Little siblings of Duck and Goose fans rejoice! The stars of the bestselling Duck & Goose and Duck, Duck, Goose return in this board book for preschoolers, this time, to introduce basic opposites. In this ALA-ALSC Notable Children's Book, Goose carries an oh-so-heavy log, while duck easily balances a light-as-a-feather feather. Thistle is one fast bird, but Goose is slooo-w. And when Duck is sound asleep, Goose is wide awake. With a simple text and colorful illustrations–plus the inimitable characters, of course–here's a wonderful, and humorous, introduction to an important concept.
Tad Hills is the author and illustrator of Duck & Goose—called "expressive" and "adorable" in a starred review from Kirkus Reviews—and Duck, Duck, Goose, both New York Times bestsellers. He is also the illustrator of My Fuzzy Friends and Knock, Knock, Who' s There? and a painter, an actor, and an obsessive Halloween costume-maker. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and children.

U.S. Representative Charles Rangel of New York has claimed victory in his Democratic primary as he seeks a 23rd term, but votes were still being counted on Wednesday as his main challenger refused to concede defeat until every vote was tallied.
Rangel, an African-American who has been the face of Harlem politics for 40 years, held a slim 1,800 vote lead over state Senator Adriano Espaillat with nearly 100 percent of election districts reporting.
Hundreds of absentee ballots in the district, which includes Harlem and part of the Bronx, were yet to be counted and verified, according to the New York State Board of Elections.
With almost all precincts reporting, Rangel was leading 47 percent to 44 percent, according to NY1, a local television station, which called Rangel the winner.
In this liberal bastion of New York City, where blacks and Latinos form the majority, the winner of the Democratic primary is all but guaranteed to win the general election for the House of Representatives seat in November.
After NY1 called the race in his favor late Tuesday, Rangel, 84, declared to uproarious applause among supporters in East Harlem: "This was your victory."
"You can rest assured all I will be doing is thinking about you and bringing resources back home," he said.
But at Espaillat's headquarters, the state senator who hopes to become the first Dominican-American elected to Congress told crowds chanting his name that he intended to see the race through until very outstanding ballot was counted.
"We feel this race is too close to call," he said.
The race was a rematch between Rangel and Espaillat. Two years ago, Espaillat, 59, came within 1,000 votes of ousting Rangel after the district boundaries were redrawn moving it from majority black to majority Latino.
The two men had few policy disagreements, but sparred over whether it was time for Rangel, who has indicated this will be his last election, to yield to the next generation of politicians.
Rangel, who entered Congress in 1971, was a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
But his political brand was dealt a serious blow in 2010, when he was censured by the House after failing to pay taxes on rent he earned from a property in the Dominican Republic and misusing his office to secure fundraising.

Epic Resources List - How to Get Awesome at ArtI often get asked how to get better at drawing and painting. While the main answer is practice there are a lot of fantastic resources that will make the journey far easier; below is a list of the ones I have personally found most useful. Some are free and some are paid, if you want the paid ones please actually buy them and support the hard-working artists that spend their valuable time providing quality education.Also this is enough material to last you for, literally, years, so get one at a time, study it in detail, then once you're thoroughly finished move on to the next one. Reading a book or watching a dvd doesn't make you better. What makes you better is ingesting the information slowly, pondering and truly understanding it, and then applying it with diligent practice over a long period of time.So without further ado, here is my...EPIC RESOURCES LIST!!!Figure DrawingProko - This is probably the best education on the internet.

Rutgers is no where in the same league as any of the Big Ten schools. Under
what scenario would the Big Ten presidents extend such an invite? It's
No offense intended, but if such a decision was made by such a prestigious conference, it is well within the realm of possibility that the Big 12 could invite BYU to its league at any unpredictable moment.

I think it's a smart move. Rutgers is not invited to the B1G because so
many New Yorkers love Rutgers. It is simply an "in" to get the Big Ten
Network on a more basic cable tier in the NY area. Yes, some people will watch
Rutgers-Minnesota, but TONS of people will watch the other BTN games and
programs in the NY area.
This move helped me make sense of the Pac 12 not inviting BYU along with Utah. Utah was (at the time) the best team that could provide an "in" to get the Pac 12 Network into Wasatch Front homes. They didn't need BYU, per se. They invited Colorado because they were the default team to provide an "in" to Denver homes. Again, while it was a move to capture the market that would watch any Utah or Colorado game, it's as much a move to get folks in those areas to watch, say, Oregon - Oregon State on the Pac 12 network(s).
Given this, if the Pac 12 sees SLC as a valuable TV market, it is very probable that the Big 12 could make the same decision with BYU.

It looks like BYU is learning double speak from ESPN. They never denied the story was true they simply labeled in "speculation" and said they have a policy of not commenting on stories they have labeled "speculation." Sounds like a non-denial denial to me.

Reviews written by registered user
|10 reviews in total
All of the above seem to be in the movie, according to many who've
watched it. I found none of them, and after much research on what it is
that people like about this film, I'm borderline depressed. People have
said that either you love it or hate it, and if you hate it it just
wasn't meant for you. That's a kind of reverse snobbery that has no
place in film fandom, yet it thrives well. I'm not a movie snob by any
stretch (I see no contradiction in loving both Star Wars and
Breathless) but this movie is like the Idaho countryside where it was
shot: empty, flat, but with its own kind of
not-worth-90-minutes-of-screentime beauty. The lack of sex and swearing
is something to neither gripe about nor commend. There's still violence
in it, so I wonder if it's more acceptable in the minds of the movie's
fans than the other two.
I know that irony died when Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize, but that doesn't mean the definition of the word has changed. The only irony is that people found irony in this movie, which is a sad statement about its target viewership. There are possibly 2 or 3 funny moments in the whole picture, and the only one that is slightly ironic is when Napoleon busts a movie (lanky cracker suddenly becomes a break-dancing machine... ha ha, ha ha; actually I didn't find this sequence amusing at all, I was more surprised and delighted that Jon Heder could dance better than he could act).
Tied in intimately with the irony of the film is its sense of humour. Seeing that there is nothing much to speak of in this department, I can gloss over it by saying that it would take an actor of enormous caliber to make a line like "Do the chickens have large talons" funny (though many still do). Oh, and saying "Gosh" is not funny in and of itself.
Speaking of acting, the only characters who are played with any kind of authenticity and skill are Debbie and Uncle Rico. They are the only ones who have managed to slip past the director's radar, and they infuse their characters with humanity and truth. They obviously didn't believe in director Jared Hess' maxim that being slack-jawed and showing total vacancy in your eyes is what acting is all about. Even Diedrich Bader, one of Hollywood's best scene-chewers, was barely funny in his brief role. Napoleon and his brother are played by two who can obviously act; that doesn't mean their acting is good in this film. Apparently, all Jon Heder needs to do to be funny is stand there with his teeth on display, his eyes half hidden, and say something utterly banal. Maybe it's the director's sorry attempt at establishing a style. Perhaps that's the only point of the movie: banal lifelessness is funny, because that's all you're going to get in this emerging generation. If that's true, and people are buying it, that's sad. Then next step will be a comedy in which nothing happens at all.
I've read a lot of amusing "pro" commentary on this film; one of the movie's supporters even went so far as to say that people who don't like the movie are "too smart". Oooh... burn on me and all the other intelligent people who only find humour in things that are actually funny! One especially vapid reviewer (who's obviously never made a film) said that it proves all you need to make a movie are some quirky characters. It reminds me of a few years ago when The Tao of Steve became popular; people were saying all you need to make a movie is a great script. No, what you need is for a marginal film with one halfway decent idea to be picked up by a major studio whose marketing whizzes can turn said film into something that people can be convinced they like. Twenty years on, when nobody remembers the film, all that will be left is the money.
Some of the biggest laughs I've gotten are from reviewers who compare Napoleon Dynamite to other films. One of them compared this movie to Easy Rider. OK, they're both plot less and have a little to say about its time and place, I can grant that. But Easy Rider was entertaining and actually said something insightful about its generation; it didn't slyly denigrate the people who it was aimed at, as this picture does. Others still have compared this to Monty Python, which is such a dumb comparison that I need not comment further. The final insult was people comparing this to the excellent The Big Lebowski. I obviously wasn't watching the same movie as them. Comparing the two is simply ridiculous!
I've already written way too much, and I'm sure the people who love this movie have either stopped reading a while ago (possibly distracted when I wrote the word "Gosh!", causing violent paroxysms of laughter making them incapable of reading) or think I like the sound of my own voice (rather the sight of my own words). They're quite wrong. I just can't find enough time in my life to deconstruct why I didn't enjoy this movie very much. It just has so little going for it, but I seem to be fighting a tide of mindless praise.
Honestly, the only things this movie seems to have going for it are the production design and cinematography. It certainly doesn't deserve any kudos for the acting or the direction, and Perdo and LaShawnda are one-note ethnic stereotypes. But then again, this movie is a one-note joke full of one-note jokes. That must be how the filmmakers see life, and I guess therefore that that's the message of the film. How insightful. *crickets heard in background*
This is a bad adaptation of a rather interesting short story. The
acting is worse than in a porn video, the cinematography is almost
non-existent, and even though the script remains faithful to the story,
the atrocious production values completely destroy any impact this film
may have had.
I was forced to watch this in English class, and my liking of the teacher diminished significantly after realizing what poor taste she had in subjecting us to this torture.
Drop any class showing this film; it is not worth your time, and you will feel ripped off even if you watch it for free.
Why anyone would want to be associated with this terrible dreck is beyond me. Aside from a dire need of cash on the part of the actors, the need for a mid-season replacement on the part of studio executives, or a "The Producers"-like plot to make a show so bereft of genuine brains or humour in a bizzare bit of financial scheming, this filth is inexcusable. It was even shot on film, to add insult to injury. Make crapanade when life hands you crap, indeed. Well this is certainly proof of the maxim spouted by the pathetic Archie Bunker clone played by Quaid. When the pilot script plopped brown splatter and all out of the honeybucket into the desperate suits' well-manicured hands, those Harvard Business school graduates proved yet again that a cookie-cutter MBA is about as useful as a screen door on one's love sac. All the above-the-line personnel should be ashamed of themselves.
As an east end, English speaking Montrealer not of Italian origin but
among Italians, this film struck a chord with me. It's about a perpetual
outsider named Angelo, played by Luke Kirby (his acting skill is
casting directors, take note, his face is so expressive that words fail
attempting to describe it, a real cinema actor). This hilarious film is
about Angelo's trials and tribulations, striving to find his voice as a
writer while the worlds around him, both old and new, are more earthbound
and mundane. His parents (portrayed by Paul Sorvino and Ginette Reno)
above stereotypes and seem quite believable (believe me, I know). The gay
issue, which meant that the screening I attended in St. Leo was mainly
women whose boyfriends couldn't be dragged to a movie about
"salsicce-eaters," was dealt with a tact and humility that is rare in
supposedly pro-gay films and TV shows. Angelo is a man who likes men, but
what? He feels pain, he loves, and he yearns; he's not some camp
nor is he some quirky sidekick with no personal problems. His sister Anna
(also well played by Claudia Ferri) could have a whole movie to herself,
with her constant battles with the parents' leaving her a valium-popping
mental car wreck. Then there is Nino, Angelo's boyfriend. He struggles
his identity too (gay cop isn't exactly as popular a job as systems
analyst), and is in some respects more complex a character than Angelo.
However, he is not the focus of the movie.
Though the trailers make this look like a vain attempt to make a Canadian/Italian answer to the visually much duller My Big Fat Greek Wedding, this is not the case. Playwright Steve Gallucio collaborated on the screen version with director Emile Gaudrealt, ensuring faithfulness to the excellent original while ensuring that the film has a definite cinematic flair. The colours are are as vivid as the characterisations, the only drawback in the latter being that there are not too many Italians in the principle cast. Mary Walsh, though quite funny and recognizable to the 2 or 3 Canadians who actually watch the CBC, is definitely not Sicilian.
That being said, the movie has far fewer limitations than strengths. It has funny moments, and it has daringly dark moments. I don't want to give away too much, as I want as many people to see this as possible. My only real complaint is that the parents' house in St. Leo didn't have a statue of the Virgin Mary out front. All in all, please watch this film.
I watched the entire series of Project Greenlight in one sitting (had to rent it on DVD, we don't have HBO yet in my ice country); had I not watched the show, I would not have given Stolen Summer more than a cursory glance. Though I enjoyed Greenlight more than the movie, I enjoyed Stolen Summer for its sincerity and some of the performances. Plus, seeing what I'll have to go through in the future made me appreciate Pete Jones' situation, thus making me ease up on the film. Despite that, the film has its sloppy moments: the two boys are not exactly RADA grads, the editing could be much better (though the same could be said about 99% of every film made since the mid 1930s) and some of the camera work is unnecessarily shaky (I enjoy handheld shots, but only in moderation and when they fit the context of the scene). But the performances by Aidan Quinn and especially Kevin Pollak are pretty damn good. Yes, there is melodrama, but it works; furthermore, it actually deals with big questions like death, god, and existence, high concept terms you wouldn't find in a high concept picture. So watch Stolen Summer, but please watch it after Greenlight.
I have a hard time deciding if i liked this movie or not. I did enjoy it,
but I also disliked most of it. Yes, this documentary makes interesting
light of the problems facing the US today. Yes, Moore's narrow and
manipulative style prods the audience into asking questions that deserve
be examined. And yes, he does have a right to spew his diatribes (it's in
the Bill of Rights). However, the incoherence of his logic (not
surprisingly) eclipsed the film for me. The cover of his book "Stupid
Men" says it all, with the demagogue Moore smiling smugly, not realizing
ironic the cover's statement is.
Keeping in mind his simplistic world view, I'll adress the "for" and "opposed" camps in terms he'd understand. The bleeding heart liberals who eat out of his palms and the cigar-chewing opressive capitalists who despise him are equally guilty of falling for his trap: they're paying ($$$) attention to him. Altruism accounts for perhaps 10% of his motives; after all, filmmaking is the most expensive artform in the world, though the word art should not be attached to this heavy-handed mess. The goal of this movie was to make a return on investment, and it did that handily. In that sense at least, the movie was a success.
Can someone please tell me the causal link between the CIA-sponsored assasination of the president of Chile and the destruction of the Twin Towers by well-fed middle class immigrants living comfortably in the Western world? Oh, and showing my country as this clean, non-violent contrast to our neighbour Republic gives new definition to the term "manipulative bullplop." And using Beethoven's Ninth... I know one is not allowed to make threats to another's person, so I'll stop it there.
Moore's "my-target's-walking-away-while-I-wistfully-call-out-questions- to-him" schtick got old after "Roger and Me." But many people swallow it whole. For them, I say buy the DVD; he probably gets 10% of the gross, which comes in handy for anyone who lives in a mansion. For those down the middle and have brains, watch it and make your own opinion, if you can stomach tedium and the constant mangling of facts. And for those right of centre that think he's a commie, keep in mind that no pinko eats better food or dresses down more convincingly.
So over-the-top and genuinely entertaining that, had you taken out
Charlton Heston's hammy acting and the overblown zoom-ins, it would
have fallen flat and lost its cult appeal. The script is quite decent,
and gently beats the audience's collective head into thinking about
issues like race and class, religion and science.
Without dwelling on Nova, the movie is good to look at: the ape make-up looks good even by today's standards; the dizzying crash sequence at the beginning is alright, and the presence of various artifacts from contemporary Earth (including a certain New York landmark made famous in numerous parodies from Spaceballs to The Simpsons) heightening the impact of the story's message.
Though also released in 1968 and featuring hibernation in space travel, anthropomorphic apes, high-speed traveling shots of a desolate wasteland, numerous zooms, and an American astronaut seemingly traveling to a far and distant place only to find himself back home and substantially changed, this movie is nowhere near the accomplishment of cinematic genius Stanley Kubrick's (insert oft-used superlative here) 2001: A Space Odyssey. The similarities with "Apes" and what I consider to be a perfect work of art are there; my opinion is just that, but I would suggest that if you've only seen "Apes," please watch 2001. And to those "art-film" lovers who only watch "serious" pictures, get your pretentious selves off your high horse and give Planet of the Apes a viddy.
With some competent character actors (Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty)
and comic book mogul Stan Lee doling out the cash as executive
producer, this picture could have been a decent, entertaining
romp. Instead, the cheap production values and lazy direction lead
the mediocre cast along a familiar path of dumb heroes, brooding
villains, and the freedom yada yada yada...
Only a few comic books have been transferred to the big screen with any measure of success; this is probably due to the fact that there is no formula for it (well, besides the filmmakers doing the best they can with the material). Part of the problem here may be the underlying fact that Captain America is strong due to a performance-enhancing drug a tad bit stronger than androsterone.
I'll admit, I enjoyed this when I was a child; then again, I used to be entertained by Home Improvement and the Police Academy films as well. If you want to watch a comic book movie that's worth it (and has been criminally underseen), watch Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy. Watch this only if you're a Captain America completist.
A warning: stay light years away from any location showing this piece
of cinematic trash. Sure, it's not aiming for originality, realistic
(or at least believable) character development or intelligent insight;
however, for the amount of money one has to pay for the wonderful
privilege of viewing this waste of celluloid, the viewer does not need
to add "insult to one's intelligence" to the already huge pile of
grievances that can be shoveled onto this festering canker sore of a
movie. Not that anyone attached to the film cares: they've already made
their money off the poor unwitting persons who were dragged to see it
by now-former friends. I object most strongly to this movie because it
"teaches," in its mad dash for saps' cash, that being cute and showing
your navel is all that's needed to be happy and successful in this
world; that and a man, of course.
Strangely enough, the movie does have several redeeming qualities, besides the fact that it ends and its dialogue is easy to mock. Maria Bello and John Goodman do quite well at pulling what little good they can find out of their material. As for Jersey's singing subplot, the fact that Piper Perabo's singing voice is dubbed in by LeAnn Rimes, who herself then appears in the diegesis, is just the last insult on the aforementioned pile. It almost seems as though the record deal for this picture was so lucrative that it actually affected the plot line.
Of all the warm memories I will have about this film, the heckling will stand out most; the saddest part of it was thinking about all the money and material that was wasted to make this picture. That, and seeing the great Bud Cort being relegated to a throwaway bit part.
So go ahead; throw your money, not to mention your brain and your egalitarian sensibilities, away. Watch Coyote Ugly; make Jerry Bruckheimer that much richer. He needs it; you and charities don't.
I had the pleasure of attending a premiere screening of this wonderful
at the Montreal International Film Festival with the director, Hyatt Bass,
and actor Harris Yulin (Rick, the main character's father) in attendance.
The film is primarily about the tension caused by the return home of
a strong-willed, free spirited artist (played by Karen Silas), which
the carefully balanced facade of happiness put up by her family. From her
sister Kay (Heidi Swedberg), a former singer stifled by maternal guilt and
marital constraints, who eventually brims over with jealousy towards
artistic and personal accomplishments, to her mother, who longs for
something greater than "a trip down the coast", Letty's impact is
Michael Barrett's cinematography plays a crucial role in "75 Degrees in July." The film is resplendent with gorgeous Texan scenery to the point where it actually plays a supporting character: the shadows and the colours are absolutely stunning, and truly give one the sensation of being immersed in the sweltering beauty of a Texan ranch. My sole qualm with the film is the overuse of fading from scene to scene, but I'm just a nitpicky little bugger :-)
All in all, "75 Degrees in July" is a stunning debut for Hyatt Bass, and the entire cast and crew should be commended for their efforts.

- Water-accommodated fraction
The narcosis target lipid model (NTLM) was used to predict the toxicity of water-accommodated fractions (WAFs) of six gasoline blending streams to algae (Pseudokirchnereilla subcapitata, formerly Selenastrum capricornutum), juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and water flea (Daphnia magna). Gasolines are comprised of hydrocarbons that on dissolution into the aqueous phase are expected to act via narcosis. Aquatic toxicity data were obtained using a lethal-loading test in which WAFs were prepared using different gasoline loadings. The compositions of the gasolines were determined by analysis of C3 to C13 hydrocarbons grouped in classes of n-alkanes, iso-alkanes, aromatics, cyclic alkanes, and olefins. A model was developed to compute the concentrations of hydrocarbon blocks in WAFs based on gasoline composition and loading. The model accounts for the volume change of the gasoline, which varies depending on loading and volatilization loss. The predicted aqueous composition of WAFs compared favorably to measurements, and the predicted aqueous concentrations of WAFs were used in the NTLM to predict the aquatic toxicity of the gasolines. For each gasoline loading and species, total toxic units (TUs) were computed with an assumption of additivity. The acute toxicity of gasolines was predicted to within a factor of two for algae and daphnids. Predicted TUs overestimated toxicity to trout because of experimental factors that were not considered in the model. This analysis demonstrates the importance of aliphatic hydrocarbon loss to headspace during WAF preparation and the contribution of both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons test to the toxicity of gasolines in closed systems and loss of aliphatics to headspace during WAF preparation. Model calculations indicate that satisfactory toxicity predictions can be achieved by describing gasoline composition using a limited number of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbon blocks with different octanol-water partition coefficients.

The largest is Pier 4 in South Boston, which owes over $820,000, which it recently told the Boston Globe it would pay.
But a curious fact about the list, which yearly draws wide media attention, is that one can owe the city millions in back taxes and not be on it. Read more

The Boston School Committee voted to shutter six schools and expand the pilot school program last week, bringing the superintendent's system-wide reorganization decision-making process to a close.
Though changes that eliminated the schools were affirmed earlier this month, an official vote on the closings was needed for procedural reasons. The closures include Dorchester's Lucy Stone, Quincy E. Dickerman, and Pauline Agassiz Shaw schools. Read more

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
"The Reivers" is a pleasant, wholesome, straightforward movie of the sort (as they say) they don't make anymore. Once was, Hollywood had the knack of turning out absorbing entertainments that really were family films. By that I mean they neither insulted nor challenged the intelligence of any member of the family.
"The Reivers" is like that. It's a movie that combines two favorite kinds of stories; it's half about a bunch of colorful characters who set out on a journey, and half about a young boy's initiation into adolescence. And often enough, it's a lot of fun. Although it's rated 'M' (for mature audiences), I think it's suitable for kids from about 10 years up.
The story is based on William Faulkner's novel, and tells about a magnificent trip between Jefferson and Memphis, back in 1912, in a kidnapped Winton Flyer. The trip was organized by an adventuresome chauffeur (Steve McQueen), and joined by a 12-year-old (Mitch Vogel) and his Negro second cousin (Rupert Crosse). Along the way, they face hazards of driving, mud, second thoughts and guilt feelings.
Once they get there, Crosse unexpectedly trades the car for a horse, and they find themselves committed to a horse race to win their car back. All the time, of course, there's the threat of retribution from old Boss McCaslin (Will Geer), the patriarchal head of the family and owner, by the way, of the car.
The plot isn't as complex as most of Faulkner, and the movie doesn't particularly carry a Faulkner flavor. It's closer in tone to Mark Twain, and the movie it reminded me of was "National Velvet." In both cases, you have a protagonist who's in over his (or her) head in the mysterious world of adult affairs and who collaborates with a heroic horse to set things straight.
It's not quite that simple, of course. Once they get to Memphis, Boon (McQueen) steers straight for the local bawdy house, where he is in love with the lovely Corrie (Sharon Farrell). She has the proverbial heart of gold, of course, and tenderly cares for the young boy while the cousin is out trading the car. The boy learns to his dismay that Miss Corrie may not be pure as the driven snow, but he refuses to accept this fact and even gets his nose bloodied defending her honor. He was right, she's portrayed in a most honorable light for the rest of the film. (It is to the film's credit that Miss Corrie and her establishment are painted colorfully without ever giving cause for offense.)
No attempt has been made to make the story "contemporary," and that's just as well. It does nicely as nostalgia and excitement and romance, and the horse race is just right for the ending.

Muslim minister rejects Sharia courts in UK
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I think the idea of Sharia courts in the UK is abominable. I think it would be a good idea to remove all legal recognition of christian and jewish courts as well to ensure that these religious cults are not ever allowed to influence the legal system
There is one rule for everybody and that is all to be said.
The real victims will be muslim women, many who do not know their rights, or do not know how to get access to help. The idea that Sharia law is a 'choice', as is sometimes suggested, is laughable. Do you think a muslim woman would refuse the Imam's advice to settle it through a religious court? Stop this nonsense right now.
As far as I'm concerned, any ethnic or religious group should follow the civil laws of the UK, period. There is only one law, British law. No other system should be used an an alternate legal system for redress of grievances. If they don't like it, let them go live in a society that supports their antiquated, backwards thinking, oppressive laws. Why do such people choose to live in the west yet don't want to live under a western judiciary is beyond me. Under sharia law, polygamy is allowed. How does the British judiciary view that I wonder?
But the point is that there are *already* "Shari'a courts" operating in Britain. Not stoning people in the marketplace or demanding amputations, but settling civil suits and arbitrating disputes within families and between neighbours. They operate within the majority system, not as an alternative to it. I don't think this is any more shocking than the existence of Islamic banking societies.
I agree that the powers of such courts do have to be limited, but surely the best way to do so is to acknowledge and legislate their place, rather than pretending they don't exist? "One rule for everybody" is a fine slogan, but reality is always more complicated than this (surely 'marriage is a union between a man and a woman' is a fine 'rule for everybody!'). We need to put aside ill-informed stereotypes of what constitutes Shari'a, and to ask serious questions about how much autonomy Muslim communities should be granted in their affairs, and how this can best promote what is now usually called "community cohesion".
This is barking mad! All this hiving-off of what should be inclusive, secular, public services & get-out clauses & taxpayer funding for what are, after all, sectarian, self-interested organizations promotes the DIS-integration of our society – not it's integration, or 'cohesion'. It's a slow cultural suicide.
We in Western European democracies desperately need to recover some historical sense of WHY secular, liberal democracy was, and IS, so necessary.
I should add, I think Sadiq Khan is an eminently sensible & courageous man for his response.
I have never had any sympathy with uk people that go abroad and break other countires laws, even if it means 10 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread. That is thier law and if you go into their counrty you have to abide by it. But on the other hand our law is OUR law, and if you dont like it , no matter what relgion , you have the choice to leave. I embrace fully people coming into this counrty, I embrace diversity, but not when it comes to our laws. Even though I dont agree with some of them myself. If a muslim has a problem with a neighbour then we have OUR laws in place to deal with this issue.
danger – one civil uk law is more than enough and it protect us all

Title: Lightning protection of smooth bark cypress
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have been told that the smooth bark cypress stores a large amount of water at its base and if lightning strikes, it will explode and extinguish the flames. Could you tell me if this is a myth? I've also been told that the berries will emit a toxic smoke if the tree catches fire. Is this true?
Cupressus glabra, smooth bark cypress is not listed as such in our Native Plant Database. It is, however, a synonymn for Cupressus arizonica ssp. arizonica (Arizona cypress), - which is also called smooth bark cypress. In the information we could find about this tree there was no mention of exploding tree bases to extinguish fires from lightning, nor of toxic smoke from berries. Actually, the Cupressus does not have berries, but cones. The base of a tree is part of the anchoring system of the tree, and also part of the transportation system, carrying minerals and water from the soil to the rest of the tree, and returning the food manufactured by the leaves for the continued nutrition of the tree. There really is no place there for storage of water, although, of course, water is stored in the roots. Perhaps some of this slighty skewed information may have come from the fact that the seed-bearing cones often remain on the tree for many years, and the seeds may be finally released by fire.
In fact, in Yellowstone in the terrible fires of 1988, a species of pine, Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine), helped to reforest the hillsides because of the fire dependency of the seeds in the cones. This variety is adapted to forest fires, often with cones that remain tightly closed on the trees many years until a fire destroys the forest. When the heat causes the cones to open, the seeds fall to the bare ground to begin a new forest. This variety is also able to reproduce without fire, and in some areas most of the trees release their seeds without the heat of fire. Pinus and Cupressus genuses are related insofar as both belong to the Order Pinales, and both are cone-bearing.
So, sorry, we couldn't substantiate this story. Possibly when lightning hits a cone-bearing tree, the heat generated by the electricity could cause some of those cones to explode or flare up suddenly, and perhaps that's where the story came from.

Most virtual instructor-led training today follows the traditional footprint of 60 minutes. Popular belief is that anything longer means you will lose your audience and that people are too busy to devote any more time than that. So, what do you do when you want to take a 3-day, 24-hour course, make it virtual, have a live instructor, and give the learners a phenomenal, memorable learning experience? This session will answer this question by giving you some insights based on Dr. Lockhart-Jones's 12 years of experience delivering tremendously successful, live, virtual instructor-led training, for global, geographically dispersed participants, with courses running 4-5 hours per day, 5 consecutive days a week.

In this talk, John LeMasney will discuss the trials, tribulations, and successes of creating and teaching classes on Arduino as programming at several New Jersey libraries across the state. Arduino is an open source hardware platform for learning about and making electronics prototypes to scratch your own itch. It is a well-supported, low-threshold-of-entry approach of inviting those new to electronics to create their own working circuits at a low monetary cost and little existing knowledge. I'll demonstrate what Arduino is in the larger sense, and why it's fun and easy to get started with Arduino.
