"Whoever causes one of these little children who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Mark 9:42
Muhammad, a self-proclaimed prophet, was an evil man, a disgusting sexual pervert and a child molesting pig! When Muhammad died Aisha was just a teenager but she had already been forced to spend over half her life married to this surah vomiting dog.
Muhammad stated that his greatest spiritual revelations came while on her bed when he rested his head in Aisha's lap. Aisha stated he frequently did this during her menstrual cycle. This helps account for the teachings of the Prophet of Islam being a nauseating spiritual stench and physically cramping lifestyle of evil.
The truth about this child molesting 'prophetic pig' is confirmed in many nauseating fashions in the hadith, fatwahs and decrees. We will look at but a few.
Muhammad would 'thigh with baby Aisha'.
The permanent committee for the scientific research and fatwahs (religious decrees) presented to the grand mufti Abu Abdullah Muhammad al-Shemary their finding number 1809 on 3/8/1421 (Islamic calendar) surrounding this matter. "As for the prophet, peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, thighing his fiancée Aisha. She was six years of age and he could not have intercourse with her due to her small age. That is why [the prophet] peace and prayer of Allah be upon him, placed his [male] member between her thighs and massaged it softly, as the apostle of Allah had control of his [male] member not like other believers."
Muhammad's wives had to be available for the prophet's fondling even when they were having their menstrual period.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6:300: "Narrated Maimuna: When ever Allah's Apostle wanted to fondle any of his wives during the periods (menses), he used to ask her to wear an Izar."
After she had reached age of menstruation Muhammad would bath with young Aisha and continued his practice of fondling her.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6:298: "Narrated 'Aisha: The prophet and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were junub (ritually impure due to sexual intercourse or seminal discharge). During the menses, he used to order me to put on an izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While in itikaf (a period of devotion for ritual purity), he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to be in my periods (menses).
The Prophet of Islam would recite the 'Holy Qur'an' with his head in Aisha's lap when she was menstruating.
Sahih al-Bukhari 93:639: "Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to recite the Qur'an with his head in my lap while I used to be in my periods (having menses)."
As with all his wives young Aisha would wash semen stains off Muhammad's clothes from his ejaculating.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4:231: "Narrated Sulaiman bin Aasar: I asked 'Aisha about the clothes soiled with semen. She replied, "I used to wash it off the clothes of Allah's apostle and he would go for the prayer while water spots were still visible. " There is not enough 'outer darkness' to hide such men as this from the flames of 'the eternal Lake of Fire'.
Does something smell funny about Iqbal Massod Al-Nadvi? We must ask this old Islamic Dog, the Chairman of the Canadian Council of Imams: Whose menstrual cloths have you been wiping your face with? And, do you have control of your 'male member' to the same degree as your 'model prophet'? After all, your false Prophet, the founder of Islam, and "the apostle of Allah had control of his [male] member not like other believers".
He certainly could not control his perversions. This is the great Prophet of Islam who received the best part of his 'divine revelation' from having his face jammed in the menstruating crotch of a little girl. You Islamic faithful get your divine directives from a child molester's bed while engaged in his pedophilia with a child.
Sahih al-Bukhari 47:755: "Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aisha: The wives of Allah's Apostle were in two groups. One group consisted of 'Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Apostle. The Muslims knew that Allah's Apostle loved 'Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and wished to give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah's Apostle had come to 'Aisha's home and then he would send his gift to Allah's Apostle in her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the matter together and decided that Um Salama should request Allah's Apostle to tell the people to send their gifts to him in whatever wife's house he was. Um Salama told Allah's Apostle of what they had said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him till he gives you a reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to her, "Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of the beds except that of Aisha."
All this is definitive proof that the Qur'an and examples given by Muhammad endorse pedophilia, something that is considered by many people to be the most serious of all sexual crimes. And this is the Islam that all true followers of the Qur'an are commanded to embrace and demand that we should follow the role model of Muhammad if we are to be enlightened as they are.
Does all this sink in? Muslim husbands are allowed to consummate marriage with their child-wives. By permitting men to have sex with minors, Islam legitimizes and sanctions an act that is regarded as pedophilia by what ever is left of the supposed civilized world. And, the Prophet of Islam set the example Muslims are to follow when he married a six-year-old child.
Muhammad was clearly a pedophile and used the Islamic teachings to justify his actions and condone the same for his followers. Highly problematic is that the Qur'an commands the Muslims they are to emulate the practices of the Prophet. Thus, we have a clear-cut case of sanctioning and promoting pedophilia if one truly is a follower of Islam. Such endorsement is also the reason that Sharia law does not set a minimum age for marriage. Promoting and approving marriages and sexual copulation with pre-pubescent little girls that haven't even started menstruating is an evil that simply cannot be tolerated.
This is what you invite into Canada when you permit entry of Islam in any manner. Islam must be driven out of Canada and it shall be, preferably through Legal Action. If not, there are elements at play that shall see it is driven out by force.
It is a righteous action with God that this take place. Are you so blind you cannot see the Truth in what I state?
Galatians 4:16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

The now infamous YouTube legend PewDiePie had quite a year last year.
Back in September 2017, PewDiePie managed to receive another DMCA takedown request.
This time the developers of Firewatch went after PewDiePie.
Because PewDiePie (again) used a racial slur.
Not only that, he used it in the middle of live streaming another video game title.
So why didn't PewDiePie make the headlines that time around?
Well, he didn't because of his profile.
There is one more reason though.
Even though Firewatch issued an official DMCA takedown request, the fact of the matter is that neither the game nor its developers were directly involved in the incident.
But let's focus on what the incident represented.
It represented a rather rare instance in streaming.
For, perhaps the first time, we saw a developer asserting its legal right over its product.
And from that moment onwards, we continued to see legal issues arising between game streamers and game makers.
No one would like to argue the fact that video games are indeed the best form of interactive medium.
Despite that, recent years have given us a whole game industry that people such as YouTube streamer PewDiePie have grown and propagated.
Now we have hundreds if not thousands of video game streamers online.
In fact, now video game streamers publish their content on multiple platforms.
Twitch is the latest in the long series of online publishing platforms where streamers regularly attract audiences in the thousands via live streaming on the site.
There is also the hugely popular Let's Play video series.
And then there are the other hundred types of video content available for free on YouTube.
Video games and video gaming have moved, or rather evolved, from things that players did alone in their homes.
They have evolved into something that people watch other people do on online platforms without actually interacting with the game.
Consequently, these online personalities and streamers have grown a lot in terms of their popularity.
But so has the very relevant discussion about rights of developers and rights of streamings.
Especially with regards to the actual content.
Does the fair use policy cover streaming?
Because after all, these YouTube content creators are making money off someone else's product.
Some believe that the original creators of any and all games should have more say in issues such as how streamers use their product while streaming it to the public eye.
Then there is the issue of streamers sharing their profits that they earn from their streams with the developers of the game.
Big developers such as Microsoft as well as Ubisoft have actually shown a good amount of willingness to go ahead and work with some of these streamers.
They have also encouraged them to stream more of their games.
And even earn from them.
On the other hand, companies such as Nintendo haven't taken the same route.
In fact, Nintendo has now become known for viciously enforcing the company's copyrights in areas such as streaming and live streaming.
Apart from Nintendo, publishers such as Atlus too tried to enforce a strict policy for others to stream its premier title Persona 5.
Of course, Atlus then had to bear the brunt of a huge pushback from the company.
Resultantly, the company changed its initial policy regarding Persona 5 streaming.
If anyone wants to dig into each and every side of the current discussion regarding games and streamers of those games, then one must cast a rather wide net.
The only problem with such an approach is that YouTube normally does not allow people on its platform to go on record.
The same goes for other streaming platforms such as Twitch which also has never liked to involve itself in such a debate.
But what about the developer side of the argument?
Wel, there too we have seen too much encouragement.
One of the handful of developers who have agreed to offer a statement is Camp Santo.
And they too have recorded a small one.
Regardless, they have actually supported streamers.
Apart from that, they also did not have to do anything with discussions surrounding games and streaming games.
This is also what most other developers prefer.
When reporters reached out to Riot Games for a comment, the company pointed reports to its official legal policy page.
Along with that, Riot Games added that the company had nothing more to add to the discussion.
Some Ars Technica reports did manage to talk to a number of streamers.
They also got hold of a lawyer to understand more about the legal side of the whole argument.
This was perhaps the best move.
Because this would allow Ars Technica reporters and everyone else to look and then understand all sides of the streaming situation.
This would also allow them to capture a rather complete picture of some, if not all, of the existing school of thoughts that are surrounding issues related to streaming content of video games via online platforms.
Moreover, this also enables everyone to talk about what the industry needs to do in order to change the situation as it exists in the industry today.
Regardless of the discussion or other issues, video game streamers will continue to work and pump out new videos as fast as they can.
The same goes for developers of these games as well.
No one can really stop developers from developing more games and more quickly either.
Even then, there is a slight uncertainty about the future of video game streaming.
Defining Relationships in Terms of Advertising
Let's take a look at Naka teleeli.
Teleeli is a YouTube video game streamer.
He posted his first video on YouTube way back in 2008.
Naka has also posted gameplay videos of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.
And in one of those videos, Teleeli made quite an effort to informatively present the history of the game and the series.
Only after doing so did Teleeli went ahead with his epic narration of Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap's into text.
Most of the time Teleeli makes videos using the "Let's Play" format.
This is basically a format where a YouTube streamer would play a game as usual.
But in addition to that, the YouTube streamer would also provide the audience with a bit of audio commentary.
Most of Teleeli's videos follow this format.
But his main focus is on playing retro titles.
Sometimes he also posts videos on indie titles as well.
At the time of writing this report, Teleeli had managed to amass around 40,000 YouTube subscribers.
When Ars Technica approached him for a comment on the streamer vs developer issue he said that he did understand the legal side of the argument.
He actually pointed out that he considered the whole issue to fall in a rather big grey area.
Taleeli added that both sides had several legitimate arguments.
Including that basically, all the content that streamers showed actually belonged to the original perform who made the game.
Some say that the streaming community has done something transformative.
Teleeli reiterated his feelings that he honestly tried to understand both sides of the issue.
Because, according to Teleeli, developers made the content and hence own it as well.
At the same time, Teleeli told Ars Technica, he considered streaming as something transformative for the viewer.
Well, one of the reasons why Teleeli sees streaming as a transformative experience is that viewers who are actually watching the videos aren't' exactly playing the video game per se.
There is little doubt about the fact that the literal imagery that viewers are consuming may actually be the same.
In other words, one the face of it, both watchers of the game and players of the game as experiencing the same imagery.
But as far as input experiences go, they are very different.
Teleeli admits the fact that the whole point of video games is that people should play them.
If someone removes that and then adds something of his/her own on top, then that is a transformative experience according to Teleeli.
Teleeli says that streamers add their own commentary along with their own reactions and the way they progress through any given game.
They also react to any given situation within a game on their own.
And that reaction is unique to them.
Taleeli told Ars Technica that he thinks that is a very transformative experience if one really thinks about it hard.
Naka also believes, that one cannot consider watching a given Let's Play video the same thing as someone else playing the actual video game.
Because they aren't even remotely similar.
Playing a game on your own is vastly different from watching someone else do it on a screen.
But that's just Teleeli's opinion.
He views the two experiences as fundamentally different.
And Teleeli's knows it.
While talking to Ars Technica he pointed out that most of the content that he puts up and people see, still belongs to the developer.
And both participants, viewers and players, are fundamentally seeing the same thing.
Hence, he understands both sides of the situation.
He told Ars Technica that personally, he held the opinion that the community had to hit some kind of a middle ground.
More precisely, a legal middle ground.
That's, according to Teleeli, would be the best solution to the problem at hand.
In short, Teleeli considers Let's Play videos as transformative.
And legal.
He also considers them as something that is completely allowed.
With that said, even a streamer like Teleeli has his worries about some aspects of the streaming business.
Teleeli told Ars that if somebody had the time and the determination to put their mind to the task then they could easily get YouTube to take the channel down.
He also agrees to some extent that developers should have the authority over streamers.
And a legal right in order to control the gameplay footage of games that they own.
However, Teleeli does not seem to agree with how developers/platforms/viewers flag some content and why they do so.
Taleeli has also heard many stories about how people preferred to watch videos of certain games rather than buying and then playing the game personally.
But again, he doesn't think that developers should count those people as lost sales.
Because people who made the choice of watching instead of playing probably would not have taken the pains to purchase the video game title in any case.
Interestingly enough, Teleeli also mentioned that he heard many people who told him that they had actually gone out and bought a particular video game just because they saw him play the game beforehand.
Therefore, if everybody saw that as a form of advertisement, then according to Teleeli it is a pretty nice deal for developers as well as streamers.
That's why he mentioned to Ars Technica that he thought most open developers had actually started to work with streamers.
And they coordinated with them on how to make videos for their video game titles.
The more that happens, the better it would be for all parties involved.
Because, as mentioned before, Teleeli thinks streamers are actually people who are, in his opinion, working hard to advertise their games.
While talking on the subject of streamers, Teleeli thinks that content creators should work hard to be outgoing and friendly.
Additionally, they should also make sure that they keep a close control over streams that they have made with their products.
He also added that the biggest thing he wanted as a streamer was for things to stay the same.
Exactly how they are right now.
Along with that, he wants content creators and developers to simply cooperate more and show more forthcoming behavior.
Of course, there are other streamers who think that developers shouldn't have much say in what a streamer says or what the streamer streams or the manner in which the streamer streams a content.
Instead, they believe that instead of developers stepping in when a streamer does something reprehensible, YouTube or the platform itself should come in.
And lay out the rules and regulations.
What Does The Law Say?
Streamers have the right to have an idea about what they do and how they make their livelihood.
That bears no impact on what the law is.
Or if the law will automatically come to their aid if something does go wrong.
Many lawyers, law watchers and legal researchers have started to keep an eye on questions related to streamers.
And how they stream content.
As mentioned before, developers generally tend to stay away from talking about the subject.
Lawyers though, are different.
Ars Technica managed to speak with one lawyer who had information within this realm in order to another, and legal, view on an industry that is fast becoming too complex.
The founding partner of Morrison/Lee (a law firm), Ryan Morrison told Ars that there were presently several schools of legal thought from both sides.
His legal firm specializes in topics such as,
Morrison told Ars Technica that he though most legally correct response (at the moment) was that most streams and Let's Play videos were derivative works.
Hence these streams infringed copyrights if the streamer did not have a proper license from the developer or publisher of the game.
With that said, Morrison also added that streamers did have the opportunity to make a fair use argument.
But there is a problem with that.
When anyone tries to defend himself with the fair use argument then one essentially admits that he/she has infringed on a content.
The rest of the argument then becomes about the infringer trying to explain why his/her usage is not illegal.
Morrison also adds that it's super expensive for anyone to prove.
Moreover, only the judge can decide if someone hasn't crossed the line of fair usage.
The other problem is, to get the judge to say that, people usually have to spend six figures on all the required legal work.
Then there is the fact that a fair usage argument has no block or white lines.
Streamers can't just come and say that it is okay for them to stream some games the way they want to.
According to Morrison, we should all keep that in mind.
To summarize:
Legally speaking, without the prior permission or a license from the publisher or developer of the video game, streaming is essentially infringing.
And that includes all those Let's Play streaming videos.

October 30, 2015
J Browne continued its safety stand down programme with 2 morning sessions at Theobald's Park, Enfield in October 2015. Over 250 of our staff attended including all our Head Office and depot staff as well as the operational teams.
The sessions were interactive and based on some key observations from our on-going '10@10' hazard spotting initiative. Uniquely it allowed our staff to give their opinion anonymously using keypads which gave immediate results displayed on the big screen. The questions covered a number of safety themes including wearing of safety glasses, confined space working, service avoidance as well as asking some fundamental questions on the general safety culture of the business. We also used a number of group activities to explore each area and come up with solutions to improve site safety. The SHEQ team is currently collating the feedback and will be capturing this in a 'You said, we did' series of actions.
The rest of the session was similarly interactive with MD Paul McMahon giving a general update on what is coming up for the business. MGF gave a practical demonstration of some of their new generation of light weight shoring and safe access systems and finally everybody went home with a winter pack consisting of an ice scraper, thermos mug, a hard hat liner and some information on winter driving.
Feedback from the event has been excellent and letting everybody have their say ensured the engagement levels were good and in turn gave us some excellent data which we can use to improve site conditions. A big thanks to our SHEQ manager Liam May for delivering this event so successfully; it was a credit to Liam and his team.

CAMP CREEK, W.Va. — Two adults and two children from North Carolina are the victims of a horrific accident Thursday evening on the West Virginia Turnpike in Mercer County.
David and Christine Gilley, and their children, Jack and Grace, perished when their mini-van was struck by a tractor trailer after it crossed the median near the Camp Creek exit. The names were released Friday, according to WBTV-TV in Charlotte, North Carolina
"It appeared the truck was traveling southbound and for whatever reason he lost control, crossed through the median into the northbound traffic and that's where he struck the passenger vehicle," said Farley in describing the wreck.
The truck, which hauled canned food, overturned after the impact with the van and burst into flames. The flames caused a nearby forest fire leaving a chaotic accident scene when emergency crews finally made it to the remote part of the West Virginia Turnpike.
"Traffic had backed up several miles and we had to negotiate all the traffic problems associated," he explained. "Plus we had the fire and the fatalities."
The truck driver, whose name has also not been released, was likely saved from the fire when the cab compartment broke loose from the chassis. The cab wound up about 75 feet away from the rest of the burning truck and the driver was thrown out according to Farley. Although the driver escaped the fire, his injuries were life threatening and he was transported by HealthNet to CAMC.
State Police continue to investigate the accident.

KARACHI: Cement makers anticipate further increase in their production cost after restoration of Gas Infrastructure Development Cess (GIDC).
Farhan Mehmood of Sherman Securities expects an increase by Rs10-12 per cement bag by the companies having gas-fed captive power plants (mainly D G Khan, Lucky, Maple Leaf etc). The plants which mainly consume electricity from national grid (Kohat, Larfage, Pioneer, Fecto etc), will be the major beneficiary as their production cost may remain unchanged.
He said the government has already revised GIDC on captive plants from Rs50 per mmbtu to Rs100.
The tax was initially levied on industrial consumers and captive power plants in July 2012. However, a stay was granted by the Peshawar High Court which was vacated by Supreme Court recently.
In a statement, a spokesman for All-Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) said that the cost of production rapidly increased in the last few months due to increase in transportation cost, rise in electricity tariff, labour charges, hike in interest rates, rupee devaluation and increase in gas prices.
In addition, cement industry has been brought within the purview of '3rd Schedule' of Sales Tax Act 1990 in 2013-2014 Budget which raised an overall tax burden, resulting in price hike.
He said labour cost increased in line with the minimum wages determined by the government.
As far global coal rates are concerned, they have gone up from $95 per tonne to $105 in the past two months only. The coal prices have never declined to $75 per tonne as claimed by an association.
He said the dollar value has increased from Rs98 to Rs106 in last five months.
The landed cost of coal has further compounded due to strict compliance of axle load restriction of coal carriers plus substantial increase in diesel prices since 2010.
This has further increased the cost of production of cement.
The spokesman recalled that in August last year, power tariff for industrial consumers was increased by almost 46pc to Rs15.31 from Rs10.51 per unit whereas time-of-day rate was increased by 35pc to Rs18.81 from Rs13.99 per unit.
The off-peak rate of this category jumped up by 62pc to Rs13.31 from Rs8.22. This also substantially raised cost of production of cement.
The packaging cost also went up due to new taxes imposed on import of sack kraft paper.
Cement makers also rejected the claim of Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD) and said that the increase was due to increase in their costs.

The end of a marriage is never fun. There are sure to be a lot of times when you truly get out of heart about this situation.
The varying stages of feeling emotionally let down and the physical loss of this person can be tough. However, there are many times when a divorce is the only answer. Below you'll find some of the top ways an attorney can help if you're in this predicament.
Here are six family lawyer job duties and responsibilities:
1. Determine the type
You'll want to know the best method of divorcing for ending your marriage. Keep in mind there are several to choose from, and it's ideal for selecting the one that meets your needs.
For instance, if both you and your spouse are agreeable on the end of the union, it may be ideal to choose an uncontested divorce. This will allow you to have the results you want fast and you'll be able to move on with your life.
However, if you don't both agree on this ending the marriage, it may be necessary to select another type that could take longer.
2. Learn your best interests
Ensuring your financial affairs are actively taken into consideration is critical for getting the ideal results. No other outsider will consider these as much as your family lawyer.
This professional is well aware of what's best for you and will be your best advocate. If you want to do the things that are in your interest, it's ideal to rely on the expertise of an attorney.
3. Lower spousal support
There're many things you may not know about the law, and these include how to pay the least amount of support if necessary. You never want to overpay for this cost, and when you work with an attorney, it's not likely you'll have to do so.
There's a specific formula that will be used to help establish the amount of money that will have to be paid. However, your attorney can best advise you on what the right figure should be for you.
4. Getting child custody
If you have kids, you may want to do all you can to get full custody of your children. This will require the right level of work to be done and an expert that knows how to accomplish this goal.
Many factors will come into play if you wish to gain sole custody of your kids. However, getting the right guidance is by far one of the best ways to ensure this will happen.
5. Having less stress
Divorce can be stressful enough when you tackle it all on your own time. There are many things you may not know that your attorney will have the answers to and this is important.

Poppy Z. Brite was a rising horror fiction writer at the time her collection of stories, Wormwood, was published. Also the author of horror novels Lost Souls and Drawing Blood, Poppy Z. Brite's use of metaphor, poetic language, eye for detail, and uncanny character portrayal was quietly being lauded at the time, and Wormwood's publication and reception would cement her reputation as horror's pre-eminent practitioner.
Poppy Z. Brite's narrative prose proved quite addictive, and her public readings were attended by a vast array of stereotypes, from chain and leather-clad biker types to gothic youths draped in black lace and fishnet stockings. Her self-proclaimed splatterpunk style was just what horror fiction needed at the time –– it was cardio-pulmonary resuscitation for a horror fiction genre in steep decline.
In Wormwood, the unflappable Brite weaves tales of subtle homoerotica, stereotype horror redux, goth culture, all in contemporary settings where drugs pass hands, loud guitars wail into the night, eyes peer from the shadows. The scenes in Wormwood are expertly rendered with the eye of a surgeon –– the story mapped like the body of a man washed ashore along the riverbanks, lying on some examining table and slowly being autopsied by an expert storyteller.
Poppy Z. Brite lulls you with her sensual use of metaphor –– "the neon lights in the red-light district were as red as desire." She draws you in with her keen eye for detail, her words spun like soft gossamer, often showing you just how much she loves the darkness, and invites you to fall in love with it as well. Here she succeeds where her future published work would inexplicably fail –– short bursts of creative vision that reek of putrefaction, sex, alcoholism, and heartache. All stories are quite essential –– they're studies into life lived in feral conditions, lives quietly merging and hearts tenderly breaking while sanity ultimately seeks justification, ultimately failing, leaving characters at the crosshairs of insanity and greater, more profound suffering.
Never before has horror fiction been jostled into stirred wakefulness than in Wormwood, and many still proclaim its lasting influence. I am a dark fiction writer, and I would be hard-pressed to name another collection of stories that provided inspiration for my own career. Truly, Wormwood proved to be too great a feat for Brite to outdo, and her career has tragically met the fate authors who've stretched the limits of their craft share with bitterness. She hasn't written a book in some time, and her works subsequent to Wormwood would pale in comparison to it, her voice echoing like that of a long-lost friend in this stellar collection, a monolith in literary horror fiction.
Some stories lend a greater emotional impact on readers, particularly the story entitled Missing and its study of a friendship with greater implications, subtle dialogue and use of smells to convey its message. Others, like The Elder, a story about a father who loses his child, invoke sympathy from the reader with characterization that readers can relate to. Even yet, stories like His Mouth Will Taste of Wormwood, cater to an audience of fringe-dwellers and vagrants, young men and women living with unusual sets of circumstances, restless souls that choose lifestyles with little conformity to the norm.
If these stories don't make you love the darkness just a little more with each read, nothing will. In fact, they're so good that if you simply don't love them, it's more likely that you haven't even read them. She lends horror fiction a literary sensibility that sings like cutting-edge rock and roll, the music youth often use to escape the drudging of memory too painful to be summoned. Horror fiction's supernova saw its cementing into the canon with this glorious collection. Read Poppy Z. Brite's Wormwood. The darkness will never feel the same way again.
– Al Necro
Wormwood is available now on Dell Publishing. For more information on Poppy Z. Brite, visit her official website.

We refer to Mr Heng Cho Choon's letter, "Adopt 'touch and go' system for tolls", (The Straits Times, 18 July 2013).
The Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP)/toll system is used primarily to regulate the entry and for the collection of VEP fees for foreign vehicles entering into Singapore. It is also used to collect toll charges from all motorists passing through Woodlands or Tuas Checkpoint. We will study the feasibility of a contactless design for checkpoint operations.
We would also like to share that the current system provides both visual and audible signals (flashing lights and series of beep sound) to alert motorists whenever a card is detected in the reader after any deduction. For assistance on lost Autopass cards at the checkpoints, drivers can contact LTA at 6767 5858 (Woodlands Checkpoint) or 6865 4852 (Tuas Checkpoint). Drivers who lost their Cashcards are advised to contact SPF Found & Unclaimed Property Office (FUPO) at 6842 9645 for assistance.

Teen With Rare Genetic Disorder Dies
Seventeen-year-old Sam Berns, who suffered from a rare genetic disorder known as progeria that made him age rapidly, died on Friday, according to the Boston Herald, one day before he was set to act as captain for the New England Patriot's playoff game.
Progeria affects one in 8 million people, and people with the disease typically live to their mid-teens or early-20s. Berns, who was the subject of the 2013 HBO film "Life According to Sam," touched everyone he met, said John Seng, a Progeria Research Foundation board member.
"You're a different person after you meet Sam for the first time," Seng said. "We go through every day worrying about traffic jams and why the Internet is so slow, yet, here is Sam Berns, carrying on with his life. He didn't want people to feel sorry for him, he said he was happy and he meant it."
India Finally Polio-Free
Less than five years after India reported 741 cases of polio, the most in the world, India is ready to be certified polio-free, the BBC News reports. The country has not had a reported case since 2011, and the World Health Organization will declare India officially polio-free next month.
Transplanted Wombs
A team of doctors in Sweden have successfully transplanted wombs into nine women who will try and make history by becoming pregnant, according to Time. The women, who are all in their 30s, were either born without a uterus or had it removed during cancer, and received wombs donated from relatives.
The only two previous womb transplants, done in Turkey and Saudi Arabia, failed to yield a viable pregnancy. The doctors will next attempt to implant embryos into the women, likely within months, and, if successful, the women will have the uteruses removed so they can stop taking anti-rejection medication.

Annual Conference
From attending to collaborating… this year, we have decided to go for a conference concept rather than a formal theme. The conference will continue to address relevant topics for pharmaceutical software users and this year, we want to promote new ways of sharing knowledge and interact in those face-to-face meetings. This vision started back in Basel 2009 when the Discussion Clubs were introduced and the feedback we received since then encouraged us to continue on this path.
PhUSE already provides a Wiki platform and Blogs Section to the PhUSE website where members already post, share and debate the whole year long. A great addition too will be that presenters will have an option to be able to submit their papers as Wikis instead of static pdf files, which will open the topic to a wide range of potential co-authors. PhUSE Wikis provide a great opportunity to keep our contributions as presenters up to date and allow for others to add their piece of knowledge to the puzzle. The presentations remain the corner stone of the conference and making the papers available as Wikis will provide a great opportunity for everyone to share knowledge moving forward.
In Budapest, PhUSE will be launching its first conference app including all abstracts, authors, schedule, maps and the functionality of tweeting about the presentations or events directly from the app.
You will also have the opportunity to learn new tools and techniques via computer-based hands-on training sessions together with other colleagues from the industry.
You can easily access all the PhUSE Budapest 2012 relevant information by clicking here PhUSE Budapest 2012
At the heart of the conference are the 15 streams that give a platform for presenters to share knowledge and exchange ideas.
Applications and Software Development
Professional Development and Training
Health Outcomes Research and Epidemiology
Regulations in the Healthcare Industry

The newest Ford Ranger Wildtrak has made its global debut, packing newer Driver Assist Technologies and a more premium, aggressive stance.
"Building on the bolder, smarter, and more refined new Ranger, the new Wildtrak is a perfect fit for customers who want to combine genuine 4×4 capability with stand-out styling and premium features," said Trevor Worthington, vice president of product development at Ford Asia Pacific.
Ford's newest flagship is fronted by rectangular fog lamps, a unique sports hoop, projector head lamps, and a trapezoidal grille with outboard nostrils finished in a dark, liquid metallic gray. The same accent is carried over to the side mirrors, door handles, side air vents, bed rails, and tail lamps. The vehicle sits high on 18-inch alloy wheels.
The updated Ranger has strong orange tones throughout the cabin. The interior appears roomy with a horizontal beam spanning from the driver to passenger door. The element also houses a dual-TFT instrument cluster, an eight-inch touchscreen, and air conditioning registers. The new Wildtrak also features an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat.
"From a design standpoint, everything on the new Wildtrak is very tough, inspired by tools and machinery," commented Dewitt. "But the execution—the dark environment, the soft instrument panel top, the orange stitching punching through—is very modern and more like what you'd see in a top-end hot hatch. It's tough, but it's refined and sporty."
A variety of smart technologies are on board the new Wildtrak to help drivers on the road. SYNC 2, the latest generation of Ford's in-car connectivity system, allows drivers to use voice commands to control the pickup's climate, entertainment system, and navigation. Backing it up is an eight-inch touchscreen that gives access to even more controls. A 230-volt power socket is also on hand so you can easily charge your devices on the road.
An array of driver assist technologies, such as Lane Keeping Alert; Lane Keeping Aid; Adaptive Cruise Control; Forward Alert; Front and Rear Park Assist; Tire Pressure Monitoring System; Electronic Stability Program; Driver Impairment Monitor; Hill Launch Assist; Hill Descent Control; Adaptive Load Control, and Emergency Brake Assistance, are also available for utmost driving safety and convenience.
The latest Ford Ranger Wildtrak is powered by a 3.2-liter Duratorq five-cylinder TDCi diesel engine putting out 200Ps of power and 470 Nm of torque for excellent towing performance up to 3,500kg. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, carefully calibrated to maximize efficiency.
It can easily skip through any terrain with its 230mm ground clearance, while also being amphibious with an 800mm water wading capacity. Helping the Wildtrak achieve all-terrain status is its ability to go from 4×2 to 4×4 on the fly using a knob on the center console, as well as a fine-tuned suspension for additional comfort and even better handling. Wrapping this beast up is an electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) system, which provides precise steering both at low and high speeds.
"For customers looking for a truck that shares their appetite for adventure, the new Wildtrak is the complete package," said Worthington. "It's the toughest, smartest, boldest Wildtrak we've ever made, and it's ready to take on the world."

As our aging population continues to grow, Medicare Parts B and D will play an increasingly important role in providing access to lifesaving medicines for tens of millions of Americans. And ensuring timely, affordable access to new medicines for seniors has never been more vital as we enter the age of curative therapies and disease-modifying treatments for debilitating conditions.
"It's really not an overstatement to say we're in the golden era of medicine," noted Stephen J. Ubl, president and CEO of PhRMA, in a discussion with the Alliance for Health Policy's President and CEO, Sarah Dash. But, as Dash pointed out, "did our system grow up in a way that is going to be able to afford it?"
To discuss how we can evolve Medicare to enable affordable access to tomorrow's promising science, Ubl and Dash were joined by policymakers and other health care thought leaders in a recent event hosted by The Atlantic and sponsored by PhRMA, titled The State of Care: Future of Medicare.
A number of the panelists noted that many seniors today are being forced to shoulder a greater portion of the costs of their medicines in Part D – even when drug spending has been growing under the rate of inflation – leading to affordability challenges that can impact access to treatment.
As Ubl observed, "you would think if…drug spending was going down and rebates were going up that patient out-of-pocket spending would also be going down, but it's not. For patients that have a deductible, their out-of-pocket spending has gone up by over 50% in recent years."
America's biopharmaceutical companies are committed to advancing pragmatic, pro-consumer solutions that help seniors access the medicines they need without harming the next generation of Medicare beneficiaries.
There are several proposals being debated in Washington to address this problem in Part D. One solution on the table is to encourage health plans and pharmacy benefit managers to share the billions in rebates and discounts they receive from biopharmaceutical companies with Part D beneficiaries at the pharmacy counter. Others are considering whether to place an annual cap or a maximum for what seniors on Part D pay out of pocket for medicines.
At the same time, there are some proposals being considered that are not focused on helping patients afford their medicines. One example, the so-called Part B International Pricing Index Model, would take an anti-competitive approach to changing Medicare Part B by implementing government-set prices on medicines that are administered in a doctor's office. According to Gail Wilensky, the former head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and a current senior fellow at Project HOPE, this could have long-term repercussions for innovation: "[it's] the pipeline and the R&D investment that would be impacted by a price-controlled world."
America's biopharmaceutical companies are committed to advancing pragmatic, pro-consumer solutions that help seniors access the medicines they need without harming the next generation of Medicare beneficiaries. As Ubl concluded in his remarks, "there are a number of steps that we can take to control costs in a thoughtful way and to lower patient out-of-pocket costs, without arresting this incredible wave of medical progress that we're seeing."

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), hair loss affects more than 80M American men and women (Note: that's roughly the entire population of Great Britain), and the symptoms can range from increased shedding or a widening part up to bald patches.

From creating perfect beachy waves to capturing just the right color, hair is always a hot topic. But there's one reality that isn't always happy-hour banter: Hair thinning happens. Women experience this common problem almost as much as men, but it poses different challenges. Mentally, women often experience a more significant impact on confidence and self-esteem. Symptom-wise, female hair loss tends to present as a widening of the part or diffuse thinning over the entire head as opposed to the receding hairline or bald spots experienced by men.
The causes of female hair loss range from genetics and hormonal shifts (especially after giving birth and in conjunction with menopause) to s

Clients may expect that it is possible to have multiple iterators over a given Iterable, and thus may expect that each call to Iterable.iterator returns a fresh iterator that shares no state with other iterators. (Clients shouldn't expect this in the absence of documentation, but they might.) I think it's worth it for the convenience, so long as this behavior is documented. > LineIterator should implement Iterable > --------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-181 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Reporter: Michael Ernst > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > org.apache.commons.io.LineIterator does not implement Iterable.

have you seen the photo of michelle obama on the most recent issue of more magazine? esme just loves the tomato-red t-shirt she's wearing and has been trying and trying to find out it's brand. absolutely no luck! but she did find out that it's not a t but a sweater.
in any case, esme is convinced that the style, the color and the fabric would look smashing on her own self and would love to find out where she could get one. hmmm….isn't the first lady known for shopping at j crew? maybe esme should pop into the local branch and see if she can find that sweater.
red, orange and all their variations are still "trending heavily" as they say in the trade. indeed, the gloomy weather makes these bright colors all the more appealing. bright greens too, for you green people. well, esme is just green with envy about that red sweater, so if anyone knows where to get one, do let her know asap!

In a rarefied Manhattan club where annual membership costs as much as $400,000, Victoria's Secret models leaned against leather furniture and chatted about runway struts in Shanghai while sharp-suited investment bankers sipped flutes of Dom Pérignon.
They were ostensibly there for a basketball game — a losing Knicks effort at Madison Square Garden against the Portland Trail Blazers unfolding a few hundred feet below.
A dark-haired man with groomed stubble arrived in a blue-and-red shirt whose top button he had chosen, after much internal debate, not to close for fear of appearing "too hipster." He greeted a hostess as Joanna. She gently informed him that her name was Gabby. Walking away, he cringed. "Was that really bad?" he asked, looking back over his shoulder.
He made his entrance into the members- and invite-only suite shortly before tip-off (though he was just a guest), and let it be known that he rarely shows up to games before the second quarter.
The man was Joseph Anavim, who goes by Jojo. Anavim is not yet a household name, but his pop-art paintings — a mishmash of vintage magazine ads and Playboy pinups, acrylic paint and silk-printing — have become a preferred acquisition of N.B.A. stars. His pieces sell for anywhere from $5,000 to $45,000.
He's the Andy Warhol of the 2017 pro basketball set. The likes of Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis — not to mention Selena Gomez and the rapper Big Sean — own an original Jojo, as people seem to call them. Paintings for D'Angelo Russell of the Nets and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers are in progress.
Last summer Anavim met Porzingis, the budding Knicks star, at a mutual friend's house in the Hamptons. They made a swap: one painting of a lion for multiple pairs of Adidas shoes.
"I really didn't know him before," Porzingis said. "But then I looked up his art on Instagram and he's the real deal."
Anavim credits the former N.B.A. star Amar'e Stoudemire with sparking the buzz. Stoudemire first spotted Anavim a few years ago on Instagram, when the artist was hanging his work at Decor Framing in Midtown.
In 2015, Stoudemire commissioned Anavim to paint Moses carrying the Ten Commandments. It is now one of Stoudemire's favorite works of art. "Very abstract with so many beautiful colors," he said.
Anavim, 33, grew up in Roslyn, on Long Island. His father, a jeweler, and his mother, a marketing manager, emigrated from Iran before the Islamic revolution of 1979.
"I'm very close with my family," Anavim said. "My mom was always the logistical person, very organized, making sure I handed in my homework on time. My dad taught me everything I know about how to love and adore."
Anavim studied business at Hofstra University for one year before transferring to Hunter College and majoring in psychology. After graduating, he worked as a contract graphic designer and was making a "comfortable six figures" before his friends tagged him in the comments of Stoudemire's Instagram posts.
Frequenting parties at Stoudemire's West Village penthouse, Anavim met art collectors and celebrities — new clients. Before long he had stopped his graphic design work to focus solely on mixed-media art.
The dozens of paintings on Anavim's apartment walls convey the Jojo worldview. Blond women blow pink chewing gum into gleaming juicy bubbles. A rainbow-colored astronaut floats above the Paramount Pictures logo. Coca-Cola bottles, Marlboro cigarette packages and Marilyn Monroe are recurring images.
His coffee table has been transformed into a Jojo original, spray-painted with an American flag design. All of this, he says, is inspired by his childhood — down to the Life Savers his grandmother used to pull out of her purse.
"Jojo's art is the style of street art without the thorny content and political questions that street art addresses," Carlo McCormick, a New York art critic, said in a phone interview. "It is benign. It's hard to get theoretical or conceptual about a pretty girl on a cigarette package putting on makeup. It is not super complicated, so what's not to like? It's pure pop: candy-coated, pure sugar stuff."
Katelijne De Backer, the former art director for the Aqua art show in Miami, which has featured Anavim's work, agreed.
"Jojo is one of the artists who shows, 'Why does it have to be incredibly difficult?'" De Backer said. "Why can't it just be, 'Wow this is smart, playful and clever' and therefore, maybe it appeals to a wider audience?"
Anavim lives five blocks south of the Garden in a second-floor walk-up with two bedrooms and a bachelor pad vibe. The refrigerator contains 34 Bud Lights, bottled lime juice and condiments — and nothing else. A dark-stained wood cabinet nearby holds perfectly aligned bottles of vodka, whiskey and tequila.
He has some Matzo and an unopened box of Cheerios. Milk, though, is not available.
People frequently stream through the apartment: friends, relatives, clients, his two assistants. Twice a year he hosts a Shabbat dinner — a Friday night Jewish holiday celebrating a day of rest — with 30 people, including restaurateurs, models and the Instagram-famous. At the most recent Shabbat gathering, Anavim only knew half the people on his guest list.
"For Shabbat, it is not about business," he said. "It is about getting people together and sharing a meal and being around people you like and meeting new people who have good souls."
Anavim said that if someone asked about buying one of his paintings during a Shabbat dinner, he would invite them to come back another day. But be forewarned: To purchase a painting, Anavim has to get along with you.
"There are certain people that I don't like and it doesn't matter how much money they have or what they do — I just find them off-putting, and I don't want them in my orbit," Anavim said, seated in his living room as service staff covered folding tables for the most recent Shabbat dinner party.
"I am not afraid to approach people," he added. "If they don't like me — which doesn't happen often — but if it does happen, that's fine also. It rolls off my shoulders."
In this club on this night at Madison Square Garden, though, Anavim appeared to like everyone in the luxe Suite Sixteen. While ordinary Knicks fans elsewhere in the arena ate $10.50 mini pizzas, the suite's guests dined on lobster tails.
A brief fourth-quarter surge by the Knicks fell short. The hot chefs and D.J.s of the moment who mingled in Suite Sixteen draped their arms around women clutching Valentino and Gucci bags and exited. Anavim said goodbye to his host and put on a black peacoat. Untroubled by the Knicks' loss, the N.B.A.'s fast-rising artist du jour kept it moving.
