Dr. Israr started with a brief overview of how Islam came to South Asia. Initially, the Islamic Fiqh and Tassawuf came here and all the focus was on these two. Scholars used to be identified with their association to one of the Schools of Fiqh and one of the Sufi silsilas. Name of scholars used to denote their Fiqhi and Sufi associations like Hanafi Qadari or Hanafi Chisti. Shiaism later came to South Asia during the time of Sher Shah Suri when Humayoon took refuge in Iran and came back with Irani support to take back the empire. Later on scholars made efforts to bring Muslims closer to Hadith and Quran also, rather than just focusing on Fiqh and Tassawuf.
Dr. Israr mentioned that there are two major hurdles in revival of Islam today: sectarianism and a cerain form of sufism. He didn't consider the sufi practices to be un-Islamic but he rather believed them to be appropriate for their time and not essential part of Islam as they were not taught by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the past, Shariah was implemented and rulers were Muslims so all the emphasis was on ibadaat and tazkiya-e-nafs. This is the context where sufi practices like Chila and Maraqba made sense. But in the current context the focus should be on establishment of ideal islamic state which is the important religious duty of Muslims. To counter sectarianism, Dr. Israr proposed that Muslims should be directly exposed to the message of Quran. This will reduce the sectarian tensions within the society as Muslims will be able to realize what is primary and what is of secondary importance in religion. In the Arab world, the sectarian conflicts doesn't have the same intensity because they are able to directly read and understand Quran.
Sallook-e-Muhammadi (Tariqah-i-Muhhamdiyah), founded by Syed Ahmed Barelvi was closer to the teaching of Muhammad (pbuh) in its understanding of Tasawuf and according to Dr. Israr, it would be better if we use the term Ehsan for it which is from Quran and Hadith.

Its founder, Ricardo Fisas Mulleras, decided to dive into this thrilling business adventure after seeing how hydrolyzed elastin and collagen proteins considerably improved skin's texture. "Ricardo Fisas established his company on the foundational pillars of professionalism, effort, commitment, the ability to overcome and social responsibility". During the 1980s, the company gained entry to the Spanish market's beauty establishments. Professional aestheticians demanded cosmetics with high concentrations of active ingredients that offered their clients the best guarantees of success. Natura Bissé was able to deliver, thanks to the constant research and innovation that have marked the company since its inception. By the end of the '80s, the company had a total of 150 facial and body products.

Study Finds Rise in Early News Consumption
It probably won't come as any surprise to local news directors, but a new Ball State study found that viewers are increasingly tuning into early news.
But the researchers go further, suggesting that the change could signal "the end to the dominance of early evening newscasts."
A study of 101 people found that more watched news from 6 to 10 a.m. than at any other time of the day.
"These findings suggest a major shift from just a few decades ago when the evening news programs drew the majority of viewers," said study co-author Robert Papper.
Although the number of morning and evening newscast viewers was about the same, morning viewers watched for longer periods of time.
"I think early morning news is more popular because people have more time to watch it," said Papper in releasing the study. "They get up, flip on the television and get ready for work. Because Americans are working and commuting more than ever, they are getting home later. They may not be home for the early news because of work or family obligations."
He said local TV news directors may want to shift their local news later, say from 5 or 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., to catch the later commuters.
The study was conducted in July and August 2003 in Muncie and Delaware County, Ind., dubbed Middletown after sociological studies in the 1920s and '30s that concluded it was the typical American town."

Radar Applications Essay, Research Paper
Radar applications by frequency:
HF (3 to 30 MHz)
The very first British radar system chain home used the HF band, but it was soon realised that these frequencies were becoming too crowded with other users and they suffered from too much external noise for serious use.
The HF band is still good for long-range over-the-horizon radar . (See examples of radar systems )
VHF (300 to 1,000 MHz)
Used for Military airborne early warning (AEW) radars. UHF is good for aircraft and missile detection in the midst of clutter. The large high-powered antennas are also widely available for these applications.
L band (1,000 to 2,000 MHz)
Preferred for long-range air surveillance radar work (200 nautical miles), such as in air traffic control systems that have to track aircraft between airports. The military also has a fondness for L band in space surveillance and missile detection because this band is not very susceptible to nuclear blackout effects as lower frequencies.
S band (2 to 4 GHz)
S band is a very middle of the road band, because lower frequencies are good for long range work and greater frequencies are best suited for getting accurate target information. Used for medium-range airport surveillance work (50 to 60 nautical miles) and long range weather radars. Military 3D radars that determine elevation angle, azimuth angle and range of targets use the S band (sometimes maybe L band).
C band (4 to 8 GHz)
Used for long range precision tracking. Most single frequency phased-array radar that do surveillance and weapon control for air defence use C band. (The S band above can also be used).
X band (12 to 40 GHz)
Used in shipboard civil marine tracking radar, airborne weather avoidance radar, police speed meters and systems that detect artillery projectiles. Most synthetic aperture radars (SAR) use X band.
K band (12 to 40 GHz)
Usually only used for short-range work because large and powerful enough antennas are hand to come by for this frequency. The K band has been used for airborne radar and short-range airport surface detection (ASDE).
Millimetre waves (40 to 300 GHz)
Millimetre wavelengths have been relatively underused in radar application because of their high sensitivity to the atmosphere. Since outer-space has no atmosphere, millimetre wave radar has been considered for space missions.
Laser radar
Laser radars that operate at infrared and optical frequencies also suffer from high sensitivity to the atmosphere and the waves tend to react in all manner of odd ways especially in bad weather. Although they have been tested for distance measuring in surveying and for precision range finding in weapon control, their main advantage would be probing the nature of our Earth s atmosphere from a spacecraft (maybe even other planets).

How can I find out about being a dietitian and being a nutritionist?
See the following websites to find out further information regarding the role of a dietitian:
See the following websites to find out further information regarding the role of a nutritionist:
A guide providing comprehensive information regarding different nutritional professions can be accessed via the following link:
What are the entry qualifications?
You will be required to have:
- a 2:1 or above BSc (Hons) science degree
Suitable science degrees include:
- biomedical science
- human nutrition
- nutritional science
- biochemistry
- physiology
- human biology
- pharmacology
A substantive component of biochemistry and human physiology is required, including cell biology concerning cell structure and intracellular activities; concepts of cell theory, an understanding of the fundamentals in biological chemistry is required for the study of biosciences at a higher level; key biochemical molecules and their role in celluar activities; physiological processes concentrating on the organ and systems level.
- studied nutritional science at Level 5
Before you start the course you should have studied nutritional science at Level 5. This should include the basis of nutritional science including macro and micro nutrients and their role in the diet; the nutritional composition of foods and their links between diet and disease. Prospective applicants without this are advised to take an additional 15-credit learning module at Level 5 in nutritional science to meet this requirement. The University offers an online course on the Fundamentals of Human Nutrition (short course) commencing in June.
- A Level Chemistry and Biology at grade C or equivalent
- GCSE Mathematics and English at grade C/4 or equivalent
- passed an interview where you will need to demonstrate an interest in and knowledge of health, dietetics and nutrition
- recent (within the last two years) work experience with vulnerable groups (paid or voluntary) for a minimum of five days full-time work
- attended a dietetic career event. You will be required to complete these two experiences before the end of July for entry in September.
How many students are accepted onto the course?
Although the course is no longer funded by the Government, Health Education England commission our dietetic placements which limits the number of students we can accept on to the course.
How many students normally apply for the Dietetics and Nutrition MSc?
We receive about 200-300 applications per year.
What should I do if I do not meet the entry requirements?
If you don't meet the requirements fully and wish to discuss this further, you can attend an open day. Details of upcoming open days can be found here:
See details of upcoming undergraduate open days
I have already started a dietetics course or another course at a different university, can I transfer onto the dietetics course at London Met?
We do not normally accept direct transfers as the numbers of places are tightly regulated. If you wish to change course you should contact the admissions department to apply as a new student.
Work experience
All successful applicants are required to have attended a dietetics career event or have had exposure to the dietetics profession through other means.
These are half-day events organised by London Metropolitan University. They are suitable for individuals in the process of applying or who have already applied for dietetics. They take place 3-4 times a year and provide prospective dietetics students the opportunity to gain insight into the work of a dietitian. They are designed to replace dietetic shadowing. You are therefore advised NOT to contact the individual dietetic departments to arrange dietetic shadowing.
If planning to do this abroad you may want to check that the country is appropriate as dietetic professions elsewhere may be considerably different to those in the UK.
Work experience with vulnerable adults
Minimum requirement
Prospective students will be required to have recent (within the last two years) work experience in a care environment (paid or voluntary) for a minimum of the equivalent of five days full-time work. This can be completed on a part-time basis at your convenience.
What we would like you to do
We would like you to gain experience of communicating with people who are in a vulnerable position such as those who have significant care needs. If possible, being involved in meal-time and daily care activities will give you important experience and help inform you of what to expect in this environment.
Suitable locations
Suitable settings include hospitals, elderly care homes and hospices. You should approach the voluntary services department if you wish to work in a hospital or hospice, and the manager if you wish to work in a care home. We also accept roles in other locations and organisations such as charity organisations like The Food Chain and Shelter.
Examples of suitable roles
An example of a suitable role would be at Homerton University Trust.
Below are links to suitable job descriptions.
Whittington Health also have similar roles and opportunities.
Suitable roles here would be dementia, meal-time support and ward volunteers.
Other hospitals and care environments will have similar arrangements. This is just an example of how to seek the type of experience that we look for.
Please be aware that it can take some time to find a placement as these institutions can be busy or might already have sufficient volunteers. You should be prepared for pre-employment checks such as health clearance or the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This can also take time. You are therefore advised not to leave your application until the last minute and to consider applying to more than one place.
You should ask your employer for a brief reference confirming that you have undertaken this work. It would be helpful to know the types of activities you have completed and the time frame.
Please note that if work experience is a condition on your course offer at London Met you should have sent evidence of attendance by the end of July to the admissions department for entry in September of that year.
How do I apply?
For the Dietetics and Nutrition MSc, applicants are required to complete an application form via the London Met course webpage.
Are there any key dates I should be aware of?
Key dates for MSc applicants are as follows:

- a conditional place on the course
- a conditional or unconditional place on the reserve list
- an alternative course if suitable
Can I study dietetics part-time?
The course is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council to run on a full-time basis only. Health Education England currently only commission a full-time course. This does not allow us to offer it on a part-time basis.
I am an international student, can I apply for the course?
Yes, we do accept applications from overseas students.
Do I have to pay course fees?
Health Education no longer provide funding for this course but you will be able to apply for a means-tested loan. More information can be found on the Government website.

Do I have to have a health check before I start the course?
No, you don't have to have the health check before starting the course. The University will arrange for you to have your health check once you have commenced the course in the first semester.
Mature students?
We welcome students of all ages as long as the course entry requirements have been met and the interview has been passed.
What is the structure of the course?
This varies depending on which year you are studying. It is a full-time course but there may not be face-to-face teaching every day. Further information about the modules and the days they are taught can be found in our module catalogue.
There is a mixture of long modules (30 weeks - 30 credits) and shorter modules (15 weeks - 15 credits). All modules are core modules and each has 3 hours of assigned teaching time.
How is it assessed, coursework or exams?
There are a variety of assessments:
- verbal/visual presentations
- essays and group project work
- practical reports
- problem solving exercises
- examinations
- in-class tests
- online formative assessments
Where are the practice-based learning placements?
There are three practice-based learning placements:
- 1 = 2 weeks
- 2 = 12 weeks
- 3 = 14 weeks
Students are usually placed north of the River Thames in London. Depending on capacity within this region some students may be placed outside of London.
Special consideration will be made for carers, as well as people with disabilities and special circumstances.
Is there much opportunity to do research-based work?
As this is a MSc course, a project module will be completed after the core teaching and practice-based learning has been completed, this will usually be during spring of the second year.
Are there opprtunities to attend dietetics conferences as part of the course?
Some students do attend conferences to present their projects eg BDA Research Symposium and BAPEN.
Is there a Dietetics/Nutrition society or group we can be part of?
Yes there is, the Dietetics/Nutrition society is organised by the students for the students.

What do you mean?
The 'New' Judaism and Messianic Judaism.
As the article illustrates, there are many groups today exploring what new directions Judaism could or should take. As Sadan states: 'Today there are tens of thousands who were born into Orthodox families leaving the fold (…) some going through the motions without desire or faith (..) some have become atheists.' Other secular Jewish people are exploring ways to reconnect with their backgrounds, a truly modern 'emergent' Judaism in various forms. These two streams are breaking open the old accepted ways and are seeking a renewing.
Given the compelling nature of this argument and the growing facts on the ground in Israel, we must not be surprised that it is at this time the Lord has re-established Messianic Judaism. Yes, a reformation of that ancient form of Judaism lived out in the first century, but also a form that is ready to be a living faith TODAY, not just a nod to the past. Our challenge is to form this Jewish faith in line with Yeshua's teachings, developing halacha drawn from His examples and apply it in a thoroughly Jewish way to our lives and communities. Messianic Jewish communities the world over are living alternatives to other forms of Judaism that are no longer connecting with so many of our people. We, Jewish people, no longer want form but substance, and that is a faith in G-d founded upon the salvation work He undertook in Yeshua. Truly redeemed both physically and spiritually we stand as a testimony to the G-d of Israel and the narrative of history completed. After our third catastrophe, the emergence of Messianic Judaism is no coincidence. It is a Jewish revival movement that connects us with both Land and with our G-d, the One who has been faithful through all time to us.
Blowing away the dust of history (part two)
Blowing away the dust of history (part one)
Some time ago a friend of mine was 'chewing the theological cud' with me about the vision and meaning of Messianic Judaism and made a comment that surprised me but caused me to think too. His comment (paraphrased) ran something like this: 'It was Luther who invented the 'saved by faith' doctrine, so why does Messianic Judaism (as a branch of Judaism considerably pre-dating Luther) insist on teaching something that only Protestantism or later Evangelicalism teaches?' His concern was real; to do so would be to undermine the actual foundations of Judaism and replace them with something else alien to the Torah and Judaism.
The question quite legitimately throws up some real issues about the core teaching and identity of Messianic Jews and Judaism. And the answer, although simple and obvious, leads us to ponder a much deeper Jewish issue of our own time.
Messianic Judaism is far from being the iconoclastic form of Judaism that it is often portrayed as being. It stands often accused of betraying core Jewish ideals and teachings, yet Messianic Judaism is at its heart a call to renewal and restoration in Judaism. The clue is in the 're-', for we are about taking core Jewish ideas and teachings afresh from the source document and texts that have forever framed Judaism (Torah) and applying them anew through the redemptive actions of G-d through Yeshua Mashichaynu (the Jewish Messiah). Our call as Messianic Jews is to re-establish the Jewish spiritual home and see a return to themes and ideas, concepts actually inherent in Judaism but covered up by the dust of history and lost in the diaspora theological development of the last 2000 years. The 'saved by faith' comment is one such concept that was not invented by Luther, nor yet even discovered by him, but if anything was 'rediscovered'. The first converts to 'Judaism' (I use the term in its wider popular usage), were Avraham and Sarah. They were not born Jewish yet were counted as belonging to G-d not by dint of birth, nor by the high level of their observance (Torah was yet over 400 years away), but because of their faith. As the Torah says (in an uncomfortable truth kind of way), the righteousness of G-d was counted or reckoned to Avraham because of his faith alone. No person can stand before G-d and survive unless our righteousness matches His, and the way to achieve this is laid out in the Torah for this to happen: by faith alone. Luther at best rediscovered this ancient truth and recognised the reality of it for himself and for a deeper return to a true walk with G-d. But it had been there all the time. And it was Jewish.
But it got me wondering about the deeper issue of our own time: what else is there that our people simply are not seeing because of the dust of history. Leaving aside the obvious for one moment, the identity of Messiah, there surely must be more in the Judaism/ Torah archaeological dig that will be unearthed. And it reminded me of an encounter that Yeshua had with a man called Nicodemus, a Jewish 'ruler' (possibly a Sanhedrin member?) of the first century. He came to Yeshua at night to conceal his embarrassment of having any association with Him, and is told that no person can see the Kingdom of G-d unless he or she is born again. Nicodemus' reply as to 'how can this be?' drew a gentle (but humbling) rebuke from Yeshua: 'you are a leading teacher in Israel and do not know these things?'. Indeed, there DOES appear to be more, much more that even the best of our Sages and rabbis have missed. And Yeshua names it in one: salvation, being born again. He effectively says this idea, the redemption, salvation motif is the central core idea in Judaism. Not for nothing was this concept the central stage event of Jewish history in the Exodus, even granting the Lord His epithet 'the Lord your G-d who brought you out of Egypt'. But this salvation and redemptive act was not meant to be just physical but spiritual too. Just as Pharaoh had oppressed us, so too does sin and in some ways this has proven to be a much harder taskmaster than Pharaoh. In essence Yeshua says that Judaism and the Jewish people who live it out have at the core the message of deliverance and freedom from sin through atonement. It is our raison d'etre. Jews, Israel exists to shine a light of deliverance, salvation and redemption to a dark world. So that ALL who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
G-d with human names
The Temple Mount is Jewish
There is much in the world right now that might lead one to conclude that it has collectively lost its senses. Be that as it may, this was only heightened by the recent decision by UNESCO to ratify a resolution generated by certain members of the UN that disavowed any historical Jewish connection with the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. According to the authors of the resolution its stated aim of the text was "the safeguarding of the cultural heritage of Palestine and the distinctive character of East Jerusalem" (see link below). The absurdity of the description and the falsity of its basic premise was ably summarised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who said in a Facebook post that UNESCO had become a "theatre of the absurd" in taking "another delusional decision". He continued "To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the pyramids. By this absurd decision, UNESCO has lost what little legitimacy it had left."
There are, thankfully, few within the Jewish world who would support such historical revisionism as is now accepted by the UN. The reasons for the outcry are, however, more nuanced. In a world where materialism and consumerism rule the conceptual roost it is fashionable, and has been for some considerable time, to see the world of faith a something purely ethereal and singularly spiritual by nature. This presentation of the Jewish faith merely sees faith wrapped up in joy, ecstasy or an emotional response to loving G-d. It is not even that unusual to hear the old 'physical is bad, spirit is good' dichotomy, taught by the ancient Greek philosophers. While it is true that the spiritual world underpins the physical, ignoring the physical is quite simply unjewish and unbiblical. In Judaism our faith is precisely rooted in the physical, the historical, the real world. G-d didn't theoretically take us out of Egypt as a theological teaching tool, He actually DID take us out. Jewish faith is as much to do with dates and events as spirituality. We detect the Hand of G-d at work IN and THROUGH the physical real world around us. The reason why answered prayer is so powerful is because it shows that our G-d, while omnipotent, is not just so in theory: He can break through into this creational shell that is our temporary home. When He sent His salvation into human history He was born in a certain time in a certain place. Salvation has historicity.
To deny the physical reality of the spiritual is to follow through with the UNESCO resolution. Some may argue it makes no difference. It does. It is a crucial difference. Our G-d reigns not just on an ethereal plane but in reality in human lives, in time and place. Faith has a history, and it is important.
What the UN did with this resolution was not an action to side with an Islamist agenda regarding history. No, this was to take sides against the G-d of history who has left His fingerprints on the earth, in time. As such our response is not to become anti-Islamic but to recognise that we must work to become a stronger nation with all the historical ties to the Land legitimised in ways that only we can do as its inhabitants. A stronger national connection is the only answer to such historical revisionism. Ironically, by adopting this resolution, the UN has itself become an historic irrelevance, a footnote in man's attempts to fight the G-d of Israel.

Search Supreme Court Cases
U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Kaufman, 96 U.S. 567 (1877)
United States v. Kaufman
A brewer paid to the collector of internal revenue $100 for special tax on his business from May 1, 1873, to April 30, 1874, for which a special tax stamp was given him. At the close of the year, it was found that he had manufactured less than five hundred barrels, and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue allowed his claim for the excess paid by him. Upon proper application to the Treasury, payment of the amount so allowed was refused.
l. That the allowance made by the commissioner, unless it be impeached in some appropriate form by the United States, is conclusive.
2. That the Court of Claims has jurisdiction of a suit by the brewer against the United States to recover the amount, and that he is entitled to judgment therefor.
This was an action against the United States to recover the amount which the commissioner of internal revenue had certified to the Comptroller of the Treasury that the claimant was entitled to have refunded to him the value of returned special tax stamps, after deducting therefrom five percent, as provided by law.
The facts are stated in the opinion of the Court.
There was a judgment against the United States, who thereupon appealed.

It is hard not to see the parallels with the Clintons, and not only because Abedin has been a Hillaryland aide and intimate (and goes to pains to make her boss look angelic in the telling of her own betrayal). In both cases the couples live their lives on and for the public stage and no amount of personal betrayal can shake the couple loose or cause them to cease inflicting their melodrama on us.
In retelling their story in agonizing detail, it is clear that Weiner not only wants but also needs public redemption. A few pages after explaining he sent obscene texts to women he didn't know to derive the high of instant connection and feedback, he tells the reporter about the reaction to him in polling and among New Yorkers he encounters. Like the lab rat pounding the lever for another shot of heroin, Weiner cannot cease trolling the public for love. What is worse is his wife seems to be going along with it. The last sentence reads ominously: "Huma, he says, is starting to think he should run."
The thought that he might do something else with his life, contribute to society in a semi-private fashion is apparently inconceivable to these folk — as inconceivable as Hillary Clinton declaring, " Naw, I don't need to be president."
Abedin recalls her thinking during the scandal, "I. Don't. Understand." Readers may have the same reaction to their determination to live in the public eye. Their life, they complain, is too "constricted" — only time for each other, their baby and friends. Many Americans would say that is called "normal," but these people are anything but.
Should we cease being shocked that narcissists like Weiner and Mark Sanford can't get away from the public limelight? They'd metaphorically curl up and die if deprived of the attention that goes with "public service." But what is the excuse for the public's indulgence? Maybe it is ennobling to them to forgive these lowly figures. Perhaps they figure all pols are creeps and at least they know or think they know the extent of these guys' creepiness. Or then again perhaps, like "Real Housewives of New Jersey," the messed up pols make voters feel superior. In a world of disappointment and stress maybe it is a relief to watch the freak show inhabited by people way more screwed up than they are.
That said, there is no excuse to indulge with public office those who are quite simply amoral and unstable. We get the government we deserve — and are we ever.

More Research Reinforces Danger of Low Digital Skills
Reinforcing what our previous report Perception and Reality: Measuring Digital Skills in Europe found other reports are also showing that low digital skills are creating a barrier for people who could stand to benefit from using ICT.
Digital Skills Need to be Addressed in the Classroom
It is no surprise that computers are vital to daily life, and so it is also no surprise that digital skills are essential for everyone. Skills, like working collaboratively online, or being able to safely and effectively use a web browser and tools like email and search engines, might seem simple, but they can unlock many possibilities. These digital skills are also important in schools. Learning to read and write is a process of learning foundational skills that will be needed every day, for the rest of your life; digital skills are little different.

T'Leng was a Vulcan woman who lived during the late-23rd century.
In 2287, T'Leng was the high priestess of the Temple of Amorak. She was visited by Saavik who was looking to face consequences after accidentally killing Simar. T'Leng made it clear that Saavik was not the cause of Simar's death and that Saavik was free to stay or go as she wished. (TOS novel: Unspoken Truth)

The Ark is the eighth mission of Titanfall 2's single-player campaign. The IMS Draconis escaped from the IMC airfield with the Ark on board and headed straight for the Fold Weapon, so the 9th Militia Fleet - with support from Barker and the 6-4 - give aerial chase in the skies of Typhon. Jack Cooper and BT-7274 must survive harrassment by the Draconis's escorts and a showdown with the high-flying Apex Predator Viper in their daring effort to board the Draconis and recover the Ark.
Frontier MilitiaEdit
- Rifleman Jack Cooper
- Commander Sarah Briggs
- Captain Meas
- Blackbird Actual
- Robert "Barker" Taube
- The 6-4
Apex Predators Edit
Ship to Ship Edit
The mission starts with Jack Cooper and BT-7274 riding inside a Widow dropship, escorted by the MCS Carter Braxton, The 6-4, Blackbird Squadron and Sarah Briggs in her own Widow. As the fleet catches up on one of the escort ships, IMS Thermopylae, the squadron is ambushed by the Northstar Titan piloted by Viper. A rocket barrage knocks Jack out of his ship, and onto the back of a dropship piloted by Barker. BT also lands on the dropship, asking Jack to perform a "Fastball" - a maneuvre in which BT throws Jack a considerable distance.
Jack then lands on the Crow piloted by the 6-4, before using the gap to jump into the battleship IMS Malta. From here, Jack makes his way through the ship, fighting Grunts and Stalkers until he makes his way to a battery of Medium Turrets. However, he is too late to stop them from shooting down the MCS Carter Braxton.
How the 6-4 Does It Edit
After disabling the guns, The 6-4 then joins the Pilot on the ship, ready to take the bridge. However, one problem arises; there is no direct access between the gunnery bay and the hangar; the compensate, Sarah uses her Widow as a platform for the Pilots to wallrun on, allowing them to jump into the main hangar bay of the Malta.
After taking out a company of infantry, the group make their way to the bridge, breaching and efficiently cutting down its crew. With unrestricted access to the controls, Jack Cooper uses his Data Knife to deactivate the ship's complement of Heavy Turrets. With this completed, Barker can finally drop BT onto the ship, ready to fastball Cooper onto the transport ship IMS Draconis.
Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide Edit
Before this can be completed, however, the two are once again ambushed by Viper. During the fight, Viper will deploy two Scorch Titans to assist him. However, numerous batteries are situated on the hull of the ship, allowing for health regeneration.
After Viper's defeat, BT and Jack will once again attempt a throw onto the Draconis, but Viper, managing to regain control of his Titan, will fly directly into the duo, attemtping to throw them off the Malta. After a brief melee in the air, the three land on the hull of the Draconis. As Viper fires off a shot of his Plasma Railgun, BT lunges for him, putting the two in a desparate fight, with Viper's cockpit having been ripped off. The fight is finished after Jack shoots Viper, his Titan firing off a salvo of missiles in its death throes.
Evacuation Edit
Having defeated Viper, the two can now make their way into the ship itself. Unfortunately, the damage sustained in the fight is severe, BT having lost an arm and the Draconis itself going down. With only minutes before surface impact, the two run past the IMC Marines attempting to evacuate via lifeboat and straight into the room storing the Ark. BT places the Ark inside his cockpit, before shielding Jack from the impact.
The two are then captured by Kuben Blisk, and taken to a facility near the Fold Weapon for interrogation.
Viper Boss Battle Tips Edit
- When fighting Viper, make use of BT's ability to change Titan loadouts. Place down a Particle Wall, then change to Expedition for BT's hitscan XO16A2 Chaingun and auto-locking Multi-Target Missile System.
- Ion's Laser Shot is also a good weapon for this battle, as is the Salvo Core and Laser Core.
- Spitfire LMG (Starting weapon)
- D-2 Double Take (Starting weapon)
- Mastiff (Weapon racks on IMS Malta)
- Archer Heavy Rocket
- Volt (Weapon racks on IMC Malta)
- L-STAR (Acquired from Stalkers onboard IMS Malta)
Pilot HelmetsEdit
There are 3 Pilot Helmets to be collected on this level.

The shift in technology, business environment and demographics have changed the old ways of recruitment. The current job environment demands a customised resume for every job application. Each job is different, and it requires different skills, qualifications and needs. Using the same resume for each job opening is undesirable. It makes your chances of securing the job slim as the resume can seem generic.
A generic resume can hinder your chances of getting the job significantly. A generic resume does not focus on the appropriate keywords specific to the job. It tends to focus on unrelated or irrelevant skills, which can also leave the wrong impression. It cannot represent the candidate in the most ideal or desirable way. It will fail to grab the attention necessary to pass the recruitment and selection processes. It can direct the message to be conveyed through the resume in an undesirable path. Since every job is different, a generic resume will not accustom itself to the job requirements. It is vital to adapt to the employers and the business environment changing needs.
As previously stated, jobs differ in different organisations. For example, a finance professor looking to work as a financial consultant should make a resume that is different from the one he/she would use to apply for academic jobs.IIf the same resume was to be used, it would dismiss the purpose of applying for a job as a consultant. Similarly, if a recent BBA graduate were to apply for a marketing or finance job, he/she would have to customise their resumes.
A customised resume facilitates the communication of your skills to the employers in a method suiting their needs. An accurate, customised resume can justify your potential and suitability in the organisation. It defines why you can fit within the traditional organisational hierarchy. Customising adjusts the resumes depending on the role or the company. Customising resumes for each job doesn't necessarily mean you have to recreate the resume. Subtle changes can be made according to specific roles or jobs.
A customised resume for every job application increases your chances of securing an interview. It highlights your strengths and skills to suit the requirements of the job. Every employer requires different specifications from their potential candidates. As a candidate, it is vital to identify, examine, evaluate and adapt the given specifications in your resume. A customised resume can lead to alignment with the hiring needs of employers.
Most employers use a software program known as Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Recruiters and employers use this software in the recruitment process. It collects, scans, sorts and ranks the resumes received for employment purposes. It clears out resumes based on the necessities and qualifications for the job. To pass this preliminary digital screening, your professional resume needs to be tailor-made for the selected role or position. The Application Tracking System weeds out resumes which do not possess the keywords the employers are looking for in a candidate. Applicant Tracking Systems do not look for flowery language or bragging. It only identifies the keywords that you communicate through your resume. If a customised, ATS-friendly resume is used, it can lead to the procurement of the job you need. A personalised resume for each position can outsmart the ATS software and improve your chances.
In recent years,75 per cent of the job applications received is rejected before recruitment professionals review them. You might be the best candidate to take over the job. But not customising your resume for each position will significantly reduce your chances of being employed. Since a resume is the first document representing you in any organisation, it is vital to make present it in rather a desirable fashion. If what the employers are looking for are not present in your resume, you may be deemed as unfit for the job. Despite possessing the skills and qualifications, your resume might be rejected. Although it is time-consuming, customising your resume is mandatory to pass the filtering of the Application Tracking System (ATS)software. If you fail to make it past the preliminary stage, there are no chances of securing the job.
Once your resume passes through the ATS software and is reviewed by a professional, it needs to project your skills and qualifications in six seconds to convince the professional or recruiter that you are qualified for the job and capable further consideration, follow up or an interview
Customising your resume by aligning it to the job ads and description is necessary. Using a resume that outlines the needs of the job increases your chances of securing an interview. Using specific keywords straight from the job ad and description can assist in getting past the company's Applicant Tracking System (ATS) which is designed to eliminate candidates who don't meet the job needs and qualifications. Keywords tend to optimise your resumes significantly.
Keywords are crucial in identifying the appropriate words or phrases to convey the job duties and responsibilities in job descriptions effectively. Using these keywords in your resume is a reflection of the skills and requirements you possess to perform the job as per the employer's request.
Customising your resume for each job might seem time-consuming. However, to prove that your the best candidate to take over the role, customising your resume is essential. It is essential to tailor the professional summary and objective statement to suit the job description. Job descriptions specify what they are looking for, roles, duties, responsibilities, and what they require from their employees. Hence the professional summary should provide a brief on your career and detail your experience described in a way to project you as a strong candidate for the position.
HR professionals tend to review select resumes in just six seconds. A customised resume highlights the relevant information that can be examined in six seconds. Thus the need to customise resumes per job becomes mandatory. Recruiters examine resumes that find its way through the ATS software, and the decision to accept or reject your application happens in a matter of seconds. Since recruiters only glance at your resume, customisation becomes essential. Tailoring your skills to match the keywords in the job description will lead to the selection of your resume and thus making your chances of working in the organisation higher. For instance, the job description might require proficiency in MS Office. Stating proficiency in MS Office in your resume boosts your chances of not being weeded out by the ATS software. A customised resume will lead to compatibility with the Applicant Tracking System software. For instance, a graphic designer should have two to three slightly different versions of her resume that different project abilities for jobs.
Using the same resume for every job does not match the employer's needs. Each position has its specifications and needs. Identify the qualifications required and proceed to customise your resume to meet the employer's requirements. Analyse the job descriptions and modify your skills and accomplishments to suit the job opening. While looking for a job, showcasing your abilities and achievements in a way that satisfies the employer's business challenges is beneficial. Your resume needs to address the specifications of each recruitment manager. Let us suppose a recruiter is looking to hire a candidate for the position of an insurance sales manager. It is also essential to highlight your work experience in a way that is relevant to the new job. The recruiter will not be impressed while reading about your experience as an intern on a television show. Hence your skills pertinent to the job must be highlighted to grab the attention and impress the recruiter. It is essential to add the skills and qualifications you possess while remaining truthful.
One might possess the appropriate skills required for the job, but without the use of a customised resume, one cannot make it through the filtering process. Tailor your resume by inserting keywords and phrases from job posting, ads and description. If there is a particular duty, skill or responsibility listed in the job advertisement or description that resonates with you, include it as it can be beneficial. By customising your resume to each specific job, you can pose as the ideal candidate for the job. It increases your overall visibility.
Customised resumes highlight essential information that might not be listed on a traditional or generic resume. A customised resume gives a potential employer the ability to learn more about the prospective employee. It determines if they can legally work for the company and if they have the required educational skills and professional experience necessary to perform the job.
It is crucial to maintain a personal touch while still using keywords to customise your resume. Quality is required, not quantity. Customisation allows your resume to stand out in a highly competitive job market and increase your job prospects. It is vital to crafting your resume to suit personal and employer's needs.

Inspired by the Guitar Used to Create Some of the 20th Century's Most Iconic Riffs
View product photo galleries for images of in-stock instruments
The Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster is a tribute to Page's guitar in its factory White Blonde finish and to its later evolution into the "mirror guitar." Featuring a two-piece ash body, gloss lacquer finish, and Jimmy Page Custom '59 Tele single-coil pickups, the Mirror Telecaster pays homage to the guitar used to record the first Led Zeppelin album, among other classics. It also includes unique touches like a top-load or strings-through-body bridge with threaded steel saddles, a custom "Thin D"-shaped maple neck, and a 7.25"-radius slab rosewood fingerboard. Eight round mirrors are included to replicate Page's later customization of the guitar.
The Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster recreates the guitar's final appearance after Page stripped the original finish and hand-painted a design of colorful, serpentine curls. The ash body is finished in satin lacquer, while the "Thin D"-shaped maple neck wears a Road Worn lacquer finish. This model features Jimmy Page Custom Tele pickups as well as a pickguard made with custom refractive material under a clear top layer.

So much for the restraining myself thing I mentioned earlier.
I hope you all have a very fun holiday weekend! What fun things did you all do and discover this week?

Through the pit less depth of autumn's movement.
Ahead of me lays a moment waiting for me to intercept..
In the past, thunder breaks silence's echo against my soul's window pain..
I shudder to recall what tumultuous isolation led me to this other side which I disdain..
In a world of rippling dreams.. we give and take nothing which is of any good it seems..
Insightful minds wander together through cosmic magic…
Yet egos trough leaves us torn apart… in the end it is all just tragic…
How must I escape from this grip… gripping me so lightly yet my body cannot even
Move Slightly…
Amidst my minds constant circling..
Alas meditation brings such long awaited tranquility..
But in the end.. this physical body surrenders again to its dimensional futility..
It is all about the matter which keeps us within…
Screaming to get out of this tight fitting skin.
The spirits which roam must laugh at us.. really..
Because they glide along so unmasked… so smooth and do so "free"ly.

AHCCCS, or the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (pronounced "access"), is the name for the Arizona Medicaid Program. The program began in 1982 and works with over 70,000 different medical providers in the state of Arizona, providing services for almost two million beneficiaries. The Access Arizona vision is "to shape tomorrow's managed care...from today's experience, quality and innovation." Use this guide to help determine your AHCCCS eligibility status, download the AHCCCS application, and more!
If you hear a doctor or anyone refer to "Access Arizona," they are most likely referring to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. Access Arizona plans work similarly to a marketplace HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plan. You'll have to select one primary physician who accepts your plan to be the first doctor you go to for all your health care needs. That one doctor will be the person who authorizes all your medical services and can refer you to specialists for treatment.
AHCCCS provides coverage for adults, caretaker relatives, children, seniors, the blind and disabled, nursing home residents, pregnant women, and other disabled persons who need financial assistance. Covered services include (but are not limited to):
The Arizona Medicaid program has one of strongest mental health benefits of any state health insurance program. Access Arizona plans cover adult day care programs, crisis services, rehabilitation, counseling, testing, and more.
The Arizona Long Term Care program, ALTCS, contracts with doctors, nursing homes, hospitals, specialists, and pharmacies to help Access Arizona beneficiaries who require long-term care services. Benefits are typically decided on a case-by-case basis and can include nursing facilities, hospice, attendants and private nurses, adult day care, therapy, home-delivered meals, and even dental services.
To find a doctor, hospital, dentist, or other specialist in your area, use the AHCCCS official provider search tool. Enter your zip code and select the type of provider you are looking for.
Dental, vision, and hearing are three benefits that most people don't normally find within their medical plan. AHCCCS plans provide dental, vision, and hearing only for members under the age of 21 with the exception of emergencies.
AHCCCS emergency dental coverage is available to adults as of 2018. Members over the age of 21 can be covered for up to $1,000 per year in emergency dental care and extractions. Examples of this include emergency crowns due to pain, root canals, etc. - anything that is classified as a medically necessary emergency.
Though most members will face a small copayment, AHCCCS members do have coverage for prescription drugs. If you have Arizona Medicaid but also have drug coverage through Medicare, Medicare will cover your prescriptions first. The AHCCCS formulary (drug list) can tell you what prescription drugs are covered.
AHCCCS eligibility is different based on your age, income, and required services. On the most basic level, you must be an American citizen (or legal immigrant), an Arizona resident, and financially needy. Use the chart below to help figure out if you are eligible for Arizona Medicaid.
Note that if you or your child is under the age of 19 but does not meet the AHCCCS eligibility requirements, kids can still qualify for Arizona KidsCare at 200% of the federal poverty level. KidsCare comes with a premium of anywhere from $10-$70. Reach out to your local Family Assistance Office or call 1-855-HEA-PLUS for more information on KidsCare. The Arizona Medicaid phone number is 602-417-4000.
These numbers are from 2018 and correspond with the Federal Poverty Level. The limits are subject to change every year.
There are a few different ways that you can complete your AHCCCS application: it's easy! If you think you may need help completing your application, you can apply by visiting a DES (Arizona Department of Economic Security) office near you or calling Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, 1-855-432-7587.
If you feel comfortable completing the AHCCCS application by yourself, visit Health-e-Arizona PLUS to complete your application online.
If you prefer, click here to download the Arizona Medicaid Application. You can keep pages A-G for yourself. Send pages 1 through 6 to the MA-SP office (801 East Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ 85034).
There are more than ten health plans that you can choose from (less for long-term care plans). All Access Arizona health plans include the same covered services, but they do not all have the same network. That means that not every doctor, hospital, or pharmacy will accept every AHCCCS plan. It may be a good idea to check with your favorite doctors before you select your plan to make sure you do not have to switch doctors.
Not all plans will be available in your area. Click here for the full list of AHCCCS plans that you can choose from. You can filter by county or city to only see the options available to you.
Though you can certainly save a lot of money with a AHCCCS plans, they aren't entirely free. Some people will have copays for services (depending on your income level). Typically, adults with income over 106% of the Federal Poverty Level (which changes every year) will face copayments. You will not be charged a copay for family planning and pregnancy care, emergency services, or preventative services. Additionally, those under the age of 19, diagnosed with a serious mental illness, enrolled in long-term care, nursing home or hospice residents, and those in the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program will not face copayments.
Access Arizona members with copays will incur the following costs:
However, there is a cap on copays. You will not be asked to pay more than 5% of your quarterly income on medical copays.
Need help looking for Arizona Medicaid plans and other health insurance? There are a handful of good Arizona health plan finder tools that you can use. If you're looking for Medicare plans, you can head straight to Medicare.gov. If you're looking for general insurance plans, you can go to healthcare.gov.

Welcome to the Ireland Photography Guide.
A photography guide to the very best photographic locations that Northern & Southern Ireland has to offer.
Each week a brand new location will be published showing you where to go, compositions, example images and the best times of the day & year to visit.
The very first Ireland photography location guides I'm writing are for the Causeway Coast everywhere from Binevenagh Mountain, to Garron Point and everywhere else in between.
Obviously due to family commitments, leading workshops, photo tours & one to one's, this is going to take me time to populate the content for locations.
At the moment I have 25 different photography locations guides to write for along the Causeway Coast.
If you're interested in a guide to see a particular location or if you'd like to guest write for a particular location in Ireland, then please feel free to reach out to me via the contact page.

What happens when you see an Osteopath?
First a full case history is taken, which includes any medical history and any injuries you may have had. Next you will be examined to see what and where the problem is. The osteopath may ask you to remove your outer clothing in order to see how movement occurs in the area. You may be asked to perform some movements. The osteopath will palpate (feel) the tissues (muscles, tendons, joints) involved. They will then explain their findings. Then they will give you some treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
I aim to get you well quickly and back on your feet as soon as possible.
The number of treatments varies according to the length of time the problem has been there and the severity. Also patients respond differently to treatment.
As a rough guide, most patient's conditions have improved in about 6 treatments (for children this may be less)
If you do not improve as expected, then further investigation such as X-ray or MRI (usually via your GP or privately) may be considered.
What is the difference between Osteopathy and Chiropractic?
Mainly the philosophy is different. Chiropractors believe all problems arise from dysfunction of the nerve supply. So they concentrate on manipulating the spine, which is the origin of the nerves. Osteopaths believe form governs function, so will look at nerve supply and blood supply. They will asses where the problem arises and work directly with that area.
What is the difference between Osteopathy and Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists work with conditions. They have a given protocol for treatment of each condition. Physiotherapists are usually less hands on than Osteopaths. Osteopaths work with the body. A given set of symptoms may have different treatments for different people, as they problem may have arisen from different circumstances.
What is the difference between Osteopathy and Cranio Sacral Therapy?
Only osteopaths have the comprehensive education to fully diagnose and treat patients and to practice Cranial Osteopathy. Some body workers, including massage therapists and physical therapists, have learned a simplified therapy called craniosacral therapy, which is different from Cranial Osteopathy.
Cranial Osteopathy was originated by osteopath/physician William Sutherland, DO . Studying the joins of the disarticulated skull he noticed that the edges of the individual cranial bones are shaped as if they were designed for movement. Physician John Upledger studied Sutherland's theory of cranial bone movement.
He developed his own treatment style, and when he started to teach his work to a group of students who were not osteopaths he generated the term 'CranioSacral therapy', based on the corresponding movement between cranium and sacrum.
Will you "crack" my back?
Manipulation (clicking) is a very safe and effective form of treatment. Osteopaths take a thorough case history during consultation to look for potential problems that would contraindicate manipulation. Some patients don't like to be manipulated and this is OK. Osteopaths have many techniques they can use to improve quality of movement of joints.

Measuring a roomy 1,500 square feet, this bright, airy cottage features a master bedroom and second bedroom, both with king-sized beds. Hardwood floors, a full kitchen complete with cherrywood cabinets and a spacious dining room make this an ideal spot for entertaining. You'll also love the luxurious down bedding, 32-inch LCD flat screen high-definition TVs and a gas fireplace.

Support and protect wild bears in Cambodia($15/day)
Since 1995 we have provided support to a wide range of projects across the globe; from the rehabilitation of orphaned bear cubs in the Russian Far East to surveying wild Spectacled bears in Ecuador.
As the organization has grown we have focused more intensely on the Sun bears and Asiatic black bears of South-east Asia and the Sloth bears of India. By creating partnerships that are tailored to each individual country and situation we have been able to support a wide range of projects in our six priority countries; Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
Despite these countries being geographically close to one another, the threats to bears vary widely and as such our responses encompass a wide range of strategies including environmental awareness, sustainable livelihoods, increased enforcement and research and protection of wild bear populations. Our support ranges from direct intervention on-the-ground to providing much-needed funds to local organisations carrying out bear conservation work in line with our goals.
Main focused programs:
-Bear cub rescue: One of our biggest challenges is rehabilitating rescued bears and providing care for their entire lives, which can be up to 30 years.
-Protecting wild bears: The first step is improve the protection of bears in the wild and develop a realistic long-term strategy for the rescue and rehabilitation of confiscated bears. This will enable us to monitor wild bear populations and identify areas that could one day support the release of bears back to the wild.
-Education and awareness: Our teams aim to improve attitudes towards bears and encourage sustainable practices to protect them in their natural habitats. We work locally to raise awareness of environmental issues affecting bears through education initiatives and events and provide tailor-made schedules packed with engaging and interactive lessons, games and activities centred on wildlife, the environment as well as the basics of conservation and sustainability.
-Stop the suffering: As long as there are bears in need, we will continue to work to stop the suffering of bears worldwide. As well as bear rescue and rehabilitation of bears for their entire lives.
