Maqbara Jannat ul Baqī' (Arabic: مقبرة جنة البقيع, The Jannat Ul Bakki Cemetery) is a cemetery in Medina, present-day Saudi Arabia, located to the southeast of the Masjid al-Nabawi (The Prophet's Mosque). The mosque is built where the Islamic prophet Muhammad used to live, and is currently buried. The cemetery is also known as Jannatul Baqi, meaning "The Garden of Baqi" and Baqiul Qarqad, which means "Baqi of the Boxthorn".
The cemetery holds much significance. It contains many of Muhammad's relatives and companions. Many traditions relate Muhammad issuing a prayer every time he passed it. A Jewish graveyard was once located behind Jannatul Baqi. The Umayyad rulers took down the wall of the Jewish cemetery and widened the Muslim graveyard to enclose the tomb of Caliph Uthman ibn Affan within it.[1]

When Muhammad arrived at Medina from Mecca in September 622, al-Baqi was a land covered with Lycium shawii boxthorn trees.
During the construction of the al-Masjid al-Nabawi, on the site he purchased from two orphan children when he arrived after his migration from Mecca to Medina, Asa'ad Bin Zararah, one of Muhammad's companions died. Muhammad chose the spot to be a cemetery and Asa'ad was the first individual to be buried in al-Baqi among the Ansar.
While Muhammad was outside Medina for the Battle of Badr, his daughter Ruqayyah fell sick and died in 624.
Shortly after Muhammad arrived from Badr, Uthman bin Maz'oon died and was buried in al-Baqi. He was considered the first companion of Muhammad from the Muhajirun to be buried in the cemetery.
Earlier Caliph Uthman ibn Affan was buried in the huge neighbouring Jewish grave yard. The first enlargement of al-Baqi in history was made by Muawiyah I, the first Umayyad Caliph. In order to honour Uthman ibn Affan, Muawiyah included the huge Jewish graveyard into al-Baqi cemetery. The Umayyad Caliphate built the first dome in al-Baqi over his grave. During different times of history, many domes and structures were built or rebuilt over many famous graves in al-Baqi.
On 21 April 1926 the mausoleums in al-Baqi were destroyed by the Wahhabi Ikhwan forces. In the same year, he also demolished the tombs of holy persons at Mualla Cemetery in Mecca where Muhammad 's first wife Khadijah, his grandfather and other ancestors are buried.[2] This happened despite protests by the international Islamic community.[3][4]

Miami Dade County Industrial Development Authority Series 1998A Bond Rating Lowered To 'A/A-1' Feb 12
- February 2012
- Standard & Poors
NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) Feb. 8, 2012--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services today lowered its rating on Miami Dade County Industrial Development Authority's $10 million variable-rate demand revenue bonds series 1998A due April 1, 2030, to 'A/A-1' from 'A+/A-1'. At the same time, we removed the rating from CreditWatch with negative implications, where we had placed it on Jan. 13, 2012.

The long-term component of our rating on the bonds is based on our long-term issuer credit rating on Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment...

text: MOST recent trends in savings and investments brought out by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) show a remarkable turnaround in public sector finances. Savings of the public sector touched 2.2% of the GDP in 2004-05 , the highest level since the late eighties.This is an amazingly fast recovery as the public sector was saddled by a peak rate of negative savings of 2% of the GDP just three years ago in 2001-02 . The pick up in the economy and the efforts to improve fiscal management at the Centre and in the states seem to be finally paying off.Public sector savings turned negative in the late '90s and the numbers zoomed up to a peak level of Rs 46,377 crore in 2001-02 . But since then the savings rate improved dramatically and was back on the positive track by 2003-04 . Now the nominal public sector savings has zoomed up to Rs 69,390 crore in 2004-05 , far ahead of any previous records.A back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that this means the public sector savings have improved by a massive Rs 1,15,767 crore over the last four years which would translate into an equal increase in the size of funds available for financing private sector investments. But it is not that all segments of the public sector have turned into net savers. The overall savings rate in the public sector is calculated by clubbing together the savings of government administration , departmental enterprises and non-departmental enterprises.Most recent trends show that negative savings of the government administration has steadily come down by more than half to 2.7% of the GDP over the last four years. However, savings of the department enterprises — mainly railways and telecom — have remained largely stagnant at 0.5% of the GDP during the period. The most significant improvement has been the steady pick up in savings of the non-departmental enterprises — other public sector companies — by 1.5 percentage points to 4.4% of the GDP in the last four years.

More and more I'm feeling stiffness in my arms and legs, in my muscles mostly, and it's a different feeling than the spasticity I've gotten before. The feeling is almost like my skin is too tight in my calves, thighs, forearms and upper arms. Oh, fingers in one hand too. Then it will fade away, only to return later. Does this sound familiar to anyone?READ MORE
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
yes i do too-it's hard to explain the feeling to someone who hasn't experienced it. i have to keep my legs covered especially at night becaise any air that blows across them is painful. ask your dr.about which of the spasticity meds might woek best for you. i'm not a md. but think it's all spasticity.i do hope it's not too painful for you.djax59READ MORE
Its so funny that I came across this tonight. I have had MS for over 10 years now. This morning I woke up with stiff legs mostly in my right calf but can feel in all the way up my leg. Its so stiff and yes it feels as if your skin is being stretched. I don't know if its the ms or something else.
carolREAD MORE
Yes, I do, but I haven't beeen diagnosed with MS. My MRI came back clear and my blood work is okay too. I've been travelling this week and my neck is so sore down my shoulders and back into my hips.I've nver experienced that before, but the tight legs aand aarms. I tell my hsuband I feel as though I am carrying weights on my calves. I also get such a tightness inmy chest (all heart work ups also come up clear too). my fingers oin myleft hand are more tingly numb, like they just woke up than my right arm aas well as my right foot. I've lost my eyesight seveal times in the past few weeks, and I'm so off balance and dizzy.
I think I"m "crazy". how can all these things feel this way and yet no confirmation to say yes you do have MS or no you don't . I also have a terrible time "tasting" and I love to cook...
I wish I could help you more with answers but I don't know anything except what I am experiencing. Everyday, several times a day, I come here looking for answers, an I leave in tears.
I"m taking medications and they have reduced the spasms in my hands. IREAD MORE
Have you had a spinal tap done to check for proteins in your spinal fluid? Your symptoms sound like a person with MS. Have you tried other doctors or neurologists in your area? What about testing for Lymes disease? I have heard that there are similar symptoms with that and MS, are you living in an area where there are wood ticks? Hang in there, I know it can be frustrating feeling the way you do and not knowing what is wrong. You are not crazy, just don't give up searching.READ MORE
I have had clear MRI's 4, clear lumbar puncture, no lyme disease and no octagonal bands. Apparently my case is unusual but they can only prescribe my symptoms to MS. I have had every test under the sun. I have the stiffness and symptoms you mention. MS is a hard disease to definitively diagnose. Amazingly after all these years neuros know little about it or what causes and the ways to treat it with steroids are primitive and ineffectual in many cases. Check out CCVSi .....I am trying to save for the op.
Yes READ MORE
I'm new, but have been reading alot from this site. In answer to your question, Yes, All the time. Also feels like being weighted down, hard to move like trying to move quickly in water and haveing that resistance when trying to move. In both the arms and legs.And get very fatigued quickly. also feels like the arms are tied off with an atternicate, cutting off the blood supply and going numb. The balance and dizzieness is probably the worst part of it and for me it started that way very gradualy at first but also had a very sore neck and still do. Just blew it off at first, as muscle tension. Then the Dizzieness and balance got way worse especially with loud sounds, made me fall over. Lots of deep muscle and joint pain and lots of muscle spasams as well. If I close my eyes even while standing I'll fall over, makes showering a big challange.
I have experienced just about every symptom that goes along with this condition and it seems to be very fast in progression sense the balance got so bad I could no longer drive,O.K. drive safely anyway. Lost my vision a couple of times , but it always came back. But now I have this unexplained blurry vision, that seems to be gradually getting worse. I have gotten glasses twice and with Bi-foculs it just keeps getting worse. I have been seeing Many Neurologists and Have had many many tests over the last 4 plus years.
At this point I have no trust with the medical system at all, How do ya know what they are telling you is even right, how do ya know the tests were done correcly, and after all the B.S. Diagnosis that you were given during this whole process of Diagnosis that your even going to get the correct one. I have seen 12 differant Neurology Specialists, Every one wants to do there own tests and still have no real answers or as they put it, Diffinative Diagnosis. I have read something that really caught my eye on this site about Spinal MS.
I have had many MRI's with and W/O contrast, and yes they can go wrong, I have had Two deep veign Thromboses from them doing it incorrectly or by haveing a reaction to the contrast solution who knows. They never even tried to find out either way. They say I have lesions but are consistant with my age group. the cfs has a high level of protine and high red blood cell count but was dismissed as Haveing a tramatic lumbar puncture. They performed the Lumbar puncture Fluroscopy proceedure and never had to re-stab but did how ever got close to a nerve root and re-aimed the needle with sucess, not haveing to withdraw the needle.
Because the Neurologist feels it was a Tramatic puncture he refuses to test the Srum any further. He also told me no more testing will be done, No more MRI's, No more Evoked potentials , No more CT scans , No more anything. I guess I need to go else where. AGAIN , So far I have been to Two university Hospitals, Two V.A. Hospitals and Several Independant Neurologists. and alot of differant departments Like, ENT's and Otoneurologists, Neuro-optomoligists, who just can't explain or disclose what they even suspect this could be.Oh did I mention Neurophyscologists as well.
I don't even know why they were even involved, after doing thier tests they called me back with thier results and say, you could be very well haveing the problems you have described with the memory and difficuly with problem solving and remembering and retension of new information and difficulties with finding words but these tests are not designed to show that, I asked them then why did I even have to go through all those tests, I thought they were designed to help the neurologist determine the right Diagnosis. they replied, thats determined upon the presentation of your symptoms to your Neuro. Wow what a bunch of B.S. Just another way to dig in your pockets.
Sorry, had to vent a little. I have been doing alot of reasearch on my own and ran into the Spinal MS and talked about lesions being in the spinal area and in how it affects the balance and limb problems more so than lesions on or in the brain. During my long road to diagnosis they have only one CT scan done and one X-ray of my neck and spine.Could it be that they just over looked this or just decided it wouldn't be very detectable or detected in this manner ? Do I need to fire this guy and Seek a new Neuro ? My problem is that I feel like I had this for so long now and with the fact that this is getting so progressive,
that I may be in the Primary progressive stages with this, And from all I have learned about this phase there really isn't much they can do at this point, especially with the balance and dizzieness that are the most problamatic. The rest I can tollerate perty well, O.K. for the most part they do resolve to some degree and they do present them selfs more often and at the worst times. But if I just let it go with out treatment of any kind will this be life shortening due to other secondary problems like swollowing food or liquids, asperation during sleep?
From what I found about the asperation part of it during sleep, phnomiuma is more likely going to be the culperate.
And they really don't have much information about the ways they treat the more advance stage of MS, Maybe there really isn't much let out for the advanced stages to the general public, who knows.....READ MORE
Yes, I have been getting more and more stiffness in my arms, necks, shoulders and legs. Lately I have also had pain in my arms and shoulders. I cannot move my arms very much any more. I can no longer touch my back. My neurologist is going to have me meet with a neurosurgeon about a baclofen pump.READ MORE

Evangelicals: GOP Tumult Doesn't Doom Immigration Push
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's political career may be dead, but appeals for him to act on immigration reform remain very much alive.
Mr. Cantor (R., Va.), along with Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.), the chairwoman of the GOP conference, will on Thursday receive a letter from a group of evangelical leaders demanding they act on comprehensive immigration reform.

The Evangelical Immigration Table, a group of 11 religious leaders ranging from White House confidante Jim Wallis, the president of the Christian social justice agency Sojourners, to Russell Moore, the leader of the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, had planned to use Mr. Cantor's widely assumed primary victory as a jumping off point to pressure him to proceed on immigration reform legislation.
Now they are holding on to the scant chance that Mr. Cantor's primary loss to economics professor David Brat, who campaigned as an ardent opponent to immigration reform, won't doom the reform effort.
"I actually think it's providential that we have this letter at this particular time," said Galen Carey of the National Association of Evangelicals. "This is what evangelicals would call a kairos moment, the time when something can happen. It really is a moment where there's been this significant change in the political scene and we couldn't have predicted it."
And despite Mr. Cantor's defeat, the evangelicals are pushing forward anyway, releasing the latest in their series of increasingly stern letters kindly requesting House Republicans act on immigration reform.
"The status quo is untenable. Congressional inaction is hurting our families, farms, businesses, churches and national security," the evangelicals write. "The moral case for reform is clear and compelling. The time has come to finish the job!"
The only reference to Mr. Cantor's defeat in the six-paragraph letter is an allusion to the "vocal opposition of a few."
"Our prayer is that the House passes immigration legislation before the August recess. Please don't let the vocal opposition of a few prevent you from acting," they write. "We commit to supporting your efforts and praying for you as you work to take historic votes in the days ahead."
The evangelicals are hardly the only immigration group recalibrating their efforts after Mr. Cantor's defeat. For weeks groups pressuring Congress planned to make Mr. Cantor, who as majority leader controls the House legislative calendar, the subject of their summer wrath. Indeed, a group called Casa de Virginia crashed his primary night party Tuesday after he completed his concession speech.
On Capitol Hill Wednesday, pressure continued from a constellation of pro-immigration groups. The United Farm Workers staged a protest outside Mr. Boehner's office, with the union's president and others ending up arrested. The Business Roundtable released a new report making the economic case for an overhaul.
And Fwd.us, the group funded largely by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, released two polls conducted by a large group of Republican pollsters. One found that the GOP faces big challenges attracting Hispanic voters but that the party's standing would improve with passage of immigration legislation. The other found that Republican voters support the sort of immigration policies being debated now.
Gabriel Salguero, the president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, went so far as to suggest in an interview that Mr. Cantor's defeat might help him finally acquiesce to allowing their legislative effort to proceed.
"Maybe, even with Cantor's loss, there's an opening for leadership to say, 'Hey, this is the direction that we need to go in the House,'" Mr. Salguero said. "Wouldn't it be something if Cantor on his way out showed some leadership on immigration reform as a parting gift? Why not?"

Definition of Americium
Americium: Symbol: Am. A man-made metallic element whose isotopes Am-237 through Am-246 are all radioactive. Americium must be handled with great care to avoid personal contamination. Trace quantities of americium are widely used in smoke detectors. It is also used in bone mineral analysis and as a radiation source for radiotherapy.
Americium was discovered in 1944 at the wartime metallurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago as the result of successive neutron capture reactions by plutonium isotopes in a nuclear reactor.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Perhaps the link should be: "Log in to Fedora" to hint that it as after your Fedora Project-wide login credentials (it's not obvious it's an integrated system, especially for the person who's not interested in Fedora per-se, just some of the software hosted here).
There should be a link: Sign Up, so that non-fedorans can get a fedora account (so that for example they can report bugs to fedora hosted projects).

Here is an example of an experienced developer and project maintainer failing to negotiate the byzantine login/registration system:
comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by sdeasey
This problem could be solved by implementing a fedora-wide convention that at the top of each page which can be logged into with a fedora account -- the Trac instances, the wiki, packagedb etc. -- there is a blue horizontal bar which show the current login status. If you are logged in, it shows your name and a logout link, otherwise it shows a login link. It would also have an 'account' link, to change your password etc.
Having this common element on all Fedora websites would highlight that your fedora account is available here.

I do not know how to add the blue bar to trac, but I could provide you with instructions about how to add a signup link to the trac instance. There is a trac-plugin for this, but I need to look up the details.

Kevin suggested in this mailing list post that it may be better to hold off on this work until "we upgrade to new trac (our current version is very old)"

California university, students revolt against failing cafe named for Che Guevara | Fox News
Students shouldn't have to prop up a failing business just because of their classmates' nostalgic romanticism, said one student.
"I do not believe Che Cafe closing will be a severe blow to the campus' overall aesthetic," soon-to-be graduate Marco Vasquez, a political science major and vice chair of the university's College Republicans, told FoxNews.com in an e-mail. "The majority of students that I have spoken to do not know what or where the Che Cafe is, given that it is on the edge of campus. Those who do know either visit it regularly or describe it as creepy."
Creepy is a good description of its murderous namesake, as well.
Check out my new bestseller, Lightning Fall: A Novel of Disaster. Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit.com says: "Bill Quick has authored a terrific thriller that is also an all too plausible warning. Highly recommended!" Available in Kindle e-book or trade paperback formats.

Hong Kong's Exchange: Too Popular?
The Hong Kong stock exchange may be a victim of its own success.
As The Wall Street Journal's Alison Tudor writes Thursday, the decision by Brazilian mining giant Vale SA to list depositary receipts in Hong Kong should be a reason to celebrate for the exchange. It's trying to position itself as a capital-raising hub for the mining sector amid intensifying competition as rivals in Australia and Singapore mull a tie-up.
But with a huge pipeline of initial public offerings yet to be approved — 72 at the end of October –it could be some time before Vale, the world's largest iron-ore producer, can join Hong Kong's roster of listed foreign companies.
Allowing Vale to jump the queue would do much to boost the exchange's credibility as a trading hub for resources companies, not a traditional Hong Kong strength. It could also breathe new life into an IPO market that may be running out of steam now that such big-ticket 2010 listings as AIA Group Ltd. and Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. are out of the way.
Some recent IPOs in Hong Kong have failed to set the market alight, as renewed concerns about inflation in China and debt crisis in Europe affect sentiment. Shirble Department Store Holdings plunged 18% on its first day of trading Wednesday, a day after battery maker Leoch International Technology Ltd. fell 13% on its debut. Thursday, there came a better first-day performer: Citic Dameng, a spin-off from Chinese energy and metals producer Citic Resources, finished 6% higher.
The exchange has already made allowances for miners in its eagerness to attract more resource companies and even changed its listing rules to make it easier for mining exploration companies without a profitable track record to list. What will the exchange allow next to win business? It may want to take a lesson from Germany's Neuer Markt, which collapsed in 2002 after fierce competition with other exchanges to attract listings led to lower standards.
To be sure, the exchange has taken steps to ensure there are no wild swings in Vale's stock price even though the company isn't issuing new shares.
It has asked Vale to mandate a bank, J.P.Morgan Chase & Co., to keep volatility low by arbitraging between the miners' listings around the world.
At least the exchange has learnt this particular lesson. Hong Kong legislators slammed the practice of listing without issuing new shares when Asian Citrus Holdings' shares rose eightfold on its debut last November before plummeting, as the trading system failed to update investors on a share split that occurred after the release of the company's listing document.

Brewton-Parker Students Serve and Learn in Toronto
MOUNT VERNON -- While many college students fled to warm sandy places for their spring breaks, 14 Centennial Scholars from Brewton-Parker College spent a week learning a life's worth of experiences from those whose goals involve finding or providing primitive shelter or a simple meal in a less-privileged and cold environment.
The students and four sponsors spent spring break in Toronto, Ontario, by serving in the inner- city area of Canada's largest city. Through a host organization, the Center for Student Missions (CSM), the Brewton-Parker students served the homeless and poor by working with several existing ministries in the city.
Students who made the trip were: Alston Carter, Duston Griffin, Josh Hartley, Jason Hughes, Shannon Jones, Keely Kump, Jonathon Pryor, Lane Snyder, Michelle Stokes, David Symons, Courtney Thompson, Keith Wade, Thomas Weaver and John Wolters.
Sponsors were Sandra Clay, director of enrollment support services; Michael Aoa, director of student activities; Luke Stokes, plant operations maintenance worker and his wife, Nicky.
The trip's activities followed the motto of the servant leadership program, "Developing Servant Leaders for the Marketplace."
During the weekdays, students made beds in a homeless shelter, worked and served patrons in soup kitchens, sorted donated clothes at used clothing distribution centers, and sorted, boxed and labeled donated food at the Greater Toronto Area Central Food Bank. They also spent time talking to the workers and patrons in the drop-in centers during meal times.
Through two evening activities arranged and led by the CSM staff, students experienced living on the street. On both nights, the temperature was in the lower 20s or teens, and the students were on the street for about three hours.
Through the activities, the students learned that in every encounter with a homeless person, they must speak to the person in a way that preserves his dignity as a human being.
"The activities proved to be especially intense-learning experiences and impacted the students deeply," said Clay, who coordinated the Toronto trip for the Centennial Scholars. "For example, wherever a homeless person is sleeping IS his home, and he should be approached as if we were his guest."
On the first night of the evening activities, CSM city hosts took the students to a Christian youth center and explained the teenage runaway problem in Toronto. Students learned about some of the problems that cause young people to run away and the kinds of problems they encounter when they arrive in a large city with little money and no one who knows them.
The students then were divided into small groups, given $2 and taken out on the streets. They had to find a way to feed themselves, locate a place they could sleep, find a place they could go to the bathroom after midnight and decide who they could trust.
During the de-briefing afterward, they expressed feelings of anger, frustration, fear, and vulnerability as they had tried to cope with the enormity of their need and the lack of options.
On the following night, the students went out on the streets in small groups to hand out sacked meals to the homeless. The meals consisted of a peanut and jelly sandwich, two cookies, an apple and a juice box.
The students had prepared 75 meals, but because the night was so cold, police and firemen had picked up the majority of the people and taken them to shelters for the night. About 50 lunches were given out during the three-hour trek.
"Going up to a stranger to offer food was a humbling experience as we saw how little the people had and how grateful they were for a cold sack lunch," Clay said.
The Brewton-Parker delegation also participated in a French-English Congolese worship service and experienced eating such international cuisine as Somali and Afghani food.
After spending a week of exciting and humbling experiences in Toronto, the Centennial Scholars and their four sponsors returned to Mount Vernon with more compassion for those in need and a greater desire to make a difference where they are.
"Next year as seniors, these same students will identify a need in the local community, plan an outreach to meet the need, enlist volunteers, and lead the project to completion," Clay said. "By the time they graduate, they will be equipped to go out into their world, wherever life may take them, and be a catalyst for good in their communities."

What can we learn from this wasp nest?
We have been watching this nest all summer and much what these wasps have done we do too! These wasps have worked together for a common purpose – work together as a group to build a structure that protects them and their young. Hmmm….sounds familiar! As we studied the nest we can see that is created from paper – which the wasp make from wood fiber. But what is really interesting is the design. This nest was created on a tree branch along side our road so it had very little protection but it shape sheds water. It also has vents in the top of the nest to allow the drying...Read More

Throughout my life I have wondered why it is that people label people or things as 'weird'. Regardless of its rigorous definition, the public perception of the term generally seems to refer to anything that people either fail to or not want to understand. I have been called weird on many occasions, and on all of those occasions I have understand why it is that I do what I do, or how others have misunderstood my actions. Would it not be reasonable to say that all things have a reason as to why they take place. For example, people with Tourettes syndrome were probably completely misunderstood until someone came along and said 'Its called Tourettes and is caused by incorrect messages being sent from the brain'. Now it is accepted in society.
Quantum mechanics and black holes are often referred to as weird, clearly from the context not because they do things that are unacceptable but because the majority of people fail to comprehend its underlying principles and it contradicts their view of reality.
In Mathematics, when they try to prove a result, do they avoid it and say 'You can't prove that one, its weird'? It seems to me that 'weird' is a word people use to label any problem they cannot conquer. No-one fully understands something and still thinks it is weird, otherwise they do not have the full answer. All things happen for a reason so why are people so ignorant as to label it.
I just think it is a word that should not be used as it causes narrow mindedness and can offend.
Please tell me what you think. Thanks
I'm guessing the person that negged this post thinks I am 'weird' but I bet he/she didn't bother to post why they believe that and actually confront what they disagree with or do not understand. Pure ignorance IMO.
The notion of 'weird'
|Posted on
|GCSE grade boundaries are here - GO>
IMO, it's just simple human psychology. We like to single out or identify anomalies. It may seem un-PC at times, but it's just how we think/perceive things as a species.
That said, weird is subjective, and nothing is inherently weird.
I agree with the above poster, provided 'subjective' is taken to mean "depending on properties of the observer or of potential observers either exclusively or in conjunction with properties of the object", or thereabouts. It's one of those words that pseudo-philosophers use as a trojan horse to smuggle all manner of bull**** into our consciousness if it's not rigorously defined.
I think that the fact that David Bowie and Kate Bush happened to couple handsomeness/ attractiveness with some ethereal types of songs made people ludicrously label them as supernaturally otherwordly, as if the public thought that the Martians had landed with their strange language that, actually, happened to be created by 2 very well mannered, clever and actually very well balanced middle class English people- especially Kate. But most people are not well balanced enough in all these attributes to see this! So the sweaty, fat masses had the gall to regard these national treasures as weird.
I associate the word with individuals that do no succumb to social conformity. It may not always be for the best, but some of the best customs/practices today are a result of it, and therefore, IMO, it shouldn't be used as a term to offend. If anything, it should simply serve to signify the fact that the thought process or the practice of such a "weird" individual is not something we can all relate to.

That group of people are weird.

I heard there are these people who get down on their knees and try to speak to this supernatural thing asking for 'guidance' and they read this book which tells them how to live their lives. Some of them even blow themselves up in the name of this supernatural thing.
That group of people are weird.
Why should the term weird be discouraged? Not everybody has a tolerance for diversity or difference (of which largely modern society of all time periods promotes).
I suppose the same can be said about terms like "creepy". It's usually a place-holder for all kinds of ignorant prejudices, especially when applied to other human beings.
I think that we first have to define what is normal before we can say something/someone is weird.

That group of people might be difficult to comprehend, but to stereotype on the basis of a select few is simply ignorant.
If you tell me you are devout to some kind of religion I am going to judge you. You freely choose what your religion is and what you do with regards to it. Thus I am judging you on your choices. Which makes total sense.
(Original post by Annie72)
I think that we first have to define what is normal before we can say something/someone is weird.
but weird simply is something that does not conform to the norm.
the word weird derives from the Old German for left handed...
no prizes for guessing which hand i use
I'm sometimes called weird because I read and write in my spare time (it's seen as work). Yet, in the 19th century or before, this is what most intellectual people used to do anyway. Many modern students view any extra-academic work as 'weird'.....
That's just one example.
Lastly, to use the notion 'weird' is to suggest that there is a concept of 'normal'. It is also to suggest that 'normal' is good; 'weird' or anything not 'normal' is bad or wrong. However, is 'normal' not the current status quo of that time? And following the status quo is not exactly amazing - it merely breeds widespread mediocrity and unremarkableness.
For example, many young people and students 'go out' and get drunk many a times - anybody in that age group who doesn't, is perceived as 'weird'. The young drinkers think that they're rebelling and fighting against the status quo and authority etc - however, the sheer numbers of those who drink and 'go out' in that age group renders those activities as the status quo. Those who do not engage in such activities are the actual rebels, the actual teenagers.
A differing disposition is often referred to as "weird" because the person is trying to shield themselves from change. They'd rather remain ignorant and comfortable in their own thinking than have it cleaved and altered by some external force. That is the conclusion I have come to anyway. I'll give an example of a conversation I once had where I was deemed weird.
Silly Person: "Hey, I had a strange dream yesterday about elongated tale. It's lucky dreams aren't real though!"
Myself: "On the contrary, dreams are real."
Silly Person: "Haha, what? Oh you're so weird!" -afterwhich changes topic-
When someone doesn't understand something or would rather not -which is unfortunately the case for most of my peers- they divert the subject with "weird".
On the topic of the term "weird", I do have some experiences.
I remember mentioning to my brother's girlfriend several years back that I was going on a meditation retreat. Her reply was, "Weird."
When my brother mentioned to her at the time that I was still a virgin at age 22, she laughed and said "That's weird!"
Let's just say I have a low opinion of her "type".
Also, I once had a discussion on a philosophy chatroom about gay marriage. It went something like this:
Him: I'm fed up with gays trying to persuade me that they are normal.
Me: What do you mean by "normal", exactly?
Him: Come on!
Me: No, I need a definition.
Him: Not weird.
Me: "Weird"? Isn't that just a personal prejudice?
Him: Yeah. And I'm entitled to it.
I think that sums it up.
I do hope we don't get to the point where we ban the use of 'weird'.

"What ever happened to Jiraiya love?" by BlackOrchid69
Categories: Naruto
Characters: Jiraiya
Description: I've read quite a bit of fanfiction and I haven't seen any that really included Jiraiya as a sole pairing with the reader or an oringal OC. I know he's known as the perverted Ero Sannin and all that jazz with his infamous "research" on beautiful women. But really he's not all that bad! He's unappreciated and he needs love too! So I'm proposing that somebody, anybody please make a Jiraiya story. It could be a pairing with Jiraiya and the reader or Jiraiya and an OC. I'd really appreciate it!

Pediatrics – Nutrition & Fitness for Life
NFL Clinic Treatment Components
The NFL Program's specialty weight management clinic provides a comprehensive family and behavioral approach, as this is the sole evidence-based approach in pediatrics that has proven successful in treating obesity in children. However, many families are not ready for behavior management and need counseling sessions on roles and responsibilities, communication and motivation.
The core program focuses on motivation and readiness to change. The initial visit includes a physician and dietitian visit for in-depth medical, nutritional and physical activity assessment of the patient, as well as a psychological screening. At the end of the visit, an action plan is developed for the family.
A typical patient receives the following services each year
- Assessment and evaluation by physician and dietitian
- A lifestyle change intervention (action plan) with intensive treatment during six clinic visits within three to six months followed by maintenance visits up to one year
- Psychologist treatment plan based on initial screening
- Maintenance and relapse prevention visits with the clinical team
The NFL clinical team follows children with more complex medical issues more frequently. Care plans are developed in conjunction with primary care and other specialty clinics, such as endocrinology, child psychology, sleep lab, ear, nose and throat and cardiology. Approximately 13 percent of NFL's patients require ongoing psychological counseling because stigmatization, depression and diminished quality of life from teasing and social marginalization are part of the profound psychological impact of being overweight.
NFL is designed as a 12-month clinical program including 3 to 6 months of intensive treatment followed by maintenance sessions. The program tailors care to each family's needs.
A referral from a Primary Care Physician is required for evaluation and treatment in the NFL clinic. Please see the eligibility criteria below. The NFL Patient Brochure has information regarding our current services.

Please does anyone have a simple guide to changing the SSID and also the
password on a totally wireless network. I am worried about making the
change and then being cut off from the router (which is in a different room)
if it doesn't go well.
Changing the SSID - I can see how to change the SSID in the router but not
on the PC - it seems to be greyed out. Do I simply create a new connection
with the new SSID? (I am using XP SP3)
When changing the password ( I am using WPA-PSK (TKIP)) is the network key
the same as the pass phrase or do I need to convert it into hex first. I
recall XP did this for me when I set up the network but can't remember how).
Finally the key index is currently set to 1 - is this the best setting.

Dioptry correction D 700
Hi colleague Nikonians,
-first time on the forum-
Could anyone help me out with the following question: what is the dioptry deviation (or distance from focus point inside the camera to the eye) for the Nikon D-700? Is there somewhere an overview of these deviations for Nikon cameras?
The reason is simple: I need eye surgery and want to decide which dioptry to get on my eye correction.
I guess the deviation is about -3, or about 30-35 cm. Is this correct?
Thank you in advance for your answers!
Kind regards,

State aid for students well spentAugust 15,2013
State aid for students well spent
I was pleased to read last week about Gov. Shumlins statewide efforts to help Vermonters retrain for jobs within the state. I am glad you are covering this development, and I am glad Gov. Shumlin isnt just talking about job creation but doing many things about it.
Right here in central Vermont, adult students at Goddard College in Plainfield who are in the masters in psychology and counseling or in the bachelors in education program have been benefiting from a Department of Labor initiative in supporting secondary and postsecondary internship programs. Our students are adults who are retooling or upgrading their job skills. The Department of Labor is helping this process by giving stipends to qualifying Vermont students while they are doing their counseling internships so they can offset real expenses involved in retooling including clothes, food, transportation and child care.
These student internships also benefit Vermont agencies and schools as well as being learning experiences, a win-win situation. They are learning experiences with rigorous supervision. Since these students are going into debt to further their careers and are often juggling jobs and families as well, it is a pleasure to see the state giving some aid to this process.

Just as the economy began to dip further into recession and traditional funding sources were slashing their giving, Guma Aguiar appeared on the scene. The self-made businessman who divides his time between New York, South Florida, and Jerusalem has emerged as a new — and significant— force in Jewish philanthropy. He made headlines when he donated $8 million to Nefesh B'Nefesh, which promotes North American aliyah. Other big gifts include half a million to March of the Living and another $500,000 to sponsor worldwide Passover sederim through Chabad.
Born a Jew in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Aguiar and his family moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and converted to Christianity in his childhood years. When he was 26, he called up Tuvia Singer. "I heard he was focusing on helping get Jews out of the church," he says. "At the time, I thought that was a terrible thing to do." Singer proceeded to dismantle Aguiar's arguments. "I just found the truth," Aguiar says of the experience, adding that he lives near Singer in the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem and that the two remain close friends.
"I was never exposed to the truth," he says. "I was reading Bibles, but the words were mistranslated and verses were taken out of context. It's like someone asking me to put together a puzzle, but they've given me pieces from three different puzzles. It's not going to happen."
Aguiar's company, Leor Energy, made one of the largest discoveries of natural gas in the last decade at a location a few hours away from Houston, Texas. He sold the company in November 2008, and has since focused his efforts on giving back. "I'm just trying to bring awareness and educate people about their own heritage," he says.
He now spends most of his time focused on his philanthropic efforts and on learning more about Judaism. "I affiliate with the Orthodox, but not any particular stream of Orthodoxy," he says. "I love all Jews — Ethiopian, Yemenite, all of humanity."
Top form: As a teenager, Aguiar was one of the top tennis players in Florida. ("And Florida is a very competitive state when it comes to tennis," he says. "It's not like being No. 2 in Idaho.") Salon Aguiar: Aguiar's house in Yemin Moshe, Jerusalem, is a gathering point of intellectual life, where professors, rabbis, artists, Knesset members, and others gather.

Nice costume. It was very well made and was a great value. My only complaint would be the gold leaf head piece isn't made so that it looks like it does in the picture. My husband took it apart & ended up using double stick tape & one of my headbands in order to be able to wear it properly. Overall, I would recommend this costume.

Authors: Al Dunning and Benny Guitron with Deanna Lally
Photography by Robert Dawson
the ultimate in finesse and control. Time-tested practices passed from generation to
generation go into the making of a bridle horse, and hackamore training is an important
step in the process. To understand the hackamore and its use is to understand its history,
origin, and development, as well as the use of such equipment as the bosal, mecate, and more.
No two men are more qualified to provide fresh insight into hackamore skills than Al Dunning
and Benny Guitron, who, as young men, learned hackamore horsemanship from the masters.
These two multiple world champions have claimed numerous titles in American Quarter
Horse Association, National Reined Cow Horse Association, and National Cutting Horse
Association competition.
In The Art of Hackamore Training, Dunning and Guitron, with the help of award-winning
Western photographer Robert Dawson and writer Deanna Lally, explain how to develop
the hackamore horse, from groundwork and key points under saddle to advanced horsemanship
maneuvers and cattle work. To Dunning and Guitron, guiding a young stock horse through
hackamore training means not only mastering such skills, but also executing them with such
proficiency that horse and rider seem to be of one mind.
With more than 150 color photographs, this book is visually stunning and destined to
become a classic in the mold of Hackamore Reinsman and Reinsman Of The West,
by legendary horseman Ed Connell.

There is an actual real-world cost behind Bitcoins
In order to make "new" bitcoins, they have to be mined. Mined, in this case, means a powerful computer has to solve an incredibly complex equation. The only point to this is to slow down the speed at which new bitcoins can enter the market. But that mining has a cost: processor power and electricity. Virtual Bitcoin Mining Is a Real-World Environmental Disaster - Bloomberg
Before Bitcoins can be traded, though, they need to be created. That's where "mining" comes in. Mining is a process in which powerful computers create Bitcoins by solving processor-intensive equations. The idea is to keep the supply of Bitcoins from multiplying too quickly. Bitcoin mining, like mining of precious metals, is supposed to be arduous. By design, the more miners there are, the more processing power is required to mint new coins. Most people aren't used to thinking in terms of the energy it takes to solve math problems; a few minutes of Excel may not take much energy. But make the problems complicated enough, and things change. "Mining" Bitcoins takes so much processor power that it's often done with specialized computers optimized for rapid repetitive calculations. So how much power can that take? Blockchain.info, a site that tracks data on Bitcoin mining, estimates that in just the last 24 hours, miners used about $147,000 of electricity just to run their hardware, assuming an average price of 15 cents per kilowatt hour (a little higher than the U.S. average, lower than some high cost areas like California). That, of course, is in addition to the money devoted to buying and building the mining rigs. The site estimates the profits from the day of mining at about $681,000, based on the current value of Bitcoins. So mining, at least for the moment, is a lucrative business. More from Mark Gimein: The trade-off here is that as virtual value is created, real-world value is used up. About 982 megawatt hours a day, to be exact. That's enough to power roughly 31,000 U.S. homes, or about half a Large Hadron Collider. If the dreams of Bitcoin proponents are realized, and the currency is adopted for widespread commerce, the power demands of bitcoin mines would rise dramatically.

You can do it with fdisk, from a live CD, if you know where the partitions
were. It's probably a bit late, for you, at this point, but one of the
first things I do after partitioning a hard drive is run;
# fdisk -l > /home/me/partitions.txt
I then print partitions.txt, and put it in a three ring binder, with other
things I might need, but won't otherwise have available until I can boot
my machine normally again. I've had partition tables get corrupted, but
never failed to repair the damage with fdisk.
