An Open Letter to Poets,from Claudia Rankine
Claudia Rankine is the author of three previous collections of poetry, Nothing in Nature Is Private, The End of the Alphabet, and Plot. She is co-editor, with Juliana Spahr, of American Women Poets in the 21st Century: Where Lyric Meets Language. She teaches in the writing program at the University of Houston.
Author photo © John Lucas
Dear friends,
As many of you know I responded to Tony Hoagland's poem "The Change" at AWP. I also solicited from Tony a response to my response. Many informal conversations have been taking place online and elsewhere since my presentation of this dialogue. This request is an attempt to move the conversation away from the he said-she said vibe toward a discussion about the creative imagination, creative writing and race.
If you have time in the next month please consider sharing some thoughts on writing about
race (1-5 pages).
Here are a few possible jumping off points:
•If you write about race frequently what issues, difficulties, advantages, and disadvantages do you negotiate?
•How do we invent the language of racial identity--that is, not necessarily constructing the "scene of instruction" about race, but create the linguistic material of racial speech/thought?
•If you have never written consciously about race why have you never felt compelled to do so?
•If you don't consider yourself in any majority how does this contribute to how race enters your work?
•If fear is a component of your reluctance to approach this subject could you examine that in a short essay that would be made public?
•If you don't intend to write about race but consider yourself a reader of work dealing with race what are your expectations for a poem where race matters?
•Do you believe race can be decontextualized, or in other words, can ideas of race be constructed separate from their history?
•Is there a poem you think is particularly successful at inventing the language of racial identity or at dramatizing the site of race as such? Tell us why.
In short, write what you want. But in the interest of constructing a discussion pertinent to the more important issue of the creative imagination and race, please do not reference Tony or me in your writings. We both served as the catalyst for this discussion but the real work as a community interested in this issue begins with our individual assessments.
If you write back to me by March 11, 2011, one month from today, with "OPEN LETTER" in the subject heading I will post everything on the morning of the 15th of March. Feel free to pass this on to your friends. Please direct your thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In peace,
Posted by Kore Press at 9:18 AM

Claudia - Posting this as a way of sharing in this discussion. I am not sure how I can contribute to the project - my work is in fiction and political journalism, not poetry - but just a thought because I feel the discussions are worthwhile.

Vigorous Exercise Activates Cancer Prevention Genes

Comments Off on Vigorous Exercise Activates Cancer Prevention Genes
New research shows that at least 3 hours per week of vigorous exercise improves the function of multiple cancer-preventing genes.
As I extensively discuss in my bestselling book, A Cancer Prevention Guide for the Human Race, moderate-to-vigorous physical exercise has been repeatedly shown to reduce our risk of developing cancer, as well as reducing the risk of recurrence of breast cancer and other types of cancer. Moreover, there is research to suggest that this cancer-prevention benefit of exercise is independent of whether or not a person is overweight or obese. However, the exact mechanism, or mechanisms, whereby exercise reduces cancer risk has not been clear, thus far. Now, a newly presented research study offers some fascinating insights into potential biological links between exercise and cancer risk reduction. This new study was just presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's 2012 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, and has been published in a supplement to the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
In this study, 70 men underwent biopsy of their prostate glands, which revealed normal prostate tissue. These normal prostate tissue samples were then subjected to extensive genetic analysis. These 70 men also completed detailed questionnaires regarding their exercise habits, which included questions that asked if they engaged in any vigorous physical activity at all, and whether or not they engaged in at least 3 hours of vigorous activity per week.
Genetic testing of these prostate gland biopsy specimens revealed that the function of 184 different cancer-related genes was significantly affected by vigorous exercise for at least 3 hours per week. Among these observed changes in gene function was an increase in the function of the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are known to reduce the risk of developing cancer (i.e., tumor suppressor genes). In fact, inherited mutations of these BRCA genes are known to dramatically increase the risk of breast cancer (in both men and women), ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer in patients affected with these "deactivating" BRCA gene mutations. Moreover, the function of genes which are involved in the normal growth and division of cells, and in the repair of damaged DNA, also improved in the men who reported at least 3 hours of vigorous physical activity per week. Another important finding of this very impressive research study is that the men who reported engaging in vigorous physical activity forless than 3 hours per week did not show any improvement in cancer-suppressing gene function when compared to men who indicated that they did not engage in any vigorous physical activity.
The findings of this innovative research study are hugely important, in my view, as it is one of the first studies to identify specific genetic mechanisms that may potentially explain why vigorous exercise reduces cancer risk. While many other clinical studies have indirectly linked increased levels of physical activity to a reduced risk of developing cancer, this intriguing research study has identified multiple actual cancer-suppressing genes whose function appears to be significantly improved, or "upregulated," in response to vigorous, frequent exercise. The finding that at least 3 hours of vigorous activity per week is necessary to improve the function of these critical anti-cancer genes is particularly important, and may serve as a guide as to how much exercise we need to engage in to significantly lower our risk of developing cancer. Additionally, knowing which cancer-suppressing genes respond favorably to frequent and vigorous exercise may also help scientists to develop new strategies to manipulate these anti-cancer genes, in an effort to further reduce our risk of developing cancer.
This study is a crucial advance in our understanding of the biological mechanisms whereby higher levels of physical activity appear to reduce the risk of developing cancer. Although this is a rather small study, its implications with respect to cancer prevention are likely to be huge!

SKF bearings are key to a new generation of lightweight automotive machine tool spindles from Vigel
2015 October 06, 13:00 CEST
Gothenburg, Sweden, 6 October: SKF, the knowledge engineering company, has developed a performance bearing arrangement that forms the heart of a new generation of machine tool spindles. These have been designed by Vigel S.p.A., the leading Italian manufacturer of advanced CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining centers, and are a key step in the company's program of improving still further the performance, accuracy and functionality of its machine tools.
Founded in 1947, Vigel is a leading international company in designing and manufacturing technologies. It has a worldwide presence, in order to provide close proximity to its customers, with production plants in Torino, Italy, and Pune, India, and sales and service subsidiaries in the United States (U.S.), Mexico and China. Vigel multi-spindle machining centers are sold to customers in a number of industrial sectors around the world, in particular automotive, where they are used either as stand-alone or integrated in-line systems, for the production of parts such as powertrain, chassis, transmission and brake components.
Daniele Francesia Villa, Standard Products Development Manager at Vigel, explains that, "Over the years, we have built a strong reputation for the quality, performance and reliability of our machining centers. We work closely with each customer, engineering machining systems that meet their exact requirements and developing solutions that help them adapt to changing market conditions".
Over the last few decades, Vigel products have evolved from special purpose machines to high speed horizontal and vertical multi-spindle machining centers. Compact and dynamic, these machines are designed to meet medium-high production volumes and deliver world class manufacturing standards. As part of its ongoing research and development program, Vigel works closely with its strategic suppliers on both the design and engineering of manufacturing technologies in order to further improve the performance and reliability of its equipment.
"Our new, quick-change, multi-purpose spindle designs are an important step in this process, enabling customers to reduce manufacturing times while improving still further the quality and complexity of components."
One of the challenges for Vigel was to develop spindles that were quick and easy to change yet still retained the standards of quality and reliability traditionally associated with the company's products. In addition, each spindle had to be suitable for use in both horizontal and vertical machining centers, and be capable of handling the wide variety of stresses imposed by the different speeds and axial loads from each machining operation; for example, milling and turning operations for different parts can range in speed from 1 rpm to over 12,000 rpm.
Vigel has worked with SKF for over 30 years and it was therefore a logical step for the company to call in SKF's specialists to help with the development of the new spindle system. Together, the two companies investigated a number of options before arriving at a solution that utilizes SKF's super-precision angular contact ball bearings.
These compact and lightweight bearings have been designed to run at extremely high speeds, with excellent stiffness, load carrying capability and operating life. For the new Vigel spindles, SKF supplied sealed high-speed super-precision angular contact ball bearings with ceramic balls.
Each spindle incorporates a dedicated and customized matched bearing set that creates a unique combination of characteristics, especially the ability to operate at high speeds with high levels of stiffness.
These super-precision bearings are protected by integral seals, mounted on both sides of the bearing and manufactured from oil and wear resistant NBR, reinforced with steel inserts. This solution eliminates the risk of contamination from cutting fluids or minute particles of metal swarf. The seal also has a specially designed profile that, in conjunction with high quality, low viscosity bearing grease, minimizes frictional losses and rolling resistance.
Giovanni Nava, Machine Tool Account Manager at SKF, explains, "This bearing arrangement has been developed to give Vigel a solution that is tough, compact and lightweight. This helps them to minimize the size, weight and complexity of their new spindles. Just as importantly, the use of ceramic balls with sealed, lubricated for life, super precision bearings means that operating life is significantly extended, even under the most demanding conditions."
The new Vigel spindles have a modular design, which makes tool changeover quick and simple. As Daniele Francesia Villa says, "This helps our customers to reduce downtime and improve productivity." He concludes, "The new spindles are the smallest and lightest that we have ever produced yet, thanks to the close cooperation with the SKF application engineers, are among the stiffest, most accurate and reliable that we are able to offer. This exciting new generation of CNC machine tool spindles clearly differentiate Vigel from competitors, will allow our customers to cut costs while improving component quality, and give us the opportunity to penetrate new markets around the world."

Jump down to: How Educators are Using Google Earth :: Google Earth as a Research Tool:: Good Places to Get Data :: Keeping Up with Google Earth Developments
- to support hands-on inquiry by students in computer classrooms.
- as a basis for homework assignments.
- for dynamic presentations during class lectures.
- for inquiry during class presentations.
- to create imagery and maps for PowerPoint, Word, and other presentation tools.
- as a data discovery, organization, and distribution tool for research projects.
- to enrich discussion of an issue that arises spontaneously during an informal classroom discussion.
Google Earth offers the means to display geographic data from a wide variety of sources together in a geospatial context. This data includes imagery for the entire globe at varying resolutions that contains a great deal of interpretable visual information. Students can use it to find their homes, schools, and other locations that are familiar to them. They can make inferences by comparing familiar places to other locations. In addition, students can learn about the world through rich layers of mappable data offered by Google's server and a great deal of third-party content. They can also create and display their own data.
To obtain the free version of Google Earth see Google Earth: Explore, Search, and Discover.
How Educators are Using Google EarthMany examples of how educators are using Google Earth are documented on the web. Following are some of those examples, and some articles.
Peter Selkin has written an excellent article on Google Earth and Geoscience Education.
Declan DePaor at Old Dominion University is having students create a collection of Google Earth teaching materials entitled Google Earth Science. This set of materials includes KMZ files that represented various types of tectonic plate boundaries, mountain belts, volcanoes, and other geological features as cross sections, and includes a profile of the atmosphere and Earth's magnetic field. Cutaways also represent the three-dimensional structure of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, the Earth, and our moon.
For the Google Earth plugin running in a browser, Declan De Paor, Steve Wild, Mladen Dordevic, Steve Whitmeyer, Nick Pence, and Liz Weisbrot, developed a set of Google Earth Geoscience Labs and Exercises. These focus on geologic landforms, the geology of Virginia, glacial geology, mid-Atlantic tectonics in Iceland, tectonics of Tonga, and other topics.
Students in Dr. Christine Erlien's writing course, The View from Above: Google Earth's Impact, at Duke University, created a blog in order to share their knowledge of how Google Earth can, and is, impacting education. Their work can be found at Teaching (and Learning) with Google Earth.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers a course Geog493: Exploring the Virtual Earth that teaches students how to use Google Earth, and offers introductory KML exercises.
At Middlebury College in Vermont, the Food Mapping project is helping students understand how their meals relate to the Earth system. They can trace the ingredients for several types of meals back to their sources.
In his post to the Google Earth Community Forums, Antarctica with ANDRILL, Ken Mankoff is making data from Antarctica available for educational use in Google Earth.
Russell Tarr has created a Google Earth tour of Francis Drake's Circumnavigation.
A Google Earth Community member who uses the name gangof4 started a thread Any other college profs here who use GE in the classroom. Replies from other educators have described projects that include:
- overlaying a geologic map of the Grand Canyon on Google Earth to illustrate stratigraphy
- depicting sites of land-use disputes for a law class
- viewing glaciers, folds and faults, and reefs
- previewing and reviewing sites of field trips
- tours of ecosystems
At the Yale University Peabody Museum of Natural History, Google Earth was used as part of a human origins exhibit. See Google Earth Community: Google Earth for interactive museum exhibits.
Warren Apel initiated a thread, Google Earth Community: Some uses for Google Earth in elementary school.
Bob Yewchuk presents many ideas for educational use of Google Earth in the thread Google Earth Community: Making Google Earth an educational "killer app" .
Investigating wind energy with Google Earth engages students in assessing the suitability of a site for a wind farm after considering arguments for and against using the site for that purpose.
A group of educators in New York State have developed New York Landscape Regions in Google Earth. This consists of a collection of datasets containing placemarks and overlays of USGS topographic maps for sites throughout the state, organized by physiographic region. The collection is primarily designed for high school Earth science classes, but can also be useful for introductory college geoscience courses. The project can serve as a model for datasets for other states.
Each December, the American Geophysical Union holds its annual meeting in San Francisco. Sessions and/or presentations on geobrowsers have been offered in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Future sessions and presentations that include the use of geobrowsers are also anticipated.
Also see T25. Google Earth Science: Geological Applications of Interactive Web-Based Maps.
Juicy Geography has a lesson on Modeling sea level change on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Real World Math has lesson plans for pre-college classes that use Google Earth to teach mathematics.
Google Earth can support field studies by importing GPS data that has been saved in GPX format. GPS Tracks are represented as paths in Google Earth, and waypoints become placemarks.
Google Earth data is in the form of KML (Keyhole Markup Language), which is an XML-based text format that can be edited directly in a text editor. Data created in Google Earth can be saved in KML format or in a zipped format known as KMZ. Because KML is a text format, spreadsheets can be used to create KML from data in tabular format provided that it contains latitude and longitude information in a systematic manner. Learning to edit or create KML directly outside Google Earth allows more flexibility than being restricted to the Google Earth user interface to create the data. To learn more about KML, see KML Documentation Introduction.
When exploring places in Google Earth, students should make it a standard practice to look for points in the layers that in that location. They should learn to look for relationships between information from varied subject areas in order to develop an interdisciplinary thinking perspective.
Prior to conducting a school field trip for any purpose, educators should add value to the experience by enriching the students' geographic perspective of the landscape they are about to traverse. The students should be given an opportunity to explore the route on Google Earth in order to develop a conceptual geographic context for the landscape that they are about to travel. They should be encouraged to investigate layers that contain information about places along the route.
Google Sketchup is a companion program to Google Earth, also available for free download, for creating, modifying and sharing 3D models of buildings, bridges, and other structures. The models can be added as data for display in a geographic context in Google Earth's 3D Viewer.
See the Google Earth User Guide for information about the techniques of using Google Earth.
Formative assessment is an essential part of the educational process. In the computer laboratory, the instructor can observe the students directly as they engage in activities. Discussions during and after the activities provide constant feedback to the instructor, and student responses can reveal whether the students are learning what is intended. During the activities, the discussion can be modified toward mitigating any problems in understanding that are discovered during the discussion. If any of the difficulties in achieving the learning goals are caused by shortcomings of the instructional materials, they can should be modified to address these problems for the benefit of future classes. Instructors who use these activities in their classes should be provided with a means of communicating with each other, so that they can use each other's experiences with their classes to upgrade the teaching materials. This information should also be communicated to the groups who host the materials on the web or otherwise disseminate it.
Students should be expected to hand in the results of their work either electronically or in hard copy form. If the activity involved creating any KMZ files, they should be submitted electronically so they can be viewed in Google Earth. This can also enable the instructor to determine whether the learning goals have been met.
SERC provides an Assessment page to help educators and evaluation professionals make better use of evaluation in Earth system science education.
For K-12 educators, the National Science Teachers Association has posted a review of the book Science Formative Assessment by Page Keeley, published by Corwin Press, Thousand Oaks, California in 2008.
Google Earth as a Research Tool
In addition to its value for classroom education, Google Earth is an effective tool for making data available for research purposes. For example, the United States Geological Survey distributes stream gage data in KML format on the Google Earth Streamflow KML Files page of its WaterWatch site. The Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy makes a favorability map and temperature gradient data available for viewing in Google Earth at the bottom of its GIS Regional Spatial Data Download page.
The 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco included four sessions on Using Geobrowsers for Science. Presentation topics included the following:
- Visualizing Large Datasets with LAS and Google Earth
- Historical Natural Hazards Data in Google Earth
- How to Display Hazards and other Scientific Data Using Google Maps
- Climate Change in Google Earth
- Utilizing Geobrowsers to Convey Critical Information during a Natural Disaster
- FlashMap: A Versatile and Intuitive Web-based User Interface for Rich Heterogeneous Geospatial Data

Keeping in Touch with Google Earth DevelopmentsGoogle Earth is periodically updated to incorporate new functionality, and people are continually developing new data and finding new uses for Google Earth. The following sites are good sources of information about these developments, and it is a good idea to visit them regularly.
The Google Earth Community Forums
The Google Earth Community Forums are online discussions about Google Earth and many Earth-related topics. They are intended for sharing information about places, events, and techniques, and for exchanging data. You can join the Google Earth Community by registering and specifying a login name, password, and other information in an online form. Thereafter, you can initiate discussion threads or reply to posts in existing threads. Before submitting your first post, become familiar with existing ones, including the announcements and "sticky threads" marked by a push pin at the top of the index for each forum. Avoid submitting posts that essentially provide information that has already been posted.
Posts to the Google Earth Community Forums can have a KMZ, KML or zip file attached. The KMZ and KML files are intended to be opened in Google Earth or Google Maps, and the zip files can be offered as archives that contain other file types, such as Word, PowerPoint and image files.
In order to include images in the body of a post to the Forums, you must upload the images to a server such as Flickr or ImageShack and reference them from there. In most cases, image hosting services request or require that images embedded in forum posts or in pages on other servers function as links back to the host. In the case of Flickr, embedded photographs need to specifically link to their photo pages.
Additional Information about Google Earth Developments
The Google Google Maps blog offers news and other information about Google Maps and other geographic topics.
Google Earth Hacks offers forums, news, data, and other services for Google Earth users.
The Google Earth Blog by Frank Taylor offers Google Earth news, commentary, and tips. The news often consists of notifications of imagery updates, for example. Frank is currently sailing around the world and using Google Earth to guide and document his trip.
Stefan Geens offers the Ogle Earth blog, which provides news about virtual globes, with a primary focus on Google Earth.
Bjørn Sandvik's Master Maps Blog offers news, data, and tools concerning Google Earth and the Google Earth API. The site also discusses and provides examples of animations and techniques for representing data in Google Earth that are generally associated with GIS.
Google Earth Lessons provides educators with information, ideas, and data to enhance classroom instruction with Google Earth.
Juicy Geography, by Noel Jenkins, is a collection of ideas, lessons and resources for teaching geographyGoogle Earth Design is a blog that offers advice on how to use Google Earth, tips on map design, and commentary on the design of Google Earth KMZ data that is available on the web.
An effective means of keeping up with Google Earth developments is to attend or consult the literature or web content for meetings. Regularly occurring events that focus on geobrowsers are offered at meetings of the Geological Society of America and the American Geophysical Union.
Google allows non-commercial personal use of the images created from Google Earth, provided that copyrights and attributions are preserved. Works created by an agency of the United States government are public domain at the moment of creation. This means that those images can be freely modified, redistributed and used for commercial purposes.

This is a text adventure where you have to force your character to overcome writer's block and make progress on your dissertation while there is still time. Not just to complete the thesis, but also to save your disintegrating relationship. Though it's a few years old, it has contemporary resonance for current-day students.
The game is played through an online gaming website (you'll need Flash enabled) which unfortunately is one of those with distracting and garish ads and icons across much of the screen estate. If you can block those out of your vision, it's a standard text in visual appearance and operation. Alternately, if more technically minded you can possibly download and install the game onto your own PC or Mac.
From the website:
The problem? You're a graduate student working on your dissertation, but you haven't gotten any writing done in months. Your girlfriend Violet has put her life on hold, waiting for you to finish, and she's getting fed up. If you don't get a thousand words written today, your relationship is over and she flies home to Australia. Unfortunately, your office is full of every kind of distraction, from the window overlooking campus hijinx to the computer on your desk, always ready to show you the latest blogs and web comics instead of your chapter-in-progress. So you have no choice but to shut out everything that's causing you distraction so that you can turn in a few hours of solid work for once.
The game is the winner of the 2008 Interactive Fiction competition, has won several other awards, scored highly in reviews and gets regular (positive) mentions from the academic press and PhD students for both its accuracy, and as a suitable distraction from completing your thesis in real life.

rotflmao Israeli forum discussing "The Islamic Gold Dinnar
By Craig R. Smith, CEO SATC
A.D.700 - A.D. 1924: From the very beginning, Muslims used a gold coin called a Gold Dinar as their form of money. The Gold Dinar remained the official Islamic currency until the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1924... when it disappeared for 77 years.
But on Nov. 7, 2001 -- less than two months after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 -- the Islamic Dinar was officially re-launched by the Islamic Mint in West Malaysia and is now available to the public.
Although a beautiful coin, the Gold Dinar could pose a serious threat to the U.S. economy! In fact, its supporters believe the Gold Dinar will become the official currency of more than 1.5 BILLION Muslims worldwide. Now radical Islam is urging Muslims worldwide to drop the U.S. Dollar and adopt the Gold Dinar as their primary currency!
Since the reissue of the Gold Dinar in November 2001, the U.S. Dollar has dropped to a RECORD LOW against the euro... while the price of gold has SOARED from about $260 per ounce to an 8-year RECORD HIGH of over $410 per ounce. And this is just the beginning!
As the dollar continues to drop, the priced-for-perfection stock market could be impacted dramatically. Unprepared investors could lose BILLIONS! It's no coincidence that Osama bin Laden chose to strike the World Trade Center on Sept. 11... Why?
Because, the World Trade Center represented the heart and soul of the U.S. economy. And destroying the U.S. economy is the main pillar of bin Laden's strategy to bring down the United States.
Back in 1997, there was a huge and devastating currency raid by the famous trader, George Soros, who leveled Asian monetary units and caused the major Asian economies to falter. It is true that some of those economies have not fully recovered. However, it is also true that history may point to this currency raid and raider as the germination of the seed for the uniting factor of Islamic economic power that changed the economic and monetary world.
On Jan 18 Forbes reported that Sell oil for gold, Mahathir tells Saudi Arabia ... "Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia should sell oil for gold, not dollars, to avoid being "short-changed" by a decline in the U.S. currency ... He suggested countries tally their total annual imports and exports and settle the difference at the end of the year in "gold dinars."
Recent news supports the idea that the Gold Dinar, with support from 53 other Islamic nations, is a planned offensive against the use of the dollar as a settlement currency for oil. It is perceived, and correctly so, that the Islamic world is controlled via the use of the US dollar as the main settlement currency.
When I say "controlled" I mean whatever happens economically in the USA is exported there via the dollar. Dollars exchanged for the Gold Dinar currency as a measure for gold settlements quarterly or gold convertible to pay for certain oil imports would end all the debate of whether or not gold has a place in the monetary system.
IF it was just the radical fundamentalists that were pushing the gold Dinar, you could presume that this movement would never get off the ground, BUT it is not.
On Jan. 8, 2004 the Malaysian Star reports, "Malaysian gold mine bought to promote gold dinar -- MALAYSIA-BASED IGD Practice (Labuan) Ltd is buying into a gold mine in Kazakhstan in a bid to promote the use of gold dinar globally."
According to John Myers, Outstanding Investments A 1,300-year-old gold dagger;
"Many Muslims believe that the United States is responsible for the enormous devastation suffered by hundreds of millions of Muslims during the Asian Currency Crisis of 1997. This ANGER will provide a powerful incentive for Muslims to get even with the United States by selling dollars and buying Islamic Gold Dinars.
Just take a look at this quote from the Islamic Mint Web site:
"... he heard the Messenger of Allah say: "'A time is certainly coming over mankind in which there will be nothing
which will be of use save a dinar...'"
-- Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal
I think it's obvious. These folks don't just want the dollar to drop, they want the U.S. dollar to disappear. Permanently!
Last year SwissAmerica.com posted a ground-breaking story by Jim Sinclair, "The Gold Dinar: A Nuclear Wild Card," which quoted the Islamic "AL-FATH AL-'ALI AL-MALIKI" (PP. 164-165)
"This Fatwa considers paper-money to be fulus, because it only represents money and does not have value as merchandise. It follows that since Zakat cannot be paid in fulus, which has no value as merchandise, it cannot be paid in paper-money, which value as weight of paper is null. On this basis, it becomes clear the urgent need to restore the use of the Dinar and the Dirham as payment of Zakat. If the millions of Muslims who now make their payment of Zakat in paper money would do it in newly minted Dinars and Dirham's, they will put in circulation millions of gold and silver coins into the mainstream of daily commercial activities of our communities. That single act will became the most important political act of the century, opening the path towards the establishment our own halal free currency breaking away from the usurious financial system. The return to the payment of zakat in gold and silver is an essential part of the reestablishment of Islam."
Those are serious words and should not be taken lightly. You see, the establishment of a gold-based currency is rebellion against the IMF as it is distinctly forbidden under IMF rules.
Here is where the Gold Dinar story gets interesting -- and even somewhat ironic to those who understand the Judeo-Christian principle of both tithing and the biblical requirement of just weights and measures in an honest money system.
According to Islam, Muhammad was reported to have said, ââ¬ÅIslam is based upon five pillars:
÷ to make Shahadataan (declaration of faith)
÷ to establish Salaah (formal prayer)
÷ to make Sawm (fasting in the month of Ramadaan)
÷ to give Zakat (or Zakaah) (charity)
÷ to perform Hajj (pilgrimage to the Ka'bah)."
It is this fourth ââ¬Åpillarââ¬Â that I want to focus on for a moment. The fundamentalist branch of Islam (about 10% of 1.3 billion followers ââ¬â thatââ¬â¢s 130 million! ââ¬â about 1/3 of U.S. population) holds to the belief system stated above ââ¬Â¦ ââ¬ÅThe return to the payment of Zakat in gold and silver is an essential part of the reestablishment of Islam."
The literal meaning of the word Zakat is: grow (in goodness) or 'increase', 'purifying' or 'making pure'. The vital importance of Zakat is reflected in Islamic law: "My mercy encompasses all things, but I will specify it for the righteous who give Zakat" (7:156). ââ¬ÅZakat must be given away "on the day of harvest" (6:141). Whenever we receive "net income," the "known amount" of Zakat should be paid or set aside. This known amount is 2.5%.ââ¬Â SOURCE: Submission.org
According to Viewislam.comââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬ÂZakat (or Zakaah) is an obligatory form of charity on savings. It is not an income tax, but a savings tax. Its major recipients are the working poor, who cannot meet all of their needs without some additional help, and the destitute, who cannot even meet their basic needs. It is also used to pay off the debts of those who are unable to pay off their own debts, to free slaves and ransom prisoners of war and to reconcile the hearts of new Muslims who may not yet have a firm foundation of faith. Other lawful recipients are stranded travelers, those engaged in jihad and employees of the state working to collect and distribute zakaah. Their wages come from it.
"Zakaah is due on the following forms of wealth: Gold and silver, Business inventory, Livestock, Agricultural produce and even buried treasure. The amount due is 2.5% of savings when it reaches the equivalent value of 85 grams (approximately three ounces) of gold. This minimum amount on which zakaah is due is called the nisaab. Although some scholars say that money should be pegged to the nisaab of silver, i.e., 595 grams, the majority considers gold to be a more reasonable peg for developed economies." [The Practice of Zakat by country]
So, under Islamic law Zakat is a form of Muslin tithing to God for the support of the less fortunate or jihad -- and it is to be paid in gold or silver, not paper currencies without any intrinsic value.
It is clear that the restoration of a gold and silver dinar is part of the mission of Islamic fundamentalist and, if successful, it could send the value of the U.S dollar spiraling downward if the Arab world decides to start valuing the price of oil in gold dinars instead of U.S. dollars.
The U.S. dollar has never had as many enemies as it has today. Does it make sense to have all of your assets linked to the U.S. dollar right now -- OR -- to have a portion of your assets directly linked to gold?
According to author and geopolitical expert, Larry Abrahams ...
This war [on Terror] is what the Jihadists themselves are calling the "Third Great Jihad." They are operating within the framework of a time line which reaches back to the very creation of Islam in the seventh century and are presently attempting to recreate the dynamics which gave rise to the religion in the first two hundred years of its existence.
The strategy for this "holy war" did not begin with the planning of the destruction of the World Trade Center. It began with the toppling of the Shah of Iran back in the late 1970ùs. With his plans and programs to "westernize" his country, along with his close ties to the U.S. and subdued acceptance of the State of Israel, the Shah was the soft target.
The Third Jihad now had a base of operations and the oil wealth to support its grand design or what they call the "Great Caliphate". What this design calls for is the replacement of all secular leadership in any country with Muslim majorities. This would include, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, all the Emirates, Sudan, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia, Indonesia and finally Israel.
As a part of this strategy, forces of the jihad will infiltrate governments and the military as a prelude to taking control, once the secular leadership is ousted or assassinated. Such was the case in Lebanon leading to the Syrian occupation and in Egypt with the murder of Anwar Sadat, along with the multiple attempts on the lives of Hussein in Jordan, Mubarak of Egypt and Musharraf in Pakistan. Pakistan is a particular prize because of its nuclear weapons.
The long-range strategy of the Third Jihad counts on three strategic goals. First, the U.S. withdrawing from the region just as it did in Southeast Asia, following Vietnam. Second, taking control of the oil wealth in the Muslim countries, which would be upwards to 75% of known reserves; third, using nuclear weapons or other WMDs to annihilate Israel. A further outcome of successfully achieving these objectives would be to place the United Nations as the sole arbiter in East/West negotiations and paralyze western resistance, leading to total withdrawal from all Islamic dominated countries.
We are in the battle of our lives, a battle which will go on for many years possibly even generations. If we fail to understand what we are facing or falter in the challenge of "knowing our enemy" the results will be catastrophic. Imagine a world where al Qaeda regimes control 75% of the world's oil, have at their disposal nuclear weapons, legions of willing suicide soldiers, and our national survival is dependent on the good graces of Kofi Annan and the United Nations.
SOURCE: THE CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS: The Third Great Jihad My recommendation is to understand that terrorism can take many forms, including currencies. The rapid decline of the U.S. dollar in the last two years should be telling us something which historians have long warned ... "the destiny of a currency determines the destiny of a nation."
Every paper currency without a gold/silver backing in history has ultimately fallen to it's true value ... ZERO!! Could it happen to the precious U.S. dollar? YES!
The U.S. Constitution demands a gold and silver-backed money system. Recently New Hampshire proposed moving to a gold/silver state currency (HB-1342) for that very reason. Other states are now considering the same.
ha ha ha ha
I guess they fear gold as much as they'd fear interest as interest is forbidden in Islam. Exploiting the poor, making the poor poorer, and the rich richer.
Interest is a terrible evil and we can see it's fruits today in western society.
According to twisted Talmudic/rabbinic teachings, it is encouraged to use usury/interest upon non-jews, but recommended not to to use interest amongst Jews as it is a wicked practice.
Ironically the torah says this:
If thou lend money to any of My people, even to the poor with thee, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest. (Exodus, 22:25)[28]
So one would think interest should be outlawed so that no one is harmed and that the flow of wealth is just.

A few aussie banks now have entered the islamic finance field and have seen the big potential islamic finance can bring to australia.Both westpac and NAB for example have islamic homeloans.
"The National Australia Bank (NAB) is considering introducing Sharia loans into Australia, the funds for which will be supplied by its non-profit financial arm. This seems to have occurred shortly after comments by Federal Assistant Treasurer Chris Bowen, who claims that introducing Sharia law into Australia will create more jobs"
"WESTPAC is poised to bolster its exposure to the fast-growing Islamic finance market by offering a commodity trading facility intended for overseas investors operating under the principles of Islamic law.
Islamic finance prohibits the earning of interest. Instead, there is a focus on profit sharing based on the buying and selling of tangible assets such as property.
The move by Westpac, which targets Islamic institutions, coincides with a new emphasis by the Australian government on Islamic financing"

Over time, 'Black Friday' has stopped being restricted to a single day of discounting, with campaigns instead often extending over a weekend, a week, or even the whole of November. So when, we may wonder, actually is Black Friday this year?
Online sales soar in November to record the highest growth of the year
