HUNDREDS of paddling enthusiasts and spectators turned out once again for Worcester's annual dragon boat race.
28 teams, made up of mostly amateur paddlers, took part in 41 races throughout the event, now in its 24th year.
The Worcester News also entered a team into this year's event, represented by team Press Gang.
The dragon boat race is in aid of charity, with each team paying an admission fee and Worcester Dragon Racing Boat Racing Club matching the admission fee, as well as donations from each team for their chosen charities.
St Richard's Hospice and Asiatic Moon Bears were among the benefactors of the event.
Craig Cliff, race coordinator and membership secretary of Worcester Dragon Boat Racing Club, said: "We expect that around 1,500 people took part in and watched, which is absolutely great.
"Last year we had 22 teams, and this year we have 28, so it's getting bigger and better.
"It helps when the sun is out and it's a nice day in parts like it was today, it's great fun for everyone.
"Around 20 different charities are being supported today, and that's the main thing, and with this many people we should be raising a lot of money for them all."
The races were over a distance of around 350 metres, starting down stream from Worcester Rowing Club's centre, and finishing level with the club's premises.
There were plenty of prizes on offer too, including the Lea and Perrins Cup for the grand final winner and the Helen Cleaver Award- a rather special award in memory of Helen who passed away in 2012 after a battle with cancer, with the crew who showed the strongest team spirit throughout the day being named the winner.
There were also awards for the best scratch crew and competitors slugged it out for the Steve Yau silver platter.
The event went ahead on Sunday, June 8, with races partaken from 10am until 5pm.

My Aunt Pauline used to bake this traditional Jewish cake for special occasions. It's commonly served at the meal following Yom Kippur or Shavuot, two holidays in the fall, and on Sabbath afternoons. My son adores it, so I bake it for special breakfasts and tea. You can add 1 1/4 cups of apple or pear slices or blueberries to the middle with the streusel for extra flavor.–Nina Simonds
Special Equipment: 9-inch Bundt or tube pan or a 9-inch springform pan
Cinnamon Streusel Sour Cream Coffee Cake Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 10 to 12
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the cake pan
- For the streusel topping
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon-size pieces
- For the coffee cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream or whole-milk plain yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350° (175°C). Butter a 9-inch Bundt or tube pan or a 9-inch springform pan.
- 2. To make the Streusel Topping, mix together the brown and white sugars, flour, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a knife or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- 3. Sift or mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a hand-held electric mixer or by machine, beat the 1/2 cup butter and the sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Break in the eggs and beat lightly for another minute. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and milk and beat until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture and beat evenly.
- 4. Pour a little less than half of the batter into the Bundt pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle in half of the streusel. Add the remaining batter, covering the streusel, and sprinkle the top with the remaining streusel.
- 5. Bake the cake on the middle shelf of the oven for about 45 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester or a knife comes out clean. Set on a rack and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Invert onto a dinner plate and serve warm or at room temperature.

An ear, nose and throat specialist (ENT) is a physician trained in the medical and surgical treatment of the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck. They have special expertise in managing diseases of the ear, nose and nasal passage, sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity and upper pharynx (mouth and throat), as well as structures of the neck and face. ENT is the oldest medical specialty in the United States.
The unique area of the ear, nose and throat specialist is treatment of ear disorders. This includes medical and surgical treatment for hearing disorders, ear infection, balance disorders, facial nerve or cranial nerve disorders, as well as management of congenital (birth) and cancerous disorders of the outer and inner ear.
Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of the ENT specialist. Management of disorders of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, allergies, sense of smell, and nasal respiration, as well as the outer appearance of the nose are part of an ENT's area of expertise.
Also specific to the ENT specialty is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aerodigestive tract or esophagus, including disorders of the voice, respiration (breathing), and swallowing.
In the head and neck area, an ENT specialist is trained to treat infectious diseases, tumors (both benign and malignant/cancerous), facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
An ENT specialist may work with a team of doctors in other medical and surgical specialties. Common ground is shared with neurosurgery in treating skull base disorders; plastic surgery in correcting cosmetic and traumatic deformities; ophthalmology in treating structural problems near the eye; oral surgery in treating jaw and dental trauma; allergy in managing sinus disease; dermatology in caring for skin cancers; oncology in managing head and neck cancers; and pediatrics and family practice in caring for common infectious, congenital, traumatic, and malignant (cancerous) diseases and disorders in the pediatric and general population.
An ENT specialist is ready to start practicing after as much as 15 years of college and post-graduate training. To qualify for certification from the American Board of Otolaryngology, an applicant must first complete college, medical school (usually four years), and at least five years of specialty training. Next, the physician must pass the American Board of Otolaryngology examination to be certified. Some ENT specialists pursue a one-or two-year fellowship for more extensive training in one of the seven subspecialty areas. These include pediatric otolaryngology (children), otology/neurotology (ears and balance), allergy, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, laryngology (throat) and rhinology (nose). Some ENT specialists limit their practices to one of these seven areas.
The well-trained ENT specialist has a thorough knowledge of all of the organs and physical structures in the head and neck region. Virtually all ear, nose, and throat specialists routinely handle adenoidectomies (surgical removal of the adenoid glands), tonsillectomies (removal of the tonsils), nosebleeds, earaches, hearing loss, dizziness, hoarseness, and sinus disease. The type of practice that an ENT specialist decides to pursue is based largely on his/her qualifications and attitudes, as well as the community's needs. The broad challenges of the specialty allow a choice of direction, in addition to providing the best in patient care.
Medical and surgical treatment of diseases of the ear, including traumatic and cancerous disorders of the external, middle, and inner ear, as well as the nerve pathways which affect hearing and balance.
Medical and surgical treatment of diseases of the ears, nose, and throat in children.
Medical and surgical treatment of cancerous (and noncancerous tumors in the head and neck including thyroid and parathyroid (located close to the thyroid gland) surgery.
Treatment of cosmetic, functional and reconstructive abnormalities of the face and neck.
Medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the nose and sinuses.
Medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the throat, including the voice.
Medical treatment of inhalant allergies affecting the upper respiratory system.

The World Meteorological Organisation set the stage for the climate talks in Doha when it flagged last week the alarming rise in the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Concentrations of the three main gases - carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide - rose in the year 2011 to their highest levels ever recorded.
Carbon dioxide, which is responsible for about 80 per cent of the global warming effect of the GHGs, increased to 390.9 parts per million molecules of air. The methane concentration went up to 1,813 parts per billion molecules of air, while the nitrous oxide concentration was 324.2 parts per billion, according to the latest data from the United Nations body. "These billions of tonnes of additional carbon dioxide in our atmosphere will remain there for centuries, causing our planet to warm further and impacting on all aspects of life on earth," WMO secretary general Michel Jarraud said.
The International Energy Agency had already warned that the rising concentrations of the three gases threaten to render impossible the UN goal of containing the temperature increases to two degrees Celsius, compared with pre-industrial era levels. The United Nations Environment Programme echoed that view.
Q4 2012 Wind market outlook
Financing and project development have slowed in the second half of this year. The industry is now in the middle of a very difficult period but on the plus side, dramatic cost cutting and restructuring measures are being implemented and market conditions may start to improve.
There was a sense of déjà vu meanwhile as countries reiterated their negotiating positions ahead of the beginning of the Doha talks on 26 November.
China, India, South Africa and Brazil - the so-called Basic bloc - indicated that the distinction between developed and developing countries has to continue, when they ruled out a "new regime".
At the last climate negotiations in Durban last year, it was decided to hammer out a new deal by 2015 that would enter into force in 2020. "The Durban platform is by no means a process to negotiate a new regime, nor to renegotiate, rewrite or reinterpret the convention, and its principles and provisions," the countries said, potentially threatening confrontation with the US.
The latter wants to eliminate the "firewall" between developed and developing countries, which assigns binding emission targets to the former while leaving large emitters like India and China out of the net.
Brazilian environment envoy Andre Correa do Lago reiterated on Monday that the so-called CBDR principle - common but differentiated responsibility - which recognises the difference in commitments of developed and developing countries - was "here to stay".
Last week, he said the original idea was that the developed nations would take the lead in cutting emissions, and provide resources to the developing nations. "This is not happening," he lamented.
The developed countries committed to provide $US30 billion of fast-start finance to developing countries to help them reduce emissions.
The European Union, US, Japan and other developed countries paid out $US23.6 billion during the three years through 2012, according to the International Institute for Environment and Development. "The process of fast-start finance was supposed to build trust, but it created more tension, and frustration that what was proposed was not delivered," said Seyni Nafo, a Malian envoy who speaks for a bloc of African nations.
The corporate sector called for lawmakers worldwide to put a "clear" price on carbon emissions to contain global warning.
"Effective carbon pricing offers the potential to mobilise carbon finance at a scale that can impact the climate challenge," said a letter coordinated by Prince Charles's Corporate Leaders Group on Climate Change. This has more than 100 companies as members, including Royal Dutch Shell, Electricite de France, Alstom, Acciona and Aviva.
Renewable activities
While the big picture was evolving at Doha, there were encouraging reports from climate-friendly renewable energy projects in different parts of the world, including from developing countries. China said that electricity generated from clean energy rose 48 per cent in October from a year ago. The world's most populous country includes generation from nuclear and large hydro plants in its clean energy numbers. Power from wind farms surged 40 per cent last month, compared with the same period last year. China currently has the largest wind generation capacity in the world.
Australia's AGL Energy said it expects its $1 billion Macarthur Wind Farm to be fully operational by February.
The 420MW project in Victoria is being built in partnership with Meridian Energy.
Czech utility CEZ completed its 600 megawatt Fantanele-Cogealac wind project in Romania - the largest in Europe.
The country's generous green certificate system has attracted large foreign utilities, like CEZ, Iberdrola and Enel Green Power, as well as local developers and private equity investors.
A consortium led by Brightsource Energy and Alstom won a tender to develop a 121 megawatt solar thermal plant in Israel.
Areva signed an agreement with the Scottish government to build a factory there to manufacture wind turbines for offshore projects. The European Investment Bank said it would lend $US1 billion to the Aquitaine region of southwest France to increase the energy efficiency of schools and businesses.
In Mexico, Enel Green Power won a tender to build a 102MW wind farm. The company has the right to sell energy from the $US130 million project to the state utility under a 20-year contract.
In the same country, local developer Maremotrices de Energias Renovables plans to start building 30MW of wave energy projects in February and sell power at a price which is 20 per cent lower than that bought from the state utility.
In the UK, Good Energy group created some buzz last week when it announced plans to offer electricity price discounts to households near its wind farms.
The week in carbon
EU carbon up on hopes of backloading vote in December
European carbon allowances, or EUAs, climbed 1.6 per cent last week on speculation that a vote on plans to curb supply will take place before the end of the year. EUAs for December 2012 closed on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange at EUR 7.01/t, compared with EUR 6.90/t at the end of the previous week.
They had a bearish start to the week, falling to EUR 6.45/t on Tuesday afternoon, on anticipation of a record weekly auction volume of 21Mt.
High demand at EU and German auctions that day, and the UK's first Phase III auction on Wednesday, bolstered prices. EUAs jumped above EUR 7.00/t on Friday after the German environment minister indicated that a date was potentially agreed for the backloading vote in the Climate Change Committee – though economy minister Philipp Roesler said Germany may abstain, putting the vote at risk.
Representatives of EU nations failed to reach a breakthrough at a 15 November meeting on the proposal to delay auctions of 900m carbon permits starting in 2013. United Nations Certified Emission Reduction credits fell 1.2 per cent last week to close at EUR 0.81/t.

It is relatively easy to measure the effects of heat stress on milk production and reproduction in lactating cows, but have you ever wondered what cooling can do for your dry cows?
In the May 2012 California Dairy Newsletter, Jed Asmus, nutritionist with Etchebarne Inc., and Jennifer Heguy with the University of California Cooperative Extension, explain findings of a recent scientific study that illustrates the value of cooling dry cows.
The study found that non-cooled dry cows produced 15 percent less milk, or 11 pounds less milk each day after calving up to 40 weeks in milk.
At $16 per hundredweight, a 500-plus cow dairy stands to lose upward of $285,000 in lost milk during the first 280 days of lactation when dry cows are not cooled.

The prolific Cohn Restaurant Group, which in recent years has ventured into communities not typically known as dining destinations, is moving into yet another underserved area: Imperial Beach.
Construction is getting underway this week on SEA 180, a beachfront restaurant that will be part of a long-planned Imperial Beach hotel expected to open Nov. 1.
The latest Cohn project, being developed in partnership with restaurateur and hospitality consultant Ken Irvine, will include a banquet facility and outdoor patio just steps from the sand.
While the 78-room Pier South hotel has faced a number of delays and at one point was expected to open last summer, the $28 million project is on track to debut by the fall, according to the hotel developer, San Diego-based Pacifica Companies
His latest restaurant endeavor, said restaurateur David Cohn, is in keeping with his company's pursuit of areas that he believes are in need of more diverse dining options. That was the business strategy when he opened 333 Pacific in Oceanside and more recently Vintana in the upper level of the Lexus dealership in Escondido.
The added advantage of SEA 180 are the ocean views, he said.
"I don't know of any location in San Diego like this that's on the sand," said Cohn, whose company currently operated 15 restaurants in the county. "There's only so much sand and so much beachfront, so this really is a unique opportunity.
"If you're in the South Bay and you want to go out to dinner, what do you do if you want to try something new? We think there are more than enough potential guests within a five-mile radius to support a relatively small restaurant. That's what we found in Oceanside and Escondido."
The restaurant, which takes its name from the sweeping coastline vista, will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and provide room service for hotel guests. Designed to be a "coastal tavern" with a casual vibe, the restaurant's interior décor, Irvine acknowledged, will be secondary to the dramatic ocean views visible from nearly every seat in the restaurant through floor-to-ceiling windows.
"The canvas for the hotel is that gorgeous view," said Irvine, whose title will be executive chef and managing partner. "The main entrance to the restaurant is through the lobby of the hotel, so when you walk into the dining room, there's a bar off to the right toward the water and an open kitchen to your left, and the restaurant faces out to the west. We want to downscale the typical hotel scheme. We want it to be affordable and accessible."
Owner of the Bleu Boheme restaurant in Kensington, Irvine will oversee the restaurant's dining program, which he says will focus on Baja-Med-inspired cuisine.
That means plenty of locally caught fish prepared with a Latin, French or Italian twist, Irvine said. Potential dishes include a goat cheese Tamale with shiitake port wine sauce and smoked rock cod chowder with roasted fennel, bacon and fingerling potatoes. The wine list will also be heavy on selections from the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California.
Dinner entrees will be priced under $30, Cohn said, although there will be a number of shared plates on the menu that will be considerably less than that.
Cohn, whose restaurant group is leasing the restaurant space from the hotel developer, said Pacifica is investing more than a million dollars on developing the restaurant space, and his company is spending an additional $250,000 on the project. Pacifica, which also owns the La Valencia hotel in La Jolla, was drawn to the Cohn Restaurant Group because of its vast experience in dining projects.
"We wanted to make sure every aspect of the hotel would be successful, so we reached out to the most successful restaurant operator in San Diego County to operate the restaurant and bar," said Len Howell, vice president of hospitality acquisition for Pacifica.

Bishop's 13, La Jolla 5
Hannah Carrillo came into this season after leading Bishop's in scoring during last year's San Diego Section Division III final. Classmate Madison Kafka Asper stepped into a starting role at goalkeeper for the first time.
The two stellar sophomores ended up playing key roles in the Knights securing their third straight championship on Saturday as Bishop's topped La Jolla 13-5 in the third consecutive final between the schools at the Vikings' Coggan Pool.
Carrillo scored four goals, matching her team high from last year's final. Late in the second quarter, she triggered a 5-1 surge that enabled the top-seeded Knights (27-4) to build an 8-3 edge with a steal and assist for one goal and then another score on a long-range shot.
"We started a little nervous, honestly," Carrillo said. "I just kept playing through it. That's the only way. On the season, the key's been that we love each other so much. We're practically sisters."
Kafka Asper made nine saves, including five in the first half while facing the greatest challenge from No. 2 La Jolla (23-10).
"I'm just so happy," Kafka Asper said. "At the beginning of the season, I didn't feel ready at all, but our coaches helped me so much, and I improved a lot."
Jessica Webster, bound for Stanford, had three goals and four assists for the Knights, who won a section-record 10th title overall.

Harun Yahya TV, 28 August 2010
Our brothers who espouse the idea of Wahdat al-Wujud are seriously mistaken. They say; "Allah was alone" (Surely Allah is beyond their claims); that is a very wrong expression. They then say, "Allah got bored. He looked at the mirror of nothingness and saw Himself." Allah is beyond their claims, they say, "He was subject to time." Allah created time. He created it for us, His poor servants. Time is a belief resulting from comparison and was created for human beings. Allah is unfettered by time and space. Within the infinitely short time; infinitely short time. Not one billionth of a second, not one quadrillionth of a second, not quadrillion times quadrillionth of a second. He created infinite eternity and infinite precedence in infinitely short time and finished it.
Among people there is one who argues about Allah without knowledge, and follows every rebellious satan. (Surat al-Hajj, 3)
Hypocrites are very rebellious and untrustworthy. They are two-faced by nature. Someone with a good knowledge of the Qur'an and of its profound details will not be a target for satan or the hypocrite.
It was only satan frightening you through his friends. But do not fear them – fear Me if you are believers. (Surat al-'Imran, 175)
He frightens them if they are not strong or psychologically weak, but the hypocrite does not appear alone. He lines the whole of unbelievers up behind him. They act as a group, a group from which they draw their strength.
He said, 'By Your misguidance of me, I will lie in ambush for them on your straight path. Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them thankful.' (Surat al-A'raf, 16-17)
Satan foolishly accuses Allah, may He forbid, but he is himself lacking in character. He lays an ambush because he is treacherous. He squats on the true path, in other words, he speaks of halting the followers of our Prophet (saas) or of Hazrat Mahdi (as). He says he will fight the moral values of the Qur'an. He says he will block the path of those who struggle. The hypocrite approaches over the internet, by sending in reports, and tries to draw close. The believer must be on his guard. The hypocrite may appear from where he is least expected.
Mankind! Allah's promise is true. Do not let the life of the dunya delude you and do not let the Deluder delude you about Allah. Shaytan is your enemy so treat him as an enemy. He summons his party so they will be among the people of the Searing Blaze. (Surah Fatir, 5-6)
Allah's promise is that "Islam will rule the world" and that Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as) will come.
Another figurative allusion in this verse is to the appearance of the movement of the Mahdi and Turkish-Islamic Union.
Worldly concerns and worries for the future must not deceive you, and this is the weapon used by the deceivers, the hypocrites in other words, satan, hypocrites; they try to deceive by using the name of Allah, and they imagine they do so. But the believer regards them as his enemies, and this is a religious observance. It is a religious observance for the believer to take the hypocrite as his intellectual enemy and to wage a constant intellectual struggle. Satan just invites his own gang, the hypocrites, to Hell.
Those of you who turned their backs on the day the two armies clashed – it was satan who made them slip for what they had done… (Surat Al-'Imran, 155)
The day the two communities met; figuratively, the day in our century when the forces of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the dajjal meet.
Those who turn back will be the weak ones.
Satan and the hypocrites seek to mislead Muslims by way of various promises, and that is his job.
In doing this, the hypocrite appears to adopt a protective stance. "So-and-so is your enemy, so watch out" he says. "Watch what you eat. How is your health?"
They will call out to them, 'Were we not with you?'They will reply, 'Indeed you were. But you made trouble for yourselves and hung back and and doubted and false hopes deluded you until Allah's command arrived. The Deluder deluded you about Allah. (Surat al-Hadid, 14)
You cast yourselves into corruption; you have turned to hypocrisy, to corruption.
They wait for Muslims to be divided, arrested, fall sick and fall apart; they wait for them to collapse economically.
The hypocrite is in a constant state of doubt; regarding Allah's Messenger (saas), Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet (saas). He in any case doubts all things, himself, and even Allah, may He forbid.
He is always worried, and because he has a schizophrenic character his brain is never balanced and he always chases after corruption.
.. ."The Deluder has deluded you about Allah" (using His name, or by appearing to be totally innocent: he gives the impression of being well-behaved, but devils are constantly stirring within him.
I will lead them astray and fill them with false hopes... (Surat an-Nisa', 119)
The hypocrite's job is to lead people astray and perplex them. He wants to instill doubts in people's hearts as this is the only way of making them resemble him.
He makes promises to them and fills them with false hopes. But what satan promises them is nothing but delusion. (Surat an-Nisa', 120)
He promises only deception, his promises are not true.
When the hypocrites and people with sickness in their hearts said, 'What Allah and His Messenger promised us was mere delusion.' (Surat al-Ahzab, 12)
In the figurative sense and looking at this century they say that Allah and His imam, the Mahdi, made false promises. They spoke of the prevalence of Islam, Turkish-Islamic Union and the destruction of Darwinism. No, they say, these are false. But irreligion will rule, Darwinism and materialism will not be annihilated and Muslims are wasting their energy and means on pointless endeavors, they will say.
... Satan has made their actions seem good to them and debarred them from the Way so they are not guided. (Surat an-Naml, 24)
Hypocrites give the impression of being very attractive. They imagine they behave correctly. They use flowery language, and people who are heedless listen to them. They imagine they are very successful.
.... However, their hearts were hard and satan made what they were doing seem attractive to them. (Surat al-An'am, 43)
They think they are acting very properly. They encourage one another, saying, "well done, you are behaving really well."
And also for those who spend their wealth to show off to people, not having belief in Allah and the Last Day. Anyone who has made satan his comrade, what an evil comrade he is! (Surat an-Nisa', 48)
The hypocrite suffers greatly when he gives possessions away, and regrets having done so. He gives away very little, and that only for show, but it really pains him to give anything away at all.
This is a sickness of those who do not believe in Allah and the Hereafter. A person that satan or a hypocrite adopts as a friend is a very bad person. The hypocrite always wants to be friends, and says, "Be my friend, come and join us."
Kocaeli TV, 28 August 2010
A movement without a cause inevitably loses. Every movement without a cause or a principle loses. The PKK has an ideal. And what is it up against? Silence. Silence means losing, may Allah forbid. The force to oppose the PKK is Turkish-Islamic Union. Turkish-Islamic Union is a huge ideal. There has to be a force opposed to the PKK. If there is an ideal, albeit a superstitious one, it motivates people. It excites them. Albeit superstitious, it encourages the struggle. That is what makes them go off into the mountains. But we have our own true cause to oppose it. But it has to be an official state policy. It must be an explicit state policy, not a secret one. There has to be a great union, the whole Turkish and Islamic world must unite under Turkish leadership.
Counter propaganda is very important, and we have to concentrate on that. There needs to be an official anti-materialist, anti-communist, anti-Leninist and anti-Darwinist policy. They PKK sets out its position day and night, and the other side cannot just remain silent.
If a stone starts rolling down a mountain, it will keep going until it encounters an obstacle, and if that obstacle is made of steel, the stone will shatter. That steel is Turkish-Islamic Union, Islamic Union.
Various religious teachers appear on the television and talk about various matters. But there is one main topic they never discuss. Salvation is the fundamental issue. One must not discuss matters like how to enter the house or what to heed when praying without checking whether the other person genuinely believes and without striving to be instrumental in his salvation. Bediuzzaman also emphasizes this matter. He said the most vital matter is to save a person's faith. He said one must discuss the signs leading to faith. He says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will do that. He says he will describe the signs leading to faith and will make sure Muslims are well-balanced and prevent them sliding toward disbelief.
Religion is profound intelligence. He who knows Allah knows the greatest truth, and the greatest secrets, secrets of Allah. This requires profound reflection, intelligence and faith. But they are superficial, like a machine reading a book, with a mechanical sound, like those devices that read text out loud. These people have no soul and no electricity that might be instrumental in faith. Indeed, the way they talk is more likely to put people off. They are unaware of the damage they do. When you talk about religion, you cannot use the kind of techniques they employ to make people cry in movies. What matters is whether you can direct them toward a profound conception of faith and save them from idols and Darwinism. Otherwise, people will listen and then go straight back to their normal lives.
The hypocrite will head for whichever Muslim is the weakest. The hypocrite will never approach someone who is very devout, loyal to the faith and devoted to Allah. Will a hyena approach someone holding a big stick? It looks and targets whoever is defenseless. The people satan regards as targets must be very careful and strengthen their faith and determination. The hypocrites did not approach Hazrat Ali (as= in the time of our Prophet (saas). They also knew the answers they would get from Hazrat Umar (as). They prefer people they regard as weak.
Satan has gained mastery over them and made them forget the remembrance of Allah. Such people are the party of satan. No indeed! It is the party of satan who are the losers. (Surat al-Mujadala, 19)
Satan becomes the hypocrite's whole identity.
When satan comes to the end of the road, he says, "I fear Allah." But if you fear Allah, why do you not tell people the truth and tell them to fear Him? Why do you not say, "Everyone must fear Allah."? He says this right at the end, when backed into a corner, because he has the character of a hypocrite.
When they meet those who believe, they say, 'We believe.' But then when they go apart with their satans, they say, 'We are really with you. We were only mocking.' (Surat al-Baqara, 14)
Hypocrites try to appear to be fearing Allah when they see believers. "Look," they say, "I have my skull cap and prayer beads with me, and am even a member of a mystic group." But they tell satan, "We are on your side." They foolishly imagine they are mocking Muslims. The hypocrite always speaks with a forked tongue, under the influence of satan.
He said, 'Iblis, what prevented you prostrating to what I created with My own Hands? Were you overcome by arrogance or are you one of the exalted?' He said, 'I am better than him. You created me from fire but You created him from clay.' (Surah Sad, 75-6)
The hypocrite regards himself as very superior. I am much more auspicious, he says. He regards himself as superior to the Prophet (saas) or Hazrat Mahdi (as), or even to Allah, may He forbid. And since he is very foolish, he tried to teach others and says what is in his foolish head, may Allah forbid. Satan and hypocrites really think they have the gift of the gab, but foolishly give themselves away.
When they are told, 'Do not cause corruption on the earth,' they say, 'We are only putting things right.' No indeed! They are the corrupters, but they are not aware of it. (Surat al-Baqara, 11-12)
When asked why they behave so immorally, they say, "there are errors here that I want to put right." "I am trying to improve matters," they say. As they are under satan's influence, they are completely unaware.
As for those who have set up a mosque, causing harm and out of disbelief, to create division between the believers, and in readiness for those who previously made war on Allah and His Messenger, they will swear, 'We only desired the best.' But Allah bears witness that they are truly liars. (Surat at-Tawba, 107)
Hypocrites are in any case in favor of the mosque. They always want to find a believer and enter that community. But their real community is themselves, when they meet up together.
They do not want Islam to spread, though they appear to do so. They want some Muslims to go away, but they approach those who suit them, and this is one of their main characteristics.
One of their characteristics is the way they fully support any activity opposed to Muslims. They do whatever the conditions of the time require; they issue false reports and collaborate with part of the press, with other hypocrites and with disbelievers. They adopt mosques in order to be seen. They develop a system whereby they appear to remember Allah, and when asked say their only intention is to do good.
It is bonds of blood that matter to hypocrites, not ties of faith.
Satanic thinking lies at the root of fascism, and of the PKK. The PKK is a hypocrite movement. It is obviously hostile to Allah, the religion and the Book. But from time to time it depicts itself as not being so.
The hypocrite relies on ties of blood, not on ties of faith. But the Muslim relies on ties of faith. They may share the same lineage, but if someone has no faith, he is not his brother.
The hypocrite writes his own book of satan. He rearranges the Qur'an as he thinks fit, may Allah forbid. He adds bits and takes bits away. He looks for things compatible with satan, and when he cannot find them in the Qur'an, he begins twisting his own tongue.
When satan made their actions appear good to them, saying, 'No one will overcome you today for I am at your side.' But when the two parties came in sight of one another, he turned right round on his heels saying, 'I wash my hands of you. I see what you do not see. I fear Allah. Allah is severe in retribution.' (Surat al-Anfal, 48)
In the eyes of his own foolish moral values, the hypocrite is enormously strong. He regards himself as so strong he can never be overcome. Under satan's prompting, he regards communists, atheists, Darwinists and all of them as his helpers and collaborates with them. And when their numbers are very high he thinks he is very strong.
If someone loves Allah, loves Him for His approval, then Allah creates a person for him to love. Allah does the best of all things.
Paying one's debts is an obligation of faith, a commandment of the Qur'an. Muslims are punctilious about their debts. It is different for people who really do lack the means, but one must not promise to repay and then not do so. If one says, "Forgive me, I cannot pay" he may be forgiven. But if he promises to pay, then he must do so.
Their weakness of faith lies at the root of their defeat. They overthrew the Ottoman Empire with Darwinism. We will rebuild the Ottoman Empire, as Turkish-Islamic Union, by demolishing Darwinism, insha'Allah.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III finished mostly higher Tuesday on a quiet, but stable, spot cheese market and perhaps a slight recognition of firmer outside markets. The reality is that we're beginning the five-week pricing period for July milk, and though the spot cheese price is at historically demand debilitating levels, traders find it difficult to sell into a steeply discounted market. On the other hand, the buy side seems exhausted and we suspect it will take more time at these spot prices — or another jolt of buy interest on the spot market — to spur a futures price rally. So, prices consolidate at these levels and we wait for more news.
We have mentioned before that you need to feed a bull market and, over the past few days, rations of "bull news" seem to be running low. There are anecdotal stories of better-than-expected demand at these levels, but we also hear of some slight discounted cheese moving about. That sort of "mixed bag" information hasn't been conducive to creating a wall of worry that would propel us higher.
Producers ought to be forming their risk-management game-plan for the balance of the year if they have not already done so.
With the USDA releasing its Cold Storage Report for the month of May and an extra-large bucket of grain news coming out over the next few weeks, there is plenty of reason for major volatility in commodity markets.
We look for Class III to open soft, for spot to be steady to slightly and for futures to close mixed
Corn prices bounced yesterday, following six days of declines yesterday, despite improving ratings (70% good/excellent) and good weather, propelled by rumors of strengthening export demand and a bounce to the U.S. dollar which dropped over 500 points as the Euro strengthened on optimism over the situation in Greece. The July contract gained 7 cents to settle at 707.50, while new crop gained a solid 19.75 cents to settle at 680.25. Beans followed corn higher with July, settling 13 cents higher to 1348.75, while November gained 14.25 to close at 1349.75.
According to customs data, China imported more than double the amount of corn in May than it did last year, but that was still only 12,000 tons. Total January-May corn imports rose to 24,442 tons, up just 3% from last year's pace. Japan took a large purchase order, and rumors were rampant about a big Chinese corn purchase that most we trust found hard to believe. We'll chalk it up to a dead-cat bounce assisted by outside markets in similar fashion.
We look for corn to open 2 to 5 cents lower; soybeans to open 5 to 7 lower.

Gangnam style is your mom (talk) 21:30, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
|You have several very nice jokes, it is not bad.
|If you are new to Uncyclopedia, that is what you should do: create your article in the main space - World War 3 or your user space -User:Gangnam style is your mom/World War 3, then create a request in the Pee Review section where it says 'new entry'. And don't put the article content on the Pee Review page: someone who will review it, will find it by clicking the link. That is the way the Review page works.
|Prose and formatting:
|The point of Uncyclopedia itself is to be a parody on Wikipedia, normal encyclopedias, etc. So you are supposed to have an article which seems to be encyclopedic with the proper formatting and everything. Words written with CAPITAL LETTERS LOOK LIKE YOU ARE YELLING AT SOMEONE and spoil the impression of the article. The same thing about:

World War 3 is a new virtual-reality game, where you REALLY go into the real World War 3 in the future and fight and beat the crap out of Russia, China, etc.World War III has nothing much to be talked about. It is just that Stalin, Hitler, Obama, Mitty R Money, and Osama barrel Laden had a snowball fight with Barney, Elmo, Big Bird on Sesame Street and suddenly that weird guy in Inception went into their dreams and killed them all, then Iron Man, Batman, Spider Man, etc, had came and finished that inception guy. Then Hippie Zeus and his bunch came to finish the heroes off, then Poopy " I LUV to jack off " Jackson came to finish the Geek gods off, then the Giants and Gaea woke and killed the demigods, then comes the Titans to finish the giants off, then Urinus (a.k.a. The god of pee) came and used pee-in-your-mouth attack and told them to shut up. Then Chaos sealed all of them back into eternal darkness, where they started another snowball fight known as WW4, where you can put rock, poop, penis, boobs, hydrogen bombs, atomic bombs, melons, bombs, etc., into your own snowball, you have one snowball per lifetime, then you die and reincarnate into a different person and get another freaking snowball, and when you hit 100 person with one freaking snowball in three times in a row, in the fourth rebirth you can choose another rebirth or go to the isle of blest.
edit The Game Rule
You just throw snowballs in different styles with different weapons contained inside them. You will reach the Isles of Blest when you beat 100 person with one snowball three lifetimes in a row, but of course this is WW4, or post-war. For WW3, you just do the same as WW4, but one difference: you only have one lifetime or you fail the entire game. Of course, you can choose different characters, alive or dead like Justin Dickster, Osama Wild, Barracks Obama, Mitt "Romney R Money", etc.
edit The After Game
The post-game actually had one thing that was pretty wild: you got to live a social life like in real life. You can have sex with Kronos, beat the crap out of JB, etc., etc. If you beat the main story, you can actually live in the game and be stuck in there. So we kindly suggest that you never try to beat the main story.
edit Walkthrough
Well,you can either walk through this game and do nothing like the title suggests, or go suicide, or bravely fight. Your choice. Please do NOT READ ANY FURTHER. I AM NOT WRITING ANY FURTHER BECAUSE I AM BORED.

AP, USA Today overstated math scores since No Child Left Behind became law
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN & ANDREW SEIFTER
While both noted that reading scores were "mixed," an October 19 Associated Press article and an October 20 USA Today editorial overstated the modest improvement in math scores for fourth- and eighth-grade students since President Bush's No Child Left Behind education policy was put in place in 2003. The results were documented in the newly released report by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a national "report card" produced by the National Center for Education Statistics at the U.S. Department of Education.
The AP reported: "Across the country, math scores were up in grades four and eight." Similarly, USA Today described the math results as "a promising uptick." But while acknowledging that reading scores have been "mixed" since No Child Left Behind was passed in 2003 -- they have barely improved among fourth-graders and have declined among eighth-graders -- neither the AP nor USA Today noted that the NAEP also found that even the growth in math scores has slowed since Bush's education policy was put into law.
By contrast, an October 20 Washington Post article noted: "The strongest results nationally were in math, but growth was slower over the past two years than it had been over the previous three." An October 20 Christian Science Monitor report noted that, considered together, the reading and math scores "show that progress slowed between 2003 and 2005, when the No Child Left Behind law was most fully implemented."

A wall of resistance from European Union governments and industry stands in the way of the efforts of Connie Hedegaard, the EU's climate action commissioner, to secure a pledge from the 27-nation bloc to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by even more than it is already committed to doing.
Hedegaard contends that the EU can afford to set itself higher targets, because Europe's recent recession – the worst in its history – reduced economic activity and so slashed the cost of meeting the goals set in 2008. The EU's basic target is a 20 per cent cut in emissions by 2020 from 1990 levels. Hedegaard would like to raise the target to 30 per cent, thereby maintaining Europe's self-image as the frontrunner in world efforts to tackle climate change. Read more

A mother who dramatically gave birth to a "miracle" baby in the middle of a high street has admitted she thought she was going to die.
Esther Oyeleye gave birth on a flower shop stall in cold Whetstone High Road on November 23 when the baby unexpectedly arrived while she was on her way to hospital.
Baby Isabelle was not breathing when she was born in the breech position and paramedics spent more than three minutes reviving her in the ambulance.
The baby was rushed to hospital, where she had a seizure and was put into an induced coma for five days before miraculously making a full recovery, along with her mother.
Both arrived home after ten days in hospital and Esther now says she wants to thank shopkeepers who came out to help in her hour of need.
The 35-year-old, who has two other children aged four and five, also said she is looking forward to spending the first Christmas at home with her new baby daughter.
She said: "I just want to thank everyone so much – I can't believe there are still people like this in the world. I know that what they did helped so much. I'd like to cook them all a meal and give them a big hug.
"I was really scared and at one stage I felt so weak I felt like the life was draining out of me. But someone up there was looking down on me to give me one last push to get the baby out and give us both a chance to live."
Esther, of York Way, Whetstone, was unable to hold her baby for five days while she lay in an incubator hooked up to numerous drips and wires but fortunately the little girl began getting better by the day.
The mother-of-three also revealed that Isabelle's registered birth address is now Pink's florists and that she has been given the nickname 'Pinky' as a result.
The unexpected birth came about as paramedics, on the phone to the taxi driver while Esther was in the back having contractions, advised him to pull over immediately and for her to lie flat.
The closest spot was a flower stall outside the florists where Esther, with the help of shopkeepers, the father, and later paramedics, gave birth to baby Isabelle.
A restaurant manager took the worried children inside and gave them pizza and drinks during the episode and a manager and first aider from the nearby Waitrose were on hand to give advice until the ambulance arrived.
Esther admitted the whole incident went by in a blur and that even now she is still coming to terms with what happened.
She said: "It was a total miracle. It is the sort of thing you read about happening to someone else but you never think it could happen to you. It still seems so surreal.
"In the hospital I kept praying and praying. I was wondering if she would survive and, if she did, would she be ok."
After five worrying days, Esther held her baby for the first time and on the tenth day she was able to bring her home to join her siblings Mordecai, four, and Katriel, five.
"That moment was just amazing. I was trying to stay positive throughout the whole thing but it was so good to have her home.
"We're all looking forward to having Christmas together now. The main thing is just to thank everyone – I'm so grateful."

A Kent State University football player is now facing a felony charge following a Nov. 18 fight at a fraternity house on University Drive in Kent.
Denzell L. Burton, 19, of Korb Hall, was arrested by Kent police Nov. 30 and charged with felonious assault, a second-degree felony. He is accused of causing serious physical harm to Tyler Montgomery at the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house at 222 University Drive.
Burton, a freshman linebacker, did not appear in any games for the Golden Flashes this past season. He has been suspended indefinitely for "violating team policy," head coach Darrell Hazell told the Daily Kent Stater student newspaper. He is being held in the Portage County jail on 10 percent of $30,000 pending future court dates.
Burton was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. Nov. 18 and charged with two misdemeanors, assault and obstructing official business. Kent police told the Daily Kent Stater Burton was arrested in the parking lot of the Wendy's on East Main Street. The incident allegedly began as a fight between football players and fraternity brothers in the basement of the fraternity house, the newspaper reported.
A preliminary hearing is set Friday in Portage County Municipal Court in Kent. Additional charges could be filed after the case is heard by a Portage County grand jury.

A claim by the Royal College of Nursing that a "reckless policy" of job cuts has left the NHS with thousands fewer senior nursing posts, has been denied by Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
In its Frontline First report, published this week, the RCN says that nursing workforce cuts nationally have caused a significant loss and devaluation of skills and experience in the NHS with 3,994 fewer full time equivalent nursing staff working in senior positions compared to in 2010.
But this has been countered by the foundation trust, which says more than £1.1 million has been invested in nurse recruitment in the last year with around 270 nursing and midwifery staff appointed.
The trust provides acute services at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon, and community health and maternity services across Wiltshire and in parts of Bath and North East Somerset.
Frontline First claims that the NHS has been treating staff with years of experience as 'disposable' and a quick way to save money, which means specialist clinical knowledge and leadership is being lost.
And some senior staff have been forced into lower pay grades by 'downbanding'. This permanently devalues that role, sending a message that experience and leadership is not valued in the NHS and lowering morale among staff.
In the Mid Staffordshire Public Inquiry report, Robert Francis highlighted the importance of having ward managers who were able to properly manage their wards and other nursing staff, noting that their role was "universally recognised as absolutely critical."
Dr Peter Carter, chief executive and general secretary of the RCN, said: "Nurses have been telling us for some time that workforce reorganisations are disproportionately targeted at more senior staff with key specialist or leadership roles.
"This is something which has a knock-on effect on all staff, and most importantly on patient care.
"As the Francis report rightly pointed out, patient care is affected when there are not enough senior nurses to effectively manage wards. When these positions are targeted for cuts, ward managers have less time to develop and support staff.
"What we have also seen too often in struggling hospitals is a lack of communication between management and clinical staff, meaning problems can go unreported and unresolved until it is too late.
"Senior nurses are ideally placed to act as a bridge between frontline staff and management, enabling resources to be used where they are most needed.
"In the community, senior and specialist nurses often work with a great deal of autonomy and are often solely responsible for patients. It is these patients who are affected when these posts are removed.
"Just as worryingly is the loss of specialist clinical skills and experience which is inevitable when so many band 7 and 8 nursing posts are cut or left vacant.
"As more patients require complex care from specialist nurses, letting so many years of skills and experience vanish from the NHS is an utterly reckless policy.
"We are facing a Europe-wide shortage of nursing staff and the last thing the NHS should be doing at this time is treating its highly experienced staff as disposable.
"We need to be doing everything we can to retain the skills we have in the NHS rather than using them as a quick and easy way to make savings.
"These cuts are a short-term attempt by trusts to find efficiency savings, yet they will lead to a very serious and very long-term crisis in our health service."
In a statement the foundation trust, said: "In January 2013 we launched a new nursing strategy setting the direction of travel for our nursing workforce over the next few years, building on all that is good about nursing in our trust.
"As our largest staff group we recognise that our nurses are vital for providing the best patient care whether on a ward or in someone's own home.
"Over the past year we have invested heavily in nursing, with over £1.1m invested in nurse recruitment across the trust.
"In the last year around 270 nursing and midwifery staff have joined the trust, which means there are now 96 more nursing and midwifery staff on wards and in the community than last year.
"There are already 2,611 nursing and midwifery staff caring for patients, but we are continuing our recruitment efforts to recruit around 50 more.
"We are committed to helping our nurses get the most out of their role, offering them support, guidance, training and opportunities to develop them at whatever stage they are in their career.
"Last year we also made a big investment in nursing and midwifery leadership across the trust and invested £250,000 in training and development.
"By supporting, improving and expanding our nursing workforce within the trust we can make a real positive impact on patient care."

I picked up a Jaccard last week to mess around with and to my surprise they do work very well.
I used it on a top round steak about a inch thick and used the Jaccard on both sides a few times east and west then a few times north to south. I grilled up the steaks and I read that it will also make the steaks cook faster but I am not sure I beileve that. The steaks did come out super tender. I picked up a few NY Strip steaks and I will see how it works on them.

Disposable Medical Gloves & Surgical Gloves
Keep your doctors' money-makers, their hands, in prime condition by providing them with surgical gloves that not only fit precisely, but allow their hands the same sensitivity of a glove-less experience. This gives the doctors the best of both worlds and enables them to work with more efficiency and confidence. Instead of dealing constantly with sore, tired hands, they can brush up on surgical procedures. These gloves also help to keep the patient healthy by keeping any germs locked away beneath the non-latex or synthetic material where they belong.
Protect Your Patients With Sterile Surgical Gloves
Hands, no matter how meticulously scrubbed, have no place near open wounds, and a box of sterile surgical gloves is just what your staff needs to keep patients safe. These gloves keep hands from transferring infections to unsuspecting patients during major or minor procedures, and they powder-free as well. Although that fine dusting of white powder on many types of surgical gloves aids your doctors in putting them on, the benefits stop there; those gloves risk transferring the powder to those same open wounds the gloves are supposed to protect, resulting in infection. Ansell Derma Prene, SensiCare and Sempermed all offer powder-free gloves, so sterile and clean that you could eat off of them.
Give Your Doctors the Sensitivity to Do Delicate Procedures
Although gloves are critical to good doctor hygiene, they can also blunt the sensitivity of hands that have to do incredibly delicate procedures like stitching together an artery or sculpting a life-sized ladybug. Ansell Derma Prene makes gloves that enhance instead of dilute finger sensitivity. Your doctors' fingers, which have to be as sensitive as eyes when feeling around or "seeing" during an open heart surgery, will have no trouble feeling the difference between an artery and a pulmonary vein.
Surgical Gloves Help to Reduce Hand Fatigue
Surgeons spend a lot of time working with their hands, which is as exhausting in its own way as sprinting a 5K. To combat hand fatigue, purchase Ansell Derma Prene or Sempermed gloves. These gloves ease soreness and stress. A doctor that doesn't have to rest her hands as often can work more efficiently and help more patients. She also can go home at the end of the day energized instead of worn out and needing to ice her fingers.
A Perfect Fit for Hands of Any Size
These gloves also are ergonomically designed so that they fit a variety doctors' hands. A well-fitting surgical glove is more than a fashion statement; it's a way to ensure that no shifting takes place during a delicate procedure. This way, surgeons can operate with confidence, especially if performing a high risk surgery or carefully suturing a wound.

Topic: Hans won our sick leave case in the Swedish Supreme Court!!!
My incredibly wonderful, smart and talented husband won our case in the Swedish Supreme Court and I am so very proud of him.
Many of you know that I was first diagnosed and treated in Scotland after becoming sick while being a bridesmaid in my bestfriends wedding. Sweden agreed to pay for all medical bills and my surgery but would not allow Hans to take sick leave to be with me. If I had become sick in Sweden, he would have been entitled to it. Instead, he took vacation days during the most intense part of the period.
By EU law, we thought this was illegal. The governement cannot make a distinction between EU member nations. Hans looked up EU rules and regulations, similar court cases in other member nations and prepared our court case. We won in the first court, lost on appeals, and then we took it to the Supreme Court and won.
Now Swedes will be covered by sick leave to be with their family members in other EU nations. No other person will have to take vacation days or be denied the chance to be with their loved ones during health emergencies. We have really made a difference to Sweden's laws and how they affect Swedish families.
I am so very proud of Hans and in some ways, I think of this as a bright spot that came out of my cc. In some ways, if I die, this will be my legacy.
Did I mention how much I love and how proud I am of Hans?
36 year old patient with buckets of hope

Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall believes the Men in Black deserved their narrow 17-16 win over Northampton Saints at the Stadium MK.
The victory means Sarries remain second in the Aviva Premiership but it could have been very different as Saints' Stephen Myler struck the bar with the last kick of the game from a penalty five metres inside his own half.
"Of course it would have been a sick feeling to lose it at the end," McCall said.
"Sometimes you lose and that is fine but when you are on top, like we felt we were on top, it would have been disappointing.
"At the same time sometimes that is your own fault, if you have got ahead of yourselves and not done things quite right."
Sarries made a strong start as a try from hooker John Smit and two penalties from Charlie Hodgson put the Men in Black 11-0 up with just 15 minutes played.
But a Phil Dowson try and three Myler penalties saw Saints overturn the deficit before Owen Farrell came off the bench to restore Sarries' advantage with two penalties of his own.
Myler nearly had the last word though with a superb late effort and Sarries boss McCall admits he was relieved to see the kick fall just short.
"I felt the same as everyone else felt. It was out of our hands," he said.
"We knew it was a very difficult kick. It was an unbelievable strike in fairness.
"Myler had his kicking boots on today, didn't he? So we are grateful to have come away with a narrow victory."
Saracens will be looking to continue their strong league form when they host Sale Sharks on Sunday.

The Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) is a relatively brief self-report psychometric instrument (questionnaire) published by Pearson Assessments. It is designed to evaluate a broad range of psychological problems and symptoms of psychopathology. It is also useful in measuring the progress and outcome of psychiatric and psychological treatments or for research purposes. The SCL-90-R is normed on individuals 13 years and older. It consists of 90 items and takes 15-20 minutes to administer, yielding 9 scores along primary symptom dimensions and 3 scores among global distress indices. More than 1,000 studies have been conducted demonstrating the reliability, validity, and utility of the instrument. It is one of the most widely used measures of psychological distress in clinical practice and research.

Write a secret code program that encrypts messages entered with your own mathematical formula. For this assignment, you will add a "decoder" function to your program using lists. First, update the encoding function so that, as each character is encoded, it is placed in a list. Then, write a new decoding function that, when called, iterates over the list and prints out the original string. This is what I have so far but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong can get some help please:
- Code: Select all
#Encoded Secret Code of the users input message and then decodes it.
encoded = '' "
def encoded_message(message_user):
'''Encodes a message for the user using a mathematical formula based off unicode'''
for a in message_user:
actual_unitary_code = ord(a)
math_formula_change = ((actual_unitary_code * 3) - 13)*2
math_formula_change = str(math_formula_change)
global encoded
encoded = encoded + math_formula_change + ' '
return encoded
def decoded_message(encoded_unicode):
'''Decodes the message the user gave'''
for a in encoded_unicode:
encoded_unicode = chr(a)
def main():
'''Asks user what he/she wants to encode and then returns the encoded message after using the unitary code'''
encoded_list = []
user_message = input("Please enter a message that you want to encode: \n ")
encoded = encoded_message(user_message)

"Debris Spill – Metrpolitan Ave – Heavy Delays." "Fuck me," I think to myself as traffic comes to a dead stop on the BQE. Debris spill my ass. There's some part a building that collapsed onto Meeker Avenue. With some quick thinking I'm able to avoid most of this delay and park my car under the bridge. Off to the L train and some pre-gaming before I reach my destination: The Champagne Riot at Dominion Theatre & Lounge located on Lafayette Street. I'm quite the fan of good burlesque (whether classy or trashy) and this event helped get my Friday the 13th into full swing.
It's 'nipply' cold nights like this that keep most of the drag queens, club kids, and usual hosts home so why not pop into a little hetero event? I normally support heterosexuality (in small doses) so the performers, hosts, and attendees of Champagne Riot were nothing short of sweethearts. Dominion itself is a nicely tucked away little gem that gives its patrons a vintage invite with a nicely stocked bar, cute colorful lighting, and significantly sized theater. Riot's coordinators have done one hell of a job getting performers and musicians with legitimate talent. Our MC for the evening, Dandy Wellington, had everyone in high spirits as he ushered in some of the loveliest ladies to the stage.
One of my favorite moments of the night had Heather Holiday performing her sword swallowing act in which she began with one sword and bumped it up to three (Trying to compete with me, huh?). No, this is not some hidden corner of The Eagle, get your mind out of the gutter. Moving on through the night we were treated to Jezebel Express, Harvest Moon, Trixie Little & The Evil Hate Monkey, Lee Chappell, and Gin Minsky all doing a superb job of taking us back to a bygone era when "gay" actually meant "happy." Another great point with Champagne Riot is that it's pretty much wrapped up around 1am giving you still three more hours to go ransack the city, all culminating in you stuffing your drunk face with five dollar street meat. Now, get those spats on, fancy lady, and stroll on over to their next event held on February 10th. Don't worry. I already told you there's still enough time to go cruising afterwards.

Whether you neglected to do your research on a contractor before hiring, or even if you vetted every candidate — bad things can happen.
Unskilled workers slap together a poor job, you pay for amenities that never get installed, the work is subpar or maybe the contractor disappears altogether.
"When we are hiring contractors to do projects around our house a lot of times we may skip on our research," said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List. "Don't hire the contractor that is not licensed, don't hire the contractor that doesn't carry proper insurance because while those might seem like little shortcuts now, they could turn into big headaches down the road."
Depending on where you live and what resources are available, a homeowner's options for recourse vary.
- Your options if the contractor was licensed: If the company is licensed, file a complaint with your local licensing agency. In addition, homeowners can file complaints with their state or local contractor's board (even if the contractor is not licensed) and through the Angie's List complaint resolution, all of which might be able to help resolve the claim on the homeowner's behalf.
- Your options if the contractor was bonded: Homeowners can also seek reimbursement from a contractor's bond. Although requirements can vary by state and even by city, when a company tells you it's bonded, there's an agreement between the customer, the contractor and the agent that issues the bond (typically an insurance company). The bond is a guarantee that the contractor will perform the services outlined in the contract, and if he or she fails to do so, the customer can report the problem to the issuing agent and receive compensation. Bonds can protect homeowners from shoddy work, project abandonment, damage to the property and any unpaid supply or labor charges.
- Your options if taking legal action: Homeowners can seek legal action, whether it's through small claims court or by hiring a private attorney. While you don't need an attorney for small claims court, each state has a limit on how much can be recovered through this process.
Angie's List Tips: Hiring a Contractor
- Create a paper trail: Create a timeline and assemble a file of all the paperwork surrounding the project, including contracts, receipts and canceled checks. Document with photos.
- Never pay the full amount up front: Down payments are a standard practice in the remodeling industry, but you should be careful about how much to put down. Never, of course, pay the full costs up front. A reasonable down payment is acceptable. Don't pay anything, though, until you have a contract that spells out the payment structure. Tie future payments to progress on the job and hold back at least 10 percent until the job is complete to your satisfaction.
- Get three bids: You'll get an idea of the general price range and identify the outliers. Then, using price as one consideration, you can select your contractor based on other factors such as communication, creativity and flexibility. The goal when taking the time to get three estimates is a high-quality project completed at a fair price. That's a return well worth your time.
- Read the contact: The details of the contract, including payment terms, should be spelled out in the contract signed by both you and the contractor.
