Popular Arabic words and phrases for Dubai expats
By Samar Owais · September 21, 2012
With the expat community making up over 80% of Dubai's population (Source: World Fact Book ), it's no wonder that expats go for days without listening to any Arabic being spoken. With such a large expat population, everyone's preferred language of communication is English.
Even the expats who've lived here for years or decades still don't understand enough Arabic to follow a conversation. When asked about it, they claim that they never felt the need to. Even expat children who were born and educated in the UAE don't know Arabic.
That said, most expats learn a few common words and phrases that they use every now and then in their conversation.
Below is a list of 20 popular words and phrases almost all expats know and use.
1. Khallas
Khallas means 'finished'. It can also mean stop, end, enough etc. It's one of those words that can be and is used in every situation.
Example: Khallas! I'm done talking about this.
2. Maafi Mushki
Another Arabic term that's used often. It means 'no problem'.
People say it when you thank them, when you ask them for a favour or make a request.
Example: Sorry about being late. Response: Maafi mushkil!
3. Habibi
Habibi in Arabic means 'friend' and is often used in conversation – both formally and informally. It's one of those words that can be used in any situation – when genuinely calling someone a friend, when fighting or even when being sarcastic!
The closest English word of Habibi I've come across is 'Dude'.
Example: Thanks, habibi!
Example 2: Get out of my face, habibi.
4. Hala
The first time someone said Hala to me, I thought they were addressing me by someone else's name. Little did I know that the person was saying Hi to me in Arabic slang!
Hala is considered an informal way of saying hello. Ever since that day, I've equated 'Hala' to 'Holla!'. Not the best association but it works for me and never fails to remind me that the person saying it to me is being friendly.
Example: Hala! How's it going?
5. Assalam Alaikum
Assalam Alaikum is a formal greeting in Arabic. It means 'Peace be upon you'.
Example: Assalam Alaikum! How are you?
6. Walaikum Assalam
Walaikum Assalam means '…and Peace be upon you too' and is said in response to Assalam Alaikum.
Example: Walaikum Assalam! I'm fine, thanks. How are you?
7. Insha'Allah
Insha'Allah is one of those words that is used in abundance in conversations all over Dubai irrespective of whether it's a local, expat, arabic or non-arabic speaking person.
Insha'Allah means 'God willing' or 'If God wills it'.
Example: I'll see you tomorrow, Insha'Allah.
8. Masha'Allah
Explaining the meaning of Masha'Allah is a little difficult as it's used in myriad ways. The closest translation is 'Allah has willed it'.
It's mostly commonly said when admiring or praising something.
Example: Oh Masha'Allah! That's great!
9. Ahlan Wa Sahlan
Ahlan Wa Sahlan is probably the first phrase expats hear when landing in Dubai. It means welcome.
This is not the welcome one says in response to 'thank you' though. This is used in response to welcoming someone in your home, party or country etc.
Ahlan Wa Sahlan is usually used as a stand alone phrase.
10. Marhaba
There are a number of words for saying hello in Arabic. Marhaba is one of them.
Example: Marhaba! How are you?
11. Masalamah
Masalamah means 'goodbye' in Arabic. While there are other words that mean goodbye too, this one is the easiest to learn.
Example: See you later. Masalamah!
12. Shukran
If you want to say 'Thank you' or 'Thanks' in Arabic, Shukran is the word you want to use.
And should you want to say 'No, thanks.' in Arabic, say 'La, shukran'.
Example: Shukran! That's very kind of you.
Example 2: La shukran, I don't want any.
13. Mabrook
If you want to say congratulations to someone in Arabic, say 'Mabrook'.
Example: Mabrook! I'm so happy for you!
14. La afham
Having been mistaken for an Arab quite a few times in Dubai and having people start a conversation in Arabic with me, I thought adding this phrase would be prudent.
La afham means 'I don't understand'. It's also useful for when you run into someone who only speaks Arabic and you have difficulty communicating.
Example: Sorry, la afham.
15. Min Fadlak
If you ever want to say please in Arabic, say Min fadlak. Keep in mind though that the pronunciation changes a bit when addressing a female.
If you're saying please in Arabic to a female, say Min Fadlik.
How to use these words in your conversations
The above words and phrases are ones that get their message across even if you say them without attaching them to a sentence. Even then, if you're unsure of how to use them in your conversation, pay attention to how other people use these words in their sentences. Shouldn't take you long to figure out what context to use them in!

Left-handed reliever Michael Gonzalez, who the Milwaukee Brewers acquired in free agency this past off-season, recently put together his best outing of Spring Training.
Gonzalez has struggled in two games this spring, but has been as good as advertised in his other five appearances. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke was glad to see Gonzalez put together a complete outing in which the 10-year veteran mixed his pitches together well with good velocity.
"Better," Roenicke told Brewers.com. "I thought the ball came out a lot better. He threw some good sliders, threw some nice changeups. So, I was encouraged by his outing."
The 34-year old, who is playing for his sixth team, has surrendered four earned runs on eight hits in seven appearances this spring. He has only struck out four batters and his opponent batting average is .320, but Milwaukee is confident he will be able to continue pitching at a high level once the regular season begins.
Considering the Brewers had a Major League-worst 4.66 bullpen earned run average in 2012, it is good to see Gonzalez pitch three consecutive outings without giving up a run. It is important that the veterans in the bullpen are able to pitch consistently during the regular season to set a good example for the rest of the relievers.
Gonzalez posted a 3.03 ERA with 39 strikeouts and seven holds in 47 appearances for the Washington Nationals last year. The Brewers were lucky enough to sign him to a one-year, $2.2 million contract to bolster their bullpen.

Gavita Master Controllers
Gavita e-series ballasts no longer require a switchboard to be switched on and off and no longer need their own switch to dim or boost them. Now you can just touch a few buttons on your controller to be in complete control of all your connected ballasts at once. Our Master controllers do this, and much more! The Gavita EL controller series currently comprises of two models: The EL1 and EL2. Both feature auto-dim, auto-shutdown, sunrise/sunset and timer. The EL1 has one output channel, while the EL2 has 2 output channels and additional outputs for External Contactor Modules and alarm contacts. For one room without auxiliary equipment or alarm contacts, the EL1 is the best choice for you. If you require switched auxiliary equipment during lights on/off, alarm contacts and/or a 2 room 12/12 setup, the EL2 is most suitable.

Asian Garlic Sauce
READY IN: 8mins
Recipe by gailanng
From About.com...a garlicky sauce is a great way to add extra flavor to stir-fry dishes, particularly seafood dishes. The seasonings for garlic sauce are available in the international food section of many local supermarkets. Use the sauce in stir-fry dishes or any other Asian type dishes. Note: Instead of using 2 types soy sauce, I just use 2 tablespoons dark.

To start of the week's news, I wanted to pose a question to the HMC audience. Aaron L. posed a great question in the comments earlier today. His vehicle has around 185,000 miles and rust is starting to creep onto his car. He was wondering how all of the high-milers out there mitigating the oncoming rust-storm? Do you have any strategies or tips? How to do you handle the eventual repairs? Do you take your car to an expert? Use the comments down below to discuss rust. I eventually plan to create a list of high-mile techniques that we can use to keep our cars running to a million and beyond. I plant o put it next to the hall of fame.

User talk:JamesAnderson
Use this page to discuss things with me about some of the topics below that I have an interest in seeing happen with the FamilySearch Research Wiki.
Soliciting your opinion
Hey James, will you weigh in on "Local Histories" or "Histories" heading on county pages? I want to reach consensus on this quickly in order to get a big missionary team engaged in FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Linking to Books in the BYU Family History Archives. Thanks in advance! Ritcheymt 13:46, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Search Engine Optimization and the FamilySearch Research Wiki
Making sure that one can find content in the FamilySearch Wiki and having updates appear in search engines within a day or two after they are either first put on the Wiki or the page update has been made. There are some problems at the present, as I've heard a report that Google only spiders the site about once every 15 days at present. Given the frequency the site is updated, it should be happening at least every other day. What can be done to make that happen?
Messages from others
Hey James, thanks for the message on my User Talk page about the Maryland Maps search results from Google! You're awesome! Ritcheymt 15:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
James, thanks for the message about the ISBN glitch! Ritcheymt 21:31, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you James! I had actually already used that interment.net information on the Washington County page. Those cemeteries on that page are from various transcriptions, most are from findagrave but there are a few surprises in there. I appreciate your interest! Thank you. Michael's right! You're awesome!
Familyjournals 03:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC
Thank you for placing the LDS forms topic on the agenda for today. It is a small matter, but one of sensitivity. Having only LDS ordinance-specific forms inadvertently sends an inaccurate message about the focus of the wiki. There ARE tools that are designed specifically for use by Latter-day Saints, but (as I understand it anyway) this tool is meant to be very universal.
Thanks also for the domain name search idea you mentioned in last week's meeting. I would never have thought of that, but am better prepared for an event this weekend as a result. Eirebrain 19:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Customer Email And Out Of Office Replies...
Lounge By Kiddiekakes Updated 7 Nov 2011 , 5:03pm by Kiddiekakes
Does anyone know whether the email actually stays in the customers email box when you get an automated reply that they are out of the office...I sent an email to a good customer reminding her of upcoming birthdays and the email system sent me an automated reply saying she was out of the office until Nov 16th but what I want to know is does she still get the original email I sent??
Yes, the email will be there when she gets back, or when she checks her email. I use that feature a lot, even if I'm going to be checking my email.
Thanks Elcee I appreciate your response!!

Discussion about educational provision for children with learning difficulties has largely ignored the voices of those for whom that provision is intended. Experiences of Special Education argues that these 'insider perspectives' are of central importance for a fuller understanding of special educational needs policy.
Bringing a unique focus to the subject of special needs education, Derrick Armstrong reassesses the history of special educational policy through the life-stories of those who have first-hand experience. These stories contest official policy discourses and inform an understanding of the competing political and professional debates in this area, allowing the reader to:
- Investigate the social and historical contexts of special educational needs policy
- Challenge traditional notions of policy research
- Explore alternative policy discourses informed by the voices of the excluded.
This thought-provoking book is based on detailed case-study analysis of the experiences of over thirty adults who attended special institutions/schools between 1994 and the present. It provides a fresh perspective on current discussions of special educational provisions for teachers, student teachers, policy makers and academics, involved in special education.

'They've missed the bus on teacher training'
In particular they are demanding a searching probe of the way initial training, the new probationary year and ongoing staff development should combine to produce quality teachers. "There has to be a recognition that the TEIs cannot do it all," Professor Douglas Weir, dean of the education faculty at Strathclyde University, told The TES Scotland.
A meeting last week of the Scottish Teacher Education Committee and the General Teaching Council for Scotland was said to have given a "cool" response to proposals from the Executive for a series of changes, summarised by one of the participants as no more than a "quick fix".
Others accused the Executive of taking a "heavy-handed" approach to hearsay allegations about the shortcomings of the TEIs.
A paper from the Executive, seen by The TES Scotland and which is likely to lead shortly to a ministerial announcement, suggests three key areas for action and says these would require "persuasive argument" not to be included.
The areas for action are improvements in student teacher placements in schools, more effective partnerships between authorities and the TEIs and the need for TEI staff to have more "recent and relevant" experience of the classroom.
The Executive has also identified three other areas on which it wants action - managing pupil behaviour, improving the use of technology in teaching and learning and preparing teachers to deal with special needs pupils in mainstream classes.
The Executive's proposals do not rule out a deeper review of initial teacher education following the Green Paper to be issued later this year. It is intended to kick off a "great debate" on the naure and purpose of teaching. But the Executive says it "requires a clear picture of how teachers are educated at present to enable informed decisions to be made".
Ministers plan to use management consultants to carry out the review, but the whole approach was derided by Professor Gordon Kirk, dean of education at Edinburgh University. Since the Scottish Executive Education Department has approved all the competences and programmes for teacher education, he says, "it is difficult to see how it can plead ignorance about what it has approved."
Professor Kirk says difficulties with partnership and student placements in schools, for example, have arisen because the arrangements are inadequately resourced and the ability of schools to handle planned increases in trainee teacher numbers must be in question. "You don't need consultants to tell you that," he said.
Professor Weir and Professor Bart McGettrick, dean of education at Glasgow University, believe a much clearer recognition is needed of the respective roles of initial training, probation and continuing professional development (CPD). "There should be a new dimension which emphasises the importance of teachers' professional values and personal commitment," Professor McGettrick said. "That must then flow into CPD." He felt the document represented "missed opportunities ".
Professor Weir said TEIs should be expected to concentrate on "a small number of key topics on which there is agreement that the beginning teacher should be rock solid".
He added: "We might even find that these programmes are based round sociology and psychology, which have been dirty words in some circles. But a well-grounded course in sociology, emphasising pupil interaction and classroom dynamics, could address issues of classroom behaviour and pupil management, while a good course in developmental psychology would lend itself to improving learning support."

Making forms Responsive?Asked by thenbman on November 07, 2014 at 02:17 PM
Hi there,
I've been trying to enter the form competition for a bit of fun, however as I usually do when using jotform, I run into problems as regards using the tools to make them responsive.
Jotform works perfectly fine on desktop, but hopeless on mobile phones. Even though in preview it looks to work in practice it doesn't once you look on the devices (I use Sony Android).
I looked at the questions section and it has been raised before this question and the answer was to use embed with an iframe, I've done that and still it doesn't make any difference, is there a way round this??
Thank you,
JotForm Support
Hi Nigel,
I checked your jotform http://www.jotformeu.com/form/43104944335350 on the website and I can see it not being responsive
unlike when you just use the direct URL http://www.jotformeu.com/form/43104944335350 whick is responsive
Can you also try this process
1. Add the Mobile Responsive Widget into your jotform
2. Re-embed the form to the website using the default embed script
After doing this process, check the form on the website using your Android browser.
Inform us if this did not make any difference or if issue persist.
Hi Jonathan,Thank you for your quick response. Yeah I've just used the direct URL, widgets remind me too much of CMS stuff ;)
Thanks again,Nigel
Hi Nigel,
In my colleagues name you are welcome.
Do let us know if you have any further questions and we will be happy to help.
Best Regards,

Happy Holidays! Or at least that's what seems to be the case here at UAT now that our Christmas Decorations are already lining the railings and covering the front desk. It isn't even Thanksgiving quite yet and we already have a Christmas tree!
Just the other day we had a Christmas cookie baking event over in Founder's Hall. They made their own frosting and everything. Unfortunately I was busy working on my own project for ART233, Concept Art:
The Holidays may be incoming, but I'm still keeping busy with school work for the next 4 weeks we have left in the fall semester. As the semester winds down the work ramps up. Hopefully I'll find more time to flex my extracurricular creativity "muscles" by making some stuff for the 3D printer and working on some animations for Animation Club.
At least this week I also get to look forward to the release of Super Mario 3D World!
Luckily with the Xbox One releasing tomorrow as well I won't have to worry too much about the game being sold out! With a few friends joining me, I'll be enjoying the brand new 1080p 4-player 3D Mario experience I have been waiting months for! Also releasing tomorrow (though I'll have to wait for a bit to buy it) is The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, a sequel to A Link to the Past, which puts Link back into the top-down style many of the original Zelda games were known for. This time Link has the ability to turn into a "Living Painting" which allows him to get to many areas not accessible by foot (including the world of Lorule, Hyrule's dark mirror world).
There'll be plenty of games to look forward to over the next month, and hopefully I'll find plenty of time over the holidays to play them! Thanks for reading and have a great holiday season!

The New Statesman, an online row and some clarifications
This week I have found myself embroiled in a row that seems to have stretched across the blogosphere but had its focal point on Twitter and the New Statesman. Anyway, last night I discovered there was a whole dimension to the row that I didn't even know existed, and I felt quite upset that people thought I may have defended or endorsed or supported things that I didn't know about and would never have thought to be appropriate. So am going to write my side of the picture as it were, because if you can't clear things up on your own blog, then where can you?
If you weren't following the row then this post will bore you to tears so I recommend reading the last para and then skipping to the next post to sign a letter to the government protesting the cuts to domestic violence support services.
Right – are you sitting comfortably? I'll begin.
On Tuesday, Steve Baxter wrote his weekly blog on the New Statesman about the closure of the Daily Sport. He welcomed the soon-to-be redundant staff to the 'clean world' and blogger and tweeter Quiet Riot Girl (QRG) extrapolated from this that he was saying sex was dirty. I posted something at that point about how the Sport was to sex what it was to sport. Anyway, the sex is dirty post wound Steve up and he wrote a sweary, angry tweet which popped up on my feed. I replied:
'uh-oh! what a nightmare. so ridiculous, but just try and ignore her, easier said than done. i know i always feed trolls!'
I then popped over to the NS blog to see that QRG had made an insinuating and rather unpleasant comment about a blog post I had written. It didn't name me, but just as she felt that Steve's angry tweet was about her, I understood this comment to be about something I had written.
I was pretty angry. Very angry. And there were a couple of things I could have done. I could have ignored it (prob the best course, but I am me). I could have challenged it on the comments thread, but felt this would derail a post that was already veering off the rails. So I did the silly thing and went and whinged on Twitter, tweeting Ropes to Infinity who had written a similar blog post to the one being bad-mouthed in her comment.
@stebax her second comment seems to either be alluding to me or @RopesToInfinity what do you think RTI? You or me? Or both? either way, it
... @stebax @RopesToInfinity COMPLETELY misrepresents my post and makes either you or me sound pretty unpleasant. Ugh. what a pain.
@stebax @RopesToInfinity i am not going to comment, i am not going to comment, i am not going to comment...but really! so bloody rude.
In the meantime, Steve and RTI made some amusing tweet jokes about what-about-ery and soup, which I thought rather amusing. Something about how if you liked cream of chicken then you were oppressing minestrone. Or something. Remember this – I come back to it later.
So, got it off my chest and that was the end of that.
Or so I thought…
I then got an @ message saying I'd be outraged if the tweets going round had been written about anyone else. Deciding that I should really stop talking about another person on Twitter behind their back, I sent a DM in reply saying that I felt QRG had written untrue things about me and that I was putting this in a DM because:
'i have been guilty of talking about her online before and i recognise that was a bit mean and immature of me'
Bored yet? I wouldn't blame you if you were. But I am putting the record straight.
In the meantime I noticed on the NS thread that the commenter was writing a complaint to the New Statesman about Steve's tweet. Now, I like Steve and I respect him. I commented that I didn't think you could complain about something said in a personal capacity on Twitter to a publication. I said that because I think it's true. I might be wrong. My boss wrote a rude tweet about a Giles Coren article once. In response, Giles Coren tweeted '@*** suck my dick fat boy'. I don't think my boss could have complained to the Times about it. It doesn't mean I was defending either tweet.
And that was the end of that.
Or so I thought…
A while later I got an @ message saying:
a well made point from *that* NS article: "@Sianushka you're a FEMINIST defending MEN who've dragged a woman through the mud as a troll...
This comment really upset me. And it made me think. Actually, venting on Twitter is immature. It is something we all do, but perhaps me bitching about that comment online with other people did come across as me ganging up on QRG. I felt bad, and I was sorry that I had behaved in an undignified and petty manner.
So I did what all right-thinking people would do. I apologised. I went on the NS comments thread, virtually stood up and said sorry for being immature and talking about someone behind their back online, and making jokes at their expense. I really hope that my apology was accepted because it was and still is sincerely meant. I was behaving a like a numpty and an apology was called for.
And that kind of was the end of that. But because I am nosy and can never leave well enough alone, I popped over to QRG's blog which was linked to on the NS comments thread to see what she had to say about the whole debacle. And then I saw these nasty, horrible tweets that made unnecessary, personal and offensive comments about her sexuality in lieu of arguing with her, for example, political or theoretical views.
That's why I am writing this post. Because I do not want anyone to think that I was defending or supporting or endorsing those tweets. I'm sure people don't, but because people were upset by some things I said, I was concerned I had been grouped with the people who were slagging off someone's sexual preferences.
It is never ok to use someone's sexuality against them as a way to undermine and criticise them. I say this because it should just be a basic truth, and also because I have been on the receiving end and know how stupid it is. I have been called a lesbian online, (I'm not), have had people 'joke' online that because I have an anti porn and sex industry stance that I must think that you should only have 'vanilla' sex with someone you love, and have been asked publicly online what I use to 'get myself off' seeing as I don't watch porn. All pretty stupid, all pretty unpleasant. And just three of the reasons why I feel very strongly that a woman's or man's sexuality should not be used as a tool to mock or criticise them, or even be speculated on by complete strangers, or friends, or anyone, online or offline.
So I hope that clears that up. I never saw those tweets before last night and I utterly, utterly condemn them.
Also on her blog she quoted a tweet Cath Elliott sent to me and Steve saying:
@stebax @sianushka Haha, just caught up. *salutes @stebax* for tweet of the year ;)
Now, I thought that this tweet was about the soup jokery. QRG thought it was about the sweary tweet. We could both be wrong, one of us could be right. But it does show how easily things can be misinterpreted on Twitter to cause upset (I told you the soup tweets would return!).
That's that anyway.
Now part 2: derailing, banning and nonsense
It has come to my attention that someone has been tweeting and posting on blogs that they have been banned from my blog, and that I only want to be surrounded by 'yes men'. Seeing as this is a post about clearing things up, I would like to clarify that this is not true. I didn't publish two comments on my blogpost regarding the Daily Mail's reporting of gang rape as I felt they were derailing and possibly triggering. The comments ended up on another blog and an interesting debate happened there. I have a moderation policy that I use as a guide, because I went through a period where I got a lot of abuse and wanted to make it clear that on my blog, I write about what I want to write about. However, I regularly post comments that break my mod policy, and don't have anything on my mod policy that says 'you will not be allowed to post if you disagree with me'. So unless you're the person who physically threatened me, or informed I would burn in hell for having a gay mum, no-one is banned. And seeing as I can't remember their names, those people aren't really banned either.
Right, that is all. Lets draw a line under this whole silly out of hand debate.
Thank you and good night.

Sianushka - if you wanted to 'clarify' matters why couldn't you refer
a) to me by name (being called 'she' or 'the commenter' in this context when everyone knows it is me is frankly not very nice)
b) give links to the article/blogposts in question so people have context e.g. as my post does:

as for cath Elliott's 'tweet of the year' comment it was obviously aimed at Steve's original tweet insulting me. She would not have read the whole boring soup joke blah.
Also she has had days to disassociate herself from the bullying, which I have clearly described on my blog and she has not said a word.
When I write to the Orwell Prize I will mention her, Steven Baxter and David Allen Green as being involved in the nasty behaviour.
If you'd been on the longlist I would have mentioned you too but you're not.
It is not up to you when to 'draw a line' under this.
I haven't finished.

Well I think that you are completely and utterly wrong and misguided on the important issue of semi-liquid foodstuffs! There is no soup more fundamentally soup-like than French Onion soup, and by talking about any other kind of soup you are obviously ignoring this crucial and seminal truth! Now publish this if you dare, you cream of chicken quisling!
On a less lofty note, I'm amazed at the tenacity of some people on-line. All successful blogs have them - regular, frequent commenters, not quite outrageous enough to be instantly dismissed as deliberate trolls. They seem to have an almost preternatural talent for derailing any and all discussion, by showing just enough intellectual plausibility to always get taken seriously by someone, and elicit a response.
It's annoying and draining enough when it's that one FB "friend" who has to comment on every status and start an argument among your friends. But there is this small group of people - celebrities, really, because most regular readers of liberal blogs can probably name a few - who manage to occasionally derail not just threads, but what feels like the whole damn internet. If it wasn't so infuriating, it'd be admirable.
I wish I could learn from them and turn every mildly sexist post or status I come across into a passionate debate about feminist issues instead! Maybe we should have a panel about that at some future blogging workshop... :)

hi elly,
sorry i didn't mention your name. I did debate whether to, but was concerned that it might be a bit confrontational or that you might feel like it was getting a bit much, because of all the different talking and to-ing and fro-ing that had been going on. So, was just a way to be polite really but seeing as i've heard from you i will go back and put your name where i've said she or commenter - that's no probs!

P.s. My comments about how bloggers/journos present 'rape porn' were not about you or Jonathan specifically but the whole of the 'liberal' and 'feminist' press and blogosphere. It was a coincidence that you two had written on the subject recently. I will blog about this subject and you may or may not see what I mean.
Honestly it was not a dig at you. I would have mentioned your blog if I was referring specifically to you.

The reason I mentioned to you that I thought the NS comment was a well made point was because (in conversation with Baxter) you had referred to QRG as a troll and to his vent as "V. funny". It wasn't my intention to upset you Sian and I thought it was nice of you to apologise (there are people who were involved to a greater extent who haven't apologised for all or any of their involvement).
As for drawing a line underneath the debate; that isn't up to anyone. Those that are having it will draw their own lines under the debate (or suggest that others do) as and when they please and the debate will come to a natural end (or not if they don't).
I made a complaint to the NS and am now drawing a line under it.

hi Sian,
I've debated whether to reply, but all I would like to say, is that I think it was extremely honourable for you to apologise, and I'm sure many others in your position would not do the same.
You're one fantastic person.

P.s. sian here is a response from someone to the New Statesman:
as you can see, some feminists saw the actions of Baxter and the New Statesman as terrible, and anti-women.
It isn't about me or you. It's about portrayals of sex/gender/sexuality by the 'left' wing media.
You have sided with the 'boys club' on this one. Well done.

I'm not sure co-incidence is the right word. You had read that blog post, and you had read the No Sleep til Brooklands blogpost. It would be a co-incidence if you hadn't known that those posts existed. So even as a general point about how feminist bloggers write about the daily mail's use of language, you still wrote that bloggers who wrote about this subject showed a "morbid fascination with rape", knowing of at least two bloggers who had written about it (there were more of course). So although I can accept it wasn't a direct point at me, it was still, in my view, an offensive and unfair thing to say about a group of people who have different views from you.

I am sorry if you feel offended sian but it is my view. That's the thing. some people's views offend other people. some of your views really really offend me but I do not object to you expressing them.
do you want to live in a world where nobody ever offends you? or if they do you have the right to castigate them or ban or block them from discourse?
I don't.

- sian and crooked rib said...
Where exactly have I blocked or banned you from offending me or engaging in discourse? Apart from not publishing two almost identical comments on one post because they were triggering and broke my mod policy, you have free reign to comment all over my blog and other ppls blogs and your own blog! . I even publish comments ypu write that break my mod policy, such as comments which have used homophobic language. But just as you have a right to write whatever you want to, I have a right to be offended by your uncorroborated statement that writing about how the daily mail report rape causes the writer to be obsessed with rape. I'm not saying you shouldn't write it. I'm saying that it was disingenuous to say it was a 'co incidence' when you had read mine and the no sleep til brooklands blog. That's all.

- Elly said...
I didn't say youd blocked me anywhere other than on twitter.
The fact is the main place I encounter a 'morbid fascination' with rape is in The Guardian, but yes also on a variety of blogs. And people on twitter who go on about the daily mail's reporting of rape, all the time.
I wasn't referring to you specifically and you can believe me or not.
- 23 April 2011 at 21:08
- sian and crooked rib said...
I'm sorry Elly but that is simply not true. You said on Mark Clapham's blogpost that i had blocked you from commenting (http://markclapham.wordpress.com/2011/03/20/zero-tolerance-for-the-daily-mail-its-contributors-and-supporters/), you also wrote on your own blog in a reply to 'Clare' that i didn't publish most of your comments, which is again untrue, and you wrote on Twitter that i didn't publish your comments because I like to be surrounded by 'yes men'. Tbh i don't mind that we disagree on things, why would i, disagreement and debate is what makes the world and the internet go round, but I do object to making stuff up!
And your response to me saying i thought it was offensive to accuse bloggers of having a morbid fascination with rape was:
'or if they do you have the right to castigate them or ban or block them from discourse?'
My saying i thought it was offensive was not a call to block or ban it being said, it was merely my (perfectly valid) response to a statement that i thought was offensive. You can say it as much as you like, it doesn't change my response. I think most things David Cameron says are pretty offensive, I am allowed to feel that and he is allowed to say offensive things. Hence why i asked the question, where have i blocked or banned people from saying things that offend me? I haven't.
- 24 April 2011 at 10:12
- Elly said...
i said you were blocking me when you'd deleted those comments by me, as I genuinely thought that meant you'd decided to stop publishing my comments on your blog.
I said that in the context of how I get banned from feminist blogs quite often. I am sorry I didn't go round and retract that statement when I realised you'd not banned me but just deleted those comments.
- 24 April 2011 at 14:49
- sian and crooked rib said...
RT @sianushka @RopesToInfinity coz, you know, by writing about the daily mail we are actually MORBIDLY FASCINATED by rape cases < True.
So, actually, you did say that i was morbidly fascinated with rape cases. which was my whole point for the latter part of the discussion.
- 5 May 2011 at 16:36
- Elly said...
I tell you something, you feminists love trawling through my twitter account. I really don't know why you find it so interesting!
But everything is in context. I had made the 'morbidly fascinating' comment already. You 'quoted'it out of context on twitter. I said 'true' as I do think it is true but my original comment was a general one not specifically about you.
Really sian, you said you wanted to 'draw a line' under this.
I don't see you doing that!

New Delhi, April 28: From education quotas in IITs and IIMs, Arjun Singh has turned his glare to childrens learning levels in primary government schools.
All students in Classes II and IV in government schools throughout the country may soon have to take a mandatory test that will assess their learning skills.
A recent survey conducted by over 700 NGOs has thrown up worrying statistics on the status of primary education, prompting Arjuns human resource development ministry to mull such a move.
According to the survey, almost 35 per cent children in the 7-14 age group cannot read a simple paragraph. Almost 60 per cent cannot read a simple story. Again, within the 11-14 age group, about 17.2 per cent cannot read easy paragraphs. About 31 per cent cannot read stories.
The statistics confirm what experts have long been saying on the quality of education being imparted to children. They also neutralise the Centres claims of a high enrolment rate achieved at the primary school level through the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan.
About 93.4 per cent children in the 6-14 age group are now enrolled in schools.
HRD ministry officials said most states had agreed to conduct the test, of which Karnataka and Maharashtra had already done so.
The skill test showed over 8 lakh Class IV students in Maharashtra government schools as being below the mark. They were given bridge courses to hone their skills.
The ministry believes the poor quality of education has a direct bearing on the school dropout rate that continues to be high across India.
A survey said there are over 11 million out-of-school children in India, of which 71.2 per cent are in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Orissa. Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have over 50,000 dropouts.
The HRD ministry has written to state chief secretaries to focus on out-of-school children and take steps to address the problem. It said the 33 cap on funds for civil works should be raised so that more classrooms could be built and more teachers hired.
It has also asked the states to bring out texts in local dialects for SC/ST children.

|Non-Canon Alert!
The subject of this article originates from non-canonical sources. To find out about what is considered "canon" see LOTR:Canon.
The Morgul Attack Troll was a breed of Olog-hai and unlike the Mordor breed, these Lack size, strength and armor. During the Siege of Minas Tirith, these were the first troops to attack the insides of the city once the wolfs head Grond had smashed the door open. Some of them had a little armor, but not as much as the Mordor breed.
These trolls weren't at all as strong as the ones at the black gate and were very weak to incoming arrows and spears. They cannot be mistaken with the Mountain-trolls who are nearby during the same siege.

Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support for the artificial pancreas, which will transform the way we treat diabetes in our country. Millions of Americans have diabetes. Diabetes accounts for approximately $174 billion in health care costs in the U.S. each year, 32 percent of our Medicare expenditures.
Studies show that tight control of blood glucose levels significantly reduces or delays the development of diabetic complications. Most patients with diabetes cannot achieve tight glucose control with traditional diabetes tools. Erratic blood glucose levels can cause devastating complications, including kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputations, heart attack, and stroke.
The artificial pancreas can allow individuals suffering from diabetes to regulate their blood glucose levels using an insulin pump and a sensor. The system can prevent low and high glucose levels and help individuals with diabetes avoid the worst and most costly complications while allowing them to remain healthy until a cure is found.
In April of this year, 250 Members of the House, myself included, and 60 Senators sent a letter to the FDA urging them to approve the artificial pancreas. I am encouraged by FDA's response to have a decision by December.

Helsinki Central Library Competition Entry / PAR + Arup
In contrast to the other buildings in the Töölönlahti District of Helsinki, an essential component of the design by PAR and Arup for the Central Library involved creating a public space at the top of the library—visually connecting Töölönlahti to Senate Square and the city at large. The library is organized by six intersecting axes that afford spectacular vistas while creating a variety of spatial configurations for the library's program. With it's six floor levels each pointing toward a celebrated landmark, the Central Library becomes a symbolic center for city. More images and architects' description after the break.

Exchange rates, among other things, might reflect the relative fundamentals of the economies included in the currency pair, as well as the potential substitution effects from adjacent currencies. In the case of the Indian rupee (INR) and the U.S. dollar (USD), the long-term drivers related to divergent demographic patterns – the youth of India and the aging of the United States – could not be more striking or important. And while the demographic divide frames the primary challenges, the substitution effects of how India fares relative to other emerging market economies can also play a very large role in determining the INR/USD exchange rate – in the short-term and long-term.
India has strong growth prospects, benefits from low commodity prices, and offers relative political stability. As such, the Indian rupee may stack up well against other emerging market currencies...In this report, we start with a concise discussion of the demographic divide between India and the U.S. which raises the possibility of long-term economic growth differentials colored by substantial political and economic risks. Then, we turn to substitution effects in foreign exchange. Just because an exchange rate is a currency pair, in no way does that mean what happens in adjacent markets cannot have a huge impact on exchange rates, including the potential for "contagion" effects when global risks are rising appreciably. Indeed, in this era of very low or even negative policy rates from major central banks, at some point the global search for yield may find emerging market currencies, and the Indian rupee, more than worth the additional risks.
Demographically, India is young and very large. There are 680 million people under the age of 30, or over 50% of a population topping 1.2 billion – the second largest in the world after China. Less than 6% of the people are over 65, meaning very few people leave the labor force each year. And, over 20 million young people arrive at the age for entry level into the job market every year. Creating jobs is absolutely key for political stability. Failure to grow the economy can cause huge disappointments and raises the risk of political uncertainty.
By contrast, U.S. baby boomers, born roughly between the late 1940s and early 1960s, are now retiring. Just over 14% of the U.S. population is already older than 65 years of age, and that percentage will be rising steadily over the next decade. Retirees do not consume as much per capita as they once did in their peak-earnings years. The baby boomers, indeed, were known for their embrace of leverage and consumption, and many are now realizing their savings are insufficient for retirement. In their retirement years, boomers may become increasingly frugal. And, the economic drag from the aging baby boomers is not going to be offset by the millennial generation, at least not for next decade or two.
Moreover, while there are more young people arriving at the age of entry to the U.S. work force than people hitting retirement age, the net annual job creation required to keep the unemployment rate stable might be as low as 1,000,000 to 1,250,000. That does not mean that creating jobs is not important for the U.S. economy, but the job creation challenge in order of magnitude is less than that for India. India has no drag from retirees, while enjoying an extra push as the average age of workers rises toward their years of higher productivity and incomes.
There are some basic exchange rate drivers that emerge from this economic divide. Economic growth differentials are expected to favor India by a large margin, albeit with considerable economic and political uncertainties about the government's ability to steer the economy. Our analysis suggests that the potential real GDP growth rate for the U.S. has dropped to about 2% annually, while potential real GDP growth in India is probably in the 5% to7% range annually. In our view, this wide and persistent growth differential swamps any risks associated with trade imbalances.
There is also an inflation divide, as economies with a compelling need to create jobs also tend to have a policy bias toward a modestly depreciating exchange rate and allowing for more inflation than mature industrial economies would prefer. From an exchange rate perspective, relatively high economic growth potential favors the Indian rupee, while low inflation favors the U.S. dollar, but this is before considering monetary and fiscal policy or factoring in global currency portfolio substitution effects.
Monetary and fiscal policy matters a lot. The U.S. Federal Reserve generally feels that 2% real GDP growth is substandard, and that an absence of inflation pressure is not desirable. Hence, the Federal Reserve (Fed) has only recently abandoned its zero-rate policy in favor of a small 0.25% rate increase in December 2015, and offered guidance that as many as four incremental rate rises might come in 2016. The market consensus differs from the Fed guidance, however, and expects future rate hikes to be long-delayed, possibly with only one small rate hike in 2016. This accommodative monetary policy stance largely removes the positive influence of low relative inflation for the U.S. dollar. And, fiscal policy, which might be used for tax reform or structural spending, both of which offer some potential to encourage U.S. economic growth, appear off the table in these times of highly-polarized U.S. politics and Presidential-Congressional gridlock.
From a policy perspective, India stands in stark contrast to the US. Not long ago, Indian inflation was touching 10% and has now declined to just under 6%. The decline in inflation was due, in no small part, to India being a major beneficiary of lower energy and commodity prices globally. Although we must note, in India's case some of the benefits of low commodity prices accrue to the Government in the form of lower energy subsidy costs rather than to consumers. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has taken advantage of the reduced inflation rate to lower its policy interest rate to 5.75%. Of note, like the U.S., the RBI's policy rate does not offer any premium over the current inflation rate. This results in a relative neutral impact on the future exchange rate from a comparison of U.S. and Indian monetary policies.
Interestingly though, while bilateral comparisons of economic fundamentals are important for exchange rate analysis, a better appreciation of possible risks and currency portfolio substitution effects may well be the determining factors for the INR-USD exchange rate over the coming year. For example, emerging market currencies as a group have tended to be under stress since May 2013 when then U.S. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke initiated the debate about when quantitative easing should be withdrawn. From 30 April 2013 through 29 February 2016, emerging market currencies have declined across the board versus the U.S. dollar.
Emerging market currencies may be entering a very different phase in 2016. While the U.S. Fed may choose to hike rates all of 0.25% in 2016, it has become clear the lack of inflation in the U.S. and a lowered potential economic growth rate will keep the Fed far away from considering any form of aggressive removal of monetary stimulus. And, other major central banks from the European Central Bank to the Bank of Japan are expected to continue their quantitative easing programs, which along with negative or penalty interest rates for deposits held at these central banks, have led to negative yields along much of the Government bond maturity curve. In this low-rate financial environment in major countries, one can expect investors to increase their search for yield wherever they can find it – and that would include taking another look at emerging markets.
This brings us to a discussion of relative risks among substitute currencies. Of course, one could buy a basket of emerging market currencies and diversify the risk (and the return) or one could examine the relative risks among different currencies and be more selective.
India is not without some obvious risks. Droughts have hurt farmers and some are protesting government policies. Fiscal subsidies for energy, electricity, and water have created large budget deficits and disrupted market price signals leading to poor resource allocation. And while the Government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was elected in 2014 amidst enthusiasm for reform, real change has proved very slow in coming and political protests are on the rise. For all these risks, though, India still looks very good on a comparative basis. India is a clear beneficiary of low commodity prices, as noted above in the discussion of relative fundamentals, and lower commodity prices are helping to reduce the cost of Government subsidies. And while there is plenty of political uncertainty in India, it is hard to argue on a relative basis that India is in any way unique from other emerging market countries, from Brazil to Turkey to Thailand – not to mention the uncertainties related to the U.S. Presidential election in November.
On net, our perspective is that when one does the homework on the various factors that could impact the Indian rupee (vs the U.S. dollar), the striking fact is that there are very few countries able to grow consistently at 5% real GDP annually in this low-commodity price, slow-growing world. Among global financial markets searching for yield, India is likely to find growing enthusiasm despite some considerable risks. India has strong growth prospects, benefits from low commodity prices, and offers relative political stability. As such, the Indian rupee may stack up well against other emerging market currencies and this may help explain why the Indian rupee depreciated less than other emerging market currencies during the "contagion" phase.

| Mohammed's Truth
by Charles T. Paul
|January 1921 edition of The Moslem World Quarterly Review
Mohammed's truth lay in a holy book,
Christ's in a sacred life.
So while the world rolls on from change to change
And realms of thought expand,
The letter stands without expanse or range,
Stiff as a dead man's hand.
While as the life-blood fills the glowing form,
The spirit Christ has shed,
Flows through the ripening ages fresh and warm,
More full than heard or read.
