Sahwa movement
|Part of a series on:
Salafi movement
Sab'u Masajid, Saudi Arabia
|Islam portal
Sahwa Movement (Awakening movement) or Al–Sahwa Al-Islamiyya (Islamic Awakening) is a faction of Saudi Qutbism, an extremist jihadist Islamist ideology developed by Sayyid Qutb, the figurehead of the Muslim Brotherhood.[1] In Saudi Arabia, the Sahwa Movement has been involved in peaceful political reform. Safar Al-Hawali and Salman al-Ouda are representatives of this trend. Because of being active on social media they have earned some support amongst the more educated youth.[2][3]
This group opposed the presence of US troops on the Arabian peninsula.
Muslim Brotherhood members arrived in Saudi Arabia in the 1950s and 60s seeking refuge from persecution of Egyptian Socialist regime. They always had disputes with Wahhabism. Wahhabism and the Brotherhood influenced each other and this cross-pollination resulted in the birth of a hybrid movement of religious-political dissent known as the Sahwa movement. It reached a peak in the 1990s before being repressed by the Saudi establishment.[4]
Sahwa members write public petitions and circulate sermons on audio cassettes. Sahwa leaders demand a bigger role for clergy in governing, curbs on the royal family's privileges, greater transparency for public funds, and a more Islamically conservative society as a defense against Western cultural influences.[4]
They oppose the presence of US troops on the Muslim land. In 1991, al-Hawali delivered a sermon stating: "What is happening in the Gulf is part of a larger Western design to dominate the whole Arab and Muslim world."[5] The opponent groups, such as Madkhalis derogatorily label this group as Qutbis.

Arnold delighted as dominant Sky Blues thrash Wellington
Sydney FC boss Graham Arnold said it could have been 'eight or nine' but was pleased with his side's performance in a dominant 4-0 win over Wellington Phoenix on Friday night.
The Sky Blues easily brushed aside a disjointed Phoenix outfit at Allianz Stadium, with Alex Brosque, Adrian Mierzejewski, Milos Ninkovic and David Carney all finding the target.
The win extends Sydney's unbeaten run at home to 26 matches and Arnold admitted he's enjoying his side's entertaining brand of football.
"We played excellent tonight. You've got to give full credit to the boys," Arnold told Fox Sports.
"Some of the football was the best we've played since I've been at Sydney.
"It could have easily been more than four or five. It could have been eight or nine.
"The first half we missed three or four one on ones. The way we played tonight was very satisfying."
New Caltex Socceroos boss Bert van Marwijk was an interested onlooker at Allianz Stadium with Australia's friendlies against Colombia and Norway looming in March.
And Arnold revealed how van Marwijk's presence provided his players with a motivation boost ahead of the clash with Wellington.
"Tonight it was about all the Australian boys showing the national team coach their best performance," Arnold said.
"I was driving that all week. [I said] 'Bert's probably at the game with a clean sheet of paper and he needs to put some names on it. This is your opportunity'.
"I think a few of them took that opportunity."

Quick, quicker, quickest!
I attended #komfosummit and there was one little tiny thing that inspired me. This man mentioned that little thing.
David Schneider had a kick ass keynote about twitter – very entertaining! He showcased tons of great tweets and campaigns and all they had in common was timing, timing and humour. However he said one very interesting thing that I want to elaborate a little further on. He mentioned a WhatsApp group he had with a client where they quickly could get things approved and then move ahead! Very interesting actually!
This little thing made me think that we as consultants navigating in the digital world, we need to challenge our clients on being agile and quick – not within-office-hours-quick but quicker! Because we need to help them stay relevant, and relevance means being out there when things are going down – every second and every minute. Especially when it comes to doing things online – there's not really anything new here and within the field of crisis communication these methods are already default. However I just realised that we need to adopt this speed into our day to day digital strategy! I have never made a WhatsApp group with a client in order for them to respond within seconds, but I would definitely consider it, because we need to move even faster also on a business as usual kind of day!
Thanks for the inspiration – follow Mr. Schneider on twitter @davidschneider
Check out the Komfo Social Summit . I'm looking forward to see what they'll present next year. Rock on!

Use search function please. All the info found with Ł - refers to this site
As soon as the United States Government knew that the A-1 Polaris missile was work able, permission was given to build the first of a fleet of 41 submarines, each capable of launching 16 Polaris missiles. As each missile's H-Bomb warhead was equal in power to all the high-explosive bombs dropped in the Second World War, the deterrent effect of such a system was obvious. Before the end of 1957 two newly ordered attack submarines had been redesignated Polaris submarines. A further three followed in 1958, and the five became the George Washington Class, the first Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines
Nuclear Propulsion Power Plant
This diagram shows the basic components of the propulsion system of a nuclear submarine in the world. To mark their importance, both in size and purpose, they were also the first USN submarines to be named after people rather than reptiles or fishes.
The next class, the five Ethan Allen Class, differed principally in being properly designed for their task, rather than hurriedly adapted from a smaller type. They and the 31 Lafayette Class which followed from 1960 onwards were better arranged internally than the original George Washingtons, and had improvements such as quieter machinery, but they retain the basic layout of two rows of eight missile tubes abaft the "sail".
The news of the success of Polaris, after many pundits had said it would not be ready for another ten years, spurred the Soviet Navy on to develop a similar underwater deterrent. As we have seen, some of their conventional submersibles had been modified to fire two or three surface-to-surface missiles, but in 1958 work began on converting the first of ten "Z" Class to fire IRBMs. The same system was used as before, two or three tubes housed in the fin, which opened like a clam shell to allow firing. Thirty "G" Class were specially built for the job, and then came the nuclear powered "H" Class, still using the same system. Not until 1968 did the first news leak out of a Russian version of the Polaris system, when the "Y" Class appeared, with a very similar configuration to the American boats. Incidentally, all Russian class-designations are those assigned by NATO and bear no relation to what the Red Fleet may call them.
The first Russian nuclear hunter-killer submarines came into service between 1961 and 1963. Known in the West as the "N" or "November" Class, they numbered 15 units, and at least two were named. The Leninskii Komsomol emulated the Nautilus in the summer of 1962 by crossing the North Pole submerged, but in 1970 one of the class sank south-west of the British Isles. The "V" or "Victor" Class which followed were generally similar but greatly improved in detail, and the 12 in service command a high reputation in Western intelligence circles.
The next country to build nuclear submarines was Great Britain, which had been experimenting with nuclear energy for some years. To save time a reactor was bought from the United States in 1958, to power HMS Dreadnought, the Royal Navy's first "nuke", and the British reactor went into a second prototype, HMS Valiant, two years later. Since then a further two classes have been ordered, making a total of seven completed and four building. In 1963 it was announced that the Royal Navy would buy the A-3 Polaris weapon system from the United States and install it in their own hulls. These materialised in 1967-69 as the four Resolution Class, which replaced the RAF's bomber force as Great Britain's strategic deterrent.
France was hardly likely to allow the British to have an "independent", nuclear deterrent, but when the United States refused to supply Polaris missiles they went ahead with their own version, the MSBS M-1 (Mer-Sol-Balistique-Stratégique). A nuclear submarine had been laid down in 1958, but after being cancelled a year later she was redesigned as an experimental submarine to test the missiles and other equipment, and was appropriately named Gymnote after Gustave Zede's prototype. She fired the first ballistic missiles, but the first operational FBM, Le Redoutable, did not come into service until 1971.
Apart from the People's Republic of China, whose intentions remain inscrutable, the only other country to contemplate the huge expense of nuclear propulsion was Holland. However, the two hulls planned in the early 1960s were replaced by conventional submarines, leaving only four navies with nuclear submarines. Red China certainly has the capability to build both nuclear submarines and Polaris-type missiles, but apart from a mysterious sighting of an Albacore-hulled submarine under construction in 1969, nothing is known.
The US Navy has improved the firepower of its later FBM submarines by arming them with the more powerful Poseidon missile. Very similar in appearance to the A-3 Polaris, Poseidon is two feet wider in diameter and three feet taller, but this modest increase in dimensions conceals many differences. Poseidon has twice the payload, which allows it to carry multiple warheads; this makes counter-measures even harder than before, since each missile can have three possible targets. The modifications include alterations to the missile tubes and replacement of the fire control system.
Despite the clear advantages of nuclear propulsion, conventional submersibles are still being designed and built. Nor are they confined to the smaller navies who cannot afford the cost of nuclear boats, for a new class of Russian diesel-electric submarines has been seen. One reason for this is that nuclear propulsion makes very heavy demands on skilled personnel, quite apart from its cost, and another is that the size of present-day nuclear submarines makes them unsuitable for coastal waters. There are areas in which small submersibles can function more effectively than the big fleet types, and so there are a number of French. British and German designs available for sale to foreign buyers.
Today the submarine represents the most potent naval weapon available. The nuclear submarine in particular represents a terrible threat to all surface warships, for her speed enables her to close in, attack with a variety of weapons such as guided torpedoes or even missiles, and then withdraw at high speed. The awesome destructive power of Polaris has already been described, but its value is enhanced because, unlike any other submarine weapon, it can be fired at a range of 2,000 miles or more. Even today the old convoy maxim holds good, that an attack submarine must sooner or later approach her target, and thus risk a counter-attack; a Polaris submarine, on the other hand, avoids all contact, and so she has the world's oceans in which to hide.

Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds
New Post Goes Up Every Wednesday at 8:30pm ET
This blog has written about the the Van Gogh Museum, and the Van Gogh Letters before as two of the finest examples of a museum's adaptation and use of New Media technology to make art accessible – to everyone. Now, the Van Gogh Museum, in cooperation with FUJIFILM Belgium NV, has developed a special reliefography technique (think bas relief), called Relievo to produce exceptional quality 3d reproductions of some of Van Gogh's masterpieces.
The paintings are "Almond Blossom" (1890), "Sunflowers" (1889), "The Harvest" (1888), "Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds" (Above) (1890) (Above), and one of his few paintings of Paris, "Boulevard de Clichy" (1887). You can get a good sense of the size of the reproductions by viewing the installing of the "Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds at the bottom of this post.
This is a step beyond Google Art as it allows you to actually touch the painting to feel the brushtrokes and the the impasto technique (paint applied so thickly as it appears to be rising up out of the canvas) that Van Gogh used in his work.
The following is reprinted from the Van Gogh Museum website:
"The Van Gogh Museum, in cooperation with Fujifilm, has developed a technique for the production of three-dimensional reproductions of Van Gogh masterpieces. These reproductions, which are called Relievos, are of such outstanding quality that they resemble the original artwork very closely. At present, the Relievo collection consists of five works: Almond blossom (1890), Sunflowers (1889), The harvest (1888), Wheatfield under thunderclouds (1890) and Boulevard de Clichy (1887).
The special 3d technique, by means of which these reproductions are produced, goes by the name of Reliefography. This technique is a combination of a three-dimensional scan of the painting and a professional, high-resolution print. A Relievo consists of a faithful reproduction of the front of the painting, as well as of the back and comes in a frame. During the production process, experts of both Fujifilm and the Van Gogh Museum closely monitor highly rigorous quality checks. Size, colour, brightness and texture are reproduced as accurately as possible to create a full-scale premium 3D replica of a Van Gogh painting. The final result has been approved by the curator of the museum.
Cultural enterprise
The museum intends to generate extra revenues and to find new targets groups with this new generation of reproductions. The Van Gogh Museum, being a cultural enterprise, is continuously searching for new markets. Moreover, the museum intends to be in the vanguard of the latest technological developments. This technique takes the reproduction of works of art to new levels of outstanding quality, which the museum likes to offer to those who enjoy Van Gogh's paintings.
Educational purposes
In addition to selling the product, it is also meant for educational purposes. For instance, segments of a Relievo are used in the Van Gogh at work exhibition. Due to its restricted size and delicate nature, the Van Gogh Museum collection can only be enjoyed by a limited number of viewers. By means of the Relievos, availability and accessibility of the works of art can be enhanced, which gives the museum the opportunity to realize its mission to inspire and enrich as large an audience as possible. Besides, viewers will now be able to come up close to a Van Gogh painting, even touching it. This opens up different perspectives, among them the use of the reproductions for the benefit of the blind and visually impaired
The Relievo collection is on display at Gallery by the Harbour in Hong Kong from 16 July to 4 August 2013."

On our way to the Orange store, we agreed that we would seek out someone who speaks English in order to make sure we got what we needed without misunderstanding. A few days ago, we purchased a portable internet "hot spot" called "Let's Go" (Coffret prêt-à-surfer). With that little piece of technology shaped much like a much-used bar of soap and the size of a deck of cards, we can be on line wherever we are in France. Between the purchase and today, I had a long conversation on Skype that sucked the power right out of that hot spot, so we were forced to go in search of more power.
We arrived at the Orange store where the greeter remembered us from the prior visit (not always a good sign). I glanced over his shoulder through the store in search of the person who helped us the last time and whose English was so good. Since he wasn't there, we were paired with Claire who was finishing up with someone else.
"Finishing up" doesn't always mean "I'll be with you in just a sec'." It means "I'll be with you as soon as I'm done with this person and am not making any promises about whether it's a second or a half hour." We stood around until Claire came back to say that her colleague, Celine, would be able to help us. Neither Claire nor Celine spoke English, though both were very gracious and friendly. So we were forced to make ourselves understood and make sure we understood the information in French.
One of the most important reasons for this trip is to improve my French. I draw the line, however, when it comes to technology. All too often, I've heard "It's easy. Just plug it in/charge it up/stick the thing in the thing." Alas, it isn't really all that easy. So after about 20 concentrated minutes of explanation, pointing to the computer screen and the piece of paper with numbers on it, and an exchange of 25 Euros, we left the store with what we understood is additional time. Sure enough, it works. I'll have to admit, though, that there was a lengthy discussion of certain numbers associated with the SIM card and how long the SIM card would be validated that I could not explain to anyone else on pain of death. I just hope that I won't need to know that information without standing inside an Orange store next to an English-speaking employee.
For the moment we're on line. And I'll have to admit that I walked out with a sense of euphoria at having survived the challenge without resorting to some kind of meaningless gibberish or having a nervous breakdown. What I do in the name of technology. . .

Try watering it with filtered water or water that has been sitting out for at least a day. It may be that some chemicals in the water, like chlorine, have built up in the soil and are killing the plant. Using water where the chemicals have been removed either through filtering or evaporation may help.

Baidu's $66 Billion Dive Knocks It Out of China's Top 5 Internet Companies
Bloomberg News,
(Bloomberg) -- Baidu Inc. has dropped off the list of China's five most valuable internet companies, underscoring the challenges facing the search giant from a weakening economy to intensifying competition.
NetEase Inc., China's second-largest gaming house, has overtaken Baidu in market value after posting better-than-expected quarterly earnings last week. Shares of NetEase have gained 11% this year, while Baidu's plunged 40%. The latter company, once touted as a member of China's internet triumvirate alongside Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd., has bled $66 billion of capitalization since its peak in May 2018 -- the equivalent of one Morgan Stanley.
Baidu has struggled to fend off competition from the likes of Tencent and ByteDance Inc., both of which are luring smartphone-savvy consumers and advertisers to their popular mini-video and social media apps.
The company enjoyed a near-monopoly in Chinese internet search after Google departed the market in 2010 over government censorship. This week, ByteDance launched its own standalone search engine, posing a serious threat to the almost two-decades-old Baidu. The company was previously pushed out of the Top 3 in market value by e-commerce operator JD.com Inc. and food delivery service Meituan.
Baidu, together with rivals Alibaba and Tencent, has long formed part of a trio of leading internet companies known by the acronym BAT. Now even that title seems under threat, with some dubbing ByteDance the new "B" in the group. Baidu in May posted its first quarterly loss since its 2005 stock market debut, after the Chinese economy slowed and rivals chipped away at its advertising sales.

The biggest shopping holiday is almost upon us. Every year around this time, I try to take stock of what's missing from my closet before Black Friday, so I can buy some of the wardrobe staples I need for a fraction of the price. Here are a few of the items on my list. What's on yours?
Holiday party wear is another category usually featured as part of most Black Friday sales. Everything is either glittery or Christmas plaid this time of year. These J.Crew Factory Glitter Flats would be great for an office holiday party paired with black pants and a green or red sweater.
Since most brands offer a discount across their entire store, now is a great time to stock up on basics like t-shirts and leggings. I can't get these Loft Velvet Leggings out of my mind. They would be great for work, holiday parties, or just lazy Saturdays. They look comfy yet sophisticated.
It seems like every retailer offers pajamas this time of year as a gift option and there are so many varieties to choose from. Now is a great time to pick up sets like this Target Striped Flannel Pajama for a little less.
Big chunky sweaters like this Topshop Mock Neck Sweater seem like they are hard to find earlier in the season. And if you do find something like this, they are usually full price. That's why now is the time to stock up on really high-quality sweaters like this one.

Honda has taken the gloves off in the battle of cars vs. crossovers by introducing a redesigned 2018 Accord sedan that promises crisp styling, a trio of modern powertrains and numerous upscale features.
The 10th-generation Accord, introduced Friday morning in Detroit, will go on sale later this year. It will face stiff competition not only from a thriving crossover market but also within the ranks of family sedans, a segment that's in a slump in Canada and the United States, yet getting more competitive. A redesigned Toyota Camry and a refreshed Hyundai Sonata recently hit the market while a redesigned Nissan Altima is expected next year.
The Accord has long been the cornerstone of Honda's lineup. The automaker sold 13,857 units in Canada in 2016. The Civic, which sold 64,552 units in 2016, remains Honda's best-selling car in Canada. Meanwhile, sales of the CR-V — a record 44,789 sold last year — far outpaced those of the Accord. Even the HR-V gained ground, with 12,371 sold.
"We are redefining the Honda Accord for a new generation of buyers by bringing something unexpected that challenges the idea of what a mainstream sedan can be," Jeff Conrad, senior vice president American Honda Motor Co., said in a statement.
Yet the Accord, like its contemporaries, will have an uphill battle in persuading buyers to choose sedans over utility vehicles, which have virtually eliminated the gap in fuel efficiency, cost and ride quality in recent years.
"The major challenge to the new Accord is the market shift to crossovers that has hit the midsize sedan market hard," said Jack Nerad, executive market analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "So while we expect the new Accord to be a technological, design and engineering success, it's unlikely to be the sales success that its predecessor was."
It won't be for a lack of trying.
Like the current-generation Civic, the Accord is new from the ground up. It rides on a modular chassis that it shares with the CR-V and the Civic that promises increased stiffness and rigidity while also cutting weight.
First turbocharge
For the first time, the Accord will be available with a turbocharged engine. The base model will have the 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder used throughout Honda's model lineup. It will make 192 hp and 192 pounds-feet of torque and will be matched with a continuously variable transmission.
Honda will drop the longstanding V-6 as the Accord's optional engine and instead offer a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder. Based on the engine in the Civic Type R, this unit makes 252 hp and 273 pounds-feet of torque. It will come with a new 10-speed automatic gearbox.
A short-throw six-speed manual transmission will be available on the LX 1.5-litre and Sport trims with the 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre engines.
A revised two-motor hybrid model -- now built in Honda's Marysville Ohio plant -- will use a 2.0-litre gas engine.
Additional details on the Hybrid and fuel economy for all new models will be released closer to the 2018 Accord's on-sale date later this fall.
Honda was keen to wrap these new powertrains in a body that had more style than earlier, more conventional Accord models. Despite being a true sedan, the 2018 Accord has a sloping, fastback profile that echoes the silhouette of the current Civic while also bearing a family resemblance to Honda's Clarity lineup.
The new Accord is bigger than its predecessors in nearly every dimension. Its wheelbase is 2 inches longer (though the overall length shrinks by 0.39 inches, effectively pushing the wheels farther towards the corners).
Inside, rear legroom grows by 2.5 inches, passenger volume is up by 2.5 cubic feet to 105.7 cubic feet and trunk space grows by just under a cubic foot to 16.7 cubic feet total.
The 2018 Accord sheds between 110 and 176 pounds, depending on the trim level. Much of these weight savings are due to its modular chassis, as well as the use of aluminum in areas like the front subframe and suspension and ultra-high and high-strength steel throughout.
Safety tech
All 2018 Accords will come standard with HondaSensing, the automaker's suite of safety tech. This includes pre-collision braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and blind-spot monitoring.
Inside, Honda revised the Accord's dashboard to include a new eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a seven-inch digital screen in the instrument panel. A six-inch heads-up display is a new option. Wireless phone charging, 4G LTE Wifi and over-the-air system updates -- first used by Honda in its recent Odyssey -- will also be available.
The trim levels of the 2018 Accord will largely echo those of the outgoing model. The 1.5-liter models will come in LX, Sport, EX-L and Touring in Canada. The 2.0-liter models will come in Sport and Touring. The new Accord Hybrid will be available in two trims – Hybrid and Touring.
The 2018 Accord will hit dealerships later this fall and pricing will be announced closer to that time.
When it does arrive, the industrywide reach of the Accord could lift the tide of all midsize sedans, similar to the success the current Civic had when it came out.
"Though midsize sedans have been struggling due to the SUV boom, the Accord has the power to stabilize the drop for the near future," said Akshay Anand, executive analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "If Honda can do with the Accord what they did with the newest Civic, it would be a huge win for Honda and the industry."

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — The fifth round of the formal talks, which was supposed to tackle the comprehensive agreement on social and economic reforms in August is again on the rocks.
The government peace panel announced Wednesday that the backchannel talks between the government and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines are cancelled following the recent attack of the New People's Army in Arakan, North Cotabato.
Presidential Peace Adviser Jesus Dureza announced the cancellation of the backchannel talks in a Facebook post Wednesday afternoon.
"I am announcing the cancellation of backchannel talks with the CPP/NPA/NDF originally set within the next few days in Europe due to recent developments involving attacks done by the NPAs," Dureza said.
He said: "the situation on the ground necessary to provide the desired enabling environment for the conduct of the peace negotiation are still not present up to this time."
In an interview with Davao Today on Wednesday, Randall Echanis, member of the NDFP Reciprocal Working Committee on Social Economic Reforms said the backchannel talks on July 21 to 23 are supposed to tackle how they will resume the formal talks.
The parties are supposed to tackle the Comprehensive Agreement on Social and Economic Reforms (CASER), release of political prisoners and the ceasefire.
Around 6am Wednesday, a convoy from the Presidential Security Group (PSG) encountered the NPAs in a checkpoint set up by the guerrilla fighters of the 1st Pulang Bagani Company of the NPA in the tri-boundary of Arakan, North Cotabato, Bukidnon and Davao City.
Major Ezra Balagtey, spokesperson of the Eastern Mindanao Command said the encounter involved 10 personnel boarding two vehicles going to Cagayan de Oro City.
The NPAs were clad in military uniform along the highway and put up a checkpoint.
Balagtey said five were wounded and immediately brought to German Doctors Hospital, Buda, Marilog District, Davao City. The casualties were identified as Staff Sargeant Arniel L Matunhay, Sgt. Gerry N Torsar, Cpl. Rodel A Ledesma, Cpl. Ayam P. Alia and a certain SSg Lisondra.
PSG Spokesman Michael Aquino said the PSG personnel were on "administrative" duty.
The NPA also said they arrested an agent of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group. "The operation was conducted amidst Mindanao martial law," the NPA said.
President Rodrigo Duterte previously met with the government peace panel on Tuesday in Malacañan and directed the negotiators not to resume the formal talks unless the communists agree to stop attacks against government troops in Mindanao.
The fifth round of the formal talks was cancelled last May after the GRP peace panel refused to participate due to "lack of conducive environment" for the negotiations.
Echanis said the government wants to talk about ceasefire while the NDFP is bent on pushing for social, economic, and political reforms before prolonged ceasefire.
"Yung CASER maaprubahan muna tapos yung release of political prisoners bago mapag-usapan yung ceasefire," Echanis said, adding that there is a sequence of the agenda for negotiations.
CASER is the second of the fourth substantive agenda of the GRP-NDFP peace negotiations. The other agenda is the political and constitutional reforms and the end of hostilities and disposition of forces. (davaotoday.com)

In general, computer programs are written using high-level languages that are easy to understand by humans. The syntax of these languages usually consists of phrases or words drawn from the English language. However, as the processing unit of a computer fails to understand the high-level languages, it makes the use of interpreters and compilers to convert the given instructions into 0s and 1s or the binary/machine language.
In other words, the source code or the high-level language can only be understood by a computer after it is converted into machine language with the help of a compiler or interpreter. Though these words are used interchangeably, they are quite different in their features and functionality. Here, we help you take a closer look at the role of a compiler and interpreter and understand what is the difference between an interpreter and compiler?
Interpreter vs Compiler
The differences between a compiler and interpreter are tabulated below:
The various steps of programming are:
1. Creation of the program.
2. There is no machine code generation or linking of files.
3. The statements in source code are executed at the time of execution, one line at a time.
The various steps of programming are:
Once interpreted, the programs can only run on systems having the corresponding interpreter.
The program cannot be modified without reverting to the source code.
Interpreters check one line after another and so the overall time taken for interpreting the full program is more than that taken by the compiler to complete its job.
As the program code has already been translated into machine language, the time taken for code execution is less. It compiles the whole program all at once and is thus faster.
No target code or intermediate code is created by an interpreter.
A target code or intermediate code is generated by a compiler.
The interpreter does not generate any object code and so the memory required is low.
The object code is generated by the compiler and so it needs more memory space.
An interpreter displays errors of every single statement one after the other; this makes it easy for the user to detect errors
A compiler shows all the errors concurrently. Therefore, it is not easy to detect the errors individually.
In an interpreter, when an error shows up, the translation process is paused for a specific line; the translation of the next line is resumed after the error is taken care of by the debugger.
In a compiler, if an error shows up in the program, the translation process is stopped. The whole program goes through the translation process again once the debugging takes place.
It is based on the Interpretation model.
It is based on the language translation linking & loading model.
An Interpreter is used for interpreting programs written in Ruby, Python, Java, PHP, etc.
The compiler is useful for compiling programming languages like Scala, C, C++, C#, etc.
It takes a single line of the program code as its input.
The entire program forms the input for a compiler.
An interpreter is suitable for the development and program environment.
A compiler is best suited for the production environment.
The interpreted machine languages support the cause of Dynamic Typing
Dynamic Typing is difficult to implement as the compilers cannot predict the happenings at turn time.
The machine codes are not saved at all.
The compiler stores machine language in the form of machine codes on the disk.
What is a Compiler?
A compiler is defined as a computer program that is equipped to transform the codes written in high-level programming languages into machine codes. It translates the codes understood by humans into binary codes comprising of 1 and 0 bits. The codes translated to binary or machine language are processed by the computer to carry out corresponding tasks.
Role of a Compiler
- It is important for the compiler to comply with all laid down rules pertaining to the syntax of the language in which it developed.
- A compiler is merely a computer program. It is not capable of debugging or fixing the errors found within the program.
- In case there is a mistake, it becomes important for users to make the necessary changes in the program's syntax at the earliest- else, it will fail to compile.
- The Analysis Phase of the compiler checks grammar, syntax and semantics of the code, post which the intermediate code can be generated. This phase includes the semantic analyzer, lexical analyzer and syntax analyzer for its functionality.
- The Synthesis Phase is the stage in which the intermediate code is optimized. The target code is also generated in this stage that includes the code generator and code optimizer.
What is an Interpreter?
An interpreter can be defined as an alternative for implementing programming languages and functions in the same manner as a compiler. It performs parsing, lexing and type checking just as a compiler. It is equipped to process the syntax tree directly. An interpreter can access expressions and also execute statements from the syntax tree.
Role of an Interpreter
- An interpreter is used for converting the source code during runtime; one line at a time.
- It completely translates high-level language programs into machine level language understood by the computer.
- An interpreter allows for the modification and evaluation of programs in the execution stage.
- It is capable of analyzing and processing programs in comparatively faster ways.
- The interpreter is best used for testing a program quickly during the modification stage and helps in running it efficiently.
Java Compiler and Interpreter
Java is a compiled computer programming language. However, instead of compiling directly into the executable machine code, it is first compiled into a binary intermediate form referred to as JVM bytecode. Thereafter, the bytecode is further compiled or interpreted as needed for running the program. As Java is both an interpreted and compiled programming language it is oft-known as the compiler interpreter language. This also explains whether Java uses a compiler or interpreter – it uses both.
The paras above have well-explained the definition, role and differences between a compiler and interpreter. The explanation of compiler vs interpreter show that they are both designed to perform the same work, however, they tend to be different in their operational procedures. Be it an interpreter in Java or a compiler used for translating Java commands, they have their pros and cons, different time-saving features, application areas, etc.

My husband has been out half the day so I've taken the opportunity to just binge and purge repeatedly. Girl Scout cookies, raw cookie dough, cold Chinese food, ice cream, etc. It wasn't even pleasurable; it was frantic and hopeless. And I've since had soup (129), an apple (80), microwave popcorn (300), and a Snickers (150), which I haven't purged any of but am certainly thinking about.
I thought I was done with this, but I guess I can only binge so many days in a row before the need to purge becomes too strong. I need to stop eating junk is what I need to do. I made the stupid decision to buy a bunch of Cadbury cream eggs (160) the other day and had been eating them nonstop for two days prior. Hopefully I'm done for a while. I don't really have any junk left in the house so as long as I don't buy any at the store I should be okay.
But of course now I feel like I need to restrict during the week. I'm certainly not planning on eating lunch, or at least not more than a fruit (80) and a string cheese(80), or maybe a nonfat latte (120). I'm not planning on having the oatmeal that had become routine; I'll have a light English muffin (100) with maybe a tablespoon of pb (90) and sugar-free jam (10). Hopefully my husband feels like eating healthy this week and we can just have chicken (200) with veg (100-200, depending on the veg) for dinner.
I just bought some more small-size clothes, so unless I want them to hang in my closet unworn (like half my closet already) I need to lose weight. Max 1200 cal/day until my birthday. Then I'll be 30 and I'll really have to commit to cutting the sugar for good if I don't want to balloon up, so hopefully these next two weeks will help me get on the right track. We'll see…

We think there are three things a person can do to stay in shape. You must have a well-balanced, anti-inflammatory diet along with consistent exercise and finally, the right vitamins. Multi-vitamins get you the minerals you need for overall health but you can also take a more targeted vitamin. If you want to rev your metabolism in order to shed fat, an anti-inflammatory vitamin each morning can help. Being anti-inflammatory is as important to vitamins as it is to foods. Your body responds to internal inflammation by packing on fat. Reverse that process now.
Magnesium is a vital nutrient for overall health and wellness and plays a big role in weight loss according to Dr. Charles Passler, creator of the detox program Pure Change. "Magnesium improves blood sugar management, helps to regulate hormones related to excess hunger and satiety, improves quality of sleep, increases energy production, supports a healthy immune system and assists in stress management," he says. Every single one of these things has an effect on your metabolism and whether you lose or gain weight.

You might think of this vitamin as something you take to ward off a cold. But there's more. If you want your thyroid (the gland in your neck that regulates metabolism) to function properly, zinc will be your new BFF. Having a balanced level of thyroid hormone greatly affects your weight and prevents inflammation. Studies have shown that optimal levels of zinc can help prevent weight gain. And even better – some come in the form of tasty tablets that melt in your mouth.
Shop zinc at The Vitamin Shoppe now.
Vitamin D
Our favorite way to get vitamin D is from glorious sunlight! But that's not always an ideal method. And we risk skin damage plus burns (and wrinkles!) from being exposed for too long. "Studies show that more than 70 percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient," says Dr. Passler. A supplement might be the way to go. People with low levels of vitamin D are more likely to catch colds so they have low immunity, feel sick, skip exercise and then metabolism wans. A study from the University of Minnesota found that vitamin D was connected to weight loss while a Canadian study found that people with ideal levels of vitamin D had less belly fat than those who were lacking.

Research suggests that people lacking in calcium tend to weight more than those with sufficient amounts. This is an easy fix. "Eating calcium-rich foods like yogurt, beans, almonds and dark leafy green vegetables or supplementing with calcium can also help with symptoms of bloat," says Dr. Lisa Davis, chief nutritionist at Terra's Kitchen. A study reported a decrease in abdominal bloating for women with PMS that took the supplement for 2 months. Try a daily dose of 500 mg calcium carbonate.
Shop calcium at The Vitamin Shoppe now.
Vitamin B
You're more likely to lose weight when your metabolism is functioning at its best and vitamin B complex can help: it metabolizes carbs, fats and proteins. It's a water-soluble vitamin so it breaks down in water. That means you don't need to take it with food to prevent an upset stomach. There's an important reason why certain vitamins and supplements must be taken before breakfast. "If taken on an empty stomach, your body will absorb it in greater amounts," says Jaclyn Jacobsen, a nutritionist at The Vitamin Shoppe. We keep a bottle of B on our nightstands. When you wake up, just roll over and take the vitamin. This insures you have an empty stomach and your body can use B complex to it's fullest potential (and for the deepest de-bloating effect).

Batman burgers and sausages, Wonder Woman burgers and Superman burgers! Find out what my little taste testers and I thought.
This post is sponsored by DC Comics Burgers and Sausages. As always, all opions are truthful. Thanks for supporting Taming Twins.
My children are mostly, fairly unimpressed by my job. It often involves Mummy standing on a chair, taking photos of the table as they tuck in whilst they look on in something between bemusement and disinterest.
They know I take photos of food and beyond that, they are not terribly interested.
Until, the day a box arrived full of DC Comics themed burgers and sausages. BATMAN SAUSAGES!
Oh my goodness, you'd have thought that the Batmobile itself had pulled up outside.
I'd been asked to try these new products and see what we thought. As the children were so excited when the delivery arrived, I thought I'd pull the stops out and throw them a little superhero party to celebrate the end of the week!
I must say, I would never usually buy frozen meat products, so I was really interested in seeing how they stood up to the testing tastebuds of my two.
When buying any processed meat products, I always check the meat percentage in them. I was impressed with these that the Batman products had about 10% more meat content than the best selling equivalent frozen products.
Also, whilst not low in fat, one of the burger packs I checked was about 16% fat, which is lower than the 20% fat mince I'd often use when making homemade burgers, so not a bad choice.
The other great point about all of these products is they are gluten free, so perfectly suitable for any little friends with gluten allergies or intolerances. Hooray for Batman burger fun for all!
In the range are Batman burgers, Batman sausages, Wonder Woman burgers and Superman burgers.
To say that they went down a storm with my two would be an understatement. They loved the Batman burgers particularly, and I was impressed buy the texture.
The sausages cooked really evenly in the oven, a useful go to for the odd freezer meal treat.
Overall I was impressed by the quality, texture and taste of all of the products. As a fun treat, my children LOVED them!
All of the products, including the Batman Burgers, are available from the freezer section in Asda now.

After a year of trying to sell our home with 2 other real estate agents and no acceptable offers our hopes of a necessary move were diminished. In fact, all we got were broken promises. The stress was keeping us up at night negatively affecting our jobs. Thank God for Jan who was referred to us by a friend that had faced similar circumstances. He sold our home in record time for 99% of the asking price. Jan truly is a professional who delivers results.by Janusz and Grazyna Milewski
The idea to buy a home came up on January this year and I really didnt have much of informations about home sales markets price and so on...but Jan Szybalski was my first contact through the Internet and he became my agent and gave me all the information that I needed. At first we signed the papers and we started to work together. In the meantime some friends were telling me that I should not sign contracts with any agent but I didnt regret at all because Jan helped us to find our dream home in less than 3 months. He was available any moment gave me informations about the story of any houses that we have seen. I should say that he is a hard worker and even the sellers agent would confirm that because he fights for you and the price that you are looking for. He is there to represent your best interests. Thanks again Jan we wish you all the best.by Albana Uruci - French Teacher
After a year and a half of trying to sell our home with another agent, my husband and I found ourselves in a critical situation. We were stuck in a home which we couldn't afford and our situation seemed hopeless. Not getting anywhere with our old agent we decided to look elsewhere and heard of Jan from our neighbours who strongly recommended him to us. Immediately upon meeting him he put us at ease and within a few weeks of re -listing our home we had at least 4 serious offers at or above our asking price. We ultimately sold for $11,000 above asking price but still needed to find a new home. With our closing date only 2 months away we were now worried about finding a residence but again he seemed confident my husband and I would find a home in time and indeed we did with 3 weeks to spare. Needless to say we were ecstatic with how well things worked out, we highly recommend Jan to anybody. Thanks Jan.by Peter and Anna M.
Our last home was on the market for a year with another agent and with no offers we were forced to reduce the asking price a couple of times. Still with the reduced price he failed to get acceptable offers, consequently we sold for even less. In the end, all we got were broken promises. This time, we decided to hire Jan and he sold our home for full price in only 3 days, things couldn't have gone any better. We learned that there is a difference among real estate agents, the services they provide, and the results they deliver.by Chester and Barbara C.
Jan Szybalski consistently exhibits a trait we do not see often these days. Without fail, Jan provides superior customer service. I truly thought this type of customer service, was extinct. In all our multiple dealings over the years with Jan, he is extremely responsive, timely, and thoughtful. He makes a commitment to do a task, and he does. Without fail, he follows up, quickly. He often makes suggestions that we have never considered and he advises us accordingly. Jan's many years of experience, dedication to his work, great listening skills and thoughtfulness, make him a rare exception in an industry that is highly competitive. If anyone is looking for real estate services, we would; without question, recommend Jan Szybalski to assist them, in making that very significant and important decision.by Kimberlee Hutchinson
We were originally feeling somewhat overwhelmed by our move to a new city that we had visited many times but somewhere we never lived. We met with Jan and almost immediately he knew exactly the type of house we were looking for and the type of area we wanted to live. Jan worked hard to find listings that met all of our criteria and spent a great deal of time taking us to showings, giving us information on different areas, and advising us on prices. Once we were ready to make an offer, Jan was quick to provide us with the information we needed on comparable homes, write up our offer, and provide invaluable advice throughout the negotiation process. Jan made the entire process smooth and painless and with his help, we were able to purchase our perfect home at the right price. We would recommend Jan without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.by Mark MacDonald & Nancy Baroni

Ephesians is Paul's "Cliff Notes Gospel," a relatively brief exposition on everything related to Christian faith, life and practice. And chapter 1 is the foundation for it all! Paul describes God's cosmic purpose in creation, reassuring his formerly-pagan readers that the God of the universe, who was made manifest in Jesus, is not spiteful or capricious or given to flying off the handle like the gods they used to serve, but this God has purposed good for creation since the beginning of time and has deliberately and steadily worked out renewal and redemption for each one of us and for all of creation. And we are invited into that same deliberate and purposeful work as those adopted as God's children. That is the Gospel in a nutshell: God's action, our response.
This week's sermon...from Ephesians 1.

Extended Life
As you know, I've been lamenting a damaging hair incident which left me having to grow out unintentionally straightened hair. Unintentionally you ask? YELP! Let's not dwell. Anyway, I'm on the rebound and making strides forward. Since last year I've been heavily invested in protective hairstyling to keep my hair safe while it rebuilds itself to some sort of glory.
People have been quite interested in my endeavors as I've managed to change hair colors, dabble in cuts and styles that aren't necessarily "me" but TONS of fun. Don't get me wrong, it does NOT thrill my soul that my colleagues in office look at me weirdly that first day of "new hair".
After a colleague literally jumped when he saw me, I decided that the braids I used to get when I was in my early 20's (when I still looked like 18 even though I was 25... tee-hee) do not suit me now. They do not suit me AT ALL and further, while on the subject of things that don't suit, all hair color is not for me... and can be aging. I drink lots of water, and bathe in moisturizer while screaming the lyrics to "Forever Young" so basically I don't have time for hair color that ages.
giThe take away from my hair exploits? A new mantra - BE. DO. LOOK. your absolute best by any means possible, resorting to trickery, skullduggery and outright fakery if you have to!
Why? Because life is too short! Pictorial evidence of the shame of a hair disaster will come back and haunt you years from now AND you're not 12... you know, when your mom ( my mom included) gave you a TRULY heinous home perm, color, cut etc. and while you, stunned to tears or utter silence, looked in the mirror like a FREAKING FOOL, she patiently told you. "Oh well, you'll just have to let it grow out." UMMM NO!
There is nothing that says that one has to WAIT patiently until hair is satisfactory. What does one do? Give up on life? Refuse to be seen socially ? Mine (with pick and shovel) for even more inner beauty and press others to see it too? Nope. My confidence can't take that kind of waiting game anymore.
Throw on a good wig, get extensions, color the heck outta those things and keep changing it up until you get the compliments you want and deserve. The main thing is to keep your natural hair healthy underneath. Keep up with your trims, conditioners, moisturizing routines, masks, taking your vitamins and giving yourself 4-minute inverted scalp massages. There is no shame in the wig/extension game!

Well put! I use wigs for protective styling and find that they help minimize the "bad" hair days. :-)

Pioglitazone is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise as a once-daily combination therapy to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes who are already treated with a combination of pioglitazone and a sulfonylurea or whose diabetes is not adequately controlled with a sulfonylurea alone, or for those patients who have initially responded to pioglitazone alone and require additional glycemic control. Management of type 2 diabetes should also include nutritional counseling, weight reduction as needed, and exercise. These efforts are important not only in the primary< treatment of type 2 diabetes, but also to maintain the efficacy of drug therapy.

|Final Fantasy XIII Character
Sazh Katzroy is a player character from Final Fantasy XIII. He is a middle-aged black man with an afro dressed in tan, and is described as a sympathetic and kind man who is easily moved to tears. After his wife died three years prior to the events of the game, Sazh looked after their six-year old son, Dajh, before he became a l'Cie and was taken by PSICOM. Saving Dajh is Sazh's main motivation in the game.
Sazh is a professional airship pilot from Cocoon, knowing Lightning from their time spent together serving PSICOM. Prior to the game, Sazh bought a newly hatched baby Chocobo for his son Dajh as a gift during a trip eleven days ago where they cross paths with Jihl. Four days later, he loses his son to Sanctum after he realized he became a l'Cie after finding him. Sazh follows Lightning to meet the Pulse fal'Cie Anima, becoming a l'Cie as a result. After Sazh and Vanille willingly depart from Lightning and Hope at the Vile Peaks, the two become close friends as they travel together.
However, during their visit to Nautilus, talking about Dajh while at the Chocobo ranch, Sazh realized Vanille is hiding something from him prior to them being ambushed by a PSICOM unit led by Jihl Nabaat. After fighting their way to escape their pursuers, Sazh is briefly reunited with his son before he is crystallized right before his eyes. By then, Jihl arrives and reveals that Dajh accidentally became a l'Cie because of Vanille and Fang. Distraught, Sazh pursues Vanille with the intention of killing her. Finding Vanille, he points his gun at her as she insists for him to just shoot her, furious that she thinks he will simply forgive her once she is dead. But after Brynhildr appears moments later, seeing Vanille willing to protect him makes Sazh save her and spurns him to gain control of his Eidolon before he attempted suicide prior to be captured by Jihl, learning from Jihl that the crystallized Dajh is to be placed in Eden as a memorial. This infuriates him as Sazh is rendered unconscious before being taken with Vanille to the Palamecia.
In the TGS '09 trailer, he is seen flying an airship through yellow energy arcs of an unknown fal'Cie to evade PSICOM forces, and later to escape Yaag Rosch in the Proud Clad.
In the final Japanese trailer, Sazh is seen riding on Brynhildr in her Gestalt Mode, seemingly trying to save Vanille, who had been knocked off a platform by a missile while being protected by her Eidolon, Hecatoncheir. After Orphan's defeat, Sazh is reunited with his son, Dajh.
Being a l'Cie, Sazh's Eidolon is Brynhildr, a female Fire-elemental knight, who can turn into a race car in her Gestalt Mode. On his own, Sazh uses a pair of pistols, that can transform into an assault rifle. He can shoot with his guns from a range, but also use them in melee combat. He also has access to Fire magic.

Fabric versus Leather – Which Sofa Style Is Right for You?
A sofa is an investment of both money and style, with the biggest decision being the choice between fabric and leather. So which material suits your needs best?
Fabric versus Leather – Which Sofa Style Is Right for You?
This is not just a sofa. This is your sofa. It's your sanctuary after a day on your feet, your bubble of self-pity when under the weather and your family muster point for Christmas movies. It's also a seat for the company you keep. As such, it must be the perfect balance of comfortable and aesthetically lovely, enveloping passers-by between its welcoming cushions while reflecting your flawless taste in home design.
It's a tall order, and one you're committed to until the sofa falls apart or you redecorate again, with a fair few years in between. If you are riddled with indecision at important choices for your home, here's a brief rundown of the pros and cons of leather versus fabric, for your pleasure.
Classically elegant or modern with a twist, leather does suit a variety of styles. Keeping it traditional with a buttoned, Chesterfield style or using a leather corner sofa to accent your living room, either gives a sophisticated, clean look while offering a real statement about your taste. From vintage to cosy, contemporary to arty, there is sure to be something to reflect your style.
Fabrics come in rainbows of colours and a variety of textures, affording you acres of choice when it comes to expressing yourself. Where leather is limited to a relatively small palette, the world is your oyster if you choose fabric. Now, just cope with the burden of choice and you'll have earned a nice sit down.
All beautiful things need care but leather sofas are actually startlingly low maintenance. Requiring as little as a regular wipe with a damp cloth, the chances of your sofa looking pristine and presentable a decade after purchase are sturdy, even given the most basic care. That's a lot of bang for your buck.
Fabric is not stain proof. Neither is it wipe-clean or easy-care. Plenty of fabric sofas come with removable cushion covers, to the delight of dry cleaners everywhere, but it can be pricey and time consuming to spruce up the sofa once a year. So, stain remover it is then.
Leather is a friend of parents and pet owners the world over. Harder to tear than fabric and resilient against the spills, leaks and dribbles of even the most formidable toddler, leather is robust as well as easy to care for.
By comparison, fabric does age and tire with consistent use. Fading fabric or general wear and tear can date a piece of furniture beyond its years, particularly if children use it for a food station, climbing frame, fort or anything else scamp-like or scallywag. Fabric can also tear more easily than leather, leading to upholstery bills or botched repairs, if your sewing is anything like mine.
Leather is often criticised for being cold to the touch in the Winter and sticky on skin in the Summer. But if your primary considerations are style over function, have a beautiful throw to hand for the colder months and cosy up. As for Summer, well, ask yourself if the Great British Summer really warrants a sacrifice in style…
Comfy, cosy, swallow-you-whole type sofas are what the weekends were made for, surely? Fabric will always have the edge, albeit a soft one, over leather in the comfort stakes. If you consider time spent sofa-surfing time well spent, let comfort be your guide.
Whatever your deciding factors, whether they be style, lifestyle or maintenance, there are many retail options available to suit your requirements. Well established retailers like G Plan offer a range of sofas from vintage to modern, expertly crafted and sinfully comfortable. Check out the latest trends in interior design for some inspiration!

Respecting their space
As a parent of teens, you notice their strong desire for independence and privacy. Sometimes it's hard to know the line between staying informed and respecting privacy. Parents wonder how far they should trust their teen, what boundaries are appropriate and how they can best watch out for them.
The importance of Privacy
According to Indiana University-Purdue University professor Dr. Sandra Petronio, children develop an understanding of what privacy means to them as they age. Even at a young age, a child will set up rules about who they are comfortable changing in front of, who is allowed in their room and how they record and hide their secrets. Often the smallest things are considered treasured tokens of the safety they find in privacy from unwanted eyes.
Petronio says, "Parents must acknowledge their children's rights to have these rules whether they like them or not. If they simply invade their privacy, children will be very creative about ways to keep information from their parents."
Encouraging Healthy Privacy
Petronio says parents can respect and encourage privacy without losing tabs on their child's activities:
"You're allowing your child to have control with the understanding that whatever they do in that private space isn't going to harm them in any way. You give them the responsibility of caring for themselves and doing the right thing, because in the end they know when something is wrong."
Parents should trust their children if they haven't given any indication of breaking that trust. Requesting permission before looking at your child's texts, computer cache or in their room will help them know they can trust you not to "snoop" and Petronio says 35 years of research says more than 90 percent of children won't tell their parents "no" if simply asked first.
The less your teen trusts you, the better they will be at hiding what they don't want you to see; work to build trust and communication–not tear it down.

FrankfurtRheinMain has many options available to learn German or to brush up or improve your language skills. We have composed a selection of the major providers of German classes for you.
Adult Education Centres (Volkshochschule) are the most well-known provider of educational programmes with a wide range of courses, including German as a foreign language. Here, you will gradually achieve different language proficiency levels in certified classes. Often you can also attend intensive courses that take place over a short period of time. Since Adult Education Centres are publicly funded, the costs are relatively low. You can find German lessons at local Adult Education Centres using the course search menu at the VHS-Kursfinder.
You can also use the free online portal "Ich will Deutsch lernen" provided by the Adult Education Centres. This portal offers virtual German classes from level A1–B1.
You can choose from different German courses at the Goethe-Institut e. V. in Frankfurt am Main depending on whether you'd like to take an intensive, evening or weekend course, prepare for a test or need to learn German specific to your profession. The courses are divided by level, and are internationally recognised and comparable. As the Goethe-Institut exists all over the world, you can take your first class while abroad and then continue learning once you have arrived in Germany.
The Goethe-Institut also offers free German practice online.
Of course, there are many other providers of German courses. The large choice can become confusing, especially as there are both public and private courses for language training at very different prices. In order to make the right decision for you please compare the content and the benefits of each German course. Make sure that the course includes language assessment, which is a final examination that is considered proof of qualification. This will be the case for example if the course follows the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The course provider should be able to certify this.
Children and adolescents having another mother tongue than German are offered special language lessons in schools and Kindergarten. Good German skills are very important for your child – it is the only way for them to succeed at school.
If your child is in Kindergarten, they will take a language test before they begin Primary School in order to provide them with the correct support. If your child has already begun school, support and language-learning classes are available to assist them before switching to regular classes.
For more information about how to sign up your child for school please check the official website of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and contact your local school authority in FRM.
Teenagers who are no longer required to attend school as well as all young adults up to the age of 27 can learn German in a special integration course. You can also find information on this on the official website of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
Questions? Feel free to contact us at any time. Our team speaks many languages and would be happy to help you.
At the Goethe-Institut in Frankfurt you will successfully learn German for work, study or everyday life. You can choose between intensive courses (Mon-Fri) and evening classes (twice a week). The lessons are goal-oriented, structured clearly and varied. An exciting cultural and leisure programme complements the course.

Boy Friend - 'Egyptian Wrinkle'
Tuesday 7th February 2012
Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown head up Boy Friend, an ambient heady haze of a band with soft undertones of varying elements, almost impossible to pinpoint, creating a genre they can claim their own. We take a closer look at their debut 'Egyptian Wrinkles' which was released yesterday, 6th of February through HELL YES records.
If consistency is your thing, then you may want to delve deeper into the world of Boy Friend, as their debut has this in abundance. The album as a whole is effortless, flowing from one track to the next. This does not mean that you have to listen in the correct order, this will not ruin your experience, as what they seem to have done is pretty crafty. By creating a soundscape, a tapestry of sounds if you will, they can mould the composition into something brand new, but still sticking with the same elements. In theory, you could argue that it is all the same. What they have really conveyed though is that from their mood board, they can construct and portray an array of feelings, bringing diversity to familiarity.
Listening closely reveals undertones of soft tribal drumming. This may not be intended, but for a base like this spread over the LP, it lifts and separates otherwise potentially smothering ambience. The girl's voices hover effortlessly above this all, floating on the calm with evocative, indelible beauty. This is haunting melancholy at its finest, starting vocally minor, transitioning smoothly into major evokes powerful emotions.
'Egyptian Wrinkles' could have quite easily been plucked from a fantasy film soundtrack. Perhaps they will try their hands at this, because to apply matching imagery to their dulcet movements would take things to a whole new level. Saying this, we're sure that their music will be in high demand in the television and film world, because sometimes, you cannot imitate music such as theirs.
