Mary (Arabic: مريم, translit. Maryam), the mother of Jesus (Isa), holds a singularly exalted place in Islam as the only woman named in the Qur'an, which refers to her seventy times and explicitly identifies her as the greatest of all women,[2][3][4] stating, with reference to the angelic saluation during the annunciation, "O Mary, God has chosen you, and purified you; He has chosen you above all the women of creation."[5] In the Quran, her story is related in three Meccan chapters (19, 21, 23) and four Medinan chapters (3, 4, 5, 66), and the nineteenth chapter of the scripture, titled "Mary" (Surat Maryam), is named after her. The Quran refers to Mary more than the entire New Testament.[6]
According to the Qur'an, divine grace surrounded Mary from birth,[7] and, as a young woman, she received a message from God through the archangel Gabriel that God had chosen her, purified her, and had preferred her above all "the women of the worlds."[7] This event, according to the same narrative, was followed by the annunciation of a child who was to be miraculously conceived by her through the intervention of the divine spirit while she was still virgin, whose name would be Jesus and who would be the "anointed one," the Promised Messiah.[7] As such, orthodox Islamic belief "has upheld the tenet of the virgin birth of Jesus,"[7] and although the classical Islamic thinkers never dwelt on the question of the perpetual virginity of Mary at any great length,[7] it was generally agreed in traditional Islam that Mary remained virgin through the entirety of her life, with the Qur'an's mention of Mary's purification "from the touch of men" implying perpetual virginity in the minds of many of the most prominent Islamic fathers.[8]
The Quran calls Mary "the daughter of Imran"[9] and it mentions that people called her a "sister of Aaron".[10] Her mother, mentioned in the Quran only as the wife of Imran, prayed for a child and eventually conceived.[11] According to al-Tabari, her mother name is Hannah and her husband, Imran, died before the child was born.[12] Expecting the child to be male, Hannah vowed to dedicate him to isolation and service in the Temple.[13] However, Hannah bore a daughter instead, and named her Mary.[14][15][16]
In the Qur'an[edit]
Mary is mentioned frequently in the Quran, and her narrative occurs consistently from the earliest chapters, revealed in Mecca, to the latest verses, revealed in Medina.
The birth of Mary is narrated in the Qur'an with references to her father as well as her mother. Mary's father is called Imran. He is the equivalent of Joachim in Christian tradition. Her mother, according to al-Tabari, is called Hannah,[12] which is the same name as in Christian tradition (Saint Anne). Muslim literature narrates that Imran and his wife were old and childless and that, one day, the sight of a bird in a tree feeding her young aroused Anne's desire for a child. She prayed to God to fulfill her desire[17] and vowed, if her prayer was accepted, that her child would be dedicated to the service of God.
Unlike the Roman Catholic concept of the Immaculate Conception, the Qur'anic account does not confirm the Immaculate Conception exclusively for Mary, as in Islam every human child is born pure and immaculate,[18][irrelevant citation][19][not in citation given] her sinless birth is thus independent of the Roman Catholic notion of original sin. As in Orthodox Christianity, no such doctrine exists in Islam.[20]
Early years[edit]
The Qur'an narrates that Mary grew up in the temple of the prayer, and had a special place in the temple of her own. She was placed under the care of the prophet Zechariah, her uncle. The Muslim narrative makes it clear that lots were cast[21] as to who should be the guardian of Mary and the outcome was that she should be placed under Zechariah's care. As often as Zechariah entered Mary's prayer chamber, he found her provided with food[22] and he would ask her where she received it from, to which she would reply that God provides to whom He wills. Scholars have debated as to whether this refers to miraculous food that Mary received from God or whether it was normal food. Those in favor of the former view state that it had to be miraculous food, as Zechariah being a prophet, would have known that God is the provider of all sustenance and thus would not have questioned Mary, if it was normal food.
The virgin birth of Jesus is supremely important in Islam, as one of the most important miracles of God.[citation needed] The first explicit mention of an annunciation foreshadowing the birth of Jesus is in sura 19 (Maryam), ayah 20 where Mary asks Gabriel (Jibril) how she will be able to conceive, when no man has touched her. Gabriel's reply assures Mary that for God all things are easy and that Jesus's virgin birth will be a sign for mankind.[23] The birth is later referred in sura 66 (At-Tahrim), ayah 12,[24] where the Quran states that Mary remained "pure", while God allowed a life to shape itself in Mary's womb. A third mention of the annunciation is in sura 3 (Al-Imran), ayat 42–43, where Mary is also given the glad tidings that she has been chosen above all the women of creation.[25]
Commentators on the Qur'an remark on the last verse that Mary was as close to a perfect woman as there could be, and she was devoid of almost all failings.[26] Although Islam honors numerous women, including Khadijah and Fatimah, many commentators[27] followed this verse in the absolute sense, and agreed that Mary was the greatest woman of all time.[26] Other commentators, however, while maintaining that Mary was the "queen of the saints", interpreted this verse to mean that Mary was the greatest woman of that time and that Fatimah and Khadijah were equally great.[26][28] According to exegesis and literature, Gabriel appeared to Mary, who was still young in age, in the form of a well-made man with a "shining face" and announced to her the birth of Jesus. After her immediate astonishment, she was reassured by the angel's answer that God has the power to do anything.[26] The details of the conception are not discussed during these angelic visits, but elsewhere the Qur'an states (sura 21, (Al-Anbiya), ayah 91[29] and 66:12[24]) that God breathed "His Spirit" into Mary while she was chaste.[30][31]
Virgin birth[edit]
The Qur'an narrates the virgin birth of Jesus numerous times. In sura 19 (Maryam), ayat 17–21,[32] the annunciation is given, followed by the virgin birth in due course. In Islam, Jesus is called the "spirit of God" because he was through the action of the spirit, but that belief does not include the doctrine of his pre-existence, as it does in Christianity.[33] Sura 3, ayat 47 also supports the virginity of Mary, revealing that "no man has touched [her]".[34] Sura:66:12[24] states that Jesus was born when the spirit of God breathed upon Mary, whose body was chaste.[35]
In Qur'an, When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary: 19:16 And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east. 19:17 And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man. 19:18 She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah ." 19:19 He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy." 19:20 She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?" 19:21 He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
The Qur'an's narrative of the virgin birth is somewhat different from that in the New Testament. The Qur'an states that when the pains of childbirth came upon Mary, she held onto a nearby palm tree, at which point a voice came from "beneath the (palm-tree)" or "beneath her", which said " "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee; "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee."[36] The Qur'an goes on to describe that Mary vowed not to speak to any man on that day,[37] as God was to make Jesus, who Muslims believe spoke in the cradle, perform his first miracle. The Quran goes on to narrate that Mary then brought Jesus to the temple, where immediately she began to be taunted by all the men, excluding Zechariah, who believed in the virgin birth. The Israelites questioned Mary how she came to be with child whilst unmarried, to which Mary pointed to the baby Jesus. It was then that, according to the Qur'an, the infant Jesus began to speak in the cradle, and spoke of his prophecy for the first time.[38]
Islamic tradition[edit]
Mary is one of the most honored figures in Muslim history, with the majority of Muslims viewing her as one of the most righteous women to have lived, and a minority viewing her as an actual female prophet.[39] Muslim women look upon her as an example and are known to visit both Muslim and Christian shrines. Muslim tradition, like Christian, honors her memory at Matariyyah near Cairo, and in Jerusalem. Muslims also visit the Bath of Mary in Jerusalem, where Muslim tradition recounts Mary once bathed, and this location was visited at times by women who were seeking a cure for barrenness.[40] Some plants have also been named after Mary, such as Maryammiah, which, as tradition recounts, acquired its sweet scent when Mary wiped her forehead with its leaves. Another plant is Kaff Maryam (Anastatica), which was used by some Muslim women to help in pregnancy, and the water of this plant was given to women to drink while praying.
Islamic literature does not recount many instances from Mary's later life, and her assumption is not present in any Muslim records. Nevertheless, some contemporary Muslim scholars, an example being Martin Lings, accepted the assumption as being a historical event from Mary's life.[41] One of the lesser-known events which are recorded in Muslim literature is that of Mary visiting Rome with John and Thaddeus (Jude), the disciples (al-Hawāriyūn) of Jesus, during the reign of Nero.[42]
- Qānitah: Mary is so called in sura 66:12.[24] The Arabic term implies the meaning, not only of constant submission to God, but also absorption in prayer and invocation, meanings that coincides with the image of Mary spending her childhood in the temple of prayer. In this way, Mary personifies prayer and contemplation in Islam.
- Siddiqah: She who confirms the truth or She who has faith. Mary is called Siddiqah twice in the Quran (sura 5 (Al-Ma'ida), ayat 73–75 and 66:12).[24][43] The term has also been translated, She who believes sincerely completely.
- Sājidah: She who prostrates to God in worship. The Quran states: "O Mary! Worship your Lord devoutly: prostrate yourself".[44] While in Sujud, a Muslim is to praise God and glorify Him. In this motion, which Muslims believe to be derived from Marian nature, hands, knees and the forehead touch the ground together.
- Rāki'ah: She who bows down to God in worship. The Quran states: "O Mary! Bow down in prayer with those men, who bow down." The command was repeated by angels only to Mary, according to the Muslim view. Ruku' in Muslim prayer during prayer has been derived from Mary's practice.
- Tāhirah: She who was purified.[45]
- Mustafia: She who was chosen. The Qur'an states: "O Mary! God has chosen you and purified you and again he has chosen you above all women of all nations of the worlds".[45]
- Sa'imah: She who fasts. Mary is reported to fast one-half of a year in some Muslim traditions.
Many other names of Mary can be found in various other books and religious collections. In Hadith, she has been referred to by names such as Batul, Adhraa (Ascetic Virgin), and Marhumah (Enveloped in God's Mercy).[46]
Burial place[edit]
Mary is believed to have been buried at the Tomb of the Virgin Mary in the Kidron Valley, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, in Jerusalem. The Christian church on the site has been destroyed several times but the crypt has remained intact. The site is run by the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem who share it with the Armenian Apostolic Church. A mihrab was built on the site to aid Muslim pilgrims in prayer.
Mosques named after Mary:

When to Mention That You're Gay?
According to an article cited by the BPS Research Digest, the timing of the announcement of one's homosexuality makes a difference, with respect to whether anti-gay prejudice will be activated in the listener. Male and female test subjects watched a video of a man they were told they would soon be meeting.
The taped interview lasted eight minutes and the man was asked about his life and his interests. Crucially, he was asked about his romantic situation either at the start (the second question) or right at the end of the interview, and it was in his answer to this question that he disclosed his sexual orientation as gay. Half the participants heard the early disclosure version, half heard the late version….

Meek Mill's unloading on Drake … accusing him of the worst crime possible in the hip-hop game — his raps verses are written by other hands!
Hours after his GF, Nicki Minaj, jabbed Taylor Swift … Meek ripped Drizzy, saying … "Stop comparing drake to me too…. He don't write his own raps!"
The criticism was even more shocking since Drake is ON MEEK'S ALBUM!! But Meek … "He ain't even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album….. I don't trick my fans! Lol."
Upping the awkward factor — Drake's tight with Nicki. So, Meek's pillow talk should be interesting.
Meanwhile in fake Twitter beef news, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran went at it too. As best they could, anyway ….

British airports have started operating normally after this week's volcanic ash disruption, but experts say the cloud could still cause problems over the bank holiday weekend.
According to the Met Office, which issues long- and short-term forecasts about the spread of the ash cloud, debris from the original eruption could be present over the British Isles by noon on Friday.
But researchers have stressed that it's still too early too make accurate predictions, and that even if the ash is there, it's only likely to be found in high concentrations in upper regions of the atmosphere (between 35,000-55,000 feet).
No blanket ban on flights
A Met Office spokesperson told Which? Travel: 'The news we're hearing at the moment is that there doesn't appear to be more ash coming from the volcano. But lots of things can happen between now and Friday, and the next 24 hours are crucial.'
The fear is that, with higher than usual passenger numbers expected over the bank holiday weekend, the ash cloud could leave thousands of holiday plans in tatters. If you're due to fly in the next few days, make sure you read our guide to dealing with problems caused by the .
The government has said there will be no blanket ban on flights this time around, so it's worth keeping an eye on Met Office forecasts to see which areas are affected. Check with your airline and airport before setting off.
Flight cancelled or delayed?
If your flight is delayed or cancelled you do have some protection under the Denied Boarding Regulations. If your flight is delayed the airline should provide you with:
- two free phone calls, faxes or emails
- free meals and refreshments appropriate to the delay
- free hotel accommodation and hotel transfers if you need to stay overnight
- a refund on your ticket (if the delay if 5 hours or more and you choose not to fly).
If you have had a flight cancellation or delay, you can use our template letter for compensation.
Travel insurance
If you're due to travel and have travel insurance already in place, you'll need to check the fine print of your policy to see if it excludes adverse weather conditions. In our latest Which? survey, of the 82 insurers who responded, 27 said they cover adverse weather, including ash clouds, as standard. Ten insurers said you can add cover for eventualities like an ash crisis as an optional extra.
If you've yet to purchase travel insurance for a holiday in the upcoming days, you're highly unlikely to find an insurance company who will cover you for insurance claims related to the ash crisis as it is now a known risk.
However, you may find your flight is simply delayed and you can make your journey, in which case, not having travel insurance will leave you vulnerable for the remainder of your holiday so be sure you've a quality insurance policy in place.
Unless your current policy specifically states that it excludes delays caused by ash clouds, you may be able to make a claim. The Financial Ombudsman Service recently ruled that the ash cloud counts as 'bad weather'– so if you have your claim turned down, you may be able to make a successful appeal to the Financial Ombudsman.
Travel tips
1. Download our free iPhone Consumer Rights app so you've travel rights information at your fingertips.
2. Take a photograph of the departure board detailing your delay or cancellation. It might prove helpful when complaining to an airline or making an insurance claim.
3. If your airline's website confirms they're not flying, take a screen shot or print out so you've a record of this.

Oil Back at $90 as Growth Gains Pace
Rising demand for petroleum—notably from U.S. motorists and Chinese manufacturers—has helped push oil above $90 a barrel for the first time since the early days of the financial crisis.
The recovery in oil prices is an encouraging sign of world growth, but the spike in crude, if unchecked, also could pose problems for consumers whose incomes remain pinched.
Crude oil closed above $90 on the New York Mercantile Exchange on...

Population Ecology
- the study of the number of individuals of a particular species that are found in an area and how and why those numbers change over time
Population Density
- the number of individuals of a population per unit of habitat area
- e.g., the number of Grassquits per hectare
- e.g., the number of snapper per litre of sea water
Population Size
- the number of individuals making up a population
Population size changes due to:
• births
• deaths
• immigration
• emigration
Birth Rate (b)
- also called crude birth rate
- number of birthsper 1,000 individuals in a population in a given year
Death Rate (d)
- also called crude death rate
- number of deaths per 1,000 individuals in a population in a given year
Immigration (i)
- movement of individuals into a population
Emigration (e)
- movement of individuals out of a population
Growth Rate (r)
- also called annual rate of natural population change
r = b – d
r = (b + i) – (d + e)
Biotic Potential
- maximum rate at which a population can increase when there are no limits on its growth
Exponential Growth
- growth in population size increases by a fixed percentage of the whole in a given time period
- yields a J-shaped curve
J-shaped Growth Curve
Environmental Resistance
- all the factors jointly acting to limit the growth of a population
Carrying Capacity
- number of individuals of a given species that can be sustained indefinitely in a given area
Carrying Capacity
A population grows exponentially until it is acted on by limiting factors that cause the growth to level off at the carrying capacity.
Number of Individual Organisms
Density Dependent Checks on Population Growth
- where some limiting factors become more influential as a population's density increases
- examples:
• competition for resources
• predation
• parasitism
• disease
Density Independent Checks on Population Growth
- exert their effects on population regardless of population density
- examples:
• floods
• hurricanes
• severe droughts
• fire
• temperature
There are 2 types of overpopulation:
1. People Overpopulation
2. Consumption Overpopulation

The service was good, the waitress was friendly.
The one thing I didn't like was the bench seats they
were a bit dirty, and they were white so they really need

Olivier Giroud: This is why I signed a new Arsenal deal
OLIVIER GIROUD insisted he is delighted after he signed a new deal with Arsenal.
Giroud arrived at Arsenal from Montpellier in 2012, and has gone on to score 91 goals in 206 games for the club.
The France international signed a new long-term deal with the Gunners yesterday.
And despite a frustrating first half of the season, Giroud insists it was an easy decision to renew his contract.
"Yes, it was a frustrating few months," Giroud told Arsenal's official website.
Arsenal star Olivier Giroud
I think it was the moment for me to sign a new contract with the club
"But obviously we were talking about a new contract since the beginning of the year, so I am very happy to carry on this good adventure with the Arsenal family.
"That's it, I am very delighted with the club, the boss and myself.
"I want to win even more trophies so hopefully it's going to be this year."
Giroud's team-mate Mesut Ozil admitted last week the future of Arsene Wenger was key to him signing a new deal.
Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin have all signed new Arsenal deals
Wenger is out of contract at the end of the season, and Giroud admitted the future of the Gunners boss was also key in his decision to re-sign.
"I hope that he is going to stay. He built this club and I don't think he will leave, we hope," Giroud added.
"So I wanted to [renew] and I think it was the moment for me to sign a new contract with the club and we're going to hope that he signs himself as well and a couple of other players to the club as well."
Giroud's fellow Frenchmen Laurent Koscielny and Francis Coquelin have also signed new long-term deals with the Gunners.

Baby Snowsuit
In general it will be a nightmare to most parents to protect their kids during the cold seasons. As seasons are inevitable it is the responsibility of every parent to prepare themselves for the cold season and accordingly make their kids to feel the warmth during such hard times. The popular Baby Snowsuit comes very handy for those parents to dress up their kids for the season. This special garment is same like the other clothes but provides protection from head to toes. As many kids have thin scalp parents should not allow their kids to expose to very cold temperatures.
Baby snowsuit- Well known for its functionality
More than the aesthetic value the popular baby snowsuit is rightly known for its functionality. It offers a perfect protection to the small kids especially the outer skin and head. These clothes come in various thickness and parents need to check the weather conditions of their location. While on travel they need to check the temperature of their destinations.
While selecting the baby snowsuit one has to consider the surroundings during the morning hours as well the night times. This will help the parents to decide the thickness of the snowsuit while buying from the shops. In the areas with very frigid winters the child needs more insulation and accordingly the thickness of the snowsuit should be selected. If the kids are not outside during the cold seasons, a minimal insulation can be selected. Thick snowsuits are needed for taking the kids for a quick trip.
a) Exposure is the key; whether for short or long time and kids have the ability catch up cold at a faster rate than the adults as they have less immunity than the adults.
For regular indoor use it is always recommended to choose the design of the snowsuits with light in weight which are easy to wear. Parents should note that their kids should move freely with the baby snowsuits on. It is always right to check the materials before the purchase of these snowsuits. If the materials are of poor quality the cloth may not last long and also not good for the skin. One can easily check the materials used in these suits and most of them carry the safety standards. If not kids will have some allergies from the fibers coming out of the poor quality fabrics.
Designs of baby snowsuit
Baby snowsuit comes from various designs. The color of the suit can be selected as per the individual taste. Pastel and some neutral colors are mostly preferred for kids. While selecting the design of the Baby Snowsuit, great care is needed to check the comfort of the kids while using the cloths. When it comes to the matter of kids, comfort should be considered as a priority over the fashion. Parents need to balance these two things and according select the right brand of baby snowsuits.
Use internet to see the variety
In today's context the online purchases are becoming more common. With the help of technology parents can able to access many online marketers who deal baby snowsuits at an affordable price. Well known online marketers are considered to be the best while selecting these special cloths for the kids.
With the existence of online shopping, parents can have more details of the materials used for the suits. This seems to be a prime factor when it comes for the safety aspect for the children. Sample images too can be seen while doing the online shopping. Also the virtual models can be seen so that parents can dress up the outfit that would look like.
Cleaning of a baby snowsuit
Cleaning of baby snowsuit is an important aspect that needs to be looked into by every parent. As soon as the cold weather breaks it is the responsibility of the parents to clean the suit properly and keep them away from the other cloths until the next cold season. Using the services of the professional drycleaners seems to be the best choice one could take in cleaning the baby snowsuits. By this more safety is ensured as well the suit is well cleaned as per the specified temperatures given by the manufacturers. Also dry cleaners use the right amount of wash so nothing is torn off the suit and make it for longer use.

1 recipe photo
READY IN:34mins
YIELD:5 1/2 dozen
Ingredients Nutrition
For The Dough
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 8 ounces unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

Developing the international ex situ collections of the CGIAR centers, including the skills to manage, study, and make available their contents, has made a major contribution to crop improvement around the world.
However, because genebanks have long-term objectives and are remote from development outcomes, this has not always been recognized, and funding levels have been inconsistent and unpredictable. At the same time, Article 15 of the International Treaty commits the CGIAR centers to making material in the international genebanks they manage available for the long term under the Multilateral System (Halewood et al., 2013). The Crop Trust was established in 2004 as an independent international organization with the aim of guaranteeing stable, predictable and perpetual funding to the genebanks of CGIAR through the mechanism of an endowment fund. This is recognized as an essential element of the funding strategy of the International Treaty. A variety of external audits and reviews confirm that the Crop Trust has the necessary systems and capacities in place for sound technical and financial management (Box 7).
Through a partnership with the CGIAR Consortium Office called the Genebanks CGIAR Research Program (Genebanks CRP), funding from which complements the endowment contribution, the Crop Trust ensures that the genebanks of CGIAR are performing at agreed high standards and have the capacity to sustain essential operations in perpetuity (Crop Trust, 2015). The commitment to stable, predictable and perpetual funding is necessary because collections will require constant management into the distant future, and disruptions or shortfalls in funding create not just inefficiencies, but also backlogs that can leave crop diversity at risk of permanent loss. This work is "a vital safeguard against hunger" (The Economist, 2015).
Since the Genebanks CRP started in 2012, the international genebanks have distributed more than 300,000 accessions to users in 120 countries; regenerated more than 200,000 accessions; sub-cultured more than 100,000 tissue-culture samples; and acquired more than 30,000 new accessions. Aside from the individual achievements of the centers, the collaboration between the CGIAR genebanks over many years has brought about a number of globally significant outcomes, including:
- The use of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault as a fail-safe seed storage facility, built to stand the test of time and the challenges of natural and man-made disasters. The importance of the Vault was brought into sharp relief in September 2015 by the decision of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) genebank to retrieve its safety duplicates from the Arctic in order to re-establish its collection in Morocco, given the inaccessibility of its former facility in Aleppo, Syria (Conlon, 2015).
- The development of the global online portal Genesys (www.genesys-pgr.org). This is fast becoming the main window through which users may access accession-level information not just from individual genebanks, but across genebanks, on genepools as a whole.
- The launch of DivSeek (www.divseek.org), an initiative that aims to enable breeders and researchers to leverage modern biotechnologies and bioinformatics to more effectively mobilize plant genetic variation in the service of crop improvement.
- The establishment of a quality management system tailored specifically to genebanks, based on a history of developing and sharing best practices, protocols and guidelines.
The Genebanks CRP provides a centralized mechanism by which the activities of 11 CGIAR centers managing 850,000 accessions in 35 crop and tree collections are financed and monitored through the use of common performance targets, regular online reporting and a rigorous external review processes. In the past, genebanks competed poorly for funding within research programs, and numerous routine genebank activities were chronically under-resourced. Through the Crop Trust, the Genebanks CRP has not only secured adequate funding for the essential operations of the genebanks, but is also allowing the Centers to make strategic investments in optimizing operations. The Crop Trust provides a long-term solution that is technically and financially credible to an urgent problem that, though often overlooked, is eminently soluble.
Box 7. Financial transparency and efficiency of the Crop Trust
In 2015, the Crop Trust worked with various auditors who undertook reviews of its projects and activities, including PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), KfW and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). Overall, the audits confirmed that the Crop Trust has the necessary systems and capacities in place for the sound financial management of the endowment fund and bilateral projects. Further audits to be conducted by CGIAR Internal Audit and the CGIAR Fund Office Independent Evaluation Arrangement (IEA) are planned for late 2015 and 2016.
The Crop Trust also conducted financial reviews of its largest partner in one of its major projects, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK, as well as CGIAR centre genebanks, in order to understand and monitor expenditures. In the process, it introduced new measures for greater transparency and accountability. In addition, the Crop Trust welcomed the opportunity to provide donors, particularly the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Gates Foundation and NORAD, with detailed operating expenditure analysis, as requested.

Twinning Studies via Experiments and DFT-Mesoscale Formulation
HuseyinSehitoglu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,DMR 0803270
Evolution of different types of twins during deformation in the martensitic state is shown. Type II twins are visible from an austenitic transformation, and undergo a detwinning process at the beginning of the deformation. Afterwards, three twin systems (001), (100) and have been experimentally observed.
Twin Migration Energies (TME) are shown for three twin modes, Type II-1 (transformation twin), (001) and (100) planes respectively in NiTi. TME is calculated using density functional theory. TME points to the energy barrier during the twin growth process and can be utilized for twin migration stress calculations.

Ezaz, T. H. Sehitoglu, Type II Detwinning in NiTi, Applied Physics Letters,98,14, 2011
Identification of different twin systems in martensiticNiTi is accomplished utilizing digital image correlation (DIC) . DIC captures the high local strain field near the deformation twins. The results are also confirmed with TEM. The angles between (001) and (100) and (100) and twin are measured to be 97.80 and 180 respectively.
Theoretical twin growth stress is calculated using twin migration energy and compared with theoretical slip stress. We note that twin migration stress is lower compared to slip, and this is the fundamental reason why shape memory behavior is observed in NiTi. The twin migration stress of 165 MPa is consistent with experiments. Deformation by slip produces irrecoverable plastic strain whereas twinning deformation is recoverable.

(001) twin
Twin formation mechanism in (001) and (100) is found to be different even though these two twins are conjugate of each other. Twinning partial forms in (001)[100] system and aids the nucleation and growth of twins. However, no twinning partial is possible in the (100) plane, and twinning occurs with a combination shear and shuffle mechanism only. Atomistic details on the left show the exact movement during the twin growth process.

The energy barrier calculations for slip and twin systems in (001)[100] (top) and (100)[001] (bottom) respectively are shown for NiTimartensite. The slip energy barrier (GSFE) and the twin energy barrier (GPFE) share the same path up to the formation of twinning partial in the top-right curve pointing to the existence of the twinning partial during twin formation in (001) plane. However, slip and twin energy paths are different for the (100)[001] twin. Shuffles of atoms reduce the barrier upon required shear during twin formation in (100) plane and facilitate twinning growth.

Patti, try to give it a little time first. I can't imagine how you must feel physically, but i do know how you feel mentally. I am afraid I cannot help you with your physical problems, as they are out of the realm of internal medicine. Steroids can make you feel euphoric at first, then when reduced or stopped cause a bad depression in some people, especially people who already suffer depression, as you do. It will pass, that part at least. Don't do anything drastic yet!
Do you have ANYBODY, you can call, a therapist or whoever treats you for your depression? Better yet, your depression is what is making you the most miserable right now (that's the only thing that makes us consider suicide). I really do suggest you get yourself not to the ER, but do a psychiatric hospital so they can stabilize you intensely. You need help, hon.
Why does your hubby live so far away, with you being sick and all? Are you separated? I know it's none of my business, but with more info, maybe some of us can come up with something to do. You are too close to the situation and aren't thinking clearly.
Please either get to a hospital or just resist the urge to kill yourself. You don't really want to do that, or you wouldn't have written in here.
Please let us know what is going on with you.
Hi, Patti, I am glad to see your still with us!
I think that's a very unfortunate situation. Why don't YOU put yourself in a hospital? Why do you need his permission? It's YOUR mental health, which at the moment isn't so hot!
I don't mean to sound bossy or mean, but you are in trouble, young lady! Sometimes it's really the hardest thing in the world to take control of our own mental health; the nature of the illness is that we can't think straight. But I know that you know you need immediate help, and that doesn't mean making an appointment with your GP or some family counselor! Please go either tonight or tomorrow. You have many other issues to deal with, (your marriage), but you cannot do that effectively unless you get some help. If you take control of it, and get on the proper psych meds, then when you start to feel a little better emotionally, you can work on sorting out what to do in your life to make things better. Obviously, your marriage can't be healthy with you living away because you don't fit in with other doctors' wives! Doesn't your marriage mean more to you than that? I do agree that your husband could make a tad less money and compromise here, tho. I am NOT saying it's your fault! What I see (from what you said so far) is two stubborn people who need to come to some kind of compromise. You need to work together. When you are apart, the emotional closeness fades away, and you can lose sight of what is really important. That should be each other above all else - money, social circle, whatever.
Don't get me wrong, I have been in the company of docs and their wives for many years, and I know exactly what you are saying. Nurses are better, aren't they LOL! I do understand, becuase I would never fit in there, either. Their wives are very empty and their only joy in life is spending their husbands money and celebrating the imperfections of others. It's sad, I agree. Being a doc's wife is hard, no matter how you slice it, but I really think given their schedules, the wife needs to be the hardest worker to keep it together. I get the feeling that he wouldn't be agreeable to marriage counseling, so if he's not, I suggest you go. You need some help there, too.
I believe marriage is sooooo important, especially to those of us with problems. We need to know someone is there to love us in spite of ourselves, and we need somebody to love, to take our minds off ourselves some, too. If there is any hope of making things better with your hubby, please try. Make that your project and you will have much less room to focus on your problems, physical or mental.
Well, if you didn't fall asleep or get pissed at me, thanks for listening. Everybody who knows me knows I have this insatiable need to help other people. I am opinionated, and sometimes I piss people off. I really need to try to learn the art of diplomacy, I'm told, haha! But you know what? It's only because I only comment on what I know, what I have been through. Relationships (the love kind) are kind of my specialty. I have had a million (unsuccessful, obviously), so I learned alot, but my marriage has taught me more than any of them. From living in seperate bedrooms for 2 years (no sex, obviously) to getting stable and having a dream marriage with ****o quality sex, haha! No joke. The love was always there, I was not. I believe it can be fixed, as long as both people want it to. Why not call up your hubby and arrange to cook a nice dinner, no one else at home, or go to a nice hotel and get away for a couple of days to talk about what you both want, becuase I don't think you can be too happy the way things are. Funny, I suffered IBS with major diarrhea and vomiting, was emaciated, depressed or manic, migraines, back pain, etc. my whole life. I was sick all the time. When I got it together with the psych meds, I haven't had so much as a cold in the past 2 years. It all went away. It is possible, Patti. You just have to want it enough to work your ass off to get it.
I do care, hon, I know it's hard. I know. But you sound like you do have a strong spirit, you're just worn down. It's not over, Patti.
Be strong, let us know how you are doing, OK?
Hey, Nickie! Funny you should say maybe it's bipolar, haha! I think so. Or maybe it's nurses! Most of the ones I've met over the years are opinionated and real good at telling other people what to do, but don't often follow their own advice, me included! Well, now I do, but it took a loooong time!
How are you today, Patti? Please write in and let us know, since we haven't heard from you today. We are thinking of you.
Patti, I e-mailed you did you get it. Please with all that is going on, let me know you are okay!
Hi friends and loved ones Before I go into "me" I want to start by saying to Nickie how terribly sorry I am for your loss. Lord knows how difficult it is in this world to find decent people, and then to lose him must be devastating. Always remember how much YOU mean to us ! And (not to sound like a 3rd grade teacher) what have we learned from Nickie's misfortune? That being blunt (like we all are..lol) may not be so bad. If only your friend had reached out to you like we do, things may have been different. Lets just do a quick test (humor me).Shannon, Nickie, Patti and Pepper: Highly opinionated, warm souls, giving/loving hearts, perfectionists, obsessive (sure there is more but my brain is little) all these things and more equal us 4 girls! No offense intended to anyone not mentioned, I am going by those that spoke regarding the post. So, I certainly believe that all these traits are part of the illness we share. Did I mention the 4 hottest chicks since Sex and the City,(what am I saying, THEY GOT NOTHING ON US!) Now, I will try to keep this short. I am feeling a lil better, I am seeing an improvement in my colitis and that is important. I got some pain meds from my Gastro for the headaches I am getting from the meds (can u say:vicious cycle!) Shannon, you said things I did not want to hear, even tho they were true and I thank you. Nickie, I didnt receive your email, but thank you for reaching out, and understanding who I am (I SO LOVED the "screw your neighbors" remark).Pepper, I am sorry u left Florida, we could be at the beach right now and I could have another neice! Speaking of neices, my sister is on her way over w/my neice, so let me stop crying and put my "Lauren" (my neice's name) face on. She gets so sad when I am sad. Unfortunately for you ladies, I still want to talk about my BAD day, but they will be here any minit. I will be back soon. You all mean so much to me. I just ask, where are you!!!
Love and good health,

I'm always shocked when I've actually read a book on a book list since I'm definitely in a reading slump lately. But! I've read Tell The Wolves I'm Home and from what I can remember really liked it and think it was book club worthy!
- April 24, 2015 at 1:42 PM

We read The Husband's Secret and it makes a good book club book because it's engaging, everyone wanted to finish and there's a lot to talk about. If your book club is anything like mine you might want to hold off on The Girl on the Train because it's impossible to get from the library in any sort of timeline. BUT, if you're book buyers and not borrowers, then go for it because people are LOVING that book.

I'm reading The Girl on the Train now and from reviews it seems like Gone Girl in that you either really love it or really don't (so good discussion book!). I read Tell the Wolves I'm Home and was totally underwhelmed, but again, so many people love it, that could lead to great conversation. Haven't read the others!

All of my book clubbing friends are recommending All The Light We Cannot See right now. I was just lent a copy. I read the prologue and thought it was very well written. However. It's set in WWII under Nazi occupation, and I just don't do that setting. I know I won't read it, but I can't knock it for any other reason than WWII burnout on my part. It's supposed to be a book that is a good fit for book club discussion.

- Elsha said...
I haven't read any of those (though some are on my list!) but my bookclub just did The Language of Flowers & everyone enjoyed it.
- April 24, 2015 at 3:23 PM
We're reading The Husband's Secret this month, but I haven't read it yet so I'm not sure how good it is.
We read All the Light I Cannot See a couple months ago and I didn't love it.
- April 25, 2015 at 8:32 AM
- Shannon said...
I've read The Girl on the Train, The Husband's Secret, All the Light We Cannot See, and Tell the Wolves I'm Home. Depending on your bookclub, All the Light We Cannot See and Tell the Wolves I'm Home are heavier reads. All the Light almost made me cry and I NEVER cry. The Husband's Secret was really good (although I prefer Big Little Lies by her) and good for a more..."chick-lit" focused group. And Girl on the Train is good if the group likes mystery/thrillers like Gone Girl. But all of them are very good, very engaging. You can't really go wrong with any of those.
- April 25, 2015 at 6:56 PM
- Miss Makeup Tips said...
Your reading tastes appear to be very similar to mine! Have you read anything by Colleen Hoover? If not, I highly recommend Slammed. I enjoy Doerr's books, but haven't yet read All the Light...may have to check that one out next. Let us know which one you pick.

Stewart still looking for a shot
CINCINNATI – Walter Stewart knows he has a decision to make. The former University of Cincinnati defensive end believes he can still play football. He needs a team to believe that he can.
Since suffering a sprained neck last early last season, an injury which led to the discovery that he had been born without the posterior arch of his C1 vertebra, Stewart has been seeking a chance. Doctors initially told him he would never play football again but he found one in Dr. James Elder, a neurosurgeon at Ohio State University, who gave him the clearance to begin working out again for the purpose of returning to the field.
While teams around the NFL, including the Bengals, are hosting rookie mini-camps and conducting offseason workout programs, Stewart is still searching for someone to believe in him.
Stewart went unselected in last month's NFL Draft. He's so far gone unsigned as a free agent and he's not in anyone's camp for a tryout. He is well aware of the risks but believes that's mostly from the unknown.
"I was a little surprised because I expected to get a shot. It didn't work out that way so I'm still in limbo, trying to see what is going on and wait and see what happens," said Stewart in a conversation with Fox Sports Ohio this week. "My attitude is still the same. A lot of stuff is out of my control. When it comes to medical stuff, it's hard because I feel like a majority of the time I'm pleading my health as opposed to showing my health."
The Columbus native was considered a top draft prospect at the beginning of last season, possibly even a first-round candidate depending on how his senior season went. Stewart was credited with 149.5 tackles in his UC career, including 114 solo stops. He had 17.5 sacks, 34.5 tackles for loss, eight forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, 10 passes defensed and one interception.
Despite the injury, he got an invite to the NFL scouting combine in February. He was ready to work out there before his medical exam came back and doctors red-flagged him. He participated in UC's pro day in March, signing a waiver before being allowed to do so, and showed well by unofficially running 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash, 4.40 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle and 7.22 seconds in the 3-cone drill. He had a broad jump of 10 feet, 3 inches, a vertical leap of 37. 5 inches and had 16 reps on the 225-pound bench press.
None of that was enough to get teams to overlook his congenital medical condition.
"When I first got hurt I was under the impression that I could slip on ice and severely injure myself," said Stewart. "That was the major concern until we got more into it and got more information about it and realized it's a congenital thing. A lot of people are born without a lot of stuff and they're just fine.
"I've been playing football my whole life and I've never had any issue. Had I not sprained my neck I probably would have never known and nobody would have known and I would have been playing football and doing what I've been doing. It's a situation where now that we know it's a congenital issue, how do we assess the risks? It's such a rare defect that nobody knows. That's the main issue."
Stewart worked out for the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL last weekend and said he got some good feedback from the coaches and scouts who were there. Teams in the CFL will have to make the same risk assessment on Stewart that teams in the NFL have been through.
Michael Munoz was thought to be a high-round draft prospect in 2005. Munoz, the son of Bengals Hall of Fame left tackle Anthony Munoz, had been a star at Moeller High School and at the University of Tennessee. He also had bad knees. A knee injury forced him to miss the entire 2001 season but he came back and finished out his career with accolades.
Munoz went undrafted. He and his family were stunned. None of his father's friends or contacts around the league bothered to call him and give them a heads up that Michael's knees were red flags for teams. Unlike Stewart, Munoz did get some offers to sign as a free agent. He declined.
Now eight years later, Michael Munoz is the father of three and is working with his dad at their own public relations/sports marketing firm, The Munoz Agency.
"There were a lot of people around me that I went to for advice and at the end of the day you have to realize that while you love sports, you love athletics – I'm still around it today – and I love being around it but there's a lot of life to live," said Munoz. "Every time it gets to be about summer and group workouts would be starting, that decision comes back, but for Walter he's got to decide what are the doctors telling him? What are the people around him telling him? Those that he respects their opinion. Is this something that he wants to take a chance on? It's tough."
Stewart was making plans for graduate school and getting into coaching when he and his family found second opinions that said he didn't have to give up playing. His family supports his decision. Grad school and coaching is an option, but he wants to fully exhaust the possibility of playing before he goes down that path.
"If I knew that I was endangering myself, I wouldn't do it," said Stewart. "I'm only 22 years old and I wouldn't take that chance but I really believe that I'm fine. I don't have any pain. I've never had any pain that was associated with that type of injury. It was just one of those situations."
