Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 12 November 2012
A9 TV, November 12th, 2012
Muslims love many people, but unbelievers only very few. Believers love many people. Even their coming together and wishing one another well is a source of ease because angels attend such meetings. Ease and tranquility arise there. Hearts are opened. It is a healthy thing for Muslims to wish one another well. A Muslim seeing another believer is a source of good health. It brings ease to the heart. But wishes from the unbelievers are poisonous. That is why women should protect themselves from the wishes of immoral and cruel people, from the enemies of Allah. Their wishes are filthy and polluting. Even glances from immoral people are polluting. Of course, there are people who are irreligious but who still have a conscience and are open to preaching. They are different. One must feel affection for them and protect and watch over them. It is not a problem if someone is an atheist, a communist or a Darwinist. The problem is if he is dishonest. One must keep away from insincere and immoral people with no conscience. Their wishes pollute one. They can damage a person's strength. That is why Allah suggests one should not look them in the face, but avoid their eyes. The interpretation of that verse is highly significant. Turn your faces away from them, says Allah. Do not look at them, He says, insha'Allah. But of course we have to resolve issues with love and brotherhood and call people to peace, insha'Allah. We cannot do that by being enemies with anyone because Almighty Allah tells us to do good to those who do us evil. And then they will become our friends. That is a miracle. How wonderful.
(A new structure and name has emerge from a meeting of members of the Syrian opposition that has lasted approximately a week in Doha, capital of Qatar. This new body, under the leadership of the known moderate Muaz al-Hatip, has decided to unite all the opposition in Syria under a single roof. Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoğlu stated that America and other countries who were insisting on the unification of the Syrian opposition in order to give backing now had no reason not to do so and that support needed to be given to this legal body that represented the Syrian people.)
Yes, I said this the other day, too. I have been saying it for a long time now. There needs to be a legitimate and well-known figure. Someone who feels affection for Christians and Jews and who has no greed and desires of his own. He may be greedy, but greedy for moral virtues.
(Today, on November 12th, 1933, the Islamic Republic of East Turkestan was founded, and also the Republic of East Turkestan on November 12th, 1944. We congratulate our brothers on these anniversaries. Insha'Allah, Allah will allow them to live in greater well-being.)
Our congratulations to them all, masha'Allah. May Allah grant them all long lives. East Turkestan will soon be like Konya, insha'Allah. By Allah's leave. We will be able to have lunch in East Turkestan and dinner in Baku. And breakfast in Cairo. They are making the world an unpleasant place for no reason. I cannot believe that hypocrisy. They are doing it one to another. But how great if we can be servants of Allah and live in happiness. Let us live in happiness and give thanks to our Lord in paradise for all eternity. "O Mahdi," we say, insha'Allah, And "O Jesus the Messiah." May Almighty Allah grant us the honor of seeing them both. May He make us followers of them both. I can feel the presence of the Mahdi (pbuh). I can feel the presence of the prayers of Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) in the world. One prays, one blessed one, and the world rolls over. The prayers of the prophets are always heeded, as you know. That applies to Noah (pbuh), our own Prophet (saas), the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and all of them. And to Jesus the Messiah. For example, they ask him to pray to our Lord to send a table of food down. He prays and it happens. But that does not eliminate the need for free will. Why? Because someone could still have prepared the table. If Jesus the Messiah prays under the inspiration of Allah then a hurricane will blow up. Or if he prays an earthquake will happen. That is an attribute of Jesus the Messiah. It is an unknown attribute. Some people may know it, but I am speaking to those who do not know. His prayer is heeded, as soon as he makes it. Allah has created him like that, it is a miracle.
Wise statements from Surat al-Baqara:
"... Allah has appointed Talut to be your king." As the king, the leader. In other words, the Mahdi (pbuh). This is a reference to the Mahdi. It is amazing. There is one abjad value, 1979. That gives Hijri 1400. It gives only the date of the Mahdi (pbuh), and that is all. No other. It speaks of a king, a leader, it is directly about the Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah. Look, the bigots will be unable to bear his leadership in that time: "How can he have kingship over us when we have much more right to kingship than he does?" We have much more learning. There are teachers and scholars there, so who does he think he is? That is what they say, may Allah forbid. "He has not even got much wealth!" We have wealth and possessions and means. We have political power and means. So who does he think he is when there are people like us around? They say that. That gives an abjad date of 1966. "Allah has chosen him over you and favored him greatly in knowledge and physical strength. Allah gives kingship to anyone He wills." 1989. "Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing." 2036. (Surat al-Baqara, 247) Look, the verse gives the dates of the system of the Mahdi one after the other. Abjad values, one after the other.
And Allah speaks of the Ark, of the finding of the Ark of the Covenant, which Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will produce, as you know. "The sign of his kingship" the seal of the system of the Mahdi, "is that the Ark will come to you," Allah says. Look, the Ark of the Covenant, the Ark of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) is in the Qur'an. "containing serenity from your Lord..." He says that ease and peace, a guarantee of faith, will come to your hearts. "Serenity will come to your hearts," He says. "When the Mahdi (pbuh) brings the Ark and places it before the al-Aqsa Mosque, all Christians and Jews will become Muslims en masse." Our prophet (saas) says that a great mass of people will become Muslims. In the time of the Mahdi (pbuh), before Jesus the Messiah even appears. From seeing the Ark of the Covenant. "...and certain relics left by the families of Moses and Aaron." That is highly significant. Allah says there are objects inside it. "It will be borne by angels." Angels will protect it, says Allah. The Ark is currently hidden, under protection. "There is a sign for you in that if you are muminun." (Surat al-Baqara, 248) What is there evidence of? That the Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) are true, insha'Allah. Almighty Allah will show the Ark as evidence of Himself in that time. The Ark of the Covenant. It is made of rudus idaeus (acacia) wood. "...and certain relics left by the families of Moses and Aaron." It is full. There is one of those tablets that came down to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), and the staff of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Part of it, not the whole thing. There is clothing and a great many holy relics inside it. One feature of the Ark is that it preserves things. Allah has worked such a miracle, masha'Allah. The things inside it do not decay. Those objects are not the kind of things that could decay, anyway. They are not made of that kind of material. That wood does not decay. This is a literal description of the system of the Mahdi. Look, "Allah has chosen him over you." 1996. That is one date. The most difficult time of the system of the Mahdi, insha'Allah. With the gemination mark, it gives the date 2027, and that refers to global dominion. "Allah gives kingship to anyone He wills." Global sovereignty. To whom will He give that? To the Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah. Wealth and political power and everything, insha'Allah.
Talut was the mahdi of that time. Goliath was the dajjal. "And with Allah's permission they routed them." Abjad calculation gives a date of 2029. This is a miracle. Why not 3418, or 1515, or 4758? It gives 2029. "David killed Goliath." He slays the system of the dajjal, insha'Allah. "Allah gave him kingship and wisdom..." Sovereignty and wisdom, in other words, and fine speech. "and taught him whatever He willed... Allah shows favor to all the worlds."
2024 by abjad calculation. These verses are overflowing, masha'Allah.
"Those are Allah's Signs which We recite to you with truth." Almighty Allah says this. "You are indeed one of the Messengers." Almighty Allah tells our Prophet (saas) that he is one of the mahdis.
"...they said, 'We do not have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today'." This describes a moment of weakness. Abjad calculation gives a date of 1942. The time of the Second World War. The early years of the system of the dajjal. The worst times of the system of the dajjal. It gives a date of 1942.
"We gave Clear Signs to Jesus, son of Mary," 2017. "and reinforced him with the Purest Spirit."
"Anyone who rejects false gods and has faith in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
There is no weariness if you have grasped the book of Allah.
Surat al-Baqara is full of secrets. Not just one or two or ten.
"It will be borne by angels," says Allah. You can seek it all you like. Look, Israel is looking for it, those activities are under way now. The Masons and the Knights Templar are looking for it. The Israeli government has set aside a huge budget to find the Ark of the Covenant. Allah says He has protected it with angels. You cannot see it, even if it is right there before your eyes. You enter the cave and it is right there before you, it is covered in dust, but you cannot see it. "There is a sign for you in that if you are faithful." Nobody can ignore that evidence.
The Ark of the Covenant will be found in that time, after 3,000 years. In its original form. It is made of acacia wood and covered in gold. It has a special structure. There is a special green stone inside it. We will see that, too. It is a most unusual and fascinating chest. I can say that it will burn anyone who opens it, apart from the rightful owner. Special permission from Almighty Allah is needed to open it, insha'Allah. If someone opens the Ark without permission, electricity forming in it will stun them. The Ark has such a system within it. It is no ordinary chest. It was brought by the prophet Moses (pbuh). And it was what most upset Pharaoh because Pharaoh attached great importance to it.
The Ark bestows a feeling of ease. This is a huge miracle. People approaching it feel a relaxation in their nerves, as if a great weight had been lifted from them. This is a miracle. And it appears in the Qur'an, too. Almighty Allah says this quite explicitly: "...containing serenity from your Lord..." It bestows a feeling of security in people. They feel peace and security next to that chest.
The Philistines captured the Ark, but it brought them great trouble and affliction; the Philistines were pagans then. That is why it wrong to equate them with the Palestinians. Philistine is the name of a pagan people. It would be like us calling a Muslim Nimrod, or Pharaoh. They are the sons of Ishmael. They are descended from the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh).

The Johnston Center for Integrative Studies at the University of Redlands is one of the most distinctive undergraduate experiences you can choose. It is also one of the most challenging, rewarding and, for those who have experienced it, transformative programs in American higher education today.
If at all possible, students interested in the Johnston program should arrange a campus visit. This will be an opportunity to meet current Johnston students and faculty, learn more about courses and graduation contracts, and to really get a feel for the community. You can arrange a visit by contacting our Visit Coordinator.
Students should plan to apply to both the College of Arts and Sciences and to the Johnston program. You may apply concurrently, or you may first apply to the College of Arts and Sciences and then to the Johnston Center. You can apply as a freshman, transfer or international student.
See if Johnston is a good fit for you.
You must be admitted to the university before you can be admitted to the Johnston Center. The Johnston Center Supplement can be found here. The supplement cannot be submitted electronically, so please plan to mail or e-mail the form back to the Office of Admissions. You can e-mail your supplement to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once a student has been admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences, their application and Johnston Center Supplement will be reviewed by the Johnston Center Director. Applicants will be notified by mail of their Johnston Center admission decision.
Students who have been admitted to Johnston prior to Admitted Students Day will be invited to attend a special Johnston welcome session in the afternoon during the event. Students can also expect to receive special advising during fall orientation.
In order for you to apply to Johnston, you must fill out the Supplemental Application.
It is especially important for transfer students interested in the Johnston Center to plan a visit to campus or a phone interview to discuss the program. Students may find that not all of their credits will be transferrable to the Johnston Center program, or that graduation may take longer than it would in the traditional program. Meeting with a Johnston Center advisor can help clarify these issues for potential transfer students.

The exchange traded fund industry has been feted as offering low cost access to a wide range of investment opportunities. It has occasionally had its knuckles rapped for getting over-enthusiastic about short and leveraged products that may not track in the way investors expect. But generally, the plain vanilla FTSE 100 or S&P 500 ETFs have been seen as A GOOD THING.
Now along comes Watson Wyatt to throw a bucket of cold water on the ETF party. The consultant says institutional investors can get a better deal elsewhere. There are institutional index products with lower fees, a better tax structure, and less or no counterparty risk.

Want to set investors at ease? Host an analyst dayComments Email Print
An earnings release, while the most effective way to provide timely updates, can be a difficult platform for a company to fully discuss its long-term strategy.
The shorter term focus of the quarterly earnings release can be complimented by a well thought out analyst day and presentation.
The following factors are essential to executing an insightful analyst day:
An analyst day is one of the rare opportunities in a company's arsenal to have the overall investor base focused solely on its specific strategy, not those of other companies that may be reporting earnings on the same day.
Unlike the quarterly earnings call, an analyst meeting is not nearly as susceptible to short-term stock price volatility because short-term information is generally not addressed. Also, if schedules and budgets permit, the ability to host a casual event in conjunction with the analyst day is extremely helpful as it allows investors to receive more interaction with division or business group personnel that can provide a unique level of investor confidence. Finally, establishing a consistent trend of regularity and content is very valuable.
When hosting an analyst meeting, I recommend:
The greatest benefit to a well-constructed analyst day is developing an ownership argument in the mind of investors as well as providing a longer-term platform for ownership. The investment thesis that is developed can potentially garner higher earnings multiples, less severe reactions to negative news and greater credibility to future strategy changes.

Prize Recipient
James Silva
I was born in Hollywood, California on May 31,1986. I grew up in East Los Angeles where I attended Abraham Lincoln High School but I began to be attracted to science as a corollary to mathematics due to the fact that LAUSD curriculum for the first 7 to 8 grades contains little science material. At Lincoln High School I found that the science curriculum was richer and I became interested in Chemistry and Physics. About this time I stumbled upon a book on Richard Feynman and I became intrigued at how different he was from my preconceived notion of who a physicist was. Feynman was vibrant and energetic; he lived life with a passion. I felt like I could relate to Feynman and could only hope to become as accomplished as him. I started to self-study Calculus and became part of a chemistry research program at California State University, Los Angeles. I learned how research was conducted in academia and realized that it was something that I could pursue for the rest of my life. I am attending MIT in the fall where I plan to major in physics and hope to be involved in a few Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program projects.
I also enjoy skateboarding which has been a continuous part of my life for the last 9 years. Skateboarding allows me to take a break from the academic side of my life and just relax. The occasional injury while skateboarding is also a cathartic. I am a big fan of many different types of music. Music I enjoy include Guns N Roses, Beethoven, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and The Cure. I collect Vinyl records of 80s punk bands, and play guitar.

Peter Marshall to Play the Metropolitan Room in January
Peter Marshall, the five-time Emmy Award-winning host of The Hollywood Squares, who interrupted a career on Broadway to heed the call of Hollywood, returns to his showbusiness roots in a six-show major engagement at the Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd Street, in January. The January 11 to 14 run marks the entertainer's first club dates in New York since he appeared with his comedy-variety partner Tommy Noonan in the late 1950's.
"I am before anything else a singer and have been for many years," says Marshall, who is 86. "This is why it is so exciting to me to be coming back to New York to perform in a nightclub setting after all these years!"
Marshall, who broke into show business as an NBC page in 1941 and soon found work as a big band singer, traces his show biz lineage to the last era of American vaudeville at the dawn of the Golden Age of television. Like many well-known television entertainers of the era – Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, George Burns – Marshall cut his teeth performing in nightclubs in New York and throughout the country. Marshall and Noonan made this same transition, adding television variety shows and even films to their joint resume. The two made many appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Marshall, who was born in 1926 to a show business family (his mother was a costume designer and his older sister, Joanne Dru, was an actress), was a seasoned Broadway star by the 1960's. Before making his move to Hollywood Squares in 1966 (he was the host for 16 seasons until it went into syndication in 1981), Marshall also starred on the West End in a long run of "Bye Bye Birdie" with co-star Chita Rivera.
In the '80s Marshall starred in the national company of "La Cage aux Folles." His long stint with that production (over 800 performances) culminated on Broadway at the Palace Theater.
2013 will mark Marshall's 72nd year in show business. For his Metropolitan Room debut Marshall presents "And Then She Wrote," a show he premiered in June in Los Angeles. The show features important contributions to the Great American Songbook by women songwriters spanning ten decades.
In "And Then She Wrote" Peter Marshall supported by piano and bass and joined by the vocalists, Carol Welsman (a Juno Award nominee), and the Grammy nominee Denise Donatelli. Six shows only: Friday January 11 at 7pm & 9:30pm; Saturday January 12 at 7pm & 9:30pm; Sunday January 13 at 4pm, and Monday January 14 at 7pm. There is a $35 music charge and a two-drink minimum. For reservations call the Metropolitan Room at 212/206-0440 or to order online visit www.metropolitanroom.com.

Rihanna + Eminem Go 'Numb' on Hot New Track
Uh-Oh! It's looks like Rihanna's new album 'Unapologetic' has sprung a leak. First, we heard Rihanna and Chris Brown's infectious duet 'Nobody's Business' and now we get another collaborative smash with her destined club hit 'Numb,' featuring Eminem.
Rihanna has teamed up with Em before on the chart-topper 'Love the Way You Lie' and it looks like the dynamic duo may repeat that same success with 'Numb.' The song is a little controversial because it's an ode to feeling "numb" after taking drugs (or, metaphorically, after listening to Rihanna's music). Peep Ri-Ri's first verse, "Ecstasy in the air / I don't care / Can't tell me nothing / I'm impaired / The worst for wear."
The song bumps along on a slow groove of an Egyptian flute riff, a crashing bombastic beat and a warped sample from Kanye West's 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' ("Let the champagne smash / Let that man get cash").
But it's Eminem who steals the song from Rihanna with his tripped-out lyrics. He spits, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, come here dear / Trying to get closer to you / I'm motioning you to pull over boo / I'm the siren that you hear / I'm the butt police, and I'm looking at your rear, rear, rear." Call the police, we think this a murder rap.
While this may be an homage to getting high, you will feel numb with aural pleasure after listening to what we believe is going to be a big hit for Rihanna. Go ahead, get 'Numb.'

Assistant boss Gavin MacPherson has urged Met Police to take their pre-season form into the Ryman Premier League next week.
The Blues beat Blue Square Premier Braintree 2-0 on Saturday in a game that saw 24-year-old former West Ham United youngster Sos Yao find the net.
Boss Jimmy Cooper's men had beaten Fulham, Merstham and Fleet Town, and drawn with Godalming Town prior to the weekend, but lost their unbeaten record with a 3-1 defeat to Corinthian Casuals on
And MacPherson admitted his side had found the winning habit.
"I don't like losing any game, but the proof will be in the pudding in two weeks time," he said.
"Good habits are never a bad thing. It's important we remember what we do well and keep believing in that."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Ortega Village History
The Ortega neighborhood we know today got its start in 1906, when John N.C. Stockton's Ortega Company purchased 5,000 acres of land from U.S. Senator Wilkinson Call.
To spur development, Stockton constructed a wooden bridge over the Ortega River to connect the project to Jacksonville. As an incentive to purchase homesites, the Ortega Company promised no taxes and free water for a certain time period.
Between 1910 and 1930, Jacksonville's population exploded from 57,699 to 129,549. This surge in growth would have a lasting impact on several sparsely development communities along the Ortega streetcar line, including Ortega.
During the mid-1920s, Ortega Village developed at the streetcar's Cortez Park turnaround, providing centralized neighborhood commercial uses to the growing community surrounding it.
Ortega Village Today
Cortez Park is located just south of Ortega Village. It served as the "end of the line" or turnaround for the 1906 streetcar line extension through Riverside and Avondale, connecting Ortega with Downtown Jacksonville. Boy Scouts found it a popular ride to a good campsite and fisherman and crabbers enjoyed the day trips it afforded.
Oxford Place is one of only 25 flat iron-shaped buildings in the country. It was built by Marsh and Saxelbye in 1924 and was designed to look like an English Village in the Tudor style.
When this structure was completed in 1924, it was known as Faulkners Grocery Company and its windows displayed produce, banana stalks and sides of meat. Displays were changed on Sundays when cracker barrels and cookies were put in the windows to lure Sunday strollers. At Christmas, red and green sawdust was spread on the floor in lieu of ordinary sawdust.
Ortega Village is located where Corinthian Avenue intersects with Oxford Avenue and Baltic Street in the heart of the Old Ortega Historic District.

Heritage Crossing Redevelopment
Proposed Vision for Irving Boulevard - Downtown
Almost 48 acres of the 640-acre area, known as Heritage Crossing, has been aggregated for redevelopment. Heritage Crossing is bound by West Pioneer Drive, Britain Road, Shady Grove Road and MacArthur Boulevard. Thirty-eight of these acres are now gathered into 15 redevelopment sites located in two primary areas - the Irving Boulevard / Second Street corridor and along Delaware Creek.
Heritage Crossing Redevelopment Project
Plans continue for downtown Irving with the unveiling of a conceptual design and a proposal to build 100 new homes along
Delaware Creek
On Jan. 2, 2014, Vialta / Gateway Planning, a consulting group retained by City Council , unveiled a new conceptual design at a public meeting to offer residents a glimpse of the refined vision for Heritage Crossing. Courtesy of public input, bike lanes, 11-foot sidewalks to increase foot traffic and on-street parking for improved access to retailers are incorporated in the vision for the historic downtown area. Pending approval of the proposal, Heritage Crossing could become a regional destination.
Irving's downtown community, considered a prime location in the Metroplex, continues to attract interest from retailers and developers. Since 2006, 19 new businesses have joined the Heritage Crossing community; the iconic Griff's Hamburgers (located near the intersection of Strickland Plaza and Falcon Street) celebrated the grand opening of its renovated restaurant in July; and construction is near completion on a 5,700-square-foot QuikTrip convenience store at the northwest corner of Irving Heights and Irving Boulevard.
Public Input
As plans progress, public input opportunities will be scheduled for residents and business owners. For more information about public input opportunities or proposed developments, contact
Redevelopment Administrator Kevin Kass
at (972) 721-2251.

- "But my dear chap, do you know how much that's worth?"
- —Horace Slughorn commented to Hagrid upon seeing bunches of Unicorn hair hanging around Hagrid's cabin[src]
The hair from a unicorn can be used to comprise the core of a wand. It is also very strong and useful. Rubeus Hagrid collected it from the forest where it got caught up in trees and bushes and used it to bind bandages. As of early 1997, Unicorn hair was worth 10 Galleons a hair, according to Horace Slughorn.
The tail hair can be used in Potions.
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.[1]
Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.[1]
Known usesEdit
- In Garrick Ollivander's Wand Shop, the owner Mr. Ollivander was known to use unicorn hairs as one of his three cores; the others being dragon heartstring and phoenix feather.
- Hagrid collected stray hairs from the forest for use in bandaging magical creatures, due to its strength.
Known wandsEdit
The following wands have a unicorn hair core:
- Mary Cattermole's wand
- Cedric Diggory's wand
- Neville Longbottom's second wand
- Draco Malfoy's wand
- Quirinus Quirrell's wand
- Ron Weasley's first and second wand

Check out the picture below of the incoming members of the Politburo Standing Committee. Those ties! Those suits! That hair parting. If, as my colleagues point out today, the reduction in membership of China's ruling committee from nine to seven is "an effort to make collective decision-making less contentious and more efficient," this gives new meaning to the idea of sartorial unity.

COMMUNITY leaders in Wychavon have condemned a decision made to build two massive housing developments despite them being refused by local councillors.
The new housing estates at Yew Tree Hill, in Droitwich and Long Marston Airfield, near Pebworth, faced much local opposition, which was backed by councillors at Wychavon District Council who rejected both proposals.
But now appeals into both developments have been allowed by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
The first development in Droitwich concerns two applications for 765 homes and a 200 unit care facility to the south of Droitwich last year.
The plans were put forward by Barberry Droitwich Ltd for 500 homes and a care facility and from Persimmon Homes Ltd for 265 homes - all at land north of Pulley Lane and Newland Lane.
In Long Marston the development proposed by Codex Land Promotions Ltd adjacent to Sims Metals UK will include up to 380 homes and a large area of employment space.
Today Mid Worcestershire MP Sir Peter Luff blasted the decision saying he was "appalled".
"I condemn the opportunism of developers who have wickedly exploited the current position in Wychavon before the adoption of the South Worcestershire Development Plan.
"We need more houses locally, but they should be built where locally elected councillors decide after a process of local consultation, not at the whim of developers. Now Wychavon will be left to pick up a bill for many thousands of pounds of legal costs for daring to stand up for its people.
"The sickening drumbeat of a legalistic process has again drowned out the voice of democracy."
And Sir Peter was not the only one disappointed by the decision.
Paul Middlebrough, leader of Wychavon District Council, said: "We are extremely dismayed with the Secretary of State's decisions in respect of these planning applications and it does appear he has very little regard to the voices of our local communities in the planning system.
"Over the last year over 850 housing units were approved by the council in sustainable locations in the district, but these applications are in inappropriate locations.
"These unwelcome decisions will not affect our resolve to refuse poor development."

The Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) is a relatively new home financing option that nearly every home buyer can take advantage of. Thousands of home buyers across the U.S. are recognizing the benefits that this new mortgage option provides. Recognizing the obvious benefits of having an energy efficient home, more and more home buyers are utilizing this unique financing tool in order to increase their home's energy efficiency and lower their electric bills.
How Does an EEM Work?
An Energy Efficient Mortgage allows home buyers to qualify for larger home mortgage loans than they would have been qualified for otherwise. EEM's provide home buyers with excess funds to install energy efficient upgrades to their new home, thus making their homes more environmentally friendly and reducing their energy bills. Getting an EEM is a terrific way for home buyers to save money month after month while doing their part to decrease their impact on the environment at the same time.
Different Kinds of EEM
There are different kinds of EEM's to choose from and securing one is easier than many home buyers might believe. Known as "green" mortgages, most mortgage lenders offer three different types of EEM's:
- Conventional EEM: Most lenders who sell their loans to either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac offer conventional EEM's to new home buyers. This type of EEM allows homebuyers to borrow the appraised value of their home plus an additional 15% in order to make energy efficient home improvements.
- FHA EEM: A Federal Housing Administration EEM allows home buyers to borrow the appraised value of their home plus at least an additional $4,000-$8,000 or 5% of their home's appraisal value, whichever amount is less. This type of EEM may provide a lower mortgage than a conventional EEM, but it gives home buyers access to the FHA's wide range of financing options.
- VA EEM: A Veteran's Association EEM is very similar to an FHA EEM, but only past and present military personnel may take advantage of this particular mortgage option. Unlike an FHA EEM, a VA EEM grants a fixed amount of $6,000 regardless of the home's appraisal value.
What Does an EEM Pay For?
The additional money from an EEM is intended to be used only for energy saving improvements. Most homes lose their energy efficiency through improper insulation and cracks that allow hot or cold air to penetrate the home. Therefore, the additional funds received from an EEM usually go towards air sealing and insulation improvements.
In some instances, roof or chimney repairs, energy efficient windows, and new air conditioning systems can be covered by an EEM. In other cases, energy generation equipment, such as solar panels, can be added with EEM funds. However, these improvements usually cost more than the additional funds included in an EEM. Unfortunately, in most cases homebuyers cannot use the money from an EEM to choose what improvements they would like to undertake. All improvements made using an EEM must be suggested by the inspector in their HERS report.
Qualifying For a Green Mortgage
Most mortgage lenders work with secondary mortgage markets and insured programs like Fannie Mae and the FHA in order to provide EEM's for their clients. Most EEM's will differ from lender to lender, therefore prospective home buyers should talk to many lenders in order to find the EEM that is best for them. Qualifying for an EEM is simple and rarely a concern. Most homebuyers who qualify for a traditional mortgage qualify for an EEM as well. The only requirement needed to include an EEM with the traditional mortgage is making sure the improvements are cost effective. For example, if new energy efficient windows will cost $5,000 to install, then the energy savings from the new windows must be projected to at least equal the $5,000 it cost to install the windows.
This is where the HERS report becomes significant. For homebuyers of existing homes to qualify for an EEM, the energy-saving improvements must be verified by the HERS report. The report includes the current state of the home's insulation, windows, and appliances, as well as the area's climate and utility rates. It then details recommended improvements, the cost of the improvements, and the annual savings as a result of having the improvements done. Finally, the HERS report must state that having the improvements done will save the homebuyers money on their utility bills.
Surprisingly, buyers of new construction homes can also qualify for an EEM. The only requirement for buyers of newly constructed homes to enjoy the added benefit of an EEM is to have the builder certify that the home meets energy efficiency guidelines.
Energy Efficient Mortgages provide any home buyer the ability to have access to additional funds for making cost-saving improvements to their new home. Rather than having to use their savings, credit cards, or non-traditional funding with high interest rates, home buyers can have access to additional funds at the same low interest rate of a mortgage and make a single mortgage payment each month. With so many benefits and no apparent downside, it is not surprising that more and more home buyers are taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

You know Neutrogena for their skin care products, but did you know they make cosmetics too? Yes they do! Where have you been? Well, they have three new products that hit the shelves the month and I want to share them with you!
Neutrogena has just released their Crease Proof Eye Shadow, Healthy Lengths Mascara, and MoistureSmooth Color Stick.
Below you'll see me wearing Neutrogena MoistureSmooth Color Stick ($8.49) in Rich Raisin. As you can see it's one of those barely there colors. It goes on amazingly smooth and creamy like a lip balm. It's made with fruit extracts and with mango and shea butter (yum). It smells good too! It claims to instantly moisturize your lips (this is true) and continuously condition them so they're softer and smoother in just three days. It's available in eight shades: Juicy Peach, Fresh Papaya, Sweet Watermelon, Bright Berry, Warm Caramel, Soft Raspberry, Plum Perfect, and Rich Raisin.
Next I tried Neutorgena's Crease Proof Eye Shadow in Forever Platinum and Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara in Black Brown.
I'm always so skeptical when it comes to stick eyeshadows. But, the Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow ($8.49) was actually extremely easy to apply with its domed tip applicator, no brush was needed. It went on smoothly and evenly. It was created with a built-in primer that promises 12 hour wear (I didn't get to wear it that long) without creases or fading. It's created with an anti-oxidant rich formula including vitamin E to nourish and condition the eye area. It's available in six shades Stay Golden, Forever Platinum, Perfect Pink, Constant Copper, Lasting Taupe, and Stay-Put Plum.
Lastly, you'll see wearing Neutrogena's Healthy Lengths Mascara ($8.49). It's not dramatic, but actually like the names suggests offers healthy looking lashes. I put on a few coats without any clumping and I didn't have to curl my lashes (which I never do anyways). It did lengthen my lashes as you can see below. The formula is infused with Vitamin E and olive oil and claims to strengthen your lashes from the inside out. It has been ophthalmologist tested and is safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It's available in shades Carbon Black, Black, and Black/Brown.
I know these are brand new, but have you tried any of them? What do you think? Will you try them?

Hi ya
Outline:We are tossing up whether to advertise on FB through placing a sponsored post. The product is not actually part of our FB page so therefore we cannot create a FB ad. (please correct me if I am wrong).We have a separate website for the product <snip /> and we would like to get more exposure for this website.
Facebook came to mind. Our audience ages range from 18-60 years.
Queries:I have read pros and conds regarding paying for a 'sponsored post' and how it is modeled. We only have 200 likes on our page and I wondered whether you think this is a sufficient number to try a sponsored post.
Alternatively, we could create another category (tab) on our Facebook page but I'm not sure whether we can promote just a category of a FB page or whether we are required by FB to advertise a full FB page.
I'd be grateful for your advice.
Facebook is both a social and an advertising platform and while the two intersect, one does not drive the other. People come to interact with people & things they like while companies who advertise often want them to go elsewhere... it's an inverse equation and you need to understand that dynamic as it will impact your goal of external traffic.
That said, Facebook reaches a lot of people so using it as an ad platform isn't entirely bad thing and in fact it can be quite profitable marketing.
There is no requirement that something be on Facebook or that you even have a Facebook page to advertise. You can buy media on a CPC basis and point it to a url.
In terms of sponsoring content there are two three here. First we have promoted posts which just insure more visibility to your current fans. At 200 ans if your content is at all relevant you're already getting most of their attention so no need to worry about promoted posts, yet. Then there's sponsored stories which can reach connections, connections of connections or interest groups much like a sidebar except that it's in the stream and thus a premium rate. You can also grab a standard sidebar ad.
The win of Facebook is two fold: targeting and engaging. Targeting would allow you to reach people who mentioned NZ but didn't live there; hone in on their age, vocation, whatever... It's great reach but it gets fun when you use it to take people back to something on Facebook that they can do. Most people will never buy, clicking away is a distraction but if you can build up a reason to follow, that's big.
To be frank, if this was my business I'd spend more time on the site before advertising it, especially to an awareness driven audience. Perhaps a better route it to promote your Facebook page which I'd hope has more engaging content?
Hi there Ted
Many thanks for your feedback. Very helpful and insightful.
Your Face Book marketing will be strong by Branding,Fan page promotion, sharing likes,optimized profile ,creative pictures,strong and positive comments and Face Book ad campaign.
You can advertise an external page on your website or your Facebook page with a Facebook ad. There isn't a restriction in this regard. You simply have to follow their advertising guidelines. So the landing page must be relevant to the ad, you can't mislead people and the landing page cannot be a PDF document. If you follow these and other policies, you can advertise an external page. You don't even have to have a Facebook business page to use this feature.
Here are their policies,
I have created the ad in FB and have directed the link to the ad image to our FB 'About' page. Although all the information on our About page is not completely focussed on the ad info, I have placed the Ad info at the top of the about page so the ad will not appear deceiving. The text link in the ad directs to the actual website URL.
You can share your product information by joining groups in Facebook even you can also share your product information on the other Facebook pages related to your product.
Make sure that you are active, that you are always looking for new ways to get people to visit your Facebook page and hopefully do business with you.
Also share your facebook posts on twitter using tweets, this will help you to get extra traffic.

Of all the stories told at Wednesday night's Hall Of Fame affair, Ken Henfry's recollection of moving his parents out of their home in their dotage was something of a collector's item. Quite literally.
Ken was born the year after his father Ern returned to Perth after 84 games with Carlton - 82 of them as captain, including the victorious 1947 and not-so glorious 1949 grand finals. Essendon had been the Blues' opponent in both, a poignant coincidence for a man whose West Australian career spanned 28 years with the one club, Perth, which also wears red and black.
Sorting through his parents' wardrobe years later, downsizing for their move in with he and his wife, Ken came across two old football guernseys, black with a red sash. He presumed they were Perth jumpers, wondered why his Dad still had them, and tossed them in the bag of clothes destined for the charity shop.
A few months later, a friend of Ern's from Melbourne rang and told Ken that Dick Reynolds had passed away. Ken had grown up seeing photos of Reynolds and his father, opposing captains in those grand finals, in frames around the house. "They got on very well."
"This fellow said, 'I know your Dad's got two jumpers of Dick's hanging in the wardrobe, that they swapped after those grand finals. Get them over here, we'll organise a raffle, give the money to charity, it'll be a great way to celebrate something Dick and your Dad shared'," Ken Henfry says.
"And I thought, 'Oh no, that's not going to happen.'"
He laughs now to think of a couple of strangers playing footy in the park, as he and his Dad had done, blisfully unaware of the treasure on their backs.
Memorabilia expert Rick Milne says that when it comes to Australian football collectibles, "it's (John) Coleman, then daylight, then (Jack) Dyer, then Reynolds". He estimates a jumper worn by Reynolds in a grand final would fetch $10,000. "Absolute minimum. On a good day 20," Milne says.
Milne says such stories aren't uncommon, but reckons this one is "a pearler". Hoping to make Ken Henfry feel better, he recalls rugby league "king" Wally Lewis wearing his very first jumper, from his early days at the Valleys in Brisbane, while painting the house. "It had holes in it, paint all over it."
Ken Henfry isn't groaning, "what if?", although his daughter wondered on Wednesday night if someone might have been sitting at home watching on television and thinking, "That guernsey I got a few years ago at the charity shop ..."
"Someone's probably still got them," Ken says. "Oh well, charity's the loser there."
The Henfrys had been expecting a lower-key affair than the Hall Of Fame gala, and were touched to see Ern acknowledged in such company. Before returning to Perth they will go to Friday night's Geelong game hoping for a happy outing, and know how special the Blues were to Ern, who died in 2007 aged 85.
Attending a function at Princes Park in the late 1960s, Ken realised how revered his father was. "John Nicholls came up and said how much he'd admired Ern and loved watching him play when he was a child.

Media and Prejudice on Youth
- 12 Articles
"This thing is only just saw a TV program, a vision, a view, our interpretation of reality. It is a truth, but not the only one. We choose what to tell you, select images and testimonies, as do the media, a fact that building the news. Media should be responsible for what they say, as we are responsible for what we say in this program. "Final sentence of Television Program Discussion Media "In the Middle", Led by Gisela Busaniche. Argentina. Canal Encuentro. 2009.
As a result of globalization, we see emerge as the leading telecommunications power supply current. Clusters take advantage of their monopoly over the means of expression to "create" reality that favors their interests. One of the key that was affected by youth. This is often stereotyped, bringing down most cruel generalizations. Just look at the case of protests by students in Chile as a case example. The national media only made echo of incidents caused by small groups unconnected to the peaceful protests of the students (in a country where families are indebted to the head to ensure an education that the State does not guarantee a system that its president considered fair). International media only showed the "sitting" in the style of M. L. King opposite the Ministry of Education in Santiago. They said that Chileans were to learn the Argentine media for the violence used by police against demonstrators. The most reproduced in the world perhaps the esteoritipar of youth as "vague", "addict" and "violent". This image, which came up with the neoliberalism of the 90's, was extended on the basis of the representations that gave multinational media: always young in the style of "American" watching MTV (there is nothing wrong with that), or the destructor for the institutions, or an overly consumerist, and worse, lationamerica common, that of a violent and prone youth addictions that society does nothing. The latter, we can see in the attached video media in my country, is used for purposes as perverse as discuss a possible return to the "Military Service" in Argentina. I do not deny that these problems exist, but do not accept that I included in any of these views ignorant, who erased a fundamental principle of human: to be as we want to be. In addition, we must think seriously about what interests may be behind only provide some visions of "future-society people." They are doing a lot bigger. In my country, for example, passed a new law Comunicaión Audiovisal trying to avoid media concentrations, making them democratic. This law was taken as exemplary by the UN. But despite this, several groups are already launched measures (with judges who collaborated with the latest civil-military dictatorship in my country, incidentally) to avoid possible deconcentrations their big monopolies.

Brenda Huettner: Expanding role of multimedia in Tech Doc
Brenda Huettner shares exciting developments in how graphics, especially video, are replacing traditional text-oriented training steps. Huettner observes that many "static" screen grabs are being replaced by intelligent software simulations, like the ones that she creates with Adobe Captivate. The lines between video production and traditional "tech doc" continue to blur.

THE proud moment a Taunton couple announced their engagement almost 100 years ago is captured forever in this photo.
But it was one of the last pictures taken of Douglas Aplin before he became one of the 103 soldiers whose deaths in the First World War is marked on the war memorial at St James' Church.
As the centenary of the start of the conflict in 1914 approaches, a group at the church is researching the men who made the ultimate sacrifice, who were aged from their teens to their late 30s and mostly lived in the Priory and North Town area.
Jenny Wakefield, from St James's, said: "We want to put more meaning into the time-honoured annual pledge to 'remember them'.
"From information in the public domain, we've already been able to build up profiles of many of the men, including some photographs, and they are beginning to appear on the website at http://www.tauntonstjameswarmemorial.org.uk/"
The photo of Douglas Aplin, who died in 1917, was supplied by family member Neal Aplin and other families have also provided information.
Anyone with any information, photos, stories or other material should e-mail Nic Tall at firstname.lastname@example.com or by post to War Memorial Project, St James' Church Office, St James' Street, Taunton, TA1 1JS.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Saint Leo volleyball team is still on the hunt for their first Sunshine State Conference victory as the Lions fell on the road to Eckerd College 3-1 (25-17, 22-25, 25-17, 25-22) on Friday evening.
It proved to be a match that was much closer than the final scores indicated as the Lions (6-5, 0-3 SSC) played the host Tritons point-for-point at the early parts of each set. In each game, it was the same story repeated as Eckerd (9-5, 3-0 SSC) managed runs of at least four-straight points that tilted the game, and ultimately the match, in their favor.
In set two it was the Lions who benefitted from the big run as four-straight points for the Green and Gold broke an 8-8 score in favor of Saint Leo. It was a run that was too few for the Lions in the remainder of the match as last year's regional finalists went on to claim the victory.
The Tritons converted their possessions into points as they hit at a .314 clip while the Lions could only manage a .188 attack average through the match. It was the Lions who were more accurate than their hosts with 20 miscues while Eckerd committed 21 errors.
Three Lions reached double figures in kills with Lauren Campbell as well Tawni Warren each posting 12 and Meghan Donovan adding 10. Warren added 16 digs in her double-double effort. In the primary setter role, Jaclyn Mailoto notched 38 assists.
Lindsay Biggs dominated for the Tritons with 20 kills and a .378 average. Ali McAlvany was right behind her with 17 kills.
The Lions will have just a day off before they travel to Tampa, Fla. to face 7th-ranked Tampa on Saturday afternoon. Things will get started from the Bob Martinez Sports Center on the UT campus at 4:00 p.m.

I am not really trying to make a game currently as i feel i am still way too inexperienced in pygame and the process of game programming.
So i was trying to think of ideas of exercises to accomplish small goals to get accustomed to pygame and game programming in general. Ideas from other users to do would be greatful. Mainly exercises that get the point across of one thing in pygame, not this and that going on that would confuse the user of the exercise.
I'll come up with more, but it takes awhile for to think of them, i just figured if i ask the community, then i'll obtain the ideas of an exercise quicker.
So far my pygame exercise list contains:
1) character movement in all 4 directions
2) character movement in all 4 directions and 45 degree directions
3) bouncing a ball back and forth between the edges of the screen
4) animate through the frames of a spritesheet using Surface.subsurface to get each frame
5) rect collision detection
6) mask collision detection
7) create a main menu system
8) using GIMP or the like, create an image, expand its layer to a spritestrip, duplicate the image, and modify each, to make a usable spritesheet
9) make a button, with highlighted color/image when mouse over button
10) make a progress bar
I mean each one seems vital to all games
I was trying to think of exercises to get accustomed to using pygame.font, and working with rects positions on a more basic level, working with alpha layers,
