Secret is an iOS and Android app that allows users to share messages anonymously within their circle of friends, friends of friends, and publicly. It was founded by David Byttow, the former technical lead for Square Wallet, and Chrys Bader-Wechseler, a former Google product manager at Google.
Released in January 2014, the app added privacy controls in February, including subscribe and unsubscribe options, post flagging and unlinking. In May 2014, Secret launched on Android and became available internationally.
Technology commentators have linked Secret with a growing trend in anonymous and quasi-anonymous sharing, a pushback against Facebook's attempt to encourage the use of real names through the Internet.

"I want to let you know how much I enjoyed The Real Deal (Wow!) and I really liked your story in "Merry Christmas, Baby." I hope there are more stories like these in the future. Thanks." ~ Veda
Sexless mannequin.
The words reverberated through Bella Jackson's head as she stepped out onto the catwalk.
"A man could get frostbite touching you. You're all smoke and no fire, babe. If the world knew what a total fraud you are, you'd never get another modeling job again. Who wants the original ice queen modeling clothes for today's sensual woman?" Curt's vitriol echoed around her, drowning out the announcer's modulated voice, even though the confrontation had taken place miles away and days ago.
She couldn't forget.
Maybe because Curt had taken his story to the press and her face and body were plastered all over the tabloids with headlines that made her cringe.
Bella Jackson, Ice Queen or Sexpot?
Model Freezes Boyfriend Out of Bed
Lexi's Creations Cover Model Fraud
Ex-boyfriend Says This Model's Bed Needs an Electric Blanket to Stay Warm
And the one that had given her mother heart palpitations: Ex-boyfriend Speculates Bella is Gay.
She'd done hundreds of trunk shows in her ten year modeling career, but never had she been so nervous stepping onto a stage.
Had everyone in the audience seen the stories? Were they laughing behind their hands as she modeled clothes that only a woman extremely in touch with her own sexuality would wear?
That woman was not Bella.
She didn't have hang-ups, no matter what that jerk, Curt had said. It was just that she'd been so career minded since her teens the whole man-woman thing had pretty much passed her by. Not to mention the fact that she wasn't interested in getting intimate with a man who couldn't see beyond her body to the woman inside.
She'd had her bad experiences with idiots who thought her bra size was equivalent to her I.Q. and men who wanted a trophy on their arm, not a living, breathing woman in their life, so she'd pretty much stopped dating. Until Curt.
When he'd pressed for sex, she'd been unable to share her secret with him...or her body.
The truth was, she hadn't wanted to.
His kisses and what he'd wanted to do afterward had left her as cold as he'd accused her of being.
She was a twenty-six year old virgin with a reputation for extravagant sex and a supposed list of lovers the length of the Miami yellow pages. It wasn't her fault that the press speculated, or that men who hadn't made it to first base had bragged about their homeruns, but neither had she denied the rumors. Lexi said her reputation was good for the line and Bella had considered it another cost of her career.
Her bad-girl reputation had done its own job keeping her insulated from the type of men she could actually want. The men attracted to the persona she presented to the world were very rarely the type of men she could be honestly attracted to.
Curt had been different, or so she'd thought.
She'd found out too late that the conservative accountant had only wanted the bad girl, not the real Bella. He'd wanted to take a walk on the wild side with her as his tour guide.
The last daywear model was returning up the catwalk when the announcer introduced Lexi's eveningwear and Bella began her signature glide down the Plexiglas stage, her hands damp and her heart beating too fast.
Subdued lighting made it possible for her to make eye contact with the audience, but that was the last thing she wanted. Still, she couldn't help subtly scanning the patrons seated in the ultra classy Dallas hotel, looking for signs that the tabloid stories had done their damage.
But this audience seemed just like all the others, their gazes fixed on her shocking white silk dress.
She was halfway down the catwalk when her gaze snagged on a pair of green eyes. The color of new grass, they were set in a face as hard as granite and as sexy as sin.
The look in those eyes caught her as effectively as if the man's hands had closed over her shoulders and halted her mid-step. She did in fact stop, her body freezing with a blast of sensations totally alien to her. Sensations that belied every one of the nasty headlines.
Her pause lasted only a second, but she felt the first blush she'd had in years crawling hotly up her skin.
The man's thin lips quirked in a knowing smile.
Obviously aware that he was the cause of her hesitation, his expression reflected a mixture of mocking humor and blatant male approval.
She'd spent years learning to ignore the masculine admiration her body elicited. For her, the perfectly proportioned curves were a tool of her trade, nothing more, but this man's look went zinging to the very heart of her.
Frissons of awareness skittered along her nerve endings, leaving goose bumps of sensation in unlikely places.
She stopped at the end of the stage, which happened to be right in front of his table while two other models wearing eveningwear came down the catwalk to flank her.
His eyes flared with pleasure as she stood in a mannequin still pose before him and his dark blonde head tilted slightly, as if he was adjusting his angle to look at her better.
An electric current vibrated across the space between them, inexorably connecting them. Unbelievably, her nipples grew hard and her breasts felt tight while her thighs trembled with the effort it took to maintain her pose.
She'd never reacted during a show this way. Not ever.
Only years of practice and discipline made it possible for her to move through her choreographed routine with the other two models. However, no matter which direction she turned, she felt that amazing connection.
It was scary.
Relief mixed with disappointment when the announcer cued her to return up the catwalk. She walked away from the green-eyed man, supremely aware of the almost non-existent nature of the back of her gown.
It dipped to a V that ended right above her bottom, the white silk semi-transparent. She wore minimal undergarments and if he was looking closely enough, he would see the shadow of her cheeks and the outline of her legs beneath the fabric. Shards of excitement speared her inner thighs at the thought.
For the first time in her modeling career, she felt exposed, as if her body was more than a living mannequin used to show off a designer's creations.
That the dress was in fact showing her off.
She could not help wondering what he thought of an outfit that left so little of her body's secrets to the imagination.
Jake Barton watched the beautiful brunette retreat up the catwalk with the biggest, most painful hard-on he'd had in years...maybe ever.
It was such an unexpected turn-on that he wanted to howl at the moon. "Damn it, Lise, you didn't tell me this was going to be a lingerie show."
"Shh," his sister hissed from her seat beside him, not turning to look at him. "Haut couture tends to be more revealing. The lingerie comes later."
"You're kidding."
"No, I'm not. It's on the program if you'd bothered to look at it."
He looked at it now and sure enough, there was a finale of nightwear by Lexi.
He didn't know how he was going to stand seeing the model who had been introduced as Bella in anything sexier without coming in his pants.
That little lady was a walking work of art. A perfect pocket Venus. She definitely didn't fit the current trend of boy-thin, Amazon tall models that graced most magazine covers.
The other models in the show for Lexi's Creations designed especially for petite women were small in stature too, but none of them had this model's voluptuous curves or the air of sensual promise her pouting lips gave her. Despite those sensual lips, her brown eyes had reflected an unconscious vulnerability that he found every bit as enticing as her sexy body.
For the first time since his sister had talked him into attending a series of trunk shows with her while she researched the professional world of fashion for her latest book, he thought he just might enjoy himself.
The program said the sexy beauty was the official cover model for Lexi Creations, which meant she would no doubt feature in all of the shows. Considering the number of them he'd promised Lise he would attend, he would have ample opportunity to meet Bella. He smiled, the prospect affecting his mood and his libido in a very definite way.
His dick was already making emphatic statements about what it wanted to do when they met and it wasn't to engage in polite conversation.
For the first time in the hour since the after-show schmoozing began, Bella found herself alone. On a normal night, she would disappear about now, going back to her hotel to enjoy some solitude, but she was hoping to see him, the man with the green eyes and the smile that made her insides shake.
A hand materialized in front of her holding a flute of champagne. "Drink?"
Bella turned and looked up, knowing before she did who the deep drawl would belong to.
Towering above her own petite five feet, four inches, he exuded palpable sexual heat and she felt burned simply standing so close. This man would not need a tour guide for an extended trip on the wild side.
She took the glass of champagne. "Thank you."
"My pleasure." He lifted his glass.
She automatically clinked hers against it. "Salud."
"To new friendships." The slow Texas drawl went through her like the vibrations from a bass guitar, making her shiver.
His brow rose.
"It's a little cold." Not. But no way was she going to admit the real reason for her body's betraying quiver.
"It feels pretty hot in here to me." He slipped off his suit jacket and slid it around her shoulders, engulfing her as effectively as if he'd put an overcoat on her. The man was big. "There, now, we'll both feel better."
Her usual flirtatious façade abandoned her and she nodded dumbly.
His scent surrounded her, expensive and masculine, making her ultra aware of the intimacy of wearing his jacket.
"Better?" he asked.
"Yes." What else could she say?
That the way he was looking at her made her much warmer than the extra layer of clothing and she hadn't been cold to begin with?
She took a gulping sip of the bubbly wine.
His lips twitched. "You must be thirsty."
"I am."
"Maybe I should have gotten you a glass of water instead."
"Actually that wouldn't be a bad idea." For more reasons than that she normally stuck to fruit juice, or other equally innocuous beverages at the after show soirees. She had a feeling she needed all her wits about her because this man could turn her brain to mush with a look. "It's hard to stay hydrated during a trunk show."
"You look hydrated to me." His green gaze slid down her body with tactile pleasure and the tone of his voice was enough to make her insides liquefy.
"It's the clothes," she said automatically. "Lexi's Creations always make me look my best."
He pulled one side of his jacket away from her body to reveal the clothes beneath it and took his time looking them over. "I don't remember that outfit from the show," he said finally, releasing his suit coat.
"It's from the daywear line."
The short skirt and button up man-style shirt worn loose with a hip chain belt was a lot less revealing than the eveningwear or lingerie she'd modeled during the show, but it was still signature sexy.
"That explains it."
"You weren't wearing it."
"You mean you weren't watching the other models?"
He shook his head. "There was only one who could hold my interest."
"The clothes are supposed to hold your interest."
"They did. When you were wearing them." He reached out to touch her cheek. "Feels real enough to me."
"What do you mean?" She'd lost the thread of the conversation somewhere along the way.
"You said it was the clothes and I don't agree. No outfit, no matter how appealing, can give a woman such a flawless complexion or petal soft skin."
She couldn't believe the urge she had to turn her face into his big hand, to inhale his scent from his skin, to taste him.
"The right food and exercise," she choked out.
His hand dropped away and he smiled. "Maybe, but I think you were probably born with some of it."
"I guess." She shrugged, trying for an air of nonchalance she did not begin to feel. "Did you see anything you liked in the show?"
It was a stock question she'd asked on numerous occasions after a show, but this time she felt her cheeks heat with embarrassment at the possible double entendre.
He moved closer, hemming her in until the rest of the patrons and models ceased to exist. "Oh, I'd say so."
His eyes left no doubt that he wasn't talking about one of Lexi's creations, the dark blonde hair on his head cut in a conservative, modern style at odds with the primitive and almost wild cast to his features.
She laughed nervously. "There's nothing subtle about you, is there?"
"I don't play games."
"That's nice to know." But she couldn't say the same.
Her whole approach to the male species was based on a game of pretend that had come crashing down around her ears when Curt walked away from her and sold his story as her ex-boyfriend to the tabloids.
And when this man saw the headlines and heard the new rumors about her, the burning look of passion in his eyes would grow as cold as she was purported to be in bed.

Police said Brown pushed the officer back into the police car. According to police, Brown then entered the officer's vehicle and a struggle ensued over the officer's weapon.

"Mom is 95 and lives in Kansas City," Cruise said. "She is starting to become less sure of herself with paperwork and doesn't even understand the cards, so my sister and I decided I should help her out."
In early September, Cruise's mother was approved for the AARP card, one of about 40 available, and the $600 federal tax credit given to low-income seniors. She had a prescription filled and assumed the tax credit would cover it. A few days later, however, she received a full bill.
"She called me and told me … not to worry, because she sent them a check," Cruise said.
Luckily, because of a mislabeled envelope, the check was returned. The episode, however, marked the beginning of a six-week ordeal in which Cruise made dozens of phone calls and filled out stacks of forms in an effort to activate her mother's benefits. At one point, she said, AARP botched the paperwork so badly that it enrolled Cruise, instead of her mother, in the program.
While Cruise remains uncertain of her mother's benefits status, she is seeking authorization to handle prescription paperwork for her.
"I have a part-time job, and I really don't have time to be driving up to Kansas City every few days to make sure Mom doesn't throw away some important forms or mail something in, but that's what I am having to do," Cruise said.
Steve Hollis, social services supervisor at the Columbia/Boone County Health Department, said such hassles are not uncommon. Many seniors, he said, aren't aware of all the discounts available to them, and the programs are convoluted.
"Although a lot of seniors qualify for free credit, they don't even know it," Hollis said. "I'd say that it's a little more complicated than it should be."
Cruise agrees.
"I know that my mother wouldn't even have got to square one with this thing," she said. "Let alone square two or three or 18."
Seniors' mindsets should be considered, Hollis said.
"The feds say that it's easy, that there is a number to call: 1-800-Medicare," he said. "And that is easy, but many seniors cannot fill out forms, they are skeptical of giving anyone money, and there is no guarantee that the program won't change."
Hollis said most seniors are reluctant to ask for help, which means the problem is probably more widespread than the number of complaints and inquiries would indicate.
"A lot of people don't understand the programs in general, and it's hard to coordinate all the programs," Hollis said. "You've got Medicare, Medicaid Spend-Down and Missouri Senior Rx. The three programs don't interface very well. It's more like a jigsaw puzzle rather than a map. … If they have private coverage or a card, they all tend to cancel out. Sometimes you have to use one before the other. The process is hard. I would even have a hard time walking you through it."
Whoever wins the race for the 9th District congressional seat will certainly face the issues of health care and prescription drugs.
Democrat Linda Jacobsen, who is challenging Republican incumbent Kenny Hulshof, agrees discount programs are confusing but said the larger problem is that medicine is too expensive.
"The seniors that are unable to afford drugs are angry, and they feel cheated. I have seen with my own eyes in the Walgreen's by my house in St. Charles County," Jacobsen said, recounting a story about a senior couple who were unable to purchase all their necessary medicine because of the high costs.
Jacobsen says prescription prices are a significant part of the overarching health-care crisis in America.
"Prescription drugs are a key part of health care," she said. "We've come to a crossroads in society and in our country. We can either support the free-market view, which is that business controls it and tough luck if you can't afford it, or look and say when it comes to health care, this is human need and this is human right."
Hulshof is confident the Medicare Modernization and Improvement Act, which will take effect in January 2006, is the answer. The act will "provide full-blown drug benefits" for seniors on Medicare. He emphasized that the discount cards available now are voluntary and part of a transition.
"At first, people were complaining that there aren't going to be many companies interested, but it turned out to be a competitive process, and in Missouri we have 40 separate cards," Hulshof said. "We've heard people say, 'Which do I pick?' A lot of advocacy groups are helping senior citizens."
The tax credits and discount program have been criticized for leaving a "doughnut hole" for seniors who do not qualify for low-income tax credits but still have prescription drug bills up to $5,000. For seniors who have to pay more than $5,000 out-of-pocket, there are additional discounts.
Hulshof said that the 2006 act will cause drug prices to drop about 25 percent and provide comprehensive coverage for the average senior paying $1,400 per year for medicine.
Hollis is also confident the new law will improve the situation.
"Once the full effect of the program kicks in, Senior Rx will change to cover what is called the doughnut hole," he said. "So, it will also get better down the road as far as the understandability."
Instead of the new law, Jacobsen favors importing drugs from Canada as a temporary solution.
"Canada has a production based on its own population, and they won't be able to supply us for very long," Jacobsen said.
Jacobsen proposes reducing drug prices in the long term by requiring other countries to share in research and development costs through a new program of Food and Drug Administration subscriptions.
"Many nations, as soon as FDA approves drugs, it's like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval: They approve it, too," Jacobsen said. "Those countries are saving literally billions of dollars and riding on our research coattails."
Jacobsen advocates universal health care as a cure-all.
"This is the bottom line, and we don't want to face it: In many developed countries like Sweden, the United Kingdom and Japan, they are paying four to five times less per person for universal health care than we are paying in the U.S. even with 45 million Americans uninsured," she said. "We are spending more and getting less. … If we have a universal health-care system, we would be able to calculate with greater accuracy the cost of heath care and prescriptions drugs."

Electrodeposition of composite coatings containing nanoparticles in a metal deposit
Low, C.T.J., Wills, R.G.A. and Walsh, F.C. (2006) Electrodeposition of composite coatings containing nanoparticles in a metal deposit. Surface and Coatings Technology, 371-383. (doi:10.1016/j.surfcoat.2005.11.123).
Full text not available from this repository.
Recent literature on the electrodeposition of metallic coatings containing nanosized particles is surveyed. The nanosized particles, suspended in the electrolyte by agitation and/or use of surfactants, can be codeposited with the metal. The inclusion of nanosized particles can give (i) an increased microhardness and corrosion resistance, (ii) modified growth to form a nanocrystalline metal deposit and (iii) a shift in the reduction potential of a metal ion. Many operating parameters influence the quantity of incorporated particles, including current density, bath agitation (or movement of work piece) and electrolyte composition. High incorporation rates of the dispersed particles have been achieved using (i) a high nanoparticle concentration in the electrolyte solution, (ii) smaller sized nanoparticles; (iii) a low concentration of electroactive species, (iv) ultrasonication during deposition and (v) pulsed current techniques. Compositional gradient coatings are possible having a controlled distribution of particles in the metal deposit and the theoretical models used to describe the phenomenon of particle codeposition within a metal deposit are critically considered.

Our kickstarter earned $36,967 after asking for $20,000 so that was incredible.[…] Now, right off the top you had $10,000 for prize fulfillment.[…] Leaving us with around $6000, which is income, so that was taxed (piece of advice to other kickstarters - spend that money before the end of the year).[…] So were right around $4000 remaining and even that cursory math isn't working as there are other things that weren't big tickets but sapped the coffers. There's odds and ends etc, so that goes rather quickly as you can imagine.[..] So that gets us to the present. We have still taken a lot of debt on ourselves (over $50k), and hopefully this can help give insight to other kickstarters and would-be-developers on what to expect.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Negativitron
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Negativitron // 54 Items
Keys: Playing Arcade Games for Keys
There are 3 Keys to be found in the green-screened arcade games. For the first, play Cosmic Invasion by approaching the machine and hitting the button shown. Control the paddle and bounce the square into the bricks. Once all of them are cleared, a key will drop.
Past the claw machine is another Key game called Science Diner. Simply bounce the square off the paddle to win the Key.
Finally, on the far right you'll come across Parmesan. Catch a few of the falling blocks to drop a third Key.
Item Bubbles: The Claw Machine
Step on the red button to move the claw into position above the 2 Item Bubbles. Step off of the button to let it drop. Your first few tries should automatically fail even if your aim is true. Don't worry though, you'll get the bubbles eventually.
x2 Area
Just past the "arcade" is an x2 area that requires two people (on or offline). To get to the 4 Item Bubbles you'll need to first lift one player to the upper level. Have one player stand on the red button on the right, while the other rides the glowing blue platform up. Now the upper player can stand on the button on the upper level and create a path for the lower player to reach another button. By hitting the leftmost buttons you can access the Item Bubbles.
Hint: Zero G
The gravity significantly diminishes in the second half of the level. Take advantage of this to leap to lofty bubbles. You can also use things like the grippy wheel to fling further than usual. Grab onto the wheel and let go as you travel upwards to fling into the Item Bubbles.
Item Bubble: Long Leap
Run and jump in one, fluid motion over the electric floor to score a high Item Bubble.
Hint: Freedom for Sackbots
Sackbots and other things need your help. Pull levers and step on buttons to free them in the background.
Item Bubbles: Above the Door
Don't miss the digits in the Item Bubbles above the spawn door. You can just jump up to collect them.
Item Bubbles: Low G
Use the Launch Pad and detritus to leap up to the Item Bubbles in this area.
Hint: Rad Gravity
You can flip with a tap of X from floor to ceiling with the blue cylinder you get at the end of the level. Use this to avoid the electrified floors. You can also push purple blocks around. Certain blocks can be fitted into place to free more allies.

Servants of Allah: African Muslims Enslaved in the Americas
by Sylviane A. Diouf http://www.danielpipes.org/868/servants-of-allah-african-muslims-enslaved-in-the-americas
Translations of this item: Slowly, out of the surprisingly full records of slavery, an important fact is coming to light: that Muslims constituted a significant percentage of the Africans brought to the Americas in servitude; and that, as the most educated and resistant of the captive peoples, they exerted a disproportionate influence on slave life in the Americas. Groundbreaking studies by Allan D. Austin and João José Reis showed what riches lie in store for those who study this topic; Sylviane Diouf, a Ph.D. from the University of Paris now resident in New York, has built on these and other studies, then done much research of her own, and the result is a fascinating account of the three main topics: the background within Africa, the "difficult and sometimes astonishing steps" of Muslims to maintain their faith and traditions, and the legacy of this nearly-forgotten episode. It is sobering to realize that next year, 2001, marks five centuries of "almost uninterrupted" Islamic practices by people of African origin in the Western Hemisphere. When the Spanish brought the very first Africans to the New World in 1501, however, they sought to ensure that these were not Muslims but ladinos - that is to say, captives who had spent some time in Spain where they had been forcibly converted to Christianity. As a royal Spanish order of 1543 explained, "in a new land like this one where [the Catholic] faith is only recently being sowed, it is necessary not to allow to spread there the sect of Mahomet or any other." The Spanish had a particular dread of the native Indians converting; among other reasons for this was the fact that if Africans, who knew about horses, converted the Indians and then taught them equine skills, much of the Spaniards' military advantage would have been lost. That the Spanish authorities went on to issue five pieces of legislation to keep Muslims out of the New World in the first fifty years of colonization suggests this effort was less than completely successful . That the Northern Europeans, less concerned with Islam, did not even attempt to maintain this ban meant that Islam was the second monotheism (after Catholicism, before Protestantism) in the Americas. The heart of Servants of Allah consists of a detailed reconstruction of Muslim slave efforts in the United States to maintain, as much as possible, an Islamic way of life: their reluctance to convert to Christianity, or their pseudo-conversions; praying, giving alms, and fasting; keeping Muslim names, dietary restrictions, and sexual taboos; wearing beards, turbans, and even veils; and keeping apart from non-Muslims. In all, the author finds, the experience of slavery, "far from making the Africans' religious fervor disappear, . . . deepened it." Diouf finds that Muslim slaves included a disproportionate number of the intellectual elite in West Africa, men far better prepared than the average farmer to sustain their faith. Being Muslim helped them to do well in the horrifyingly difficult circumstances of American chattel slavery: "There is ample evidence that the Muslims actively used their cultural and social background and the formation they had received in Africa as tools to improve their condition in the Americas." The signs of this success were easy to see, even if slightly contradictory. On the one hand, Muslims rose to the top of the slave hierarchy (in at least one case, the slave kept his master's plantation records in Arabic), were manumitted more often, and returned to Africa more frequently. On the other hand, Muslims had a disproportionately large role in establishing maroon communities and leading slave rebellions, sometimes (most especially the great Bahia rebellion of 1835 in Brazil) dominating their planning and leadership. "Islam was an excellent organizing force," Diouf notes. In addition to the communal solidarity it imbued in Muslims, knowledge of Arabic at times served as a common and secret language for those planning revolts . Some of this prominence resulted from their sense of community and solidarity, which extended across linguistic boundaries to fellow Muslims in bondage and also back to Africa; some from their resistance to being dominated more than necessary by their Christian overlords; and much of it resulted from their education. On this final point, Diouf argues that "literacy became one of the most distinguishing marks of the Muslims." She even claims, somewhat implausibly, that the literacy rate among Muslim slaves was "in all probability" higher than among their masters. Islamic networks brought Arabic books produced in Africa to Brazil. Qur'anic instruction reached as distant an outpost as Lima, Peru. The legacy of the Muslim slaves is somewhat controversial. It is fashionable among African-American Muslims in the United States today to call themselves not converts but reverts, alluding both to the fact that Islam claims to be the natural and original religion of each person at birth, and so turning to it later in life is a return; and to the fact that some African slaves were Muslims, so they see themselves reverting to that original faith, not converting to a new one. In this view, Christianity was enforced upon the slaves in America, not a faith they ever truly accepted. According to Eric Lincoln, a scholar of the subject, "The memory of Islam, however, tenuous, was never completely lost." Some analysts explicitly attribute Islam's success among blacks in the twentieth-century to their "can be explained only in terms of the Islamic roots of many black Americans." Others go further and contend that "the religion of Islam is part of the genetic memory of African-Americans." Diouf sharply rejects this romantic notion; instead, she flat-out declares that "Islam as brought by the African slaves has not survived." To be more precise: "in the Americas and the Caribbean, not one community currently practices Islam as passed on by preceding African generations." This discontinuity followed primarily from the Muslim slaves' inability to pass their religion on to their children, thanks to the gender disparities among slaves (far fewer women imported), disrupted family lives, the absence of proper schools, and the pressure to convert to Christianity. So remote had Islam become that some grandchildren of enslaved Muslims did not even know their grandparents had been Muslims but remembered them as worshippers of the sun and moon (a wildly ignorant interpretation of their praying at dawn and dusk). As a result, the last Muslims of slave background died in the 1920s, though the last semi-Muslim (a person who outwardly accepted Christianity) was alive in Brazil as late as 1959. If slave Islam as a faith died out completely, it nonetheless left many vestiges behind, some of them quite unexpected. Diouf catalogues Islamic influence "found in certain religions, traditions, and artistic creations" among peoples of African descent in the Americas. Most notably, it can be seen in the syncretic black religions of the Americas such as Candomble in Brazil, Santeria in Cuba, Voodoo in Haiti, and other cults. In Voodoo temples, for example, when a deity appears, the priest greets it with Salam, Salam, then goes on his knees and raises his arms, much as Muslims do when praying. Even some Christian rites, for example among the "Shouters," Trinidadian Baptists, have practices reminiscent of Islam (they move about in a circle, perhaps an echo of the circumambulation of the Ka'ba in Mecca). African-style amulets are widespread.
Islamic traces can be found in several kinds of music, such as the Arabic words found in songs off the Georgian and Peruvian coasts, in Cuba and Trinidad. More unexpected is the thesis, seemingly sound, that the "high lonesome complaint" so characteristic of blues music derives ultimately from recitations of the Qur'an by unhappy (but educated) slaves. One musicologist, John Storm Roberts, finds that the "long, blending and swooping notes" of the blues are "similar to the Islam-influenced styles of much of West Africa." In some cases, whole songs (such as "Tangle Eyes") seem to have a Muslim African provenance. Diouf speculates that the family name "Bailey" may in many cases derive from "Bilali," a common name for dark-skinned Muslims. She suggests that some leading African-Americans of the post-Emancipation era (Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman) had Muslim ancestors. She traces the common habit of black American males of wearing handkerchiefs, rags, and bandannas around their heads to their Muslim slave ancestors' always wearing a turban or skullcap. Diouf goes a bit far in her lyrical praise of Islam under slave conditions, at times idealizing it in inappropriate and even anachronistic ways; thus, she calls Islam "democratic and progressive in a society that was despotic, repressive, tyrannical, and racist." This may be connected to the paucity of sources and therefore her having to rely heavily on just four written slave narratives, all of them presumably recounting the highly unusual experiences of their authors. Despite this mild distortion, Diouf's account of Muslim life in the most horrific of circumstances is a truly moving one and at times an inspiring one: "The African Muslims may have been, in the Americas, the slaves of Christian masters, but their minds were free. They were the servants of Allah."

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli dailies posted varying poll results Friday for the upcoming Jan.22 general elections, with the Right maintaining its lead and as many as 25 percent of voters still undecided.
A Maagar Mochot poll published by Maariv gives 38 mandates to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's Likud-Beiteinu ticket, the highest prediction of any poll.
The results show the left-wing Labor Party winning 16 seats and former Kadima Party chairwoman Tzipi Livni's newly formed Hatnua Party garnering seven. Kadima topples from 28 seats in the current government to three.
Totals show the right-wing bloc winning 71 seats compared to 49 for the left-wing and Arab parties.
YNet headlined with a Dahaf Institute poll showing Likud-Beiteinu down to 33 mandates, and the Labor Party at 18.
Dahaf predicts Hatnua Party will capture 11 seats, down three from its earlier surveys, but one up from the survey published by Maariv.
And it shows political newcomer Naftali Bennett's Jewish Home Party (Habayit Hayehudi) winning 14 seats, and the ultra-Orthodox Shas Party and United Torah Judaism each down one.
A Smith Research poll published by The Jerusalem Post Friday shows Likud-Beiteinu at 34 seats and Habayit Hayehudi winning 14 mandates, which would make it the third largest party.
The Post quoted Likud coalition chairman MK Zeev Elkin saying the national camp will join forces to prevent the left from regaining control.
"Right-wing voters are returning because they are starting to understand that in this election it is important to strengthen the Likud in the face of attempts by the Left to return to power and push Israel to divide Jerusalem and return to pre-1967 borders."
Netanyahu has called those borders "indefensible" and therefore unacceptable in any future deal with the Palestinian Authority. The prime minister also said Jerusalem will remain the undivided capital of the Jewish state and promises Israel will not cede the Golan Heights, captured from Syria in the Six Day War and annexed in 1981.
The Smith Research survey shows Livni's party down to eight seats and Labor winning 18. Analysts say Livni's failed attempt to unite the left-wing parties precipitated the drop.
Earlier polls showed a potential left-wing coalition closing the gap.

We did have a hard time navigating through some of the features where we had to find keys and make dinner for the guards. For some reason, following Merida through the maze or town was a bit complicated, and it has a slight learning curve. But once we figured it out, it was smooth sailing from there.
This game cartridge is compatible with the LeapPad Ultra, LeapPad1, LeapPad2, Leapster Explorer, and LeapsterGS Explorer.

Please read the note from our friends in legal before using this file.
The zip file contains the Java source, supporting files, and documentation for the Password Expiration Notification solution currently used by Novell IS&T.
This Java console application checks users in an LDAP directory and sends notification email messages when their password is about to expire. The application is scheduled to run nightly. Only those users whose passwords will be expiring in a specified number of days will be notified.
A configuration XML document defines the LDAP connection information, day intervals for notification and the email message templates for each interval. For example, users who will be expiring in 30 days may receive a different email message than those expiring tomorrow. The email messages are designed to be readable in both HTML and text-only views.
Expiration Notification has the following dependencies:
config.xml | configuration document |
OS task scheduler | the application must be scheduled to run every 24 hours |
service account | LDAP user with read access to password related attributes |
Classpath | Include mail.jar, activation.jar and jsse.jar in the Java classpath |
No passwords are hard-coded in this application. The LDAP connection password is retrieved from the configuration document. It is assumed that the configuration document is protected from unauthorized access by the file system. A service account with read access to password related attributes is required.
5-18-05 Update
There was a bug in the code and an error in the sample config.xml :(
Sorry about that. This update should take care of many of the reported problems.
I also added the ability to run the application in console mode (no GUI) for those who are having trouble with X-Windows on Linux. I updated the instruction document to reflect these changes.
5-19-05 Update
I added a shell script to help Linux users run the app correctly.

The SUNY Cooperative Online International Learning (COIL) initiative is designed to support the development of classes in which students in domestic classes interact in a meaningful manner with students from a partner class in a foreign country. Student interaction may be synchronous or asynchronous and relies on a variety of web 2.0 tools (including wikis, blogs, Nings, course management systems, Skype, Google talk, Google Docs, VoiceThread, YouTube, Vimeo, Imgur, and Picasa). Three faculty members at Oswego are currently developing COIL classes. We are hoping to have several additional COIL classes offered during the 2012-2013 academic year.
This workshop is for those developing COIL courses and for those considering the development of such courses. Status reports will be provided for courses under development. A discussion of issues and problems encountered during the development of these courses will take place.

Missouri Student Accused in Theft From Cruiser
Early Saturday morning, a Columbia police officer arrested a 21- year-old University of Missouri student found walking along Range Line Street with a police dashboard computer.
Around 4:30 a.m., the officer observed Drew C. Decker of 907 Huntridge Drive walking northbound near Vandiver Drive holding an object that resembled a Columbia police mobile data terminal, said Officer Latisha Stroer. The officer stopped to investigate further and determined it was police property.
A sergeant at police headquarters searched patrol vehicles in the department's parking garage and found a patrol vehicle missing a mobile data terminal, Stroer said. No damage to the patrol vehicle is included in police notes, she said, which means the patrol vehicle likely was left unlocked.
Decker was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property. He has been released from the Boone County Jail after posting a $4,500 bond.

MAC All for the Glamour Face Kit Gorgeous Bronze Review & Swatches
MAC All for the Glamour Face Kit in Gorgeous Bronze is a limited edition face, eye, and lip palette MAC has launched for Holiday 2012.
I've mentioned it in a few of my reviews already but I'm very pleased with the packaging on Holiday 2012. These are a hard plastic shell with a firm plush pin cushion design on top. The compacts kinda have a vintage feel (the plastic might take away from that some though) and are very girlish and pretty.
Take a look!
This palette is the only face, lip, and cheek palette MAC introduced for Holiday 2012. There are tons of lip and face palettes as well as eyeshadow ones but nothing that addresses your entire face. They included bronzer (although I wish it was blush) as well as eyeshadow and lipstick in this palette.
No worries about cream and powder products in one spot as MAC kindly includes a small plastic cover for the lip products which will keep them from getting any kickback from the powders. You'll also get a dual ended brush for application which includes an eyeshadow brush on one side and a lip brush on the other.
I'm not in love with any of the shades in this palette but the quality is here overall. For this palette they went with a plummy smoky pink eye look and vampy lips with a warmer bronzer. I don't feel the colors are terribly Holiday overall and they just didn't excite me however, there isn't any denying they are classic colors for a nice office friendly look. Just not something I'd choose for myself…!
You get:
- Golden Bronzing Powder (golden tan beige shade with subtle shimmer)
- Romance Me (dark plum)
- Hearts-a-Flutter (sheer pink satin)
- Shadowy Lady (blackened plum matte)
- Barely Lit Lipstick (beige dusky pink)
- Headerturner (vampy cool plum)
Shadowy Lady, Romance Me, Hearts-A-Flutter, Golden Bronze Powder
Headturner Lipstick and Barely Lit Lipstick
The eyeshadows all had a fairly decent formula however, Hearts-a-Flutter had a weaker pigmentation with a dense formula that was difficult to swatch or see in pictures. The lipsticks are all a dense formula (one reason I dislike lipstick palettes) with a drier formula and opaque coverage. The bronzer is soft and silky with a sheerer finish that builds easily.
I wasn't completely wowed by the palette but I think MAC was very consistent with the formula and quality which is a good thing considering some collections have left me less than pleased lately.
If you like plummy shades with a more natural cheek the All for Glamour Face Kit might be for you. It also gives you the option to go a bit nude with your lips for a day look and a bit vampy for a night look.
This launches on counter today and is also available online at maccosmetics.com
Do you like it?
I'd have preferred a blush myself versus a bronzer and maybe some warmer shades rather than the smoky ones! Too bad they only did one of these Face Kits!
This review contains a sample
product sent for consideration by PR.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
10/25/12 12:39 Missy:
I agree – if only it were a blush and not a bronzer… But the lipstick choices seem odd with the eyeshadows. That's not a combination I'd think of putting together really. Maybe I should try it sometime? LOL I do think it's great that they put in a little cover for the lipsticks. That's brilliant!
10/25/12 12:41 the Muse:
maybe the plummy vampy lip with these eyeshadows yes but not the dusky beige pink…! perhaps for a day look through? I wasn't overall pleased with the shades here….it's a nice palette, fairly good quality, just the shades are mismatched and not something i'd pick for myself. bronzer…MEH!
10/25/12 13:04 Abbey:
I have Shadowy Lady and I find it so difficult to work with in its original iteration I would never buy it in a palette. Like you said, too bad it's not sparkly holiday goodness with a lovely blush!
10/25/12 13:06 the Muse:
it's matte and evil abbey! lol! I didn't have too many issues with it, used a little in my crease today with the pink as an accent but I hate mattes :-/
10/25/12 13:27 OrangeLipstickBlog:
I feel like this is a strange combination of colors. Not a look I'd assemble for myself but there's something for everyone, yes?
10/25/12 14:05 the Muse:
agreed! not for me either tbh! but there is def someone out there that will adore it I'm sure!
10/25/12 13:44 KhaliaNicole:
I'm thinking this might be a case of skin tone because I'm loving the palette colors and my first thought when I saw it was, "Oooh, this would be a great palette to use for nice plum Xmas look!" I'm a darker skinned gal (NC45-NC50) so that might make a diff! For me the bronzer would probably serve more as a highlighter so I'd have to add a blush but I'm digging the rest of the palette for sure!
10/25/12 14:04 the Muse:
khalia I think it'll look nice on a darker skin tone but the bronzer might be disappointing, little sheer for such a deep skin tone…but as a highlighter maybe ;-D anything else you're hauling from holiday?
10/25/12 16:03 Lauren:
I agree. This would have been great if it had been a blush, more neutral eyeshadows, and those same lipsticks. I actually have been looking for a palette that has a blush and a few eyeshadow shades, maybe a cream eyeliner, and a finishing powder for an all-in-one travel type thing. I think it's weird to put a bronzer in there with no blush. I do like how the lipsticks have a cover. I typically HATE palettes with glosses because the powders contaminate them.
10/26/12 6:42 Lily:
The packaging is so cute but I find myself wishing they fit regular mac shadows because I would have loved to use and refill the eyeshadows to continue using the palette! Props for the lip compartment lid though I hate mixing lip and powder products in one one palette! Thanks for the review Muse!
10/26/12 9:20 the Muse:
my pleasure lily! I wish they were snap in and out too, would be fun to use and reuse them!
10/26/12 17:22 Majick:
Personally I wouldn't get this but, I think the shadows are VERY neutral.
I would pair the redder lippie with a more subdued eye – think the first two shades with simple black liner on top lashes, maybe a little of the shimmer shadow under the eye too.
Add the deeper purple shade for drama and use the peachy lip tone.
Bronzer is great with brighter lippies because if you put too much color on lips and cheeks you could end up lookign a little "raggety anne".
just my 2 cents …

Auslese (literal meaning: "selected harvest"; plural form is Auslesen) is a German language wine term for a late harvest wine and is a riper category than Spätlese in the Prädikatswein category of the Austrian and German wine classification.[1] The grapes are picked from selected very ripe bunches in the autumn (late November-early December), and have to be hand picked. Generally Auslese wine can be made in only the best harvest years that have been sufficiently warm. A small proportion of the grapes may be affected by noble rot in some regions although this never dominates the character of the wine. Rheingau winemaker Schloss Johannisberg is generally credited with discovering Auslese wine in 1787.[2]
Auslesen are sometimes considered a German dessert wine, especially the wines made from botrytis infected bunches, though it is not as sweet as Eiswein, Beerenauslese (BA), or Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA) dessert wines.
Auslesen can be enjoyed by themselves (aperitif - an "afternoon wine") but are usually best accompanied with food, particularly those that exhibit the hearty characteristics of German cuisine.
The term in Alsace most closely corresponding to Auslese in terms of must weight requirements is Vendange tardive, even though this French term is linguistically equivalent to the German term Spätlese.
The minimum must weight requirements for Auslese is as follows:
- In German wine, 83 to 100 degrees Oechsle, depending on the region (wine growing zone) and grape variety.[3]
- In Austrian wine, 21 degrees KMW,[4] corresponding to 105 °Oechsle.[5]
Chaptalisation may not be used. The requirements are part of the wine law in both countries. Many producers, especially top-level producers, exceed the minimum requirements by a wide margin, resulting in richer and sweeter Auslesen that may even exceed the minimum requirements for Beerenauslese, the next Prädikat in order. In Germany, it is common to add stars (usually * to ***) on the wine label, Fuder (vat) numbers or a golden capsule, to indicate this.
Dry Auslese[edit]
The wines are occasionally made dry (trocken) in some areas, such as Palatinate (Pfalz) but are more typically sweeter, as the very high alcohol levels (around 13-14%) in dry examples can make them unbalanced particularly when young. The typical must weight for an Auslese is 90° Oechsle. These wines, particularly when made from the riesling grape can age for very long periods of time, often ten years or more.
With the recent introduction of the new classifications of top dry German wines, Erstes Gewächs and Grosses Gewächs, the Verband Deutscher Prädikats- und Qualitätsweingüter (VDP) has discouraged the continued use of Auslese trocken, as it has been seen as confusing for the consumer to have sweet and powerful dry wines with the same Prädikat.[6] However a significant number of VDP members are still using the Prädikat classification on dry Wines, since the Prädikat only is dedicated to the quality level of the picked grapes and not the taste.
Red Wine Auslese[edit]
As German Wine makers try to carve out a niche in developing red wine, the Auslese ripeness classification has come into play as the ideal level to produce Spätburgunder (Pinot noir), particularly in the Rheingau, Pfalz, and Baden regions. Winemakers are experimenting with grapes at Auslese level ripeness with Burgundian style production methods involving oak and a higher extraction of tannin levels.
These wines are also increasingly labelled Erstes Gewächs and Grosses Gewächs rather than Auslese.

I'm looking for circus themed or related manga, novel, and/or anime. A bit dark would be preferred (I greatly enjoyed the circus ark in the Kuroshitsuji manga)
Something not like Kaleido Star and I've already searched a bit through past forums and found Nights at the Circus (novel) and Karakuri Circus, both of which I plan to read. Thanks in advance for any help |

Hmm, that's strange....
Despite the good cards and combos in this deck, I cannot sense any soul in it... It feels like the cards somehow wouldn't really be able to work in harmony... But, to make it a fair judgement, I already give this deck 4 points... just to point something, I dont think Final Dragarmor is a good choice of a CG this deck would need in its duels... |

First of all, I must apologize on behalf of my brother yesterday. He dueled for me, and afterwards I saw the convo. He was pretty rude. Second of all, there are too much cards in this deck. It won't work very well with 55. Might as well keep it close to 40.

Also, I understand that there was a debate over Crest of Mother's use with Evolution Creatures? Hate to break it to you, but my brother was correct.
"Choose a Civilization. You may move one of your creatures with the chosen civilization from your Battle Zone into your Mana Zone. If you do, choose a creature in your Mana Zone that shares a civilization with the chosen creature with cost less than or equal to the number of cards in your Mana Zone and put it into the Battle Zone." It does not say "non-evolution creature". The rules and regulations on the Japanese site say that if an Evolution Creature is summoned this way, the base Creature MUST be in the Battle Zone at the time of summoning, and the Evo creature is placed on that creature. Hope that clears things up. A lot of people here don't really know the rules. I ran into a guy who said multi-colored cards can never be untapped.. |

generic, but still very strong
it has all the necessitates for a dragon type deck except a sort of "fish out " type card like balga geyser or the other balga geyser (armed dragon/samurai) i also strongly suggest u use a hybrid with a dragon deck like light, darkness or especially mana raising nature! |

Yea, i did think of that before.. But, for this one, i wanted a purely fire based deck.. No mixtures.. But, your right about the fish out creature.. I did include spear for that purpose alone.. But, it's not enough sometimes.. But hey, thanks for the comment.. ^_^ |

Hi! You have made a good deck but I think you should keep 4 nex cause it is important. i also wanted to ask if I could summon legend wing (cross gear) by nex's ability? Feel free to quote on this comment everyone!

Yea well, i also was thinking of increasing that number to 4! Think i'll do it.. N yes, u can summon him to d battle field with nex's ability.. It's written that u can summon a card, it's not mentioned whether it should b a creature or not.. SO, i think yes! |

Not a bad deck but usually I don't like fire civilization it has becomed too unbalanced compared to the others

Unrelated to my vote, but I am getting sick and tired of newbies using this deck all of the time.
