally being turned by Champions League qualification. It's the way she lifts her skirt up and reveals her panties. Gets me every time. I've been seduced and therefore do not feel anything other than numb frustration we couldn't score.
I guess Harry has validated his pre-match soundbiting that he never wanted to get rid of Crouch of Palacios. We would have won if we had them both #footielogic.
I'm told Gomes was 'alright' but along with Gio and Pav, almost disinterested in terms of tangible effort. Just players going through the motions. Not sure why people wish to slate him (Gomes) for not saving a single penalty. I know he's a shot-stopper, but pens are always down to how good the pen is when taken.
Roman has more or less cemented his Jan move away if you happened to listen to the commentary on the radio or worst still, been there to witness it - he was apparently shocking. Body language was oozing negativity and his play was abysmal. I guess the lad is still trying to settle in England and learn the language, bless. And perhaps people will finally let go of the dos Santos in good Spurs performance dream once and for all as he was equally poor.
Carroll played well. Beef him up a bit I reckon. He'll be some player when he finally reaches 12 years of age. Townsend also looked bright. Not sure what a Lluongo is exactly, but chin up lad and well done for having a go.
All this is the consensus by the way, not opinion. If anyone at the game disagrees, then please share.
Positives? Four clean sheets on the trot (DVD?). Sandro and Gallas are back playing and Rafa gets to push on towards full fitness (if that's even possible with him).
I guess its disappointing we're out but the yoof players still have Europa to accumulate those precious minutes of experience. In the end, patched up side of first teamers, benchers and kids not creative enough and without cutting edge to progress.
That's all I've got.
Onwards to Wigan.

text: Although we're all frantically trying to transition our wardrobe into a more fall appropriate one for those of us that live in warmer climates can still get away with buying some comfortable shirts ( yes even printed ones ). So wether you're layering your look with an overcoat / jacket or just rocking a more casual look for that cool 75 degree breeze, some jeans or trousers paired with any of these loose fitting button up's can complete any outfit. While scrolling through Zara.com i started to realize that they have such an incredible collection of menswear, such easy wearable pieces that bring a chic and elevated sense of dressing. Now I'm not really a big fan of fast fashion or the controversy that surrounds it, however i do know that for occasional shopping ( and for my wallet ) sometimes i have to shop fast fashion to keep up with my ever changing style of dressing. Wether you're a fan of the brand or you detest them, you have to admit these are some pretty amazing shirts.

Data science is an interdisciplinary discipline at the border between statistical science and computer science aiming at discovering knowledge from typically large set of structured or unstructured data. To achieve this goal, data scientists use statistical methods and machine learning in combination with exploration and optimization algorithms from computer science.
The specialisation Data Science equips students interested in data analysis with state-of-the-art knowledge in the advanced statistical techniques, machine learning and algorithmic aspects of data analysis.
The programme is a unique collaboration between the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) and the Mathematical Institute (MI), in collaboration with the Leiden Centre of Data Science (LCDS).
Why choose Computer Science in Leiden?
1. Research at LIACS and MI has an excellent international reputation.
2. The strength of the programme is the unique collaboration between LIACS and the Mathematical Institute.
3. The researchers and assistants are easily accessible. Students and staff work closely together in a research-oriented environment.

I had a great weekend, I really did. I went on an inspiring ride on Saturday and then I rode to the gym and had a nice workout. Today I had a fun morning with the kids, my mom came over and we played in the kiddie pool with the kids. This afternoon Miguel stayed home while I went to the gym during the kids' nap. I did c25k, Week 1 Day 4. I decided to repeat Week 1 a second time, especially since I've started cycling again. I don't want to push myself too hard. After the treadmill I did some weight training, chest and triceps, and then enjoyed a lot of stretching. The gym is so nice when I'm not under a crazy time crunch. I did 3 sets of everything instead of two and I got in all my stretches and held them for 10-15 seconds each.
I think anyone would agree this was a good weekend. I came home and showered and somehow the scale popped into my head. I was tempted to weigh myself. My unmonitored thoughts went something like this, "I've had such a good weekend, I must have lost some weight. I could weigh myself to find out." It's as if I was looking to the scale to prove or disprove my good weekend was really "good".
That's when my higher brain kicked in and challenged the idea that the scale is somehow the arbiter of good vs bad. What if I'm heavier today than I was on Friday, does that mean my good weekend wasn't real? What if I lost three pounds, does that confirm it? I have an ax to grind with the scale in this regard. It's just so tempting to see those numbers as having much more meaning than they do. It's really not about the numbers. I mean, it's true, they are one way to measure your progress toward the goal of weight loss. But those numbers do not measure your progress toward other goals, like making lifestyle changes that will really last a lifetime. The scale doesn't measure the changes in your body, like your blood pressure going down or your heart getting stronger. Heck, the scale doesn't know if you had a salad with grilled chicken for dinner instead of making chocolate chip cookies and eating 5 of those for dinner. The scale just gives you one piece of raw data. The thing about raw data is that it is only part of the story. Alright, I'll end my rant now.
So I didn't weigh myself. And I'm glad I didn't. I know I had a good weekend and the scale, either up, down or sideways, will not be asked to give its opinion on that. Besides, I don't trust those scales. They lie.
I want to close with a picture from Saturday's ride. I wanted a more action-like picture but with the chaos that day I was happy to have this one to share. Do I still look cool? :)
Hope you all had a great weekend too!!

Breaking news this morning that the unemployment rate is beginning to turn around.
Running a better business means combining empirical information and instinct.
Based on that, I think this is as deep as the talent pool gets. In every industry, incredible people are looking for new opportunities.
If you think there is even a one in one hundred chance you might need to add someone this year, now is the time to go looking.
In our lifetimes, there will never be a better moment.

I have observed that people often misunderstand the gospel of Grace, thinking that it is a theological concept, a principle, rather than what it really is. Grace is a person, and His name is Jesus Christ. Grace is perfect theology.
People get messed up, however, because they think that Grace gives us permission to live a sinful life. That's not what Grace does, though. Grace does the exact opposite. It motivates, empowers and qualifies us to bring the culture and civilization of Heaven here to Earth. That is our assignment, our commission, our quest.
If we refuse to do that, perhaps because our doctrine fails to motivate us, poorly equips us, or falsely disqualifies us, the people around us are going to become ill without someone there to lay hands on them, they will die before their time without someone there to raise them, they will be afflicted by spiritual forces without someone there to cast them out, they will spend eternity in Hell without someone there to lead them into the Kingdom of God.
Compared to Heaven, we all have to agree that the Earth is a pretty uncivilized and uncultured place. It is our ministry, our privilege and our honor to bring Heaven's civilization and culture to the Earth, and it is Grace that equips, empowers and qualifies us to do so.

A couple's desperation for a baby led them into the arms of unscrupulous fraudsters whose bogus herbal treatments convinced them their wish had finally been granted, a High Court judge has said.
The British couple still cannot accept that the baby girl they brought home from Nigeria in 2012 is not their own - although DNA tests have proved conclusively that they are not the natural parents.
A bogus doctor had fed the couple miraculous "herbs" - that mimicked the effects of pregnancy - and the "mother" had been drugged and put through a charade labour before holding what she believed to be her daughter in her arms.
The heartless scam tore apart the couple's lives and left the little girl "effectively an orphan" in London, with no prospect of ever learning who her real parents are and possibly facing a childhood in the British care system.
In a unique decision, family judge Mrs Justice Hogg has now cleared the "intelligent, educated, hard working" couple of social worker's accusations that they were knowing parties to the fraud.
She directed a further hearing to decide where the little girl's best interests lie. Her finding that the couple were innocent dupes will greatly improve their chances of persuading the court that the future of the girl - referred to in court only as 'A' - should be with them.
The judge said that, despite 10 years of trying surgery, laser treatment and IVF, the couple, both British citizens, had failed to conceive a child.
However, in 2010, the father bumped into a friend from university who told of a couple who had had twins after undergoing "some herbal treatment" in Nigeria.
Disheartened by science's failure to give them a child, the couple clutched at the chance and travelled to Nigeria where a Dr Cletus Okolo prescribed a course of herbal treatments he claimed would do the trick.
On returning to Britain and taking the herbs, the mother noticed her body changing. Her face, arms and abdomen all swelled up and even a "kindly and well-meaning" local GP was taken in, accepting that she was seven months' pregnant.
The doctor signed off a maternity certificate and the couple travelled back to Nigeria. At the clinic near Lagos, they handed over £4,500 and the mother was given a brown liquid to drink before entering what she thought was a delivery room.
The father waited in the corridor outside and, after few minutes, heard a baby cry. He entered the room to find the baby girl lying on the bed beside his groggy wife.
He was even duped into believing he had seen the umbilical cord cut and was given a placenta to carry away in a plastic bag.
After pocketing the couple's cash, Dr Okolo wrote: "Treatment successful, patient delivered of a baby girl. All fees paid. God's doing".
That was the only document that accompanied the birth and, when the couple flew home with their "daughter", social workers were quickly on the alert.
They were later arrested and the baby girl was taken into police protection. To the couple's "considerable dismay and shock", DNA testing proved that the little girl was not their child.
Having waited so long for a baby, the couple simply could not accept the truth. Far from seeing themselves as victims, they insisted that "the combination of spiritual and herbal treatments was so powerful as to be able to change DNA".
But the judge said: "There is no evidence before me to say that the result of the DNA testing was wrong or likely to be wrong. I do not accept the explanation of the parents.
"On that basis I have to accept the validity of the results and find that the baby is not the biological child of the putative parents".
Social workers from the London Borough of Hillingdon, as well as the child's court-appointed guardian, argued that the couple were 'knowing parties to an elaborate fraud and charade upon the British immigration authorities and now parties to an attempted fraud on the Court."
They said the couple's account of the birth was "littered with inconsistency" and implausibly embellished.
The judge conceded: "At first blush, the immediate reaction of the ordinary man on the proverbial Clapham omnibus would no doubt be, 'don't be daft, its a fraud, they knew it'".
However, noting the "enormous difficulty" the couple had had in conceiving a child, Mrs Justice Hogg took them at their word when they said they would 'never seek to buy a baby'.
She added: "Despite their education and intelligence, they are struggling with the result of the DNA test. Both of them say they still believe that A is their natural child.
"In the end, having considered all the evidence...I am driven to conclude that in some way they allowed themselves to be duped by fraudsters.
"They so much wanted a baby....they allowed themselves to fall under the spell of the herbalists, believing what was said to the mother and acting faithfully upon the instructions given to them.
"Contrary to the submissions of the local authority and guardian I do not find that the parents were wilfully and knowingly involved with or parties to a wrongful removal of A from her mother, or that they cynically 'bought' a baby".
The judge concluded: "What is clear to me, having found that she is not their biological child but the child of another mother and father, and having been removed from her mother very soon after her birth, is that A certainly is the victim of wrongdoing and illegality, and very possibly her mother as well.
"The fact remains that A is effectively an orphan. There is no-one in this country who has parental responsibility for her and no information as to her birth, parentage, or background".

Pakistan's banned militant outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban has confirmed the killing of its top commander Mullah Dadullah and about 20 of his followers in a NATO air strike inside Afghanistan.
Dadullah and his companions were killed after they returned to their Afghan hideout in Kunar province on Friday after carrying out raids in the Pakistani tribal region of Bajaur, a Taliban spokesman told reporters in the country's northwest.
Afghan officials and Taliban commanders said a US drone strike in a mountainous area of Kunar killed 19 militants including Dadullah and his deputy Abdul Rahman.
At least eight Afghan-based Pakistani militants were injured in the attack and taken to a hospital at Asadabad in Afghanistan.
This was the first drone strike reported in Kunar and Dadullah the first senior Pakistani militant commander to be killed in a drone strike within Afghanistan.
"Someone had planted a chip, usually used for spying on the mujahideen, near his compound that helped the drone track him down.
Maulvi Dadullah and his 12 bodyguards, including his deputy commander Abdul Rahman, were killed in the attack," a senior Pakistani Taliban commander from Bajaur told the media.
Dadullah was the head of the Taliban chapter in Bajaur Agency. He fled to Afghanistan with hundreds of militants after the Pakistan Army launched an operation in the tribal area last year.
Maulana Abu Bakr has been named the new chief of Bajaur Agency on the directives of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Hakimullah Mehsud, the spokesman said.
Dadullah belonged to the Mamond tribe in Damadola village in Pakistan, about 7 km from the Afghanistan border. He was a prayer leader in a village mosque and ran a shop in Inayat Killi area joining the Taliban. According to sources, Dadullah had a close association with senior members of Al Qaeda during 2003-07.
When he was appointed head of Taliban's Amar Bil Maroof (Vice and Virtue) Department, he imposed a ban on CD and cassette shops and declared that shaving beards was un-Islamic. He was later made head of a Darul Kafala (orphanage centre) run by the Taliban in Inayat Killi.
Dadullah had replaced Maulana Faqir Mohammad as the Taliban's Bajaur chief in 2010 before he moved to Afghanistan.
Chief Taliban spokesman Ihsanullah Ihsan said the militants would continue their campaign despite the loss of Dadullah.
"His death is a serious loss to us but he will always live in our hearts due to the sacrifices he rendered for the implementation of Shariah in Pakistan," he said.


text: The most acting I've ever done for someone was helping an old man walking under my umbrella through the street. I forgot to wear my coat so it was so cold but I still walk with him until going to his home. It was a long way because his house if far than my house and he is an old man so he walked really slow, but I didn't get impatient for my acting. I feel like I did a great thing in this life, I don't know why but I feel that I'm a kindness person at that time, the moment that old man smiled and said thank you to me.

Does Dietary Protein Impair Insulin Sensitivity?
2 comments:
Hey Steven,ReplyDelete
Nice commentary on the impact of high protein diets on insulin sensitivity. Could you maybe elaborate as to why high protein diets are biologically inappropriate for mice? I guess, we all know free living mice do not eat milk-derived protein. However, casein-derived diets with supplemental cystine are superior in terms of breeding performance. Of course this begs the question if our research diets are adequately desgined for metabolism research in total.
Hi Thomas, I'm basing this 'alternative explanation' on 2 things.Delete
1) That 40% fat diets reliably cause obesity, metabolic dysfunction, etc in mice but don't have the same effect in humans (e.g. the Mediterranean diet). It seems that unlike humans, mice may have a narrow range of macronutrient composition that they tolerate well and may not tolerate higher protein and fat since they largely eat plants (and therefore would be more genetically adapted to that).
2) While I wouldn't like to say definitively how high protein diets affect insulin sensitivity in humans, it seems like high protein diets have a different effect for mice vs. humans, so I need to reconcile these differences

From bigger brands to smaller start-ups
We work with household names and early-stage ventures from retail and food, to media and technology industries; and in different markets including the UK, Australia and the US. Each is in the 'business' of creating best-in-class experiences for children, young people and their families, and it's real privilege to work with them.
Yowie is an Australian confectionery and entertainment brand, currently taking America by storm and planning international growth. Before the brand hit shelves, we worked on developing a digital strategy for Yowie, moving on to build, connect and manage all of their digital touchpoints that had to be every bit as playful, educational and engaging as Yowie is offline.
We created a full portfolio of connected channels, including highly-rated apps for both iOS and Android, a gaming-based web-site YowieWorld.com and a spectrum of social media profiles. For over two years, we created content for Yowie across all touchpoints, ensuring that engagement remains consistent. Furthermore, our YouTubers outreach strategy helped deliver millions of video views to the brand – at no media cost.
Premier League set out to create a digital experience that will immerse young users into the 'beautiful game' and help promote the sport and the clubs to UK and international children audiences. This experience needed to engage and entertain, but also to promote football and provide knowledge of how Premier League works.
Building on the insights and experience we gained from working with Tottenham Turfies, the Premier League Kids site uses games, videos, and quizzes to engage and educate. We worked with Hangar Seven to build an HTML5 site, set in a virtual bedroom where kids can customise the room to reflect their team allegiances, as well earn points, trophies and more goodies for their room. Thoroughly researched and tested with children's audiences, the Premier League Kids has been delivering continued success.
Newsround is an enormously popular TV-format, but also one of UK's top web destinations for kids. Given that children's media habits are ever changing and evolving, we worked with the team over at CBBC to uncover key insights guiding kids' behaviour and help shape what Newsround will become in the next five years.
Using a variety of tested methodologies, including primary research with children and stakeholder interviews, we looked at ways Newsround can adapt to what the audience wants and will want in the future, so that it can keep being the destination that it is at the moment.
Because we are often involved in ideas right at their genesis we are restricted about what we can share, and the work we have done with BBC worldwide falls into this category. However, we can say we spent six months tearing apart the connected toy space, looking at the innovations that are driving this new cross-over genre of where physical products meet digital experiences.
We worked closely with the BBC's internal teams to create a suite of new consumer product ideas for their most high-profile brands. We prototyped and tested those ideas ensuring at the end the BBC had a collection of business cases, partner profiles and consumer feedback they could quickly and easily turn into an on the shelf product.
Working with RTE, Ireland's National Public Service Broadcaster, we were tasked with creating a safe and viable alternative to YouTube, to engage and thrill their young viewers. The solution had to seamlessly deliver RTE's children programming, but also to go beyond that and allow children to play games and quizzes and to interact with the RTE team, truly immersing themselves in the show beyond the TV screen.
We created an app that hosts videos, quizzes, photos and competitions. It features a seemingly infinite loop of content, to engage the target audience that, as we learned from research, believes that more is always better. The app fully integrates with the TV programming, and app users and their comments get featured on the television and their feedback and viewing patterns are analysed in order to produce more of the content they enjoy. 68% of app users gave it a five star rating – a result we are really proud of!
The team brought a great mix of strategic thinking combined with practical real-world understanding of our fundraising business that has allowed us to move a range of projects forward with astonishing speed.
I was very impressed with their ability to translate unique audience insights into strong commercial opportunities.
Little Big Partnerships are obsessed about delivering results and making a difference to their clients. High energy, high quality people with a passion for innovation sums them up

Good morning, Lord!
Thank you so much for helping me "sleep in" until after 4am!! Thank you for helping me finally get some good, solid sleep after almost 2 days without. And thank you for helping me get soooooo much work done during that time, actually making up for much of the time lost to problems with the PHP update and re-coding of some parts of my websites to "catch up" to that update! 🙂 Please help me to pace myself, not get too burned out or overly stressed or fatigued. Help me to enjoy my brother's visit and be able to relax and enjoy the BBQ and family time. Please bless each one of the people who are placing orders for extended memberships on my PrintableSpanish.com website during this last week — bless each one with peace and an increased measure of financial security. Part of me feels so bad for getting rid of my freebies and turning them into members-only materials, but I do know that I do need to "wise up" and charge money for my printables, and that it is TIME to do so, for I really need to buy a home — somewhere warm to sleep and work this winter! Still, Lord, I give it all to you. You are the one who actually provides. You can make it so that I have zero sales, or a thousand. Most likely, it will be far closer to the first than the second, lol. But no matter what, I can trust you that it will be ENOUGH. Thank you for caring so diligently for little me, faithful Shepherd! 🙂
Psalm 23 ERV
A song of David. The LORD is my shepherd. I will always have everything I need.
He gives me green pastures to lie in. He leads me by calm pools of water.
He restores my strength. He leads me on right paths to show that he is good.
Even if I walk through a valley as dark as the grave, I will not be afraid of any danger, because you are with me. Your rod and staff comfort me.
You prepared a meal for me in front of my enemies. You welcomed me as an honored guest. My cup is full and spilling over.
Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life, and I will live in the LORD'S house a long, long time.
Lord, I thank you for helping me recover from the devastation of this month, all the struggles and heartbreaks that seemed to heep upon each other, without adequate time to heal. Thank you for restoring my strength and guiding me forward through it all. Please bless each person who reads this blog with some special thing that only you can know that they need, Lord. Strengthen their hearts as well, and show them just how very REAL you are. Amen.

How to bring up car safety
My cousin took her 6 month old out of the infant car seat and into a forward facing convertible seat a couple weeks ago. Convertible seats are not often used for such young babies here but I know that's mostly about convenience of the infant car seat also being used to transport the baby. As far as I know the seats are good for a baby his weight and age (15 pounds, 6 months). BUT forward-facing... I can't even believe she would do that! Doesn't she know the risks if there was a collision? She lives about 20 minutes from town too so she is often on a 90km/h road and they are in the car a lot.

It's tough to know when an air conditioner will break, is on its last legs, or when it will completely become useless, but it's a very real possibility if you utilize an older air conditioner, especially one that's been around more than 10 years. It seems like normally, central air conditioners decide to stop operating when it's an inconvenience for you and that usually comes on one of the hottest days of the year – of course. Let's not forget that it ends up happening when you're expecting friends for the weekend or already have company staying with you. That's just how it goes, and the pros at Rolf Griffin Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning get that. If you need AC repair service in Fort Wayne right now, simply call us 24/7 at 260-557-1275.

Whether it results in routine air conditioner service or you end up needing a new air conditioning system, issues can begin to pile up, negatively impacting the efficiency and operation of your system. 2 Component failure When your air conditioner isn't operating efficiently, the compressor and fan controls can wear out, or several other important components may be impacted. When your system cycles on and off a lot there is unnecessary stress placed on these internal pieces, causing improper operation or premature failure. 3 Thermostat problems From a dead battery to a thermostat sensor that isn't calibrated correctly, there are a number of thermostat problems that can occur. If it has been a while since you last replaced your thermostat batteries, it could be time to do so in order to avoid any problems with the settings you have in place. 4 Condensation Your air conditioning unit will produce a large amount of condensation.

One of the great pleasures I derive from being a jeweler is the occasional new design project that involves an old piece of jewelry. In this case, grandmother's ring is being dismantled and the diamonds are to be used for a new set of wedding rings.
I recently met with a young couple that needed wedding bands for their August wedding. The groom to be had already given his fiancée a solitaire diamond engagemant ring. The bride to be had been given her grandmother's diamond wedding ring to be used for a new wedding band. The design challenge for me was to create a new band and to use most or all of the diamonds. Also, I would be providing a wedding band for the groom.
The engagement ring is a somewhat modern style of heavy round wire that wraps the finger, twists a bit and holds the diamond with two wide bezels. A standard flat band would not lie against the side evenly. I ruled out this option because over time the wear on the rings would be very uneven. Since wedding rings are worn together continuously for years, it is important when designing them to pay close attention to where the metal touches and how they nest together.
The solution was to make two diamond bands to be worn with the solitaire. There were enough stones to create a great look. And, it was decided that two small stones could be used in the groom's band too. I made two rings in wax then photgographed them with her ring.

Two years ago, I was accidentally bump into an antique camera store while doing street photography near Pasar Seni bus terminal in Kuala Lumpur (KL). The owner of the camera store is an old Chinese guy and by the moment we met, I have no issue at all with the guy, until … let me finished my story first. 🙂
Meanwhile, I was asking for the price of Helios 44m displayed in the window and he give me the price XXX RM for the lens. There were two copies of the lens that time, so he was asking which one do I want. So I pointed to one of them (since they both at the same price), and then he offer me to get the lens with original classic UV filter that comes with the lens but I need to top up for another XX RM.
I ask him that can he give me the filter for the same price (for free)? Here's comes the funny part, he give me the filter and he took out the lens rear cap and then I like, what?! Wait a minute, why do you took the rear cap? He answered, so what do you want? do you want the rear cap or the filter? I feel that he's a bit rude that time, so I told him that, let me get the initial offer, XXX RM for the lens (and all the cap) without UV filter. No more words, after transaction complete, I immediately get out of his store.
Anyway, the lens has been with me more that two years. I was using this lens with micro four thirds adapter for my Olympus E-M1 and when I switch from micro four thirds system to Fujifilm X-T1 I still keep the lens and I bought conversion adapter from X-Mount to M42. Fast forward to this week, I just received my conversion adapter for M42 to Sony E Mount, because I have switched (again) to A7R. (my first journey in digital full frame format).
Yesterday, I was joined a photoshoot event in KL (although, it's been long time I didn't do this) to see how my A7R and this Helios 44m lens combined and I'm quite satisfied. Yes, I completely aware that the lens is a bit tricky to get really sharp focus on f/2 but you may consider that whoever buy this lens is not for sharpness, but it's for artistic effect that this lens delivered.
I was blown-out, with the result from the event and give me more confident that this lens is really capable to produce interesting portrait image. The lens "bokeh" characteristic is interesting but for some people they might found it a little bit disturbing.
The lens is soft in the corner and not really sharp in the center, but minimal adjustment can be done in post processing to increase the sharpness. All image you see here is (minimum) edited using Capture One.
Is it swirly or simply disturbing? Well, the famous copy of this lens is Helios 44m-2 and mine is the first generation (without -2). But I'm lucky enough to test both of them (my colleague in the office bought the second generation) and I found out that the color rendering for the first generation is more saturated and the second generation is sharper. It's a matter of taste but I prefer the first generation.
When I used the lens with micro four thirds body, it's more difficult to get the swirly effect because crop factor (x2) of the sensor. Micro four thirds sensor could only accept light from the center of the lens, so the swirly effect from the side or corner of the lens not rendered. The good thing about that is, the image will look sharper because only the center of the lens that being used by crop sensor. The bad thing, no swirly bokeh because the corner is cropped.
I would recommend this to anyone that looking for "cheap" budget and artistic lens. In my case, the sharpness of the lens improve because the sensor megapixels in my camera is 36 MP, that is affecting the overall Perpetual-Mega Pixel of the lens.
Last but not least, big thanks to Harris Daniel for your invitation to the event. Thank you Thalia (sorry I don't have her profile link) for talent and Kartini Ishak for make up artist. Feel free to ask me on comment form below if you have any question regarding my experience in using A7R and Helios 44m. Thank you guys and see you soon …

Hand Batik and Waxed Papers
On a recent visit to the town of Nizza Monferrato, I found a lovely shop called Giorgio, started by a restoration expert named, well, Giorgio.
He has all kinds of interesting things in there, and my eyes fell immediately on these gorgeous hand batik papers, partially treated with beeswax.
I've framed them up. I think they work beautifully with my own art!

A wide array of users may be set up in Qvinci so that the account may be effectively managed. Only one Administrator may exist, but multiple levels of managerial users and report viewing-only users may be configured. Users can more easily be understood when broken down in the following groups:
- Account level verses Non-Account level users
- Management verses Non-Management users
- Portal access verses Non-Portal access users
Account Level Users
The Administrator, Leaders and Account Staff are account-level users.
- The Administrator and Leaders are account-level users who exist at the top level of the application and are able to see all Client Companies, all Entities and all Reports that are shared. The Admin and Leaders may create new Client Companies and Entities, add new users and perform other management level tasks. These users also have Portal access and templating/publishing capabilities.
Note: By default, Leaders do not have billing access in Qvinci. However, the Admin may contact Qvinci Support to enable billing level tasks for Leaders in their account. Billing access is necessary in order to add additional licenses to your account.
- Account Staff users have no administrative access. They are view-only in nature, but across the entire Account. The Account Staff user does have Portal access.
Management Level Users
The Admin, Leaders and (Client) Managers are users with management level access in Qvinci.
- The Administrator and Leaders are account-level users who exist at the top level of the application and are able to create new Client Companies, purchase inventory for new Entities, create new Entities, manage all users and invite new users. These management level users have Portal access and templating/publishing capabilities too.
- Client Managers are not account level users but are granted management access at the Client Company level. A Client Manager may manage multiple Client Companies as well. This means that a Client Manager may add users at lower permission tiers to Client Companies, may template/publish reports to lower permission tier users and may create new Entities (should inventory exist). A Client Manager also has Portal access, but only to the Client Companies and Entities they are added to.
Other Users
The Account Staff, Client Staff, Company Viewer, Entity Viewer and Entity Syncer have no management access in Qvinci; however some of these users have higher levels of visibility than others.
- Account Staff is a user set at the Account level. If multiple Clients/Companies exist inside the Qvinci account then this type of user has dynamic access to view all Clients/Companies. This user has report viewing access and Portal access, but cannot create templates to be shared. This user does dynamically see all Locations that are added inside every Client/Company.
- Client Staff is a user set at the Client/Company level. If multiple Clients/Companies exist inside the Qvinci account this user must be specifically added to each Client/Company in order for visibility as they do not have dynamic visibility to the entire account. This user has report viewing access and Portal access, but cannot create templates to be shared. This user does dynamically see all Entities that are added inside the Client/Company.
- Company Viewer is a user set at the Client/Company level. This user is very similar to the Client Staff except this user lacks visibility to the Portal.
- Entity Viewer is a user who is added to an individual reporting Entity. This user may see and report upon a specific Entity(s) of a single Client/Company, or may be added to multiple Entities. However this user does not dynamically see all Entities in a Client/Company. This user has no Portal access either.
- Entity Syncer is the user who is assigned to create and maintain the link between the accounting file and the Qvinci Entity for reporting purposes. There may only be one Entity Syncer assigned per Entity. The Entity Syncer user may also be assigned a higer permission level for reporting or management purposes as well. However, if this user is only assigned as an Entity Syncer then they do have report viewing access on the individual Entities they have been assigned to.
How Do I:
Create Client / Company Level Users

Using a paint brush as an eyeliner brush
I was prowling around Cziplee+ and came across some high-quality paint brushes. As I was looking for a good eyeliner brush I decided to give this one a try. It only cost RM8.50 but the handle is so ridiculously long I had to use a pair of garden shears to chop off a length (just after the words).
It's actually made a pretty good eyeliner brush only, and I never though I'd say this, it's too fine! It's firm enough, holds its shape beautifully and applies eyeliner evenly but as it's so fine it can be rather pointy. A slightly longer (not fatter) rounded tip would make this perfect. I'm going to go back and look for it. Whee!
Do you use art brushes to apply makeup?

i'm not sure if anyone else does this but i actually use a cotton bud from time to time - and it does work pretty well (especially if you are going for the smudged effect - not to mention it's easier to control than a brush). also, no cleaning of brush afterwards! only thing is, the cotton bud seems to take up more product than a brush so maybe there's some wastage there. also, i feel like i'm killing the environment whenever i use anything disposable, so that's that.

Nikki: Have you tried really high-end art supply shops?
the-stars-say: I use cotton buds to smudge out harsh lines. can't say I use them as applicators! I may in a pinch now thanks to your tip. =)
connie: Where'd you get them? Which ones? Have you done a post on them?

PARIS: STMicroelectronics expects improved profitability in 2016 after the Franco-Italian chipmaker reported higher third-quarter sales and profits helped by strong demand for smartphones and other connected items that use sensors.
STM has struggled to recover from an unsuccessful venture with mobile telecoms equipment maker Ericsson and with margins under pressure in an ever-more competitive chip market.
It has cut jobs and reorganised itself this year.
The company's board is also looking to replace long-time chief executive Carlo Bozotti, whose contract expires in May 2017.
"Demand is currently strong in the smartphone market and we continue to see positive trends in automotive and industrial," Bozotti said in a written statement.
The company, which makes chips for the Apple's iPhone 7, benefits from growing smartphone sales.
Smartphone shipments reached a quarterly record of 380 million units for the three months that ended Sept. 30, up 5 percent from a year earlier, according to research company Counterpoint.
About 80 percent of the mobile phones shipped are now smartphones, Counterpoint said.
The growing demand for chips and sensors in connected cars and connected objects are also positive trends for STMicro, its CEO said.
Its third-quarter net revenue rose by 5.5 percent quarter on quarter to $1.80 billion, in line with a Reuters poll. The gross margin for the period stood at 35.8 percent, in line with the company's targets.
The group's midpoint gross margin target for the fourth-quarter quarter is about 37 percent. Fourth-quarter net revenue is expected to increase by 3.2 percent from the third quarter, according to the midpoint of its target range.
STMicro said in January that it planned to cut 1,400 jobs and close its loss-making set-top box business.
The chipmaker took $28 million in restructuring charges in the first quarter as part of the job-cutting plan.
STMicro aims at generating $170 million in annual savings once the plan is completed.
