An Indian engineer, Saddam Hussain, claims he cannot get a job because of his infamous almost-namesake: the late Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.
The 25-year-old said he had received upwards of 40 job rejections since graduating as a marine engineer. And he lays the blame squarely at his grandfather's door for naming him after Saddam Hussein 11 years before US and British forces entered Baghdad.
"People are scared to hire me," Hussain, from Jamshedpur, told the Hindustan Times. Despite graduating second in his 2014 class at Tamil Nadu's Noorul Islam University he has not found employment.
After watching his peers secure jobs around the world he decided to probe HR departments as to why his applications were falling short. "Some of them told me my name was the problem," he said.
For more than two decades Saddam Hussein ruled Iraq with an iron fist, committing numerous atrocities on his subjects. The young Saddam's Indian grandfather appears to have admired the dictator from afar and gave his grandson the name hoping he would become a "positive" human being.
Saddam says he still loves his grandfather but he resents bearing the brunt of his foolish choice of name. "I am an innocent victim of somebody else's crimes," he said.
His choice of career has further hampered the misfortune bestowed upon him by his relative. Marine engineers spend much of their working lives on vessel's travelling between international maritime boundaries.
Firms are wary of the operational difficulties entailed by having a crew member called Saddam Hussain – even if it is not an exact match of the man who was executed in 2006.
A leading recruitment consultant told the Hindustan Times: "If the issue involves crossing the borders, then nothing can be done as border patrol and airport authorities are very process-driven and if there is a red flag, they will check out.
"If the person's job involves frequent travel abroad, he might just keep getting stuck or the company has to pull him out of the sticky situation, making the hire cumbersome."
At his wits end, Saddam changed his name to Sajid hoping that this would improve his fortunes but it has not been straightforward. When firms ask to see his educational certificates he is unable to produce documents that match his new name.
He has appealed to have his name changed on his school and university transcripts but the process has been slow moving. The Indian Central Board of Secondary Education has a reputation for excessive red tape. Finally, last week, a hearing was set for 5 May.

Change to blog, thoughts on NCAA semifinals, finals?
By Cindy Luis
Happy to report that you can now post without waiting on me to approve it. Think it will be soooo much better since I'm not online 24-7. AND I'll be traveling for most of the next two weeks with sparse internet connection.
Please remember the guidelines: no profanity, no cheap shots.
So I underestimated Stanford … maybe overestimated CSUN … last Saturday. Really thought the Matadors could pull it out for a third time this season. But think losing Set 2 the way they did was a direct hit to their collective psyche.
I expect it to be an all-MPSF final… again .. on Saturday. Penn State has had some bad losses. Although I think PSU coach Pavlik is one of the nicest guys in the game, just don't see the Nittany Lions winning this on. And Ohio State was very fortunate to get past Loyola last week.
Saturday final. Can't see how the Cardinal could be denied. Kawika Shoji deserves this. I did think he should have gotten the MPSF player of the year over Lawson. but setters seem to be undervalued, odd since quarterbacks in football get so much glory.

Excel s Business Tools: What-If Analysis
- Benjamin French
- 3 years ago
- Views:
1 Excel s Business Tools: Introduction is an important aspect of planning and managing any business. Understanding the implications of changes in the factors that influence your business is crucial when it comes to making important business decisions. What would be the effect of an increase in your costs, or if turnover rose or fell by a certain amount? How would a change in interest rates or exchange rates affect your profits? Excel offers some easy-to-use tools to save time doing your calculations and help you make more accurate forecasts. This tutorial uses the simple example of a cash loan to demonstrate some of these tools. It makes use of Excel's PMT Function to calculate repayments on a loan, then shows how you can use the Goal Seek tool to manipulate variables such as the amount borrowed, repayment period and interest rate to arrive at a desired result. You will see how to use Data Tables to display a large number of calculations employing one or two variables and finally use Conditional Formatting to present the results in an easily understandable way. The screenshots in this document were taken in Excel 2010 and apply equally to Excel Most features also apply to Excel The PMT Function The PMT function is used to calculate the repayments on a loan based on a constant interest rate. It can accept up to five arguments. The first three are required and often only these are used: Rate The interest rate expressed as a percentage (you use the percent sign when entering the rate into the cell). When entering this argument you need to take account of the frequency of the payments. For example, if the payments are monthly this value should be divided by 12 when entered into the function. Nper The total number of payments for the loan. For example, for a loan repaid monthly over a period of 3 years this value would be 36 (i.e. 36 months). Pv The present value. This represents what the total value of the loan is worth now (i.e. how much is to be borrowed). Enter this as a minus value so that the function returns a positive value for the repayments. There are two additional optional arguments: Fv The future value. Enter a value here if you want to end the loan period with a cash balance (i.e. it is not being paid off completely to zero). Omit this value if the entire amount borrowed is to be repaid. Type Usually repayments are made at the end of each period, in which case this argument is omitted. Enter 1 if the repayment is made at the beginning of the period. An example of the function is illustrated below (Fig.1). Fig.1 Using the Insert Function tool to enter a PMT function. Martin Green 1
2 The Goal Seek Tool The Goal Seek tool allows you to determine what value a particular argument needs to hold so that that a function will return a specified value. In this example the PMT function has calculated that a loan of 20,000 over 60 months at an interest rate of 6.8% per annum will require a monthly repayment of Using the Goal Seek tool you can find out, for example, how much money you could borrow if the repayments were only 350 per month. Essentially, you tell Excel what you want the answer to be and which value it can change to achieve that. 1. Open the Goal Seek tool by going to the Data tab then choosing and Goal Seek. 2. In the Goal Seek dialog box specify which cell will display the desired value. To do this click in the Set cell: textbox then click on the cell that displays the result of your calculation. This cell must contain a calculation (a formula or function). 3. Type the value that you want the calculation to return in the To value: textbox. 4. Specify which cell contains a value that Excel can change in order to arrive at the desired result. Do this by clicking in the By changing cell: textbox then clicking on the cell that contains the value that you are allowing Excel to change. This cell must be one of the values used, directly or indirectly, in the calculation. 5. Click the OK button to perform the Goal Seek. When you click OK Excel calculates the required value and opens a new dialog box to display the result. It also inserts a new value into the specified cell so that the calculation now displays the required result (Fig.2). Click OK to accept the new value or Cancel to restore the original value on the worksheet. Fig.2 Using the Goal Seek tool to arrive at a specified value. The Goal Seek tool is very useful and saves a lot of trial and error when trying to forecast the result of changes to your calculations, but it is limited to changing only one variable at a time. To see the result of a changing input over a range of values would require you to run Goal Seek many times and record the input values and results for each. (Excel s Solver Add-In can be used for working with more than one variable but is a very much more complex tool to use.) Fortunately, Excel has another tool to help simplify that job, the Data Table. Martin Green 2
3 Data Tables Excel's Data Table tool provides a quick and easy way to perform "what if" analysis. It is used to create a range of cells called the data table. The values displayed in the data table represent the result of changing certain input variables in your calculation. You can specify what those changing variables are and the range of input values that is used to create the table. Calculations can contain many input variables. The data table tool can be used to represent changes in one or two of them. As with the Goal Seek example, this example also uses the PMT function to demonstrate data tables. Although this is a simple example remember that data tables can be used with any calculation that has a variable input. You might want to vary any of the values used by the PMT function. The length of the repayment period can be changed to suit your budget. Perhaps you want to compare the interest rates of different lenders. Or maybe you would consider changing the amount of the loan so that you could determine the optimum term and monthly payment. To examine the effect of changing one of these variables use a Single Variable Data Table. To compare the effect of changing two of the variables use a Two Variable Data Table. The Single Variable Data Table First create your initial function. If you wish to locate your data table elsewhere on the worksheet simply place a copy of the original function where you want it to start. In this example the function is situated in cell C7. You should position the function on the worksheet so that there is space in the column below it and also to the left. Suppose you want to see the effect of different loan amounts (e.g. from 15,000 to 30,000). Enter the list of values in the column that is to the left of the initial function, and starting in the row below it (in this example cell A8) remembering to express the values in the same way as in the initial function. Now select the block of data that contains the original function and the column of values you just entered, on the Data tab of the ribbon choose then Data Table to open the Data Table tool. Click in the textbox marked Column input cell then click on the cell in that supplied the value in the initial function that corresponds to the column of values you entered (Fig.3). In this example it is cell B1 (the Loan Amount). Finally, click OK to dismiss the dialog and create the table (Fig.4). Here the result cells have been formatted to show only two decimal places. Fig.3 Creating a single variable data table. Fig.4 A single variable data table The Two-Variable Data Table When comparing two different variables you need to provide a column and a row of variable values. This time enter the column of values directly beneath the initial function (here starting in Martin Green 3
4 cell B8) and the row immediately to the right of the initial function (here starting in cell C7). In this example the second variable is the duration of the loan or Term in months (e.g. from 3 to 12 years expressed as 36 to 144 months). Select the block of cells to include the initial function and the row and column of variable values and open the data table tool. In this example the Row input cell is the one containing the Term in the initial function (cell B3) (Fig.5). The Column input cell, representing the Loan Amount, is the same as before (cell B1). Fig.5 Creating a two-variable data table. As before, click OK to dismiss the dialog and create the table (Fig.6). Fig.6 A two-variable data table. Martin Green 4
5 Conditional Formatting The mass of figures in a large data table can make it difficult to read but this can be made a lot easier with the aid of Conditional Formatting. Unlike regular formatting, conditional formatting can change the appearance of a cell according to the value displayed in it. Consider the example of a two-variable table shown in the section on Data Tables. Suppose your criteria for a loan were that the monthly repayment was between 300 and 350. There are numerous cells in the table whose values fall in that range but it is difficult to find them, and the table will change if any of the other variables in the calculation are changed. It s an ideal candidate for conditional formatting. In this example (Fig.7) three different conditional formats have been applied to the data table. Cells displaying values greater than 350 are shown in red (these are beyond the upper end of my price range I can t afford them); cells displaying values less that 300 are shown in yellow (these are below the lower end of my price range I can afford a higher payment); and cells whose values fall between 300 and 350 are shown in green (these are the ones I am interested in). Fig.7 Three level conditional formatting applied to a data table. To apply this kind of conditional formatting: 1. Select the cells to be formatted. 2. Go to the Data tab and click the Conditional Formatting button then choose Highlight Cells Rules then Greater Than 3. In the Greater Than dialog box enter a value above which the cells should display a certain format, in this example 350. Notice that as you do so Excel displays a preview of the chosen format on your data (Fig.8). 4. Choose a preset format from the drop-down list (in this example Light Red Fill with Dark Red Text was chosen) or choose Custom Format and devise your own format. 5. Click OK to apply the first format rule and close the dialog box. Leave the cells selected. 6. Repeat the procedure on the same range of cells, this time choose Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Less Than and in the Less Than dialog box enter 300 and choose Yellow Fill with Dark Yellow Text. 7. Click OK to apply the second format rule and close the dialog box. Leave the cells selected. 8. Repeat the procedure on the same range of cells and choose Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Between and in the Between dialog box enter 300 and 350 and choose Green Fill with Dark Green Text. 9. Finally, click OK to apply the third format rule and close the dialog box. 10. When you deselect the cells you should now have a formatted range of cells looking something like that shown here (Fig.7). You don t have to apply several different formats. You may just want to highlight cells that satisfy a particular condition. When applying multiple conditional formats you are not limited to just three conditions as in this example. You can add as many as you need but remember to apply all your formats to the same range of cells. Make sure that your format rules do not conflict. For example, if you choose Greater than 100 as one rule and Greater Than 200 as another rule, which of the rules should apply to a cell showing a value of 250 since both rules apply? (You can in fact specify a rule for this dilemma Martin Green 5
6 using the Manage Rules tool but if you are new to conditional formatting it is best to avoid conflicts in the first place!) Fig.8 Applying conditional formatting. In addition to using regular formatting tools such as cell fill colours and font colours as in the previous example, Excel offers a range of Icon Sets, Data Bars and Colour Scales to denote specified cell values. You can apply these directly to your data but it is more likely that you will want to specify your own particular conditions. Excel allows you to do this using the Manage Rules tool. Using Custom Conditional Formats Using the previous example, you might choose to apply the Traffic Light icon set instead of fill and font formatting. To do this first apply your chosen icon set by going to Conditional Formatting > Icon Sets and choose an icon set from the list, in this case the three-colour traffic light set. Excel applies the icon set to the data but at the same time applies its own rule for which value range each colour represents (Fig.9). NOTE: When you apply an icon set you might find that your cell values are replaced by hash marks (#####). This simply means that in order to make room for the icon the number cannot be properly displayed. Simply widen each column to allow the values to be shown. To specify your own rules go to Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules. In the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager select your chosen rule and click Edit Rule (Fig.9). Fig.9 Editing an Icon Set rule. Martin Green 6
7 Because there are three icon colours in this set Excel has created its own rule dividing the range of values into three by percent (>=67% green, <67% and >=33% yellow, <33% red) but I want the colours to apply to specific numerical ranges and in a different order with red representing the highest values. In the Edit Formatting Rule dialog I could simply click the Reverse Icon Order button but this would make the middle range yellow and I want that one to be green, the same as I had in the previous example. Fortunately Excel lets me specify which icon applies to each range. Making sure that Format all cells based on their values is selected, all I have to do is select the appropriate icon from the Icon dropdown, choose my operator (>= or >) and enter a value in the Value box and choose Number from the Type dropdown (Fig.10). Fig.10 Creating a custom conditional formatting rule. After clicking OK to dismiss the dialogs and apply the modified rule the data appears with the same colours as before but using traffic light icons instead of fill and font colours (Fig.11). Fig.11 Data displayed using a custom Icon Set rule. NOTE: If you know that you are going to need to customize your formatting rules you can go straight to the Edit Formatting Rule dialog by choosing Conditional Formatting > New Rule. Martin Green 7

Cake, Cake and More cake
I'm amazed that we even got through it all, It feels like such a blur!
Here's the run down, last to first.
Brewer Motorcycle Cake:
This cake was made for our Pastor, in celebration of his birthday! It was requested so that it could be presented just before the "roast" at his surprise party this evening. Since he rides a Honda Goldwing, this was the natural choice!
This was probably the most fun we've had working on a cake. We had to do it all (including the baking) in one evening because we had 5 other cakes this week AND two birthday parties Friday and Saturday. We started working on the decorating at 8 pm last night and got about 95% done by 3:30 am. We were both furiously making engine pieces, seats, headlights...but it was a lot of fun and I want to say that this might be the best cake we have ever done! It was also great to see the cake presented ... but I had to cut it! I never do that!
A few more of the motorcycle:
The only two non-edible pieces were the antenna (floral wire) and the windshield, which we cut from some plastic packaging.
Ryan Twins birthday cakes
These cakes were created for our very good friends twin boy and girl, Bailey and Morgan (who also happen to be very good friends with Rylee). (Bailey and Morgan are also Pastor Brewer's grandchildren - lots of Brewer cakes this week!)
Their birthday party was held at My Gym (we miss it there!) and was Olympic themed. We came up with a cake for each of them supporting this theme -Morgan would have a ball pit cake and Bailey would have a trampoline cake.
Morgan's cake is 2, 10 inch square chocolate cakes that had the middle carved out. The "balls" are mini jaw-breakers (that weren't very hard) and the staircase was made from rice krispy treats. The "Morgan" figure is all fondant, which I made last week (I made both of the twin's figures last week, thank goodness!)
Bailey's cake is 2, 10 inch round vanilla cakes. The trampoline is fondant, as is the trampoline legs. I had a dilemma in trying to figure out what to put around the cake since the party was being held inside. I didn't want to do the entire cake in black (like a normal trampoline in a gym would most likely look like) so I went ahead and decorated it as if it were outside. Besides, all little girls love flowers!
This cake gave me soooooooooo many problems. I'm sure you can all see the little icing cracks. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Jaclyn's cakes
These cakes were made for our friend Jaclyn, for her daughter's first birthday!
The main cake is vanilla (bottom tier) and strawberry (top tier) with vanilla buttercream and fondant details. The smash cake is vanilla with vanilla buttercream and a fondant bow topper. I had a lot of fun with this cake. I love the fun colors and the I'm very pleased with how the the bow turned out.
Amy's cake
Last but not least, we end this crazy week with the cake that started it off!
For our good friend Amy, in celebration of her birthday. It's 6 inches of entirely chocolate (including the topper - white chocolate with silver dragees) and fondant polka dots.
Love the colors on this cake!!
What an insane week we have had! Despite Bailey's cake which hated me, everything seemed to go off very smoothly.
I think September might be dubbed "Busy-tember."
Two more cakes this week, three the next.

When I opened your blog to look at your latest creations, all I could say was OMG! I swear they are all beautiful. ALMOST....I said it almost makes me want to cake decorate again. The motorcycle is stunning. I love the others, too. You are really perfecting your talent.

Young producer who took over the family vineyard in 2000, Pierre-Emmanuel Janoueix mainly produces Montagne-Saint-Emilion (Château La Bastienne) and Pomerol (Château Pierhem) wines, whose quality has already been awarded. Since his beginnings, Pierre-Emmanuel opted for a rigorous and quality work, with the ambition to prove that Montagne-Saint-Emilion are great wines. He took a quite particular care to renew his wine storehouses of Montagne and Pomerol, as well as his vineyards. To reveal at best the personality and the elegance extracted from his terroirs, he chose to produce 100 % Merlot wines.

Can Kids Thrive in a Foreign Environment?
Park Slope kids attend school in Russia
Clifford J. Levy's story in this week's New York Times Magazine is fascinating. When the Times placed him in Moscow, he and his wife had to find a school for their three kids. Rather than finding spaces for them in an international school with the kids of other foreign correspondents and dignitaries and such, Levy wanted his kids to get more out of living in Russia.
They chose Novaya Gumanitarnaya Shkola, or, the New Humanitarian School, which was all Russian, all the time. And, just like an ignorant North American might assume, the kids were ranked, with rankings displayed for the whole school to see. Why this school?
"It promised an enlightened and innovative interpretation of the classic Soviet education — all the rigor, without the suffocating conformity. Moscow progressives! Maybe the transition wouldn't be too rocky.
We were, of course, naïve. New Humanitarian, which runs kindergarten through high school, was still rooted in Russia's educational and societal traditions. Students recite by heart from Pushkin's "Yevgeny Onegin" ("My uncle was a man of virtue. . . .") and tackle algebra as early as fourth grade. Children older than 9 are regularly rated, based on test scores. Student rankings are posted on a central wall for all to gawk at, like the latest sports stats."
But, like kids do, Levy's adapted. Their accepted and clumsy Russian got better. His eldest daughter threw herself into mathematics, since it was a non-language dependent subject. (Much like Kady Heron in Mean Girls. Kady: "It's the same in every country." Damian: "That's beautiful.")
New Humanitarian was founded by Vasiliy Georgievich Bogin, a man who values critical thinking above all else. Bogin didn't care what Levy's kids knew or didn't know, he cared about how they thought.
"He taught a required class called myshleniye, which means "thinking," as in critical thinking. It was based in part on the work of a dissident Soviet educational philosopher named Georgy Shchedrovitsky, who argued that there were three ways of thinking: abstract, verbal and representational. To comprehend the meaning of something, you had to use all three.
When I asked Bogin to explain Shchedrovitsky, he asked a question. "Does 2 + 2 = 4? No! Because two cats plus two sausages is what? Two cats. Two drops of water plus two drops of water? One drop of water."
New Humanitarian also had two or three curators for each grade. They're teachers who don't teach lessons, but observe classes, identify problems and help with homework.
After four years in Moscow, the Times moved Levy and his family back to Brooklyn. The kids were fluent, top of their classes and the younger two were hesitant to leave. (He said the older one was just excited to be a teenager in New York City… we can't really blame her)
Have you ever thrown your kids in the unknown, trusting that they'll figure it out? What would make you try a school that forces kids to look at problems from abstract, verbal and representation perspectives?

MooGoo Nappy Balm - Healing Infections with Zinc Oxide
One of the many challenges of topical steroid withdrawal in eczema sufferers is secondary infection. Somehow the excessive itching or even severe dryness that cause cracking of skin has created lesions and ulcers. Most infected sights will typically look like these few photos below
It is noticed that there is reduced lipid (oily) layer of the skin of eczema sufferers when compared to other people. Lipid barrier aids in preventing excessive loss of moisture and when this is reduced it simply means water is lost more rapidly making the skin drier, bringing on chronic itching. Other than that, sweating and high changes of temperature can cause an eczema skin to get worst.
Extreme dryness,plastic feeling skin and insane itching is also a much common condition in Topical Steroid Withdrawal. The reason for this is because many forget that topical steroids too can cause a secondary eczema on top of the one you already have. There are many names of this condition (steroid eczema) but most commonly known as steroid induced rosacea.
The exacerbating of the skin that undergoes constant scratching and becomes opened wound infection believed to be caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is a member of the Firmicutes, and is frequently found in the human respiratory tract and on the skin. damage to the skin or other injury may allow the bacteria to overcome the natural protective mechanisms of the body, leading to infection.
Staphylococcal disease of the skin usually results in a localized collection of pus, known as an abscess, boil, or furuncle, depending upon the exact type of lesion that is present. The affected area may be red, swollen, and painful. Drainage or pus is common. When Staph is in the blood (bacteremia or sepsis), it can cause high fevers, chills, and low blood pressure.
In both cases we had recommended zinc oxide. It seems that from our reading, Topical creams containing zinc oxide are helpful for atopic eczema as well as wound healing. Many skin conditions are related to zinc imbalances. These include acne, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and other cases of dermatitis. Zinc do help with wound healing, and helps give collagen and other tissues their elastic quality. Zinc oxide ointment is a folk remedy for skin disorders.
This was also noted in the study "Studies on zinc in wound healing." Agren MS. Acta Derm Venereol Suppl (Stockh). 1990; 154:1-36.
The inflammatory reaction was diminished in zinc treated wounds except when a high zinc sulfate concentration was applied
The anti-bacterial mechanism of zinc oxide seemed to be more indirect and to be mediated via local defense systems rather than being directly toxic to the bacteria
When zinc is applied on wounds it not only corrects a local zinc deficit but also acts pharmacologically
Zinc does have a major role in wound healing. It has excellent anti-inflammatory and drying properties which means that bacteria has less grounds to bread on. Normally, it is also required in a variety of enzymatic and cellular activities, but becomes increased in demand during the wound healing process. By providing zinc ions to the wound, these type of creams appear to enhance the wound healing process and allow them to remain there for an extended time. In addition, Zinc oxide are also helpful in blocking irritants from in contact with skin, minimizing infection and promoting healing.
We have also advised our members to consume Probiotics to enhance their immune system to ward of the infection (probiotics helps to provide a much more balanced gut flora), to eat less complex carbs and low sugar diets during healing (since immune cells do not work efficiently when blood sugar levels are high) and to eat high anti oxidant foods from fruits and vegetables. Most members are already taking Olivenol Plus which contains a substance called Hydroxytyrosol that not only helps to promote the healing of wounds and skin conditions but has anti-inflammatory properties
Here are the results after using zinc oxide creams:
We would not think this would be the first time we had asked our group members to use the MooGoo Nappy Balm to help with these conditions. It has really worked in the past, but we never pin pointed or dig deeper into the science. Now that we have, we are extremely lucky that such natural and chemical free product is available at our expense. Our members continued to use the Nappy Balm for a few days (2-3) until wounds were no longer weepy and looked dry, then continues to use the MSM Soothing Cream that contains organic sulfur called Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane. Sulfur is needed for the proper synthesis of collagen. Collagen is what helps skin goes back to its original form. We have also noted that some dermatologist have actually suggested the use of zinc oxide ointment and that the patient found the cream in the "diaper cream section". Well this does not come to our suprise :)
Caution :
Please ensure that you are not allergic to Zinc Oxide before trying this method.

As I had posted last year, I took the Long Range 1 class with my M107 50 cal in Blakely, GA April 2014. Thanks to opportunity to shoot other students guns (all but the Rec 7 where there) and the instructors MRAD, I ordered an MRAD in FDE. I took Long Range 2 in Raton, NM with my MRAD in June 2014 and had another amazing experience. I ordered the barrel conversion to .308 too and purchased another MRAD 300 WM in MRB and have enjoyed that one just as much.
I just repeated Barrett Long Range 1 class given at the Academi location to further improve my experience with and knowledge of my Barrett rifles. Upon arriving I saw Mr. Ross Viator who had assisted Mr. William Riba in last year's class and again he was an excellent instructor. Also present was Mr. Jeff Burch, Director, US Commercial Sales for Barrett who carried and transmitted a wealth of information on all our Barrett products (M107's, M82's, M99, M95 and MRAD). I inquired about the new Proof Research carbon fiber MRAD barrels and he answered every question in detail and expertise. The class was run in a professional but friendly manner and because we had such a good group we moved quickly through both the class material and range time. Just as in my first class, I had the opportunity to try different Barrett platforms, I offered my MRAD for all the other students to experience as well. I had a great time, reinforced my understanding of the material, practiced at a top notch facility and got instruction from two very knowledgeable teachers.
I am already confirmed to return to Raton, NM again this June for Barrett Long Range 2 for my second time in that class. The challenge is greater and the experience is too. I look forward to seeing Barrett's instructors there again for further advancement of my shooting education.
And I have ordered a carbon fiber barrel conversion for my MRAD's in 260 Remington and some of their excellent scope rings for my other rifles too. It is such a pleasurable experience and I have seen 3 pairs of father/sons taking the class together that I wish to do the same. In my case though, it will be one of my daughters accompanying me.
Thank you all at Barrett, from designers, to trainers, to sales and customer service.

Robbie Keane's top five goals for Tottenham
"There's always speculation that I'm going here, there and everywhere but I'm very content with my life and with my time at Spurs, I will continue to play there for as long as I am happy and for as long as I am wanted. It's good to have a summer off but then I look forward to going back to Spurs next season." – Robbie Keane, May 28, 2008.
With pictures coming through in recent hours of Robbie Keane at Liverpool's training ground, it seems the long-rumoured move is on. Spurs fans will no doubt be bitter that the Irishman has left for a "bigger club," but it is important to remember that Keane established himself as a true great at White Hart Lane.
In six years Keane scored over 100 goals and was always a class act, even in the darker days before Martin Jol and Juande Ramos. In tribute to Keane's time at Spurs, here are his top five goals from his time in North London.
1. Robbie Keave v Chelsea, March 20, 2008
2. Robbie Keane v Blackburn Rovers, March 5, 2006
3 & 4. Robbie Keane v Fulham, February 18, 2007: Two superb identical volleys scored in the 6th minute and the 68th minute of the FA Cup tie.
5. Robbie Keane v Birmingham City, April 5, 2003

Videogame platformers have evolved. In the early days, the action was strictly focused on driving the player from one end of a stage to another, collecting items, and kicking some butt along the way. The majority dared to be cute, cuddly, and full of color, and the point was just as much about earning a high score as it was saving a damsel in distress. As console gaming later burst into the realm of 3D, the stereotypical cartoony nature of the genre stuck, but the gameplay action evolved to became much more vast and diverse. Landscapes were now becoming less linear and puzzle elements more generous. Gamers have watched this very same pattern unfold with Ubi Soft's beloved Rayman franchise during the first two titles, and in this brand-new third iteration, the trend of platforming evolution continues in many great ways.
Rayman was born as a relatively cute, limbless, and friendly 2D character nearly a decade ago on the ill-fated Jaguar system, but most gamers will probably better remember his 1996 debut on the original PlayStation. His spiky hair and floating appendages defined a style for the France-based publisher/developer Ubi Soft that stuck in the hearts of fans -- despite the fact that he's French. In his sequel, The Great Escape, Rayman dazzled gamers with what is still regarded by many here at IGN as one of the absolute best platforming titles of all time. The game was as gorgeous, stylish, and well balanced as platforming games have ever been.
And now, the happy hero returns in his first original Rayman adventure in over three years. In fact, Ubi Soft has been in development of the title for well beyond four years now, and our expectations were running increasingly high with each passing month. Now, the time of release is finally upon us, and Rayman fans around the world will be thrilled to learn that episode three, Hoodlum Havoc, is every bit the quality action title that Ubi Soft prides itself on releasing. However, die-hard fans of the previous Great Escape hit will need to realize that Rayman, like the platforming genre of late, has evolved with the times -- be it for the better or worse.
Go ahead and blame it on Conker if you want, but Rayman is no longer the ultra-pure character that we all remember. In Hoodlum Havoc the first thing you'll notice is that the game has matured -- as mentioned: be it for the better or worse -- in both style and humor. Levels are now darker, jokes are much more sarcastic, and to be totally honest -- we love it.
Rayman 3's style is still far from the raunchy depths pushed by the likes of Rare's Conker's Bad Fur Day on the N64, but the inspiration is quite obvious. In the opening level alone, we hear jokes by Rayman's longtime friend Murfy as he whips out the game's instruction manual and says, "Blah, blah, blah ... Who writes this stuff, anyway?" The game never stops poking fun at the fact that you're playing a Rayman videogame, with other follow-up quips such as, "You were much nicer in Rayman 2," -- as we accidentally punch poor Globox in the belly -- "It's almost like you've never played a videogame before," and our personal favorite, "C'mon, you haven't scored yet -- I hope you have better luck with the ladies."
The fact is, Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is now influenced more by its own offshoot, the Rayman cartoon, than anything else. The new characters, their voices, their insane, chaotic mannerisms and honestly funny dispositions come from the cartoon itself. Where is that cartoon shown? Heck, Canada, France, we don't know, but we have caught a few videos that clearly bridge the gap between game and TV.
The storyline in this new quest has been told countless times in our earlier preview coverage, but for those who still have no idea what the heck a "Hoodlum" is, then listen up. Rayman lives in a peaceful world populated with lovable critters known as "Lums." Our story takes shape as one of the more evil Lums, known as the Dark Lum Chief, is accidentally swallowed by your good buddy Globox. The poor guy was just trying to save Rayman from certain death, but now he's forced to live life with the evil Lum Chief bouncing around inside his belly. To make matters worse, evil Lums crave plum juice; hence, Globox is forced to put aside his plum allergies and suck it down to appease the angry parasite. The resulting Globox antics are quite entertaining, ranging from drunken belches to gas-inflated ballooning. As his good friend, Rayman takes it upon himself to find a doctor to cure big blue bozo and cease his incessant moaning as he trails behind your path.

A Brief Introduction about Hajj
June 12, 2013
Mohamadi Quadri
Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the greatest religious observances in Islam. I have summarized few salient features about the sacred custom by extracting information from various Islamic websites.
Hajj is an Arabic word which means "pilgrimage" .Every year, millions of Muslims, from different parts of the world gather in Mecca to offer hajj. Hajj is performed in Dhu al-hijjah, the twelfth and last month of Muslim calendar. Hajj is obligatory for every Muslim once in a lifetime; if they are able to afford the expenses and are physically fit. Hajj is offered with a series of rituals.
Ancient Background
The building of the Ka'bah was by Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael (Peace be upon them). This house was named "Kabah" after its cubic shape. It is the center point for Muslims all over the world. When a Muslim wants to pray, he/she must face Qiblah - the direction towards Makkah. When Abraham (Peace be upon him) finished the construction of Ka'bah, he called people to Hajj and prayed to Allah to bless Makkah and its vicinity and to make people come visit it until the Day of Judgment though it was remote and in the desert.
Types of Hajj
In this type of Hajj a pilgrim performs both Umrah and Hajj. It is for people who come from far places, long time before Hajj. So, these people when enter Mecca for hajj should wear ihram and do the intention of umrah. Then again on eight day of Dhul-Hijja, he/she again wears the ihram with the intention of hajj, before this they shave or clip the hair. It is obligatory to sacrifice an animal in this type of Hajj.
In this type of Hajj, a pilgrim wears ihram with intention of performing Umrah and Hajj both. It is for people who arrive to Mecca, short time before hajj. Animal sacrifice is obligatory in this type of hajj.
This Hajj is done with single-intention. A pilgrim wears Ihram for intention of Hajj, when he/she enters Mecca. This type of hajj is permitted for only locals of Makah. Animal sacrifice is not compulsory. Umrah can be done any time in the year, but Hajj is to be offered, only from 8-12th of Dhu al-hijjah.
Essence of Hajj
Every ritual in any religion has its own spirit and moral, if done with sense of reality will surely gives peace of mind and a way for salvation.
In Islam, Hajj is one of the most significant worship, after performing Hajj, all the sins of a person are forgiven and he/she becomes pure like a newborn baby. Hajj is considered as the father of all worships. The day of ARAFAAT portrays complete devotion and is a rehearsal of the Judgment day. Hajj teaches a person sacrificing physically and financially in the way of Almighty. Hajj also helps a person to purify his/her soul. Hajj recalls a person about the life after the death, when he wears the Ihram. Ihram is special dress prescribed to be worn for pilgrims for couple of days, which is a white colored seamless garment, exactly like a shroud. All people of different race, color, status, gather in Hajj with same garments, this develops a spirit of unity. It is a manifestation of brotherhood and equality.
Hajj is an act of Worship not tourism or promenade for rich people. It requires physical and spiritual preparation and sincere commitment to obedience of the Lord.

crush him with honours. He must be no longer Tribune of the People. Give him the Patrician title of Senator, and he is then the Lieutenant of the Pope!"
"I will see to this, my son -- your suggestions please, but alarm me: he shall at least be examined; -- but if found a heretic -- "
"Should, I humbly advise, be declared a saint."
The Pope bent his brow for a moment, but the effort was too much for him, and after a moment's struggle, he fairly laughed aloud.
"Go to, my son," said he, affectionately patting the Cardinal's sallow cheek. Go to. -- If the world heard thee, what would it say?
"That Giles d'Albornoz had just enough religion to remember that the State is a Church, but not too much to forget that the Church is a State."
With these words the conference ended. That very evening the Pope decreed that Rienzi should be permitted the trial he had demanded.
It wanted three hours of midnight, when Albornoz, resuming his character of gallant, despatched to the Signora Cesarini the following billet.
"Your commands are obeyed. Rienzi will receive an examination on his faith. It is well that he should be prepared. It may suit your purpose, as to which I am so faintly enlightened, to appear to the prisoner what you are -- the obtainer of this grace. See how implicitly one noble heart can trust another! I send

New numbers show traffic fatalities in New York City are on the rise. From July 2011 to June 2012, 291 people died in traffic accidents – a jump from the previous year's total of 236. It's the first time the number has seen a year-over-year increase since 2007, when 310 deaths occurred.
176 cyclists and pedestrians were killed, compared with 158 the previous year, according to the Mayor's Management Report. It's not clear what caused the rise in deaths, but Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan has an idea.
"I don't think that the iPhone has invented an app yet that will ping you when you hit a crosswalk," Ms. Sadik-Khan told The New York Times. "That break-up text can wait."
In 2010, distracted driving contributed to 9,200 traffic injuries and 41 fatalities in New York City, according to the DOT. Sadik-Khan says that drivers – and increasingly pedestrians – are paying too much attention to their phone screens when they should be watching the road.
In an effort to get people's attention, the city has launched a new safety campaign at about 110 intersections throughout the city where the word "LOOK!" is painted in big letters near curbs and inside crosswalks. The Os look like eyes and they're pointed in the direction of oncoming traffic.
But it's not just texting pedestrians causing all these accidents. In response to a recent flurry of cab-bike accidents, the city plans to move its LOOK! campaign into taxis to prevent a few of those all-too-common accidents where bikes crash into quickly opened doors.
Whether phone distractions really are the cause of this increase in road fatalities is difficult to prove. But officials in New York are hoping that the extra signage in the streets will divert more eyes off of screens and on to traffic.

Cities could get more people walking, biking, and riding transit, according to a new report, if they just know where to look for improvement.
Voters who supported L.A.'s Measure M may like transit, but they don't seem to want a city that's built for it.
