A revolution is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. Aristotle described two types of political revolution: ⁕Complete change from one constitution to another ⁕Modification of an existing constitution. Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods, duration, and motivating ideology. Their results include major changes in culture, economy, and socio-political institutions. Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center around several issues. Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective, but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences, including sociology and political science. Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a sudden change for most part in the constitution of a country in consequence of internal revolt, particularly when a monarchy is superseded by a republic, as in France in 1789, in 1848, and 1870, that in 1830 being merely from one branch of the Bourbon family to another, such as that also in England in 1658. The French Revolution of 1798 is the revolution by pre-eminence, and the years 1848-49 were years of revolutions in Europe.

Fr. Tim Vakoc, Military Chaplain, RIP
Nice posts at Hot Air and at Deacon Greg's place and elsewhere, but I like this piece by Frank Weathers, because it reminds us that (as with this priest) soldiers and saints are sometimes one and the same:
Martin of Tours by Charles L. O'Donnell
"As I today was wayfaring"—
Holy, Holy, Holy!—low—
Said Christ in heaven's evening—
The Holies yet more hushed and slow—
"I met a knight upon the road;
A plumed charger he bestrode.
"He saw the beggar that was I—
Holy, Holy, Holy I—long—
Head and foot one beggary—
Holy, Holy, Holy!—song—
One that shivered in the cold
While his horse trailed cloth of gold.
Read the rest here. And also read more about St. Martin of Tours and the origin of Veteran's Day.
And let's have a look at some heroic military chaplains.

Thanks guys for awesome responses.
My intent of asking this question was if i am going in right direction. By 30 i mean to develop a pace by which i can switch 30 chords in a minute i.e. from E > A > D > E. I forgot to mention that i am using Acoustic guitar.
If any once can suggest some more songs/suggestion based on 3 chords that will help.
I will take NB's suggestion and try other patterns also and develop speed slowly.
Doug : Thank you for offering your help, once i learn some more chords i will reach out to you.

A Walk around CES – Part 2
14th February 2012
More "goodies" at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show
This article is a followup to Part 1 in which I describe a few of the photographic items that attracted my attention as I was scouring the venues of the Consumer Electronics Show. In this Part 2 article, I'll show you some of the other items that I found interesting at this year's record breaking CES.
I'm a geek at heart. And since I like touching, feeling and learning about devices and gadgets that perform some kind of magic, the miles of aisles taking up some 1.8 million square feet of exhibit space -are a playground for me. Apparently there are a few others that feel the same way; attendance at the show was north of 150,000.

Disney is ready to 3D-print you as a mini Stormtrooper
Last year, Disney offered a cool Star Wars promotional tie-in that allowed visitors to have their faces 3D-scanned onto a figure in the iconic carbon freeze device that trapped Han Solo. The theme park is bringing the service back, but this time there's an additional option for those more interested in exploring the dark side
This year the folks at Disney are offering to take a scan of your face and put it on a mini Stormtrooper figure, effectively making you a part of the Imperial clone army for all time (at least on your bookshelf). Part of the theme park's D-Tech Me experience, the face scanning process takes about 10 minutes. After that, the completed Stormtrooper figurine with your face will take about 7 to 8 weeks to be delivered to your doorstep.
However, slapping your mug on a tiny Stormtrooper doesn't come cheap. Disney is selling the service for $99.95 a pop. But for hardcore Star Wars fans, that price is probably considered a bargain. The service will only be offered during the park's Star Wars Weekends (May 17-19, May 24-26, May 31-June 2, and June 7-9).

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will be joined by Marian Robinson, mother of First Lady Michelle Obama, and local students from the Columbia Heights Youth Club's Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program, the Alexandria Happy Home Child Learning Center and the D.C. Bilingual Public Charter School for the Department of Education's Let's Read. Let's Move. summer enrichment series on Thursday, July 22 from noon– 1:30 p.m. at the U.S. Department of Education's Lyndon Baines Johnson headquarters outdoor plaza in Washington, D.C. The goal of this new program, led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, is to get more Americans volunteering to combat childhood obesity and summer learning loss among youth.

In fact, most low-income children can lose more than two months of reading skills progress during the summer break," said Education Secretary Arne Duncan. "The key to stopping summer learning loss is reading. If a child reads a minimum of five books between June and August, they will be on track for success next school year. We need every child to read at least five books this summer and every adult to help. We are really excited to engage children in Let's Read. Let's Move. and look forward to working with the Corporation for National Service and the rest of the Administration on this important initiative."
Let's Read. Let's Move. is part of the Obama Administration United We Serve summer service initiative, a nationwide effort calling on all Americans to make service a part of their daily lives. As part of its role in this initiative, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) will invite Cabinet members, public officials and celebrities to read books to children, promote healthy lifestyles and participate in games and fitness activities with children in pre-kindergarten through third grade. The books, refreshments, games and equipment for fitness activities have been donated by Target, which is one of the organizations answering President Obama's call to service.

Wiltz Leaving Style
Teresa Wiltz is leaving the Washington Post's Style section, FishbowlDC has learned. Style's Deputy AME Steve Reiss tells staffers, "She's going tobe writing for The Root and working on a couple of book projects."
Teresa Wiltz is leaving the Washington Post's Style section, FishbowlDC has learned. Style's Deputy AME Steve Reiss tells staffers, "She's going tobe writing for The Root and working on a couple of book projects."
So which reporters were denied a seat on the Obama plane (the story is all the rage today)?
From the Washington Times, it was Christina Bellantoni.
From the New York Post, it was Geoff Earle (random side note: Earlier Charlie Hurt was booted from the plane after the campaign objected to a column of his).
From the Dallas Morning News, it was Todd J. Gillman.
"There's no doubt in my mind that it's political" says one reporter familiar with the Obama campaign's recent reporter manuevers. "This is like what the Bushies do.."
>UPDATE: The Dallas Morning News is up with its own reaction.
Lots of coverage today about Portfolio magazine's recent woes, but a spokesperson tells FishbowlDC that any internal changes won't affect anything in Washington, where Matt Cooper resides and writes for the magazine.
We told you earlier about the Washington Post's coverage plans for Election Night.
Now, we've learned that Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Dana Priest will anchor washingtonpost.com's live online video coverage. This is her first time doing so.
UPDATE: Lois Romano will also assume co-anchor duties alongside Priest.
Hotline's Nora McAlvanah profiles former HRC 08 flak Phil Singer in the latest Politics magazine.
Some choice bits:
"With the exception of [press aide] Jay Carson, they had the worst press operation–for their candidate as well as for the media–of any Democratic campaign I've covered in 25 years. Their job was to help reporters, not antagonize them with arrogant behavior and complaints to editors," says Newsweek Senior Editor Jonathan Alter.
More than anyone else, Singer came to symbolize the underlying problem of Clinton's ill-fated bid: a notion of inevitability, combined with hostility toward the media. Singer has been accused of everything from bringing NBC's Andrea Mitchell to tears to spreading a false rumor that political reporter Anne Kornblut was fired from The New York Times. Singer now plainly admits his failings. "I yelled at more reporters than I ever dreamed I'd yell at," he says. "Honestly, I deeply regret it because not only was it wrong, but it got in the way, it made me less effective."
With his candidate down and having burned his bridges with members of the press and his staff, the last few months of the election were difficult at best. The open attitude the press shop hastily adopted in January deteriorated almost as quickly as it started. By March, when the campaign had moved into Texas , traveling reporters were forced to file their stories on Clinton's Austin town hall event in a men's room at a separate community center. Right or wrong, Singer got the blame for much of this treatment. "Because of Phil's professional reputation, he probably got blamed for a lot of things he didn't do," Burton says. "And because of his skills, he probably never got blamed for a lot of things he did."
By the end of the campaign, Singer wasn't on speaking terms with four national reporters at The Washington Post, and three members of his own staff say they weren't speaking to him.
Read the rest here.
More bad news from around the journalism community:
The Washington Post Co. today reported an 86 percent decline in third-quarter earnings compared with the same period last year, as a significant loss at the flagship newspaper offset gains at the company's education and cable divisions.
For the quarter, The Post Co. had net income of $10.3 million ($1.08 per share) on $1.1 billion in revenue, compared with net income of $72.5 million ($7.60) on $1 billion in revenue in 2007.

From Global Security Newswire:
The FBI arrested a California man yesterday for allegedly mailing packages with sugar packets labeled as anthrax, the Associated Press reported
Marc Keyser, of Sacramento, Calif., is accused of mailing sugar packets labeled as anthrax in an apparent effort to warn of the dangers of bioterrorism
The packages contained a compact disc with the label "Anthrax: Shock and Awe Terror" and included a sugar packet labeled "Anthrax sample" and displaying a biohazard symbol. …
The FBI initiated its investigation Monday after one of the packages arrived at The Atlantic magazine in Washington, AP reported.
After an Atlantic intern opened the package — marked with Keyser's return mailing address, a Web site address and a phone number — supervisors assessed that the letter appeared to be a poorly crafted publicity effort for a documentary film.

NCIS: Los Angeles Review: Callen vs. Gaddafiby Steve Marsi at . Comments
The international angle of last night's NCIS: Los Angeles was both topical and compelling, but "Deadline" was most notable for its long-awaited, surprisingly substantive reveals on the Callen front.
Perhaps Hetty felt she could no longer be cryptic about it. I half expected the show to pull back, in Lost fashion, and leave us dangling after she divulged G.'s mother's name to end last week.
Instead, this week's episode did the opposite, picking up right where Hetty left off. Callen now knows his CIA origins, why his mother was killed, and why he personally was marked for death.
What he doesn't know - and Hetty apparently doesn't either - is who the father is.
Callen's grandfather was tasked with hunting down war criminals in Romania, and the Comescu family certainly qualified. It was this that resulted in his mom's death when she tried to return to the country.
It's incredible how long Hetty has been deeply enmeshed in international espionage and law enforcement. Her admission that she was moments away from potentially saving Callen's mother was stunning.
This also solidifies her place as his mother figure, which we've observed for two-plus seasons now. Hetty-Gibbs comparisons don't come along too often, but she's as close to family as this agent has.
The question now is how will Callen respond? Will he finally be at peace?
Forget about it. The show managed to give fans a ton of new details while at the same time opening the door to another mystery in the identity of his father. Funny how that happens in the NCIS world.
Chris O'Donnell was called upon for some pretty serious acting in this installment - those kind of life details aren't dropped on your lap every day - but was convincing. Linda Hunt, as always, was stellar.
The episode opened similarly to how NCIS did an hour earlier, with a reporter on the scene followed by a death on camera. I enjoy little tie-ins like that, though the shows are markedly different overall.
In LA's case, a reporter was slain just as she was about to do a story on a Libyan freedom fighter named "El-Libi." Libya, as we know, is under siege from insurgents attempting to oust Muammar Gaddafi.
El-Libi broadcasts from the U.S., and is clearly a target of a Libyan government desperately clinging to power. A U.S. citizen, he started "radio free Libya" after Gaddafi shut down the Internet in Libya.
Despite appearances, he did not send his message to the rebels from Libya or anywhere near North Africa. He was broadcasting from a Middle Eastern market deep in the heart of the City of Angels.
A Gaddafi loyalist, the market operator and El-Libi's father learned about this and informed Libyan secret police, betraying his son. Only this happened some time ago ... and El-Libi is not who he seems.
Rather than merely eliminating him, Gaddafi's men impersonate El-Libi to lead the rebels fighters into a trap and slaughter them. Fortunately, Callen and the team were able to thwart this just in time.
Another strong episode overall, well tied in with current global events and featuring some fun character moments on top of Callen's backstory. Not a lot more you can ask for from NCIS: Los Angeles.
A few closing thoughts and observations before turning it over to you ...
- It's great to have the traditional partnerships back and Hunter gone, although you know she's bound to resurface at any time. The only question is when and under what circumstances.
- Callen's sister was mentioned once again. Hmm ...
- Is Deeks actually getting some or is he all talk?
- Sorry Sam. Team Monty all the way.

This episode was repeated last night (13 March 2012) and having read the later posts about Hunter being Callen's sister, let's not be so quick to dismiss this. At the end of the ep, Callen is viewing a photo of his mother--who was a very pretty brunette bearing a resemblance to Hunter. And let's not forget Hunter infiltrated the Comescu family and killed its leader--seems like something a dutiful member of the "Callen" family would do (even if it was a government-endorsed mission).
Anybody know the singer or song that was played at the end of episode 4?
This show is getting worse and worse. The previous seasons were pretty slow moving for me, but the addition of Deeks kept it on my DVR list. This new season, however, is so bad I've taken it off my DVR queue. The continuing saga of Callen's identity is completely overdone it's not even remotely interesting anymore. Do the writers really think they can stretch out this storyline for yet another season? 'Cause frankly it's extremely painful to watch. Plus, why do they bother calling this show NCIS when they hardly do anything Navy related (and when they do, there seems to be six degrees of separation between them)? The original NCIS show is more true to form and a hundred times better! L.A. is nothing like it. If this show was about a counter terrorism organization (CIA maybe-if they could ever dress like federal agents), it would be one thing. But NCIS is not only a misnomer but a gross insult to the original show, to say nothing of the real life agency. So, good bye NCIS LA. And good riddance!
I think hunter is callens long lost sister hetty trusts her & believes in her like she does callen
Based on the information in the season one finale, "Callen, G" I don't believe Hunter is his sister. Callen asked Hetty at the end of the Deadline episode how he and his sister made it back into America after his mother was killed and Hetty told him that she didn't know. She eventually did find them because according to the season one finale, Nate found a notebook with the addresses of all foster homes and orphanages they both lived in. She stopped tracking 11 year old Amy after the orphanage drowning accident so she was aware that Hannah Lawson did switch beds that night and take Amy's name.
Good point about no sister in the flashbacks. I hadn't thought about that. Hetty said that she hadn't gotten there in time to save Clara but I had the impression that she did get there right after and was able to do something to help Callen. She also said the mission to get Clara out of the country was scrubbed at the last minute. I wonder were that is going to lead?
I hope that Hunter is not Callen's sister as I cannot stand the character at all. Glad to see her gone from the show at this point. I agree that she will probably turn up again later but hopefully much later. I was so very glad to see Hetty back, Eric whistling to call the team to Ops again, and the teams back to normal. As far as Callen's first name, I'm not going to be quick to assume that his mother named him George after his grandfather. I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those shows where we don't really find out what his name is until the series ends. Or Shane Brennan could pull a Young Riders stunt and leave us guessing forever. My biggest new question from this episode is why the Comescus left Callen alive on the beach a after killing his mother? It doesn't fit in with the bloodthirsty picture that was painted in the character of Alexa Comescu. Come to think of it, why have there been no flashbacks of his sister on the beach with him and his mother? Where was she? Especially since his father's identity is in question now. Come on Deeks and Kensi! These two are one of the highlights of the show for me. I think Deeks is just "talking" rather than getting. He was way too interested in the adult content in Kensi's journal.
The Deeks and Kensi banter is enough already. Why can't they get their act together? Did anyone notice the loaded conversation with the camera guy? "Heat"! Come on Densi!
Thanks, David, I was petty sure the original El-Libi was killed and his friend took his place. After I read the episode overview I couldn't figure out how I got so sideways with the story line. Good plot and love the addition of Monty. Very happy to be getting Callen's family history but thought it would have been logical for one of his first questions to have been what his given name was.I also would like to know what Hetty meant when she said she couldn't help G.s' sister but was determined to save him. I still think Hunter could be the sister and I'm not sure even that will endear her to me. Oh well, let the week fly by! I really need to invest in a DVR.

CUAnswers offers tips to prevent fraud
Permanent link
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (2/19/09)--Since the Heartland Payment Systems data breach and a recent Visa fraud alert about attacks on audio response systems, CU*Answers is advising credit unions how to prevent fraud attacks designed to gain account information via audio response banking. Among its recommendations:
Monitor personal identification number (PIN) activity.
If a member's account is listed repeatedly, it could either mean the member is struggling and needs assistance, or someone is trying to guess the member's PIN. *
Review your procedures for resetting PINs.
If you do not have a good verification system to identify a member when someone calls and asks to reset a PIN, you are putting your members at risk. Bad guys sometimes have access to a member's name and other personal information. When in doubt, ask the member to visit the branch to verify identity before changing the PIN. *
Check your default access settings.
Do you automatically grant access to audio response for new members, even if they never elect to use it? Wait to grant access until the member requests it, and set up a confidential PIN while the member is in your presence. *
Remind your members about audio response.
Once the members are used to online banking, they don't use audio as often. Suggest they use the service periodically and change their PIN frequently.
CU*Answers is a West Michigan-based credit union service organization serving 165 credit unions across the nation with a variety of processing services.

CUNA Mutual to cover foreclosed commercial property
Permanent link
MADISON, Wis. (2/19/09)--CUNA Mutual Group has partnered with Lee & Mason Financial Services Inc. to offer a stand-alone Commercial Foreclosure Property and Liability insurance policy for credit unions' member business loans.
Today's difficult economy is straining member business loan (commercial loan) portfolios, said Michael Harty, director of Credit Union Protection Product Distribution for CUNA Mutual. "Commercial and residential property foreclosures are increasing and creating a potential coverage gap in a credit union's insurance program," Harty said. "CUNA Mutual's Bond policy protects a credit union against coverage gaps for residential foreclosures. Our partnership with Lee & Mason now enables credit unions to better manage risks associated with owning an increasing number of foreclosed commercial properties." Credit unions can choose coverage of property (building, contents, including equipment) and/or business liability. The commercial foreclosure policy features:
* Vacant, partially vacant, and business personal property coverage; * Three-, six-, nine-, or 12-month policy term options; * Single-coverage property, single-coverage business liability or both; * Basic (vandalism and malicious mischief) or special perils (includes basic perils and theft); * Actual-cash-value valuation; and * Deductible, limits of liability, and comprehensive options.
Harty said credit unions should insure a foreclosed property when performing any of the following activities:
* Filing a complaint for foreclosure. The credit union or its legal representative has deposited in the court or recorded with the court a pleading by which a foreclosure action begins; * Perfecting its right of repossession. The credit union has executed the power to evict the current occupant; * Acquiring through foreclosure, repossession, or deed in lieu of the foreclosure. The credit union now owns the property by foreclosure, or takes back the property through repossession, or the property is transferred to the credit union instead of or before the foreclosure occurs; and * Purchasing the property. The credit union has bought the property.

Enduring It Well
Enduring It Well takes a deeper look at some of life's real challenges and features real people who have endured or are enduring trials well.
Siblings Greg Bernson, Cappey Jones, and Stephanie Kirk have spent a lifetime organizing service home makeovers, financial assistance, and other acts of service to those in need. During this episode of Enduring It Well, the Bernson siblings share ideas on how to "go and do likewise" as the Savior taught. We learn the importance of service by example, as they learned from their service-oriented parents. They teach us that giving service means giving of our time, resources, and love.

My name is Laura, and I dyed my hair dark red but my natural color is a medium brunette. I have short hair and was wondering how I could go back to brunette with low maintenance as it is only red in parts.
Any help would be much appreciated.
As summertime approaches, many of us ladies are ready to get back to our roots, so to speak; back to a low-maintenance color so we can concentrate on the great weather and relaxation. The main issue here is that you have red only in some places, so I've laid out a couple of routes.
First things first: If you want to get your hair back to natural, you want to start by using a cleansing cream daily. That's a shampoo that's designed to pull the extra pigment out of your hair in preparation for color. It's used often for people wanting to go blonde from another color, and it's much gentler than just slapping bleach on it and waiting for it to power through the old color. The cleansing cream will help your hair shed the red — deep (bluish) red is usually pretty quick to wash out, while its orangey undertone will stick around for a long time — and likely put it back to your original level or even lighter than your natural color. You heard right: Even though the red was technically darker than your natural hair color, the chemicals used to get red to really stick in your hair are pretty strong and will often lift the base tone quite a bit before depositing the red pigment into it. Therefore, wash away the red, you're left with a light orange, perfectly receptive for dyeing brown. Make sure you follow up with a really good conditioner after the cleansing cream, and if you notice it's getting kind of dry, maybe skip a day.
The next step depends on how much red there really is and how it's distributed:
A) If the red is in big sections, sections big enough to isolate one at a time and color individually, then do that. Or better yet, have your hairdresser do that. Since the sections are all washed out and orangey, she'll just put a natural brown color onto them. They'll probably come very close to matching your natural color — nothing is perfect, but it should blend — and you'll be free to go.
B) If the red is kind of all over, like in tiny highlights diffused into all of your color, your best bet is a demipermanent no-lift color, all over. What that will do is to deposit color onto your whole head — it might darken your natural-colored hair, but only temporarily — and it'll stick to the old red pieces. It tends to grab the hair that's more porous because it's such a gentle type of color, and either not take at all on your natural hair or wash off back to normal, within a few weeks at worst. Just make sure your hairdresser isn't putting permanent color on your hair or you'll end up with roots worse than you had before. The demipermanent is also great because it'll preserve your natural dimension, and it'll make your hair really shiny.
To give you realistic expectations, those colored pieces are always going to be a tiny bit different from the rest of your hair. It's just the nature of hair color. Those pieces have seen more stress than the rest so they're going to react to whatever you do to your hair differently than the parts that weren't colored. But it sounds to me like you're not so much looking to undo what was done, but just to get it back to where you feel like you won't have to worry with it for a while.
The main thing is that cleansing cream. That'll pull the artificial pigments out without damaging your hair (like bleach would) and equalize your color levels so that the hair can receive that medium brown again.
I hope this helps! Lovelies, if you've got any hair quandaries you need some advice on, we're always happy to help. So don't hesitate to ask!
Have you ever dealt with a similar hair issue? What route did you end up taking to remedy it?

Qantas A380 Engine Failure from the passenger view
SYDNEY - Qantas A380 Engine Failure Footage from the passenger view and Captain speech. Australia's Qantas Airways grounded its fleet of Airbus A380 superjumbos on Thursday after an engine failure forced a dramatic emergency landing in Singapore. Chief executive Alan Joyce said Qantas's six A380s - the flagship of its 191-strong fleet - had been suspended from take-off pending investigations into the incident. 'We have decided that we will suspend all A380 take-offs until we're fully comfortable that sufficient information has been obtained about QF32,' Mr Joyce told reporters in Sydney. Mr Joyce said the plane experienced engine trouble just six minutes into its flight from Singapore to Sydney, before turning back and landing at the city-state's Changi Airport. The double-decker plane, carrying 433 passengers and 26 crew, dumped fuel over Indonesia before returning to Singapore. Qantas was earlier forced to deny media reports that the plane had crashed. However, Mr Joyce said the incident would not affect an order for more of the giant aircraft. 'We have orders for over 20 aircraft. Those aircraft will continue to arrive,' he said

At least 28 mosques and Shia religious institutions have been destroyed in the Gulf state since the crackdown on Shia-led protests began in Mid-March, the opposition group, Al Wefaq, told Al Jazeera's Charles Stratford.
The Justice Ministry, however, said it was tearing down the mosques because they were not licensed.
This map of Shia sites of worship that have been destroyed by the Bahrainiauthorities was compiled by Fahad Desmukh, a Bahraini blogger.View the full map here.
Ordinary Bahrainis were hesitant to speak to our correspondent; they were fearful of government informers who they said were everywhere.
"It is a war against identity," one man told our correspondent. "This Sunni government of Bahrain is fighting the Shia, destroying their places of worship and holy places."
Adel Al-Moawda, deputy chairman of the Bahraini parliament, denied the report that mosques were being destroyed.
"The mosques that have been demolished, most of them are not mosques," Al-Moawda told Al Jazeera.
"There were only expansions of mosques in some private territories. Very few numbers of mosques, which are illegally built, have been demolished."
He said Sunni mosques were also among these few that had been demolished. "What is happening in Bahrain now ... everybody is following the law and order, that is all," he added.
Strong sense of fear
"The sense of fear amongst the people that you are trying to talk to is really quite incredible," Stratford said.
He said Al Jazeera found it very difficult to find Sunni voices since the crackdown began in mid-March.
"A lot of the sympathisers who were pushing for reform from the Sunni side have gone into hiding, seemingly very intimidated by the crackdown," our correspondent added.
"It is important to recognise that before the crackdown on the roundabout there were sizable demonstrations by the Sunni population."
Earlier, Al Jazeera revealed that medics who worked to assist wounded protesters have been targeted, with hundreds facing arrest and investigation by the regime.
Bahraini police also carried out raids on girls' schools, detaining and beating them, during its crackdown, secret filming by Al Jazeera's Stratford revealed.
The government denied this report. "The allegations made by Al Jazeera English are totally baseless and without credibility," sources quoted by the Bahraini news agency said.
Al-Moawda repeated the denial, saying "there is a big exaggeration in some of what I have just heard now about torturing doctors and nurses".
This is the third in a series of exclusive reports from Bahrain.

Allergy-Proof Your Bedroom
Check out three ways to reduce mold and dust mites
By Abigail L. Cuffey
Special Offer
It's the room you probably spend the most time in—so keep it mold-and dust mite-free. Using special mattress and pillow covers and regularly washing bedding in hot water are givens, but Clifford Bassett, MD, director of Allergy & Asthma Care of New York, says there's more you can do.
1. Keep the humidity below 50% (check it with a hygrometer, at drugstores for about $15). If necessary, use a dehumidifier.
2. Shower before bedtime if you've spent the day outdoors so you don't have an allergen sleepover.
3. Set your air conditioner to "do not circulate," so fresh air is always pumping in.
