Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) is a Salafi-jihadist militant group and U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO) operating in the Sahara and Sahel. The group traces its provenance to Algeria's civil war in the 1990s, and has in the past decade become an al-Qaeda affiliate with regional ambitions. Though AQIM and its offshoots pose the primary transnational terror threat in North and West Africa, they are unlikely to strike U.S. or Western interests beyond the region, U.S. officials say.
What are AQIM's origins?
AQIM's lineage extends back to a guerilla Islamist movement known as the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), which violently opposed the secular leadership in Algiers in the 1990s. The insurrection began after Algeria's French-backed military canceled a second round of parliamentary elections in 1992 when it appeared that the Islamic Salvation Front was poised to win power. In 1998, several GIA commanders grew concerned that brutal tactics such as beheadings were alienating their Algerian constituency, and broke away to found the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). GIA, now defunct, was delisted as an FTO in 2010.
GSPC initially drew support from the Algerian population by vowing to continue the rebellion without killing civilians, but a government amnesty and counterterrorism campaign drove it into disarray in the early 2000s.
The group aligned with al-Qaeda in the 2000s to retain relevance with high-profile attacks and improve recruiting [PDF] and fundraising, analysts say. Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's emir, who was at the time second in command, announced the union on September 11, 2006, and GSPC rebranded itself as AQIM the following January.
"Adopting the famous name may have enhanced AQIM's legitimacy among extremists and facilitated recruitment, while enabling al-Qaeda to burnish its international credentials." �Alexis Arieff, Congressional Research Service
The new name denoted the group's broadened aspirations, which after the merger included Western interests in addition to Algerian targets, analysts say. "Adopting the famous name may have enhanced AQIM's legitimacy among extremists and facilitated recruitment [PDF], while enabling al-Qaeda to burnish its international credentials and, potentially, access a region geographically close to Europe," wrote Alexis Arieff, an analyst at the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS).
That year, 2007, marked the high point for AQIM suicide attacks and other violent incidents in Algeria [PDF]. In Algiers in December, AQIM simultaneously bombed the regional UN headquarters [PDF] and the Algerian Constitutional Court, together killing thirty-three.
However, analysts say that recruitment suffered in response to the group's indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets and its new affiliation with the brutal tactics of al-Qaeda in Iraq. The al-Qaeda merger may have "discredited AQIM among Algerian Islamists focused on a domestic agenda and/or opposed to violence against civilians," Arieff wrote.
What are its objectives?
According to West Point's Combating Terrorism Center, AQIM's objectives include ridding North Africa of Western influence; overthrowing governments deemed apostate, including those of Algeria, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia; and installing fundamentalist regimes based on sharia. Analysts say AQIM's ideology blends global Salafi-jihadist dogma with regionally resonant elements, including references to the early Islamic conquest of the Maghreb and the Iberian Peninsula.
While these states of the Maghreb and Sahel are AQIM's "near enemy," the group has declared Spain and France its foremost "far enemies." France, in particular, has a long history as the region's colonial heavyweight, and continues to provide political and military support to local regimes AQIM opposes.
Where does AQIM operate?
A successful Algerian counterterrorism campaign forced AQIM from its base of operations along the Mediterranean coast south to the Sahel region that includes Niger, Mauritania, and Mali, where the group has established footholds. AQIM's members also joined the ranks of the insurgency in Iraq during the 2003�2011 war with the United States.
In a January 2013 Congressional testimony, then secretary of state Hillary Clinton compared the security risks in Mali to those of Taliban-era Afghanistan. "This is going to be a very serious ongoing threat because if you look at the size of northern Mali, if you look at the topography, it's not only desert, it's caves," she said. "We cannot permit northern Mali to become a safe haven."
AQIM has not attacked Europe or the United States, although individuals suspected to have ties to the group have been arrested in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The UN Security Council's al-Qaeda sanctions committee says European cells are a source of the group's funding.
In 2012, the U.S. State Department said AQIM had coordinated with other terrorist groups in the region, including Nigeria's Boko Haram, Somalia's al-Shabab, and Yemen's AQAP, with arms and funds flowing among them. Clinton and the former head of Africa Command, General Carter Ham, are among senior U.S. officials who said there were "links" between AQIM and the Libyan militants who attacked the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi in September 2012, but these allegations have not been substantiated in subsequent reporting or unclassified investigations.
What is its composition?
Much of AQIM's leadership is believed to have trained with other Arab volunteers�among them, Osama bin Laden�in Afghanistan during the 1979�1989 war against the Soviet occupation. Many returned to the Middle East and North Africa radicalized.
The group is divided into katibas, or brigades, which are organized in often independent cells. AQIM's top commanders [PDF] "may be rivals as much as comrades or they may operate relatively autonomously," according to Arieff. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin E. Dempsey likewise characterized AQIM as "a syndicate of groups who come together episodically, when it's convenient to them, in order to advance their cause. Sometimes their cause is terrorism. Sometimes it's criminal. Sometimes it's arms trafficking."
Algerian-born Abdelmalek Droukdel has led the group since 2004. Also known as Abou Mossab Abdelwadoud, he is a trained engineer and explosives expert. AQIM declared France its primary target under Droukdel's leadership.
Mokhtar Belmokhtar, a founding member of AQIM who led a battalion on the Algeria-Mali border, broke with the group in late 2012 and created his own organization known as the al-Mulathamun Battalion (aka Those who Sign in Blood Battalion). The one-eyed veteran of the anti-Soviet Afghan insurgency is believed to have masterminded the January 2013 hostage crisis at a natural-gas facility in eastern Algeria that left at least thirty-eight civilians dead, as well as twin suicide bombings in Niger that killed at least twenty-six in May.
U.S. secretary of state John Kerry designated al-Mulathamun an FTO in December 2013. CFR Senior Fellow John Campbell opposed the move, writing that it will have "little practical consequence, but [the] designation greatly enhances the profile and prestige of an individual and a group that, arguably, more closely resembles a bandit and smuggling network than a terrorist organization."
What are its tactics?
AQIM's tactics include guerilla-style raids, assassinations, and suicide bombings of military, government, and civilian targets. Its members have frequently kidnapped, and sometimes executed, aid workers, tourists, diplomats, and employees of multinational corporations.
The group raises money through kidnapping for ransom (KFR) and trafficking arms, vehicles, cigarettes, and persons, according to the U.S. State Department. AQIM's operational area saw an influx of arms in the aftermath of NATO's 2011 Libya air campaign.
Kidnappings not only raise funds, but also facilitate prisoner exchanges and discourage foreign enterprise in the region. In October 2012, David Cohen, undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the U.S. Treasury Department, said KFR was "the most significant terrorist financing threat today."
Belmokhtar's "family connections with local tribes allow [AQIM and affiliated groups] to capitalize on criminal opportunities in the southern Maghreb, such as smuggling, to finance terrorism," according to the UN sanctions committee. Cigarettes, a lucrative contraband, earned Belmokhtar the moniker Mr. Marlboro.
AQIM also smuggles narcotics, providing a vital Sahel way station between suppliers in Latin America and European markets, analysts say. In July 2012, Gen. Ham described AQIM as al-Qaeda's "wealthiest affiliate."
What is AQIM doing in Mali?
AQIM and splinter groups Ansar al-Dine and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) aided the semi-nomadic Tuaregs�a historically disenfranchised regional ethnic minority�who launched a rebellion in early 2012 against Mali's government and wrested control of the country's sparsely populated north. But they soon marginalized Tuareg forces and began implementing their own severe brand of sharia in the breakaway northern territory. According to the United Nations, the jihadist influx was particularly brutal for women, many of whom were raped and forced into marriage or prostitution.
Mali, a predominantly Muslim, landlocked West African nation that straddles the arid latitudes of the sub-Saharan Sahel, gained independence from France in 1960. Its democratization over the past two decades had been celebrated by Western donor states, but the military coup in 2012 and ongoing Islamist insurgency has exposed deep and destabilizing political rifts. (A transitional civilian government assumed power with the military's consent in early April.)
After a brief union combating state forces, Ansar al-Dine and MUJAO drove Tuareg separatists out of major towns including Gao, Timbuktu, and Kidal. MUJAO merged with Belmokhtar's al-Mulathamun Battalion in May 2013 to form al-Murabitoun, according to the State Department, which is covered under the same FTO designation.
How are Western and regional powers responding?
The State Department says "the best strategy for dealing with AQIM remains working with regional governments to increase their capability, foster regional cooperation, and counter violent extremism." While Algiers has abjured a direct counterterrorism role for Western powers�namely, the United States and France�it has welcomed indirect support, according to CRS.
The George W. Bush administration established the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership in 2005 to "take a holistic approach to countering violent extremism," providing civilian and military assistance to more than half a dozen partner countries in the Maghreb and Sahel�$44.3 million in fiscal year 2013. However, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that TSCP lacked a strategy beyond bilateral aid and has faced challenges from the outset. Mali is the third partner country since 2008 to experience a military coup, after Mauritania and Niger, which triggers a suspension of security assistance under U.S. law.
In December 2012, the UN Security Council authorized a military peacekeeping mission in Mali, known as MINUSMA, for which regional coalition Economic Community of West African States pledged thousands of troops. However, a rebel advance southward in January 2013, prior to the deployment of African forces, prompted Bamako to request immediate military assistance from France. French forces retook Gao, Timbuktu, and Kidal, pushing AQIM militants northward into the mountains.
In late 2013, militant Islamists were kept from major towns, though they sporadically attacked MINUSMA troops and claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and execution of two French journalists, highlighting the insecurity that remains in the country's north. The African-led peacekeeping mission was only at half of its full operational capacity (6,300 uniformed personnel out of an authorized 12,640) at the start of 2014.

Corn, Zucchini and Chicken Pizza
One last dish from before the vacation, rounding off my enjoyment of the fresh local corn. It had been a while since I had last had a pizza and I had been craving it. I was thinking that corn would work on a pizza with lots of gooey melted cheese. I also had a nice looking zucchini and I thought I would finish it off with some chicken. Instead of going with a tomato based pizza sauce I thought that a salsa verde based sauce would be really good. I sauteed all of the toppings in a pan and then tossed them with the salsa verde. Throw it on some pizza dough, top with a generous serving of cheese and bake it in an oven and its all done. It turned out to be a pretty tasty pizza. The sweet corn went well on a pizza and the salsa verde based sauce added a ton of flavour. I garnished the pizza with some fresh chopped cilantro when it came out of the oven.
1 chicken breast (cut into bite sized pieces)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
1/2 cup zucchini (chopped)
1/4 cup salsa verde
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1 pizza dough
1 handful Monterrey Jack cheese (grated)
1 handful cheddar cheese (grated)
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1. Season the chicken with the cumin, salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Add the chicken ans saute for about 3 minutes.
4. Add onion, corn and zucchini and saute for 2 minutes.
5. Add the salsa verde and saute for 2 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and mix in the cilantro.
7. Roll out the pizza dough.
8. Spread the mixture over the pizza dough and top with the cheese.
9. Bake in a preheated 450F oven until the dough is golden brown, about 10 minutes.

I suggest you go have a look up at their page. And oh yeah make an inquiry to their sales department as well. Pretend to be confused about licenses and you will have a sale engineer talk FUD about LGPLs "risks and limitations" in five minutes. I have a former boss who went anti-open source because a 5 min chat with a Qt sales engineer. He had a neutral view before that. Im sure he still misinformed and spreads the license FUD in every elevator pitch.
Qt is having having benefints every time open source is getting FUDed. Digias business case is to fuck open source by be two faced liars. And any one with a brain can fugure it out when the look at the business case.

Heres a toast to all those people with Down Syndrome who enrich our lives.
People with Downs syndrome are recognized for their significant contribution to peace.
The 2014 Public Peace Prize in the «Local Peacemaker » category was awarded to all people with Downs syndrome for their « real ability to spread peace to those around them ». According to their friends and relatives «persons with Downs syndrome develop a predisposition for peacemaking which blossoms when offered a favorable context. »
Jean Vanier agrees wholeheartedly « My experience in LArche helped me to discover that those who are weak, small, disabled are also prophets of peace. By their presence and gestures they open our hearts to understanding and compassion rather than awaken fear. In a mysterious way they break down the barriers that surround our hearts. »
...if on the first day of the new year, people from all over the world celebrated together by exchanging their wishes for peace
and each person made a resolution to create peace in their life, their home or their community
. We could help make a peaceful world!
Jean Vanier has an important message for schools in this month of bullying awareness.
The Transformative impact of LArche initiatives in secondary schools and Beyond
Secondary students in some provinces learn about LArche and Jean Vanier in their curriculum. For example, the new Ontario Grade 10 History and Civics courses ask students about the contribution of LArche to the lives of people who have disabilities in Canada and to Canadian society.
The greatness of a human being is to move from Me to We, Jean Vanier tells WE DAYs 20,000 student leaders and educators who filled the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Sept. 20th. Here is the full-length version of his video message. Check the Education page (tab above) in the coming months for other short videos and curriculum content on Jean Vanier, L'Arche and disability history responding to new Ministry of Education courses in Canadian Studies and Social Sciences.
Jean Vanier sent this video greeting to the North American Interfaith Network 25th anniversary conference (NAIN Connect), held at the University of Toronto in mid-August 2013. The conference theme was In Diversity is our Strength. The conference drew together people from a variety of religions across North America and Mexico. Sue Mosteller gave the keynote address, sharing stories of how relationships with individuals who have an intellectual disability have opened us to the gifts of those who may seem very different.
The international gathering of the Summer Institute on Theology and Disability was held at the University of Toronto this summer. Several LArche members attended, and LArche contributed to this interfaith conference in various waysorganizationally and financially, through the worship leadership of the Spirit Movers dance troupe and through a dinner and evening at the LArche Daybreak community (pictured here). One participant noted, It was clear that Jean Vanier is the reference point for the whole field of theology and disability. The Canadian contingent met during the conference and identified a name. Canadian Theology & Disability Network is a placeholder.
At the end of May , delegates from the 29 Canadian LArche communities met in Vancouver for a General Assembly where they approved a mandate and elected its national leaders for the next four years. Hollee Card was chosen to continue as National Leader, Gabrielle Beaulieu to be the new Vice National Leader, and John Rietschlin, to continue as President of the LArche Canada Board of Directors. Hollee has a long history in LArche and has been in national leadership since 1999. Gabrielle was in LArche Beloeil as an assistant and house leader and later was Vice Regional Leader and Interim Leader in Quebec. She is a professional social worker. John has given leadership on the Board for some time. He is Manager of the Older Adults Team in the Social Research Division at Human Resources Skills Development Canada (HRSDC). Delegates included LArche members with intellectual disabilities. The Assembly concluded with a festive meal and evening.
In July, grade 5 student Maya Pot travelled to Trosly-Breuil, France, with her dad, Warren, to help with videotaping Jean Vanier on themes related to creating a welcoming school culture and a better world--themes that are important to Canadian elementary and secondary schools and teachers and parents. There are 10 videos in 2 series, one more general and one on the theme of Hospitality, which is the "virtue for the month of September" in many Catholic schools.
The Diploma in Intellectual Disability Studies developed by St.F.X.U. with significant L'Arche Canada input and involvement received an Award of from CAUCE (the "Canadian Association for University Continuing Education") at its annual conference held this year in Saskatoon. In writing about its decision to bestow the award, CAUCE's Awards Committee said that they were deeply impressed by how the Program enriches the lives of those with intellectual disabilities, and the Program's community partnership approach."

Disability Is By Nature Anti-establishment
According to journalist and author Ian Brown, it is the impossibility for him and his disabled son Walker (The Boy in the Moon) to achieve much or even disappoint each other that allows them to be who they actually are with each other, thus escaping what society says we are supposed to be.
Read Ian Brown's reflections in the the Globe and Mail (August 27th 2011).
L'Arche Ontario Art Exhibit at Queen's Park
For over 40 years, the members of LArche in Ontario have been discovering the power of art as a way for members with intellectual disabilities to discover and express themselves, to connect with others, and to participate fully in the wider community.
The result is a wonderful exhibition full of vitality, energy and life that was presented May 28/29 at Queens Park during Doors Open Toronto.

I thought they deserved to win with the way they played in the final two periods but the first period wasn't strong at all. They were outshot 9-3; let's be honest, they were lucky to come away with 2 goals from that, especially the Clarkson PPG that bounced off of Fedotenko's skate.
Why do people keep saying "a win is a win" as if we didn't deserve it? A strong first period..
The Flyers were a little unlucky overall, it seemed, but Marty was fantastic.
I think we need more time to evaluate Matteau but offensively I think he's shown some nice things; he's not afraid to put the puck on net.

Listen to more books in The Wheel of Time series.

"This Series Rocks"
I am writing this review on the first of this series because as you consider beginning a multibook series you'll be wondering if the commitment is worth it. After having listened to all of the books now available on Audible (10 or 11 and the story is still not over) I am telling you to GO FOR IT. It took a several chapters to get my bearings with the material, but after that I was hooked in a terribly engrossing world of fantasy that I would never have thought would interest me. Some other reviewers have panned the narrators, and maybe with the first book they hadn't yet found their bearing either, but throughout the series they are outstanding in my opinion. I couldn't get enough of this story. I'm thankful that I came to it late, when there were already more than 10 books to enjoy. I admit that I have expected the author to wrap up this saga before now, but in reality I am thankful that he kept the characters and their world alive. I recommend this series with no reservations.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"A Masterpiece"
There is very little in the way of accolades that I could add to what has already been written about this book except to second the praise for it. When choosing a book, I do consider how many people have taken the time to rate and review a book, as well as what the reviews have to say. Therefore, the value of this book to me requires that I say something to encourage others to take it as a selection. This was my first Robert Jordan book. It's about 30 hours long and I finished it in two and a half days. I could not put it down. It is a masterpiece in almost every aspect of the word and I do not know how the narration could possibly have been improved. I was blown away.
I started my audible career with mainly epic fantasy. In recent years I have moved into fiction and historical fiction.
"everything you need to know"
If you read several of the listener ratings you will find that half love it and half hate it. This is not anything like LotR. This is bigger in every respect. The world is bigger, the characters are deeper and thjere are many, many, more of them. If you take on this series you need to be ready to focus. If you listen half heartedly you will be lost very quickly. I understand some of the points of the bad reviews. This series is detailed. You will always know what everyone is wearing and what every room looks like and some people will find it tiresome. I however really get a sense of being in the story and that is why I read/listen. If your thing is a movie type book, a few hours and everything is rapped up, then you are looking for something else. There are many great stand alone books on this site alone but if you are looking for a neck deep fantasy with as much intrigue as can be put on paper then look no further. Personally this and the Sword of Truth are my favorites. Be warned though that the author recently died and the 12th book (A Memory of Light) is now being written by Brandon Sanderson of Mistborn. The final installment is about 60% through the rough draft phase. I usually dont get books until the series is done because i cant stand waiting a year to see how it ends but just the fact that the last book is on its way has prompted me into a second go round on this series so I know exactly what is going on. WHether you get this one or not happy listening.
"Amazing Series, Amazing Readers"
I am overjoyed to find audible choose to carry this Unabridged series. It is pretty much the only place anywhere you can find this extraordinary Unabridged audio series. The abridged version of this series is horrible; however this version is a true and rare audio gem. I have listened to literally a few hundred audio books in my life, most of which were either sci-fi/ fantasy and this series stands out as one of the best I?ve heard. It has exquisite readers both Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are among the best audio readers I've ever heard. As anyone who has heard audio can probably relate to, the quality of the reader is vital to the experience of the book and these are simple two of the best in the business. They capture the characters perfectly and draw you in like few other readers can. Another great and fairly unique thing this audio reading does is when the books comes from the perspective of a female character Kate gives you the female voice to match, where as if you are in the head of a male character Michael reads to give you that male feel. This makes a big difference in the whole experience, how much the reading brings the character to life and draws you into their world. Speaking of which, Robert Jordan's WOT world is one of the most vivid, complex and original world I have experienced in fantasy. The world's complexity continues to grow throughout the huge epic series. It makes you want to know what is going on in different lands almost as much as what is happening with different characters. In the first half of this series each book is better then the one before as the main characters, the world and the adventure expands. If you get a chance, please request that audible carry the rest of this Unabridged series. As of now they carry book one (The Eye of the World) and two (The Great Hunt). I guess that's about it. Enjoy, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did.
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"Your first step down a very long and winding road."
The Eye of the World kicks off Robert Jordan's epic fantasy series and it is a step that should not be taken lightly. This first book is excellent and will likely have you listening to the next book in the journey before you know it. This is a long series (13+ books) and each book so far is between 23-41 hours of listening in unabridged format.
Some things you should know before you start:
1) Robert Jordan did not live long enough to finish the story, but he did pass along his vision for the conclusion to Brandon Sanderson who is writing the final books. Brandon Sanderson is an awesome Fantasy writer so the conclusion of the series is in good hands.
2) Robert Jordan can tend to be wordy at times and some of the books along the way feel a little bloated, but each one does advance the story.
3) The narration is done by 2 excellent narrators: Michael Kramer and Kate Reading. Each chapter will be read by one or the other depending on the chapter's main character. If the main character is female then Kate will read the entire chapter including the male voices. Michael will handle the chapter's where the main character is male and he will do the female voices. This means that you must get accustomed to 2 voices for each character. This put me off at first but I quickly became accustomed to it and now I really enjoy the format.
4) After a few books the narrators change the way they pronounce certain character names and this can throw you off until you realize that it is just a pronunciation change and not a different character. Just be prepared for it.
I am glad I started this long journey and I feel that audio is one of the best ways to experience Jordan's work. I had read The Eye of the World years ago but it didn't inspire me to keep going forward in the series, where the audiobook left me wanting more!
Awesome! One of the best series of books i've read/listened to and i've read quite a lot of fantasy & scifi. It is a must read for anyone even mildly interested in fantasy adventure.
Pleasssse...don't listen to the abridged volumes you will regret it. Also please request to audible that they get the rest of the series in Unabridged versions. I'm on my second reading and it's as good as the first.

"Great Book!"
I really enjoyed this book. At first the narrarator was a little annoying, you could hear him breathing alot. But after an hour or two, he got much better...you could even tell the characters by the voices he gave them. I will listen to the entire series. I don't know why I waited so long to read Robert Jordan!
"A big fan approves"
I've been reading this series for years now and enjoyed it greatly, though I do hope it comes to an end soon. This production is very good especially as it is an Unabridged version which I believe the books need. The two voices are good and give a good range to the characters, the only quibble I have is minor, I wish the two readers had agreed on pronunciations before starting. This is not a big issue and did not spoil my enjoyment. I believe the producers will be making all the books available and I look found to collecting them all.
"Fantasy Writing And Listening At Its Finest!"
Robert, Robert, Robert.
What have you done to me?
You 've kept me up countless nights, hanging onto every fantastic word, thinking about this incredible world you've created long after I finished reading and listening. You made me want more. And more. And you gave more of the same, and better.
What descriptive and well-thought out writing! What a rich and resplendent world you've created for us. A staggering storyline rich in history, politics, magic and mystery. Character development that captures us completely in the story, plots and journeys throughout this and the many novels to follow!
There are not enough words to describe the fantastic journey that awaits you in Jordan's Wheel of Time novels. They are long, descriptive novels that require more attentive listening that reward you for taking the time to really LISTEN.
If you like a deep rousing story that involves rich fantasy, political intrigue, dark forces with malevolent intent, secret societies, and MUCH MUCH MORE, than you might as well just crack open that wallet, and pull out your Audible credits.
You're going on an audiobook journey you'll never forget.
A outstanding writer with a wonderful story to tell. I only wish he had lived to finish his final book.
If you enjoy epic tales, then I highly recommend this whole series. He brings together, truly, a whole world. By the middle of the series it might as well be a soap opera because there are so many story lines and each character has their own motives.
You can't wait to find out more with each line. Again, I highly recommend this whole series.
Happy adventures
5 well deserved stars from me for this book - part one of the Wheel of Time series.
After listening to the preview a few times I very nearly didn't bother to buy this book. I thought the narrators voice would grate on my nerves and stop me from enjoying the book.
I was attracted by the length of the story, thinking that over 29 hours of 'read' time would keep me occupied for quite some time. Also the number of books available in the series on Audible means I'll not be short of a book to read for quite some time!
I was quickly absorbed by the story and forgot the narrators American accent, although it was a bit of a 'jolt' when a female narrator cut in part way through the book! (Although she only reads a few chapters here and there before the male narrator returns)
The 29 hours passed too quickly and I'm eager to 'read' the second book in the series.
The Eye Of The World reminds me of the Lord of the Rings in lots of ways, strange names, battles, good against evil, a quest, all well told, well described and very enjoyable.
A very good read which I'll probably return to in the fullness of time.
"A Sizable Literary Feast"
Years I ago I read this book as a very young 13 year old. It was daunting then (the sheer size of it, and the sequels) and I gave up half-way through. It's still daunting now, but in a way that I relish - it's massive. This book alone is 29 hours long, and there's currently 13 sequels out with another one on it's way. If you're looking for a series to sink your adventuring teeth into then look no further.
I was initially weary of the American narrator, and I doubted I could listen to his accent for 29 hours, let alone the sequels. However my fears disappeared within the first chapter - he does an excellent job, and I honestly forget about the accent altogether.
I shan't dwell on the book itself, since its continued success and legacy stands testament to its quality. You'll find a plethora of reviews of the Amazon site proper, but my advice is to just dive into this book - it's superb.
"Excellent series ... until book 8"
I have been listening through this series for a few months now and really enjoying it. I would have given 5 starts to it apart from some of the slightly repetitive statements. Then I got to book 8 and it is not available (the other 10 are), having contacted Audible they informed me that they have not yet got the license for it. I have to say that has put the dampers on my listening pleasure.
If you are thinking about starting this epic listening experience I would wait until it is available.
"It's a slog and it's due to the narrator"
I'm loving the storyline behind this book. I write this review being 3 hours into the audiobook. However I am looking forward to having a break from Michael Kramer's droning voice. I really don't think I can stick it for 24 hours. I'd recommend this book but not in audio format sadly. Perhaps it will improve once Kate Reading starts.
"Narrator grew on me"
At first I was also afraid that the narrators voice and accent was going to make listening to this book a struggle, but am pleased to say that this is not the case. After a while the it all seems perfectly natural.
The two narrators work well together with Michael reading the chapters revolving around the male characters and Kate reading those for for the female.
These are unabridged versions of the book, so any Jordan fan will know what to expect in terms of content.
I have now listened to the first three books and am waiting for my credits to arrive so I may download the next instalment.
Listening to The Eye of the World made me feel like I was experiencing it for the first time all over again. Robert Jordan is truly an exceptional voice in fantasy.
"Acceptable not classic delivery"
While Jordan was American I am disappointed they used people with such heavy accents. It is okay but I would say when compared to Fry reading Harry Potter you will be hugely disappointed.
Epic fantasy at its best. Delighted there are so many books in the series as this will solve the commuting boredom problem for many weeks yet!
Very much like Brandon Sanderson (or rather, Brandon Sanderson is very like Robert Jordan). Reminds me of Sanderson's Stormlight book - a very similar feel.
The narration is good - perhaps not the best I have ever heard, but it doesn't detract from the story at all.
Occasionally I would like the female characters to be slightly different from each other - they all seem to be cut from the same cloth, and therefore are a little predictable and perhaps a little boring, but the storyline itself is compelling, and you can't help but download the next book in the series immediately the current one finishes (I am about to download number 5 - still happily enjoying it all).
"the eye of the world..."
I read this book years ago and only remember that i had skipped long pages of description about towns, cultures and history but that i had loved the story all the way to boon 7. I didn't think i would have the courage to re-read this one but i am really glad that i found it on audible. The strory is gripping and very complete. C'an't wait to lisen to the rest of this épic adventure
"great great great!!!!!!!!!!!!"
this is one of the best books ever written and Robert Jordan can tell a story. Both the narrators are great and have different voices for each character. I cant wait to start the next book in the wheel of time series. Robert Jordan will live on through his books. I am going to listen to all the wheel of time series. And i'm glad that Robert Jordan's widow found someone to finish the series. 5 stars from me.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | September 2014 (Revised January 2015) The United Kingdom and the Means to Prosperity Laura Alfaro, Lakshmi Iyer and Hilary White After struggling through the country's longest recession since 2008, the U.K. was expected to grow faster than any other G7 nation in 2014. Analysts wondered whether the return to growth was because, or in spite of, Prime Minister David Cameron's controversial £113 billion austerity plan introduced in 2010. Despite the positive upturn in the economy, U.K. policymakers still faced challenges with rapidly rising income inequality, an economy dominated by the financial sector, a possible housing bubble, and an approaching referendum on Scotland's independence. Moreover, many claimed the U.K. was at risk of secular stagnation, a slowdown in economic growth caused by a structural deficiency in demand.

The new Senior Vice President of Marketing for The Fashion Channel (TFC), a cable television network dedicated to round-the-clock, fashion-oriented programming, is preparing to recommend a change in the company's traditional marketing approach by introducing a market segmentation program. This program is, in part, a response to the intensifying competitive environment for TFC, and it needs to strengthen the company's brand and positioning with viewers and advertisers. At the same time, the program must maintain consumer and distributor satisfaction with the network. Several segmentation options are being considered, each with pros and cons. Consumer research provides insights but does not give a simple answer regarding the best path to take. The reader must evaluate the research results, calculate financial scenarios, and make a recommendation. Also looks at change management issues. TFC has never done a program like this before, and the Senior Vice President of Marketing is new to the job. In addition to making a recommendation, she must manage the change process to insure that the organization and her leadership team peers are fully aligned.
learning objective:
To illustrate the development of market segmentation options, using a combination of market and consumer data, financial analysis, stakeholder inputs, and other analytic resources; demonstrate how quantitative analysis can be used to support a strategic marketing decision by asking students to review multiple data inputs and to calculate the bottom line impact of proposed options; and highlight the issues involved in managing a business that is experiencing a changing competitive environment.

Letters to the Editor - January 24, 2013

Is hoarding wealth civilised?
To the Editor:
Very polite society
To the Editor:
As previously stated, I do personally support what appears to be the original intent of the 2nd Amendment to include the right to bear appropriate arms to protect one's home, hunt and target shoot. I am no Constitutional scholar, but logic and reason tell me that only a severely strained interpretation of the 2nd Amendment could afford ordinary citizens the unrestricted right to bear the types of weapons and magazines used by gunmen at Newtown and other mass murders. Entrance into the U.S. military or a local, state or federal police agency should be the only option for those desiring to bear the said expeditiously destructive arms and ammo clips!
Mr. Seiler may find it quite curious that the current Japanese Constitution, drafted in 1947 with the assistance of General Douglas MacArthur's staff, makes zero provisions for ordinary citizens to bear arms, yet, regardless, Japanese society manages to remain extremely "polite."
Save the polar bears
To the Editor:
Patricia Newhall
The facts, please!
To the Editor:
Finally, he manages to bring together in a single sentence a statistic that there are 1,200 hate and militia groups in the country. That could lend one to believe that these two distinctly separate groups are one and the same. Surely he does not believe that all hate groups are militias or all militias are hate groups. How do know that only 20 hate groups exist and the rest are militia not dedicated to hate.
