Publishers are making the investment in native ads and sponsored content because the engagement metrics show a favorable reader experience. While the signs point to native ads being here to stay, publishers still have a lot of room to improve and optimize the native ad experience before it has long-lasting appeal. One opportunity that publishers can take to enhance their native ad program is by delivering a custom site search experience that helps advertisers reach their target audience while also showing fast and relevant results to readers. Here are three ways to successfully incorporate native ads into your reader's search experience.

Ingeniux Corporation, a provider of Web content management and publishing systems, has announced the implementation of Ingeniux CMS for the new J2EE 1.3 based LIFELines Services Network (LSN), a distributed Web-based platform currently being used for www.lifelines2000.org and soon to be used for www.lifelines.navy.mil and www.lifelines.usmc.mil. LSN is the official source of Quality of Life (QOL) information and services for the Department of the Navy, serving reserve and active duty Marines, sailors, veterans, and family members around the world. The LSN Platform is a platform for deployment of Web-based content and consists of an Oracle 9iAS Portal and Ingeniux CMS. The content management solution created by the LIFELines group combines an Ingeniux CMS front end, an Oracle 9iR2 database content repository and middle-tier 9iAS (Application Server), a taxonomy system accessed directly through Ingeniux CMS, and an imbedded Ingeniux client within the Oracle 9iAS portal. Content is cross-indexed for publication to multiple areas of the LSN platform. As a result, LIFELines expects to increase the frequency, quality, and quantity of information published to the site.

On the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, it's worthwhile for us Dickensians to recall and appreciate his immense influence on the novelist we love. As Paul Schlicke tells us, "For Dickens Shakespeare was 'the great master who knew everything,' whose plays were 'an unspeakable source of delight.' It has been well said that 'No one is better qualified to recognise literary genius than a literary genius,' and no other author has had so profound an effect on Dickens."

When Sarah Rees Brennan writes on the dedication page of her new Young Adult novel, Tell the Wind and Fire, "This work is most respectfully dedicated to C.D.," she's not kidding. Her book is a beautiful and moving tribute to A Tale of Two Cities, as well as a stunning work of fiction in its own right. Like all the best tributes, it lovingly honors the work that it's based on while adding fresh and striking ideas of its own.

As you may recall from the excerpt we ran a couple of months ago, Tell the Wind and Fire is set in a future society divided into Light and Dark. Lucie, the daughter of a Dark father and Light mother, has spent her life torn between the two. (Lucie is one of the few main characters whose name isn't changed from the original, probably because the name "Lucie" means light.) When her father was arrested and tortured, Lucie, with the help of her Aunt Leila, devised a desperate plan to save him.

Now she and her father live in the Light city, and Lucie is the girlfriend of Ethan, a member of one of its most prominent families. She's adored and idolized, known in the press as "The Golden Thread in the Dark." But she's still haunted by bad memories, and guilt-stricken over what she had to do to get herself and her father out.

On a train trip, Lucie and Ethan encounter Carwyn, a doppelganger of Ethan whom Lucie never knew about before. No one except Ethan's family knew, as the creation of doppelgangers is illegal and their existence considered a danger. But Carwyn was created to save Ethan's life during a childhood illness, and at this meeting, he saves it again. While Lucie instinctively dislikes Carwyn for his careless and insolent manner, not to mention the threat that he poses to Ethan and his family, she realizes the debt they owe him, and takes responsibility for his care when they reach the Light city. But unrest is brewing in both parts of the city, and soon even the "Golden Thread" may be powerless to care for or save anyone.

In a modern update of a classic novel -- especially a Young Adult update -- plot and characterizations are necessarily going to be altered. But Brennan has taken Dickens's plot threads and tied them together in new and fascinating ways, and she's kept the best aspects of the old characterizations while seamlessly weaving in new elements.

Thus Ethan retains the innate nobility of Charles Darnay, and Carwyn has both Sydney Carton's cynicism and his underlying selflessness. Unlike Carton, he's disrespectful and sarcastic even to Lucie for much of the story, and his confession of his true feelings to her is moved to the last part of the story (although of course, any reader of A Tale of Two Cities -- not to mention anyone familiar with Young Adult tropes -- knows it's coming). And thanks to the first-person perspective, we only ever see him through Lucie's eyes, which makes for a far different reading experience than when we were seeing all Sydney's quiet and private moments. But like Carton, Carwyn is human enough, and compelling enough, to hold our interest and sympathy even before his true character is revealed.

As for Lucie herself, I was particularly impressed with Brennan's treatment of her. She too retains a defining characteristic of the original -- Lucie's compassion for others, which plays an integral role in this story just as it did in Dickens's novel -- but there's much more to her than that.

Many modern readers and critics dislike Dickens's Lucie for being too perfect. So Brennan easily could have done what so many other modern writers do: simply ditching the "nice girl" image altogether and remaking the heroine into a butt-kicking invincible Amazon of a girl. Instead, Brennan sets herself a much harder challenge: She takes the "too perfect" image and runs with it. She gives us a young girl who's perfect on the surface but in turmoil underneath, pushing herself ever harder to live up to an ideal that she believes she's already failed to meet. It's a brilliant move, and it pulls off the seemingly impossible task of simultaneously being faithful to Dickens's idea and giving us a Lucie whom modern readers can care about: complex, damaged, and vulnerable.

Brennan also succeeds in conveying Dickens's ideas about the cycle of vengeance that can drive a society to destruction. Clearly the Light is not all good and the Dark is not all bad -- but the reverse is true as well. Just as in A Tale of Two Cities, the oppressed have good reason to rise up, but too many of them are then willing to turn into oppressors themselves. Brennan skillfully uses both plot and character to demonstrate this idea, as when the Madame Defarge figure in the story turns out to be someone very close to Lucie. Lucie soon has to learn that even a person who has always seemed loving and wise, someone she has looked up to and depended on, can harbor destructive hate. (Again, this is just one of the many interesting things Brennan does with character. There are little inside jokes for Dickens fans -- the Lorry and Pross characters are married! -- and there are some surprises. I guessed who was going to be the seamstress in this version, and I thought it was a good guess, but I was wrong.)

Dickens's use of symbolism and repetitiveness are also replicated here. Either would be easy to go overboard with, but Brennan is a strong enough author to use them effectively. I missed some of the ways that Dickens incorporated religious faith into the story, but we do get a bit of religious language and imagery, especially at the end (i.e., the idea of sins being wiped away).

If this book has a weakness, it's the fact that none of its protagonists actually feel like teenagers. It could be argued that they've seen so much and suffered so much that they're older than their years, but even taking that into account, something feels off about their ages. Though Lucie and Ethan are high school students, school seems to be an afterthought to them, and they act more like an old married couple than like two teenagers in love. And every adult in their lives is completely blasé about their sleeping together, a situation that feels unrealistic even in a fantasy novel. I wish Brennan had been able to make them all adults, but I suppose then the book wouldn't have fit the YA market. (Perhaps that's an argument for encouraging publishers to widen that niche, and for teen readers to be willing to stretch a little, but that's a spiel for another time and place.)

But that aside, Tell the Wind and Fire is frankly far better than I ever dared to hope when I first heard that a YA novel based on A Tale of Two Cities was in the works. I loved it not just as a tribute to my favorite novel, but as a masterful novel in its own right.

 A Tale of Two Cities Gina Dalfonzo 2016-04-22T10:42:20-04:00 Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, and 'the contact of their imaginations' http://dickensblog.typepad.com/dickensblog/2016/04/charlotte-bront%C3%AB-charles-dickens-and-the-contact-of-their-imaginations.html As you may know, today marked the bicentennial of Charlotte Brontë's birth.

As you may know, today marked the bicentennial of Charlotte Brontë's birth. In the new biography Charlotte Brontë: A Fiery Heart by Claire Harman, I found this passage about Brontë and Dickens:

She turned down invitations to meet Dickens socially, though the two seem to have been introduced, fleetingly, after a play that [George] Smith took her to. In later life Smith said he had introduced them, and Charlotte told John Stores Smith, an early fan, that she had met Dickens but didn't like him (although she admired his books). The contact of their imaginations, however, went much deeper. Dickens's description of systematic negligence and cruelty in Nicholas Nickleby had impressed Charlotte and, as we have seen, probably contributed to her picture of Lowood School in Jane Eyre. Dickens told [J.G.] Lockhart that he had never read Jane Eyre, "and never would,"* but he didn't need to read such a talked-about book in order to be influenced by it in turn. His friend [John] Forster, who had read Jane Eyre and was struck by the astonishing power of the early chapters being told from the oppressed child's point of view, suggested to Dickens that it would be an interesting experiment to try the same thing, and Dickens, with his keen appetite for novelty, took up the idea immediately in the composition of David Copperfield. Between them, these two great novels marked a sea-change in how the developing consciousness was represented in art and how writers showed adult psychology being forged from childhood experience. We think nothing now of stories told from a child's point of view, but Charlotte Brontë was the first to do it, and Dickens the second. (p. 323)

It's rather a pity these two great novelists didn't get on well, and it's a great shame, I think, that Dickens never read Jane Eyre. But it's fascinating and inspiring to see how the two still managed to influence each other in ways that led to such important breakthroughs in literature!

*In a note, Harmon, quoting from a 1975 article in The Dickensian, elaborates that "he disapproved of the whole school." I'm not certain what school is meant by this, as the Brontës' books (Dickens didn't read Wuthering Heights either) could be said to belong to more than one school or genre.

The reviews are in for Scott Carter's The Gospel According to Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, and Count Leo Tolstoy: Discord in Washington, D.C.! The Washington Post calls it "a funny and hyper-literate play of ideas . . . featuring a trio of able comic performances." DC Metro Theater Arts says, "The play may be a little short on humanity, but it is theologically, philosophically, and historically rich indeed." Broadway World says the play is reminiscent of George Bernard Shaw's works, and DC Theatre Scene calls director Bill Largess's treatment of the play "witty and imaginative."

As its title suggests, Lucinda Dickens Hawksley's newest book about her great-great-great-grandfather, Charles Dickens and His Circle, focuses less on the man himself than on the people around him. One might call it a biography of relationships, rather than a biography of a person. It's an interesting and helpful approach, broadening the usual picture we get of Dickens by giving a vivid portrait of his world and the people in it instead of simply retelling the major events of his life. Hawksley's preface suggests that writing her biography of Dickens's daughter Katey several years ago helped draw her attention to the different facets of her ancestor's personality and how they were brought out by his relationships: "Researching Dickens as a father -- and he was an indulgent and loving father, compared to most Victorian images of the paterfamilias -- was vastly different from studying Dickens the writer." Understanding this made Hawksley a perfect candidate to contribute a volume on Dickens to the National Portrait Gallery Companions series, all of which take a similar approach to their famous subjects (a complete list is available here).

So here, she offers brief but insightful sketches of various Dickens friends, family members, love interests, and colleagues, giving each of them his or her due as a subject, but also tying each one back to Dickens and letting them shed light on his character. Many of his fellow writers are featured here, including Thackeray, Carlyle, Longfellow, Irving, Poe, Gaskell, and Collins, as well as several famous actors and artists of the day. The book is copiously illustrated with portraits and landscapes, and full of excerpts of letters both to and from Dickens. Ultimately, in helping us comprehend him better as a person, it also helps us learn more about him as a writer (as a recent article by Hawksley about Dickens and women, tied to the release of the book, makes clear). For the Dickens fan, as well as for the reader or researcher interested in the prominent personalities of the Victorian era, the book is a must read.

Here's an encouraging piece for those of us who are always looking for ways to help the younger generation learn to love Dickens. Abhilash Gaur writes The Times of India that he's been reading David Copperfield and other Dickens works to his seven-year-old son, and that though he needs to use simplified editions, he's been impressed by his son's understanding of and attraction to the plots and characters:

"I can see that my little Pip has been in love with Estella (now with Em'ly, since he is David); he has sensed trouble as the Artful Dodger leads Oliver to Fagin's shack. He has threatened to squash Monks' head, and he has cheered when David bites Mr Murdstone's hand. He absolutely detests Miss Murdstone. But most of all, my David is heartbroken by mother's death. . . . It's good to nudge kids towards airy and cheerful books, but perhaps it's just as well to expose them to meatier plots from literature as soon as they can stomach them."

On this note, I'd like to give a shoutout to my nine-year-old goddaughter, who recently picked out and bought David Copperfield all on her own! I suspect she may need just to dabble in it for a while before she's fully ready to take the plunge -- that's not at all a bad way to start -- but I hope that this will one day lead to a lifelong enjoyment of Dickens for her.

We were missing one item and they very promptly delivered to our resort! No questions asked! Very polite
Easy to order online. Food was delivered before our arrival and placed in the fridge and freezer as needed. Fresh fruit and produce! Excellent convenient grocery service delivered directly to hotel room!
Garden grocer was a life saver for our family's trip Disney World! I was able to order baby food and the necessities without having to use up space in our suit cases! Our order was waiting at our resort for us when we arrived. We didn't have a car when we were at Disney World so Garden Grocer really saved the day!

Kobe considering practice debut Monday night
EL SEGUNDO -- Kobe Bryant might make his debut in Lakers team practice Monday night, Phil Jackson said after the team's early practice.
Bryant, who is recovering from right knee surgery, agreed he might but was non-committal.
Jackson said Ron Artest is dealing with some hamstring soreness but is making it through practices, referring to Artest's situation as "suffering a little bit of the pangs of training camp."
Jackson is having just one two-a-day workout in camp. He said there were two such days last camp and hasn't seen much positive come from working the players' bodies that hard.
"Veteran players," Jackson said. "It's negative returns, most of it."

Ten-man Atletico Madrid's title challenge was struck a blow on Saturday after Almeria snatched an unlikely 2-0 win in Andalucia.
Atletico went into the game leading La Liga and looking to put the pressure on defending champions Barcelona - who play Sevilla on Sunday - but they met a resilient Almeria side and struggled against the relegation battlers.
Clear-cut chances were rare in the first half as Diego's speculative effort from just outside the area was as close as either side went, while Atletico were denied penalty claims just before the half-hour mark.
Jose Antonio Verza put Almeria ahead 10 minutes from time when his cross found the net and he doubled his tally six minutes later from the penalty spot, with goalkeeper Daniel Aranzubia sent off for hauling down Jonathan Zongo.
The result leaves Atletico on 57 points, level with Real Madrid, who go top on goal difference.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone was without key trio Thibaut Courtois, Luis Filipe and David Villa for the trip to Andalucia, all of whom missed out with injuries.
Fresh from their 3-0 derby disappointment against Real on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey, Atletico looked determined from the off and 19-year-old right-back Javi Manquillo almost got his first La Liga goal with a chipped effort in the seventh minute, but Angel Trujillo got back to clear.
January signing Diego was the next to go close with a dipping 25-yard effort, but Esteban got his fingertips to it, turning it past the post.
With 28 minutes on the clock, Almeria were lucky to escape without conceding a penalty.
The lively Manquillo once again found himself in an advanced position and on-loan Liverpool midfielder Suso pushed him in the back while challenging the teenager in the air, but the referee ignored the Atletico protests.
Diego narrowly missed the target again early in the second half as he cut across the Almeria area after coming in from the right before unleashing a powerful low drive towards the bottom-left corner, but the left-footed attempt went just wide.
Almeria substitute Helder Barbosa somehow escaped a red card with 24 minutes left as the Portuguese midfield produced a callous two-footed stamp on Tiago's right leg, resulting in his compatriot being forced off on a stretcher.
The hosts almost snatched the lead as Aleix Vidal jolted past two defenders before seeing his side-footed effort hit both posts, but luck was on their side shortly after as Verza fortuitously found the top corner after Aranzubia misjudged his cross.
Verza completed the scoring four minutes from time as he confidently dispatched a penalty past Atletico captain Gabi, who was forced to go in nets after Aranzubia was harshly sent off for bringing down Zongo.

Cool pick, Mary! I love all the new "blanks." LOL I was thinking of gluing an image to the fronts and then sealing it with some kind of clear epoxy or resin. Hanging a gemstone in front of it would definitely work, too!
I LOVE this!! Great ideas coming out of this pick!!
Endless options presented here!!
I love these new blanks. There is a product out there called liquid glass that you can place a picture on the blank and it leaves a smooth glass like finish. I have even seen it done with small dried flowers and shells. You pic is beautimus!
I love all the ideas above, I can picture each one of them and want to try it ALL!
I'm wondering if there would be a way to do embossing on them too? I've seen some softer metals done like this, but don't know if the Vintaj Brass is too hard…
With copper you can use the etching liquid.
I am sure you can Google it! I admit it would look great. Brass should work the same since you use the same cleaner on them both the etching liquid should work fine.
Neat idea! I will look that up! I wonder if the metal embossing plates would work to hammer a design into them?
Too many choices! That's where I get stuck!
Sweet chick, thank you for sparking this conversation about these fun new vintaj pendant blanks, and I LOVE all the suggestions, they're giving me lotsa ideas too!!!
So many wonderful ideas and choices for these great new blanks! Thanks for a great pick, Mary, to spark our creativity! My first thought was the small dangles of gems and/or crystals.

There are inexpensive child safety latches that can be placed out of sight in the interior of your cabinet. They are also easy to install and only leave a few small screw holes when removed. Some may use adhesive instead of screws, but they might be less dependable. Such a latch consists of a bendable plastic rod with a blunt hook on one side, and is ...
The best solution is to add a dig-out guard to your fence or dog run: Head to the home improvement store and pick up some galvanized sheet metal about 2 feet wide (corrugated or straight is fine; the stuff they use for roofing and sheathing outbuildings is perfect) With snips, a hacksaw or a Sawzall, cut the metal to workable lengths, maybe 3-4'. If it's ...
Coyote rollers, won't harm children like barb wire, is effective, and can be home owner installed. A Coyote Roller is a patented ribbed roller that mounts to the top of your fence. When a coyote or other predator tries to jump your fence to attack your pets, it requires them to grab hold of the top of a fence. With Coyote Rollers in place, the ...
There are several different types. There are magnetic knobs that require you to place a magnet over the catch before it's released - see here for an example. You leave the existing knobs on the doors which could give you hours of fun as you watch visitors pull at them and wonder why they can't open the door. There are physical catches you can get that ...
At the risk of sounding like an old school hold back, I gotta weigh in on laminate flooring. I have installed thousands of square feet of various wood and laminate flooring. Even though the new laminates tout the hard durable finishes and long warranties, the common weakness of laminate is that it is a picture of wood on some type of paper or synthetic base. ...
I'd get some Barbed Wire arms for the fence. Since a picture is worth 1000 words, However, the non technical answer is that it's legally your neighbour's problem. Depending on your jurisdiction, it might be legal to shoot the dog. Pitbulls are often great dogs. But they can also be awful dogs if owned by idiots.
A simple, no-modification approach that may work for you is to put rubber bands on pairs of knobs, thereby holding two doors closed. You may need strong rubber bands, or several of them.
This answer is more a dog training answer than a DIY answer, but anyways.. All of the suggestions already provided are good for solving the fence problem, but ultimately, your dog will still try and dig, and might even injure themselves trying - especially if there is metal down there. My advice is to get a skat mat - this is a mat that puts off a mild ...
It may seem too simple to work, but you just need to cut your own tailor-made cat door. Basically, a cat can get through any opening it can fit its head through. This usually works against us cat owners, since the beasties have a mind of their own and like to explore. This time, it may work in our favor. So: Measure cat head (breadth), add 1/4 inch to ...
It sounds like your cabinet doors are free-swinging and just rest against the cabinet without any type of initial resistance. If you just need some resistance to make it a little harder to open, I would check out cabinet latches, specifically look at the magnetic catch and roller catch options. Those options would be inside the cabinet and don't introduce ...
You can use cat tunnels that are elevated above where the dog is able to reach. Google has several images of cat tunnels at ceiling height, it is important to check for wires before installing elevated access ways, but cutting and patching holes in drywall is much easier then cutting and patching holes in doors. Also the dog will not try to dig their way ...
First thing first, do NOT use a reciprocating saw for this as this is dangerous and you could end up seriously injured. If looking for something to make this easy, what you need is a trencher - you can probably rent one from your local home improvement store. It will look something like this (there are smaller models but I couldn't find a good picture). ...
you can use an automated air jet/spray that activates when the cat comes close to the door (just a link I found wile googling "cat repellent door" no affiliation)
A friend at work told me this one: Buy a roll or two of clear double-sided tape and put it on the bottom of the door and the bottom of the door frame. When the cats scratch at it, their paws get stuck/sticky (they don't like this at all) and they'll soon learn not to scratch at the door.
Hey Niall, Several coats (4-5?) of a good oil based urethane is gonna be the best protection, but even that is gonna show dog scratches eventually and won't protect the raised panel details that will get rounded over by Fido. Short of a protective barrier, like a piece of thin plexi, I don't know of a thing that will hold up to repetitive scratching, sorry.
This may not be the answer you're looking for, but I think it's your best option... Get video of your cat doing things like opening cabinets and pulling out envelopes. Put the video on YouTube. Watch as the view count hits 10,000,000. ??? Profit!
When I had cats, I used a doorway gate that they sell to keep small children away from steps or out of a room. The cat goes right through it but the dog can't. source
If your dog is really just squeezing under the fence as you described in your question, I was in a very similar situation a few years ago, so here's how I solved the problem: Obtain 1/2" diameter wooden dowels to use as stakes. Cut them into pieces 12-18in long. Wrap one end in duct tape to prevent splitting during burial. Positioning each stake 1-2ft from ...
Cats are just as capable of digging as dogs are. Dogs are capable of digging to get to a trapped and tasty treat. The best thing I can recommend, after years of work to contain psychotic dogs when they're outside, is to have a full enclosure -- top, bottom, all four sides.
take a short chain link fence and dig it in and tie the remaining part to the existing fence (as you should have dug it in in the first place) you can also add a tension wire or 2 to the bottom of the fence so it can't rise high enough for her to fit under. this will only work until she digs a ditch underneath where she can fit through
You could put an electric fence wire at the top. They make kits that contain a single wire and are powered by a battery and possibly have a solar charger. They do not harm animals and are usually put down near the ground to stop aninals from digging under.
Use chain link fence slats. It will prevent the dog from climbing the fence and also give you privacy.
I'm going to try for an outside-the-box solution: How about a cat flap or cat passage _away from the door and above the dog's easy line of sight -- possibly from a shelf the cat can climb or jump to, with similar access on the other side of the wall? I think that would be something the cat could quickly learn to use but that simply wouldn't be an idea the ...
Vinyl plank will allow the urine to seep underneath, unless you use a sealant on the joints/seams. Even if it is properly installed. Using sheet vinyl will work perfect for your application. The only way urine or any other liquid could get underneath would be if a hole/tear was made into the vinyl from mistreatment or from a big spill seeping in from under ...
Why not something like a baby play yard (also called baby fence or baby gate). Some of them are expandable and have adjustable footprints. Images and links provided as examples. Not an endorsment of any goods or source.
I just finished doing this in my back yard yesterday (we just moved into a new house)! Well, I have a semi-permanent solution now, but did this at my old house and it turned out great. Basically, I used livestock fencing pinned to the ground and attached at the base of the chain link fence using steel wire. Measure your fence line, or at least the ...
Velcro! No weird or awkward latches or tricks to open it but difficult or impossible for kitties and children to open. You can use super glue to attach it and you're done. The longer the piece of Velcro is the harder it is to open. I suggest 2 inches of Velcro to both corners of the cabinet.
Add an electric fence about 1 to 2 feet in front of your regular fence. You will have to train your dog about the new boundary by walking along the line of the new "invisiable" fence if he/she is used to being near the fence (with the new collar and device attached). Once trained, you dog shouldn't want to get near the chain link fence again. ...

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The recent United Arab Emirates and Arab League statement on three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf has been instigated by Britain, a senior Iranian MP says.Deputy chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian parliament Hossein Ebrahimi said the Arab League claim that the three Persian Gulf islands of Abu Musa and the Greater and the Lesser Tunbs belong to the United Arab Emirates was a hostile and biased act, which is totally illegal."All existing historical documents in the thousand-old history of the Persian Gulf emphasize Iran's sovereignty over the three islands and show they have always belonged to Iran and remain so," Ebrahimi told Iranian parliament's news agency."The UAE claim to the three islands has been certainly instigated by the British [government] as the history of the existence of the UAE does not go back long enough for the country's officials to claim possession of the three islands," he added.Following an April visit by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Iranian island of Abu Musa, which was part of his tours of the southern Iranian Hormozgan province, the UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan claimed that the move has been a "flagrant violation" of UAE sovereignty.The Arab League repeated the UAE claims in a communiqué at the end of an extraordinary session of its foreign ministerial meeting on Friday.Ebrahimi further stressed that the Arab League should know Iran's sovereignty over the islands is "nonnegotiable" and such moves cannot question that fact.The British Foreign Office issued a meddlesome statement on April 19 saying the visit by the Iranian president to Abu Musa Island was "highly unfortunate."The statement claimed there is a "dispute" between Iran and the UAE over the islands ignoring the fact that there is overwhelming historical, legal and geographical evidence across the world about Iran's sovereignty over the territories.The British Foreign Office statement came as the UN Special Committee on Decolonization considers Britain an illegal occupier of ten territories across the world pending decolonization. /129

"The UAE claim to the three islands has been certainly instigated by the British [government] as the history of the existence of the UAE does not go back long enough for the country's officials to claim possession of the three islands," he added.

Eee lass, you look a right stridewallops in your apple catchers! Hilarious words only the English could have invented
Do you know someone who might be guilty of fornale? That's the 15thcentury word for spending your money before it's been earned.
Or perhaps you're friends with a blatteroon - a person who won't stop talking; or a slapsauce - the name for someone who enjoys eating fine food?
In his fascinating new book on the English language - compiled by scouring hundreds of reference books on everything from Middle English to rural dialects and slang - author Adam Jacot de Boinod has uncovered the kind of words you always wished existed, but never knew did.
Applecatchers! A woman wears a pair of bloomers so large she could (or does...) catch fruit in them
To sproag (Scotland, 16th century) was to run among the haystacks after the girls at night; a lallygagger (1920s) was a courting male who liked to kiss his sweetheart in hallways; a fribbler (1712), a man who professed rapture for a woman, but dreaded her consent.
Eventually, a walk down the aisle to see the gluepot (1811) - a parson (from joining men and women together in matrimony) - could lead to maritality (1812), a charming word, meaning 'the excessive affection a wife feels for her husband'.
Levament (1623)
describes one of the best aspects of a good marriage: 'the comfort a
man has from hi s wife'.
But in general, the words and phrases our
language has thrown up, speak of more demanding realities, with wives
too often in the frame: loudspeaker (underworld slang, 1933); a tenant at will (late 18th century), one whose wife who arrives at the alehouse to make him come home; ten commandments (mid-15th century), the ten fingers and thumbs, especially of a wife; curtain-lecture (b 1811), a reproof given by a wife to her husband in bed.
If a couple were blessed with children, a barleychild was a traditional Shropshire description for a child born in wedlock, but which arrived within six months of marriage (alluding to the time which elapses between barley sowing and barley harvest).
Butter-print is a Tudor-Stuart word for a child that looks like its parents; and if a mother has just two children, and they turn out to be a boy and a girl, the children can be described as a pigeon pair in Wiltshire dialect.
The British were once famed for their stiff upper lip, but it seems this might have been just a paperthin façade for some extremely strong feelings - such as: ugsomeness, the 15th century word used to describe loathing. mumpish (1721) is someone who is sullenly angry; depressed in spirits and gowl (13th century) means to weep bitterly or threateningly.
Froligozene is the Tudor-Stuart word for rejoice; winnick (Lincolnshire), to giggle and laugh alternately; snirtle (1785), to laugh in a quiet or restrained manner; goistering (Sussex), loud feminine laughter.
How would you describe a cat's purr, the way a dog roots around with its nose, a horse's hoof print or the way a deer jumps? Local dialects in particular offer some wonderful ways to do just that... snuzzle (1861), to poke around with one's nose, as dogs do; furs bush (Sussex), the cat's tune when purring; mather (Gloucestershire), to turn round before lying down, as animals often do; fossple (Cumberland, 1783), the impression
of a horse's hoof upon soft ground; giddhom (Ireland), the frantic galloping of cows plagued with flies; chavish (1674), the sound of many birds chirping together.
Most of us know that geese on the ground come in gaggles. But were you aware that when they take to the air they become a skein? The collective nouns for other animals are often bizarre in the extreme:
- a murder of crows
- a watch of nightingales
- an unkindness of ravens
- a crash of rhinoceroses
- a deceit of lapwings
- a convocation of eagles
- a business of ferrets
- a wedge of swans
In the less permissive 1950s, a Nottingham goodnight was the phrase used of a courting couple who had got back from their date, said goodnight loudly, slammed the door, then retired quietly to the sofa, hoping they wouldn't be disturbed
We worry about being overweight these days, but the evidence of language is that not being thin is hardly a new thing. Nor are people's reactions, judging by these rather unflattering descriptions: fubsy (1780), being chubby and somewhat squat; flodge (Banffshire), a big, fat, awkward person; ploffy (Cornwall, 1846), plump; fustilug (1607), a fat, sloppy woman.
So it must be reassuring to some that being skinny can also attract unfavourable notice: windlestraw (1818), a thin, lanky person; gammerstang (1570), a tall, awkward woman; stridewallops (Yorkshire), a tall, long-legged girl.
But it's not just size that can attract rude comments - you wouldn't want to hear that you were bible-backed (1857) either - round-shouldered, like one who is always poring over a book; crambazzled - a Yorkshire term for being prematurely aged through a dissolute life; a push, the Tudor-Stuart word for pimple; or quobbled - a Wiltshire term to describe hands that are shrivelled from being too long in the washtub.
Throughout history, the clothes we wear have always drawn plenty of comment, too. In the 16th century, prick-me-dainty was used to describe a person who was finicky about dress.
Applecatchers is a traditional Herefordshire name for outsized knickers (so big one could use them for harvesting apples); cod-heads (1930s), a Glaswegian way of describing shoes that have worn out at the toe. like edgware road (20th century) is a phrase describing tight trousers (because it's got no ballroom, either); yule-hole (Scots, 1911), the last hole to which a man could stretch his belt at a Christmas feast.
Nothing, surely is worse than those people who put on airs and graces. nosism (1829) was the use of the royal 'we' in speaking of oneself; peel eggs (c.1860) was to stand on ceremony; gedge (Scotland, 1733) meant to talk idly with stupid gravity - or claim to know more than you do; ultracrepidarian (1819) was one who makes pronouncements on topics beyond his knowledge; raw-gabbit (Scotland, 1911) was speaking confidently on a subject of which one is ignorant; like the back of a cigarette card (UK slang, 1930s) meant to pretend to greater knowledge than one has (the cards had a picture on the front and a potted biography on the back).
When all is said and done, however, there are still some things that will always remain very hard to put your finger on (and even pronounce).
That's where oojiboo (1918), a word for an unnamed thing, a whatsit; feelimageeries (1894), a Scottish word for knick-knacks, and - take a deep breath - floccinaucinihilipilification (1741), the categorising of something that is useless or trivial. In fact, we feel utter deepooperit - a Shetland word for worn out - just thinking about it. And there's whiffling (1613), trifling, fiddling.
