Connecting flightSep 26, 20161Flying from LHR with United Airlines to EWR via IAD with a 2 hour layover in IAD. Will I need to collect my baggage before going through security and connecting on the next flight, or will the baggage be transferred to the connecting flight? Also, how far are the connecting terminals?Camp8Mon, Sep 26Yes, at IAD You will arrive in the C/D concourse, go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, re-check your bags at the re-check desk, then go through security and to your departure gate, likely also in the C/D Concourse, so everything will take place there. There's a slight chance your flight to Newark will depart from Concourse A, which is a short ride on the AeroTrain away.ZAPMon, Sep 26
IADSep 26, 20162San Antonio, TX, US (SAT) to Washington, DC, US (IAD - Dulles) 4:35 pm - 8:47 pm (3h 12m) with a layover of 1hr18mins to connecting UNITED flight to Frankfurt? Is that enough time? How bad is Dulles during the winter? Sorry for the dumb questionsjk17Sun, Sep 25Yes, that is enough time. You just have to go from your arrival gate to your departure gate which should both be on the C/D concourse. The weather in Washington DC during the winter is usually good and Dulles is not a congested airport, so it is only affected by the weather when it's exceptionally bad.ZAPSun, Sep 25
transfer from international to domestic on non-linked ticketsSep 25, 20161My mom is arriving from Moscow to IAD with one checked bag via Aeroflot. She then should travel to St. Louis via United. The layover is about 8 hours. Could someone describe how the process of transfer btw. international and domestic should work? The more details, the better - I will be calling and explaining them to her - she does not speak English. Based on the Dulles Map I assume she arrives to International Arrivals Building first and she passes the immigration, then customs, then she should pick her checked bag at baggage claim while still being in int. arrivals building. Which terminal she should move to get on United flight? How? Shuttle, walkway or train? Google says gate is A6 so is it terminal A then? We appreciate your responses!***Sun, Sep 25She will arrive and be transported to the International Arrivals Building, then go through US Immigration, claim her bags, and go through US Customs, then she will go to the main terminal departures level and check her bags with United. She will then go through security and then to her departure gate, which could be on A, C, or D. There are signs to all departure gates once you get through security.ZAPSun, Sep 25

Healthcare worker tax rebate guide
Healthcare professionals from both the NHS and private sector can claim a healthcare worker tax rebate. We'll help you get yours.
There are a number of reasons why you could claim a healthcare worker tax rebate − from washing your own uniform to using your own car. You can make a claim to cover the last four tax years, and you should pay less tax in the future too. It doesn't matter what your job title is we've helped Nurses, Domestics, Doctors, Midwives – the list is endless.
Our free healthcare worker tax rebate guide will help you find out what you are entitled to and how to claim it back.
Healthcare workers – What you can claim for…
We've listed below some of the most common expenses that workers within the health industry can claim a tax rebate for.
Rebate for professional fees
HMRC allows tax relief to be reclaimed on the cost of most professional bodies and some Unions, for example a nurse can make a claim for NMC fees or UNISON tax relief.
Uniform tax
If you need to wash your own work uniform, and the NHS or other employer doesn't reimburse you or offer laundry facilities, you should be eligible to claim.
The current uniform washing allowance for healthcare workers is worth £125 each tax year.
Rebate for the cost of shoes and tights
Tax relief is available for many healthcare workers who buy shoes and tights for work use, and aren't reimbursed by their employer.
The current allowances are £6 for tights and £12 for shoes per tax year.
Tax relief for car use and business mileage
You can claim tax relief if you need to use your own car − for example to visit patients in the community. You can't claim for normal commuting to your permanent place of work.
You need to produce records of journeys, dates and mileages to make a successful claim for your full entitlement. If you don't have these records, Tax Rebate Services has a high success rate in securing a business mileage tax rebate through negotiation with HMRC.
Tax relief for assets or equipment
This tax relief covers items that have to be bought to enhance the performance of your employment duties, and must not have been provided by your employer. Examples could be a lap-top or office desk.
This type of claim is made under the capital allowances rulings. If the purchase has a lifespan of more than two years, it will generally be allowed for tax relief by HMRC, but you'll need a receipt or other proof of purchase. The time limit for making a claim depends on whether you've completed a self assessment tax return.
Healthcare worker tax rebate example
Mr Taylor contacted us online to find out he was owed any tax relief on his work related expenses as an NHS Doctor. After a quick review we made a claim for tax relief on his British Medical Association fees for the last three tax years achieving a £547 tax rebate. We are going to help Mr Taylor claim for his General Medical Council fees and for a Stethoscope next year!
"I will be recommending your company to all my colleagues at the Hospital."
Mr Taylor, Hospital Doctor, Glasgow, Received a £547 BMA tax rebate
Widening Access Training Scheme
If you worked under the widening access training scheme from 1999 you could be owed a tax and national insurance refund. It applies to thousands of NHS staff including Doctors, Nurses and healthcare workers. Put simply the scheme allowed for some tax and national insurance exemptions which the vast majority of NHS staff have no idea exist. You can find out more about this in our WAT scheme tax rebate guide.
How to claim your Healthcare worker tax rebate
Tax Rebate Services specialises in helping healthcare workers from both the NHS and private sector to claim back tax relief on their expenses. For over 15 years our team of qualified accountants are always on hand to help and make the process easy for you.

£208 tax rebate
"Just the type of company I like to deal with. No hard sell, just the facts and an offer of your service. It's been a pleasure from start to finish, and I got a refund of over two hundred pounds."

This is a remix of the Fifth Assessment Report (IPCC AR5), the most comprehensive report on climate change ever produced.The report is dense. Stacked it is about half a meter tall. Its convincing conclusions sometimes come with potentially frightening consequences.
In Guide to Global Weirding used daily data from climate simulations. We have trawled a thousand pages looking for regional impacts. We have processed a 160.000 line spreadsheet with data from economic models reacting to future political plans to limit greenhouse gas emissions. All this has been compressed to a short presentation that we hope anyone can understand and take in.
We try to show what our future might look like if we take the IPCC AR5 Report and its conclusions seriously. And what it will take to get to a future in which we avoid dangerous climate change. On to this rad visualization!

Today in Brussels the European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) presented a comprehensive Strategic Rail
Research Agenda (SRRA), which identifies key scientific and technological priorities for both passenger and freight rail
transport over the next 20 years. ERRAC was created one year ago in Cologne, initiated by European Research
Commissioner Philippe Busquin. It is the first time that a long-term plan for rail research and technological development
has been jointly devised and endorsed by all interested parties. The Strategic Agenda addresses challenges such as
better service quality, intelligent mobility, enhanced productivity and interoperability. By 2020 the rail sector should be
handling twice the present freight and passenger market share and three times the current freight and passenger
Research centres, universities and enterprises
are invited to respond to the first batch of calls for proposals,
representing a total first budgetary allocation of 5 billion. Most
of these funds (3.4 billion) will go to the seven priorities of
the Sixth Framework programme. Some 70% of this sum will focus on
new funding schemes such as Networks of Excellence and Integrated
Projects, and at least 15% overall will go to small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs).
In an article published in the latest issue of
The Lancet , an international consortium, funded by a €1.8
million research grant from the European Commission, reports successful
efficacy trials of a new candidate drug against malaria. If these
initial results are confirmed a new drug could be available within
3 years.
The EU Descartes Prize was awarded today to two
research projects in the fields of medicine and astrophysics. One
project greatly advanced our understanding of Multiple Sclerosis
and is offering leads for new drugs. The other project has discovered
the origins of Gamma Ray Bursts and is providing insights into star
and planet formation.
The EU Archimedes Prize - the EU's science prize
for undergraduate students - was awarded today, December 5, in Munich
to 20 projects carried out by young European scientists. The winners
come from Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Poland,
Romania, Slovenia, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The EU Archimedes
Prize gives public recognition to the research achievements of Europe's
undergraduates and aims to stimulate the interest of young people
in science and research. Laureates receive monetary awards of between
44,000 and 34,000 which are to be used to help kick-start their
scientific careers.
On 4 December the Commission published
two calls for experts to assist it in evaluating and selecting proposals
for research projects to be funded within the Sixth EU Research
Framework Programme (FP6 2002-2006). Under FP6, proposals will continue
to be evaluated and selected for funding with the help of independent
external scientists. This peer review system will be further streamlined
to ensure the procedure is even more transparent and efficient.
Within the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5 1998-2002) the Commissions
database containing over 35,000 experts was used to select some
10, 000 experts to assess 60,000 proposals.
European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin today inaugurated the European network of genetically modified organism (GMO) laboratories at a launch in Brussels. This new network consists of more than 45 control laboratories located in EU Member States. The objective is to improve traceability of GMOs in the food chain and to support regulation of their use in Europe. The network will develop and validate methods for detecting and quantifying GMOs in food and feed. Activities will be co-ordinated by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.
UNICE today organised at the Conference "Research

On Monday in Brussels European Research Commissioner
Philippe Busquin and Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt opened
the biggest conference on EU research ever to be organised in Europe.
Enterprise and Information Society Commissioner Erkki Liikanen will
also participate. The three-day event will attract more than 8,000
participants and 200 speakers, including a line-up of 20 ministers,
3 Nobel laureates and scores of business leaders. It will mark the
launch of the new EU Research Framework Programme (FP6 2003-2006),
preceding the first calls for proposals to be published in the next
few weeks.
As part of the "European Science and Technology
Week" (4-10 November 2002) 2,7 million campaign, EU Research Commissioner
Philippe Busquin today opened the SMART ("Society Moves with Advanced
Research Technology") exhibition in Brussels. The travelling SMART
exhibition is housed in two especially designed mobile trailers

Today the European Commission launched a project
to create a network of major radioactive waste management organisations
across Europe. This project aims to improve the co-operation on
research for disposal of radioactive waste. The project is of significance
as it will see seven EU Member States (Belgium, Finland, France,
Germany, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and Switzerland working
collaboratively in the Net.Excel network. As a result, the participants
will enhance the quality of research, and be able to make more efficient
and co-ordinated decisions in the field of radioactive waste management.
Vandaag heeft de Europese Commissie een project
gelanceerd dat tot doel heeft een netwerk tot stand te brengen van
alle belangrijke organisaties voor het beheer van radioactieve afvalstoffen
in Europa. Dit project is gericht op een verbetering van de coördinatie
van het onderzoek inzake de opberging van dergelijke afvalstoffen.
Het project is belangrijk omdat daardoor zeven EU-lidstaten (België,
Finland, Frankrijk, Duitsland, Spanje, Zweden en het Verenigd Koninkrijk)
en Zwitserland zullen gaan samenwerken in het Net.Excel-netwerk.
Dit zal resulteren in een verbetering van de kwaliteit van het onderzoek
van de deelnemers en zal het voor die laatste mogelijk maken efficiëntere
en beter gecoördineerde beslissingen te nemen voor het beheer van
radioactieve afvalstoffen.
On 29 October 2002 the European Commission and Candidate Countries (CCs) are signing an association agreement for the 6th EU Research Framework Programme (FP6 2002-2006).

The ozone layer is thinning and we do not yet know
to what extent future ozone losses will be affected by climate change,
or what impact this will have on human health. For this reason,
the European Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin today welcomed
the start of the first phase of the VINTERSOL (Validation of International
Satellites and Study of Ozone Loss) campaign, composed of national
and EU projects. VINTERSOL will be closely co-ordinated with the
SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE II), a US NASA
(National Aeronautics and Space Administration) sponsored campaign.
From 11 to 13 November 2002, EU Research Commissioner
Philippe Busquin will host a major conference in Brussels to launch
the EU's 6th Research Framework Programme (FP6 2003-2006), worth
17.5 billion. Over 6000 participants, including Nobel Prize laureates
and top representatives from research, academia, business and public
service, will gather to discuss how to maximise FP6 and turn it
into a driving force for growth and competitiveness. FP6 is a key
part of the EU's strategy to create a true European Research Area,
an Internal Market for science and knowledge. FP6 is set to play
an instrumental part in the March 2002 Barcelona European Council's
target to raise average EU research spending to 3% of European GDP.

Are European forests, soil and
grass the dustbins for carbon dioxide (CO2)? On 18 October 2002
the European Commission will present the CarboEurope research initiative
in Valencia (Spain). It is a cluster of 15 research projects supported
by the European Commission with a budget of 25 Million. The project
brings together around 160 research institutions from over 20 countries.
It looks at whether the biosphere, and above all forests, can reduce
the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the principal
cause of climate warming.
Philippe Busquin, the European Research Commissioner today put
forward suggestions for promoting the European Research Area initiative.
The communication entitled "Providing new momentum for the European
Research Area" suggests that the mechanisms for coordinating national
research policies should be strengthened and made more efficient.
To this end, it proposes that common objectives should be determined
and translated into specific objectives for each country and that
annual national reports should be drawn up. This mechanism would
be implemented by high-level representatives of the Member States.

desempenho dos mecanismos de coordenação das políticas
de investigação nacionais. A comunicação
propõe, para esse efeito, a determinação de
objectivos comuns, a sua tradução em objectivos específicos
para cada país e a elaboração de relatórios
nacionais anuais. Este mecanismo seria implementado por representantes
de alto nível dos Estados-Membros. Trata-se-ia também
de promover um maior recurso às medidas jurídicas,
por exemplo em matéria de mobilidade dos investigadores.
Europees Commissaris belast met onderzoek Philippe
Busquin heeft vandaag suggesties gepresenteerd om het project Europese
Onderzoeksruimte te bevorderen. In de mededeling Europese Onderzoeksruimte:
een nieuw elan wordt gesuggereerd de mechanismen voor de coödinatie
van nationaal onderzoeksbeleid te versterken en beter presterend
te maken. Daartoe wordt in de mededeling voorgesteld gemeenschappelijke
doelstellingen te bepalen, deze te vertalen in bijzondere doelstellingen
voor elk land, en jaarlijkse nationale rapporten op te stellen.
Dit mechanisme zou ten uitvoer worden gelegd door vertegenwoordigers
van hoog niveau uit de lidstaten. Het zou er ook om gaan meer een
beroep te doen op wettelijke maatregelen, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied
van de mobiliteit van onderzoekers.
The changing attitude of European society to research in food and
agriculture demands that researchers pay more attention to the concerns
of the public and other stakeholders. The Euragri conference entitled
"Science for Society - Science with Society", organised in association
with the European Commission, examined these issues and proposed
new goals, new roles and new rules to enable European research for
food and agriculture to respond to the needs and concerns of society.
On 29 October 2002 the European Commission is
organising an informal meeting ?Candidate Countries in the Sixth
Framework Programme? to discuss with representatives of these
countries their further integration in the European Research Area
and especially possibilities offered by the Sixth Framework Programme.

Described as "a new industrial revolution", nanotechnologies are at the keen edge of sustainable production in Europe. Already fuelling a broad spectrum of applications in industries as diverse as information technologies, automotive, cosmetics, chemical and transport, they deliver cleaner, safer, more competitive production processes, as well as smarter, more durable and more user-friendly products. Nanotechnologies and nanomanufacturing thus provide innovative answers to the triple challenge of sustainable development: how to fuel economic growth, while preserving the environment, and at the same time enhance the safety, security and quality of life of European citizens.

In support of European Mobility Week and the Car Free Day, on Sunday, 22nd September 2002, EU Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin is organising a ride across Brussels in a prototype fuel cell bus. The bus runs on hydrogen and oxygen; the only emission discharged from the exhaust pipe is pure water vapour. Pressurised hydrogen gas is stored in fiberglass-reinforced aluminium cylinders mounted in the roof of the vehicle. The bus generates power comparable to a conventional diesel engine, but causes less pollution, is less noisy and can carry more passengers. The prototype will be developed further thanks to EU-funded research. Journalists are welcome to participate in the press conference at 14.00 hrs. and in the fuel cell bus tour at 14.30 hrs. (departure in front of La Bourse, Brussels).

The Commission yesterday presented its strategy to respond to the
March 2002 Barcelona European Council's call to raise research spending
to 3% of EU average Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Today Europe lags
at 1.9 %. The Communication "More research for Europe" looks into
Europe's under-investment in science and technology and its harmful
consequences for EU competitiveness, growth and employment. Research
and development (R&D) investment (private and public) in the US
now exceeds EU expenditure by more than €120 billion every
year. Without prompt action, this knowledge gap will hamper Europe's
innovative potential and its capacity to become the most competitive
and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010, a goal
set by the Lisbon European Council in March 2000.
On 27 September in Vienna, Commission's Director Rainer Gerold and two Austrian Ministers - Mr. M. Bartenstein for Economic Affaires and Labour and Ms. E. Gehrer for Education, Science, and Culture - will handout the prizes to the winners of the 14th EU Contest for Young Scientists, which is the annual showcase of the best of European student scientific achievement. During one week 85 young scientists (aged 15-20) from more than 30 European countries, the United States, China, Japan and Korea will compete. In Vienna the Commission will also celebrate the 1000th participant of the Contest's history.
As a contribution to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg, 26 August - 4 September 2002), the European Commission will sponsor and co-chair together with South African authorities a conference on Science and Technology. The event is planned to demonstrate that research is a powerful instrument for fostering capacity building in developing countries and strengthening partnerships with Europeans. The initiative, resulting from discussions between EU Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin and Minister Ngubane of South Africa, is strongly supported by the European and international scientific communities and policy makers.
The European Commission has proposed to support a long-term partnership
between Europe and developing countries by providing € 200
million for the development of new medicines and vaccines against
HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. This European and Developing
Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) brings together EU
Member States plus Norway, developing countries and industry in
a joint effort to combat poverty-linked diseases.
Philippe Busquin, Europe's Commissioner for Research, said "I welcome the growing interest in the Descartes Prize. We will continue our efforts to better promote the award. In Europe, we need more research with our best scientists from different countries working together. The Descartes Prize is intended to reward the best European scientists and to publicise how European co-operation advances science to help meet citizens' concerns."
Cutting CO2 emissions by 50%, reducing the number of accidents by a factor of five, halving aircraft noise, and providing near perfect punctuality (with 99% of all EU flights landing and departing within 15 minutes of schedule) - these are among the breakthrough objectives of a new Strategic Research Agenda for the EU aeronautics industry announced today at the Farnborough International Airshow.
"Parforce" an EU-funded research project has discovered a new link between marine algae and climate change. Researchers working on the project found out that iodine vapours, released from algae or plankton, condense over oceans to form aerosols.
Today in Brussels EU Research Commissioner Philippe Busquin and the Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), Mr. Antonio Rodotଠofficially opened a large stakeholder consultation process aiming to define European needs to enhance satellite-based global monitoring for the environment and security (GMES). Satellites can help the EU monitor climate change, address international crises and contain natural disasters.
The relationship between science and the media is not always easy. Scientists complain that the press oversimplifies complex issues and sometimes writes about scientific matters with distrust and fear. Journalists point their finger to re-searchers' alleged lack of communication skills and will. To help bridge this gap, on July 9, 2002, the Commission organised, under the auspices of the European Life Sciences Group (EGLS), a meeting between scientists and media profession-als.
"Reduction, Replacement and Refinement" - the "Three Rs" - are the basic tenets of EU research and other policies concerning the use of animals in scientific testing and experimentation. To assess the latest scientific advances to reduce animal use, to discuss forthcoming research priorities and ways to better develop research at the EU level, the Commission has organised a conference in Brussels on 9-10 July.
To provide deciders, politicians and scientists and public opinion with greater perspective in their search for answers to questions at the interface between bioscience and society: this is the objective of the "Science Generation" project presented today in Brussels by European Commissioner for Research Philippe Busquin.

I really am satisfy with dr . Bondade office
Office staff is always backed up but the bottom line is he is a great doctor who finds what other doctors can't
Dr. Bondade is a Very unprofessional doctor, who loves to play play games with his patients. He is also a non-narcotic prescribing doctor, doesnt even matter if your missing a leg he will not prescribe any narcotic medication, what ever the circumstances. Plus he loves to play games. take me for example I needed him to call in a medication that he has before. So I called he s nurse in the morning and she said she'll ask the doctor and let me know. Well lunch rolls around and no answer so I call her back and she says "Well I told him, and she said she ll ask him again. will the end of the day is coming up and I called back yet again and the nurse says she has told him again but has done NOTHING STILL. SO Im trying to be patient and wait for the next day and call the pharmacy and guess what NOTHING was called in. No call to me telling me either way a yes or a no. All Dr. Bondade had to do was give me 5 seconds to give me an answer. Yes or NO. So bottom line if your looking for a doctor, Dr. Bondade is NOT the one you wanna go with in less you want a severe run around and waste a bunch of time and not be taking seriously. Bedside manner also leaves a lot and I do mean a lot to be desired. P.S. You can do A LOT better than Doctor Bondade, Don't get caught up in this Train wreck
I highly recommend Dr. Bondade to anyone who needs a doctor that listens and diagnose the problem properly. He is very caring and he takes time in his examinations. He is soft spoken and very respectful. He is very very helpful. I will never forget the time when I didn't have any insurance; he would let me come in and visit with him, and he would give me free stuff to take care of my asthma. Now that we have insurance, there is no one else we would rather see. Thank you Dr. Bondade for you love, compassion and favorable consideration.
Great MD and wonderful person
I've been seeing Dr. Bondade for many years and have found him and his office staff very courteous, knowledgeable and concerned with patient's welfare. They treat you like family! I would not consider another physician. He seems more interested in taking care of his patients than most doctors.
Nice courteous office.Doctor takes time explains condition and listens to my concerns. Have referred my family and friends.
Bondade is a good doctor. Listens to the patient carefully and will do necessary tests only...
Had been with the doctor for over 20 years. Always available and helpful.Good staff.
I suffered from 2 conditions (congestive heart failure & PBH) for over 5 years. First, he missed the congestive heart failure even though classic symptoms were present. He prefers to prescribe pills as opposed to referring to specialist. The missed diagnosis cost me a tremendous amount of pain and suffering, a triple bypass, and it cost my insurance company $47,000 and counting.
Dr. Bondade is conscientious with his patience care. He goes the extra mile to resolve medical issues with care, determination, and compasion. I am grateful to the person that recommended Dr. Bondade to me years ago.

Hon. Geert Wilders, MP and popular leader of the Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands goes on trial on January 20th in Amsterdam. Read our NER interview with him, here. He is being tried on what many believe are trumped up charges of criminalizing hate speech and now racism. All because Wilders has exercised his free speech – criticizing Islam and suggesting a ban on immigration of Muslims. Those charges couldn't be brought in a US court of law because of our First Amendment guarantees of free speech include the ability to criticize a religion. But not in Holland where a contrived case brought by a cabal of leftists and Dutch Muslims won an Amsterdam Appeals court decision.
What this amounts to is a political trial of Wilders, a highly popular Dutch political figure because of his populist stands including such issues as banning burkas and fining Muslim women who don such Sharia compliant attire in public, as well as banning Muslim immigration to the Netherlands. Make no mistake about it, the trial is a thinly disguised attempt to convict and imprison Wilders on Islamic Sharia compliant charges of blasphemy. If he is convicted, it would likely deny him the ability to form a ruling coalition in the Netherlands should the popular Freedom Party become the leading party in the next general elections scheduled for 2011.
The absurdity of this Amsterdam show trial of Wilders – the equivalent of the infamous Dreyfus trial that roiled France in the late 19th and early 20th Century - was reflected in the actions of the Amsterdam Court yesterday. Radio Netherlands reported, "Geert Wilders hate speech charges widened."
The charges against far-right MP Geert Wilders have been extended to include inciting hatred towards Moroccans and non-Western ethnic minorities, de Volksrant newspaper reports.
Up to now the Freedom Party leader has been charged with inciting hatred against Muslims through his remarks in the media and his anti-Islam film Fitna. Mr. Wilders has compared the Qur'an to Hitler's Mein Kampf, and called for it to be banned.
However, the public prosecutor's office has now decided to widen the charges, based in part on Mr. Wilders response in a 2006 interview when asked what he would do if he came to power in the Netherlands: "The same day the borders would be closed to all non-Western immigrants." Mr. Wilders has also expressed this view in parliament.
The decision to widen the charges is striking because initially the public prosecutor's office decided that Mr. Wilders had no case to answer. It only went ahead with the prosecution when an Amsterdam court ruled last year that Mr. Wilders should indeed face charges of insulting Muslims as a group and inciting hatred and discrimination towards them.
The public prosecutor's office has not commented on the reasons behind its decision to widen the charges. A spokesperson told de Volkskrant that the motivation would be explained during the initial hearing in the case, set for 20 January.
Mr. Wilders argues that his criticism has always been directed against Islam as a religion, and not against Muslims. He attended the hearing in person although his Mr. Moszkowicz said he did not enter the court by the main entrance due to the death threats which have been made against him.
At the end of the hearing the court threw out Geert Wilders' objections to the charges and the trial will now go ahead as planned next week. Wilders again said he considers the prosecution to be politically motivated, he said there was more justice in North Korea.
The political conspiracy against Wilders cries out for justice – the quick dismissal of the Amsterdam court of these absurdly surrealistic charges.
Here's how you can put the Dutch government and courts on notice about the travesty of Wilders trial that begins on January 20th. You can send email, letters and faxes to the Embassies and Consular legations in your respective countries expressing your objections to this political show trial and support for dismissal of all charges against Wilders. Here is a link to the email addresses of Dutch Embassies and Consular legations around the world.
- We note that Holland has always been a staunch ally of the West in its protection of Free Speech, now however; it seems that the old traditions have been abolished
- We abhor the decision of the Dutch Government and Justice Minister E.M.H. Hirsch Ballin to prosecute Hon Geert Wilders for hate speech on January 20 2010
- We urge the Government to immediately drop all charges and FREE GEERT WILDERS.
Your opinions in this matter count. Support Wilders and you support free speech in Holland and in the World.

To the Dutch Court:
Mr. Wilders is exercising his GOD GIVEN RIGHT to FREE SPEECH, just as the Muslims do when they spew their hatred in their mosques and throughout their publications. The Citizens of the United States - NOT THE UNLAWFUL PRESIDENT OBAMA THAT BOWS TO OTHER LEADERS - is behind Mr. Wilders, and we shall begin a boycott of all things Dutch-related until he is free!

I did not think for a moment that my protest the the Dutch embassy on behalf of Gert Wilders would go anywhere but the nearest wastebasket. I did however write and ask that if going against the opinion of the government of the day and not according certain segments of the population the treatment the government wished to accord them why they chose to discriminate against some members of society and not others.I am referring to Miep Gies who died this week who should have been prosecuted for refusing to do her civic duty as demanded by the government in power at the time. That this woman should be eulogised for risking reprisals on her innocent fellow citizens should to your government be the ultimate insult. It is of course quite understandable since you god verdomde kaaskoppe have long since forgotten why my fellow Canadians ever bothered to come to Holland in 1945.

The world's freedoms are under assault by powers that vie for control. One of these "powers" is Islam and their intent is to undermine individual's rights and make everyone submit to them or be killed so they can rule. Remember the NAZI's, which began with Hitler's "Greens" and the tyranny of Mao, and Stalin. That is what is happening today, in the name of Islam.
Political correctness is in place to destroy the individual's liberty. Wake up!

Dear Mr. Wilder,
As you know it takes great courage to stand up for your way of life, it's not the easy road. How soon we forget history... It is only in the west that these considerations are given! Many of my Christian missionary friends are kept silent about there beliefs, and forced underground. We are forced to comply with their culture when in Muslim lands. To expecting the same is not unreasonable. The people that are supporters of open borders are the people that will lose the most, as the population shifts... As voting power shifts to the Muslim majority, there will be no freedom as we know it, today. I do not want to be an alarmist, but a couple decades down the road, Shari a Law, will be the norm... For example same sex rights will disappear. The courts in your country obviously are not set up to defend its people, and may require change. So thank you for your courage, I wish you the best in your struggle..

Ali Mallhi
(The Holy Quran In Trial) TO,
Geert Wilders---Petitioner
According to the Islamic belief the Holy Quran is a Divine Book. It contains the words of God Almighty revealede at His last Prophet Muhammad. The verses of the Holy Quran were revealed on the happiness of particular events and its each and every vers has a connention of its own and on different and seprate background.
It is stated that that as the Holy Quran is the words of God and the Laws of God for humen-beings , no earthly power can sit upon judgment on it and no Court of Law has jurisdiction to adjudicate it.The Holy Books like the Quran, Bible, Torah, Psalm and even Geeta and Granth Sahib ete……., or their translations cannot be the subject-matters of adjudication in any Court of law. All Holy Scriptures are immune from Judicial Secrutiny.
In accordance with the Encyclopedia Britannica at page 444 and 445, the Holy Quran is a basic text. This cannot be made justiciable in any Court of Law. The challenge of the Petitioner amounts to not only an insult to the Muslim Religion as such but against all other Religions also.
The Holy Quran is the sacred scripture of religion of Islam. It is the book in the Arabic language containing about 80,000 words. It is coposed of 114 chapters (surahs) of varying size. The first chapter, entitled "The Opening" is the form of a short devotional prayer ; it is constantly so used,ceremonially and otherwise, and by copmarativists has been called " The Lord's Prayer of the Muslims". It is addressed to God. The remainder of the Holy Quran is in the form of an address from God; He either speaking Himself, sometimes in the first person,or else through the imperative UL, "Say" which introduces many verses and passages and some surahs, ordering that the words that follow be proclaimed. The subject matter is varied; passages of one or several verses, or of an entire surah, deal in diverse ways with many topics. It speaks about Oneness and Omniscience and Supreme Majesty of God. The style at time fiery, is powerful, the general tone deeply moralist and theocentric; the whole reverberates with a passionate demand for obedience to the will of a transcendent but near and mightly active God.
In the faith of Muslims, and according to the theory propounded in the book itself, the Holy Quran is revealed word of God. This postulates God, and indeeded the kind of God who has something to say to us and who takes the initiative in saying it.Religion in this view is not a human searching after God; it is God who acts, is known because and insofar as, and only as, He chooses to disclose Himself.
In the Muslim view, God created the Universe; ordaining it's processes and controlling them. He prescribed a pattern or order, which must obey. For man also, He obtained a pattern of behaviour, but unlike the rest of the Natural World, man was made conscious and free, to choose weather or not he will confirm to God's decrees. There is for mankind a right way to live; these are the Holy Books that seek to make this know.
For Muslims, the Holy Quran is the ' ipsissima verba' of God himself. It is God speaking to man not merely in 7th century, Arabia to Muhammad but from all eternity to every man through-out the world including the individual Muslim as he reads it or devoutly holds it. It is eternal breaking through into time, the unknowable disclosed, the transcendent entering history and remaining here, available to mortals to handle and to appropriate, the divine become apparent. To memorise it, as many Muslims have ceremonially done, and perhaps even to quote from it, as every muslim does daily in his formal prayers and otherwise, is to enter into some sorts of communion with ultimate reality.
As pointed out in Hallsbury 4th Ed. Vol 18 on " Foreign Relations Law," right of freedom of thought, conscience and religion includes freedom, alone or with or in community with others, and in public and private, to manifest religion or belief in worship, teaching, ptactice and observance. In my opinion, the action proposed will deprive a class of persons of their humen rights.
There is an other aspect of the matter. The sacred book of the Holy Quran has been in existence for a number of years with it's different interpretations and translations. Up to now no one has choosen to challenge the same.
There is no question of forfeiture or banning of the said book on the grounds of disharmony or feelings of enmity or hatred or ill-will different religions and communities. This book is not prejudicial to the maintenance of hormony between different religions, nations and states because of the Holy Quran no bublic tranquility has been disturbed up to now and there is no reason apprehend any likehood of such disturbance in future.
Similarly, in my opinion, it may be said by that petition, the petitioner insult or attempt to insult the Religion of Islam and the religious belief of the Muslims on the Holy Book Quran.
So, I named, Ali MALLHI submit and publish this OPEN LETTER that this Hon'able Court of Amsterdam has no power trail the Holy Quran, nor jurisdiction to pronounce a Judgment on the Holy Quran, the Holy Scripture of the Muslims all over the world, each and every world of which, according to the Islamic belief, is unalterable. Court of mankind cannot sit in judgment on The Quran, The Bible, The Torah, The Pslam, The Geeta, The Granth Sahib, etc……..

If you're a dedicated Top 20 subscriber, over the years you've probably seen that some international vacations or cruises require U.S. residents to get a visitor visa before arrival and others don't require anything for entry from U.S. visitors.
When planning a trip, be sure to do your research on each country's specific requirements and fees (usually nominal) before booking so there are no surprises later. And for people going somewhere exotic, the State Department has created a visa wait times calculator to help tourists plan their trips.
As part of the Visa Waiver Program, there are currently 38 countries that allow qualifying U.S. residents to enter free of charge. Those countries are:
A note for cruisers: There's no need to worry about securing visas for each port of call. If you partake in a shore excursion through the ship or a licensed operator, visa fees are typically waived. Should any stop require it, the cruise line will notify travelers upon booking.
Go to the State Department's website for more information on visitor visas.

Matthew McConaughey's Brother Names Kids After BoozeLulu and Moxleys Mom
Matthew McConaughey's brother Rooster tells People magazine that Matthew is thrilled to have new daughter Vida join brother Levi. But the most interesting part of the interview was what Rooster named his own children. And I thought naming a baby after a piece of fruit was odd…
Rooster's son is Miller Lyte and his daughter is Margarita Olympia, named after Rooster's favorite beverages. I guess Levi and Vida got off easy. More on how excited Matthew is about his new addition per his brother here.

Before & After: 70s Drab to Industrial Chic Fab Kitchen
After!… when she decided to install a "thin brick" wall. The addition of this wall treatment was the perfect touch to give the space a very in-vogue industrial chic look, especially in combination with the stainless steel appliances, rubber flooring, darker wood cabinetry and open shelving. Here is the scoop on the project in general and the thin brick specifically, in Rebecca's own words: My home was a hot mess when I purchased it two years ago. It didn't have great "bones" and needed something to take it from 70s drab to 2K fab. We put in rubber flooring in the kitchen and warehouse flooring (with radiant heat) in the rest of the house, used thin brick for a couple of walls and furnished it with as many found and repurposed items as I could get my hands on. Just wanted to suggest 'Thin Brick' as an alternative to tile, paint and wallpaper. I used this on a couple of walls in my 1970's walk out and I absolutely love it! The company that I used is called McNear and the color I used is called 'Balmoral', I also like Vintage Brick Veneer, but there are many thin brick manufacturers to choose from. It's real brick sliced very thin, so it's light enough to install on any wall, internal or external. The cost for the brick I received from McNear was about $.83 per brick. It's easy to install directly onto your wall with mortar, grout and trowel. Here's a video showing how's it's done. They don't use spacers in this video, but if you want to be more precise, use spacers. Thanks, Rebecca!

Midrange scoring is one of the most overlooked aspects of the offensive game in the NBA. Players who hit shots from outside the paint and inside the three-point arc typically don't get as much credit as they should.
However, that's also the distance from which it's toughest to score. The distance makes shots more difficult than attempts from inside the paint, but there isn't the added incentive of an extra point to tempt shooters into firing away.
It takes a special type of offensive player to excel from midrange.
Rather than analyzing shooting forms and roles within the offense, I've turned to a new metric to determine the rating objectively.
