The Muslim College aims to implement its curriculum within an explicit acknowledgement that international society is a multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-faith.
In order to fulfil this goal in the MA in Islamic Studies programme, the educational approach is closely linked with the nature of the student group undertaking the programme. This approach is based on an understanding of students as active contributors as well as learners, and this is clearly reflected in the central use which the programme makes of peer group presentation and review of work undertaken on the programme.
This educational philosophy and its connected learning methods are particularly important in a context where, because of the diversity of their cultural and ethnic backgrounds, the students themselves can also play an important role as a resource in the teaching and learning involved in the programme. In order to achieve this, however, a delicate tension needs to be held between affirmation and respect of the students' own cultural and ethnic traditions and the critical explanation of these traditions appropriate to the programme.
The Code of Practice is that all students and staff of all backgrounds can explore new ideas and experiences and engage critically with their diverse heritage. At the same time, a plural community can only function as an educational community when all its members feel affirmed and respected as well as challenged and questioned.
Where English is not the students' first language, the College's Language Centre might offer language support.
Entry Requirements
For the academic year 2011-2012, all applicants MUST have a good first degree, or the overseas equivalent. Applicants whose first degree in other subjects (e.g. Mathematics, History, English, etc.) will also be considered for admission.
The Muslim College recognisees that it is essential to provide equal opportunities to anyone who wishes to pursue an M.A in Islamic studies. The college will do all it can to educate and provide advice and guidance to its students at all levels without prejudice. The Muslim College will therefore allow anyone to come on to our M.A programme provided they fulfil all our criterions and meet our accords.
Academic Fees
The Academic fee covers the cost of registration, tuition, examination, review of coursework and class assignments and the cost of student amenities. The fee does not cover the cost for accommodation, meals and general living expenses.
The Muslim College academic fee for its two year MA Programme will be £5,000 (£2,500 per annum).
The Muslim College is committed to broadening the understanding and aptitude of all its students. The college therefore provides bursaries and scholarships for both home and international students. These funds will not have to be repaid at the end of the year and covers the cost of its academic fee. For more information, please contact the Muslim College.

I've got my frozen banana peels (quite alot actually) and I'm currently drying coffee grounds. I've got 5 double knockouts that I planted in April. They are still relatively small (about 1-2 feet tall, and the same wide).What do I do with these peels and grounds now? I've heard to blend them with water and pour it into the mulch around the plants, but how much? how many peels per gallon, and how many cups of grounds? I didn't prepare for this....can I do too much and injure them? |

Hello Olivia, I'm not sure which recipe or method you are referring to, but it sounds like a great idea! I usually just bury banana peels and/or coffee grounds in the compost/mulch around my roses, and let them decompose naturally. I don't think you need to worry about being too precise, because you're not using chemicals, and no, I don't think you can harm them with banana peels and coffee grounds; mine sure seem to love it! I've never heard of blending them; it probably gets more nutrients to the roots faster. I think I will try that method, next time I feed my roses! I wish you and your roses a great growing season! Maybe someone else has a specific recipe.... |

The absolute value of PSA has been the long-term standard of care to determine whether one's PSA elevation is significant. Previously, the magic number of "4" was defined as being the upper limit of "normal."

Tories vote down auto-enrolment in protest
The Conservative Party voted against the regulations for auto-enrolment in the House of Commons yesterday in protest at the Government's delays to implementation and news that Pada plans to sign the admin contract for the Nest scheme before the general election.
The party lost the vote but the move prompted the Government to claim the Tories "voted against pensions for millions" in a release today.
Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Yvette Cooper says the move is a "shocking attack" on pension provision for people in work.
Speaking to Money Marketing, Conservative Shadow pensions minister Nigel Waterson (pictured) says: "We had a committee yesterday which considered the regulations for auto-enrolment.
"Although we did welcome some of the regulations I was basically kicking up a fuss about the long delay in implementing personal accounts and what I described as their cavalier attitude to procurement on the eve of a general election.
"We had a bit of a punch up about the Pada contract. We voted against the regulations to protest what was going on.
"We lost but were trying to make a point about the fact the implementation of personal accounts seems to be turning into a marathon not a sprint."
But Cooper says: "These reforms, supported by the CBI and the British Chambers of Commerce amongst others, will give millions of working people vital pension support for the first time - the most radical reforms for working people since the introduction of the national minimum wage.
"Now we know the Tories want to kick people in the teeth and take that pension promise away."
Meanwhile, Pensions Minister Angela Eagle says: "I am astonished that the Tories have thrown their toys out of the pram just when the prize of pension saving for millions of people on low and medium earnings is in sight. This is breathtaking irresponsibility.
"The Tories are being disingenuous and hypocritical by talking in favour of the consensus but voting against giving millions of people access to a workplace pension."
Hargeaves Lansdown head of pensions research Tom McPhail says: "This is like watching a poor quality spoof of the Monty Python People's Front of Judea sketch. The Tories are right that the delays are short term political sleight of hand to save money.
"Voting against the reforms is just petty and the tone of moral outrage from Cooper and Eagle is contrived and dishonest. I say a plague on both your houses, reform of the pension system is too important to be the subject of petty bickering."
The Personal Accounts Delivery Authority announced this week that Tata Consultancy Services was the successful bidder for the National Employment Savings Trust scheme administration services and that it intends to sign a contract with the company later this month before the expected general election in May.
Chancellor Alistair Darling announced in his pre-Budget report in December that employers could contribute only 1 per cent to their employees' pensions for an extra year, resulting in members not recieving the full 3 per cent contribution until October 2017.
The Treasury estimated the move would save it £2.4bn.

The more this Governent tries to push through the less likely it is to get it's own way.
NEST is ill conceived and will not work. We already have a range of options for everyone in relation to Pensions.
It is about time this whole thing was thought out again and this time with at least a little bit of advice from the industry.
Never before in our history have we seen one Political Party mess around with Pensions so much, how many changes have there been and nothing is given a chance to bed down, one bloody hairbrained scheme after another from a hairbrained system that appears to be on a mission to self destruct.
When will the the man/women on the street be considered in all of this.
Could someone please check to make sure that TATA have not got guaranteed terms on their admin contract, because this NEST scheme will not last. You can bet your life that there will be only one winner in this. You guessed it. TATA.
Richard SmithNice to see that Labour are honest in their admissions about the lack of benefits NEST will provide for low earners!
What I read into this is that the Tories have other plans which the media and Nasty Labour don't realise. To suggest the Tories are against pensions is laughable and mud slinging by bitchy Labour trying to gain cheap political points.
Lets just remember pre Nasty Labour we had the best funded private pensions in the world, now we have a decimated private pension sector whilst the public sector employees ride off into the sunset at our expense.
Lets just watch this space. As what we all need is a reason for the public to save e.g. incentives and a reason for products to be sold e.g. commissions. If it's not broke why try to fix it?
Finally, public sector employees should have their pensions cut even in payment. As we in the private sector have had our raided by the politics of jealousy of Mr Boom & Bust!I think the final line of this piece says it all: Personal Accounts/Nest was delayed by the government to save money.
Ironic Labour ministers talking about the Tories pensions attack given the Labour record on attacking pension since 1997 and the terminal damage they have done in the UK.
I really do want rid of this Govt as they are clearly at a loss of how to handle this mess but a hung Parliament? Could be even more messy.The Tories' position might look a bit better were they to announce something ~ anything ~ in the way of alternative proposals to quasi-compulsion into NEST's which simply retain all the faults of the present pensions framework.
What about all the still empty stakeholder shells that employers were obliged to set up nine years ago? Doesn't that tell us something about the need to make pension plans more attractive instead of forcing people into a scheme that they don't understand and don't want?
Compulsion isn't the solution. What is really needed is total reform of the present pensions framework.
If the CBI and the British Chambers of Commerce really support NESTs (though somehow I doubt it), then whoever the parties are who have indicated such support on behalf of those organisations obviously haven't read any of the numerous publications decrying all the things wrong with the present pensions framework. If they did read those publications, then they'd realise that their support for NESTs is lamentably misplaced.The Tories' position might look a bit better were they to announce something ~ anything ~ in the way of alternative proposals to quasi-compulsion into NEST's which simply retain all the faults of the present pensions framework.

Do they really want to win this election? They'd better start playing the 'game' a bit more intelligently if they do.What a huge waste of tax payers money this is - let alone the millions that the pension industry is yet again going to have to stump up to offer this new scheme to people who don't want it and will undoubtedly opt out at their first opportunity until retirement means testing is done away with. I hope the whole industry boycots the whole thing!!
Why oh why dont politicians realise that they don't have to keep reinventing the wheel and use existing stakeholder contracts instead, thereby saving millions for everyboby - I have every confidence that the tories would still want to go ahead with this and still set up auto enrollment but without the added complexity using existing plans instead.
Labour should also be ashamed of themselves for signing before the election - maybe Tata forced them to however I think that this is yet another cynical tactic to cause even more problems for a new government when they loose, as they certainly havn't had my vote for many years now.The government's duplicity over the arrangements for NEST is compounded by Yvette Cooper's juvenile outburst as reported above.
Once again the financial industry is faced by a major change in pension provision (remember the Stakeholder fiasco that cost us all millions?) the legislation for which once again is woolly, ill thought out and full of holes.
The Tories are right to try and bring the public's attention to what is actually going on.
Regarding auto-enrolment - it's a joke! The employers have a duty to enroll but employees can opt-out after three months. who is going to police this? Does this option not stink of 'breathtaking irresponsibility'?
What so marvellous about a mandatory pension system that has an opt-out albeit a recurring one (every three years).
If labour really wants to mend the 'pensions timebomb' they need to be much tighter on the rules, and have plans that would work in practice. Once again we are faced with a hotch-potch of a plan that's going to cost employers and taxpayers a lot of money and not achieve its primary objecvtive - that is, to
ensure that all employees make pension contributions, no matter what they earn.
Give people the option to opt-out and they will!

As many of you know, I publish a free e-newsletter for writers, and I just sent out my annual double issue for the summer, which included a couple of exercises designed to keep you going but not be too taxing in the summer heat (or cold, I suppose, depending on where you live).
Here's the first exercise: Choose one piece of writing to polish up for submission in the fall. Because many literary journals don't accept submissions during the summer, this is a perfect time for revision. Whether you're thinking of submitting a manuscript to an agent or a short story to magazine or contest, spend time this summer revising, polishing, soliciting feedback, and whatever else your project needs to be ready to submit when fall rolls around.
Happy revising!

Toyama Ryu
The creation of Toyama Ryu style of Japanese swordsmanship is related to Toyama Military Academy, where this style was established in between two world wars. In 1873, in Toyama district of Tokyo, was formed Toyama Military Academy (Rikugun Toyama Gakko). In 1937, Toyama Academy was moved to a place which was about 40 km southwest from Tokyo, near the Zama city. This military school remained at that location until it was closed, in 1945. Toyama Academy had six big dojos for Kendo and one for Jukenjutsu (bayonet fencing). All dojos were 60m long and 12m wide.
Jukendo training at Toyama Military Academy
Lieutenant Morinaga Kiyoshi was the initiator of the creation of Toyama style of swordsmanship. In 1925, he was still lieutenant and the director of Kenjutsu Kenkyu Kai (Fencing Research Committee) at Toyama Academy. The objective of this comitee was to codify a practical system of use of Japanese sword – katana at a modern battlefield, which would be studied, as a subject, at the Military Academy. The idea was to use the most efficient techniques from classical styles (koryu) of Iaido, Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu. Lieutenant Morinaga decided to ask for technical help one of the most eminent teachers of swordsmanship at that time: Nakayama Hakudo. Nakayama sensei was a famous teacher of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido and the founder of Muso Shinden Ryu.
The second step in creation of the new military fencing system was the analysis of the expert reports on great fencing battles in the recent history of Japan. The conclusion based on the analysis of casualties and wounded, during the rebellion in Satsuma, in 1877, was that the most common efficiently performed cut was kesa giri – a downward diagonal cut. The cause of almost all fatal injuries, was exactly that technique. The logical conclusion was that the technical base of the new military fencing style should be kesa giri.
1945, North China
The result of work of Kenjutsu Kenkyu Kai and Nakayama sensei, was a new style, established in 1925, initially called Gunto no Soho. It was consisted of five kata and of tameshigiri (test cutting technique). For the purpose of test cutting practice, were used the targets made of rice straw – makiwara or tameshiwara. These rice straw rolls were put into water to sank for a certain period of time, in order to be solid and moist like the parts of human body.
In 1939, Gunto no Soho system was redefined. The most important reason for this reformation was insufficient fencing skill, demonstrated during a Japanese military intervention in China and Manchuria. The initiator of this redefinition of the basic form was, once again, Morinaga Kyoshi (colonel at that time). Certain technical details of the old fifth kata were changed and the sixth and seventh kata were added.
After 1945, appeared three lineages of interpretation of original Toyama Ryu: Nakamura-ha, Morinaga-ha and Yamaguchi-ha. Nakamura Taizaburo sensei is the founder of Nakamura-ha. He added to the series the eighth kata (Itto Ryodan) and introduced some technical changes in other kata of the pre-WWII Toyama Ryu. In 1977, he founded Zen Nippon Toyama Ryu Iaido Renmei. After the war, he also established International Battodo Federation, which, for its main objective, has the development of Nakamura Ryu. The founder of Morinaga-ha is colonel Morinaga Kyoshi. He founded Dai Nippon Toyama Ryu Iaido Shinkokai . His most important follower is Tokutomi Tasaburo sensei.
Zan Geki Rikugun Toyama Gakko Ni Te – Combat Cutting
at Toyama Military Academy Yamaguchi-ha was founded by Yamaguchi Yukii – officer and instructor at Toyama academy.
It is essential to mention that the entire technical curriculum of the Toyama Ryu was incorporated to a style, which was founded by Nakamura Taizaburo sensei –Nakamura Ryu Battodo, and represents its technical base.
