I hope they have a future," says Sister Joanna with a smile. Standing inside the small chapel of a Catholic school near Cairo, the petite Egyptian nun gazes outward, thinking. The four walls of Immaculate Heart School offer a refuge from Egypt's revolutionary chaos, providing a safe place where young women have an opportunity to learn and grow. Eventually, equipped only with their education and faith, Sister Joanna's students will leave, rushing back into the fog of an uncertain tomorrow. She adds, "What they see now is all black." (For reasons of safety, this article uses pseudonyms for the school, students, and staff.)
This flourishing city of 18 million has grown tense and, at times, unwelcoming in the violent wake of the Arab Spring. Horrific stories of virginity tests, violent protests, unrestrained mob attacks, brutal religious killings, and kidnappings abound in daily conversation.
"It is rough for the revolution, for those who made the revolution," Sister Joanna continues. "You can feel others want to destroy this revolution for the young. Young people want many, many things. They want to live their future. You can see their hands are empty. They need to grab something; they can't grab anything with the situation they have now. Many, many of them have lost their way."
Egypt's future remains in doubt. Power struggles abound as the military vies for control, an elected parliament is dissolved, and a formal constitution needs to be written. A small ray of hope emerged in June 2012 with Egypt's first democratically elected president, Muhammad Morsi. However, Morsi's relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood makes many Egyptians nervous, especially Christians. Since its inception in 1928, the Brotherhood has had strained relationships with Christians.
While institutionalized discrimination toward Christians existed throughout Hosni Mubarak's administration (1981–2011), particularly in terms of hiring and land-use practices, prospects for unity between Christians and the Muslim majority have since deteriorated. Open conflict and bloodshed have replaced security.
A Safe School
This situation presents more obstacles to Sister Joanna and the Salesian sisters at this school. Working with Christian and Muslim girls, the sisters offer students the opportunity to practice their own faith. Catholic schools are among the few places where interfaith relations are encouraged and practiced. While there are individual religion courses for Muslim and Christian students, the school strives to enrich all students with moral lessons shared by both faith traditions.
"As soon as they come to school, they forget everything outside their walls. They feel at peace and safer," Sister Joanna explains about the school where she has served as the administrator since 2005.
Her job has included ensuring that her pupils and teachers feel comfortable and secure. Approximately 500 girls, ranging in age from 4 to 14, attend the school.
"We teach how to live in life," says Jamie Hanan, an English teacher for the younger children. Jamie, a Muslim, prefers to work in Catholic schools.
"You teach morals of both religions: honesty, living in peace, and how to respect your parents. And students observe how adults treat each other," Jamie explains.
"The girls start the day in prayer, but it's very general. Close your eyes, and everyone prays, 'God, keep us safe.' They thank God for everything," Sister Joanna adds.
Until recently, most students were Muslim; now the majority are Orthodox Christians, with only a few Roman Catholics (see sidebar). Even with the school's current Christian majority, Sister Joanna says the school focuses more on morality and spirituality than on specific beliefs.
"They don't feel the differences, really. We treat all the same way—even the teachers. They all have the same rights. We are very good with them and with the parents," she says. "We love youth. We love them—any school or any religion. It doesn't matter for us. [We want] them away from harm, to keep them from thinking and falling into bad things."
Jamie says the nuns have a very strong bond with their students. "Some girls tell secrets to the nuns before their parents. All of us teach the girls here as our children."
When asked about how she and her colleagues have fared in the outbreaks of sectarian violence, Sister Joanna replies: "People respect nuns. They respect us because of our education. We have the best schools."
Strong Salesian Roots
Sister Joanna can attribute the educational greatness to the mission of the Salesian sisters, a group founded in 1872 by St. John Bosco and St. Mary Mazzarello. In Italy, the religious community served underprivileged and disadvantaged youth through education and recreation. Over the next 140 years, the Salesian family has grown to become the second-largest religious congregation across the globe, counting 34,000 priests, brothers, and sisters, serving in schools and missions on every continent.
Setting out to spread the word of the Gospel and work with poor youth, the Salesian sisters entered Islamic Egypt in 1896. Eventually, their schools earned a reputation for providing excellent education. While Egyptian Christians have often been scorned and discriminated against for not following Islam, many affluent and ambitious Muslim families send their children to Catholic schools. Today, 16 groups of Salesians reside in Egypt, with the sisters running two schools in Cairo and one in Alexandria. Despite a few close calls with violence after the 2011 revolution, the Salesians decided to remain in Egypt and continue their mission.
It is this pervasive attitude that led Jamie, a devout Muslim, to become a teacher at a Catholic school. "I was taught by nuns," she says. "The nuns here have a spiritual way of treating you. They influenced my character. I began to learn from them."
Jamie says these values are not observed in government schools, and children often get away with bad behavior. She says the nuns stress morality and prayer in school, regardless of religion
Grateful Graduates
These morals and values have led to deep relationships between the Salesians and their former students, who are welcome to visit every Thursday. John Massry attended Immaculate Heart when it was an all-boys' school. A professional musician who spends much of his time on business abroad, John agrees with the values of Catholic education.
He wishes more people had the same education he did, especially as Egyptian citizens attempt to build a democracy. He worries at the outcome because rampant government corruption and continual abuses of power have changed little.
John says that students are still not prepared for the reality of the situation. "It's about security," he says. "I walk around. I'm not comfortable."
Maria Kamal, 20, shares many of John's hopes and concerns. Alternately for and against the revolution, Maria hopes that Egyptians can handle democracy. A more recent graduate of Immaculate Heart, she says much of Egypt's future depends on whether Egypt's elected president will lead people toward tolerance while carrying a strong vision—or whether he will be more tyrannical than Mubarak.
Maria is currently majoring in business administration, hoping to work in a bank. She credits the Salesians with her success thus far, saying, "The first day in college, I felt special. I have something not owned by others. We know more."
Her revelation is not unexpected. Egypt ranks 113th in the world for the average number of years of education per person. A 2010 report by Egypt's Institute of National Planning, in cooperation with the United Nations, calculated that 10 percent of Egyptian children, 82 percent of whom are girls, never enroll in school, while another 17 percent drop out before completing secondary school. Not helping matters, 28 percent of all teachers lack required pre-service education formation.
Maria happily adds, "We had better English." While she sees the ability to change, she notes that most of the people in Egypt are poor and have had very little education. Even many of her classmates at the university lack the ability to learn and socialize with others.
Another Catholic school graduate currently studying for a university degree, Fatima Gamil, feels she, too, can get ahead of her peers. She appreciates the interpersonal skills she learned from the Salesians. Her classmates at this all-girls' school, she feels, can interact with young men far better than the girls who went to mixed-gender government schools.
"Many of those girls think if you put a boy with a girl, there will be a relationship," she explains, laughing at the thought. Her friends sitting nearby follow suit. "No trust between boys and girls. Not the majority. As a Christian, we are not so shy. We can interact with others. We are now in our first year in college. We interact more with boys, as brothers and sisters."
Life Outside the School
The Christian girls have many Muslim friends and are not afraid to engage others. As Fatima points out, "We are lucky. We had the benefit of a good education, and we spend our time with people who had a good education. Most people are not so lucky."
However, the young women have felt their share of discrimination. Maria and Fatima, along with the majority of Coptic Christians, have a tattoo of a cross on their left wrist, demonstrating their pride and devotion to Christianity, often a mark they receive as young as 6 or 7 years of age.
The symbols, as well as Christian names, become a source of harassment when they enroll in government schools. Even public school teachers will pressure students, Sister Joanna explains, questioning why they wear the cross and sometimes insulting them.
"It's getting worse now," Sister Joanna says. "They hear that people kidnap girls to make them Muslim. Girls walk in the street with fear. Parents fear for their children, fear something [will] happen." This adds to the strain women already face in Middle Eastern society, with its expectations of modesty, patriarchic leanings, and limited professional opportunities.
Recalling her youth, Sister Joanna says Egyptian mainstream society has changed its attitude toward women and Christians. Growing up in Alexandria, she watched as her father worked long hours in the transportation department, only to be passed over time and again.
"My father worked very, very hard but never got to the position he was supposed to because he was a Christian. Even you can see now: it's getting worse," she says.
When she was 16, her father was killed in an accident. Her bereaved mother passed away months later, leaving her children to move in with their aunt and uncle in England.
Sister Joanna returned seven years later, toward the end of the 1970s, following the oil crisis that had devastated Egypt's economy while more traditionally conservative nations gained economic influence in the region.
"Things were changing in Egypt. It wasn't like before," she says. "[Before] we could walk freely in the streets; not like now. Now it's a bit difficult. At that time, women wore miniskirts. We could wear those things at those times. We didn't have a veil or this before."
She continues: "You could see, you could feel—the Muslim Brothers, something different in the country. The Khomeini mentality was being perpetuated in Egypt. I could feel that it was different from the years before." Joanna became a Salesian sister in 1971, joined the school staff in 1980, and has also served in England, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Over the following decades, jobs disappeared, poverty increased exponentially, educational standards decreased, and hostility between Christians and Muslims intensified. She watched helplessly as her former pupils grew more despondent in the years after their graduation.
"It keeps them really down. Even for religious lessons, it's not like we divide. Our Christians don't have the rights for religious lessons. The government schools will tell them, 'We don't have the teachers for you.' Sometimes, they get into the Muslim lessons and listen to their religion. They are forced to listen to those things. It's not like they have the choice."
Shaping a New Future
Frustration and lack of opportunities overshadow not only Christians but all Egyptians. Educational failings, limited freedom, stifled economic opportunities, and systemic corruption created the pressures leading to the 2011 revolution.
Some of Sister Joanna's staff stood among the thousands of protesters who took to Tahrir Square that January and February. "We were surprised at first because we never thought we could do this," Jamie says.
Even Sister Joanna has taken part in the political process, having voted three times since Mubarak's government fell in 2011. "We as nuns didn't interfere much in politics. We live our lives for the children, and that's all."
On the other hand, like many people surviving through Egypt's revolution, the school's five sisters are very frightened for the future. "Unfortunately, nothing good happens," Jamie remarks. There are 13 Egyptian Salesian sisters.
For her part, Sister Joanna hopes there is a brighter future for her students. Despite the uncertainty and fear she sees in the eyes of her students, past and present, she highlights the freedom they have acquired. "They are more open now," she says, reminiscing, smiling at the group of visiting former students as they wander off together. "Now they discuss." She pauses, then smiles wryly as she admits, "A little bit naughty, more than before."
Then she takes a more serious tone. "I want them to understand whenever someone hurts them that you don't have to do the same thing to them. Just let it pass, and you will see that one day this person will be converted. And just give them time."
She continues: "From my own experience, I learned you don't have to hurry for answers straightaway. You can't just push a button and get what you want. You need time to think and see: if we live really the Gospel, the love of the Gospel, something will happen to the other person—something not normal, something higher than normal.
"We tell them to keep strong because, bit by bit, they are going to learn from you. You had the experience of a good education. God gives you this grace, and you have to keep it, and you have to teach others how to live these values," she says.
In her office, Sister Joanna speaks more candidly about church fires, mob attacks between Christians and Muslims, and questionable elections. Despite all this, she says, she must believe that Egypt will survive and be greater in the end.
"We tell them God told us: he is not going to leave us. Never. Never. It is written in the Bible, 'My people in Egypt.' God will never, never leave us here . . . ," she says.
"Yes, we have fears now," Sister Joanna acknowledges. "We're sure now that evil will not prevail on us. This is what Jesus is saying to us."
Christians in Egypt
Christianity arrived in Egypt shortly after Jesus' ascension into heaven (see Acts 8:26–39). Coptic Orthodox Christians, now led by Bishop Pachomius, comprise almost 10 percent of Egypt's population. A successor to Pope Shenouda III has not yet been elected. The Coptic Catholic Church, which is in full communion with the bishop of Rome, has fewer members. Other Christian denominations are represented in Egypt in smaller numbers.

One thing is clear: Claudia Romani has an amazing booty. That's why she enjoys wearing revealing bikinis, like the red one in these pictures, which highlight the perfection of her gluteus maximus. Give it a try; I'd wager you won't be able to stop staring at that piece of ass for a good, long while. The Italian-born model, to top it off, has a great command of suggestive poses very suitable for snapshots from behind:

What's a poetry slam?
Poetry slam is the competitive art of performance poetry, invented in the 1980s by a Chicago construction worker named Marc Smith. Poets perform their own original work and are judged Olympic-style by members of the audience.
How can I see a slam?
The Boston Poetry Slam presents an open poetry slam most Wednesday nights, and theme, team, and championship slams on many others. Check the upcoming schedule to see when our next slam occurs.
What's the difference between an open mic and an open poetry slam?
Open mic performers have one stage opportunity to earn a round of applause. Slammers perform in a three-round scored competition for a $10 prize. For more information on performing in our open slam, check out our guide for first-time slammers.
How do I get to be a judge for a slam?
Volunteer your services to the host! You may judge as long as you don't personally know any of the poets in the slam and plan to stay to watch the whole thing.
I don't live in Boston! Where else can I see a poetry slam?
There are strong poetry slam scenes all over the United States, Canada, and Europe, with more arriving in Central America and Asia every day. To find the slam nearest to you, try Googling "poetry slam" and your state, province, or nearest major city. You can also try checking the Slam Map or Slam List at Poetry Slam, Inc.
This website is huge! How big is the Boston Poetry Slam?
Our flagship show runs weekly on Wednesdays in Cambridge, presenting an open mic, featured poet, and late-night poetry slam. Additionally, our LGBTQIA+ show, Moonlighting, presents monthly on first Thursdays in Brighton. We also hold occasional special events, listed under "The Boston Poetry Slam Presents" on our menu.
Wait, so not all of the Boston Poetry Slam shows are poetry slams?
That's right! Our Wednesday show is the only one with a regular open poetry slam. Our other shows and presentations are dedicated to furthering our mission statement.
You have a lot of shows. How do I find the one that's right for me?
We think all our shows are awesome, but each is a little different. If you want to perform on an open mic or in a poetry slam, watch a full set from a world-class headlining poet, or see some of the best all-star slams in the country, you should check out our flagship weekly show. If you specifically want to dialog and exchange with a queer-friendly community, either as a self-identified member or an ally, we recommend our monthly queer reading, Moonlighting.
How do I get to perform my poetry on the open mic or in a slam?
On Wednesdays at the Cantab, you may sign up on the list when the doors open at 7:15: the open mic fills up very quickly, so we recommend arriving BEFORE door time (on nights with an open poetry slam, the slam does not fill up as fast and may still have slots open as late as 11:00). On Thursdays at Moonlighting, sign-ups begin at 7:30, prior to the open mic at 8:00.
The open mic and open slam were full when I got there! Can I email or call you to sign up?
No, we do not accept sign-ups in advance. You may send someone to sign up on your behalf.
Does my poem have to be memorized? Can I read a poem by another poet? Can I play my guitar?
No, yes, and we'd rather you didn't. See our open mic rules to best plan your debut.
Will you read my poem to see if I should read it in the open mic or poetry slam?
Nope. We don't review anyone's work before the show; the only way to know if it can succeed is to try it out loud. Good luck and have fun!
I hear your Wednesday show keeps selling out! How can I make sure I get to see the open mic?
Doors open at 7:15 for the show and our capacity is limited to 100, which means that shows frequently sell out. We recommend you arrive no later than 8:00 to get in to see the open mic. If we have an exceptionally famous feature or an exceptionally large slam (check the schedule to see what to expect), you should expect a line to form before doors open!
I just want to see the featured poet and the slam on Wednesday. Do I have to get there at 7:15?
Probably not. On most nights, you can arrive at 10:00 and get in during the break after the open mic. However, on nights with a well-known feature or a team slam, the venue stays packed all night and you should arrive by door time.
I'm under 21. Can I come to a poetry show?
Yes! The Wednesday night show at the Cantab Lounge is an 18+ show, so if you are 18, 19, or 20, you are welcome: you will need a photo ID and you will only be allowed in the downstairs bar on a Wednesday night. Our monthly queer reading in Brighton, Moonlighting, is all ages, and also requires a photo ID.
I'm under 18. Can the Cantab make an exception? What if my parents are with me?
Nope, definitely not, sorry. The Cantab is kind enough to permit us to use their space for the show, so we follow their house rules! Underage patrons are welcome at Moonlighting. For more youth poetry shows in the area, please contact the Mass LEAP Collective.
Can I bring my class to a show? Do you offer group rates?
Your class is welcome at any of our shows as long as everyone is of appropriate age (see above), although we cannot guarantee room on any open mic. Our Wednesday show has limited capacity and we do not offer group rates; if you require your class to attend a Wednesday show, we recommend offering credit for a range of dates in case the shows sell out.
Can I hold a fundraiser for my non-profit at one of your shows? What about a release party for my literary magazine?
Probably not. We know there are enough important, worthy causes in Boston to easily book up all our show spaces for a year! But we also have spent two decades building a world-famous slam on the underground poetry circuit, and there are many talented local and touring artists interested in our stage time as well. We choose to partner only with causes that are very close to the heart of our community. If you would like to use one of our hosting venues to build your own show, you may contact the owners of the Cantab Lounge or the Davis Square Theatre.
Will your poets come perform for my class/college/bat mitzvah/supermarket opening/fundraiser?
Maybe. Please read our guidelines on how to book a poet.
Will you book [famous poet I love] to feature at a Boston Poetry Slam show?
We can try: you may email your suggestions to email@example.com! (If you are looking for a feature opportunity for yourself, please read our feature application guidelines.)
Where can I buy a book or CD by [poet x]?
The best way to buy product from a poet in person; many of our open mic standouts and features are self-published and that is the only place to get their work. If you want to find a poet you saw perform at the Boston Poetry Slam, please start with an internet search; if that comes up zero, you may contact the SlamMaster with a description of the poet you are trying to contact.
Why can't I take photographs of the poets on stage? Why can't I record audio or video?
Some of our poets sell their art for a living, and others are shy or just revealing new work for the first time. The Boston Poetry Slam is a show, but we are also a community and a safe space! Please respect the artists and refrain from recording inside the venue. If you want to record yourself or people who have given you permission to record, be sure to read our recording policy first.
Why are those two dudes with the big cameras allowed to take photographs any time they want?
Those dudes are Marshall Goff and Rich Beaubien, and they are the official photographers of the Boston Poetry Slam. They have been helping us document the slam and open mic for years; we use their photos to help promote our events. If you don't want them to photograph you, or if they are impeding your enjoyment of the show, tell them! They agree with us that the experiencing of listening is more important than the experience of documenting it.
Is the Boston Poetry Slam staff really responsible for a weekly feature and slam, a monthly community show, and the recent 2011 and 2013 National Poetry Slams? Are you people superhuman or what?
Most likely. We do all these shows on a volunteer basis, so please thank a staff member if you enjoyed the show!
If you folks are all volunteers, who gets the money I pay at the door?
The Boston Poetry Slam proceeds are split between the bar, the featured artist(s), and the slam (if applicable). On special slam fundraising nights, we put proceeds aside to help send our representatives to the National Poetry Slam and the Individual World Poetry Slam. Moonlighting show proceeds go directly to the featured artist(s).
How can I volunteer?
Please contact the SlamMaster if you have skills or time to offer to the Boston Poetry Slam. Hosting is by invitation only, but we do have a need for committed door staff, slam management and scoring, and lots of behind-the-scenes promotional work, including press releases and mailing list management. Let us know what you can do!

Moss-Owens Week begins
But these are two of the best in the history of the game, so every time they clash — and trust me, these guys do not like one another — it's significant. Oh, so you want evidence of the rivalry's existence? Well, when I was covering the Cowboys and it was Patriots week in 2007, rather than discuss his matchup with Moss, Owens left this for us media types on his Valley Ranch locker …
As for what they've accomplished on the field … Owens is sixth all-time in receptions, Moss is 11th. Owens is fourth all-time in receiving yards, Moss is sixth. Moss is second in touchdown catches, Owens is third. Both are going to the Hall of Fame, and both carry a checkered reputation.
The one difference is that Owens is now 36 years old. The question was posed to Bill Belichick today on a conference as to how much he has left.
"Ask Jacksonville, ask Miami," Belichick said. "He does a great job on the vertical deep routes. He's big and fast — a big target that can go up and get the ball. But he's also very good on the underneath routes, as we saw last week."
One last note: Owens did dump some fuel on the fire last week, posting this on Twitter: "And I made it 2 my 8am mtg this am!! Lol!"
As for Moss, Belichick was asked, again, if he's in need of a good week leading up to Buffalo. And that got the same kind of general answer that all the Moss questions yesterday did.
"It's important for all of us to have a good week every week," he said. "That's for all of us."
Director of player personnel Nick Caserio — who used to be Moss' position coach — added that Moss made an impact on Sunday away from the ball that went unnoticed, and said he's among the team's most consistent players.
Caserio put it this way: "There were a lot of things that he did that helped our team."

Summary : This tutorial aims to introduce simple image processing and computer interaction (ip hci ) processes by teaching all how to make custom applications and how to interact with computer and other devices using python libraries like numpy, scipy, kivy and opencv. tutorial starts from a gentle and beginners introduction to ip hci, their applications ( and why everyone is mad about them! ), teaches all to make applications like logging in your systems using face recognition ( using webcams ) or fingerprints or taking input from custom devices ( like a touchscreen ) and analysing and processing that data and ends up at a stage from where everyone can start exploring more.

While horny babes always end up getting screwed, the chicks on Stocking Stars at least love to begin with a bit of fetish foreplay. Whether wearing stay ups or garter held stockings, you can bet on seeing these sexy babes in their nylon style lingerie items from the beginning of a movie and all the way through the to end.
StockingStars is one of 14 sites that come with your membership. While the others don't always feature this particular fetish, they do deliver some good hardcore and a few other fetishes for enthusiasts. Cherry Red Bottoms, Leash Sex, Sperm Blasters, Almond Tease and Backstabbing Sluts are some of the bonus titles you get.
The site usually updates weekly, though there has been some irregularity. If you happen to have a particular stocking fantasy you want the models to play out for you, the site gives you a link where you can make particular requests.
Navigation is basic. All of the exclusive content is listed down the members' page. There are no additional extras, but the bonus network seemed a good bargain to me so I'm not going to complain. Expect to find 80 movies and 90 photo sets.
Movies are divided into clips or you can download the full 22-minute MPEG or great-quality Windows Media videos. Image is crisp and the sound is fabulous. There's a little bit of dialogue, but mainly the films jump right into the swing of stocking fetish and then head straight for the heart of the hardcore. Horny is definitely something that you'll feel when you see these gorgeously slender legs bound in black and red hosiery. While most of the babes weren't familiar, I did happen to notice a couple of Internet celebrities, like the exotic Malezia.
Picture sets contain approximately 160 images and they're worth a look. The photos concentrate more on stocking fetishism than they do on the hardcore, although you'll find some sets blend the two. They have subdued lighting, yet are well-lit and good crisp shots. There aren't any convenient Zip downloads, but you can still save individual photos onto your hard drive.
I think the quality of this site is great and certainly the babes are stunning, but there's definitely more hardcore than there is emphasis on hosiery. Stocking Stars is a great site for those who love watching babes in hose get it on with good-looking studs, but it falls short of a pure fetish site for those who really want to taste, feel and worship stockings.

That Obscure Object of Concern: Selective Feminism and the Rise of Anti-Sharia Laws
"Evil resides (also) in the innocent gaze which perceives Evil all around."
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is worried about women. Specifically, he is worried about their equal rights under U.S. law, and is baffled that women are not up in arms about the sinister force that poses the greatest threat to them in our time. Is it the distressingly high rates of sexual violence in this country? Domestic abuse? Unequal working conditions? Recurring waves of legislation aimed at undermining women's bodily integrity? None of these, according to Rep. Gohmert: the true threat is "creeping sharia law."
Rep. Gohmert recently added his voice to the call for Congressional hearings on sharia's supposed infiltration of U.S. society. During an interview on Frank Gaffney's radio show, Gohmert said, "The biggest shock out of all of this is that the women's liberation groups have not just gone berserk over this creep into our society that diminishes women as it does. … it does diminish the Constitution when you bring any law in that doesn't allow women to be full equal citizens of the United States." Gohmert's rhetorical move here is perversely clever: he highlights a legitimate harm (here, the unequal treatment of women), attributes it exclusively to a foreign source (sharia law), and insinuates that those who fail to do the same are complacent and/or hypocritical (why aren't "women's liberation groups" more upset about this horrible threat?). This is a not a new tactic (anti-feminists like Christina Hoff Sommers have been doing it for years), but it is falling on particularly receptive ears.
At least thirteen states have recently introduced bills aimed at keeping sharia law out of U.S. courts. Oklahoma's dramatically-named "Save Our State Amendment," which explicitly listed sharia law as a forbidden source of authority, was recently held by a federal judge to violate the Establishment clause. The sponsors of many of the newer bills have learned to be less specific in their language, but most are quite comfortable admitting that sharia is their real target. Georgia Rep. Mike Jacobs (R-Atlanta), who introduced "The American Laws for Georgia Courts Act" (House Bill 45, which states that "it will be the public policy of this state to protect its citizens from the application of foreign laws when the application … will result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the Constitution of this state or of the United States"), told the Fulton County Daily Report that the bill would "ban the use of Sharia law in Georgia courts." Admitting that he did not know of a single instance of any Georgia court ever being asked to apply sharia law, Rep. Jacobs expressed the belief that it had happened elsewhere: "We're seeing more of a feeling that Sharia law should be applied in domestic cases."

Idalou, Texas athlete Shae Reagan has two visits yet to take before making his decision.
"Everything is kind of in a holding pattern still," the 6-foot-3, 230-pound Reagan said. "Nothing really has come around new for a while. I took visits to Oklahoma State and Texas A&M last month and I have two visits the next two weeks."
Those two upcoming visits are to TCU (Jan. 9) and Texas Tech (Jan. 16).
Article Continues Below
"I will make those trips before making a decision," he said. "After those two, I'll sit down and look things over and try and find the school that is the best fit for me. I want a place where I feel like I can go in and play. I want to feel comfortable with my choice."
No school has emerged as a favorite for Reagan.
"I can't say that I have a clear cut favorite at this time," he said. "I don't want to go on the record as saying one school is better right now."

What a surprise to read about tomorrow's event while sitting here at work in first life. I can't wait to get home, log in and visit the gallery to see all of the contest entries. I plan to attend tomorrow, albeit a brief attendance, as I must be to work in first life shortly thereafter. Is it me or is the clock moving very slow tonight? {:o)

Report (from old GMM site): The Polish "Free Hemp March 2008" was a great success, over 3000 people marched with us to the government buildings in Warsaw. In the evening there was a fantastic MMM Afterparty, about 350 people came to it and it lasted until 6am! All the best, Alexandra and all at Hemp Lobby and Wolne Konopie (Free Hemp).

Return to top. See 2006 Global Marijuana March map.
- Report (from old GMM site):
Million Marijuana March in Warsaw, conducted by Association for Rational and Effective Narcotic Policy – KANABA, occurred as a last of 207 marches all over the world. Despite of downpour, more than 1200 people demanding for legalization of marijuana marched through center of Warsaw.*
March began in a front of Seym building, where group of 300 people gathered. Just before it started, heavy rain had poured. A few people raised a laugh by saying, that God was crying and thundering, seeing the foolishness of polish parliament.
Luckily, a few – including journalists – fled. Remainders marched bravely, demanding for hemp's freedom.
In spite of bad weather, there were more and more of us from minute to minute. Music from platform and melodious voice of Mewa from "PFK Sk?ad" were warming the crowd.
Suddenly, a first surprise happened. A group of superheroes – Batman, Spiderman and fearless Flash Gordon – jumped onto the platform. It turned out later, that our amusing friends were from Switzerland.
Another surprise: Just behind president's palace, we met a demonstration of "Students Initiative". They were emphasizing their dissatisfaction connected with appointment Roman Giertych as Minister of Education. They joined us and we started to exclaim "Krzak tak, Giertych nie" ("Yes for plant, no for Giertych"). We moved out briskly towards the Castle Square, where – after symbolic streetparty – we finished our march.
Return to top. See 2005 Global Marijuana March map.
- Report (from old GMM site):
Plant, smoke, legalize' - these were the most often heard words on the 7th of May in Warsaw. Except for the momentous hail, it was a beautiful sunny day. About 3 pm under the circus in Wiejska street, which officially is our Government, people with a little bit of sense of social duty began to gather. But not only them - MMM was appointed with the city, so guys in blue also appeared. Were there many of us? It depends - if you compare it to the number of illicit drug users in Poland, or even only in Warsaw, then no, there were few of us. But compared to the last year's attendance, there is what to be proud of - this time almost five times more people arrived.
The time had came - we got off! A line of participants started to form behind a little truck with sound system, and full of pro-legalize banners (which we will call a platform from now on). After a while, our peace pageant reached the Three Cross Square. To the drivers' astonishment, and passer-by's interest, about one hundred meters of Warsaw main street, Nowy Swiat, was totally intercepted by loud group of MJ users. Boys and girls with loudspeakers were doing their best. Microphones were occupied by the Kochankowie Gwiezdnych Przestrzeni band, Robert Brylewski (Izrael, Brygada Kryzys) and guys from Kanaba.
Beside smoking accessories, given in the crowd as a part of Hemp Lobby, about 5kg of cannabis seeds were distributed. When we achieved Krakowskie Przedmiescie street, there was a little clash with police, which tried to arrest one of us. Whole march stopped, and 300 people started to shout: 'let him out!'. After a short time of uncertainty, we went on altogether.
Next stop - the President's Palace. While listening to a summary of most important facts about current European drug policy by Artur Radosz, many people shouted "even Kwass smokes grass' [Kwass stands for Kwasniewski, the polish President]. Then we headed for our destination - Plac Zamkowy. After a short speech, in which a necessity of greater engagement was pointed out, at 6pm. according to plan, this year's manifestation had ended, and participants went their own ways in high spirits

Cannabis is safer[edit]
Return to top. See article: Cannabis is safer.
See: Reagan's war on cannabis. And: Holy War on Drugs, Republican-led mass incarceration.
|Ronald Reagan, 1980 campaign speech 1: "Leading medical researchers are coming to the conclusion that marijuana, pot, grass, whatever you want to call it, is probably the most dangerous drug in the United States, and we haven't begun to find out all of the ill effects, but they are permanent ill effects. The loss of memory for example."
- See Reagan say it at 1 minute 7 seconds into this video clip narrated by Woody Harrelson.
- Obama correctly said that cannabis is safer than alcohol. See: Cannabis is safer. He also said marijuana should be treated more as a public health issue than a criminal one. And: Obama signals support for legalizing medical marijuana. [292]. See video.

Since HHS (Health and Human Services) and the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) have again declined to reschedule or deschedule cannabis, then only Congress can do so. But Congress removed help for veterans: Republicans in Congress Won't Let Veterans Access Medical Marijuana After All. [308][309].

Religious organizations have had mixed feelings about GLBT communities throughout history, from outright hate, to grudging acceptance, to celebration. Many members of the queer community were raised in a religious home, and many more have come to various religions and spiritualities as they have aged. That includes people who are asexual.
Jay Ron was raised in a Jewish household, but considers himself to be secular these days. He still holds many of his family's Judaic beliefs, such as believing everything happens for a reason and that all things and people have a purpose in life. He knows he is here for a reason, and as such has a sense of peace regarding his sexuality: "For some reason, I lack sexual attraction," Ron says. "I am content and satisfied for what I am." Today his upbringing and teachings have become a core part of his values, and his beliefs have given him a feeling of selfsatisfaction for his identity.
Julia Dietz was raised in a Christian family and remains a member of the religion. She says the stories she heard in Sunday school and summer camps made her feel full of faith, hope and love. Asexuality is not something taught in Christian communities, and during high school she used religion as her reason to not have sex. As she got older she realized it had little to do with her religion. She just didn't find anyone sexually attractive. Dietz's beliefs have given her the hope and strength to get through even the most dire of circumstances and have given her the desire to help others. "My beliefs give me a reason to live, and also a reason not to fear death," she says.
Rebecca is a member of Forn Sidr, the Danish Asatru organization. Members believe in the Aesir (the Norse gods), and all of the other elements of Norse mythology. They get their ethical beliefs from the Norse collection Hávamál, which reminds followers to value careful- ness and hospitality, and to be a good person. Rebecca began following Asatru before she discovered her asexuality. Since discovering it, she has become more devout. Speaking with the Aesir brings her a sense of peace. She speaks most often to Gefjon, the goddess of unmarried women. "It's important to me that I don't belong to a religion where I feel that to be a good believer, I have to get married and have children, as that's not something I'm interested in." Rebecca experimented with many religions before finding Forn Sidr. "It just hit me that it was right—it felt like the truth." Rebecca struggled with depression for many years, and the Aesir have helped her feel grounded and have enabled her to find herself again.
Some people who are asexual are able to find a welcoming home in their chosen religion, whether it's the space where they grew up or the one that they chose later in life.

My induction to boardgaming began early in 2004, when I started playing The Settlers of Catan. I'd played plenty of other traditional 'boardgames' before that point, such as Monopoly or Risk or the Game of Life, but after Settlers, I quickly realised that these weren't real boardgames – they were 'boardgames lite'. They were 'roll [...]

Like pirates, zombies are reaching the peak of their popularity. They're cool. They're in movies, books, videogames, boardgames and MMOGs. I've only played two MMOGs seriously; the first was about seven years ago, when I beta-tested Ultima Online (yeah, I'm that cool). The second is Urban Dead, a browser-based text MMOG that sees zombies and [...]

Prepare for a special holiday bumper set of posts in the next few days!

The cause of Type 2 diabetes

Why a fatty diet leads to diabetes – type 2 diabetes, specifically. This article at the Times is a surprisingly detailed report of how researchers at UCSD determined that hyperglycaemia suppresses the GnT-4a enzyme, which is basically a blood glucose sensor for the cells that produce insulin. Too much suppression results in pancreatic [...]

After hearing so much about Train Your Brain, the Nintendo DS game that's been developed to boost your IQ, I was pretty excited on obtaining a copy. The game has probably sold more than a million copies now, and that's mostly to non-gamers, so it's certainly an unusual hit 'game'. Players are supposed to play [...]

A Christmas Carol

The idea of Patrick Stewart doing a one-man production of A Christmas Carol was a surprising one, but also one that I felt knew what was going to happen.
