26) Turn the attention of the questioner towards a more important issue.
Sometime it is better to turn the attention of the questioner to a more important issue. Once a person asked the Messenger (sa) when the Day of Judgement would come. Instead of replying, the Prophet (sa) asked him: "What have you prepared for it?" The man said that he hadn't done much in terms of praying, fasting and charity, but he did love Allah (swt) and His Messenger (sa). The Messenger (sa) said: "You will be with whom you love." (Bukhari)
The question that the person asked was out of genuine curiosity, but the answer was neither revealed to the Messenger (sa), nor did he consider his preparation for it. So he turned the attention of the questioner towards a more important and pressing issue, i.e., his deeds.
If the teacher doesn't know the answer to a question, or thinks there are other more important things to be taught, s/he should not snub the student but rather divert him/her to what s/he thinks needs to be learnt first.
27) It doesn't matter, if you are a bit inconvenienced.
A Bedouin approached the Messenger (sa), while the latter was on a journey. The person took hold of the reins of the Prophet's (sa) camel and then said: "O Messenger of Allah! Inform me of what will draw me closer to paradise and take me away from (hell) fire." The Prophet (sa) said: "He has certainly been blessed or guided." The Messenger (sa) then addressed the person saying: "What did you say?" The person then repeated his question. The Messenger (sa) replied: "You should worship Allah (swt) and not ascribe any partners to Him. You should establish Salah, give Zakah and maintain good relationships with your kith and kin. You may now leave my camel." (An-Nasai)
Note: Even if you are in a hurry, give attention to the seekers of knowledge. A little inconvenience for the teacher may result in a huge benefit for the student.
28) Don't criticize directly.
Many a time, the Prophet (sa) would observe a person committing a wrong deed. He would immediately take action, but not necessarily point out the wrongdoer. He would stand and address the people saying that 'some people do so and so', so that the individual would not be embarrassed before everyone.
Not only does this method protect a student's self-esteem, it also teaches others about the incorrect action. At the same time, it strengthens the bond between the teacher and the student.
29) Use humour.
A person asked the Prophet (sa) to give him a camel, so that he may carry his goods on it. So the Messenger (sa) said to him: "I will give you the offspring of a she-camel." The man said: "O Messenger (sa)! What can I do with the offspring of a she-camel?" The Prophet (sa) replied: "Is it not so that camels only give birth to camels?" (Abu Dawood)
The Messenger (sa) used to joke and jest with his companions on certain occasions. However, he spoke nothing but the truth. His humor did not hurt, offend or insult anyone. The companions asked him: "O Messenger (sa)! You joke with us?" He replied: "I speak nothing but the truth." (Bukhari)
The Prophet (sa) used to teach many things through joking and humour. In the above Hadeeth, he teaches analytical thinking and deduction, at the same time lightening the atmosphere of the assembly. A classroom tends to get stuffy at times. A light hearted joke or anecdote blows away the clouds of stiffness and perks up the atmosphere.
30) Show interest in children's hobbies.
Abu Umayr (rtam) was a young boy who had a pet bird. The Messenger (sa) was aware of this fact. One day, the bird died. When the Prophet (sa) came to visit them, he saw that Abu Umayr was sad. So he asked: "What has happened to him?" The people of the house said: "His bird has died." The Prophet (sa) said to him: "O Abu Umayr! What has happened to the Nughayr (small bird)?" (Abu Dawood)
This shows the Messenger's (sa) affection and compassion for the young child, whose bird had died, leaving him heartbroken. Upon seeing the sad look on the child's face, the Prophet (sa) immediately enquired about the matter and consoled him with words of comfort. I would like to add here that the Messenger (sa) was an exceptionally busy man, assigned the greatest and most difficult task in the history of mankind – yet, he was not too busy to inquire about the happiness of a small child. Such acts develop a strong bond between the teacher and his students, one that is pivotal in successful learning.
31) Be open to suggestions.
When the companions reached the battlefield of Badr with the Messenger (sa), he chose a certain position for pitching the tents of the army. One of the companions, Hubab bin Munzir (rtam), who was a seasoned war strategist, approached him and said: "Has this place been chosen by Allah (swt) or is it your own decision?" The Prophet (sa) replied that it wasn't a revelation from Allah (swt); rather, he had chosen it by himself. Hubab (rtam) then requested him to consider his decision, because there was another spot at a better location for the battle. The Messenger (sa) readily accepted this proposal and changed the location of the base camp.
If the Messenger (sa) is open to suggestions at all times, the teacher too should feel happy to have students who are able to reflect and suggest ideas to him. This does not make the teacher bound to 'obey' a suggestion , but s/he is bound to allow students to make them.
32) Leniency in punishments.
The Messenger (sa) said: "Allah loves that one should be kind and lenient in all matters." (Bukhari)
The Messenger (sa) himself disliked awarding a physical punishment to people and encouraged mildness in all matters. The way of the Messengers (sa) was one of love and affection. Those around him obeyed him, because they loved him and feared his disobedience, because they knew their sins upset him, not because they would be beaten.
The anger of the teacher should be feared, because it might banish someone from his/her good books, not because of corporal punishment.
Anas bin Malik (rtam) narrates: "I served the Prophet (sa) for ten years, and he never said to me, 'Uff' (a minor harsh word denoting impatience) and never blamed me by saying, 'Why did you do so or why didn't you do so?'" (Bukhari)
The Messenger (sa) did not, however, ban physical punishment. He said: "Teach the child to pray, when he is seven years old, and smack him, if he does not pray, when he is ten."
Firstly, keep in mind that a Muslim child ought to see his parents and those around him involved in prayer from the time s/he is born. Growing up in such a household would automatically result in him/her engaging in Salah from a very young age. The Messenger (sa) has asked us to encourage a child to offer Salah regularly at the age of seven and to ensure that s/he does so by the age of ten. This means that the next three years should be spent teaching and training him. And when all this fails, then he has suggested physical punishment. There are certain things to be noted. A ten-year-old child, having spent his/her entire life watching people offer Salah, would not abstain from it. In case s/he does so, there might be some special reason behind it, which must be attended to. And before someone starts beating up their children, remember that the Messenger (sa) forbade striking anyone on the face, hitting so hard as to leave a mark on the body and beating excessively. Also, remember the purpose of physical punishment is not to injure a child but to scare him/her from an evil deed, nor should the punishment serve as a vent of frustration, when the teacher fails in his/her own duty.
A piece of advice: do not use your hands to inflict a blow; whenever your hands reach out to the child, it should always be for affection. Also remember that the fear of physical punishment should be used more often than the punishment itself. Another thing is that physical punishment does not necessarily have to be hitting, but it could also be strenuous exercise or banishment from an enjoyable task.

13) Teach what is easily acceptable
Ali ibn Abi Talib (rtam) said: "Narrate to the people what they are acquainted with. Would you like Allah (swt) and His Messenger (sa) to be rejected?" (Bukhari)
Educators should remember that if they overload the students, this might result in a complete breakdown. If a student collapses intellectually once, it takes a mountain of effort to bring him/her back on track.
In terms of teaching Islamic obligations, one step at a time should be taken, in order to make the new entrant in this field comfortable. For example, let younger children begin their Salah with Fard only. Later, when they get into the routine, ask them to attempt a few Sunnah units as well. This way, they will not feel over-burdened. Sports' coaches face similar situations. For instance, weights are increased progressively to make the athlete accept the challenge easily.
14) First the easy and then the difficult
When the Prophet (sa) sent Muadh ibn Jabal (rtam) to Yemen, he said to him: "You are going to the people of the Scripture. Let the first thing to which you will invite them be the Tauhid of Allah (swt). If they learn that, tell them that Allah (swt) has enjoined on them five prayers to be offered in one day and one night. If they pray, tell them that Allah (swt) has enjoined on them Zakah of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. If they agree to that, then take from them the Zakah but avoid the best property of the people." (Bukhari)
Thus, Allah's Messenger (sa) taught Muadh (rtam) the order, in which to teach the people of Yemen, so that they would not suddenly feel overburdened with the injunctions. This step-by-step approach must be adopted in today's classrooms, so that the students easily grasp concepts, as they grow intellectually.
15) Make matters easy for the students
Allah's Messenger (sa) said: "Allah has not sent me as a person, who causes difficulty to others. Rather, He sent me as a teacher, who gives glad tidings." (Muslim)
According to Allah's Messenger (sa), the primary function of the teacher is to make matters easy for students to understand, that is, simplify and dilute the lessons for their wards. The level of lesson must be brought down to match the mental abilities of the students. A teacher can impress his or her students with fancy words, but if he or she fails to make them comprehend the lesson, then the purpose is lost. Educators should ensure their students understand the lesson.
16) Break down into easier goals
Abdullah ibn Masud (rtam) said: "When any of us (companions) learnt ten verses, he would not go any further, until he had learnt their meaning and how to put it into practice." (Kashf al-Qina) This is the perfect example of Allah's Messenger's (sa) teaching methodology. Breaking down a larger task into smaller units can help students achieve the easier goals. These can finally culminate to become important milestones for the students.
17) Interactive teaching
Abdullah bin Amr (rtam) said he heard Allah's Messenger (sa) asking his companions: "Do you know who is a Muslim?" They replied: "Allah and His Messenger know best." Allah's Messenger (sa) said: "A Muslim is he from whose tongue and hands other Muslims are safe." (Ahmad)
Interactive teaching is one of the most prominent characteristics of the Messenger's (sa) teaching methodology. By asking questions, he stimulated the intellect of the students, and they then became more eager to absorb the knowledge. This method is especially beneficial, when a lesson becomes somewhat dull, and a question (on any related subject) becomes a wake-up call for those present.
18) Teaching by demonstration
A person came to Allah's Messenger (sa) and said: "O Allah's Messenger! How should I perform ablution?" Allah's Messenger (sa) asked for water in a container and demonstrated the complete act of ablution for him. (Abu Dawood) When teaching, the best way to make students remember and understand is to show them by performing the act yourself.
19) Similes and examples
Allah's Messenger (sa) said: "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the one, who blows the blacksmith's bellows. As for the seller of musk, then either he will grant you some, you will buy some from him or at least you will enjoy a pleasant smell from him. As for the one, who blows the blacksmith's bellows, then either he will burn your clothes or you will get an offensive smell from him." (Bukhari and Muslim)
Here, Allah's Messenger (sa) has used a simile to explain the difference between good and bad company. Likewise, he would frequently use parables and similes to make the students understand the points he wanted to make. An important lesson here is that the teacher should not just issue orders; he or she should explain the wisdom behind them as well.
20) Storytelling
One of the favourite methods of Allah's Messenger (sa) was true storytelling. The Quran, the Ahadeeth and other Islamic books are full of historical events and inspiring narratives, which can be used to impart knowledge and values to the students. Regardless of which subject you teach, you can always narrate an interesting anecdote, when the class becomes boring during a long discourse.
21) Use body language
Allah's Messenger (sa) said: "Should I not inform you about the most serious of major sins?" He said this thrice. At that time, he was leaning against something. Then he sat up and said: "Behold! A false statement and a false testimony! Behold! A false statement and a false testimony!" (Muslim)
The repetitive style of the Messenger (sa) is used here to emphasize the importance of the subject coming up. Note that to utter the last statement, he sat up. A teacher's body language is very important to his delivery. A sudden change in posture can make the students more attentive in class.
22) Illustrate with hand gestures
Allah's Messenger (sa) said: "A believer to another believer is like a wall – one part strengthens the other." Allah's Messenger (sa) then interlocked his fingers. (Bukhari) In the absence of audio-visual aids, even a simple act of using one's hand or body can help students understand an important topic.
23) Exhibit items
Allah's Messenger (sa) took a piece of silk in his left hand and some gold in his right hand. He raised them with his hands and said: "These two items are prohibited to the males of my Ummah."
Announcing the prohibition might have been enough, but the Messenger (sa) deliberately chose to exhibit samples of the items being discussed. This emphasizes the importance of visual images in teaching. Educators using these on a regular basis will experience a higher level of learning from their students, Insha'Allah!
24) Let students take notes
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (rtam) said: "I used to write down everything, which I used to hear from Allah's Messenger (sa)." (Abu Dawood) Bear in mind that some students are slow in writing. Be patient with them, so that they may record your knowledge.
25) Encourage students to ask questions
The Quran instructs: "…So ask of those who know the scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not." (An-Nahl 16:43) A teacher must be willing to answer his students' queries. Allah's Messenger (sa) encouraged the people to put forward their enquiries. He said: "The cure for ignorance is questioning." (Ad-Daraqutni)
When dealing with queries, answer calmly and maintain your composure. Use logic and rationale when responding to questions. Your attitude should encourage students to ask for further explanation, if needed.

The Messenger (sa) said: "I have only been sent as a teacher." (Ibn Majah) Surely, that was his role: he had to impart the instructions and the message of the Lord (swt) of the worlds to humankind. This task assigned to him was multi-dimensional as well as layered with problems.
How can the Prophet's (sa) example be applied to the modern-day classroom? The following tips are not only for the benefit of the instructors of Islamic sciences. They are applicable to teachers of all subjects and all schools. Remember: whatever profession you belong to, you shall have to play the role of a teacher at some time or the other; in fact, isn't teaching the primary role of parents? It is hoped that teachers and parents alike will benefit from these tips.
1) Sincerity of Intention
Making an intention is a prerequisite for every action. Unless a deed is performed with a proper objective in mind, it cannot be rewarded. One must have a purpose for all that one does, rather than carry on without any direction. This is, of course true of a teaching as well.
The Messenger of Allah (sa) said: "The actions shall be judged only by the intentions." (Bukhari) As educators, we will be rewarded for the noble intentions behind our teaching practices. There are three aspects of purifying one's intention:
The first aspect: the intention to seek the pleasure of Allah (swt).
Every action that is performed for His sake, no matter how routine, is considered to be an act of worship.
The second aspect: sincerity.
Tamim Ad-Dari (rta) narrated: "The Messenger (sa) said: 'The Deen is Naseehah (sincerity and sincere advice).' We asked: 'To whom?' He said: 'To Allah, His Book, His Messenger and the leaders of the Muslims and the general people.'" (Muslim)
The third aspect: following the Islamic methodology.
The Quran says: "Say (O Muhammad): If you truly love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins; for, Allah is Oft-forgiving, most Merciful." (Al-Imran 3:31)
The Messenger of Allah (sa) is the greatest reformer in the entire history. He is an emblem of all the best virtues and excellent qualities imaginable. He was blessed with the attributes of mercy, tolerance, forgiveness, love, compassion, truthfulness, piety, righteousness and steadfastness to the degree of perfection. To follow his example is to follow the perfect path – yes, this includes the classroom.
2) Teacher – Student Relationship
The most important element in teaching is the bond that the teacher has with the students. This relationship plays a decisive role in the learning process. If the relationship is based upon mutual love and respect, students will be able to absorb much more from their teacher. The Messenger of Allah (sa) said: "Verily, I am to you like a father is to his child; I am teaching you." (Ibn Majah)
When a teacher becomes a second parent, the manner of dealing with the learners becomes positive and so do the results of teaching.
We know well the extent of love and respect that the companions of the Messenger (sa) had for him, the importance they gave him in their lives, and the way they were ever ready to lay down their lives at his command.
It must be remembered that this love did not and does not automatically install itself in the hearts; in the case of the companions, it was more of a reaction. It was the Messenger's (sa) love and compassion because of which they became his devoted students. He was the embodiment of love and mercy for his companions.
The Quran says: "There has come to you a Messenger from amongst you: it weighs heavily upon him that which harasses you. [He is] anxious over your well-being. [He is] extremely compassionate and merciful to the believers." (At-Taubah 9:128)
The love that the Messenger (sa) had for his students made them love him in return. The vibes of love and mercy he sent out led to their unconditional obedience. If the educators of today do not exude this level of compassion, how can they attain their students' respect and obedience? If you want to receive love, you must first be prepared to give it.
3) Practice what you teach
The Messenger (sa) would teach through his own noble personality. His behaviour would inspire and motivate at the same time. His own actions were the best that can be in every scope of one's life, especially as a teacher. The Quran says: "Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much." (Al-Ahzab 33:21)
The ideal example is that of the Messenger (sa), whose each and every action and word was revealed by Allah (swt) Himself.
The Quran says: "Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only an Inspiration that is inspired." (An-Najm 53:3-4)
What instruction can be better than the instruction of the Creator Himself?
Amr ibn al-Aas (rta) said about the Messenger of Allah (sa): "He does not command any good without being the first one to act on it." (Al-Khasais Al-Kubra)
These words encompass a world of beauty in the art of teaching. There must not be a conspicuous disparity between what one says and what one does. If there is, what else do we call hypocrisy?
A question that arises here is: "This is good for a teacher of Islamic studies or such, but how can a mathematics teacher or a teacher of languages 'practice' what he says?"
The answer to this question has two parts. Firstly, a teacher of a language, say English, needs to have a high standard of the language that he or she is teaching. Likewise, if a teacher encourages reading as a habit, he or she should be seen with a new book under his or her arm regularly. All teachers encourage good handwriting – should they not be careful about their own handwriting at all times?
Secondly, a teacher of religious studies or morals is not the only educator who teaches ethics to students. Remember: Every teacher is a role model for the students who observe him/her on the school premises or outside of it.
Always remember: "Correcting others is based on correcting oneself. Therefore, begin with yourself and then with those who are close to you." (Quoted by Imam Ghazali in Ihya Uloom ad-Deen)

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 214114
nfs very verbose when exporting the same mount twice
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:29:23 EST
consider an exports like..
/home/davej/foo workstation.mydomain.com(rw)
/home/davej/foo *.mydomain.com(ro)
to make it r/w for one system in mydomain.com, and ro for everyone else.
syslog gets lots of messages of the form..
/home/davej/foo exported to both *.mydomain.com and workstation.mydomain.com in
The mounts do behave as I'd expect them to, it's just very noisy.
Ahh good, it's not just me :) Although no activity on this bug in a couple
months. I'd settle for verbosity switch - this is making logreading a lot
uglier than it should be.
Any suggestions?
I'm not seeing these messages with nfs-utils-1.0.10-5.fc6 or
nfs-utils-1.0.12-3.fc7 (the latest rawhide version)
my exports look something like:
/var 10.12.32.32(rw,fsid=1)
/var *(ro,fsid=1)
and all I'm getting in the systlog when I mount
from any and all clients is:
mountd[4477]: authenticated mount request from <client>:612 for /var (/var)
What am I missing?
I also have nfs-utils-1.0.10-5.fc6. My export for /home looks like this, to
enable mountings in general to the whole private subnet
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, and add no_root_squash access to one special machine,
/home entropy(rw,no_root_squash,sync) neutrino(rw,no_root_squash,sync)
mwah39701(rw,sync) mwah39703(rw,sync) mwah39704(rw,sync) mwah39705(rw,sync)
umd-physics (rw,sync) 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)
I'm getting this in /var/log/messages :
mountd[2644]: /home exported to both 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and neutrino in
But I'm not getting the authenticated mount request message - maybe an NFS v3 vs
v4 issue? Been meaning to port everything over to v4 but haven't yet gotten
around to it.
Now, my networking is a bit involved, which could be a difference. Both the
exporting machine ("lepton") and the mounting machine ("neutrino") can talk to
each other on a public network over one NIC, and also on a in-the-lab-only NIC.
"neutrino" resolves to the internal NIC, 192.168.1.6 via /etc/hosts (and
dnsmasq after that with my own internal DNS). Name resolution checks out:
lepton(~)> ping neutrino
PING neutrino (192.168.1.6) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from neutrino (192.168.1.6): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.410 ms
Could it be the /etc/exports syntax difference between your global "*" and my
netmasked IP?
Created attachment 149858 [details]
Purposed Patch
I need to run this by upstream to see if they can
live with turning this warning into a debug statement
but this patch will shut mountd up... I'll trying
to get into a rpm asaic....
Not sure when exactly the fix got pushed, but checking on my old bugs today,
this one appears to have been fixed. Using nfs-utils-1.0.10-12.fc6

In its efforts to make a difference in the life of labourers, who have helped construct many iconic buildings in Dubai, the hotel accorded them a special experience of dining in a Five Star Hotel. The extensive Iftar buffet was a blend of Oriental, Continental and Arabic cuisine, with an array of typical Ramadan beverages. Further the labourers went home extremely spoilt, with special gifts and individual framed pictures as mementos of the evening.
In her speech, Ms. Roxana Jaffer, expressed confidence in her team who drive Holiday Inn Dubai – "Loves You Campaign" (HI-LUC) as an initiative that enables every member of staff to become socially responsible.

It takes only one dirham to provide a meal to a child for a day."

Overall great service the flowers were beautiful and my girlfriend loved the chocolates, she is french so she knows good chocolates when she eats them the message in card was word for word (i was expecting the message to spell correct what i wrote) and the balloon was a lovely touch. (although cheesy but hey we all love a bit of cheese don't we :) its called romance)
The only thing i was a bit annoyed at is that she got them too early in the day i had option for Guaranteed delivery before 10am but i chose guaranteed before noon (thinking she would get them between 10am and 12pm) which wouldn't interrupt her work before her morning break they arrived at 9.20am but luckily her boss is a cool guy and he was just like oh i never got my missis anything like that so i will let you off. I would Definitely order from you guys again thanks for making my now Fiancee a Happy Lady
First Class service. Never used their service before but would certainly do so again. Flowers were very good value and a little unusual...I needed the colour blue for friends Saphire Wedding Anniversary and these were just beautiful. Friends were delighted with them. On line ordering easy and fast efficient service. Thank you
Very pleased with service. I was kept well informed about deliver, with lovely messages with a difference, they put a smile on my face! Flowers arrived on time and were beautiful. Well wrapped and cared for. Thank you for a brilliant service.
Will order with you again.
I have used Serenata Flowers a number of times. They always deliver when they say they will and keep you updated along the way. The flowers are simply gorgeous and I can relax knowing my gift will arrive in perfect condition. And! They are very reasonably priced.
Easy to order, good delivery service. Have used many times and always good quality and last well. Unfortunately these did not last as long as others although my daughter said they were lovely on arrival. Good prices and love free delivery and Sunday deliveries.
Fantastic service. I was kept up to date regarding the delivery details which is important tom me as I live in New Zealand. My sister loved her flowers which were beautiful and they lasted a long time.
Used Serenata several times. I have use others inbetween, but their service, free delivery, quick delivery always proves top. The recent flowers for my mother were really top quality.

Posted by Tyler McDaniel on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on October 25, 2016
Technology has become the foundation for nearly every customer experience, enabling companies to provide new sources of value to customers with each interaction. It's no surprise, then, that business leaders are shifting their mindset and their approach to technology.
Specifically, tech-empowered customers and their rising expectations have led to changes in:
The infographic below dives deeper into these new purchasing trends:
As business leaders begin to play a larger role in tech investments, it's important to know the kinds of decisions they're making and what they expect from you along the way. A deep understanding of your changing tech buyers will help you succeed in an era where technology underpins everything we do.
Posted by Tyler McDaniel on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on October 6, 2016
For years, technology purchasing has been moving away from a central IT approach and into the business. Forrester Data shows that in North American enterprises, 73% of technology spending is either business-led or the business provides significant input into IT's purchase — up from 71% last year.
Clearly times have changed when it comes to technology purchasing, and business decision-makers (BDMs) are more critical to the process than ever. For example, North American enterprise BDMs reserve 41% of their respective budgets for technology purchases and expect to increase their total spend by 5% over the next year.
When asked why they are spending more of their business budget on technology, North American enterprise BDMs cited three critical reasons. First and foremost, technology is too important for the business not to be involved:
Second, the rising expectations of customers require the business to push IT to keep technology current. And finally, business executives' understanding of technology is increasing; so, they can interact more effectively with IT.
Thirty-nine percent of North American enterprise BDMs believe that "software is the key enabler for their business," and helps them to engage with customers. This trend is even more prevalent in Europe and Asia Pacific, where 51% and 58% of BDMs, respectively, believe the same thing. This significant attitudinal shift will continue to shape how software is acquired, deployed, and used to drive business success.
So how can you capitalize on the widespread and significant changes to the B2B technology landscape?

WERK is a visual, physical, and musical exploration of working, focusing on the rhythms, dynamics, emotions, textures, poetry, flavor, and materials of work (fabric, grain, water, paper, and other tangibles). The piece reveals the beauty of work—its design, sounds and sensory aspects—as well as its raison d'etre: subsistence, power, survival, pride or pain. WERK pays attention to labor which does not get acknowledged, and pays homage to human self-sufficiency and resourcefulness.
The Play
The story follows a young woman of limited means and her baby from job to job. While searching for leftover food in the local marketplace after closing time, the woman finds assorted materials in the trash with which she creates a makeshift, but cleverly designed, baby carriage. A young businessman sees her quirky invention and steals the design idea as his own. A factory is built on the site of the marketplace and assembly line workers hired, including the young mother. Much to her surprise, the factory is fabricating baby carriages identical to her design.
In the piece, labor which directly applies to daily survival is contrasted to work in which the products of one's labors are unrelated. Both the pleasures and perils of work are illustrated, with more than a touch of humor, the overarching statement being: to be human is to work.
The play has a non-linear and metaphorical quality which is achieved through stylized actions, masks, dance and music. Verbal language is not used in the piece, and actions are skillful and precise. The ability to communicate ideas without language is a Bond Street Theatre signature.
Project Supporters
From the Press
"Using great rhythm, expression, and special effects, their performances delighted the audience. Excellent physical expressivity and musicality."
"The production was thoroughly entertaining while at the same time addressing some interesting issues…. The company's ability to address a complex topic without verbal language was remarkable. …Even my children loved it!"
"Bond Street's work is always refreshing and immediate. Catch this innovative new show."
"Breathtaking and funny… their actors so well trained in all varieties of physical theatre."

After long goodbye, signs off from 'The Daily Show'
By Jill Serjeant
NEW YORK (Reuters) - His "Daily Show" set is being donated to Washington's Newseum and 19 of his custom-made show suits have been auctioned off for a disability charity
It's been a very long goodbye, but Jon Stewart ends his 16-year stint at "The Daily Show" on Thursday, leaving little hint of what he will do next.
Stewart, who announced his departure in February, leaves thousands of grieving fans and an outpouring of media tributes debating his legacy as the nation's most popular political satirist.
"Why Jon Stewart Might Be Irreplaceable," wrote Hollywood trade paper Variety this week. The New York Daily News called him "The comic who became a conscience."
With its biting satire, juxtaposed TV news clips, "fake news" correspondents, and "Moment of Zen" sign-off, Stewart's influence on political life and pop culture far outweighed the show's small, under two million nightly Comedy Central audience.
More than 200,000 people turned out for his 2010 Washington "Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear" with Stephen Colbert. His "Daily Show" won 18 Emmy Awards in as many years.
"When he is going on all cylinders that show could be absolutely breath-taking and really informative and important to the civic conversation," said Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University's Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture.
"People used to watch some of this goofy stuff that goes on in TV news and didn't think anything about it. But as you see the 100th montage where Stewart shows how all these cliches are repeated across the board, you don't look at TV news in the same way," Thompson added Continued...

Still it falls well within the top half of its segment and ranks even better when compared to other off-road SUVs.Our analysis shows the 2008 Nissan Xterra is a strong choice for those who want a tough capable vehicle and don't mind a few bumps along the way. Auto reviewers tout the Xterra's rugged body-on-frame construction and powerful standard V6 engine -- but no one will confuse it with a luxury car. "Nissan has built a sport/utility vehicle that's exactly what the customers want: It's rugged versatile fun solid-looking honest and will take you and your gear anywhere you want to go -- without costing a fortune" says Motor Trend.The 2006 model was an award winner earning honors such as the "Most Wanted SUV Under $25000." For 2008 the Xterra gets a few very minor changes including the addition of new paint colors Bluetooth mobile phone capability and standard features such as power windows and door locks. There is seating for five although some complain the interior lacks style.

Totnes MP Sarah Wollaston calls for labels on drinks to show how many teaspoons of sugar they contain
Dr. Sarah Wollaston, the Conservative MP for Totnes who chairs the Health Select Committee in Parliament, has called on the Government to ensure labels on drinks state how many teaspoons of sugar they contain.
She was among several MPs calling for the Government to introduce a sugar tax on soft drinks as part of a package of measures to reduce sugar intake after a petition from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver came before Parliament.
Oliver's petition, which has received almost 152,000 signatures, notes £1 billion could be raised every year by charging an extra 7p in tax on a regular-sized can of soft drink which contains added sugar.
The petitioners argue this money should be protected and used to develop NHS and school strategies to deal with childhood obesity and diet-related diseases.
Dr. Wollaston, who called for a package of measures to tackle the issues, said: "I think Jamie Oliver in his presentation to us made a very compelling case for let's just put the teaspoons on the drinks."
She added: "What you need to have is clear information which says does this contain 12, 13, six and... I think it helps industry if people can clearly see they've made an effort to make a lower sugar product but let's allow that within clear labelling."
Earlier Dr Wollaston also denied a sugar tax on soft drinks is "regressive and hits the poor", saying: "Look at who is already hit by this problem - the burden of childhood obesity falls on the poorest children in our community and what we know from experience in Mexico is that a 10% levy on sugary drinks has led to a 6% reduction in consumption, but perhaps more importantly it's led to a 9% reduction in consumption among the heaviest users and that's the point here."

Jayson Werth swung in the indoor batting cages during Sunday's game. For a week, his balky right shoulder — technically, an acromioclavicular (AC) joint sprain — prevented him from swinging. He did on Saturday and again the next day. Once the Nationals took a two-run lead in the seventh inning, Manager Matt Williams wasn't going to insert Werth into the game and told him so.
But when the Nationals fell behind by a run in the ninth, Werth went back down into the batting cages and tested his shoulder. He felt like he could make a difference and told Williams. Appearing in a game for the first time since Aug. 10, Werth pinch-hit in the ninth, drew a key walk and scored the game-tying run. In the 11th, he doubled and scored the winning run. His timing was still good.
"I haven't swung a bat for like a week," he said. "Not a whole lot you can do there. But you play this long, you play this deep into the season, you don't really — it's like when you come back from the all-star break, it's not like you missed a whole lot. So I felt pretty good still."
Werth hurt his shoulder making a catch at the right field wall earlier this month and played with the discomfort. He aggravated it last week, and the discomfort forced him to get a cortisone shot. With the team playing well and the Nationals enjoying a six-game division lead, the team has been cautious with Werth, and he has been with himself.
"It feels better every day," Werth said. "It's just one of those things where it's an injury I've never had before so I don't really know what I'm dealing with. Been talking to a lot of people, trainers and doctors, and just trying to gauge exactly where we're at. There's a lot at stake here this season, and I want to be a part of it. I don't want to come back before I'm ready but, at the same time, I felt like we'd progressed enough and felt good enough to get in there [Sunday]."
On the double off the left field wall to lead off the 11th, Werth hit the ball hard, perhaps an indication his shoulder felt good. He said after the game it felt fine. He did note something interesting: He made an adjustment to shorten his swing, which would help alleviate any impact on his right shoulder. He made a similar change when he returned from a broken wrist in 2012. He even reused some of those old drills. "I think it really helped," he said.
"[I did it] just to take pressure off the shoulder, the AC joint," he added. "I've never had this before so I'm kind of just tinkering around, trying to figure out something that's going to work. But I think we're close. I've been getting every indication that chances are I'm not going to injure it, unless I do something stupid out there. I felt it was worth the risk [Sunday]. In a game like that, I wanted to keep the streak going and win a game. So I went for it."

The 2000i Series 5.1 is a compact speaker package that comprises two pairs of 2010i speakers for the fronts and rears, the 2000Ci centre and the 2070Si subwoofer.
At under £700, it's more affordable than the brilliant 7000i package we tested recently, but with the company proclaiming the 2000i Series as "sonically the best affordable speakers ever produced" when it launched, we're optimistic that it'll deliver similarly impressive performance.
The 2000i system gets off to a great start with a stunning design. The entire range is available in Graphite and Walnut finishes for £649.95 but for £50 more you can upgrade to Piano Gloss White or Black. We were given the Gloss White version to test and it's utterly gorgeous, with the luxurious, gleaming exterior forming a striking contrast with the black cloth grille on the front.
The 2010i's funky curved edges cater for contemporary design tastes, and at 234mm high by 203mm deep the cabinets don't take up much space. They're differentiated from Q's original 2000 series speakers with tweaked baffle mouldings and tweeter rings.
You could easily perch them on shelves or furniture, but Q Acoustics' unique 'Tilt and Turn' speaker bracket (2000WB, £19 each) allows the 2010i or 2000Ci to be mounted almost flat to the wall and angled down or sideways. Alternatively, Q also sells classy 2000ST speaker stands for £100 a pair.
Unusually, the 2010i and 2000Ci's binding posts are found in a recess on the bottom, which makes the cables a little trickier to connect than usual but allows the cable to neatly poke out from underneath, rather than the back. When used with the 2000WB bracket, a plate covers up these terminals.
The 2000Ci centre, which is configured horizontally to aid placement under a TV, is fairly bulky but manageably so. Like all the speakers in the package, build quality is outstanding – weighty and solid, with no visible joins or screws. They're all equipped with rubber pads on the bottom to quell vibration when placed on a tabletop.
The 2070Si is a curiously-shaped subwoofer, barely wider than the 2010i but measuring a whopping 560mm deep, which presents an interesting installation challenge.
At the rear end of this long cabinet is a panel of controls, including three dials – volume, crossover and phase – plus four switches to control sound mode (Music or AV), phase invert, auto power sensitivity and speaker type. The speaker type switch optimises performance for sealed or ported satellites in 'Music' mode (all the speakers in this system are ported).
Lower down the rear panel is a recess housing left/right line-level phono inputs, line output (for daisy-chaining extra subs) and speaker level binding posts. The recess is covered by a plate with a hole at the bottom for the cables.
The 2000i Series' drivers have been optimised specifically for this system. The 2010i and 2000Ci's 25mm dome tweeters incorporate advanced multi-layered cone material (as opposed to treated fabric), which have been 'super-decoupled' from the baffle. The company claims this results in low distortion, sweeter treble, improved imaging and a wider soundstage.
The 100mm mid/bass cones use a carbon fibre and ceramic-coated paper material in place of the paper/mica mix used by the previous 2000 Series. The sats and centre are also equipped with foam bungs that can be inserted into the rear port when mounted close to a wall, which stops them sounding too boomy.
The 2070Si is a completely digital signal processing-driven subwoofer, which is why you get extra functionality like the 'Speaker Type' switch. It's equipped with a pair of front-firing 170mm drivers, and the Class D amplifier musters a quoted 150W of power.
SEE ALSO: Our pick of the Best Soundbars
Just like the 7000i system, the 2000i package delivers a sensational performance for the money. Listen to the big action sequences during Hellboy II: The Golden Army on Blu-ray, for example, and you simply won't believe the sense of scale it achieves, or how clear and composed it makes everything sound. There's a level of sophistication and sonic confidence here that beggars belief for a sub-£700 system.
When Hellboy takes on the Elemental at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the 2000i's impressive speed, clarity and punch really brings the creature to life. As it bursts through the ground, the subwoofer's hard-hitting yet tightly-controlled bass makes a forceful impact.
Then, as it starts lobbing cars and stomping on the ground, the system cranks up the jeopardy with deep, pounding footsteps and a bellowing roar, which give you a real sense of the creature's size and heft.
The 2000i system's dynamic, attacking tone never strays into hardness. The crash of a car hitting a helicopter or the blast of Hellboy's gun are crisply and clearly dispatched without bashing your eardrums, while the use of identical satellites means there's no variation in tone as effects pan between channels.
That also ensures an absorbing surround soundstage, with quick, smooth panning and crisp detail. Dialogue is clear and realistic too, allowing voices to cut through busy scenes with terrific detail, depth and volume.
The icing on the cake is the system's sweet treble reproduction, which rivals systems costing twice as much. Throughout the above scene, the speakers effortlessly tease out tiny details like the fizz of raining debris or the tinkle of shattering glass, making them sound light and airy. It even teases out the leading edge of the score's brass section, which lends the music extra urgency.
And like the 7000i, the 2000i system is effortlessly musical, handling our gamut of two-channel test tunes with refinement and rhythmic prowess. Its neutral approach makes instruments and vocals sound as natural as possible, while the agile subwoofer keeps pace with tricky basslines. This is the perfect system for lovers of movies and music alike.
SEE ALSO: Best Surround Sound Systems
If you're in the market for a sub-£700 speaker package, then your search is over. This 2000i package represents outstanding value for money, backing up its sumptuous modern design with the sort of polished, powerful performance you normally only get from more expensive speakers.
The only question is whether you opt for the 2000i package or the pricier 7000i system, but for our money the 2000i is more appealing – its sound has slightly more presence and we prefer the design – but either way you're laughing.
The 2000i's epic performance and delectable design make a mockery of the sub-£700 price tag and cements Q Acoustics' status as one of the best affordable speaker brands around.
Next, check out our full range of Surround Sound System reviews
Hi. How does this compare to the Bowers & Wilkins 684 Theatre?
Obviously the price point is miles apart but what about the sound quality?
Are they comparable? Or different leagues?
They are probably very similar. You may hear a difference but this may not necessarily be a good thing.
I would stay clear from B&W in principal. B&W (and several other 'British' speaker manufacturers) are trading as a high-end British speaker manufacturer - yet a lot of their kit (definately the 684s) is made in China). No issue with China but the price does not reflect this.
Speakers made in China are not 'crafted' - they're made by some lowly-paid labourer.
At least Q Acoustics are honest enough and their price reflect the product.
My own opinion would be to go for the Q Acoustics and save a packet with the additional benefit of not supporting B&W making their stuff in China for silly money.
Do audition both though with your music source and music material.
The fact that these B&W speakers are made in China does not bother me.
I care about the performance of the speaker set.
Within a few days there are have been two surround speaker systems reviewed on TR and both have been highly praised. My question is how do they compare?
Hopefully we will here from Danny Phillips who reviewed both sets.
Why is the gloss white an extra £150!
You can't compare those two because of the price difference. It's like comparing a Jaguar with a Maserati. They're both excellent, but the second one is the most expensive.
Apple probably patented "white", and so royalties must be paid per ml of paint used.
Wasn't this package released back in October 2011? Some kind of tech timewarp?

Revolutionary brand-new Need for Speed by Criterion - Burnout franchise frozen?
Criterion, the makers of Burnout Paradise, are said to resurrect the NfS franchise with a brand-new Need for Speed in 2010.
EA still drives at full throttle with the Need for Speed series. After the last NfS editions were criticized both by fans and the press, EA now wants to co-operate with several developers who will produce the Need for Speed games. The teams will take turns every two years.
The latest Need for Speed: Shift is developed by Slightly Mad Studios (once Blimey) who became popular with simulation racing games such as GTR and GTR Legends. Next year's Need for Speed will be produced by Criterion, the makers of Burnout Paradise.
In an interview with the Kotaku EA CEO John Riccitiello reports that the new, still anonymous Need for Speed will be revolutionary. Riccitiello was full of praise for Criterion CEO Alex Ward: "Alex is one of the people in the industry I would analogize to the great filmmakers. He is a true creative visionary." Due to the works on the new Need for Speed there are currently no plans for a greater Burnout game. That might be bad news for fans of the Burnout series.
However, Need for Speed and Burnout will not be merged. "I don't think you can fold Burnout into Need for Speed, because a lot of people like Burnout", Riccitiello says.
What do you think about the fact that Criterion is developing the next Need for Speed? Please use the comments. Further information about Need for Speed: Shift can be found in the following articles:

Time For The Escape Plan
As Sam felt his way around in the cold, dark, depressing, abandoned pit.
He started to picture what the place would look like in the light.
The chains tried to drag him back down but his will power and determination was too strong for the chains to handle. The more restraint he had the more the solid silver chains felt like paper disintergrating from his body.
Sam felt more determined then he ever had in his entire life at the age of only 30 years old he shouldn't be so defeated but everyday felt like tourture and that God slapped his cold,dark, unlucky hand across his innocent young face.
But being locked up inside a bottomless pit did make him see life in a whole new perspective and he was for the first time in his entire life grateful for being and feeling alive.
As Sam thought his luck couldn't get any better he heard the sound of something several feet above him. It sounded like something or someone was trying with all their might to move something.
He realized after only a few minutes that it was a women huffing and puffing every minute while she tried to move the heavy object above.
Sam was really excited but also really frightened as he never really had any luck with women in the life he lived so far.
Was that the reason why he has been so miserable for 30 years?
Sam felt terrible for being trapped and he wanted nothing more but to help the women to move the heavy object. The impulse was something he never felt before it wasn't like he wasn't kind to people especially women, it was just he never got the chance to help a women without it ending up in a really awkward situation.
Several minutes later which felt more like several hours later a strong, eye catching, irresistible beam of light shined down to fill the pit with it's rays of hope.
It took a while for Sam's vision to focus on his surroundings as for a few minutes all he could see were small black dots occupying his vision and concentration.
Once his vision finally restored back to normal he could see that what he thought was a bottomless pit was in fact an underground cell. The thought of being left alone underground in a prison cell made a cold, icy frost shiver spiral down his spin and give him goose bumps that no matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop himself from shivering.
After a quick glance at his surroundings his gaze worked it's way up towards the top of the underground prison cell where is rescuer and freedom both awaited for him.

During the regular season, the Texas Rangers' pitching staff topped the American League with 19 shutouts. The Chicago White Sox were second––with 14. The club also ranked amongst the top in baseball with 10 complete games from the starting pitchers.
The postseason has been a different story. In Texas' 10 postseason games, the starters have posted a cumulative 5.62 earned-run average. They've also yet to work past the sixth inning in any start. So far, it hasn't mattered. The club is currently in the World Series with a 7-3 postseason record. It's in large part due to the work of the bullpen, which has logged a 2.34 ERA and yielded only 29 hits in 42.1 innings.
Perhaps the biggest factor in the bullpen thus far is flame-throwing righty Alexi Ogando, who has allowed one run on four hits in 10.1 postseason innings, walking two and striking out 12. More importantly, he is eating up innings in the gap between the starters and closer Neftali Feliz. Ogando totaled 7.2 frames in four appearances during the ALCS against Detroit.
The Dominican Republic native isn't only getting dominant results, but his stuff is also the sharpest of his career. Ogando is consistently throwing his fastball between 95-99 mph to go along with a sharp, late-breaking wipeout slider at 84-86 mph. He's also mixing in the little-used changeup effectively.
On top of the dominant stuff, Ogando is getting ahead in counts and locating all three pitches. He has thrown 102 of his 151 postseason pitches for strikes––a remarkable 68 percent.
Ogando once was somewhat of a myth to Rangers fans, firing triple-digit fastballs at the club's Dominican Republic complex for four years.
Initially signed by Oakland as an outfielder in 2002, Ogando played the '03 and '04 seasons with the Athletics' short-season clubs in the U.S. The 6-foot-4 athlete flashed plus raw power and a cannon of an arm from right field.
But after the '04 campaign, Ogando's once promising career came to an abrupt halt. Ogando and approximately 30 other Dominican players––including Rangers prospect Omar Beltre––were caught in a marriage fraud scandal. The players were signing papers to marry women they'd never met in order for the women to enter the United States.
While all players involved were banned from entering the U.S., the Rangers took a chance on Ogando by selecting him in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 Draft in December 2005. The club did so with the intention of immediately moving him to the mound.
The Rangers spent more than four years attempting to get Ogando and Beltre back into the States while both hurlers lit up the much younger Dominican Summer League. In 81 career DSL innings, Ogando posted a 1.11 ERA while fanning 114 batters in 81 innings. Meanwhile, Rangers fans heard stories of the banished pitcher flashing triple-digit velocity in the Dominican.
At one point, the club considered selling both players to Japan. Luckily for the Rangers, that never happened, and the prospects were finally granted visas just in time for spring training in 2010.
Despite Ogando's overall lack of experience on the mound––especially against top-flight competition––he impressed in spring training and was assigned straight to Double-A Frisco. After a brief minor league stint, Ogando was pitching for the big league club by mid-June of last season.
The former position player immediately became a dominant force in the Texas bullpen last year, posting a 1.30 ERA while allowing only 31 hits in 41.2 innings.
The 2011 campaign provided a new challenge for Ogando, as he moved into the Rangers' starting rotation out of spring training. It was a tall order for a pitcher who entered the season with 153.1 career innings pitched at both the minor and major league levels.
As it turned out, the 28-year-old was not only the Rangers' most effective starting pitcher in the first half, but he was also named to his first All-Star team after going 9-3 with a 2.92 ERA before the break. He faded down the stretch––posting a 4.48 second-half ERA––and that's why he is in the bullpen for the postseason.
Ogando's stuff certainly plays up out of the bullpen, and legitimate questions as to whether he can handle 200-plus innings per year as a starter remain. Still, he may enter spring training in 2012 as one of the club's five best starting pitchers, and the bullpen should be strong with the return of Feliz and setup man Mike Adams.
At any rate, it's a debate for the offseason. It's a debate the Rangers are happy will have to wait until the World Series concludes. For now, Ogando is flashing the best stuff of his young career, and he is among the biggest keys to a potential Rangers World Series triumph.
