The movie Almost Famous told the story of a teenaged boy who somehow managed to convince Rolling Stone magazine that he was a rock and roll writer.
Sometimes art does imitate life more than once because that scenario also actually happened to the Swedish writer Dan T. Sehlberg.
"I've always been some kind of a storyteller," he says. So perhaps it's not a surprise that as a precocious 14-year-old rock fan, Sehlberg, wanting to meet his musical heroes, convinced a major Swedish music magazine that he could get them an interview with the rock band Motley Crue, in Stockholm on tour. An editor, perhaps amused by the bravado of the young boy, got him credentials and before he knew it, young Sehlberg was talking to the band. It was an unusual introduction to a writing career but, in fact, Sehlberg, as a teenager, went on to write more articles for the magazine. He was also playing music itself in high school bands.
But Sehlberg is more than that. He has also built a business career and even earned an MBA. Sehlberg, who turns 45 this year, is an entrepreneur who has own company.
But he is more than that today. He is the latest Scandinavian writer to step on the world stage with a massively successful debut novel. He is a meticulous researcher who cares greatly about the pacing and rhythm of a text. This goes some way to explaining why it took him about three years to write his latest book.
Mona is a story about a computer virus launched in revenge by Hezbollah that infects a human and also takes down the Israeli economy. The book, published in Swedish in 2013, was sold at the massive Frankfurt book fair and has now been translated into English. It's been optioned in Hollywood by a well-known director. A sequel, Sinon, has just been finished and will be published in the relatively near future.
The seed of the idea for Mona was planted in the mid-1990s when Sehlberg was working in new media for Sweden's largest daily newspaper Aftonbladet. The first computer viruses were emerging and he began to speculate about whether one could somehow infect a human. That lead to a short story which, in turn, led, in 2010, to the novel. Three years later, it was published.
"I always wanted to write a novel. I started in different types of novels throughout my teenage years, but it never really worked out. Because the newspaper was into new media, all the high tech companies sent us stuff and one day a company sent a stupid little game of ping pong. What was interesting was how you controlled the game. This was 1995, and you controlled it by brain waves. Everybody wanted to try it. Then the computer driving the game was hit by a computer virus."
The book, a blend of science fiction and thriller, has also landed as the idea of cyber warfare is front and centre in the world media.
The prescient book has Sehlberg on a wild ride, but he seems to be enjoying it immensely. At least that's how he sounded during a phone conversation from Stockholm.
Now he's on his way to Canada for a whirlwind book tour put together by publisher House of Anansi. He'll be at the Ottawa Public Library's main branch on June 9 with two other writers from Scandinavia.
Sehlberg, and his confreres, are part of an onslaught of bestselling thrillers and mysteries from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, that rivals, in print at least, the Viking invasions of old. The concept of "snow noir" has become very much a publishing phenomenon. Works by writers like Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson are sold around the world.
That has led, Sehlberg says, to the publishing of some books that aren't just the best. It's seems like every Tom, Dick and Gustav has a book and every one is getting published. The deluge may end up being bad news for Scandinavian literature, he says. But for now, he's going with the flow.
Sehlberg says he thinks snow noir is flourishing because these books have well developed, interesting and even unique characters. All you really need to recall is Larsson's Girl With a Dragon Tattoo, Lisbeth Salander, to acknowledge this comment's accuracy.
Sehlberg says that something else about Scandinavia supplies inspiration — the long, dark, lonely, isolating winter. That's when Swedes, Finns, Danes and Norwegians are indoors and removed from their neighbours. In the summer they emerge and mingle with society, but that long isolation leaves a mark. It seems to force introspection and contemplation — and then action at the keyboard.
"We also have a tradition of storytelling. You go way back to the Vikings and their tales. It's a dark country, a cold country and somebody will switch off the lamp again."
Sehlberg also notes that there is an upsurge in thriller and mystery writing in countries like France and Germany. As a result snow noir is part of a worldwide explosion in these kinds of books.
Funnily, Sehlberg doesn't read snow noir. He likes, for example, Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch and John Fowles' The Magus.
Dan T. Sehlberg (House of Anansi)
In town: The author will appear with fellow writers Thomas Ender (Pierced) and Jakob Melander (The House that Jack Built) are at the Ottawa Public Library, main branch, June 9 at 7 p.m. The event is free.

Featuring newly developed memory technology, Panasonic's affordable E-Series P2 memory cards provide faster, superior quality recording for an average of five years (with normal operation).
Unlike other disc-based or solid-state recording systems, P2 cards are a high-speed bit bucket, offering high-quality video recording and optimum flexibility, including:
The reusable 32GB E-Series P2 card offers recording of video, audio, and metadata in any environment, even in challenging conditions of extreme temperature range, shock, and vibration. Its memory recording structure enables transfer of recorded content at faster speeds (up to 1.2Gbps) than professional solid-state memory cards offered by other manufacturers. This super-fast 1.2Gbps transfer speed means you can edit, archive and complete your project faster than ever. Typical real-world results: Since the P2 HD transfer speed is 8:1, you can transfer a full 16GB E Series card with at least 16 minutes of P2 HD video in under two minutes, and a full 32GB E Series card with at least 32 minutes of P2 HD video in less than four minutes.
When shooting with one 16GB E Series card in AVC-Intra 100 1080/24p, the P2 HD transfer speed is 10:1, which means 20 minutes of recorded HD video transfers in under two minutes. And when shooting with one 16GB E Series card in DVCPRO HD/AVC-Intra 100/ 720/24p, the P2 HD transfer speed is 20:1, which allows you to transfer 40 minutes of recorded video in under 2 minutes. These transfer speeds were documented when tested on both a Mac Pro Tower with Dual Quad Intel Xeon and a Dual Core PC (each with an internal SATA RAID), utilizing the Panasonic AJ-PCD35 five-slot P2 drive.
Like all of Panasonic's P2 solid-state memory cards, the 32GB E-Series card is built with an aluminum diecast casing, providing exceptional durability compared to plastic-based memory cards.
E-Series P2 cards are reusable for up to five years when recorded on once daily, at full capacity (100%); when used at half capacity (50%), the cards will continue to record for up to 10 years. A notification is given (in the camcorder's LCD/viewfinder or the card reader's display) as the card approaches the end of its life cycle. Details of the card's life can also be displayed on a computer using P2 Formatter software, a free download available in the P2 Support section.
Recording time on a single 32GB P2 card:
The new E Series P2 cards are designed to work with all P2 camcorders and recorders. A free, downloadable E Series firmware upgrade is required for optimum performance. The E Series firmware upgrade is not required for the following camera models: VariCam 3700 (AJ-HPX3700), VariCam 2700 (AJ-HPX2700), AJ-HPX3000, AJ-SPX800, AJ-SPC700 and AJ-SPD850.
Please note: E Series P2 cards usage will require an AJ-PCD35 P2 Drive firmware upgrade, as well a P2 computer driver upgrade (MAC / Windows).

Physical therapy for busy women entrepreneurs: great exercises, stretches and shoe selection tips to keep you going strong.
1 month ago
This morning, I was on the phone with one of the most dynamic women I've ever met. We were talking about a joint venture based on her initial success with clients of a particular product she launched. She then uttered the words that I've heard time and time again from women, including myself: "I'm just not sure that I'm credible enough yet to lead this. Have I done enough in the industry to show that I'm the right person to do it?"

I overheard one of the attendees of my July networking event, exclaiming this statement. I had to laugh. It was as if she was proclaiming her need to do something as banal as "do pushups" or "do laundry."

A bit dissapointing
by >madhvi13 on Thu Aug 21 11:36:20 IST 2014
We were here in end June for my mothers birthday - so spent 3 nights and booked their all inclusive package. I was confused between Fort Aguada and the Village. Opted for the village as have stayed here before and because it used to have access to the beach. The good - The property is lovely, the rooms are spacious (we stayed at the Premium Temptation Villa) and comfortable. The pool is great and one can lounge there and look at the sea. The staff are friendly. The Disappointing bits - End june is hot and muggy, their main coffee shop/restaurant is open to the elements and has no air conditioning and inadequate fans/coolers for a place that size. As a result - it was torturous to sit there and have our meals (breakfast/lunch). The food was also disappointing and the service a bit slow. There is no access to the beach from the property. I am not sure whether this is always the case or if it had to do with the season. Overall - The place is lovely but super crowed at this time of the year, especially during weekends. The food at Fort Aguada is a lot better (their sea food restaurant as well as their Italian place) and after the first day, we went there to eat our dinners and went outside to eat lunch. I have stayed at the village before in January and at that time, thanks to the weather and fewer crowds it was a great place to unwind in. However, next time I am going to stay at Fort Aguada - great views, great food and cooler (temperature wise). The main reason for rating this stay as average - that as a Taj property and given their rates - the food needs to be better and there is no excuse for not having adequate coolers/fans.Read More

The situation has apparently arisen through an unusual constitutional loophole that means the Prince must be consulted when legislation might affect his interests. It is not known if the Prince ever exercised this right and whether laws were changed with his input.
It appears to be another one of the strange quirks of the UK's so-called "unwritten constitution" — a mish mash of laws rather than a single written document. While the Queen is required to give "Royal assent" to new laws, that act is a formality. However, Prince Charles' veto is a separate power, and it is unclear at present how he uses it.

Got this one from my buddy Dustin (JohnQVegas) down in Nashville.
Reviewed from audio notes taken last night.
Poured into a Goblet.
Pours a pretty hazy, slightly toasted golden color with a white head and decent lacing that clings long enough to be noticed, and then *poof* he's gone. Back into the body of the beer quickly and quietly-- like Kaiser Soce. The head fades quickly to a small wispy could of bubbles.
Smells of fresh grass and citrus fruits maybe lemon. A definite grainy rye presence and a peppery spiciness. The taste is in line with the nose... The finish has a dry and refreshing quality that makes you want another sip and yet feel that you r thirst has been quenched at the same time.
Very light body with plenty of carbonation that really makes this smooth. All in all-- very nice little saison. I could certainly see myself drinking a few in warmer weather and feeling quite good about it.

Brewed for their 5th anniversary and released as part of their Brewmasters Collection.
A - Very cloudy brownish-orange in color. Thick, foamy off-white head with decent retention and excellent lacing. Very active carbonation rising to the top.
S - Very tart, fruity aroma. Lemon zest, banana, and a light spicy hint of rye. This is a very sour beer in the nose.
T - A little light in the mouth initially with a sweet fruitiness up front. A tart lemon zest quickly comes in and dominates the profile. Some graininess lingers underneath. I can tell their is some rye in it, but I am not sure I would have picked out the taste if it was not advertised in the name. The sourness really dominates and it is a lovely domination.
M/D - Light to medium bodied with some grainy chewiness. Very crisp in the feel and very easy drinking. The sourness and tartness are very much present but are not mouth shattering.

12oz bottle into a pint glass.
A very careful pour yields a huge 4 finger billowy head. Body is slightly hazy and dark gold. Tons of carbonation bubble rising up.
The nose is very yeasty and has some peaches and lemon. A touch of barnyard funk but it is very faint.
The taste is very fruity with peaches, apples, lemon, and orange. There is a little syrupy sweetness on the tip of the tongue that is a little distracting. The taste becomes drying as it progresses but there is still that little bit of residual sweetness left.
I like very dry saisons and this one is just a little too sweet. The flavors are decent but overall feel is off. Anyhow, it is a pretty good thirst quencher and a refreshing beer.

Out of the flight from a fresh tap at the brewery. This beer is an orange copper color with a semi-thick head that fades fast but leaves rings of creamy lace. The smell is of spicy rye, black pepper, banana and clove with some citrusy tones and sour esters. The taste was spicy dominated with the rye, notes of chocolate, black pepper and full of estery belgian yeast phenols like banana and clove. Great balance between the sweet banana, peppery cloves and chocolate notes. This was my favorite beer at the brewery. The mouthfeel was like most, a bit thin. There was a slight creamy edge. Overall a very enjoyable and easy to drink beer.

Hazy deep gold with 1.5 finger light cream head. Faint retention. Thick, sparse lace.
Lemongrass dominates the nose. Nice citrus lemon bite.
Surprisingly sweet up front, with a dry middle, and a little lemony sweetness in the finish. No sourness whatsoever. Gets a little tart at the bottom.
Feel is creamy with a touch of syrup, perhaps a little more syrup than I would like.
For a farmhouse style, this is very easy to drink. The lack of sour in the profile makes it easy to drink more than one.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with a tremendous head that lasts for quite a while...
Aromas of Belgian yeast, some faint hops, a little funk, and some sourness... Smells a lot like Duvel, which is a good thing... There's some funkiness to this one...
Lovely sweet crisp fruity funky deliciousness here... Yazoo did an awesome job with this brew... I'm voting for making this one a year round offering or at least a summer seasonal... Its terrific..
This is a damn good offering from Yazoo here... I was pleasantly surprised with this one...

Recevied this brew from ckeegan04 for winning our BA College Bowl Pick'em pool. This will most definitely be my first brew from Yazoo and probably Tennessee. I like beers with Rye in them but it has to be in moderation. Too much really screws the beer up. Drank from my Ithaca Excelsior tulip.
Appearance- Pours a semi hazy yellowish orange with a nice half fingered head that recedes fairly slowly. A fabulous cap and collar remain and not a whole lot of lacing.
Smell- Slightly funky (if that's the right term, maybe dirty would be more accurate) from a light bit of Farmhouse yeast. I don't get much in the terms of spice other than maybe a bit of candied orange peel or ginger. Very slightly sweet with a bit of doughy wheat that seems raw and slightly astringent. Not an overly complex nose but nice none-the-less.
Taste- Wow! Starts with a slight bit of tart that is reminiscent of green apples. I'm not real sure what it's from but it's nice and unexpected. Sort of a lemon peel type tartness, light and nice. Some peppery like spice that seems to be from actual spices, not the Rye. Honestly that's perfect IMO. I like the Rye to be more noticeable on burps than the beer. As it warms some light banana and MAYBE a bit of clove makes an appearance. That slight tartness dominates though and lingers throughout the finish.
Mouthfeel- Fairly light and crisp with a nice sharp bite from the carbonation.
Drinkability- I'm not real sure where this beer stands as a solid Saison to the style police but I know it's freaking tasty as hell. I can't figure out if the tartness is just some astringency or something else. Really interesting and tasty beer and I much thanks to ckeegan04!

Bottle into Sam Adams sensory glass.
Pours dark straw-gold, just a bit of orange, almost clear with just a bit of haze and a full one-finger fluffy white head that lasts a long time. Tons of effervescence. Solid lacing and nice retention of the cap. I can't imagine this beer looking any better.
Nose is a nice mix of over-ripe golden fruit and peppery spiciness. Some almost tropical fruit mixes with a lightly pungent yeast note.
Taste is nice as well - up front, more ripe fruit mixes up with a firm farmhouse pungent funkiness. Lightly peppery, with the rye adding a bit of spicy richness to the dryish malt body. Really interesting use of rye - this one definitely grew on me. Very tasty.
Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied, maybe a bit sticky, with a light but coarse carbonation. I wish this one was just a bit lighter. Drinkability is nice, but hurt a bit by the heavy mouthfeel. Satisfying in its complexity and refreshing though.

Many thanks to ckeegan04 for hooking me up with a trade for this and many many others. I have been fixin' to brew a rye saison and wanted to get an example of the style...and there you have it. Get to check out Yazoo offerings for the first time as well as a bonus. Bottle date looks like the last week of December. This one hits the Ommegang chalice with authori-ty.
Pours a classic hazy light honey/yeast color. Faint bluish wisps of head up top. For the minimal head room it does leave a bit of lacing. Body is a bit on the cloudy side.
The rye coats the olfactory like a flannel sheet...it's warming but by no means heavy. There's a slight dry champagne scent along with the soothing farmhouse yeast electricity.
Taste profile is quite sounds...lots of good kosher rye notes with the expected dry texture. Slight champagne notes persist along with a little latent funkiness. This is straightforward enough to serve as a great gateway saison to noobs to the style but it has more than enough character to please the seasoned (saison'd?!) vets as well. Yeast electricity persists along with the rawness of the grains and just a slight hint of piney hoppiness.
Palate feel is slightly warm and tart. Maybe not as spritely as a traditional saison but it plays nicely. Again, the accessibility quotient is quite high. Finish may be slightly acidic at times with a hint of sourness; the rye definitely adds a little meat on the bone.
I lament that I only have another bottle of this. At the same time I am extremely grateful to Chris for hooking me up with this deal. It drinks well and has a little sumpm for everyone in it. Rye is wicked underrated as an ingredient and Yazoo did it right with this one.

Freshness: Bottled the 4th week of March, 2011
Packaging: 12 oz. brown bottle
Glassware: Tulip
Purchased: 4-pack from Frugal MacDoogal, Nashville
This clear beer is a bright, light copper color with a creamy head of 2 fingers. Lacing is fair and there are lots of bubbles in the glass.
Nice, strong Belgian yeast aromas of grass and hay, with a sweet bready compliment. Taste is spicy and dry, from the hops and rye malts. Has a nice tartness and warming as well.
A highly carbonated beer, with a light, dry body. Finishes with spiciness and bitterness.
Not my favorite from Yazoo, but a solid spring seasonal I'll look for next year.

BRIMPAEN Fire Brigade is calling for donations for a new fire truck.
The Country Fire Authority sets a 25-year use-by date for trucks. One of Brimpaen's trucks is older than that.
Brimpaen captain Rod Miller said the nature of the brigade's surrounds meant it was crucial for fire-fighting resources to be at full strength.
"We have one of the biggest brigade areas south of Horsham and we are in a bad fire zone – that's for sure – so we do need the extra truck," he said.
"The CFA has a use-by date on the trucks so when they're 25 years old they have to be replaced. If anything goes wrong after that, we have to foot the bill."
Mr Miller said the brigade hoped for money from the State Government's Victorian Emergency Services Equipment Program.
One of the program's priorities is the replacement of aged fire-fighting appliances.
"Aside from the grant if we're successful, we have to raise about $12,000 in donations," he said.
Mr Miller joined the CFA 27 years ago at the age of 14.
He said the 55,100-hectare Grampians bushfire in January was the worst he had seen.
"I was away on holidays and I got back on the Thursday, there was another lightning strike at Glenisla," Mr Miller said.
"By midnight they had called us up to Brimpaen because all hell had broken loose.
"Hopefully we don't see a fire like it again."
The brigade has had a rich history since its inception in 1939.
After registering with the CFA in 1945, it bought an ex-army blitz truck.
Many vehicles and fires later, Mr Miller said he hoped people would support the brigade to continue its long association with the community.
"There will be a fundraising letter sent to residential and non-residential property owners asking for donations," he said.
He said donations could be made by calling Brimpaen brigade secretary-treasurer Andrew Chincarini on 0427 972 271 or sent directly to 1085 Henty Highway, Brimpaen 3401.

Fred Francis Bosworth (January 17, 1877 – January 23, 1958) was an American evangelist, an early religious broadcaster, and a 1920s and Depression-era Pentecostal faith healer who was later a bridge to the mid-20th century healing revival. He was born on a farm near Utica, Nebraska and was raised in a Methodist home. His Methodist experiences also included salvation at the age of 16 or 17, and a spontaneous healing from major lung problems a couple years later. Bosworth's life after that was one that followed Christian principles, though his church affiliation changed several times over the years. Several years after his healing he attended Alexander Dowie's church in Zion City, Illinois, then came into Pentecost and attended Pentecostal services. Most of his later ministry was associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance church.
When Bosworth came into a Pentecostal experience in 1906, he had an intense desire to preach the gospel, leaving his business pursuits and stepping out in faith for his subsistence. Approximately 1909 he moved to Texas, and in 1910 he started a church in Dallas which was loosely affiliated with the Alliance church. He was one of the founders of the Assemblies of God in 1914 and was with them until 1918 when he had a disagreement on the initial evidence of the baptism with the Holy Spirit and withdrew. He then started another church in Dallas, affiliating with the Alliance church again, and his revival meetings in the 1920s were sponsored by the Christian and Missionary Alliance church. During the 1920s he was known for his "big tent revival" and large auditorium meetings and his advocacy of faith healing, with people from all denominations attending. He was with the Alliance church until around 1934, then affiliated with them again in 1944. Starting around 1930 he began one of the early successful gospel radio ministries. Today he is best known for his book Christ the Healer which went through 7 editions in his lifetime and now has over 500,000 copies in print.
F. F. Bosworth was one of five children, grew up living on prairies in Nebraska in a devout Methodist home, and appears to have had a normal childhood. His father was a Civil War veteran (part of an Illinois company), who would have moved to Utica Nebraska some time after the Civil War was over, but before F. F. Bosworth was born. When F. F. Bosworth was about 8 or 9 years old he accompanied his father to a soldier's reunion, where he first saw a cornet being played. Bosworth had been given a baby pig by his uncle, he raised it, traded a couple of animals, and was eventually able to trade for a cornet of his own. From that point he worked on becoming a self-taught musician. One source says he began playing in the juvenile village band, then played in the senior village band. When Bosworth was around 10 or 11 years old, his parents moved from Utica to University Place, Nebraska (an educational place for the Methodists in the region), Bosworth became a member of the local band, eventually becoming good enough to be a member with a leading part in the Nebraska state band and to play for the local literary societies. At the start of the summer of 1893, at the age of 16, he left home.[1]
In late 1893 or early 1894, while at a visit in Omaha, he attended a revival meeting with female friend, she convinced him to become born again. He later described the experience as joyful.[2] and the book "Fred Francis Bosworth - His Life Story"[1]
Bosworth initially developed lung problems when he was 10 or 11 years old, shortly after his parents moved to University Place, Nebraska. This occurred when he got overheated in a hot room helping with a friend's operation, then went to the cold outside and got a chill. The lung problems continued for the next eight years,[1][2][3] getting significantly worse when he was a young man (age 18 or 19), when the doctors diagnosed tuberculosis and said that he would soon die. Bosworth then went from Nebraska to his parents' new home in Fitzgerald Georgia for a last visit and arrived in a near-death state. While there he attended a religious meeting and was approached by an older Methodist "Bible woman" who "used to walk the hills of Georgia and the Carolinas selling Bibles and preaching the gospel." The account written by Bosworth's son in a later printing of "Christ the Healer" says: "She prayed for him, he got up, and he was instantly healed."[4] Another account, published many years earlier, adds further details to this healing. It says "Miss Perry told him how lovingly ready God was to make him well ... and laying her hands on him she prayed that he might be healed. From that self-same hour Fred began to mend, until, ere many days, his lung trouble was already a thing of the past."[1]
Around 1895, after Bosworth had left home, his parents moved from Nebraska to Fitzgerald, Georgia, where a Union Soldiers colony had been started.[5] In late 1895 or early 1896 Bosworth's health was rapidly growing worse and the lung problems, which began shortly after his family moved to University place (eight years before), were getting worse. Doctors said he did not have long to live, so he took what he though would be his final trip to see his parents. His mother nurtured his health back to a point where he could get around, and he later claimed to have been miraculously healed at a religious meeting in Fitzgerald. According to Joybringer Bosworth, after his healing Bosworth became an active member of the community in Fitzgerald, buying then operating a barber shop for some time, working assistant postmaster for over a year (less than two years), then he was elected as City Clerk (a position he held for two years). In Fitzgerald he married at the age of 23 (his wife was the daughter of another Civil War veteran), and right after he was married he ran afoul of local politics by supporting someone else who was running on a prohibition platform, resulting in his not being re-elected as City Clerk at an election held shortly after his marriage. After this he became a bookkeeper, then a teller, at the new bank in the city, then worked for a mercantile company owned by the bank. In Fitzgerald, Bosworth had begun and directed a band, and had gained the respect of the band members to the extent that they tried to apply Bosworth's values to their lives.[1][2]
A year or so after they were married, after seeing copies of Dowie's newsletter, Bowsorth and his wife moved to Zion, Illinois (then called Zion City), a newly formed town which was started as a place where religious values could be applied in the community as well as the home. Prior to moving to Zion City he had given up operating his band because some of the situations created conflicts with his beliefs. When he went to Zion City, he began to play his cornet again, this time in John Alexander Dowie's church, where he was soon made the band director. It appears that he first met John G. Lake at Zion City, and it is possible that Bosworth was the minister Lake had ministered with in Indiana before after Lake left Zion, before he went to South Africa (the timing of both of them ministering in Indiana coincides). Through the influence of Dowie's writing and preaching (which they had read and begun to follow before their moves), Parham's presentation of Pentecostalism (which included divine healing), their own private study of the Scriptures, and their own personal experiences involving divine healing,[1][2] the two both began to learn about and practice divine healing. It was at Zion that both Bosworth and Lake first came to a Pentecostal experience, and it was from Zion that they both began their eventual ministries.[1] While one recent theologian, in providing a background on Bosworth, commented that Bosworth and Parham were "soon acting as competitors for the hearts and minds of the city,"[6] this does not appear to be supported by any of the contemporary accounts. No dispute or contention is mentioned in Parham's biography,[7] in any biographical material on Bosworth,[1][2] or in the book which summarizes the events in Zion.[8] To the contrary, it appears that Bosworth fully cooperated with Parham, and that it was Voliva (who ran the City after Dowie's demise) who competed for the minds of the people. The available documents show that Bosworth was one of half a dozen people whose homes became meeting places for the early Pentecostal believers, that Bosworth was referred to as their "bandmaster"[8] (not as a preacher), and Bosworth was not viewed as a threat by Voliva (shown by the lack of character slurs in the local paper).[9] Bosworth was at the time growing in his ministry, beginning with personal witnessing, then doing evangelistic work with another experienced minister, before stepping out into his own independent ministry.
After embracing Pentecostalism, Bosworth went through a number of trials that helped form his character.[10] He started by leaving his business ventures and stepped out in faith with no financial backing, creating times when needs were supplied at the last moment.[1] He immediately began by getting a job selling pens, using this as an opportunity to testify.[8] By early 1907 he was on the field working with another minister,[8] and his first article telling of meetings he was holding was published in the Latter Rain Evangel in 1908. In 1911 he responded to a call to preach at a brush arbor in Texas, and was badly beaten up by a couple of groups who felt he had crossed racial barriers....".[1][11] He started a church in Dallas and the trials continued. Even though he was preaching divine healing, his young son died, and later (in 1919) his wife also died, apparently as a result of overwork, then influenza, and finally pneumonia.[1]
After his wife's death, Bosworth went into full-time evangelism, and several years later he married again.[1]
In 1906, while still in Zion, Bosworth embraced Pentecostalism in meetings with Pentecostal pioneer, Charles Parham. The Pentecostal message met resistance from the administration at in Zion City, making it so community facilities were not available for holding meetings. As a result, for weeks they met nightly in the living room of Bosworth's home, as well as in several other homes, with Parham going between the homes, prior to a large tent being erected for services.[1]
From the time Bosworth received his Pentecostal experience, Bosworth felt driven to share the new life he experienced. One early account says he immediately took a job selling pens so he could have an opportunity to testify to others. By April 1907 he was into the ministry full-time, joining Cyrus Fockler in the meetings he began to hold in Milwaukee.[8] His ministry continued, and the December 1908 issue of Latter Rain Evangel records meetings he was holding with Fockler in Indiana. From there he held meetings in Fitzgerald Georgia, Conway S.C., then several cities in Texas. Dallas was the final city in his Texas tour, and the meetings there were in the later part of 1909.[12] Following Bosworth's Dallas meetings, he started his first church in Dallas in 1910. The church began as an independent Pentecostal work which had a loose affiliation with the Christian and Missionary Alliance organization. In 1914 Bosworth was involved in the starting of the Assemblies of God, and was one of their first directors. In the process, he brought his church into the organization. In 1916 the Assemblies of God formalized their doctrine that the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Ghost was speaking in tongues. Bosworth did not agree with this and tried to get them to change, presenting his arguments at one of their conventions. When it became clear in 1918 that they would not change their position, Bosworth quietly withdrew from the Assemblies of God [13] and started a separate Christian and Missionary Alliance church.[1] in Dallas.[14] It was around this time (1918) that Bosworth published his pamphlet "Do All Speak With Tongues".[15]
Even when pastoring his church in Dallas, Bosworth would hold meetings in other areas, and his ministry always had an element of praying for the sick and divine healing. When his wife passed away in 1919, he arranged for someone to look after his children, then went started larger scale evangelistic meetings. It appears the turning point for Bosworth's healing ministry were meetings in Lima, Ohio in August 1920. The pastor there asked Bosworth to preach on Divine healing. While Bosworth had previously believed in Divine Healing, and had prayed for the sick, he had not previously preached Divine Healing. Bosworth writes that he went to the Lord and asked "'suppose I preach on Healing and the people come and don't get healed?' The Lord said 'If people didn't get saved, you wouldn't stop preaching the gospel.'" Bosworth studied the question, prayed about it and saw that it was God's will to heal as well as save people.[2] In the Lima meetings Bosorth stepped out on the Word, preached Divine Healing, and stated that healing of the body was as much a part of the gospel as salvation of the soul. He invited the sick to come and hear the word of healing for their bodies. The people responded, they were healed, it led to more who came for salvation, and the rest is history.[12]
In 1924, Bosworth published the first edition of Christ the Healer, a book that contains many of his sermons on the topic of faith healing and his responses his critics (this edition included 5 sermons). Prior to Bosworth's death, the 7th edition had been expanded to include 14 sermons. He was also the author of dozens of other tracts, printed sermons, and articles, some of which were later condensed and included in subsequent editions of Christ the Healer. One example is "The Christian Confession" (chapter titled "Confession"). Probably his most controversial pamphlet was "Do All Speak With Tongues? An Open Letter to Ministers and Saints of the Pentecostal Movement".[16]
F. F. Bosworth held a number of evangelistic and healing meetings across the United States and Canada in the 1920s, with thirty-nine extended meeting locations in the six-and-a-half years mentioned in Joybringer Bosworth.[17]
Bosworth had contact with many of the Pentecostal and holiness ministers of his generation, and was both influenced by them and influenced them. Prior to coming to his Pentecostal experience, Bosworth spent several years under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie, where he would have heard many of Dowie's ideas on divine healing. From Zion City he knew John G. Lake, Charles Parham, and a number of other Pentecostal pioneers. In approximately 1907, Bosworth, Lake, and one other Zion preacher visited the Azusa Street Revival and made contacts there. (One photo shows them with Seymour). He was associated with many of the early Pentecostal ministers, had Maria Woodworth-Etter hold several months of services for him in 1912,[18] and knew the early leaders of the Assemblies of God. Bosworth also knew many of the ministers associated with the Christian and Missionary Alliance church, including A.B. Simpson and both Paul and Luke Rader. While in the Chicago area, Bosworth also met E. W. Kenyon. It is unclear whether his meeting with Kenyon was before his move to Texas, since he had returned to the Chicago area by 1924.[6][13] How close a relationship the two men had and the degree Kenyon may have influenced Bosworth's early thinking are unclear.[6] Bosworth's 1930's booklet "The Christian Confession", which was later condensed into a chapter of the 1948 edition of "Christ the Healer", mentions that many of the thoughts in that booklet / chapter came from some of Kenyon's writings and were used with permission. One researcher, who looked at Bosworth's other works to determine if any were influenced by Kenyon could find no other link, and the 1924 edition of "Christ the Healer" does not contain the chapter that is in the 1948 edition.
When The Great Depression hit in 1929, money for large-scale meetings became scarce. According to Bosworth's magazine "Exploits of Faith", it appears he still had large campaigns away from home through 1931, but after that his campaigns were closer to home.
Bosworth was friends with Paul Rader, one of the first radio evangelists, and Paul Rader was broadcasting on Chicago radio stations prior to 1929. The first add in Bosworth's magazine for a Bosworth radio program was in January 1930, indicating that his radio evangelism started in either late 1929 or early 1930. He began with a program called the "Sunshine Hour". Bosworth eventually established "The National Radio Revival Missionary Crusaders" as a nonprofit corporation in Illinois. By the early to mid-1930s he was broadcasting regularly over radio stations in the Chicago area, including WJJD. Bosworth's increased radio ministry in Chicago appears to coincide with Paul Rader's reduced broadcast frequency. Due to financial problems, Paul Rader's last evangelistic broadcasts in Chicago were in 1933. Bosworth continued to broadcast well into the 1940s. There is a general gap in the information available on F. F. Bosworth and his radio ministry from the early 1930s to the mid-1940s, with the one available magazine of his from 1942 indicating that he was broadcasting from several stations across the country, and a 1963 article providing a general overview of Bosworth's radio ministry.[12]
During the 1930s and 1940s, it appears he also conducted many healing campaigns all over North America as finances permitted.[19] F. F. Bosworth, as of 1950, commented that he had more than thirty years of great evangelistic campaigns, and fourteen years of this time conducted the National Radio Revival, and during which time received about a quarter of a million letters.[20]
As mentioned by his son, R. V. Bosworth, in the final chapter of the 9th edition of Christ the Healer, Bosworth found it difficult to travel during World War II due to gas rationing, but also found it difficult not to preach.[4] Shortly after WWII he thought his ministry might be over and he retired to Florida.[13]
During the gap in information from 1934 to 1944, it appears Bosworth accepted at least some elements of British Israel theology and left the Alliance church, not to return until 1944, when he was welcomed back into the Alliance, was asked to preach at one of their conventions and along the way publicly apologized for having been in error.[21] While some who follow British Israelism claim that F.F. Bosworth maintained a British Israel view of prophecy until his death,[22] they do not offer any evidence to support this other than radio one sermon by Bosworth, which does not go to the extremes many do with that doctrine.[23]
In late 1951, at the age of 74, Bosworth went with William Branham to Africa to continue their work.[24] The book, William Branham, A Prophet Visits South Africa records their time there, as does a book titled William Branham Sermons, both of these books include a sermon of Bosworth's, and a number of William Branham's sermons refer to his time and experiences with Bosworth. After the campaign with Branham, Bosworth returned to Africa several times between 1952 and 1955, also holding campaigns in Cuba (1954) and Japan (1955 and possibly 1957), and accompanying Branham on a campaign in Switzerland and Germany in (1955). Through at least 1956, it appears that when Bosworth was not overseas, he worked with Branham on a number of campaigns.[4]
In 1957, when Bosworth's family thought it was his time to go, Branham visited his bedside, prayed with him, and was greatly encouraged by his testimony. Bosworth recovered his strength and it was not until several months later, in 1958, when he eventually died, again with an outstanding testimony. According to his son's description in the 9th edition of "Christ the Healer", the family was gathered around Bosworth's bedside talking, laughing, and singing about three weeks after Bosworth was in bed full-time, Bosworth then looked up, never saw the family members present, and began "to greet and hug people - he was enraptured ... He did this for several hours", then with a smile on his face he laid back and went to sleep. When Bosworth died, Branham was asked by the family to come to preach his funeral but was unable to attend because he was in the middle of a campaign.[4]

Crescentrating's Pick of 8 Destinations to spend your Ramadan Holidays in 2013
Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayers, charity and bonding. For those who are planning to spend the Ramadan away from home, last year we covered 10 destinations in "Ramadan Holidays -10 Destinations to Spend in 2012". Here are 8 more destinations to look at this year in addition to the 10 destinations we listed last year.
One of the best places for swimming and the largest volcanic crater lake of Nicaragua, Laguna de Apoyo is an amazing place to visit. The Laguna de Apoyo has been declared as a nature reserve and is among the protected areas of Nicaragua. A number of people visit the lake for its dark coloured beaches, clean blue waters and exciting water sports.
Spanning from the east of the Andes in Peru to the borders of the Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Bolivia are the Peruvian Amazon rainforests. Rich in wildlife and home to several indigenous communities, the Amazon rainforests in Peru attract a number of visitors. The Amazon covers almost 60% of the territory of Peru.
Aguas Calientes now known as Machu Picchu Pueblo is a small town located close to the valley of Machu Picchu. The town is the gateway to the ruins of Inca in Machu Picchu. There is nothing much to see in the town and most visitors use it as a stopover for exploring the ruins and avoiding the rush of day-trippers. If you spend the night in Aguas Calientes, you can catch the first bus to the ruins and stay atop the mountain till late afternoon.
Chicago is a lovely city with lots of opportunities for sightseeing. For Muslim travellers Chicago offers several Halal restaurants and Mosques (masjid). It is a great place to visit.
Located in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Nicaragua are the Corn Islands. There are two Corn Islands namely the Big Corn Island and the Little Corn Island. The Little Corn Island is a tropical paradise which is largely unexplored by visitors and hence is less crowded.
There is no Mosque (masjid) or Halal restaurants on the Little Corn Island. There are some good seafood restaurants and vegetarian options on the island where you can dine.
There are no historical sites or attractions on the island. The best thing that you can do is sit back and relax or enjoy the deep blue waters of the surrounding Caribbean Sea. The waters offer some good diving options and there are also PADI instructors who can teach you how to dive and explore.
Nicaragua Fishing is another major activity that visitors enjoy at the Little Corn Island. You can easily get a boat charter and go out exploring the waters.
There are a few shops on the island around the beach areas that offer things of basic necessities. You can also find some locally handcrafted items.
There are no vehicles or roads on the island and the best way of travelling around is walking.

Okay, Le Moine is a weird and disturbing movie and I wonder why I wanted to see it all.
I'm now going to try and improve my mood by watching something over the top happy, like
To The Beautiful You Cardcaptor Sakura , because I need to be cheered up and less freaked out stat.
Also need distraction from the big question: do I follow my seminars in Dutch or English? Both options are open to me and I just don't know what to choose. English has my preference, but Dutch is my mother tongue.. I still have until Monday, but I just don't know what's best. The book's in English though, my English is good enough, plus English is the earlier class so my day won't be completely wasted. But ugh. Difficult, difficult. I never had these problems while still choosing seminars from the German faculty.

Case Study: Food security in the face of climate risks - Mongolian herders' experiences
Mongolia, with 2.87 million people living on 1.5 million hectares, is the world's most sparsely populated country. With 15 animals for every person, 70 percent of the adult population work in animal husbandry.
Mongolia, with 2.87 million people living on 1.5 million hectares, is the world's most sparsely populated country. With 15 animals for every person, 70 percent of the adult population work in animal husbandry.
But extreme weather, in both summer and winter, present high risks to nutrition and food security. Across Mongolia, average temperatures have increased by about 1.6°C during the past 60 years. Herder households often have a poor diversity in their diets, meaning micronutrient deficiencies are common.
Through droughts, climate change is already affecting water availability and range lands. But an even bigger hazard comes from winter disasters, called dzuds, in which extended and extreme cold, combined with repeated snowfalls, kills many livestock.
Due to low livelihood diversification, Large portions of the population can become destitute and food insecure from one season to the next if livestock is lost.
Jinst, an administrative area (soum) covering 531,264 hectares of mostly range lands, has more than 2,000 inhabitants, but about 40 percent of the population is under 18.
Bayarmaa Baljinnyam's family belongs to the Orgil herder group, which includes 14 families who share the same pasture and grazing area. Her livelihood, and the family's food supply, depends entirely on her herd of sheep and goats. What the family doesn't consume is normally sold.
Poor families in Jinst were particularly affected by a series of severe droughts and dzud disasters, which ran from 1999 to 2002, losing more animals and having less access to resources like animal feed. Local Jinst soum statistics report the total number of livestock dropped from 125,185 in 2000 to 24,104 in 2002.
For almost two years many households did not have enough milk and meat to consume, as they were trying to rebuild their remaining flocks. Nutrient deficiencies became common, while access to essential items like candles, home-heating fuels, clothing, and education was also restricted.
Families with larger herds and herders with greater livestock management experience were less affected by the 1999 to 2002 dzud, largely due to better skills and preparation for the coming winter.
Bayarmaa Baljinnyam's family play shagai, a traditional game using bones.
The households in Jinst agreed to jointly address their common issues of food security, nutrition and climate change by organising for collective action. Between 2003 and 2008 the herders in Bayarmaa's neighbourhood were part of a UNDP supported Sustainable Grassland Management Project, implemented by the Ministry of Food and Agriculture.
Herders rehabilitated winter shelters for livestock and learned how to store hay and hand fodder in preparation for any future dzud. They formed a community-based organisation to improve their livelihoods and regulate access and use of pasture land.
As a formal organisation, the group gained frequent interactions with local government and external organisations such as donors and nongovernmental organisations. These interactions have helped herders mobilise small grants and technical assistance for well rehabilitation, development of common reserve pastures and alternative income generation activities.
In 2009-2010, Jinst herders experienced another devastating dzud, but its affects were less severe. Reserving pasture, warming up livestock shelters and collecting hand fodder were among the new practices that helped them minimise the damage.
Community organisation has allowed herders to improve how they manage both climate and market risks. The small-scale gardens families have established for household consumption have enabled them to diversify their diet.
Community organisation has helped access training in value-added skills such as wool processing, felt making and maximising production of dairy products for outside markets.
The process of group formation has been empowering for the herders and has strengthened their customary structures of cooperation. By being part of organised groups, herders can cooperate and network with local officials and trainers more often than before and their group leaders and activists can communicate their concerns and interests across multiple scales and networks.

Court Raps CBI for Filing Closure Report After 30 Years
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 08th May 2014 05:18 PM
Last Updated: 08th May 2014 05:18 PM
The CBI's move to file a closure report in a 30-year-old case of cheating of an insurance company by four persons irked a Delhi court which asked the agency's director to look into the delay and fix the responsibility on concerned officers.
Special CBI Judge Narottam Kaushal pulled up the CBI, which filed the closure report in a case of cheating of the National Insurance Company 30 years ago, saying that three of the accused had died and documents of the case are missing.
"It is directed that the matter be looked into by the appropriate authority to fix the responsibility of officers of CBI who delayed the investigation for a period of almost 30 years," the court said, directing that a copy be sent to the CBI Director.
The court, however, accepted the closure report, saying as the relevant records are not available, it has no option but to accept the closure report.
"Considering the facts that the relevant records are not available, this court has no option but to accept the closure report. Death of three accused persons, and the fourth one being 92 years of age, has created a situation of fait?accompli.
"In the facts and circumstances, I am of the opinion that there is no reason to direct further investigation. The closure report submitted by investigating officer Inspector Y S Yadav is accepted," the judge said.
The case pertains to one D N Sarkar, who was accused of conspiring with officials of National Insurance Company - R S Bhandari, G S Narang, Arvind Bery - and cheating the insurance firm by facilitating a false insurance claim.
Insured Sarkar had sought claim on the ground that while traveling by Japan Airlines, he had suffered bursting of ear drum, resulting in total deafness in the left ear.
The four men were booked for the offences of criminal conspiracy and cheating under the IPC and under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act relating to criminal misconduct in discharge of official duty.

The workshops were organized based on an agreement between the CHTHO and the Iraqi ministry to train the delegation in preservation and restoration of artifacts and historical monuments, CHTHO Deputy Director Mohammad-Hassan Talebian said in a press release last Wednesday.
"Due to its rich cultural heritage and experts' high capacity for education, Iran is able to hold courses for scholars from the countries of the region, especially from those nations having a cultural affinity with Iran," he added.
The delegation arrived in Tehran last Sunday. It has visited a number of Iranian historical sites including Golestan and Sadabad historical complexes in Tehran, the Fin Garden in Kashan, and Jame' Mosque and the Chehel-Sotun in Isfahan.
The group is scheduled to meet Talebian today in Tehran.
