Did you know?
Andrew van der Merwe – a world-famous beach calligrapher – creates artworks on the beaches of Cape Town on a regular basis.
Land art is the process of creating an artwork with natural materials from the landscape. 'Artists use things like sticks, sand, mud and stones to create interventions and artworks that focus the viewer's attention on an aspect of their surroundings,' explains artist Anni Snyman, who co-founded Site_Specific, a non-profit group that produces land-art events in South Africa.
While artists' reasons for creating land art may differ, 'it is a way of interacting with the natural world that does not aim to utilise or tame and restrain the environment', says Snyman. By working with the materials, rhythms and processes inherent in nature, land art becomes a way to reintegrate the human, as artist and viewer, with the environment.
While land art can have complex and profound thought processes behind it, part of its appeal is that it's intellectually accessible. 'The spatial experience of walking, being human under a vast sky and upon a textured earth, is one that every human being can access. You do not need to have a degree in art history to appreciate it.'
A guiding principal of the creation of site-specific art is that it may not cause harm to the environment, living creatures or their habitats, and must leave no trace that cannot be reabsorbed into the environment.
While some landscapes are easier to work with than others, 'it is important to realise that the scale of the intervention can be really small, and if the artist has no intention of impressing other humans with the work, then any place that inspires the artist can become the location for land art', says Snyman. This also means that different artworks have different lifespans. 'Some are as ephemeral as the patterns in water, others as "permanent" as enormous boulders stacked upon each other.'
It is generally accepted within the site-specific art community that good land art focuses the viewer's attention on an aspect of the environment that might have been overlooked otherwise. In this way, it can act as a framing device that brings meaning to the site, celebrating the natural world, and sometimes making a statement about its use, conservation or simple beauty.
Aartmoeders by Simon Max Bannister and Calling the Herd by Strijdom van der Merwe are two well-known pieces of land art along the Eden to Addo land-art route that visitors to South African can see. Other places where people can experience site-specific art in South Africa include the Nirox sculpture park at the Cradle of Humankind. You can also see Marco Cianfanelli's installation at Nelson Mandela's capture site near Howick in KwaZulu-Natal and a thatch sculpture by Angus Taylor at the botanical garden in Potchefstroom.
There are also quite a few examples of land art on Boland wine farms, while 'all prehistoric art can be seen as land art. Rock engravings and paintings can be found all over South Africa,' says Snyman.
As well as being a 'memory anchor', different cultural traditions like weaving, thatching and mud painting, as well as certain patterns found in traditional pottery and crafts, find their way into land art.
'Very often land artists are concerned with environmental issues such as disappearing habitats and species, so the artwork can act as an entrance point for people to learn more about the natural, as well as the cultural, world,' says Snyman.

Around the area
South Africa's beautiful environments inspire artists around the country to experiment with land art, so you'll find it in some of the country's most scenic areas, including on beaches, wine farms, mountains and other diverse landscapes.
Tours to do
The Eden to Addo Corridor Initiative hosts a hike every September, while artists Galeo Saintz and Simon Max Bannister are in the process of developing eco-art trails.
What will it cost
Land art is generally free for anyone to enjoy.
What's happening
The Land Art Biennale takes place in South Africa every two years. It is a platform for established South African artists to meet, learn from and work with international land artists and vice versa. There are generally many opportunities for the public to participate and interact with the artists.
Best buys
You can't buy land art, but many artists who create site-specific art also sell artworks in other genres.

THE new mayor of Kidderminster has paid tribute to one of his "very, very best friends", the late former Wyre Forest councillor Mike Oborski, after being becoming the town's first citizen for 2014/15.
Mike Price, who is also a Wyre Forest district councillor for the Liberal Party for Offmore and Comberton ward, was handed the town's golden chains at a Mayor making session held in Kidderminster on Thursday last week, taking over from John Campion.
Mr Price, 62, was born in Droitwich and moved to Kidderminster in 1970 when his father got a job in the town. He moved to Stourport after his father died, where he was a Stourport town councillor between 1979 and 1984. He moved back to Kidderminster 18 years ago and was first elected to Wyre Forest District Council in 2007, following Mr Oborski's death.
He added: "I took over from Mike when he died, he was one of my very, very best friends. I have been friends with Mike and Fran Oborski for 40 years and knew them before they even got elected."
The new Mayor has also been deputy Mayor for the past year.
He told The Shuttle: "It is an absolute honour and I am so grateful for the chance to do this and I shall do my utmost to promote the town. I have had 12 months as [district council chairman] Fran Oborski's consort, so I have been to all the functions I shall go to again this year, where I got to meet a lot of people, so I have had a bit of a practice run and really enjoyed it.
"A lot of past Mayors attended last week's ceremony so their support was really nice."
Mr Price's civil partner of eight years Paul Simpson will be the Mayor's consort for the year. His Mayoral charities will be Wyre Forest Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA) and the First Kidderminster Boys' Brigade.
"SARA is an absolutely wonderful organisation and solely funded by the charitable organisers and they do an excellent job and they are nice people, I think it really is a wonderful cause," he added. "The Boys' Brigade turn up to a lot of functions and any time you want them to help out with a band or marshaling, they are there. I wanted to give them a helping hand."
Outgoing Mayor Mr Campion said: "[Consort Sally Chambers] and I have had a fantastic year celebrating all that is good about Kidderminster. We have unashamedly highlighted the good things. I have enjoyed celebrating all the voluntary groups whether it be SARA who we raised £6,000 for, Mentorlink or the Severn Valley Railway - all of which depend on people giving their time.
"As first citizen of Kidderminster what stood out for me was the town's marking of Remembrance Sunday and being able to take the salute and see the hundreds of people who turned out to pay their respects to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice."
At last Thursday's ceremony, Labour councillor Barry McFarland was voted deputy Mayor for the year.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/1/2013 (1675 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My neighbour across the alley is literally nuts. We moved into a rented house a few years ago, and at first she seemed nice, but then I started noticing weird behaviour. She loves squirrels, like pets. This would just be a quirk, except the woman has started throwing peanuts everywhere to feed them -- on her property, in everyone's back yards, on the next-door neighbour's shed. I even watched her carefully line peanuts all across the INSIDE of her neighbour's four-foot high fence. I finally asked her to stop, as squirrels are rodents, climbing all over my house constantly and I don't want them inside the attic. She flipped out and the next day there was a pile of peanuts in my backyard. Her husband shut the door in my face when I approached him over his wife's crazy behaviour. I called the city about it, but they said they couldn't do much. Most days when I come home, she watches me out the back window. Neighbours have tried talking to her -- one neighbour actually has a nephew with a peanut allergy. She doesn't care, and she's upped the retaliation on anyone who reports her. How do we get her to stop? -- Nutbar Problem, St. James
Dear Nutbar Problem: You can't expect reasonable behaviour from an unreasonable person. Your only have two options -- accept this as your reality and live with it, or move. You could keep going at this woman, but one day you could come home, and she might have done something really rash. In her brain, all she can see is her beloved squirrels starving in the winter because of the likes of you. (The husband can do nothing about it.) You shouldn't have to move, but it's not as difficult with a rental house, and it could be the difference between a happy life and a stressful life. A crazy neighbour can cause enough daily stress to raise your blood pressure. It's not worth it. Sometimes it's better to capitulate.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm in a life-changing time. After more than 25 years of marriage, I've recently confirmed my husband has been having extra-marital sex, in spite of a verbal agreement we made eons ago to "leave the marriage" if we had an urge to seek sex elsewhere. I stuck to my side of the agreement, but unfortunately he didn't. As I have progressed through the "horribleness" of the situation in last 1.5 years, my girlfriends and I are trying so hard to figure out how and why men, who have free will and opportunity to seek guidance, instead seek instant gratification of often unhealthy things, when the going gets tough. And then many learn the hard way that was not such a good thing to do.
I look at my husband and think "Who are you? I always trusted you." Now I can never trust him. I hear about this behaviour more and more. It is like they have only ego and their sexual organ, and no soul. -- Not So Joyful, Winnipeg
Dear Not So Joyful: Actually, you didn't have to make an effort to stick to your side of the agreement because you didn't want to have sex outside the marriage. What was your sex life like with your husband prior to the cheating? If it was almost non-existent, as is the case in too many 25-year marriages, who didn't want it? Clearly he still wanted a sex life. Look, if he was having a warm sexual relationship with you and another woman as a side dish, that's just greed. If he wasn't having much (or any) sex with you and didn't want to "bother you" or break up the family unit, then it's not as surprising when a woman comes along wanting to make love with him, and he succumbs to the temptation. Did your really expect him to say, "My dear wife of 25 years, I want to have sex with someone else, so as per our agreement, I will be off now." That's what a woman might say. A man is more likely to sample the outside sex and hope he doesn't get caught, before he destroys the marriage and family unit.

Never Run Alone Again with New Personal Safety App
ITHACA, NY — An average of 237,868 people are sexually assaulted each year, a shocking number that becomes even more alarming when it's personal. When Adam Peruta, an avid runner and running coach, heard his friend was sexually assaulted while running alone, he knew he had to do something.
Peruta, assistant professor in the Department of Strategic Communication at Ithaca College, was inspired to create Yank, an app that allows people to alert friends and family when they're in a dangerous situation or in need of assistance.
Yank works in the background of a user's phone while they listen to music through their headphones. If the user feels threatened or sustains an injury, they can simply yank their headphones out and an alert with their mapped GPS location is sent to designated emergency contacts via email and text message within seconds.
When headphones are yanked out, the phone beeps and a 20 second countdown begins, allowing the user to cancel the alert sequence if triggered accidentally. If the user is in immediate danger, they can tap the screen to skip the countdown and send the alert immediately.
"One important thing to note is that the alert sequence triggers are scheduled immediately in the cloud," said Peruta. "This was done because an attacker may take the phone and smash it, and we want to be sure the message goes out every single time."
Although Yank was created with runners in mind, Pertua says it can be useful for anyone who encounters an issue while alone.
Peruta developed the app on the Startup Bus, a competition that puts a team of strangers on a bus and challenges them to create a startup in 72 hours. The trip ends at the popular South by Southwest annual conference, where competitors pitch their idea to a panel of judges. Peruta is still partnered with one of his teammates from the bus, and they have been working with Citrrus, an app development company, to update Yank and roll out new features.
"Our future plan includes getting Alarm Charms or little plugs made that would fit into the headphone jack to activate the alarm feature in lieu of headphones. Yanking the Charm would activate the alert sequence like the headphones do now," said Peruta. "Users see the value in the app and would like it to be available outside of just using it with headphones."
Currently, Yank is only available on iOS7 devices but Peruta hopes to expand. He is looking into creating an enterprise version of the app that would tie into college campus public safety systems, and eventually Yank could partner with a 24/7 call center.

The Rangers have recalled Mats Zuccarello from Hartford, because Marian Gaborik is not skating today due to a groin injury.
Here's the official announcement, from the Rangers:
New York, December 22, 2010 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that forward Mats Zuccarello has been recalled from the Connecticut Whale of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Zuccarello, 23, has registered a point in five of the last six games, tallying four goals and four assists over the span, and has recorded 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in the last 20 games. In his first AHL season, Zuccarello has registered 13 goals and 11 assists for 24 points, along with 16 penalty minutes in 32 games with Connecticut. He is tied for second among AHL rookies and ranks second on the team in goals, and is tied for third in the league among rookies and third on the Whale in scoring with 24 points. He is also tied for second on the team with 97 shots on goal, fourth with three power play goals and ranks fifth in assists. Zuccarello posted an AHL career-high, four points, including his first career hat trick in a 7-1 win vs. Bridgeport on November 7. He made his AHL debut on October 9 vs. Charlotte, and tallied his first career point with a goal on October 15 at Albany.
Prior to joining Connecticut, the 5-7, 174-pounder skated in 90 games over two seasons with Modo of the Swedish Elite League (SEL), registering 35 goals and 69 assists for 104 points, along with 100 penalty minutes. He led the SEL in scoring and captured the Guldhjalmen award as the league's Most Valuable Player last season, establishing career-highs in goals (23), assists (41), points (64), and penalty minutes (62). Zuccarello also represented Norway at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, finishing third on the team in scoring with three points (one goal, two assists) in four contests.
The Oslo, Norway native signed with the Rangers as a free agent on May 26, 2010.
The Rangers return to action tomorrow when they will face-off against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Madison Square Garden (7:00 p.m.). Prior to the game, the Blueshirts optional morning skate is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at the MSG Training Center.

Topic: Amended Clinical Trial bill
Action Needed on Important Health Care Reform Amendment Contact Your United States SenatorsTake Action!
Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) have introduced an amendment to the Senate health care reform bill that would require insurance companies to pay for the routine costs associated with participation in clinical trials.
There are numerous reasons why patients do not enroll in clinical trials but one of the most significant is due to lack of insurance coverage for the costs associated with their participation. This amendment will allow patients to enroll in clinical trials with the assurance that all costs associated will be covered.
please contact your two United States Senators and ask them to support the Brown - Hutchison clinical trials amendment.

We live in a rapidly globalizing world. That means the ability to meaningfully engage with people from other cultures—once seen as a "nice to have" quality that revealed your level of sophistication and, perhaps, political correctness—is fast becoming a "must-have." Chances are, your kids go to school with and will one day work with people from a dizzying array of races, beliefs, and backgrounds. If they can connect across these cultural differences, they'll be far more likely to lead successful lives, says Janet Penn, executive director of Youth LEAD, a nonprofit organization based in Massachusetts.
"Feeling comfortable with those who are different—and more to the point, being able to have tough conversations about these differences—has become a critical life skill," Penn says. "You can't collaborate and innovate if you can't get beyond surface relationships. You must be able to 'agree to disagree' while still respecting the other person and learning something new. These are tough skills that are typically not taught in school."
Left to our own devices, most of us make one of three choices, Penn says. One, we choose to talk only with like-minded people. Two, we argue; we try to convince a person with a different point of view that he or she is wrong. Three, we simply don't talk about the elephant in the room—it's too hot to touch. There is another option, but it requires a dedicated effort and the opportunity to practice the appropriate skills—and that's where most people fall short.
"Most of us have paid lip service to the benefits of cross-cultural understanding and the notion that 'diversity is desirable,'" reflects Penn. "But this feel-good sentiment does little to effect real change in behavior. What kids need is exposure and practice—exposure to people from other cultures and practice in talking about sensitive issues without getting upset or combative. It's the only way to get comfortable with having meaningful interactions with those who are different."
A major new web initiative by Harvard's Pluralism Project, America's Interfaith Infrastructure Study, a pilot initiative of The Pluralism Project, documents the growth of interfaith initiatives across the U.S. and considers the implications of our multi-religious reality for citizenship and leadership today and in the future.
Clearly, cross-cultural understanding is a hot topic. So how can we as parents foster it in our own kids? Penn says it's really about seizing "teachable moments" as they arise and also about creating more of those opportunities for our kids. For example:
When kids see that you socialize only with others just like you, they will question your credibility. You don't have to go to absurd lengths to create your own rainbow coalition of friends—that will seem fake and contrived—but kids need to see that you're open minded and not "rigid." Still, there's nothing wrong with expanding your social circle a little. As your child learns, you'll learn also. This is a journey you undertake together.
"Be curious!" Penn says. "Reach out and introduce yourself to someone new. Ask questions. Don't be afraid to mispronounce their name. You might make an effort to befriend the Muslim parent of your child's classmate or the Jewish parent of his soccer teammate. Let the relationship unfold naturally and definitely accept any invitations, especially those that include the kids."
When a subject that makes you uncomfortable comes up in conversation, especially with someone who holds a different viewpoint, don't do the subject-change tango. Instead, model the "healthy" way to disagree. Here are just a few techniques Youth LEAD uses in its dialogue training classes:
1. Use "I" statements to personalize thoughts and feelings. Let's say, for example, that you get pulled into a discussion with someone who adamantly opposes gay individuals serving in the military. You could say: "I have a brother who's gay. I find it upsetting when I hear inflammatory statements about gay people joining the military. I have great respect for anyone who puts his or her life on the line for our country." Using "I" statements prevents the conversation from becoming accusatory.
2. Ask the right questions. This will help you get to the heart of others' core principles and beliefs. If we can learn to ask questions out of genuine interest in another person, it can turn a conversation in a new direction. For example, you might ask, "Do you have a personal connection to this topic?" or "What about your life experience has influenced your beliefs?"
3. Remain silent long enough to listen. In order to benefit from the questions mentioned above, you have to listen deeply to the other person's answers. Remain silent. Listen rather than thinking about the next thing you're going to say. When you are a better listener, you can ask better questions. Eventually the other person comes to see that you do care about what they have to say. You might not be able to reach a complete agreement, but you can reach mutual respect.
"These tips work with all sorts of controversial issues, not just in 'diversity' situations," says Penn. "Use them whenever you have any sort of disagreement with anyone, about any subject."??
Ask kids what they know about Islam or Passover or the African-American community. Engage them in discussions. Being active observers of the news is a good way to gauge kids' attitudes and those of their friends and to share your own.
"This is no substitute for face-to-face interaction with people from other cultures, of course, but it is a good starting point," Penn says. "We tend to live in our own insulated little bubbles, and the news serves as our window on the larger world. Knowing what the issues are opens the door to conversations that can result in deeper understanding and acceptance of other cultures."
Don't stand quietly by and listen to a disparaging remark aimed at a woman wearing a hijab, for instance. You might gently say to the perpetrator, "Imagine how it would feel if the shoe were on the other foot. Perhaps you don't know how hurtful your words can be." This is the right thing to do and it's especially valuable if kids are present. "If you don't feel safe confronting a rude or even hostile person, you can certainly offer a kind word to the recipient of the remark," Penn says. "If it seems relevant, turn the event into a learning experience. 'I'm sorry that man was so insensitive. I can see that your feelings are hurt and I want you to know that not everyone in our city has that kind of attitude. Can you tell me a little about your faith?'"
Attending a worship service of a faith different from your own can be a tremendously educational and enriching experience. Of course, it's not always advisable to "drop in" at a place of worship if you don't know anyone. However, if you have a personal relationship with someone from a different tradition, you might ask if you and your family can be his/her guest. That way you can learn about what's going on and be comfortable walking in the door.
This can be an amazing learning experience for you and your kids, and traveling abroad can be surprisingly affordable if you do your research. However, if you determine this kind of adventure is out of your price range, visiting an ethnic section of a nearby city can be a good substitute. Try out restaurants, shops, street festivals, etc. The idea is to immerse kids in culturally diverse environments. There may even be an opportunity to turn this into a school project, perhaps for extra credit.
"You want to get kids comfortable with the reality that there are many different ways to live and that all have their own unique beauty," says Penn. "As they explore the sights and sounds and flavors of a different culture, they will find that people are alike in so many ways—they all respond to a smile, a friendly greeting, and a kind word."
This is another good way to expose kids to the customs, traditions, languages, and culture of another country. Having someone in your home 24/7 almost necessitates a certain "depth" to your relationship—after all, this is a person you and your kids will laugh with, learn with, and hopefully hold meaningful conversations with. Lifelong friendships can grow from these experiences.
Youth LEAD is just one of many organizations that bring young people from different cultures together for mutual education and meaningful interaction. As mentioned earlier, Harvard's Pluralism Project identified interfaith groups in cities across America, and there are many youth leadership programs that foster understanding across differences.
"Look to see what your community has to offer," advises Penn. "I would urge you to look for an organization that moves beyond educational and social purposes."
You might be surprised at what's out there. Many communities, nonprofit organizations, worship centers, and schools host events that are free or open to families at a very low cost. Whether it's a Japanese cherry blossom festival, a speaking presentation by an African dignitary, an Islamic art exhibit, or an interfaith gathering, you'll likely find an event that your entire family can enjoy.
For hundreds of great cultural and kid-friendly events in the NYC area, head to our full, searchable calendar of events.
"It's human nature to get stuck in a comfortable rut," says Penn. "Change takes effort and sometimes it means confronting our own prejudices and assumptions. Yet taking action to expose kids to a broader worldview is always worth doing, not only for them but for us as well. What many parents find surprising when they take this journey is not how well their kids respond, but how much richer and more interesting their own lives become."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Tim Lincecum pitched a six-hitter for his fourth career shutout and Pablo Sandoval hit an RBI double to help the San Francisco Giants open the second half of the season with a 2-0 victory over the New York Mets on Thursday night.
Lincecum (10-4) is coming off his third straight trip to the All-Star game, but was able to start the first game after the break because he was not used in Tuesday night's game in Anaheim.
The Mets were hoping for a big offensive boost this game with the return of five-time All-Star Carlos Beltran to the lineup. He batted cleanup and played center field, but was caught stealing after his only hit.
Lincecum struck out five and walked one in the 110-pitch outing for San Francisco, which has won eight of 10.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Former Ohio State football star Jim Stillwagon has pleaded not guilty to charges accusing him of firing shots at another driver during a road rage incident last year.
A prosecutor's spokeswoman says 63-year-old Stillwagon pleaded not guilty Monday to four felonious assault counts in Delaware County, north of Columbus. A hearing to set a trial date is scheduled April 8.
Police say Stillwagon was on a motorcycle and fired shots at the driver of a pickup truck Sept. 30. One shot grazed the 41-year-old man's head.
Stillwagon was legally carrying the gun. His attorney has said he fired in self-defense.
The college Hall of Fame middle guard helped the Buckeyes to a national championship in 1968.
Messages were left Monday at his home and his attorney's office.

It can't be easy trying to manage 53-plus overgrown children with six- or seven-figure bank accounts, and the New York Jets PR staff is trying as hard as possible. It's arguably the toughest job in the NFL, given the history of problem children the Jets have produced in recent years. Plus, there's that whole "media capital of the world" thing. In order to help their players with the media process, they've handed out "media bridge" cards that contain suggested phrases to use with reporters. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News took some shots: Jets have given players "Media Bridges" card: List of phrases to use with reporters. Here's front: pic.twitter.com/T73EGZ9aDe — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) August 21, 2013 Here's the back of "Media Bridge" card given to all Jets players: pic.twitter.com/ljdBJZm51h — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) August 21, 2013 "Your audience would be interesting to knowing [sic] that" is a personal favorite. The rest aren't too bad, but nobody will ever use that with the media. Besides, who in the media wants to get a quote with that in it? You realize we're looking for sound bites and statements that don't sound manufactured, right? Again, I can see the rest of it being said, but it also seems like common sense. Just more silliness from Gang Green.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/12/2012 (1704 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Despite fears of the end of the world in 2012, it was a very good year for jazz in Winnipeg.
One of the best jazz acts to perform here, the Vijay Iyer Trio, did so during the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival audience in June, but on a venue away from the main festival.
Pianist Iyer, bassist Stefan Crump and drummer Tyshawn Sorey had to move their performance to the Park Theatre after the festival discovered the original venue -- the new, so-called Winnipeg's Cultural City Hall -- was unavailable on the eve of a week's worth of shows booked there.
Former Aqua Books owner Kelly Hughes had told Jazz Winnipeg the new venue on Princess Street was ready, but its renovation was incomplete and it was unusable. Jazz Winnipeg had to scramble to rebook shows. It happened again in July when the Fringe Festival had to do the same. The non-profit Cultural City Hall still isn't open for business.
The move didn't hurt Iyer, at least, as a good audience found its way to his two Park shows and was rewarded by playing that bristles with energy and imagination. The trio was touring to support its new CD, Accelerando, one of the best recordings released this year.
A surprise treat was the November performance of Cyrille Aimée, the Brooklyn-based French singer who appeared with the Hot Club of Detroit as part of the Izzy Asper Jazz Performances series.
She was a great fit with a band celebrating the great Gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and a revelation for those of us who got their first taste of her beautiful voice, delivery and sense of humour.
Singer Gretchen Parlato's emotional and languid style captured her jazz festival audience.
She made every word count as she performed her unique, wistful style of jazz, in which the substitution of sounds for words makes her as much an instrumentalist as a singer.
When bass virtuoso Christian McBride comes to town, it's time to rejoice and ride the tight groove.
For his October Asper series shows, he led a great band of alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, pianist Peter Martin, vibraphonist Warren Wolf and drummer Carl Allen through mainly McBride compositions.
McBride's playing and writing are so good, so top tier, that every tune grabs your attention and you'd like the concert to keep going, and going...
This year also saw the appointment of Will Bonness as the new assistant professor of piano in the jazz studies department of the University of Manitoba's faculty of music.
Bonness, in his mid-20s, is a graduate of the program, studied in New York and Boston, and is simply a versatile, great pianist.
He's been around the jazz world for along time, though. He started at 17 by going on a world tour with Maynard Ferguson's Big Bop Nouveau Band -- a sign of the big things ahead.

As I take a look back, Jazz Winnipeg is looking ahead and inviting local musicians to apply to be a part of the 2013 TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival.
"Programming emphasis is obviously placed on jazz music, but pop, blues, roots, indie, R&B, soul and urban music are also important parts of the event," the producer of the annual June festival says in a statement.
"Submissions should demonstrate forethought about repertoire and personnel. Please tell us what you plan to do, how it is different from your local performances throughout the year, and why it should be a part of this exciting event!"
Jazz Winnipeg added its Nu Sounds Series will be returning for a eighth season, from December 2013 to May 2014, at the Park Theatre.
It invites "Manitoba jazz musicians to develop unique performance concepts for presentation in this series. Some considerations might be collaborations with musicians you don't normally work with; unconventional material; improvised work; concept-based work. The idea is to invite you to explore material in an intimate concert-setting that you might not ordinarily have the opportunity to present. Preference is typically given to projects that focus on innovation and new ideas."
Proposals can be submitted by email to firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday, Feb. 22, 2013 at 5 p.m.
"Proposals can be fairly informal and should consist mainly of two to three paragraphs outlining your concept and a short bio for each of the musicians involved. If appropriate, please also send music selections. If your technical requirements are out of the ordinary, please also make a note of these," festival organizers say.

Photographers capturing GPS metadata and using Photoshop may run into problems saving TIFF files—Photoshop may strip the GPS metadata when it saves a file as TIFF. This bug does not affect other file formats (PSD and JPEG for example), but if your customers require TIFF files instead of PSD, there is no obvious way to avoid the problem using Photoshop. The good news is Bridge can help. Bridge can write GPS metadata into TIFFs, so you can use Bridge scripting to automate copying missing GPS metadata back into TIFF files.

Mrs. Beebe was wife to Wilson Beebe and I remember her as a rather sophisticated woman. Her maiden name was TAYLOR. She had a pedigreed Dachschund that got loose one day and mated with Mr. Beebe's hunting hound....the pups were so ugly they were cute! Mrs. B. was highly upset!!
Mom used to help clean house every so often while sis and I were at school and/or "helping" during the Summer. I sure miss those simpler days in the country!

Saint Leo, Fla. (March 12, 2007) – Saint Leo University softball player Kiki VonHolt (Jr., New Port Richey, Fla.) has been named Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of the Week, it was announced Monday.
VonHolt posted a 3-0 record last week in four starts with a 0.58 ERA. In 24.1 innings, she allowed two earned runs on 14 hits and four walks while striking out 15.
In a win over 3-0 win over North Alabama, VonHolt hurled a complete-game shutout, allowing four hits and two walks with four strikeouts. In a 4-3 win over No. 2 Alabama-Huntsville, she appeared in 5.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks. VonHolt did not earn a decision in the contest.
Earlier in the week, she posted back-to-back shutouts with a one-hit victory against Salem International and a three-hit win versus Palm Beach Atlantic.
Saint Leo student-athletes have now earned a total of 12 SSC Player of the Week awards in the 2006-07 school year. VonHolt is the first softball player to earn the weekly conference honor this season.
The Lions softball team will host Molloy College tomorrow in a doubleheader beginning at 3:00 p.m. at University Field.

Gonzalez takes the Angels down a notch
O's make it two straight to claim rare series win for Anaheim visitors
ANAHEIM -- This three-city road trip on the West Coast promised to be a huge test for the first-place Orioles coming out of the All-Star break. And while they just hit halfway on Tuesday night, the O's are starting to gain some traction. Coming off of a series loss in Oakland, Baltimore has done the near-impossible: beat the Angels at home.
Backed by another stellar outing from the surging Miguel Gonzalez, the O's made a trio of sixth-inning runs stand up to hand the Halos their first consecutive losses since June 15 and 16. Baltimore's 4-2 victory on Tuesday night, which snapped the Angels' club record of 10 consecutive home series wins, keeps its four-game lead in the American League East intact and puts the O's (55-44) a season-high 11 games over .500.
"They are just good, period," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of an Angels team that leads the Majors in runs scored and entered Tuesday the only club to average more than five runs per game. "We've been fortunate the last two nights to have two guys who have pitched well here. They've pitched well against us, too. That's the other reason why I'll be glad when we are done playing them."
Gonzalez, optioned to Triple-A to make a start during the break, followed up Monday's stellar outing from Bud Norris in going went 7 2/3 innings to continue an impressive month of July. The 30-year-old righty allowed only Mike Trout's two-out homer as his last batter of the game, and scattered three hits and four walks to put his ERA at 1.90 in three starts this month.
Even more impressive is that it comes on the heels of a June in which Gonzalez pitched to a 6.14 ERA -- the highest mark of any month in his career -- and never surpassed five innings in a single start.
What's the difference?
"The main thing is confidence," said Gonzalez who turned in his fourth quality start in as many tries against the Angels, the organization that originally drafted him. "And just following whatever [catcher] Caleb [Joseph] does back there. He did a great job tonight changing speeds."
Showalter had a different theory.
"Competition is a good thing," said the manager, referring to the Orioles looming rotation crunch with Ubaldo Jimenez currently on the disabled list. "Not only the teams we are playing but we have some depth there. I think the 88-90 pitches in Norfolk did him well, wasn't sitting around there."
Norris also made a start in the Minor Leagues over the All-Star break, prompting Showalter to tease the rest of the staff that they'd be spending some time in the Minors, as well.
"I was kidding the guys in the outfield today, I was saying, 'OK, you are going to Aberdeen for your work day. You are going to Norfolk for your work day, You are going to Frederick for your work day.' The only guy I was able to fool was [Kevin] Gausman," Showalter said of the right-hander, who has been yo-yo'ed back and forth several times this year. "He goes, 'I've already been to Aberdeen.' "
The Orioles' stellar pitching was once again backed by just enough run support, with J.J. Hardy and Jonathan Schoop each driving in a pair of runs.
The Orioles broke through the scoreless tie in the sixth with a two-out double from Hardy, who laced a ball into right-center field to score a hustling Chris Davis from first base.
Schoop, who singled in the second inning, increased the lead to three with a two-run homer off reliever Mike Morin's 89-mph fastball. Schoop drilled the 0-1 offering into the center-field rocks to mark his eighth homer of the season.
"The game can snowball and speed up on you," said Morin, who got Davis down 0-2 before he singled off the end of his bat. "I was one pitch away from getting all three guys out."
Instead, Schoop gave the O's some breathing room and Hardy doubled again to tack on another run in the eighth inning off reliever Fernando Salas, who gave up a leadoff two-bagger to Nelson Cruz.
"I think you have to believe in yourself," said Schoop, who has dealt with some ups and downs offensively in his rookie season. "Sometimes you doubt yourself. Sometimes you don't want to, but you doubt yourself. You've got to believe and that's what I kept telling J.J. I want to get hot. You've got to believe it. I know I can do it. I keep going to the cage every day and work and try to get better."
Schoop, who turned in his 12th multihit game, has hit all eight of his home runs this season on the road against right-handed pitchers and has come up with some big blasts. Tuesday's included.
"He's strong," Hardy said. "We all know he's capable of doing it. He keeps talking about getting hot and hopefully that's the start of it."
Following Gonzalez's stellar start, which ended on Trout's two-run blast, right-hander Tommy Hunter retired Albert Pujols to end the eighth inning with closer Zach Britton picking up the save.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- New babies Aiden and Donavyn couldn't wait until New Year's Day to come screaming into the world, but the circumstances of the birth of the Ohio cousins are still pretty special.
The babies were born about two hours apart on Monday -- to mothers who are identical twins.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/YQpn3X ) reports that the 19-year-old mothers -- Aimee and Ashlee Nelson weren't raised to do things alike and did not plan the births to come at the same time. In fact, their due dates were about a week apart.
But Donavyn Scott Bratten was born just after noon on the last day of 2012, and Aiden Lee Alan Dilts made his appearance at about 2 p.m. Both were delivered by the same doctor at Summa Akron City Hospital.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Sep 30, 2011.
QuestionMy question is in regards to the intelligence of refinancing an underwater mortgage and whether I''m missing anything. My underwater mortgage is a fixed rate mortgage of 6% with 25 years remaining (and I am currently paying PMI). I recently locked in a 3.875% fixed rate (3.94% APR) for a loan amount that was 80% LTV of the Zillow ZEstimate of my home. Unfortunately, my home appraisal recently came back and it was lower than the ZEstimate (making my current mortgage balance 116% of the actual appraised value rather than the 104% of the Zillow ZEstimate I had hoped to get). I''m considering paying down the additional amount at closing, but under these circumstances, that would reduce my non-retirement investments by a little over 90% and would take me about 6.5 years to recoup those closing costs if I were to set aside the difference in mortgage payments (disregarding both the eroding effects of inflation and any positive investment gains). Thanks for your time.
There are numerous factors to consisder One is to compare the amount you're earning on your current investments to the differential in mortgage interest payments. If you're earning less than about 2%, and don't have expectations of earning more in the near to mid term, you should pay off part of the mortgage. You should make it a priority to bank any cash flow savings you have from the new arrangement to replenish the investments you drew.
One caveat -- you should not deplete your investments beyond the point of having at least several months of reserve in case of an emergency.
Another consideration is whether you intend to keep your home or sell it in the near future. Depending on many circumstances, your lender might consider assenting to a short sale.
There are some programs available to help homeowners who are in your situation. Some banks are offering assistance. and notably, the FHA has a new refinancing program that forgives 10% of a qualified borrower's original mortgage principal.
There are tax implications to mortgage forgiveness, so be sure to check with your CPA before doing this.

text: I recently returned from visiting friends in Hamburg, Germany. It was my first trip to the city on the Elbe. Tall metal cranes unloading container ships score the horizon. Musty cathedrals stand side by side with shiny modern buildings and narrow row houses lean into each other as if to hear a secret. Canal boats channel tourists through a maze of the city's waterways. There are sidewalk cafes and leafy parks and bicycles everywhere. The landscape was not like the pastoral Black Forest tableau I'd envisioned. But travel is all about new experiences, especially the food, and I arrived in Hamburg very hungry.

"WeddingPaperDivas was wonderful to help me customize the card for my wedding colors and the paper and envelopes are great quality."
"I ordered these thank you cards in the Chenille color (blush pink). When the cards arrived and we folded them the blush pink is hardly noticeable and looks almost white. Other than this the card is very nice. the color just seems a bit more pink on the computer than in person."
"Love the thank you card and so do the people we gave them to. Love the design. Couldn't have asked for a nicer thank you card. Your printing company is excellent!!!"
"The cards are perfect and they came super fast! I can't wait to send them out after the wedding! We also got our wedding invitations from here and LOVE THEM! Great work Wedding Paper Divas the cute box they are delivered in is just the added touch to make them that much special!"
"I love these thank you cards. Not only do they fit our wedding theme perfectly, but they are simply stunning to the eye! We asked the WPD professional designers to capitalize our names on them, and they did with no hassle! They look beautiful and I can't wait to send them out!"

The Atlanta Braves just confirmed that the team intends to leave Turner Field after 2016 and relocate to a new suburban ballpark. Located just a few miles from downtown Atlanta, the stadium will "combine the aesthetic charm of a 65% capacity Turner with the stale urine smell of Fulton County Stadium".
The field itself will be modeled after the one used at Turner with a few modifications. The left field fence will be moved in substantially to accommodate Evan Gattis' range. The right field fence will display an outline of where future Yankees star Jason Heyward currently plays.
Literally one third of half a dozen food upgrades are planned. Among the new culinary establishments is the Tomahawk Chopsticks Native American and Asian fusion grill. For the less adventurous there will be the Infield Fry bar and grill where the specialty is the "Fully loaded infield fries served with a house wine." Noms.
While many longtime fans have expressed reservations about the move, the opportunity to see the Chief Noc-A-Homa wedding chapel come to fruition may win people over quickly. No news as of now on whether Princess Win-A-Lotta will be asked to return.

The Mets announced Thursday that John Franco has been elected to the team's Hall of Fame, the 26th person in team history to be so honored.
Franco pitched for the Mets from 1990-2004, and serves in my mind as a constant in what was a turbulent decade to be a Mets fan. From my perspective, they acquired him when I was nine years old, and he stayed a Met until I was 24. So this certainly feels right to me.
With Franco in the fold, the Mets from that 1997-2000 window of success are now open to be added, it appears. Mike Piazza sure ought to follow, along with Edgardo Alfonzo and Bobby Valentine. You could certainly make a case for John Olerud or Robin Ventura as well-the former is among all-time Mets leaders in WAR (wins above replacement) though he played just three seasons in New York, and the latter gave us GRAND SLAM SINGLE.
Regardless, a good move by the Mets here. Franco is a worthy addition to the team Hall.

So I assume that the grit level of finish is the same effect. Now the size and number also play a role. For example:
the difference between
Where there are many but smaller teeth, or less and larger teeth.
Under similar wear conditions, the larger teeth will still be present after the smaller teeth have disappeared. A coarse edge will have a longer usable life span than a highly refined edge.
The irregular patterns(jnats?) should have a longer comparable edge life. Just as timber saws, chainsaws, and other cutting tools have multiple size teeth in pattern(or random) configurations
Hope I'm in the ballpark with this.

When the Nanny Leaves
August 21, 2017,
Chronic granulomatous disease is an inherited disorder in which immune system cells called phagocytes do not function properly. This leads to ongoing and severe infection.
CGD; Fatal granulomatosis of childhood; Chronic granulomatous disease of childhood; Progressive septic granulomatosis
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a genetic disorder in which certain immune system cells are unable to kill some types of bacteria and fungi. The disorder leads to long term (chronic) and repeated (recurrent) infections. The condition is often discovered in very early childhood. Milder forms may be diagnosed during the teen years or even in adulthood.
Impetigo, skin abscesses and furuncles, and perianal and rectal abscesses are common in people with this disorder. Pneumonia that keeps coming back, and is caused by bacteria not typical of most pneumonias, is a significant problem. Chronic swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, with the formation of abscesses, is common.
Risk factors include a family history of recurrent or chronic infections.
About half of CGD cases are passed down through families as a recessive, sex-linked trait. This means that boys are more likely to get the disorder than girls. Boys have an X and a Y chromosome. Girls have two X chromosomes. The defective gene is carried on the X chromosome. So, if a girl has one X chromosome with the defective gene, the other X chromosome may have a working gene to make up for it. A girl has to inherit the defective gene from both parents in order to have the disease.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show:
There may be signs of a bone infection (osteomyelitis ), sometimes affecting multiple bones.
Tests that may be done include:
Antibiotics are used to treat the disease and may also be used to prevent infections. Interferon-gamma may also help reduce the number of severe infections. Surgery may be needed to treat some abscesses.
The only cure for chronic granulomatous disease is a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
Long-term antibiotic treatments may help to reduce infections, but early death is typically a result of repeated lung infections.
If you or your child have this condition and you suspect pneumonia or other infection, call your health care provider immediately.
Notify your health care provider if a lung, skin, or other infection does not respond to treatment.
Genetic counseling is recommended if you are planning to have children and have a family history of this disease. Advances in genetic screening and increasing use of chorionic villus sampling have made early recognition of CGD possible. However, the practice is not yet widespread or fully accepted. There are tests available for women to identify if you carry the disease.

Carshalton Athletic boss Tommy Williams lamented two disallowed goals during his side's 2-1 defeat against Wingate and Finchley on Tuesday night but says they don't mask a poor first-half performance.
"Tonight was an opportunity to take our momentum from Saturday's victory against Thurrock forward so defeat is disappointing," Williams said.
"Our performance in the first 45 minutes was poor but our response pleased me, but then we didn't get some luck to go with it."
Striker Nathaniel Pinney cut a two-goal deficit in half early in the second period but both he and Sol Pinnock had goals disallowed as the half wore on.
"I know referees have difficult jobs but the Pinney one was harsh. It seemed a fair clash as he ran through on goal, Nathaniel was simply stronger than his opponent," he explained.
"Sol's header from a corner was also not given and we weren't quite sure why on the bench."
The in-form Pinney is now suspended for the next three games but, although Williams said "he'll be a big miss", fellow striker Ola Sogbanmu is on his way back from injury and could be in the Carshalton squad this weekend.
"We wasted 45 minutes tonight but we cannot afford to be doing that anymore. The boys understand our future is in our own hands, regardless of what other teams do, and there are plenty of games left to play to secure it," he added.
Carshalton Athletic welcome Leiston to Colston Avenue on Saturday.

Last Sunday I was feeling a bit creative so I decided to stuff a pork loin. I started by cutting it twice.
But what to stuff it with? How about some basil, oregano, and shredded mozzarella cheese with a little olive oil drizzled over the top. A little tomato sauce and it would've been a pork-crust pizza!
Then I rolled it, tied it, and rubbed it with some more oil.
I decided to sear it on 2 sides and then let it cook indirect until the meat in the very center reached 140.
Some of the cheese did leak out but enough stayed put. The meat was nice and juicy and the flavor of the herbs really came through.
I was really happy with how it turned out and it seemed like it was even better when I reheated some the next day, because a little more fat came out.

A9 TV, July 12th, 2012
It cannot be done with hatred. Only with love and affection. Otherwise there is no meaning to life. Why live without love? The reason why we come into this world is for the test and to serve Allah. And what is the most important thing and fundamental basis in serving Allah? Love. Always love. Allah wants to be loved. Paradise is the abode of love. Birds, for example, love human beings. They come and behave in a cute manner and try to make us love them. They behave really cute. They complement us. The horses of paradise make great complements. They show love and are very polite and respectful. Just like humans, they are intelligent. All the animals and people of paradise know all about politeness and love. They are always very respectful and say, "Greetings to you." That is a feature of paradise, insha'Allah. The concubines, for example, strive all day to make themselves loved. Little meat balls run around here and there. The young male servants in paradise are like that, too. They want to look nice and attractive and noble and to be liked. It is the same with the houris (maidens). Everything is based on love. Believers love one another. They converse in the gardens. They praise Rasulullah (saas) in all they see. Rasululllah (saas) takes part in every conversation. Rasulullah (saas) will have millions of bodies. Rasulullah (saas) will be everywhere, and at every table.
"Alhamdulillah", "masha'Allah", "insha'Allah". There is a secret hidden in them. There is a concealed secret that affects the world and matter. The more these are repeated, the more the whole system turns toward the reign of Islam. That is how Allah has created it. Those two words are a sensitive measure of the world and matter. Then things will always move in that direction. For example, the words "masha'Allah" and "insha'Allah" are always on the lips of the followers of Jesus the Messiah. Hazrat Hidhir also frequently uses "insha'Allah" and "masha'Allah". And these three always rule the world.
Mr. Adnan Oktar comments on verses from Surat al-Ahzab:
Verse 9. "You who have faith," says Almighty Allah. "remember Allah's blessing to you." It is obligatory to reflect on all kinds of blessings. ",,,when forces came against you and We sent a wind against them and other forces you could not see. Allah sees what you do." (Surat al-Ahzab, 9) "forces you could not see," that means there is a visible army, and a covert one, invisible.
"When they came at you from above you and below you, when your eyes rolled and your hearts rose to your throats, and you thought unworthy thoughts about Allah,"
(Surat al-Ahzab, 10)
People may sometimes be awfully troubled and in a difficult position. Allah notes this. "Your eyes rolled," He says. The Qur'an particularly concentrates on irregularities of the eye. When people stray from the truth their eyes assume an abnormal appearance. Allah notes the eye as a defining characteristic in the Qur'an. For example, "...your eyes rolled," He says, "...and your hearts rose to your throats" an intense state of fear. "...and you thought unworthy thoughts about Allah." This means that, may Allah forbid, people may sometimes behave ungratefully toward Allah when they face difficulties in the test.
...at that point the faithful were tested and severely shaken. (Surat al-Ahzab, 11)
Look, "they were tested." The faithful are tested. What kind of shock? A very powerful one. This means there may be a series of shocks, but Allah suddenly produces a really powerful one.
"When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said," all right, we have the hypocrites, and also those with sickness in their hearts. They are not complete hypocrites, but have a tendency toward it. 'What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.' (Surat al-Ahzab, 12)
For example, I say that Islam will reign over the world. There are hadiths of our prophet (saas) about that. There is the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). And of Jesus the Messiah (pbuh). I say there will be Islamic Unity. And what do they say? "No. This is a hollow fabrication." "What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion," they say. What does Allah say in the verse? "When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, 'What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion'."
And they are still saying that now. "...and a group of them said, 'People of Yathrib'," the people living there, "Your position is untenable, so return'!" Give up, in other words. Do not strive for Islamic Unity. Do not strive for the reign of Islam. "...some of them asked the Prophet to excuse them, saying, 'Our houses are exposed'," you go without us, in other words. "You go and take care of your family. Why strive for Islamic Unity? Why strive to spread Islam? Go and spend time with your family and parents. Stop working." "'Our houses are exposed,' when they were not exposed; it was merely that they wanted to run away."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 13) They do not want to serve the religion of Allah.
"If they had been overrun from every side," if they were surrounded on all sides by disbelief and arrogance, "...and had then been asked to revert to disbelief," in other words, if they had felt the full force of disbelief, if they believed that Muslims had lost all their strength, and if they had been asked to spread corruption, to act against Islam and in a manner opposed to Islamic moral values, "...they would have done so and hesitated very little about it."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 14) Most people are like that. When you mention this, you see they have a great desire to get on well with it. You see that in many Muslims. But when there is service and behavior befitting a Muslim going on, they stop, and lose all energy and the power of speech. They lose their enthusiasm. But when they have a chance regarding disbelief, if there are no Muslims around and they believe that Muslims are in a weakened state, then they display an amazing disbelieving-type character and behavior. As if any decent person had ever come from disbelief. You would be amazed. One sometimes sees people who are Muslims turning toward disbelief. They become an exact copy of it. The same language, way of speaking, behavior, annoying habits, awkwardness and general unpleasantness. They exhibit this great ability. That is what Allah is pointing to. Look, "...they would have done so and hesitated very little about it." Allah says they would have no compunctions, but they put up all kinds of obstacles when it comes to serving Islam. "My mother will not let me, my father will not let me, my school will not let me, the neighborhood will not let me." But when it comes to disbelief, or immorality, or huge pride, then they heed neither mother nor father nor anyone else. Isn't that right? They exhibit the most amazing courage then. They do the craziest things and feel no compunctions at all. They exhibit a devilish ability then.
"Yet they had previously made a contract with Allah that they would never turn their backs." They have promised never to turn their backs on Islam and the Qur'an. "Contracts made with Allah will be asked about." (Surat al-Ahzab, 15). A verse pointing to this test.
"Say: 'Flight will not benefit you if you try to run away from death" if you try to avoid death. "...or being killed. Then you will only enjoy a short respite." (Surat al-Ahzab, 16) In other words, Allah will still take your soul in some way. The hypocrites strive with all their might to obstruct Muslims' activities, but they imagine they will live for a very long time, and that Muslims will be killed and die. They tell Muslims, "You will soon be killed. They will kill you. Your time is up, but we are strong and we are warning you." Then you look and see it is all exactly the opposite. That is what Almighty Allah is indicating. Allah says He will still kill them.
"Say: 'Who is going to shield you from Allah if He desires evil for you or desires mercy for you?' They will find no one to protect or help them besides Allah."
Allah afflicts troubles on the hypocrites when He wishes. They cannot prevent it, not even if they are in large numbers. No matter what they do. So can they prevent the coming of the Mahdi (pbuh)? Look, Almighty Allah says, "Who is going to shield you from Allah if He desires evil for you or desires mercy for you?" That is not possible, either. Can they prevent the coming of Jesus the Messiah? No. Can they prevent Islamic Unity? No. Why not? Because we have Allah's promise. "They will find no one to protect or help them besides Allah."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 17) "They will not have the strength," Allah is saying.
"Allah knows the obstructers among you and those who say to their brothers, 'Come to us,' and who only come to fight a very little." (Surat al-Ahzab, 18) They obstruct people who want to enter a group of Muslims and assist the Mahdi (pbuh) and Islamic Unity. "You had better not go there, you will end up in trouble. That will be the end of your youth and life. You will lose your school and occupation ," they say. "...those who say to their brothers, 'Come to us'." To filth, arrogance, disbelief, soullessness and lovelessness. "...who only come to fight a very little." In other words, they do not come to a difficult fight but they may if the job is easy and will not take long and if it is their own interests. But if there is no advantage for them, if the struggle is long-term and if they will be made uncomfortable, then Allah says they stay away.
Even if you really insist and they do come, "...[they] are begrudging towards you. (when they come).' Allah says they are selfish. Parsimonious, looking out for their own interests. But they do not want to serve. They are parsimonious with their service, money and love, and their friendship and compliments. They do not like to give anything. They want to do nothing that will make Muslims happy or win the approval of the Muslim in front of them. They are selfish in that, too. They do not want to do anything. That is why such types never speak. They show no love or kindness, because they regard that as giving. They even regard good manners as giving something away, so they do not bother. They avoid giving a pleasant look or speaking a pleasant word or good behavior. They are selfish. They only want things to be given to them. They want Muslims to give to them, but not to give to Muslims. "Then when fear comes" something for them to be afraid of, like an attack against Muslims, or slander and defamation, or something involving the police, or some legal problem or something else. "Then when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their eyes rolling like people scared to death." Look, another problem of facial expression, do you see? The Qur'an refers to that many times. Allah says He uses the defects in their expressions as a sign. What kind of facial appearance? Their eyes roll, they look ready to faint, they look like dead people. Like animals, like dead animals. A meaningless, empty, devastated appearance. A hollow, moldy look. They do not look human. What do people who are "...scared to death" look like? They have unaware expressions. Meaningless and lacking in concentration. "But when fear departs," when the attack has evaporated, "...they flay you with sharp tongues." They insult people and gossip and say unpleasant things. They speak meaningless words and defame people. "Such people have no faith;" No matter how much they may say believe, Allah says that in His eyes, they do not. Which is true? What Allah says is true. Someone can say that he believes all he likes but Allah says it is no good if you do not really believe.
"Allah will make their actions come to nothing. That is easy for Allah." (Surat al-Ahzab, 19) Do they not do things? They do. They even pray and fast, and let their beards grow down their waists and brush their teeth with the miswak and wear their robes, but Allah says, "Allah will make their actions come to nothing." They think they are doing something, but it is all for naught.
"They think that the Confederates [hypocrites] have not departed," they imagine the attack on Muslims is continuing. "...and if the Confederates did appear," attacks of all kinds on Muslims by disbelievers, "...then they would wish they were out in the desert with the Arabs, asking for news of you." Taking their leave of Muslims, in other words. They regard being with Muslims as dangerous. They try to obtain information by infiltrating the Bedouin Arabs, ignorant people with nothing to do with religion. "If they were with you they would only fight a very little" (Surat al-Ahzab, 20) says Allah. In other words, Allah is saying do not strive for them to come as they will just mean trouble. It is better for you if they go, He says.
"You have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah, for all who put their hope in Allah and the Last Day and remember Allah much."
For sincere Muslims, for Muslims who remember Allah much. (Surat al-Ahzab, 21) Look at the life of Rasulullah (saas). His courage, loyalty, determination, fortitude, joy, fervor, conception of love, manners and pleasantness will be a role model for you, says Almighty Allah.
"When the faithful saw the Confederates they said:" when they saw the attack by the disbelievers, of the irreligious and atheists, of the ignorant or of the bigots. "This is what Allah and His Messenger promised us.", because the disbelievers will be very active. "Allah and His Messenger told us the truth." We look at the hadiths and they say the same. "It only increased them in piety and in submission." (Surat al-Ahzab, 22) They become even more fervent and enthusiastic. For example, the more they attack Muslims, the more fervent Muslims become. The more the Darwinists and materialists attack them, the more fervent they become. Muslims grow in fervor because they see a promised reality, a miracle.
"But those of you who are obedient to Allah and His Messenger and act rightly" Now, obedience is something else. It requires love to exist. Allah is not speaking of good deeds, but of righteous actions, sincere actions. Sincerity is one of the greatest blessings in the world. Faith, sincerity, intelligence. "...will be given their reward twice over; and We have prepared generous provision for them."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 31) Who says this? Almighty Allah says it of the wives of the prophets.
"Wives of the Prophet! you are not like other women provided you have piety." In other words, other Muslim women are in a more relaxed position than you. They are more at ease in all areas, but you are special because you are the wives of the Prophet. Your position is a very different one, Allah says. A very important pronouncement. Other women can be more relaxed. "Do not be too soft-spoken in your speech lest someone with sickness in his heart becomes desirous. Speak correct and courteous words."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 32) They speak in a serious, controlled and correct manner.
"Remain in your houses," Who does this apply to? To the wives of the Prophet. Does it apply to other women? No. Allah deliberately sets them apart. Other women can leave their homes and act in a more relaxed manner. "...and do not display your beauty as it was previously displayed in the Time of Ignorance," They must cover their breasts, that is a ruling applying to all Muslims. Every Muslim women must cover her chest. "Establish salat (prayer) and pay zakat (alms) and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah desires to remove all impurity from you, People of the House, and to purify you completely."
(Surat al-Ahzab, 33) In those days women wandered about with their chests totally uncovered. Almighty Allah tells women to cover themselves up. Almighty Allah makes it a sin for them to bare their breasts.
Turkey's basic policy is one of love and friendship toward Russia, and it continues to be its basic policy. We have no enmity toward Russia. We love the Russian people and nation. But our Foreign Minister should make a statement; he needs to emphasize that we regard Russia as a friend, as a brother, that we act out of a unifying spirit of togetherness with Russia, and that this is what the precautionary measure to be taken means.

In Search of the Novel:Teacher-TalkNovel

I always read aloud to my students. I have taught students
in grades 4-12. Our "read aloud" book gives the class a reference from
which to introduce mini lessons. For example, The Wish Giver by Bill
Brittain, is an excellent book to introduce students to the skill of making
predictions. If the journal entries for a particular month are to include
predictions about the books students are reading, then it makes sense to
have a "common" book we can all discuss. We have mini lessons on making
inferences, drawing conclusions, foreshadowing...and I highlight these
skills during our classroom discussions about the current read aloud.

I love your idea of combining novel reading with
relevant research. I
believe that any time a student can make a
connection between what they
have read and their world, learning definitely takes
During the discussion groups, will the students come
up with their own
discussion topics or do you give them the discussion
ideas? Do they get
points for their contribution to the discussion
session? Also, with the
research project, do the students have to make
reference to the novel at
all in their paper?
