On the same day former school district Superintendent Crawford Lewis, his former construction and two others pleaded not guilty to charges in a construction corruption case, one of the defendants asked to have the trial moved out of the county.
Lewis, former Chief Operating Officer Pat Reid, her ex-husband Tony Pope and Reid's former secretary Cointa Moody pleaded in DeKalb County Superior Court Aug. 13. Attorneys for Reid and Lewis asked Judge Cynthia Becker to drop a series of charges. Reid's attorney, B.J. Bernstein, requested to change the trial venue due to wide media coverage of the state's investigation into the defendants.
She also asked to move the trial because she said any DeKalb County taxpaying juror has a direct connection to the defendants because the case involves millions of taxpayer dollars.
"The media coverage here has been fairly intense," she said.
Bernstein also claimed "very vicious" comments throughout the blogosphere may have contributed to a poisoned opinion of the defendants, but prosecutors argued not all of the coverage has been focused on Reid and none of it has been overly inflammatory and unlikely to affect jurors. Moving the trial would also significantly increase trial costs, prosecutors said.
A grand jury indicted all four in May on racketeering charges claiming Reid–with the help of Lewis and Moody–slipped school construction contracts to Pope's architecture firm or companies through which he subcontracted. Lewis, Reid and Moody accepted several forms of graft, including money, tickets to top sporting events such as the Masters golf tournament and other perks.
Reid not only broke laws, Special Assistant Attorney General John Floyd said–part of her job was to make sure others didn't as well.
"She isn't just subject to them," he said. "She was the guardian."
Bernstein asked Becker to drop several of the racketeering charges because she said the indictment did not show Reid broke any laws–only school board policies. A grand jury isn't equipped with the sophistication to accurately judge such a complicated and detailed investigation, she said.
"It's always coming back to board policies," she said. "They make an implication that violation of a board policy rises to the level of R.I.C.O. violation."
Bernstein also argued that the four defendants were merely co-workers – or "associates" – not an organized criminal conspiracy.
Lewis, who was terminated by the school board in April after a 33-year career with the school district, faces several charges: four racketeering counts, theft by a government employee and bribery. Reid faces seven charges: four racketeering counts, theft by a government employee, bribery and falsifying public documents.
Pope, an architect who worked for the school system, was charged with four counts of racketeering, and Moody was also charged with four counts of racketeering and theft by a government employee.
The scheme focused on a grouping of construction projects: Columbia High School, Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy, Arabia Mountain High School and the Mountain Industrial Center in Stone Mountain, where the district has relocated its administrative offices.
Becker said rulings on the charges could be expected within a week.

Tuesday, July 17, the remaining defendants, Charles Baker, Chrissy Baker and Linda Poole al entered please of 'guilty' to their charges in Gordon County Superior Court, and received varying sentences to serve in prison, according to a press release from the Gordon County Sheriff's Office.
The sentencing wraps up an investigation and hundreds of man hours into the case started in 2009, according to the release.
In April of 2010, 20 defendants were arrested and indicted with different offenses. These offenses are violations of the (Georgia) Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organziation 'RICO' Act: conspiracy to traffic in methamphetamine, conspiracy to possess methamphetamine with intent to distribute, sale of methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine and theft, according to the release.
The bust was called "Operation Strong-Safety," and involved an 11-month long investigation including surveillance, undercover work, covert recordings, controlled drug purchases, and many arrest and search warrants.
According to the release, the RICO Act is difficult to enforce and follow through on charges due to the monumental paperwork and man-hours involved to convict a large number of individuals, but as a part of the Major Crimes Unit, the Gordon County Sheriff's Office worked in conjunction with the Gordon County District Attorney Joe Campbell to see indictments through to jail time served.
In past Calhoun Times articles, the ring was reportedly believed to have ties with Mexican drug cartels and participated in counter law enforcement tactics surveilling local law enforcement.
"For the past 25 or so years, local law enforcement has practiced 'picking off' individual drug dealers, individual burglars and thieves, and individual 'fencers' of stolen property. This tactic has proved largely unsuccessful, and has mostly resulted in large caseloads for probation and parole officers supervising repeat offenders. The response to crime has been reactive rather than proactive," said Sheriff Mitch Ralston from a previous article in 2009, but says is still true today. "These organizations are like a poison oak vine, taking away a few leaves here and there and there is essentially useless. You must cut away the vine, and that's what we're doing in a RICO case, cutting away the vine. The reason I christened this case 'Operation Strong Safety' is that the detectives, like a strong safety football player, must be agile, knowledgeable, and react with swiftness. I am proud of what the Major Crimes Unit has accomplished."

Experts: LI gasoline infrastructure OK so far
Petroleum industry experts said Friday they don't expect the current storm to disrupt the supply of gasoline to Long Island, as happened after superstorm Sandy.
The one caveat in their prediction is that if the blizzard of 2013 causes widespread power outages to the region's infrastructure, including a gasoline pipeline from New Jersey to Long Island, the supply of gasoline could get crimped.

His lawyers are fighting to get it off the market.
Lawyers for Kanye West have sent out a cease and desist letter to various media outlets who posted screen shots of the rapper's alleged sex tape. According to RadarOnline.com, the tape is 20 minutes long and appears to be shot in a hotel room with a Kim Kardashian look-a-like named Monyy Mon. On the tape, Kanye and the woman have sex, but never kiss. Ye -- of course, is wearing a condom.
The site said that Kanye is aware that he is being taped, because he is the one who set the camera up in the beginning and cut it off at the end. The film was reportedly being shopped for $1 million.
Kanye was reportedly "freaked out" when he found out that the tape was being shopped. A source said, "The sex tape is being shopped right now and there's a lot of interest, but Kanye is freaking out! He doesn't want this tape out and will do anything to make sure it stays private. If this were to hit the market it would be worth a fortune... there would definitely be a lot of people wanting to see this!"
The source added, "Kanye was practically in tears when he heard the tape was being shopped."
A sex industry insider also said that the video was shot sometime shortly before Kanye started dating Kim.

I was in Salem during a terrible raining day, actually I went there just for fun without expect anything special.
There is nothing special there as the whole town is just a place for play with tourists that have nothing better to do.
Nothing looks real and all the witches' gadgets and shops make all feeling worst. Basically is like a Disneyland about witches.
It was quite hard to get good photos with the never ending rain but my wide angle lenses helped me with some good image.
Salem was founded in A.D. 1626 at the site of an ancient Native American village and trading center but one of the most widely known aspects of Salem is its history of witchcraft allegations, which started with Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, and their friends playing with a Venus glass and egg.
Salem achieved further legal notoriety as the site of the Dorothy Talbye trial, where a mentally ill woman was hanged for murdering her daughter, because at the time the Massachusetts common law made no distinction between insanity and criminal behavior.
By 1790, Salem was the sixth largest city in the country, and a world famous seaport particularly in the China trade
Codfish was exported to the West Indies and Europe. Sugar and molasses were imported from the West Indies, tea from China, and pepper from Sumatra. Salem ships also visited Africa, Russia, Japan and Australia.

Geneva is located by Lake Geneva and surrounded by the Jura Mountains and the Alps, only a short distance away from the best ski resorts of Europe. In addition to its magnificent scenery, Geneva is distinguished by its internationality: the European headquarters of the UN, the Red Cross, and the World Health Organization are located in the city, and 40 % of the city's population is foreigners.
Cruise ships take passengers on tours on Lake Geneva all year round. Onboard the ship you'll have a perfect view of the Jet d'Eau fountain which shoots water to a height of 140 metres. In the summer, you can take a swim in the lake from the beach by the Bains des Pâquis spa. The best ambience in restaurants can be found in the mediaeval old town. The beautiful Place du Bourg-de-Four in the vicinity of the magnificent Cathedral of St. Peter is one of many perfect spots to take a rest. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire museum offers art enthusiasts the chance to see works by Cézanne, Van Gogh and Picasso.

Does 16s rRNA gene prove all Abrahamic religions wrong?
Posted 15 March 2012 - 08:37 PM
I think there is already enough proof in the world for intelligent people. It's just that some brains still can't handle the reality.
I read somewhere that 60% of American scientists are agnostic.
Posted 29 August 2012 - 04:24 PM
Remember that the creation account in Genesis was written down over 3500 years ago, and the scientific method has only been around for 500 years or so, and I think I am being generous there. Considering the fact that even in the early-middle 20th century science still thought that proteins, rather than nucleic acid, constituted the hereditary material, you might want to cut other people a bit of slack...
Speaking as an committed Christian, all I can say is that Christianity should not be thought of as a philosophy or a way of thinking, but as the response to historical events (I would also guess that Jews and Muslims would say the same thing). And as for your comments about religious people not really being scientists, I think that Michael Faraday, John Lennox (who has destroyed Dawkins' arguments on a number of occasions) and Francis Collins (who led the public Human Genmoe effort, and who now runs the NIH), just to name three, may dispute your statement...
Posted 29 August 2012 - 11:54 PM
However, swanny has a point as well: religion did not prevent good scientists doing great work. Bottom line: whatever one does/believe at home is fine with me as long as this does not affect his/her intellectual performance or belief in scientific facts.
Coming back to 60% American scientists are agnostic: is it a lot, or little? What about 20-30% of Americans (I do not remember the exact numbers but <50%) believing in evolution, the rest in creationism? Or how about this political candidate (a very religious one) that recently said that women who are raped for real do not get pregnant (and I do not believe that he was the only one thinking so; I believe that a lot of his followers said: if Akin says so...it must be so).

Curtis, on 15 March 2012 - 08:37 PM, said:
Just for the sake of the argument: challenge accepted! I will try my best to argue the other side:
You state that 16S rRNA being conserved enough, is direct proof of evolution. Phylogenetic trees are constructed based on sequencing this gene.
My counterargument is: in recent years, it was shown that 16S rRNA gene can be horizontally transferred. This makes all the phylogenetic trees built on sequencing this gene questionable. This makes evolution (as scientists accept it) questionable. Check this recent article as an example:
The creationisms state: God created one original 16S rRNA gene that was transferred (horizontally) in all the other organisms after their creation by viruses.
Ball in your court
Posted 30 August 2012 - 03:53 PM
I think both curtis and ascacioc are forgetting a very significant factor: the hardline creationists who hold to a literal 7-day creation are not the major voice in Christianity.I am convinced that they are misusing the text as an argument "for" just as much as hardline evolutionists misuse the text as an argument "against". Remember how I said that the text was written 3500 years ago, before the modern understandig of the world? Clearly, that means evolutionists cannot use the text as a proof text by comparing what was written with what we now know (For myself, I can't see how an old earth with the evolution of species can be wrong). It also means that creationists are mistaken when they try to make the document (which was written as Hebrew poetry) into a modern historical summation of how things have come to be as they are.
Seriously, this is a total red herring when it comes to reasonable discussions about religion. No religion at all is centred on its creation narrative, but on the teachings of its leaders. As I said before, Christianity is not a philosophical position: anyone who tries to argue through it or against it (or for it) as though it is a philosophical position is going to come to false conclusions. The only way to get to know what Christianity (or Judaism, or Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, or even Flying Spaghetti Monsterism!) is about is to actually do the research yourself and read the book, in your native language. As you say, ball's in your court...
ascacioc, it is a great ptiy that you were told such a simplistic statement about an atheist being someone who believes in evolution. Even more than that, your fellow PhD student gave a very poor response to you. I am most glad though that you were not involved in my PhD, nor that of people like Lennox and Collins... And I will lob the ball straight back : when God created life, he introduced differences in the 16S RNA as a means to separate the different species. (That last point was made tongue in cheek...)

As to the Bible being God's word, it describes itself as being written by men (and therefore meaningful to their own contemporaries) as they were carried along by God's spirit. That is not to say they were in some kind of trance state when they wrote, but their thoughts were directed or guided to communicate God's words. I suppose some might then protest about how we know that they didn't just write down anything and call it "the word of God". Well, that is where you need to consider how a letter or a book fits into the rest of what God has said. In the 3rd century, several councils met to discuss what should, and should not be included in the Christian Bible, and I believe a similar thing happened centuries before with the Jewish Bible. But even before that, during the late 1st and early 2nd centuries, the various church leaders wrote to each other frequently, discussing what was God's revelation, and what wasn't, and it wasn't just a matter of tossing a coin... Documents were compared very carefully, and those documents that were rejected were rejected for a number of reasons.
If you really want an example of God's word, though, you need go no further than his own "logos" (whence we get "logic" and the suffix "-ology"), Jesus. Like I said, you have to do the research for yourself, you can't just rely on other people's filtering of what they have read about what others have thought about what they have read.

But isn't that exactly what organised religion is? Relying on religious leaders to filter what they have read and been told to decide what the congregation (or whatever) is told?
I think your point that God wouldn't include them because the people of the time wouldn't understand is valid. But I wasn't saying that there was a need for DNA or RNA and all the complexities that discussing those would introduce to be discussed in any text. Rather that the text needs to be consistent with these things.

I'm not sure that the text has to be consistent with what we understand about the universe. It was, after all, the jewish people's understanding of how everything has come t obe as it is. And how would you write the account to make it consistent with 16S data? God first made a bacteia (something invisible until the microscope was invented), then He changed it again and again and again, making bigger and bigger and more different creatures, turning some into fish, some into birds, sone into... Kinda clunky, don't you think?
Posted 31 August 2012 - 12:35 AM
My bottom line is: with a bit of thinking, Bible can be explained in accordance to nowadays knowledge. Even the 16S RNA: either a virus made horizontal transfer or God created everything in an order and built on the previous created organism by changing a bit to label the differences between organisms. If we want to negate religion/creationism, we must come up with stronger arguments.
@swanny: I know I am not open-minded. I would like to be more tolerant. But, nobody is totally open-minded (there are quite a few studies about discrimination and racism that prove that everybody has his/her limit of non-discrimination). Extreme religion (not the moderate one that accepts evolution) is my weak point towards which I cannot be open-minded. My reason tells me that I should be accepting other opinions since I do not hold the absolute truth. But I cannot. This is why I am trying to keep the people who do not share my anti-religion views away from me: to protect them from me. In the long run, if I would have to interact with such a person every day of my life and at some point would have to take the final decision in a situation in which a religious person has a fight (or similar decision) with a non-religious person (in a both right and both wrong situation, not black and white), I am afraid I will be biased. We all are biased a bit (not conscious) towards people who share the same opinions as us. If I have learned something from the discrimination research I have read is that you cannot prevent yourself from discriminating, but you can learn to take care not to put yourself in situations in which you will discriminate which leads to discriminating from the beginning... Nothing is perfect.
Posted 31 August 2012 - 03:44 AM
In my oppinion it's not possible to take the Bible literaly. From that comes the simple implication, that people who take Bible literaly are wrong. Be it for any reason, that it was writen by God (he has strange sense of humor then, since there are contradictions and mistakes) was written by someone by direct inspiration from God (well he should have taken someone more copetent then).. anyway it means that Bible is not a perfect ideal absolutelly correct holly-spirited amazing wonder, but just a book.
I take it that christians finds the book quite interesting, inspiring and wise, the parables or so, why not, that is only the way to percieve it, I found wery amazing insipiring and wise the american remake of The Ring (I mean it, I made me thing really deeply about human nature and I came with a theory obout fluctuation of evil.. but about that maybe some other day..), thing it these thing we see between the lines are in part individuall, so for someone it's Bible, for someone Qur'an for someone esoteric literature and for someone it's the book About the mole who wanted to know who pooped on his head.
So if someone tries to persuade me that only Bible is right or is the only source of morality and wisdom, I just woudn't agree. The christianity and religion in general doesn't have a monopoly for moral. Besides, I personaly tried to read the real Bible (I read the childrens version when I was young, with lot's of images and I thougt that Bible was sort of book with ancient stories) and I was repulsed, really, what they call a Gods superiority I just see arogance. In the Second part I just see the arogance multiplied, I've seen those missionaries telling people on the streets to read Bible. I did, and God... Jesus is a huge jerk! So what does it tell? Wrong translations from hebrew (or what language) they say.. well, lot's of people swear on their translations od Bible as it was a law.
So what does all this say? Nothing, that just I have to find interesting and moving things for me somewhere else than in the Bible, that's all. Bible is just not as unique. It's been massively advertized through centuries.
So basically I have no problem with any religious (or atheist for that matter) person who is not close minded or dogmatic or fanatic of any kind. Apart from that it is a personal thing. Most people who I know and have no problem with don't have those absurd christian (or other religion) oppinions about public matters, and don't take the holly textbooks literally, just as an inspiration (hopefull not of being a jerk). One friend told me about the christian unitarians groups he comes to meet (funny on the fact is, that he's actually jewish), and that he likes it there, because their motto is always doubt, always ask questions. I think that's not a bad move, if they take it seriously. People of this kind can be actually scientists without any problem, because they don't close they eyes from facts. I had one colleague and he once said, partly in joke, that there must be a God, because enzymes are such a wonder. Also the best-known astronomist of my country (you can say such local Carl Sagan) and member of a important skeptic group actually in private believes in God, and was repeatadly explaining that these doesn't exclude. None of those have any problem with evolution or the Big Bang, naturally.
Another question is a personal believe, where I came to conclusion that for me is any religion a merely unnecessary extension above things that are really important. It's like you need a driver to a very required part of hardware, and you can choose either to compile your own (linux style), or choose from existing driver by various companies, some open-source, some freeware, some paid.. and that religion or specifically christianity is like a 250MB HP driver, that installs many things you don't actually need in addition. So I go for the own-compiled driver, it may take longer, but it would fit perfectly, work perfectly and don't bloat on resources. Finally. It would require a life-long version updates anyway.
I share oppinion with several atheist thinkers, that life itself is such a wonder, that is no need to create additional wonder-things above that. Atheism doesn't steal wonder from things, it learns you to look for them in the very ordinary places, through knowledge. There are several laws in the universe (like the law of thermodynamics for example), that simply makes the world the way it is. You don't need testaments to obey them, you can't dissobey them. I mean can you dissobey gravity? (I mean make it non-existent, not for example compansate its effect) You can't. So if there is a question in believing that there is something bigger that us, I don't need to create gods, there is something bigger than us and we're supposed to be humble, not because of gods wrath, but because every action causes reaction and you will eventually pay for it. Now, not in afterlife. And the other thing is, gravity and other "laws" don't needs prayers, churches or groups of people who will tell other people that gravity is great. Gravity doesn't care, you just fall when stumble on Earth, that's gravity and it just works. The obvious limitation is our incomplete understanding if these phenomenons, but they work non the less. But for that reason we should be open minded as Einstein was even ybout these so called laws.
I've seen some document about various "famous" people in a past, who all over the globe shered this one thing, the feeling that there is something bigger than us and that we shall be accountable for our actions, moral etc. Curiously there were atheists, christians, buddhists, muslims, esoterically-centered etc. all kinds of people. This made me finally realise, that what is important is not a religion/or absence of religion, these are but different ways to achieve this. The document also showed many examples of people who shared same "version" of religion, but lack this.. thing..(there was a word for that but I don't know how to translate it to english).. these were the fundamentalist, extremist, blind wrong people, people hurting other people because of different beliefs, people who took the same information from each religion and took it wrong.
So, maybe we should not focus on religion at all, but on other things, is the person open-minded? Can he take facts? Can he admit he was wrong? Can he act responsibly and not arrogantly and selfish?
It's not important that he goes to the church each Sunday if he does, and it's not important that he is atheist if he's a selfish jerk who took literally "the stronger always wins" twistedly from Darwin for a change.
I never trust anything that can't be doubted.

So I won't go completely overboard with the other things you have written about, and turn this into a full-scale apologetic (sorry, I do have a tendancy to over-respond...), can I just say that while I see your point, I have a pile of reasons for not agreeing with it.

True: you have to see it in the "light of time", but then why are we still seeing people out there claiming that it is 100% correct ? Why are there still people out there that do not understand that most of the bible is illustrative , figure of speech, view of that area and not literally what happened.
Also: I do not completely agree with what you state , even this (what you now state) is a figure of speech and the one who wrote this, might not (I am pretty sure of this) be literally meaning we are made from clay.
Lots of the stories in the bible are "stories" , lots of them are written during bad times and were ment as a pass time! Also: people dont seem to realise that many of these stories were passed on orally and later written down .. We all know what happens if you pass a story orally...
How come religious people are blind for these arguments?
Its a proven scientific fact that the bible is a gathering of stories from different times and still there are people out there claiming it was written by 1 person during 1 "lifetime".
Also: the idea that a book or orally passed on story would be kept unchanged during all those years is idiotic. There are indeed some writing evidences, old "bibles" , but they are not as old as where the origin of the bible is situated.
The oldest one is just found in bits and pieces.
Teachings are the highest moral code? An eye for an eye?
If you would live the way it is written down in the bible (litterally), we would be in total war.
And massively advertised, its because of chirstianity's ability to spread through the world to all people? What?
Are you forgetting how the "christians" did spread their so called religion?
(ok, I confess, many of the so called "spreading" of believe was an excuse to conquer and get rich, but still......)
But in general: there is absolutely no problem in spreading any believe (it can be any idiotic believe, just think of the most idiotic thing out there) if you have enough power and are able to "brainwash" people and keep the people "stupid" and afraid.
Thats how religions thrieved for many years: out of fear! Think about the devil and hell!

I put 7.5 hours on this the first time i used it, works great in my two small yards , and turned my pecan orchard into a clean cut field! THE GOOD > - easy to assemble out of the box and install/remove from the unit - holds a ton - makes picking up leaves quick work even when wet - dumps easy THE BAD > - pending your yard type it can be dusty when moving slowly!!! all in all works like a CHAMP !

I have tried to make sure that these bins are emptied and dry out before they are stored so they do not rot. So far - so good. No problems and they are nice and light to carry. Only problem is that the chute clogs really easily if the grass is moist or over 2 inches tall. I have to disconnect it every 2 minutes which makes the mowing take forever. Sometimes I cannot always choose a day when the grass is bone dry even though I try. Also I wish there was a way to know the chute was blocked without having to continuously watch the little wheel on the side. When it stops, it is blocked or full. For the money it compares well with the competition.

As with most baggers, after full, you do have to remove the chute and unclog. Left bag fills first, and then the right. Overall it works well and is easy to dump. In retrospect I should have purchased the 3 bag model for 42" decks.

My original intent was to mulch as much as possible so I got a pull behind sweeper for the fall leaves in lue of a bagger. My mower does a decent job at mulching and the Craftsman sweeper does a fine job sweeping... but the mower with the bagger does an impeccable job when the grass is caught rather than mulched. The unit is easy to put on. The bags are sized so they are not too heavy when full. Surprisingly, it didn't take up that much more room in the garage when left mounted.

Bought this bagger because my age no longer allowed me to rake and gather leaves manually for shredding. Vacuum does an excellent job except for one thing: the twin bags fill up much too fast. Wish there would be another way to pick-up more leaves without the constant emptying of the bags. Otherwise - excellent for my use.

Air France's Monkey Business
Air France, the last major European airline to ship non-human primates, transports tens of thousands of primates a year for cruel and invasive animal experimentation. Air France passenger and Air France-KLM cargo planes transport monkeys, often stolen from wild habitats in Vietnam and the Republic of Mauritius. Although United Airlines and China Eastern Airlines stopped transporting primates in early 2013, Air France, Philippine Airlines and China Southern continue to transport them.
LCA Undercover Footage Reveals Gruesome Slaughter of Pigs in Illegal Tampa, FL Backyard Farms
In an undercover investigation, LCA's Special Investigations Unit (LCA SIU) obtained disturbing footage of pigs being slaughtered in the Tampa, Florida area. These backyard butchers were clearly violating the Humane Slaughter Act, the Florida State Humane Slaughter Act and the Federal Meat Inspection Act.
On July 1, 2012, California's Foie Gras ban went into effect. Section 25981 of the California law S.B. 1520, enacted in 2004 by then CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, states, "A product may not be sold in California if it is the result of force feeding a bird for the purpose of enlarging the bird's liver beyond normal size." The ban gave producers eight years to come up with a more humane method of production, which they were not able to do.
LCA discovered shipments of foie gras from retailers outside of California that are being made through giant on-line retailer Amazon.com and is communicating with Amazon.com to stop the shipments.

Natalie Reis's 'NAV·I·GA·TION' Series Of Anti-Neo-Cromantic Seascapes
Canadian artist Natalie Reis describes her 'NAV·I·GA·TION' series of paintings and prints as 'anti – neocromantic seascapes'. I'm not quite sure what she means by that – does it mean that her seascapes are minimal in colour? Follow a specific set of rules? Are a conscious effort to negate colour, turn against it? I don't know. What I do know is that I'd love to see an exhibition of her work - it's clash of geometry and chaos, the tension between colour and form – the wonderful energetic marks that are made on the canvas.
I've included some of her old paintings to give you more of an idea of how her new work (images at the top) is different from her old.

A team of four female students from Qatar University represented the country in the finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup in Sydney, Australia recently.
The team – Technology Lanterns – was one of just three all-female teams in the international competition, which saw them pit their wits against 350 students from 74 other countries in a bid to secure first place. The Qatari team made it through to the second round of the finals, one of 20 teams to get that far.
The annual Imagine Cup, now in its 10th year, is the world's premier student technology competition, which encourages teams from across the globe to come up with answers to some of the toughest international problems.
Qatar's team, comprising College of Engineering students Fatma al Msaifri, Mariam al Ansari, Roqaya al Shaabi and Yasmin Halwani, supervised by faculty member Dr Osama Halabi, developed a product they named 3D-Kindio which helps blind people to move around more easily.
Inspired by the experiences of blind students at the university, and their difficulties in getting around the campus unaided, the four undergraduates wanted to develop a system which would allow blind people more freedom of movement and independence in their lives.

The name 3D-Kindio is a contraction of 3D sound, kinect and audio. The invention uses cameras from an Xbox Kinect, a battery, headphones and a laptop installed with Kindio software. It capitalises on a blind person's hearing sense – their most acute – and uses tags to emit sounds which help the person determine the identity of an object, its position and its proximity. The pitch and frequency of the sounds change as a person moves around a space.
The user wears headphones built into a hat to enable them to hear the sounds, and a backpack to carry the laptop installed with the augmented reality software.
While still a prototype, the team hopes that in the future the project could be refined to make it more portable – replacing a laptop with a mobile phone and integrating control buttons into a jacket, to make it more userfriendly.
Describing the Qatar team's participation in the finals, Yasmin Halwani said: "It was a remarkable achievement for the Qatari team to make it to the top 20 teams in its maiden participation in the Imagine Cup. The competition was exciting and so many innovative projects were presented by outstanding teams from all around the world. What an unforgettable experience!" Dr Mazen Hasna, dean of the College of Engineering at Qatar University, congratulated the students on their success.
He said: "We are delighted that the team made it through to the world finals of this prestigious, international competition. Their invention has received huge acclaim and we are proud of their success. They have been excellent ambassadors for Qatar, QU and the College of Engineering."
