If you decide to establish a relationship with an e-commerce Web site, they learn a lot about you. Do you wonder what information they collect, what they do with it and how safe it is? If so, read on for the answers.
e-Commerce Information and its Uses
In order to properly handle the processing, payment and shipment of your orders, e-commerce Web sites collect information such as your address, phone numbers, email and payment accounts. This you certainly know already, since you give them this information when you decide to order from them.
In addition, however, there is a lot of other information that you probably do not realize is being collected. Fortunately, this information is not something that most of us would consider a violation of our privacy. Nor does it represent a risk to our identities. For example, Web sites retain information about your preferences to make your shopping experience more personal. They remember merchandise you buy or even consider in order to create recommendations and deliver promotions to your desktop that are likely to interest you. They also allow you to create wish lists and save them.
Other information e-commerce sites collect is used to help improve the technical performance of the Web site and also to help detect or prevent fraudulent use of the site. A good example is the chain of links that you followed to get to their site, as well as all of the pages you visited and even where you went next when you left the site. Online merchants use this information to improve their performance with search engines or evaluate their advertising campaigns. Examining the pages you are visiting and the paths you take as you shop can help them improve the design of their site. And knowing what Web site you go to next can be of particular interest if you don't buy anything and go straight to a competitor.
Another commonly used piece of information is the Internet protocol (IP) address of the computer you are using. This is useful to help protect your identity and also prevent fraud. For example, if you are using your home computer and they know that, it gives them a high degree of confidence that it is really you. They can also check the geographic location of visitors to their site. If you have never logged in from the Ukraine for example, but someone there is trying to use your password and username, this is a very high probability indication of an attempt to fraud the site.
Where the Data Goes: Cookies and Servers
It will probably surprise you to learn that much of the information e-commerce sites collect and use is actually stored right on your own computer in something called a cookie. A cookie is a text file that can help to remember information about you and your preferences. When you visit a Web site, it looks for its own cookies on your computer and reads them.
A common use of cookies is shopping carts; the cart keeps track of items you put in your cart but have not ordered. That is how when you go back to a site, items that you put in your shopping cart on earlier visits are still there. Cookies are used extensively to help customize your browsing experience at most e-commerce Web sites, and computer experts agree cookies do not represent a security or identity threat.
Of course, much of the information the site gathers is stored remotely. Industry best practices require online merchants to store payment accounts and other important identity information on a different computer than the Web site server, so it can be more secure.
In the e-commerce site's information systems, two categories of people can access your personal information-those who manage the servers and systems, and those involved with customer service and payment processing for the merchant.
How Safe is my Personal Data?
The evidence shows, however, that despite the good intentions of most e-commerce online merchants, there are many cases where personal information is compromised.
Reassuringly, online merchants and e-commerce providers go to extreme lengths to protect your personal information.
Firstly, online merchants worldwide that accept credit card payment are required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). PCI is an organization formed by the major payment card brands-American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. The DSS standards define requirements and best practices for securing the processing and storage of payment account data, as well as other personal information. Compliance with these standards remains the responsibility of the merchant, and each payment brand manages their PCI DSS compliance and enforcement programs independently of the PCI Security Standards Council.
Most e-commerce sites provide a link at the bottom of every page to a privacy statement with useful information about what data they gather, how it is used and secured. Amazon's UK site provides an excellent example of a very thorough and clear privacy statement.

Preparing and disseminating propaganda is an exacting task at times, demanding much of its practitioners. There is a fine balance between keeping things relatively plausible, and then to see it all go bust because of a poorly managed editing job.I do not envy CNN its job. But then, I also don´t respect them very much, either.
CNN=Communist News Network, the truth will set you free...that´s what the Looney Left is worried about!
With Morgan´s ratings already near microscopic, they are probably also worried that such a thoroughly embarrassing performance by their guy would be enough to make the ratings finally hit zero.
What #1 said...
CNN is very good at it. That´s why we´re losing.
CNN needs to get some lessons from NBC on how to fake a video. Of course, NBC has had a lot more practice.
Look what they´ve done to my interview, MaLook what they´ve done to my interviewWell it´s the only thing I could do half rightAnd it´s turning out all wrong, MaLook what they´ve done to my interviewLook what I´ve done to my brain, MaLook what I´ve done to my brainYeah I picked it like a chicken boneAnd I think I´m half insane, MaLook what I´ve done to my brainI wish I could find a good country to live inWish I could find a good countryCause if I could find a real good countryI´d never have to come out and look atLook what they´ve done to this country....Beat it Piers, ya bother me!
With many, many apologies to Melanie!
Too late, Piers. It´s already been seen, copied and pasted
Does anybody really watch his program? I mean, really? I got the impression that the only people that watch him belong to those fleeting eyes glancing up while hurrying to catch a plane. I think the people that make up those charts count 500 for each airport monitor tuned in to CNN.
Unfortunately, my 24 Hour Fitness Gym plays CNN in the locker room, and is on 1/3rd of the screens in the cardio area. I usually wear earplugs, and can´t get them on quickly enough when he´s on when I´m changing.
CNN always has to cut 80% of the facts from a story, in order to make their network´s positions appear reasonable.This is the network that agreed to cover up Saddam Husseins atrocities against his own people, if it granted them greater access to the totalitarian dictator.
The sooner we start ignoring Morgan the better. Let is ratings plummet and he´ll be fired anyway.

Aeon Nox seems nice at first. The homescreen is smooth, the font is good and bold. But using it bit more I see it's drawbacks. I quite often browse youtube and other video plugins in xbmc.. thumbnail view in skins like mediastream/pm3 are great for this, there is no ideal view in Aeon.
The cd spinning graphic when playing music (sat at the home screen) is nice, but 'now playing' info is compromised when on any other screen; it is relgated to the topleft of the screen in a font much too small. Fullscreen video is very nice, the osd is lovely, and the same goes for the INFO when you hit I on a movie. Heres where things are less sweet on an atom proc... coverflow, still chugs a fair amount, stick to non-coverflow showcase and you're talking. With a movie playing, I hit tab to drop out of fullscreen. The video continues to play (in a smaller window) behind your line of movie posters (showcase view). Looks odd. Playback seems to chug after a while also (might be movie-dependent of course). Showcase view for music is nice but I prefer a list view for the individual tracks.. the result? Its nice that xbmc remembers view layouts but going from showcase, to list, then back to showcase when you back out feels quite an un-natural experience. TVShows, bannerview seems quite nice (provided you've got the right banner artwork- ie horizontal rectangular shaped image)- else it looks stretched. But for me, I couldn't seem to switch to another view after picking this view? Nox I feel would benefit from some kind of vignette image effect for the backgrounds, like in the pre-Aeon days. -if you have a directory of images at random for backgrounds, theres a good chance one of them will obscure the 'now playing' info on the homescreen making it illegible. Overall I thin Aeon Nox is great if you have a well-managed, tidy local media setup. But for pulling stuff from the web I think other skins facilitate that a bit better. To see it at it's best, ie coverflow, I would guess the images could do with being lower-res. (my posters are all about 1MB each), the fanart- whatever xbmc pulls em down as. The thumbnails do seem incredibly crisp I will say, I am guessing the samplerate/thumb quality is quite high.

online casinos hotels |
There are many options for you to consider when you are looking to find the perfect place to stay when you are in Vegas. One of the first things you should do is to start by comparing some of the different options you have in casino hotels online and see if any of them will have the option to be able to get all that you will need in one stay at a reasonable price. Many times the casinos will not only offer hotels, but they will have entertainment options for you to look at as well. This is because they want to do everything they can to keep you in one place and to get as much money from you as possible. This way you will be caught in their web and will feel as though there is no reason to go anywhere else. You will have all that you need right here. |

Vista is quite nice in keeping you from running too many things at elevated rights so you don't get into trouble. Where things breakdown are when you want to start a particular process with elevated rights from a command line. The RUNAS program does not have any switch to run a program with your user credentials, but let you bump the rights. In addition, if you use RUNAS to start a process that requires elevation, you'll just get an error 740 saying "The requested operation requires elevation." For us old command line jockey's this is not a satisfying situation.
If you want a program to always run with elevated privileges, you can always right click on it in Explorer, select Properties and in the Compatibility tab, tell the operating system you want to always run this program as an administrator.
The only problem is that there are numerous programs you don't want to use the "always elevate" sledgehammer on permanently. For example, I don't run Visual Studio elevated, but there are times when I need to use it elevated. While I could start a separate console with elevated rights, switch to it, and execute the program, that's strikes me as a far too much work when I can write a program instead! Thus Elevate was born. Just execute "elevate notepad" and you'll be prompted with the UAC prompt to run notepad right from the command line.
Elevate will take numerous command line arguments to make your command life a little bit easier and to potentially be used in batch or script files. Here's the help from the program:
Elevate 4.0.10326.0
(c) 2007 - John Robbins - www.wintellect.com
Execute a process on the command line with elevated rights on Vista
Usage: Elevate [-?|-wait|-k] prog [args]
-? - Shows this help
-wait - Waits until prog terminates
-k - Starts the the %comspec% environment variable value and
executes prog in it (CMD.EXE, 4NT.EXE, etc.)
prog - The program to execute
args - Optional command line arguments to prog
Note that because the way ShellExecute works, Elevate cannot set the
current directory for prog. Consequently, relative paths as args will
probably not work.
As you can see, Elevate works with %COMSPEC% so my beloved 4NT works as well. Down load the source from here.
The magic that Elevete uses? Passing "runas" as the verb to ShellExecute.

Back to the Beach
A day at the shore is always an occasion for introspection and delight.
- By: Kim Ridley
- Photography by: Alan Lavallee
A short walk takes me through spruce woods to the beach. My brain buzzes with anticipation as I swat mosquitoes and walk down the muddy path. The first glimpse of the shore through the trees blasts the chatter from my mind.
The long curve of beach beckons into the distance. Waves slam onto the shore, and granite tosses back salty mist. A herring gull shrieks. Goldenrod blazes from a chink in the ledge. Everything utters the same refrain: "Now."
Nowhere does time feel shorter and more precious than on a beach in Maine on a clear summer day. The light is audacious. The sea holds winter's chill, a reminder of what's to come. Fog could roll in any minute, and often does.
The tide is still going out, but will soon return, making the crossing impossible. I slip off my sandals and wade across the knee-deep tidal river, pushing hard against the current. Something small and slippery wriggles under my toes. I lift my foot as a sand lance, a silvery, eel-like fish, burrows into the riverbed.
Though the channel is narrow, it marks the boundary of another world. The beach is a place of paradox. It smacks of eternity, yet is a landscape in flux.
I walk northwest up the shore, following the wavering wrack line left by the last high tide. Sand fleas ping against my ankles as I search the tangle of rockweed and eelgrass for the sea's leavings. Clam and mussel shells lie scattered about, along with bottles and other plastic detritus, which I collect in a bag. Reaching for a bottle cap, I spot the empty egg case of a skate. Blackish and about three inches long, these leathery, rectangular pouches taper into slender horns at the corners and are commonly called "mermaid's purses."
A flash of motion farther up the beach catches my eye. I lift my binoculars and at first see nothing but small rocks. Then one of them moves. Two. Three, four, five. Six, seven semipalmated plovers scurry among the clumps of washed-up seaweed, searching for insects and other invertebrates. With brown backs, pale bellies, and black "necklaces," they resemble small killdeer and are among the many small shorebirds whose plumage helps them blend into their surroundings even on a bright, exposed beach.
The air is hot near the dunes, so I return to the sea to walk in the water. A small flock of sanderlings flies low over the waves, revealing pale undersides as they turn in unison, flashing against the dark water like an animated constellation. They land farther down the beach, running along the tide's advance and retreat as they probe the wet sand for small invertebrates.
Tiny flecks of mica, washed down eons ago from ancient mountains, trace rippling patterns on the sand as the tide recedes. The patterns swirl around my feet in wet sand that reflects towering clouds. I feel as though I'm walking on sky.
By the time I reach the far end of the beach, my limbs are loose and my skin salty. I stand at the edge of another tidal river and consider wading across to walk the beach beyond, but if I misjudge the tide it would be a long and treacherous swim home.
Instead, I linger a few minutes on this spit of sand, this temporary terra firma, and poke around a tide pool. I lift a fringe of rockweed and startle a green crab, which scrabbles for cover. Underwater, a hermit crab trundles along the bottom in its periwinkle shell, crossing a backdrop of rocks splotched with pink, green, and orange algae.
Common terns cry overhead. I stand to watch them hover over the river's mouth. White with black caps and brilliant orange beaks, they fold their bodies into arrows of hunger and plunge into the water. Every so often, one rises into the air with a small, silver fish. My mind rises and dives with the birds.
A gaggle of fellow beach walkers laugh and splash in the waves. In this elemental place of water and sand, perhaps we become less encumbered. We shed something as we brush up against the living world and rest our eyes on a horizon unmarred by human will. We begin to remember who we really are: not stockbrokers and writers and electricians, but animals who revel on our backs in the sun, the tug and sway of the sea, the cooling breeze.
We smile and wave. Something shifts. I feel strangely buoyant, even though the tide is rising and it's time to go.
Beach Creatures
More than vacation spots for humans, beaches serve as snack bars and rest stops, nurseries and homes for a host of plants and animals, from migratory shorebirds to interstitial fauna, tiny organisms that inhabit the spaces between grains of sand. All are survivors in a harsh environment. Here are a few of the strange and resilient lives you're likely to encounter as you comb a Maine beach.
American beachgrass grows where most other plants would perish. Sharp-bladed and deep-rooted, Ammophila breviligulata helps stabilize sand dunes. It spreads up to ten feet a year and can sprout more than one hundred blades in a single season. Also growing in the dunes are seaside goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens), which attracts monarch butterflies and other pollinators, and beach peas (Lathyrus japonicus), which bloom lavender and pink in early summer. Although the peas are edible, they contain a toxic compound that can damage the nervous system in large doses, so it's best to leave them be.
It's important to keep off the dunes, where endangered piping plovers and least terns nest on bare sand. They are among the twenty-five or so species of shorebirds that rely on our beaches for rest and food during round-trip migrations of 15,000 miles or more. Late summer offers great opportunities for seeing migratory shorebirds on our beaches, including big flocks of peeps, small, drab-colored sandpipers; striking black-bellied plovers; grayish-brown whimbrels with long, thin down-curving beaks; and ruddy turnstones, which flip over shells and pebbles with their beaks in search of tasty morsels.
Shorebirds feed in the intertidal zone mostly on insects and marine invertebrates, a wriggling throng of worms, mollusks, and crustaceans, including sand fleas. Reddish brown and soft-bodied, they aren't really fleas at all, but amphipods, tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans that help clean the beach by scavenging organic matter. Drama unfolds under the damp sand, where moon snails bore holes in clams with their sandpapery tongues and suck out the insides. All manner of clams live under the sand, including long, skinny razor clams and northern quahogs, named by the Algonquians and a favorite at clambakes for centuries.
Clams and a host of other creatures feast on plankton — myriad, minute floating plants and animals collectively named for the Latin word for "wanderers." Some of them are bioluminescent. The best way to see them is to walk to the edge of the shore on a warm summer night and swirl your hands or feet in the sea. If conditions are right, the water will sparkle.

Coming together to combat rare diseases
The European Commission is increasingly supporting collaborative initiatives focused on research into treatments and drugs for rare diseases, but lack of funding continues to be an issue. Gary Humphreys reports.
"It was like being hit by a tsunami." French mother of three, Béatrice de Montleau, vividly recalls the day she learned that her four-year-old son had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a neuromuscular disease characterized by rapidly progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The disease primarily affects males and onset occurs early. People with the disease usually die in young adulthood, succumbing to cardiomyopathy, the effect of the disease on the heart muscle, and respiratory failure. Treatment with steroids offers some relief, but there is no cure. "For a time I was just in shock," says de Montleau. "It was devastating."
With an estimated incidence of 1 in 3300, Duchenne muscular dystrophy is considered a rare disease, one of several thousand classified as such. Estimates vary as to exactly how many rare diseases there are, partly because countries define rare diseases differently. "In European Union (EU) countries, any disease affecting fewer than 5 people in 10 000 is considered rare," explains Antoni Montserrat Moliner, policy officer at the Directorate of Public Health at the European Commission in Luxembourg. Most patients suffer from diseases affecting 1 in 10 000 or less. According to the European Medicines Agency, there are between 5000 and 8000 distinct rare diseases in the EU, affecting between 27 and 36 million people.
Rare diseases range from cystic fibrosis and haemophilia to Angelman Syndrome, with an incidence of about 1 in 15 000, to Opitz trigonocephaly syndrome, which is extremely rare with about one case per million people.
While the parents of children with rare diseases may initially be isolated by grief, they soon realize that talking to people going through similar experiences is invaluable. "They have to reach out," says Paloma Tejada, communications director at the European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS), a nongovernmental, patient-driven alliance of patient organizations and individuals active in the field of rare diseases. For her part, Béatrice de Montleau reached out to the French Muscular Dystrophy Assocation, Association Française Contre les Myopathies.
Reaching out goes beyond looking for people who understand what you are going through. It is also a way of finding out about new treatments or research that looks promising. This drive to connect is one of the reasons that patients' associations such as EURORDIS naturally cross borders and forge links, strategies that have until quite recently been largely unexploited in Europe. "In the area of health, the EU has had very little power when compared to agriculture or the environment," explains Montserrat, noting that because of this, EU Member States have tended to focus on national health concerns. National identity is something that people living with rare diseases don't tend to think about, according to Edmund Jessop, a rare disease specialist and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) representative on the new EU Committee of Experts on Rare Diseases. "Suffering from a rare disease affects your sense of identity," he says. "You start to think of yourself not as being French or English or Danish, but as a person with this particular disease. I think that is one of the reasons why the rare disease patient groups tend to be much more international and collaborative in their focus."
While a domestic focus is not particularly problematic for many health issues, for rare diseases it is disastrous. This is because not one of the 27 EU Member States, however big, can hope to offer treatment for the full spectrum of rare diseases. "Even in the UK [with a population of 62 million] some patients have to be sent overseas for treatment," says Jessop.
Meanwhile, individual countries struggle to find the resources to conduct research, including the patients needed to conduct clinical trials. "There are just three cases of progeria in France," says Tejada. "You cannot organize clinical trials on that basis. You have to achieve critical mass and that means international collaboration."
It is with the aim of promoting international collaboration that the European Commission is increasingly supporting collaborative initiatives, including the patients' association, but especially Orphanet, created in 1997 by rare disease expert and advocate Ségolène Aymé, to establish a freely accessible database of rare diseases and the drugs needed to treat them, so-called orphan drugs. Orphanet launched a rare disease and orphan drug information portal in 2000 and is also coordinating the Topic Advisory Group for Rare Diseases of the World Health Organization, in charge of the revision of the International classification of diseases.
The Commission is also behind the International Rare Disease Research Consortium also known as IRDiRC, pronounced 'ear-dirk', an ambitious international effort to pool resources and harmonize policy to promote research. Launched in April 2011, the Consortium started out as a joint project of the European Commission and the National Institutes of Health in the United States of America; but since then other countries have become involved, including Canada and Japan. It aims to bring together regulatory agencies, researchers, patient group representatives, members of the biopharmaceutical industry and health professionals, and among the objectives that it has publicly set is the generation of 200 new therapies for rare diseases and diagnostic tools for most rare diseases by 2020.
Montserrat believes that collaboration on rare diseases is also going to increase as a result of the European Reference Networks, which came out of the European Commission Directive on Cross Border Health Care and Patient Rights that was adopted at the beginning of 2011. The European Commission will adopt legislation defining the European Reference Networks before October 2013. "This is very positive because the European Reference Networks have been discussed as an objective for a long time, and now it is something that will be a reality in one and half years," Montserrat says. The European Reference Networks will cover a range of diseases, but, according to Montserrat, will be "largely concerned with rare diseases", something that EURORDIS has fought for very hard, according to Tejada.
The European Reference Networks will depend on yet-to-be designated centres of expertise in the 27 EU Member States and will facilitate collaboration across a range of activities. "The European Reference Networks will offer the possibility of consultation, but also of sending patients to other Member States where treatment is available," Montserrat says. Backed by the Directive on Cross Border Health Care, patients will have the right to be treated in another EU country if their own country is unable to provide care.
Like the IRDiRC, the European Reference Networks is a work in progress and Monserrat is hoping that the EU Committee of Experts on Rare Diseases will play an important part in steering it through the complicated development period that lies ahead. The EU Committee includes representatives from Member States, patient organizations and industry.
Another key aspect of EU work on rare diseases is the adoption in 2009 of the European Council Recommendation on Rare Diseases, which supports, among other activities, the development of registers and databases. This is essential if researchers are to be able to draw on a wide population base for epidemiological and clinical research, according to Domenica Taruscio, director of the National Centre for Rare Diseases in Rome. Taruscio hopes that the recommendation will result in a "burst of initiatives" for rare disease registration, while recognizing obstacles need to be overcome, notably EU regulation on personal data protection which allows data collection and exchange for a "legitimate purpose", the exact meaning of which is open to argument. Another obstacle is the lack of a common language. "Worldwide sharing of information, data and samples is hampered by the absence of an exhaustive rare disease classification, standard terms of reference and common ontologies," Taruscio says.
While these are clearly encouraging times for rare disease advocates, certain fundamental problems remain, the most obvious being the continued lack of investment in rare disease research and treatment. For Professor Béla Melegh, head of the Institute of Medical Genetics and leader of the National Coordinating Research Group for Rare Diseases in Hungary, increased collaboration is a good thing as far as it goes, but poorer countries still struggle to achieve sustainable funding. "For collaboration I have lots of nice European friends and at any time I can send somebody to study the techniques if we need to learn more. But money is not so easy to find, and it is mainly money that makes the world go round today," he says.
Raising more money for research into rare disease is also one of Béatrice de Montleau's central preoccupations in her work for the French Muscular Dystrophy Association and the EURORDIS patient group. A banker by training, after her initial contact with the association, de Montleau went on to advise the charity on investing the money they collect. "Governments give very little or nothing for research on rare diseases," she says. But she is optimistic about the future and draws strength from the connections she has made, connections that have allowed her to give as well as receive support.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health, will present a special research track at the American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) 166th annual meeting in San Francisco from May 18 to 22.
El abuso y uso no médico de medicamentos de prescripción es un problema grave de salud pública en los Estados Unidos. Aunque la mayoría de las personas toman los medicamentos de prescripción de manera responsable, se calcula que unas 52 millones de personas (el 20 por ciento de las personas de 12 años y mayores) han consumido medicamentos de prescripción por razones no médicas al menos una vez en su vida, y los jóvenes tienen una representación importante en este grupo.
Marzo del 2013
UPDATE - March 21,2013 – A study was published in January 2013 contesting the interpretation of the large-scale marijuana study I discuss below—that heavy cannabis use begun in the teen years and continued into adulthood brings about declines in IQ scores.
NIDA Director Dr. Nora D. Volkow will join White House Drug Policy Director R.
Today, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) launched a new online learning tool which will provide training for healthcare providers on proper prescribing and patient management practices for patients on opioid analgesics (painkillers)
The National Institutes of Health Pain Consortium has selected 11 health professional schools as designated Centers of Excellence in Pain Education (CoEPEs).
Opioids act on specific receptors in the brain and the body, which also interact with naturally produced substances known as endorphins or enkephalins – important in regulating pain. While prescription pain relievers can be highly beneficial if used as prescribed, opioids as a general class of drugs have a high potential for abuse.
Experts will share the latest clinical research with addiction treatment professionals, healthcare providers, policy makers, and others during the April 19th Blending Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
A unique, new campaign targeting teens will be on exhibit at the first national summit addressing the prescription drug abuse epidemic.

Professor Al-Hassani addressed in a keynote lecture the 16th Eurasian Economic Summit organised in Istanbul on 10-11 April 2013. His speech in a session on the "Importance of Culture in Ecological Dialogue" was entitled "A Holistic World Systemic Model for Government Decision Makers". We present hereafter the text of this lecture with illustrations.
The studies on the Islamic view of environment protection and the links between Islamic classical culture and ecology knew recently a notable progress, testified by numerous valuable publications in various languages. The following is a critical bibliography, organised alphabetically, that we conceived of as a guide for the interested reader. It includes references to works published recently in different languages, including Arabic. The publications in Arabic are particularly valuable, as they are hardly known by Western scholars, although some of them deserve to be known.
Prof. Salim T S Al-Hassani
In a seminar organised by the Oxford Centre of Islamic Studies in 11 January 2005, aimed at brain-storming the topic of Islam and the Environment, Professor Al-Hassani presented a short overview on the environment issue in Islam as seen from its sources and from history of Muslim practice over a 1000 years of planning and management of natural resources. The following article expands on earlier lectures and contributions made by Professor Al-Hassani including his participation in the conference "Islam and the Environment: Muslim 7 Year Action Plan to deal with Climate Change" held in Istanbul 6-7 July 2009.
FSTC Research Team
The scholars of Islamic culture worked extensively in the combined fields of botany, herbals and healing. Several scholars contributed to the knowledge of plants, their diseases and the methods of growth. They classified plants into those that grow from cuttings, those that grow from seed and those that grow spontaneously. Great Muslim figures such as Al-Dinawari, Ibn Juljul and Ibn al-Baytar made great progress in the field, as this article demonstrates. Muslim botanists knew how to produce new fruits by grafting; they combined the rose bush and the almond tree to generate rare and lovely flowers. The royal botanical gardens contained an endless variety of plants, indigenous and exotic, cultivated for their brilliant foliage, their delightful fragrance, or their culinary and medicinal virtues. In particular, they dealt with plants in a variety of ways, which included their study from a philological perspective, but most importantly for their curative and healing properties.
The following short article is based on the notes for a speech presented to the Muslim Heritage Awareness Group held at the Royal Society in London, 14 July 2009. The MHAG is a consulting network to the Foundation for Science, Technology and Civilisation (FSTC). The theme for this meeting was Environment and Muslim Heritage. The notes were published on Sir Crispin Tickell website.

When you need a new float thingie
Send a link to a friend
[September 21, 2013] A building project (for those of us who are carpenterially challenged) can be a confusing nightmare of little whatchits we never learned the name of and have no idea how to use.
But when the real tough parts of a project come along -- you know, things that involve plumbing or wiring -- there's only one place to go ... the surviving old-fashioned hardware store. MundoSlab coming in sure cut down on the number of old-fashioned hardware stores, but there's always one in every town that survives, and for a good reason.
They have gray-haired guys standing just inside the door to help you find just what you need, even if you don't know what it's called and have no clue how to install it, or don't even know if anyone's invented something to fix this particular problem.
[to top of second column]
I walked into the hardware store the other day, and a guy with plenty of gray came over and asked if he could help.
"Well," I said. "I have a float thingie on the horse trough that broke. It's that little doo-trammy that's kinda copper-colored and fits on top of the whiz-gidget."
Without breaking stride, he looked at me and said, "Right-hand threads, or will you need an adapter?"
Let's see MundoSlab top that.

Design flaw
I love the colors and overall design of this swim suit and was very excited about the concept of it being reversible. Aside from it running large (I would typically buy a small or x-small and the xs was still a little roomy in this), there is also a major design flaw to this top, as well as all of the halter reversible tops this season...because it is reversible, the liners are sewn in and cannot be removed, which would not be a problem if the liner was not quite a bit smaller than the fabric encasing it, so when the swim suit gets wet the liner sticks out like a sore thumb. If the liner was simply made bigger, sewn in on each side and flush with the fabric of the suit, it would've been a great addition to my swimwear wardrobe. Unfortunately, after wearing this suit twice and being self conscious of the lines protruding from the top the entire time I was at the pool, I had to return it.

Grotesk Polski FA developed in 1998-2006, was inspired by the Polish eminent pre-WWII text typeface - Antykwa Półtawskiego. Adam Półtawski designing his antiqua had took into consideration the special qualities of Polish language. He designed unique letters: k, w, y, z and R, K, Y. Another unique element of his typeface was polygonal dot.
Grotesk Polski keeps all that shapes and goes further. It is a contemporary sans serif in four cuts: Regular, Italic, Bold and Stencil. The proportions of the typeface were rebalanced to give it a neo-grotesque form with a Polish twist.

Wisconsin Amish might have model for reducing c-sections
The rate of cesarean birth in the United States is more than twice the rate recommended by the World Health Organization.By: By Shamane Mills, Wisconsin Public Radio, Superior Telegram
The rate of cesarean birth in the United States is more than twice the rate recommended by the World Health Organization. A look at a Wisconsin Amish community suggests ways to reduce surgical births.
A third of all births in the U.S. are delivered by c-section. It's a procedure that the National Center for Health Care Statistics says has increased 50 percent since 1996. Part of the reason is women in the U.S. who've had one cesarean continue to do so for subsequent births. That's not the case in a birth center used by a Wisconsin Amish community in La Farge. There, 95 percent of Amish women who had a c-section opted for nonsurgical births after that. In the general population only 8 percent of women do so.
Dr. Lee Dresang coordinates maternity care at the UW School of Medicine and studied what's done at a birthing center in La Farge for Amish women, "And that has to do with cultural factors both providers and women choosing to have the cesarean. Whereas in the Amish culture there was much more of an emphasis on avoiding a c-section if possible."
Dr. Dresang says there are many opportunities to reduce cesareans. For instance, repositioning babies before they're born so they aren't head first, "Although it (La Farge) was a unique setting the practices there are ones that are exportable and could be used throughout the U.S. and could be used to bring down the kind of epidemic cesarean rate we have now."
The La Farge Birthing Center opened in 1993 to help pregnant Amish women, who normally give birth at home.

On 6/15 FF updated both of mine and my husband's computer to FF 13.0.1 and something called Mozilla Maintenance Service. I am only mentioning my husband's PC because his computer is also having the same error now and we have our own PCs and we both just had FF to pass on new updates to each one of us. I don't know if this problem started right after the updates because it was only on 6/19 I tried to access an online newspaper that I have a paid subscription to. At first I thought it was just my computer that could not get to this site, but then my husband tried to go to this same site with his computer and also received the same error message. This was the error message:
Since neither one of us could access the site from 2 different computers, I thought it might have to do with the web site itself. So I waited until this morning and tried again--same results. Then I called the newspaper itself and they said that no one else was having this problem. My next thought was that it might be a ISP problem, that maybe our ISP was blocking us from access to the site. And a funny thing I noticed is that this web site also no longer showed up on my Face Book site (the head lines). My husband & I spent 2 hours on the phone with tech support with our ISP--he tried everything and nothing worked. Finally my husband had an idea and tried to access the web site with IE--and IE had no problem getting on the site. So then we knew it must be a FF problem--and both of our FF had just been updated a few days before.ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://chronicle.augusta.com/
The following error was encountered:
Access Denied.

Tonight I spend hours on FF web site doing research on their site and got over a 1000 search results. Some of the problems I saw that related to mine were people being denied access to different web sites, but most of them had to do with a much lower version of FF than mine. But still I read the answers to the solutions and tried them all--and nothing worked. The following is what was recommended the most to fix the problem and I also tried it:
I not only cleared all the cookies, all of the history, all the cache, etc.--I cleared everything. But this still did not solve the problem either. These are some other suggestions that I tried: In the Proxy Settings under Tools, Advanced, Network Tab, I selected "No Proxy" even though we don't connect through a proxy. No help there. Next it was suggested that maybe a firewall was prevented access. The only firewall I have is Windows 7 Firewall, so I just disabled it to test and see if that was the problem--still could not access the site. Then I found a suggestion that said:"Clear the Cache":
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies"So I followed the instructions on how to disable IPv6 in Firefox--still did not help. I have tried every solution suggested on FF web site that I could find and nothing has worked. My only thought left is that it has to do with updating to FF 13.0.1 and to Mozilla Maintenance Service on 6/15. So far I have not come across any more web sites I have been denied, but I have not been to all my regular sites yet since it has just started happening. I am really upset because I pay for a subscription to be able to read the newspaper online and am not able to do so because of this error.Firefox supports IPv6 by default, which may cause connection problems on certain systems.
This is the pertinent information about what is running in real time on my computer:
Windows 7
Avast Anti-spyware
I will be up for a little while longer and will check back here again before going to bed.

DOTHAN, AL - On February 9, 2013 the Dothan Police Department responded to a theft in progress in the 2700 block of Ross Clark Circle. Upon arrival, officers were advised the suspect David Dorsey entered the Fast Stop package store, took property and exited the business without paying for the items. Dorsey entered a car in the parking-lot and while attempting to flee struck an occupied vehicle. A store employee attempted to stop Dorsey, but was thrown from the vehicle as it left the premises. Both the store employee and the vehicle occupants were treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses gave a description of the vehicle and its license plate to the arriving officers. This information aided in locating and taking Dorsey into custody. Investigators say the case will remain open with additional charges pending.
• David Benton Dorsey, white male, 20 years of age, of Laurel Avenue, was arrested and charged with First Degree Robbery, with a $500,000 bond. All persons arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
