Prevention of gender-based violence using Web 2.0 on the women's
I heard information is power; however delivering the information is important and become one of big constraints. People say – method might lead to proper product. Incomplete information may lead people to false alarm, wrong perception and created unhappiness. That's why many misunderstanding born in this world due to prejudice of incomplete consideration of facts, biased-perspectives, oversimplified issues, rumors/gossip, uncontrolled-emotional, cross-wire language and so on.
The availability of information communication technology (ICT) has indeed empowered people to communicate faster, broader and easier regardless place and time. People started using cell phone, internet, sending text even pictures across cities, island, and countries regardless time and places. Thus, the Web 2.0 has increased the opportunity and access for all women in the world to share globally on the internet about their experiences, opinion, struggling, progress, conditions and hopes in creating a better life for today, tomorrow and future!
The promising broadcast aspect of Web 2.0 and the capability of social media to support the communication across societies, nations and the world has interested me much to continue working for women empowerment in global context. I have a big hope on this Web 2.0 to help more women and men in preventing gender-based violence.
I have started to get involved in the elimination of violence against women in 2000 when I was promoted to work for Ministry of Women Empowerment Republic of Indonesia. We were fighting hard to born the Domestic Violence Act by working together with multi-sectors, non government organizations, media and parliamentary over public/mass media campaign, socialization, meetings, workshop and road shows. The Domestic violence act was finally endorsed by the government of Indonesia in 2004.
As the counselor for women complaint system Post Office Box 10000, I found that most complaint due to gender-based violence (GBV) cases where women as the major victims. I feel struck by the life-stories, the fate and the loss of many women and family due to this GBV. Why the happy dream of living together need to end up to physical, psychological and sexually injured even death to the spouses? Something must be wrong and we have to do something to help them.
I finished my doctoral study with thesis on GBV, some predisposing and intervening factors are found that can reduce the cases. The findings revealed that higher communication implementation among spouses within low implementation of patriarchy culture may reduce the GBV cases into 56%.
Despite my satisfaction in the study outcome, I feel that I have debt to all women, some of them were victims; who became respondents to my study and I also feel being obligated to tell all women and girls to prevent the GBV in their future-life.
I realized that the Web 2.0 will be empowering me to perform the mission, regardless my age; to keep distributing and broadcasting the hope and the powerful-coping mechanism of GBV prevention toward elimination of violence against women.

Considerations and Questions to ask when you view Boston Apartments.
One of the biggest issues in New England is the laundry situation. Most people would love to have an in-unit washer and dryer, but most of the time that is not the case. Laundry needs to be decided on as a "need" a "want" or an "I don't care" before you go to your viewing appointments.
If you attend a viewing and you have not yet decided on where laundry facility access falls under your list of priorities, then you may hesitate on your application. As we have mentioned in a previous blog guiding you on how to apartment hunt in Boston, if you wait to apply, you will most likely miss out on the opportunity for that apartment overall. Know what you want first.
Some questions to ask about laundry (if not in unit):
1) Where do most people in the building do their laundry?
2) (If a facility in the building) Can I see the facility?
Dishwashers are often not included in many Boston apartments; however, you may luck out and find some apartments for rent in Boston with a dishwasher in the unit. It all depends. Think about dishes in a similar manner as laundry. Is the time it takes to hand wash dishes too much for you? Would the countertop have enough space to dry your dishes if you do need to hand wash them? The questions you would ask for dishes are more internal. The agent or landlord won't have much help for you here, but it is something you should consider prior to viewing apartments so you are prepared to apply.
Come to your appointment prepared to know what you will need to maintain your apartment as well. Not all floors are created equal and not all can be cleaned in the same way. If the floor is carpet, the cleaning, maintenance, and restrictions are all fairly self-explanatory. Yet, if the floors are hardwood, cork or some kind of tile, you will want to know a few things.
Questions to ask about floors:
How does the owner prefer the floors to be cleaned?
Will the floor material chip easily if something is dropped on it?
Is it comfortable to walk on barefoot?
Does the floor stain easily?
Does it wear quickly in areas of high traffic?
Storage is huge for all apartment dwellers anywhere. You should obviously look around the apartment for storage space and determine if there is enough space for your items, but chances are you may still need additional storage for most of your living arrangement options.
Questions to ask about storage:
Are there any storage spots in the unit that are hidden or not easily found? (You may have missed some!)
Is there additional storage for residents anywhere else in the building?
Is there a storage facility nearby where you could rent a small unit for a decent price?
Believe it or not, you should actually consider how insulated the building or apartment is. The insulation could be the key to your heating and cooling schedule in the future. It can essentially make or break your summer and winter budgets. Dual-paned windows, thick insulation in the walls and ceiling and insulation under the flooring are all pieces that will help you keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round.
Questions to ask about insulation:
Are the windows single or dual-pane?
Does the insulation keep the temperature inside stable?
(For experts) What kind and how thick is the insulation in the walls and ceiling?
Heating and cooling is a common thing to consider. It is probably one of the first things on your mind when you consider questions to ask a potential landlord or property manager.
Questions to ask about heating and cooling:
What kind of energy is used for heating?
What is the average bill for both in the summer and winter?
If there is no central A/C, are in-window units allowed to be screwed in? (Some places may not allow you to screw the unit in properly or display them at all.)
Proximity to Things to Do
You should arrive near your appointment early to check out the surrounding area, but also ask the agent or landlord what there is to do. A local will always know the best places around. Make sure you ask what is nearby and about your own specific interests, whether that's outdoor activities, drinking, good food, theatre or anything else that you may find in Boston. You can also use the internet to cover tons of ground in an area. Check out the streets, you also and virtually drive down them with many map applications. What is most important to you? Coffee, Gym, food, etc. – what are your main needs?
Noise Level
When you are at the apartment, check out the average noise level. You can hear what it's like during the day while you're there, but you won't know what it's like at night or on different days of the week. Ask the person showing you the property what the noise level is like at night and on the weekends. Never think twice about taking a ride at night and check out the area at night. You want to know everything!
If you have kids or are thinking of attending an adult school or college of some sort, you can also ask about schools. Your own preliminary research is beneficial, but so is local knowledge. You need both to get the full story.
Last, but not least is traffic. Keep an eye out for things that might make you late for work or just plain ruin your day. If you don't mind traffic, then don't worry about it!
As with everything, you should always do your own research on all of these topics before your viewing appointment. But when you discuss everything you need to know with the property manager or landlord, you may find out different information or something that you could not have known by just looking online. Be prepared for your viewing and make sure you are informed before deciding on renting that next apartment.

In April of 2008 the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices applicable to renovation, repair, and painting contractors. This rule began its full effect on April 22, 2010.
In conversations with multiple contractors which this rule is applicable and with the increased knowledge obtained through training I have come to understand the draconian implications this rule will have on everybody who owns, rents, or uses pre-1978 property.
I honor all who have fought and died in the service of protecting and defending our Country.
To those who have selflessly served and paid the ultimate price I wish there was an opportunity to shake their hand or give them a warm embrace.
Remember whenever you meet a service member that they may be called at anytime to make the sacrifice that we honor today. Shake their hand and embrace them, as they are defending your Constitutional rights with their lives.
First, I think it is disrespectful of the US Constitution and the Legislature for this Administration and past Administrations to establish policies which ignore adherence and enforcement of established laws whether I personally agree with them or not. Under current law the Federal government is responsible for protecting the United States borders and it is the responsibility of the Administration to perform that duty with all available resources or admit its failure.
Second, I believe the laws regarding immigration are all wrong! Also, other laws, such as illegal drug and minimum wage laws, enhance problems associated with border crossings, crime, and other illicit activities.
The tax code repeats certain terms frequently:
The United States Internal Revenue Code is one of the most inequitable instruments ever devised. By proffering credits, deductions, and other special treatments to certain individuals, organizations, or geographical areas on the basis of preferred action or condition the Tax Code is utilized as a political device to drive special agendas.
Everyday we hear that lobbyists are pushing their agenda in Washington. Lobbyists are defined as people who try (and many times succeed) to influence legislation and policy.
We are all part of Special Interest Groups whether organized or not. Each of us have characteristics, prejudices, ideologies, and just plain likes and dislikes which place us in groups. Some of us are Catholic business owners in Missouri, some are gay soldiers serving in Iraq, and the diversity is as infinite as the number of individuals.
There is much fervor over Illegal Immigration and how "those people" are not paying taxes, using "free" resources such as health care, and a myriad of other problems. Some of it comes from racism, although the term racism is sometimes used in place of the proper term of foreigner, but much of it comes from a perception that these individuals are getting benefits without paying taxes.
Labor Unions are functionally not very much different from Corporations or government. Both represent groups of people. Corporations represent stockholders, those who own and control the activity of their company. Government represents the citizens who in essence are stockholders. Labor Unions represent the people who might work in either place. Each is a body composed of a group of people which was organized for their benefit. Each derives these benefits from their cumulative activity.
Ok, so I was looking at a statement by a Republican Congressman about the values of the Republican Party and it occurred to me that I should read their current Platform again.
After reading some of their Values I came up with a number of issues, but one set of contradictory statements really stood out.
The first part was Preserving Traditional Marriage and their support of the Defense of Marriage Act and wanting to add additional language to make marriage as a union between a man and woman only nationally.
Last week I attended the regular meeting of Silicon Valley Campaign for Liberty. Their guest speaker was Kirk MacKenzie, the author of Money, Defending Your Prosperity. He presented and described our current monetary system, its history, and some of the virtues and problems.
Attendees who have read his book commented that it was very insightful as most people, including our current elected officials, have limited or no understanding on how "money" is created and how it interacts with our economy.
I had been busy the last few weeks making sure I was qualified for the ballot by getting all my petitions in line for the nomination and signature-in-lieu processes, so while I kept tabs on what was going on I didn't have much of an opportunity to sit down and look at anything in depth.

Tourism is regarded by many countries, particularly resource-poor countries, as a potential stimulus to the economy. Yet tourism, by the nature of the activities involved, is constrained by the natural resource base and infrastructure, and by the pollution and other environmental and social impacts of tourist numbers. Tourism development strategies of national governments have been diverse in the face of this complex relationship between the economic costs and benefits of tourism. This paper examines tourist development based on concepts of open access and renewable natural resources. The experiences of two economies highly dependent on tourism, the Maldives and Nepal, are compared and contrasted. Although these countries offer very different attractions to tourists, they are faced with similar problems in terms of adverse environmental impacts of tourism. The dominant impacts in both areas are those associated with solid waste disposal and water resources, compounded by the depletion of natural resources. Both countries are currently employing 'dispersal' techniques to overcome the adverse impacts of tourism, but such strategies do not address the fundamental problem of maintaining tourism revenues whilst minimizing environmental damage. Even if an ecological carrying capacity can be defined, the experiences of these two countries indicate that impacts on local communities may well exceed so-called cultural carrying capacity.

What's New August 2005
This page lists changes to this site for August 2005.
See below for other updates and to get notified of changes to the site.
G8 Summit Outcome: Very small step forward
The G8 Summit ended with what seemed to be small progress. While the aid increases and debt write-off were welcome, the spin accompanying it hid how little they really were as inflated figures or subtly misleading phrases were used instead. There is no new progress on trade or climate change. Some small victories were there though, such as progress on some health issues. Despite the huge concerns, perhaps with the increased public awareness, there is a glimmer of hope for the future. A new page had been added to explore these issues.
The London blasts have dominated media reporting in England. Yet, much context has not been covered.
How does terrorism fit into the larger global issues? How can causes of terrorism be better addressed? This article explores some of these issues. New article has been created.
Why the $40 billion debt write-off is not historic
The spin on the $40 billion debt write-off has been quite marked. It is really about $1 billion per year, and its present net value amounts to about $17 billion. Furthermore, it is not debt forgiveness, even though it may appear as a write-off. The reason is that G8 countries will reimburse the multilateral creditors by reducing the amount of aid they give to foreign countries. In effect, for the long run, poor countries have submitted to more harmful conditions, while losing out on future aid. In return, G8 leaders receive praise as saviors. A small update added regarding this.
Tariffs for poor countries can sometimes be beneficial. Will rich countries try to negotiate those away?
For up-coming WTO talks, is there a risk that recently raised awareness about unfair rich country subsidies, tariffs, and protectionism will mean that rich countries may attempt to use this as a bargaining chip to get similar scales of reduction from poor countries? One size certainly does not fit all even though it initially may sound fair. For poor countries at various stages of development, it has been shown that some levels of protecting and nurturing is vital for industrialization. After all, practically all of today's industrialized nations did this so why not allow the same for today's developing countries? Updates added to this page to reflect more details about tariffs and development.

Remember how weird Ren and Stimpy was?
It was really weird. Every episode was full of adult themes, transparent innuendos, and frequently disturbing animation that got it a lot of attention from those groups of concerned citizens that show up every couple of years to ban a violent video game but it is easy to forget what made Ren and Stimpy really special. Nerdwriter made a great video detailing how Ren and Stimpy was different from everything else on the Nickelodeon slate as well as the animation market and how it managed to influence future Nicktoons. You probably won't want to go out and watch Ren and Stimpy again (as an adult I still find it hard to stomach) but it will give you a lot of respect for the trailblazers.

I recently had a paper published with Journal of Sociology titled Moral Decline Sociology: Critiquing the Legacy of Durkheim. You can view the abstract and full-text here.
I promise it's not as boring as it sounds.
Although looking backwards to Durkheim, this paper is fundamentally about how us sociologists can help make sense of contemporary moral life. One of the anonymous reviewers described the paper as a 'discussion that has long been overdue in Sociology, and is fundamental to it's philosophical core, as least the Durkheim branch'. Nice praise, indeed.
I argue that starting from Durkheim, sociology tends to be dominated by accounts of moral 'decline' or breakdown. I then go on to identify and critique a set of key assumptions within the Durkheimian tradition and show how they map onto more recent diagnoses of moral decline by the theoretical likes of Rieff, Bell, Lasch, Etzioni and Bellah. Australian authors Clive Hamilton, Hugh Mackay and John Carroll also get a mention.

It takes strategy and execution discipline to get it done
Last week, we spent a day with a couple hundred CEOs at the Vistage Executive Summit in Austin, TX. It was a terrific event. If there's one coming to your city, you should attend. The "innovation" theme was appropriately bookended by a leading economist in the morning and an execution disciplinarian in the afternoon. After all, innovation without execution is only a bunch of good ideas.
Economist: Short-Term Forecast is Excellent
The impressively informed and entertaining ITR economist Alan Beaulieu reminded us that while there's prosperity ahead for many businesses, there is also looming inflation and an inevitable "Great Depression" on the horizon (late 20s). He told us that now's the time to get ready to take advantage of three plus years of economic expansion. These actions were at the top of his preparation advisory:
Where Will Growth Come From?
Our giant foam board chart was quickly cluttered with colorful markers noting growth targets and sourcing splits. We summarized our data with these points of interest:
One of our biggest takeaways is that the averages don't tell the story as much as noting the variances in approach. And if there was one area of alarm, it was how many companies are placing bets in most or all quadrants of growth. In our experience, mid-market companies lack the resources and organizational discipline to address more than one or two key growth vectors effectively. It would have been insightful to capture whether or not these companies have the tactical plans in place to execute and reach their goals.
Growth Requires Execution Discipline
Back in the main tent, a live text poll of the audience confirmed a fact that the Vistage organizers creatively planned for – that the largest concern mid-market business owners have is not around innovation and growth strategy, but their ability to execute. Thank goodness the next speaker was Patrick "Lips" Houlahan of Afterburner – the Flawless Execution™ process management expertswho came from extreme military units. This was a best best-in-class presentation.
One of "Lips'" key points was that flawless execution isn't perfect execution but the impact of anticipating and responding well to the unexpected. Brilliant. While no one at the podium took the opportunity to relate this back to Alan Beaulieu's check list, it was clear that being prepared goes beyond planning and includes enhancing sensitivities to the marketplace, as well as training your people.
Identifying and Executing Strategic Growth Opportunities
In conclusion, CEOs are bullish about their near-term prospects for growth. They have general ideas on where that growth is going to come from, and they are concerned with their ability to resource and execute against their plans. Phew. Sounds like business-as-usual.
One of Chief Outsiders most popular and useful short guidance documents is "Identifying Strategic Growth Opportunities." Perhaps it can help you generate a prioritized plan for growth and organize your resources to execute.

1. All the clothes are the same
The single biggest complaint about the state of fashion today is a distinct lack of original design. Particularly in the street fashion genre, the industry is plagued with a massive "me-too" complex. These days the challenge is all over, everybody wants to be the next "billionaire street label with all-over pattern designs". Perhaps what's even more sad, is that the customer has largely bought into such an extraordinary lack of invention, perpetuating the appearance of such mindless creations. It is really a challenge to look at the street fashion collections that come out today and get any real sense of distinct "design personality". The group that loses when this happens is the customer, the customer that loses the ability to express themselves uniquely through what they wear.
2. Nobody cares for quality
In the latest Trend Report from trendwatching, one of the emerging trends for 2007 was "massclusivity" or exclusivity for the masses. What this has done, over the last few years, is commoditize all but the most luxurious products on earth. This has been done at the expense of quality. The fashion companies cannot make massive amounts of so called "designer" fashions at the same costs and with the same attention to detail as they would if they were not trying to flood the market with cheap clothes. As a direct result, quality has suffered, quality of the materials, quality of the designs, quality of the product delivery and quality of the production process. But more about that later …
3. Nobody cares for service
With the advent of mass commoditization, fashion has lost any ambitions of providing great service. If your goal is to move massive units of mindless cheap product, would you care so much about service? Would you put much effort into the experience your customer has with your label, with your brand? The labels have become faceless corporations with as much quality of brand experience as a vending machine. This has partly given rise to a larger fashion gap – the birth of "uber-premium" products where quality and service does matter though at such an expense that places them outside the reach of 99.9% of the mass class.
4. The designs don't mean anything
Fashion has never been a great place to find meaning, especially not with any depth. This is odd, because one of the measures of great design in other realms of artistic expression are the feelings, thoughts and emotions a design evokes in those who observe it. This is a large part of how other arts are judged and how consciously and unconsciously, value gets assigned to them. Fashion has spent generations treading on thin ice in this area. With too much bias towards passing pop culture fads, fashion has systematically squandered the opportunity to intrigue, create wonder and make a statement to its masses of followers.
5. The creations are not new, only recycled
Perhaps even greater than the lack of inspiring creativity, sparkling variety and depth of meaning is the distinct absence of true innovation. If you take a complimentary industry, such as sports footwear – that industry has built real brand value through innovation. Cases in point are leading brands like Puma or Nike. Guilty in some respects of their own style recycling with the retro sneaker fad, they have over time made real attempts to consistently rethink the sports sneaker. And the customer has benefited with greater comfort, better performance and ultimately, better styling.
So what now?
Well to those consumers who are now becoming more conscious and aware of the real price of fashion, who are concerned about the impact of their choices in what clothes they buy, the following may be good advice –
o Buy fewer clothes
o Buy clothes that are more durable so they can last longer
o Buy clothes that are made as ethically as possible, with least energy and least use of toxic chemicals
o Buy clothes made by workers paid a credible living age, with reasonable employment rights and conditions
o Buy clothes that mean something to you, clothes that you can be proud of, and proud of wearing for a long time
o Buy clothes that give something back to the world that gave birth to them
Fashion may be dead in many ways, but it does not have to be that way. In its proper form, fashion breathes. And when design, creativity, personal truth, honest expression and social responsibility meet – fashion sings. Because no matter what giant corporations may do, the undeniable truth is …
Fashion wants to live.

KARACHI, Pakistan — Two suspected suicide bombers attacked the most beloved Sufi shrine in Pakistan's largest city Thursday, killing at least seven people, wounding 65 others, and sending a stark reminder of the threat posed by Islamist militants to this U.S.-allied nation.
The attack came amid tensions between Washington and Islamabad over NATO helicopter incursions that have led Pakistan to close a key border crossing used to ferry supplies to Western troops in Afghanistan. Despite U.S. apologies over the incursions, one of which left two Pakistani soldiers dead, Islamabad said Thursday it had yet to decide when to reopen the crossing.
The explosions at the Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine in Karachi happened on Thursday evening, the busiest time of the week for Sufi shrines across the country. Thousands typically visit that shrine on a Thursday, praying, distributing food to the poor and tossing rose petals on the grave of the saint.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.

- Outcry over the fate of Sochi's stray dogs
- Olympic construction leaves Sochi residents in the cold
- Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
Ghazi was an 8th century saint credited with bringing Islam to the region along the coast. Local legend has it that his shrine protects Karachi from cyclones and other sea-related disasters.
Witness Hassam Uddin said the two blasts occurred near the main entrance of the shrine's compound before the metal detector, and that he saw 18 to 20 critically wounded people lying on the ground.
Splattered blood, flesh
An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw blood, flesh and shoes splattered at the site. A young boy with blood-stained clothes cried for help in a police vehicle, TV footage showed. Dozens of ambulances lined up outside the ferry victims to hospitals.
Mohibullah Khan, a 38-year-old manual laborer, was about to visit the shrine after evening prayers at a nearby mosque when the explosions occurred.
"I heard a huge bang and smoke billowed from there," Khan said. "I ran back toward the mosque and seconds after heard another big explosion. Then I moved to help the wounded and put six or seven of the crying ones in ambulances and police vehicles."
As Tahir Salim, an official with the paramilitary Pakistani Rangers, said some suspicious packages were found. Police and other security officials held hands to keep people from going into the area.

The death toll was at least seven, Sindh province Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza said, adding that suicide bombers were suspected because of the severed heads that were discovered.
"We have provided the best available security at this shrine," Mirza said. "Humanly, it is not possible to stop suicide bombers intent on exploding themselves."
In July, twin suicide bombers attacked Data Darbar, Pakistan's most revered Sufi shrine in the eastern city of Lahore, killing 47 people and wounding 180. That attack infuriated many Pakistanis, who saw it as an unjustified assault on peaceful civilians. In the aftermath, even amid fury against militants, many also blamed the U.S. presence in Afghanistan for fueling Islamist violence in their nation.PhotoBlog: Defying death to take fuel from NATO
Frustration with U.S.
The frustration with the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan has increased over the past two weeks due to the NATO helicopter strikes on Pakistani territory.
The U.S. has apologized and expressed condolences Wednesday for the Sept. 30 attack that killed two Pakistan border guards, and said the helicopters mistook them for insurgents being pursued across the border from Afghanistan.
The apologies raised expectations that the Torkham border crossing along the famed Khyber Pass could reopen very soon. But Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said at a news conference Thursday that authorities were still evaluating the situation and would make a decision "in due course."
Story: US apologizes for attack on Pakistani soldiers
Pakistan closed Torkham to NATO supply convoys on the same day as the helicopter attack, leaving hundreds of trucks stranded alongside the country's highways or stuck in traffic on the way to the one route into Afghanistan from the south that has remained open. Suspected militants have taken advantage of the impasse to attack stranded or rerouted trucks. Gunmen torched 70 fuel tankers and killed a driver in two attacks Wednesday.
Most popular
NATO officials have insisted the border closure has not caused supply problems for troops since hundreds of trucks still enter Afghanistan each day through the Chaman crossing in southwestern Pakistan and via Central Asian states.
But reopening Torkham is definitely a priority for NATO because it is the main crossing in Pakistan, the country through which NATO ships the majority of its supplies into Afghanistan. Other routes are more expensive and logistically difficult.
Amid the border tensions, the U.S. has kept up its missile strikes in Pakistan's tribal belt, where several militant groups are based.Video: NATO tankers left open to attack in Pakistan (on this page)
One Thursday targeted a vehicle in a thickly forested area near the town of Mir Ali in the North Waziristan tribal region, two Pakistani intelligence officials said. The identities of the dead were not immediately known, but the territory is believed to be controlled by Pakistani Taliban militants.
The strike would be the sixth suspected missile attack this month, keeping up a recent surge in such CIA-run, drone-fired attacks. In September, the U.S. is believed to have launched at least 21 such attacks, an unprecedented number and nearly all in North Waziristan.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
The U.S. rarely acknowledges the covert missile strike program. Pakistan officially opposes the program, but is believed to secretly support it.

Israel's Solar Industry Aims to Regain its Edge
Photo by the author.
Half a century ago, Israel was a world leader in renewable energy. With solar water heaters on every rooftop, Israel was at the forefront of innovation. Today, Israelis are looking to once again position their country as a pioneer in the renewable energy industry. A 3-day conference that kicked off yesterday in the southern resort city of Eilat has provided a few clues as to the direction that the nascent revolution is taking. The unseasonably warm weather served as an appropriate backdrop for the third annual Eilat-Eilot International Renewable Energy Conference. Focusing on the economic opportunities created by the transition to renewable energy, the event opened with a recorded announcement by the Prime Minister. Several other government ministers, along with a handful of American political personalities, have also been speaking here.
The impression one gets from listening to the talks is that today, unlike in the past, the various government bodies are now lined up firmly in support of renewable energy projects in Israel, even if there are still disagreements about the details.
Last year in Copenhagen, Israel committed to a 20% reduction in carbon emissions by 2020, and the government has also set itself a goal of producing 10% of the country's energy from renewable sources by 2020. These two relatively new commitments have given the industry a significant boost, and the wealth of entrepreneurs in attendance here served to illustrate this.
It hasn't always been so simple. Barely two months ago, Israel's nascent solar industry was thrown into an uproar when the public electric company abruptly announced that its quotas for solar energy were full. Eager to nourish a domestic solar industry, the state had committed to providing incentives within the framework of those quotas, stimulating the growth of dozens of solar energy start-ups.
Following the unexpected announcement that the quotas were full, almost a hundred solar firms sent a letter to Minister of National Infrastructures Uzi Landau, telling him that the development had put them "in an impossible situation."
Indeed, the matter was cleared up with uncharacteristic speed, and things sounded quite different yesterday at the opening day of the conference. Minister Landau was on hand to announce not only new and expanded quotas for solar energy production, but also new sources of financing for Israel's first large-scale solar plant, which is expected to begin operating in late 2014 and will eventually produce 250MW of electricity.
The packed house also attested to a new awareness in Israel that the transition to renewable sources of energy in Israel is an economic opportunity, and not, as one speaker put it, a "decree or a punishment."
Thus far, one of the most promising approaches to that transition has come from the Eilat-Eilot region, a sliver of arid and sun-drenched territory in Israel's extreme south. With a new regional renewable energy administration in place, and numerous projects being launched in the city of Eilat and the surrounding kibbutzim, the region hopes that its new regional development strategy can serve as a sustainable model for the rest of the country as it transitions away from fossil fuels.

The Irish Museum of Modern Art is housed in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, the finest 17th-century building in Ireland. The Royal Hospital was founded in 1684 by James Butler, Duke of Ormonde and Viceroy to Charles II, as a home for retired soldiers and continued in that use for almost 250 years. The style is based on Les Invalides in Paris with a formal facade and a large elegant courtyard. The Royal Hospital in Chelsea was completed two years later and also contains many similarities in style. The Royal Hospital Kilmainham was restored by the Government in 1984 and opened as the Irish Museum of Modern Art in May 1991.
Please visit the RHK Building and Site page for further information on the heritage of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.
Learn more about the original use of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham and what it was like to live here in the 17th and 18th centuries by visiting the historical exhibition the 'Old Man's House', created by the OPW.
The history of the Kilmainham site includes ancient burial grounds, early Christian monuments, a Viking settlement and a medieval monastery. The RHK was open as a retirement home and infirmary for nearly 250 years for generations of military veterans who lived and died there. The Old Man's House explores the stories of these soldiers alongside those of the hospital staff, from the earliest beginnings, through to its restoration and the founding of IMMA.
The exhibition is free of charge, and is located at ground level in the Courtyard Galleries, West. It is open Museum hours.
A number of works from the IMMA Collection are currently displayed in the grounds of the Museum. You can download a great guide to the artworks, for all ages, here: IMMA Artwork Trail

Linguistically the concept of foreign words in languages is described as 'borrowing' [1]. The idea of borrowing words is a universal observation that applies to all languages. English is a good example of this; take the word 'Philosophy'. It comes from the Greek words 'Philo' which means love of and 'Sophia' which means wisdom. The concept of 'foreign' or 'borrowed' words comes from the fact that different races, cultures and peoples come in contact with one another [2].
What was specific about the Arabs at the time of revelation was that they came into contact with other cultures due to trade and had subsequently borrowed certain words. [3]These foreign words in the Qur'an had already been naturalised into the Arabic language before the revelation of the Qur'an [4]. These words were already in use in the Arabic language. [5] According to Imam Shafi'i [6] these words had been fully integrated into Arabic and were already a part of the language [7].
These foreign words include:
Mount (Qur'an 95:2) borrowed from Syriac
Heavy (Qur'an 18:31) from Persian
Sinai (Qur'an 95:2) from Nabatean
The Inscription (Qur'an 18:9) from Greek
The Sea (Qur'an 7:136) from Coptic
Brilliant (Qur'an 24:35) from Abyssinian
To turn onto someone (Qur'an 7:156) from Hebrew[8]
With reference to the Qur'anic statement that it is a "Plain Arabic Qur'an" [9] al-Suyuti believes that the presence of a few foreign words does not make it any less Arabic then the presence of foreign words in a Persian Poem would not make it any less Persian [10]. Additionally the reference to "Plain Arabic" is to the Qur'an as a whole, and not the individual words in it [11].
To conclude, claims made by some critics are debased by understanding the nature of languages and how they naturalise foreign words into their vocabulary. This phenomenon happens as a result of different cultures and races integrating and coming together. Furthermore the Qur'an can be described as 'plain Arabic' because the foreign words in the Qur'an had already been naturalised and were already part of the Arabic language before revelation.

Witnessing History and Living in the Moment
Where were you the night Manny Pacquiao beat Oscar De La Hoya?
Last night's event will be ingrained in the memories of Filipinos all over the planet. A lucky few will proudly say that they were at the fight in Las Vegas to witness history happen. Most will tell a tale of gathering at a house loaded with food, friends, and family as they cheered on their hero on a television screen.
In Los Angeles, a select group of community members were invited to watch the fight at the Montalban Theater (yes, it's named after the man who played KHAN!). The fight screening was sponsored by Nike in conjunction with community organization Search to Involve Pilipino Americans (SIPA) and was billed as the Manny Pacquiao fan headquarters.
That's where I was and this is the story of that evening.
At about 6:30 p.m., I arrive at the Montalban Theater with my good friends Eric and Ryan.
Eskrima instructor and all around bad ass Arnold Noche showed up a few minutes later and all of us got hooked up with the VIP wristbands thanks to Joel Jacinto and Winston Emano. Thanks guys!
Eric, Ryan, and Arnold (and Florante in the back)
As we entered the lobby of the theater, Nike was selling the Manny Pacquiao "MP" t-shirt along with the Nike PACMAN KNOWS shirt.
I purchased a few shirts and went into the VIP area. Belvedere Vodka was sponsoring the open bar so who am I to turn down free vodka drinks. I drank… and drank… and drank.
Come fight time, I was so drunk that I felt like I was at the MGM Grand arena with the amount of yelling I was doing at the screen. A few more friends joined up with us at the fight and partook in some of the Belvedere as well.
The Montalban theater cheered with each connecting punch and erupted when Oscar De La Hoya chose not to continue the fight. I jumped out of my chair yelling my ass off as if I just won the lottery. Then the Belvedere cocktail girl walked in front of me and I took a few more of those drinks to celebrate the win.
I stumbled my way out of the theater surrounded by a mob of exuberant Filipinos – an energy I haven't seen from a concentrated group of Pinoys since EDSA 1! It was time to celebrate with my drunken stupor so we did what any other group of Pinoys would do… we went to go get some food!
Eric drove us over to Sanamluang in Hollywood for some late night Thai eats.
Ryan ordered some spicy thai noodles with shrimp…
while Eric and I both got the Pork BBQ over rice plate.
We finished our meals but the night was still young and I was still drunk. There was more celebrating to do. I then thought about all the crap that people in the media were saying about Manny Pacquiao.
Bernard Hopkins: "De La Hoya Will Knock Pacquiao Out. Manny Pacquiao is such a tremendous athlete. But he is facing the fox. The fox knows how to eat his lunch even if it is not yet served. The fox knows how to outsmart everybody, and Oscar is that fox. Pacman is 100 percent offense. He has questionable defense. That's how I look at it. Oscar will stop him in the eight or ninth round!"
Yep, too bad you couldn't outsmart or outbox Joe Calzaghe.
Floyd Mayweather, Sr.: "Oscar is going to beat the dog shit out of Pacquiao. Oscar is going to rearrange his fuckin' face man, believe me. Oscar is going to turn him over man. He's going to turn him all the way over – compared to him, he's a giant. When he hit his ass, he's going to know he's a giant,"
Yep, and you wonder why your son doesn't listen to you anymore.
And of course there's Oscar: "I will be extremely, extremely disappointed if this fight doesn't end in a knockout. It will be a total disaster."
I couldn't have agreed more.
Manny is a class act and is not a trash talker or a gloater. It's just not something that's in his nature. But I was pumped full of vodka and I don't really give a f-ck so I felt it was time to do some gloating. I convinced Ryan and Eric that we needed to go to downtown Los Angeles, wear our Pacquiao shirts, and take photos in front of Oscar De La Hoya's statue with the Filipino flag, a magic mic and the turkey that Manny gave me.
Well, we picked up Ryan's brother Ross and got to Staples Center only to find out that the De La Hoya statue was not 100% complete and was not on the premises as it was being worked on. And there we were with all this stuff and no De La Hoya statue.
So we said screw it, we took pictures with the Magic Johnson and Wayne Gretzky statues.
Here's Eric, Drunk Moonie holding a magic mic, the Magic Johnson statue, and a frozen turkey in a xoom bag.
And one with the Great Gretzky statue
It was about 11pm and I was starting to get sober but I felt cheated that I didn't get to hold my Filipino flag in front of a Mexican American icon in a symbol of some form of retarded victory. So I convinced Ryan, Ross and Eric that we needed to find some places to hold the flag up in victory. We drove around L.A. and decided to end the evening taking these photos.
Location 1!
Notice the Pinoy in the background eating his food and laughing at us.
Location 2!
And finally…
And if you were out partying on Saturday night and didn't DVR Saturday Night Live, then you missed the latest music video from Andy Samburg. Here it is for your enjoyment. It's awesome.

Funny read… but WHAT?!! No De La Hoya statue at Staples Center?!? But it was there when I was at the Staples Center on Monday (12/2) for a LA Kings hockey game! Staples Center must've taken down the De La Hoya statue a few days before the fight to avoid vandalism. Interesting!

We understand your concerns about the Coronavirus and have been closely monitoring the situation. | LEARN MORE
Are you looking for a dentist who can give you porcelain veneers to craft the smile you have always been dreaming about? Do you have broken or stained teeth in your mouth that you are wishing can be fixed with a single treatment? Perhaps you just want to close those embarrassing gaps between your teeth. We would love to speak with you about improving your smile with veneers.
Cosmetic porcelain veneers are perhaps your best solution to the problem you are facing. Regardless of whether you want to replace your old veneers or are interested in getting veneers for the first time, your trusted dentist in Abilene TX will craft a flawless smile you can be proud to show off. Dentists often recommend porcelain veneers to transform smiles and help people who have stained teeth or serious dental issues like chipped and broken teeth, gaps and misshapen teeth.
Let Your Smile Shine
Schedule a consultation today!
Porcelain veneers use a shell type material made from porcelain that is placed at the front of your tooth. They are created by using porcelain because it makes them strong, resistant to stains and durable. However, it will be dependent on the oral care you exercise.
We normally can deliver veneers to you in just two office visits. During your first appointment, the dentist will prepare or reshape the teeth involved. Preparation ensures the proper fit and strongest bond.
After the preparation of the tooth is completed, an impression of your teeth will be taken. The impression will be sent to our onsite laboratory for the fabrication of your porcelain veneers by a ceramist. Meanwhile, you will be able to leave the dentist office with temporary veneers.
You will be fully able to view and embrace your new smile during the second appointment with your dentist. The temporary veneers will be removed, and the permanent veneers fixed after ensuring a concise fit and that they are the perfect color and the shape you desire. If no changes are required your dental veneers will be permanently fixed with a bonding agent to the front of your teeth to give you a flawless and beautiful smile.
We are committed to delivering the results you want to increase your confidence and self-esteem in line with the dental needs you have. If you are ready to transform your life with porcelain veneers, you should be calling your dentist for an evaluation. The evaluation will include the following:
If any of the above sounds familiar, if you have any questions about veneers, or if you are ready to schedule a consultation with your Abilene veneers dentist, Dr. Leedy or Dr. Green at Leedy Dental, give us a call today at (325) 268-0013 or schedule a visit online!
Fill out this form and our team willget back to you the following business day.
