Emirates will deploy a Boeing 777-300 aircraft to Warsaw from 1 January 2014.
The upgrade will come less than one year after the route's launch. Since the launch in February of this year, more than 58,000 passengers have travelled with Emirates on the Dubai-Warsaw route.
"Our Warsaw service has developed quickly and with demand continuing to increase, we feel the right time has come for Emirates to expand its capacity," said Hubert Frach, Emirates' Divisional Senior Vice President Commercial Operations West. "With the introduction of the larger aircraft, we will offer more than 5,000 seats every week on the route to key destinations like Dubai, Bangkok, Delhi, Colombo, Kuala Lumpur, and Australian network," added Mr Frach.
Emirates started its daily, non-stop flights to Warsaw from Dubai on 6 February 2013 with an Airbus A330-200. To meet growing demand on the route, the airline will upgrade the aircraft to a Boeing 777-300, with 12 luxurious seats in First Class, 42 deeply reclining seats in Business Class and 310 generously-sized Economy Class seats, increasing passenger capacity by almost 54 percent.
All classes of the new aircraft are equipped with Emirates' award-winning ice entertainment system with more than 600 channels on-demand entertainment to choose from, including movies, television programmes, games, audio books and music from across the world.
Passengers flying First Class with Emirates can enjoy a very generous baggage allowance of 50kg, in Business Class, 40kg and in Economy Class, a sizable 30 kg. The airline's chauffeur-drive service is available to both First Class and Business Class passengers.
In addition to carrying more passengers, the operation of the new aircraft will continue the positive momentum for Poland's import and export industry. Emirates SkyCargo, utilizing the Boeing 777-300 will have a daily belly-hold capacity of up to 20 tonnes in each direction, which means businesses will benefit from the additional 56 tonnes of weekly capacity on the route. Key exports from Poland include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and electronic products; while some of the main imports are machinery, sporting goods, medical equipment, electrical equipment and leather products.
Emirates' flight EK 179 takes off daily from Dubai at 0725hrs and lands in Warsaw at 1130hrs. The return flight EK180 departs Warsaw at 1445hrs arriving in Dubai at 2215hrs the same day.
The Boeing 777 passenger aircraft is the backbone of the Emirates fleet, with 119 in service and a further 63 on order. Emirates operates to 134 destinations in 77 countries.

Looks – Subtle Tropical Eye with Lavender, Spring Green, and Teal
I'm trying REALLY hard to be creative with makeup, like I'm trying to go outside of my usual box (which is challenging in itself because I honestly like my box quite a lot!) at least a step or two (baby steps!). Anyway, upper lash liner again, though after seeing pics, it should extend a few millimeters more, but oh well.
I used Rollickin' paint pot on lid, Parfait Amour eyeshadow all over lid, Juxt eyeshadow above inner crease/inner lid, Silver Ring eyeshadow on outer crease, Cinders eyeshadow on outer lid, A Bluer Blue eyeshadow above outer crease, Overgrown eyeshadow above inner and middle crease, White Tie eyeshadow on brow to highlight, Royal Wink fluidline on upper lash line with Parfait Amour eyeshadow patted over it, Overgrown eyeshadow on lower lash line, Blacktrack fluidline on lower lash line, and Plushblack plushlash mascara. I wore Don't Be Shy blush with Lightly Lilac beauty powder on cheeks. I had Utter Pervette lipstick with Cult Fave lipglass with a touch of Totally It! lipglass on my lips.

Hymnology of the Mennonites in the Netherlands
Anabaptists and Mennonites even in the earliest period sang hymns in their meetings when it was possible to do so. Mostly it was impossible to sing together, because in the period of persecution singing would attract the attention of the government officers, who eagerly tracked down the Anabaptists, and there are a few cases of meetings being surprised by the officers because the singing had betrayed them. But among the earliest Anabaptists many songs (liedekens) were known. Anneken Jans was arrested in January 1539 at Rotterdam because a "heretical song" that she had sung in the ferryboat had betrayed her. In prison the martyrs often took up a hymn to comfort themselves and each other, and of a number of martyrs it is mentioned that they were singing a hymn while going to the execution places.
As to what kind of hymns they sang no definite answer can be given. Only in two or three cases do we have information. Reytse Aysesz, executed at Leeuwarden in 1574, on the way to his execution began the hymn, "Ic roep U, o Hemelsche Vader aen, Wilt myn geloove stercken" (I call to Thee, heavenly Father, wilt Thou strengthen my faith) (Martyrs Mirror [Dutch ed., 690, English ed., 1005]). Another martyr sang, "Ic arm scaep aen groener heyde" (I poor sheep on the green heath), which is a well-known medieval song.
Soon there were in circulation a number of hymns composed by the martyrs themselves in prison (as is mentioned of many of them), or composed by others, all unknown poets, to celebrate their martyrdom. These hymns, rhymed versions of their trials and accounts of their sufferings and death, must have been clandestinely printed on separate sheets and circulated shortly after the death of a martyr, as is evident in the case of the "liedeken" on Anneken Jans, which was sung on the streets of Hamburg only a few weeks after her death (1539).
In the second half of the 16th century these single hymns were collected and compiled in songbooks. In 1562-1563 a collection of hymns by and about martyrs was published, together with the oldest Dutch martyrbook, Het Offer des Heeren. The name of the collection of hymns was Lietboecxken van den Offer des Heeren. This Lietboecxken was reprinted together with the Offer at least 10 times (last edition in 1599). Besides these historical hymns another type of hymns, called Schriftuurlijke Liedekens (Scriptural hymns), or Geestelijke Liedekens (Spiritual hymns) were used among the Mennonites, and soon pushed aside the martyr songs. As early as 1560 the first hymnary of this type was published by Nicolaes Biestkens. It is entitled Veelderhande Liedekens. This first edition has been lost, as was also a second edition of 1562; of the following editions of 1566, an undated edition, one of 1569, one of 1579, and one of 1580, copies are still extant. Of a second collection, printed in 1562 by Biestkens and entitled Een Nieu Liedenboeck, there is only one copy extant found in the Amsterdam Mennonite Library. This Nieu Liedenboeck was reprinted at Amsterdam in 1582 by Biestkens under the title Het Tweede Liedenboeck (the second hymnary). Van Braght (Mart. Mir. [Dutch ed., 665, English ed., 683]) mentions a Rotterdamsch Liedboeck. What kind of hymnary this was is unknown, since no copy of it has been found. These hymnbooks may all have been used in Mennonite congregations. They are all without notes and could be sung according to the melody which is announced at the top of each hymn. In most cases two melodies are given. These melodies are of well-known songs, both secular and spiritual, sometimes of a psalm used in the Reformed Church.
The Dutch Mennonites of the 16th century did not sing psalms as the Calvinists did. Reytse Aysesz about 1570 was accused by a Reformed preacher that whereas they (the Reformed) sang the Biblical Psalms of David, the Mennonites used songs made by man, but Reytse was comforted by the thought that their (Mennonite) hymns were made according to the Scriptures (Mart. Mir. [Dutch ed., 686, English ed., 1001]).
Among the authors of these Schriftuurlycke Liedekens are Menno Simons, Dirk Philips, Boost Eeeuwouts, Jacques Outerman, Hans de Ries, Claes Ganglofs, Leenaert Clock, Jan Jacobsz, and Pieter Jansz Twisck, as well as a large number of anonymous poets.
In the early 17th century the Veelderhande Liedekens and other old songbooks were largely replaced. New hymnaries were composed and put into use. It is impossible to enumerate all of them, since more than 100 different hymnaries were published between 1582 and 1790. Some of the most important were Hans de Ries, Lietboeck of 1582 (many reprints under varying titles); Carel van Mander, De Gulden Harpe (1599); Leenaert Clock, Het Groote Liede-boeck (1625); Het Gheestelyck Kruydt-Hofken (1637); Het Rijper Liedtboecxken (1637); 't Kleyn Hoorns-Lietboeck (1644-45); 't Groot Hoorns Liedtboeck (1647); Claes Stapel, Lusthof der Zielen (about 1680, 2nd ed. 1682, 3rd ed. 1729); Lusthof des Gemoeds (1732); De Geestelijke Goudschaale, 1st ed. in 1662 at Franeker, 2nd ed. 1683 at Leeuwarden, 4th ed. 1751. These songbooks were used in the different branches of the Dutch Mennonites. For example, the Waterlanders used de Ries's hymnal, the Old Flemish van Mander's Gulden Harpe, and the Groningen Old Flemish Lusthof des Gemoeds. Many of these hymnaries did not contain original hymns, but largely borrowed from each other. With the exception of van Mander's hymnbook the poetical quality of these hymns is rather mediocre or less. As is said in the preface of many of these hymnaries they were intended not only for congregational singing, but also for private use, or to be read "for the edification of souls."
As mentioned above, the early Anabaptists and Mennonites did not sing Psalms, but this changed in the 17th century. Quite early, Hans de Ries, a champion of Psalm-singing, had inserted in the 1624 edition of his hymnary all 150 rhymed Psalms after the version of Dathenus, and from then on singing of Psalms became more and more usual. In the Flemish congregation of Amsterdam about 1630 a fine had to be paid every time the preacher allowed any other hymn to be sung but a Psalm (DB 1865, 69). But the clumsy version of Dathenus did not satisfy; so the Lam and Toren congregation of Amsterdam introduced in 1684 a new Psalmbook, rhymed by the Mennonites J. Oudaen, D. R. Camphuyzen, Galenus Abrahamsz, and others. In 1713 the Haarlem congregation replaced Dathenus' version by a psalter rhymed by Vondel, Hooft, Westerbaen, Rooleeuw, and other poets in 1713. Some other congregations introduced either the Amsterdam or the Haarlem Psalter. The Amsterdam Zonist congregration used the Dathenus version until 1762, when it was replaced by a Psalmbook rhymed by the literary association "Laus Deo Salus Populo." This version too was used in a number of Dutch Mennonite congregations. In most cases some other hymnbook was used in addition to the psalter. From the end of the 18th century the singing of Psalms decreased in favor of hymns.
Since the old hymnbooks were no longer available, or were little appreciated, they went out of use, except in a few congregations like Ameland, where De Geestelijke Goudschaale was in use until 1818 (DB 1890, 7) and in Aalsmeer, Giethoorn, and Balk, which used the Kleyn Hoorns Lietboeck--reprinted as late as 1814--until the 19th century, Balk until 1854 (DB 1892, 56, 65 f.) and Aalsmeer even until 1862 (DB 1862, 147). The congregation at Grouw used the hymnal by Stapel until about 1800. A number of new hymnaries appeared, all bearing the traits of that rationalistic time. The congregation of Rotterdam introduced a new hymnary in 1776; the Amsterdam Lamist congregation compiled the Kleine bundel in 1791, the Amsterdam Zonist congregation the Groote bundel in 1796. Hamburg-Altona, then still using hymnaries in the Dutch language, composed the Altonasche Liederen in 1802. Haarlem introduced a new hymnary in 1804, Zwolle one in 1808. All these hymnaries were not only in use in the congregations which had compiled them, but also in other congregations, as was especially a songbook called Uitgezochte Liederen, composed by a committee and published in 1809, which was introduced in about 20 congregations. Most of the hymns of all these hymnaries were borrowed from older songbooks though the words of the hymns occasionally were much altered. Often the same hymns were found in all these songbooks, most of which also contained a number of Psalms. Some Mennonite congregations introduced the Reformed Evangelische Gezangen of 1805.
From about 1850 nearly all these hymnaries were replaced by new ones. After an attempt to get only one hymnary for common use by Dutch Mennonites had miscarried, both Amsterdam and Haarlem compiled new hymnaries, Amsterdam in 1848 (Christelike Gezangen, 2 vv.) and again 2 vv. in 1895 (Doopsgezinde Liederen), to which a supplement was added in 1916, and Haarlem introduced new hymnaries, Christelijke Kerkgezangen in 1851 and Doopsgezinde Liederen and the Lutheran hymnbook, both in 1895. Both these Amsterdam and Haarlem songbooks came to be used by a number of other congregations, as was a new hymnary introduced in 1893 at Groningen and Deventer, 119 Christelijke Kerkgezangen.
In the meantime a number of Mennonite congregations had put into use a hymnary composed by the Union of Dutch (liberal) Christians (Nederlandsche Protestantenbond), which had been published in 1882, as well as the two hymnaries of the Remonstrants. In 1897 two Mennonite ministers, J. Sepp and H. Boetje, published Gezangen ten gebruike in Doopsgezinde Gemeenten. This hymnary, in 1900 enlarged by an anthology from the Psalms and usually called Leidsche Bundel, became the songbook of many congregations, though it was not introduced in all congregations as the authors had hoped.
In 1900 the following hymnals were in use (some congregations used two or even four different hymnbooks): Het Boek der Psalmen (Reformed Psalter) in 82 congregations; Godsdienstige Liederen of the "Protestantenbond" in 31; Leidsche Bundel in 27; Groote Bundel in 26; Evangelische Gezangen (hymns of the Dutch Reformed Church) in 18; Vervolgbundel op de Evangelische Gezangen (appendix to the hymns of the Reformed Church) in 14; Uitgezochte Liederen in 13; Christelijke Liederen 11 (Amsterdam hymnbook of 1870) in 11; Doopsgezinde Liederen (Haarlem hymnal I and II, of 1895) in 9; Evangelische Gezangen, uitgegeven vanwege de Remonstrantsche Broederschap (Remonstrant hymnaries I and II) in 7; Kleine Bundel (1791) in 6; Christelijke Liederen (Amsterdam hymnbook I of 1870) in 6; Christelijke Gezangen uitgegeven door de Synode der Evangelisch-Luthersche Kerk, 1884 (Haarlem hymnal II of 1895) in 5; Christelijke Kerkgezangen (Haarlem hymnal of 1851) in 5; Het Boek der Psalmen volgens de overzetting van het dichtgenootschap Laus Deo Salus Populo of 1759 in 2; Zwolsche Liederen in 1.
In 1940 these figures were: Godsdienstige Liederen of the "Protestantenbond" in 73 congregations; Vervolgbundel van de Godsdienstige Liederen of the "Protestantenbond" in 60; Leidsche Bundel in 45; Het Boek der Psalmen in 20; Evangelische Gezangen in 7; Vervolgbundel op de Evangelische Gezangen in 5; Christelijke Liederen II in 3; Doopsgezinde Liederen I in 3; Christelijke Gezangen, uitgegeven door de Synode der Evangelisch-Luthersche Kerk in 3; Aanhangsel (Appendix) to the Amsterdam hymnary (1916) in 2; Groote Bundel, Kleine Bundel, and Psalms Laus Deo, each in 1.
All these hymnbooks were put out of use in 1944, when a new hymnary, entitled Liederenbundel ten dienste van de Doopsgezinde Broederschap and commonly called Doopsgezinde Bundel, appeared. It came into being by the cooperation of the Mennonites, the Remonstrants, and the Dutch Protestantenbond. The Mennonites use the main body of 250 hymns, followed by a special appendix of 50 hymns, which are not inserted in the Remonstrant and Protestantenbond hymnaries. All Mennonite congregations, except three, introduced this new hymnary.
In the 16th and early 17th century only one hymn was sung at the beginning and one at the close of the meeting, and this remained the custom in conservative groups such as Groningen Old Flemish and Jan-Jacobsz group until the end of the 18th century. About the middle of the 17th century both Lamist and Zonist congregations, obviously influenced by the practice of the Reformed church, sang a hymn at three times. Nowadays most congregations sing a hymn three times during the services, but sometimes also four and five times. From about 1770 the churches gradually installed pipe organs to accompany the singing of the congregation.
Because the Dutch language continued to be used in worship in the Mennonite congregations of Hamburg-Altona and near by until the end of the 18th century, and in the congregations of East and West Prussia and Danzig until the beginning of the 19th, Dutch Mennonite hymnbooks long continued in use in these areas. Although most of these were imported from the Netherlands, some were expressly printed for these congregations in Prussia, and it is possible that two or three were actually printed there. As early as 1597 Sommige andachtighe ende leerachtige Gheestelicke Liedekens were published at Amsterdam but intended for the Mennonites in Prussia. Obviously they were used in the Frisian congregations. A 1638 edition of this hymnal (published at Haarlem, Holland) was used in the Frisian congregation of Montau, West Prussia. A Pruys Liedt-boeck inhoudende schriftuurlijcke nieuwe Liedekens (Amsterdam, 1604), with an Introduction by I.I. from Danzig, was followed by the Tweede Pruys Liedtbocksken in 1607. A number of Dutch Mennonite hymnals, mentioned before, such as the hymnal of Hans de Ries, the Kleyn Hoorns Lietboeck, and the Lusthof des Gemoeds, were also frequently used in the Prussian congregations. In the correspondence between the Prussian Mennonites and the congregations of Amsterdam and Groningen the request was frequently made to send Dutch hymnbooks to Prussia, and in 1753 (Inv. Arch. Amst. 1, No. 1600) mention is made of a hymnal for Prussia which was printed in the Netherlands.
The Flemish congregation of Hamburg-Altona, from 1685, used Gesanghboek of Gesanghen, om op alle feestdagen en vor en na de predicatie in de Vergaderingen te singen (Hamburg, 1685). The Christelijke Gezangen voor de openbaare Godsdienst-oeffeningen of 1802, usually called Altonasche Liederen, was also in the Dutch language and printed at Amsterdam.

HOUSTON, Tex. – Every day for the past four years, Shaka Smart has entered at least one quote, sometimes more, into a rapidly expanding dossier on his computer.
The word document is more than 115 pages long and literally includes thousands of quotes, some inspirational, some thought-provoking, from luminaries throughout history. But it started with one simple quote, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," from a John Keats poem.
When Smart gave me that quote back in August for a story I was writing, I didn't give it much thought. Today, those words really hit home. VCU's NCAA Tournament run, which included five wins over BCS conference schools, was a thing of beauty. I hope that when the sting of Saturday's loss fades, that people can appreciate the gravity of what transpired the last three weeks. From a lightly-regarded bubble team that was trashed on ESPN, to America's sweethearts, it's been truly magical.
"What our guys accomplished I think over the past four weeks has been terrific," Smart said. "I think we've played as good as basketball as anybody in the country."
Although they battled valiantly in a game that featured 10 lead changes, seven in the second half alone, the Rams' heart-stopping run to the Final Four ended Saturday with a 70-62 loss to Butler.
Ultimately, the game swung on Butler's cool-headed shot-making ability in the face of pressure, as well as the Bulldog's dominance on the glass. VCU, which had showcased an explosive offense and a stable of long-range gunners, finally couldn't hit enough shots to carry the day.
Butler, which reached the National Championship game a year ago, looked every bit as experienced as advertised. Junior guard Shelvin Mack buried the Rams with a series of 3-pointers and finished with 24 points. Lesser-known senior Zach Hahn scored all eight of his points during one critical stretch midway through the second half that gave Butler a 44-43 lead it would not surrender.
In the days leading up to the game, Smart thought Butler wouldn't be easily rattled by VCU's pressure, and they weren't. The Bulldogs turned the ball over just nine times. Additionally, except for one stretch early in each half, Butler was able to control tempo.
This loss will no doubt hurt the Rams for a while, because it was a game that could've gone either way, but didn't go in VCU's favor. That's understandable. When the final horn sounded, senior Jamie Skeen, who supplied a splendid 27-point, six-rebound effort, lingered before walking off the court slowly, the last Ram to leave. Throughout the tournament, Skeen talked about how he just didn't want the run to end, and Saturday, he looked like he meant every bit of it.
But, as time passes and the days turn into months, hopefully Skeen and his teammates will be able to appreciate what they've done. I can't tell you how many times I've been on the road and had someone look at my shirt and say, "VCU? What is that?" I suspect those moments will be few and far between from here on out.
In six games, VCU changed a school and a program, possibly forever. It took VCU more than 40 years to win its first five NCAA Tournament games. This year, they won five in three weeks.
VCU has always been a hulking, urban commuter school searching for an identity. But this March, it found one as a plucky, defiant underdog. After each win, the crowds grew, the frenzy built. Following the Rams' win over Kansas last Sunday, which gave VCU its Final Four berth, fans flooded Broad Street in celebration. Later, nearly 7,000 fans gathered at the Siegel Center, on short notice, at 1:30 a.m., for a celebratory rally.
Restaurants named sandwiches after players and offered VCU specials. Schools and businesses posted signs wishing the Rams good luck. Fans waited four hours in line for Final Four t-shirts and Nike printed "Shaka the World" apparel. People who had never heard of VCU before March cheered on the Rams.
VCU became a national fascination. Shaka Smart morphed into a rock star. Diminutive point guard Joey Rodriguez was adopted by TV's talking heads and some of the best sports writers in the world as the poster child for the underdog.
"It was a great run, Skeen said. "We made history. We went deep into the tournament and we did what everybody said we couldn't do. I couldn't be more proud of my teammates."
It's going to be different now, I imagine. Expectations will change. Fans will hope to capture this lightning in a bottle. Everybody will hope to duplicate the heroics of March 2011. Whether or not it happens again, and we all come to work every day believing it will, it won't change a thing about this and what it meant.
Before the game, VCU Athletic Director Norwood Teague stopped by my courtside seat and told us to take in the experience and enjoy it before adding, "And we'll be back." I desperately want somebody to prove him right, but even if they don't, it's still been a thing of beauty.

BeatTips MusicStudy: Sa'id - "Before We Started Fightin'"
Getting to the Rhythm, So I Can Get to the Rhyme
|By AMIR SAID (SA'ID)
"As a beatmaker, rhythm is fundamental to any structure I compose. As a rapper, rhythm is vital!" —Sa'id
A couple of weeks before I made and recorded "Before We Started Fightin'," I had been experimenting with extended bar structures. That is to say, rather than doubling up 1-, 2-, and 4-bar schemes, I was exploring the use of 8- and 12-bar frameworks. Throughout this exploration, I learned a number of different things. I learned new ways to anchor my beats with lightly syncopated drum patterns; I learned more about blending separate sampled pieces into single cohesive riffs; I learned more about why certain changes work better at specific points within a sequence, depending, of course, on the number of bars in the sequence; and I learned how "double time" tempos of longer bar structures could be manipulated in ways that allowed me to avoid timing correct (quantizing).
So it was the "double time"/bar structure manipulation discovery that had the most impact on how I made "Before We Started Fightin'." As a rhymer, I like to push past the typical AB AB AB AB rhyme scheme, and come up with new rhyme paths. So as a beatmaker, my focus is always on capturing the sort of rhythms that will allow me to create the vocal syncopation that best matches the idea, topic, or subject matter that I'm rhymin' about. Moreover, I don't see my vocalization as something separate from the mix; instead, I like to view my rhymes as just another instrument in the mix. (I will be writing more about that in an upcoming article.)
So when I came up with the idea—a semi-autobiographical story about a guy who realizes (almost too late) that his girl has just double-crossed him—, I wanted a beat structure that was aggressive, but not overpowering. I wanted something that would rumble in the beginning, then taper off at the end of the sequence. I also wanted something that didn't easily fit into 4/4. After re-arranging what was initially a *12-bar* sample, I chopped off 3 bars (shaving the tail of the main sample), and started experimenting with a 9-bar sequence, adding a lone snare on "the one" (rather than a kick) with a piece of silence, right before the main sample starts. Then I added in a hi-hat that I played straight through, live, with no timing correct. After that, I color everything with random low-velocity kicks. I had also added another guitar sample, but it distracted me when I was writing my rhyme; so I stripped it from the beat, and added one more hi-hat, and I was done.
For the mix, I EQ'd the bass in a way that turned up the rumble that I wanted. In contrast, I peeled back the highs to temper the vinyl static and to allow my vocals to come through stronger without using any compression. I tucked the hi-hats and kicks in the mix, so that they blended more with the main sample.

text: Alright here i go again, i posted this over on the soundcard BB. I have a new SB Live MP3+ soundcard and it's great except when i play Rollcage by Psygnosis i hear static when i go through tunnels in the game. I know this sounds dumb but i only hear it when i drive through a tunnel. I also hear this same static but not as prominent when i run the EAX demo of the helicopter going behind the brick wall. What is causing this? I actually brought back my original SB Live card and got a new one because of this and it's the same garbage. I thought it was just the Rollcage game but since i hear it a little in the EAX demo i'm wondering what else it could be. Al

As-Salaam Alaikum
Narrated (�Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her): We poured medicine in one side of the Prophet�s mouth during his illness & he started pointing to us, meaning to say, �Don�t pour medicine in my mouth.� We said �(He says so) because a patient dislikes medicines.�
When he improved & felt a little better, he said, �Didn�t I forbid you to pour medicine in my mouth?� We said, �(We thought it was because of) the dislike, patients have for medicines.� He said, �Let everyone present in the house be given medicine by pouring it in his mouth, while I am looking at him, except �Abbas as he has not witnessed you (doing the same to me).
Sahih Al-Bukhari [5:735-O.B.]
Narrated Ibn �Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (saw) said, �Healing is in three things: cupping, a gulp of honey, or cauterisation (branding with fire), but I forbid my followers to use cauterisation.
Sahih Al-Bukhari [7:585-O.B.]
Narrated �Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she heard the Prophet (saw) saying, �This black cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.� �Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, �What is As-Sam?� He said, �death�
Sahih Al-Bukhari [7:591-O.B.]
Translation of the meanings of Sahih Al-Bukhari �
by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan (printed 1994)
The first Hadith relates to the time the Prophet (saw) was on his �death bed� -
I ask, what need is there for medicine (to keep us alive) when Allah (swt) has already decreed the time when we shall pass?
What need is there for machines (to keep us alive) when we truly believe in the Here-after? ��. The Prophet (saw) said, �Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him & whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him����.
Exert from Hadith # [8:514-O.B.] Sahih Al-Bukhari
The other Ahadith (I have listed), relate to the type of medicine a believer may use (admittedly this is not a comprehensive list, as there are other Ahadith on the topic). Has man not strayed from this advice? Why has he strayed? He has strayed because of a lack of his under/overstanding.
In my own days of pre-Islamic ignorance, I used to take medication for hay-fever. It will be no surprise to many of you that, one spring when I attended the Dr�s surgery, I discovered the medication I had taken the year before, had been retracted from the market, due to the adverse side effects, I think it caused an increase risk of heart disease (or something similar).
Upon looking at the possible side effects of medicines since, I noticed we risk on average, about 5-10 possible side effects. In other words to �cure� one problem, we risk the advent of many other problems.
This is a �Warning� for those who �try to play God�, and to those who trust in man, ahead of their Creator, Glorified is He above all that they associate in partner with Him.
If you truly under/overstood, you would know that all Allah has to say is, �Be, and it is�

It was narrated that Usaamah ibn Shurayk (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Bedouin said: �O Messenger of Allaah, should we not treat sickness?� He said, �Yes, O slaves of Allaah, treat sickness, for Allaah did not send down any disease but He also sent down its cure, except for one disease.� They said, �O Messenger of Allaah, what is it?� He said, �Old age.� Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2038; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: �Allaah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down a cure for it.�
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5678.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
The basic principles of medicine are three: prevention, maintaining good health, and removing harmful substances from the body.
Allaah has mentioned them all together, to His Prophet and his ummah in three places in His Book.
He prevented the sick person from using water lest it harm him, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
�And if you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (by sexual relations) and you find no water, perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands (Tayammum)�
[al-Nisa� 4:42]
Allaah allowed the sick person to do tayammum to protect him, just as He permitted it to the one who has no water.
Allaah says concerning the maintenance of good health:
�and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days�
[al-Baqarah 2:185]
The traveller is allowed to break his fast during Ramadaan, to protect his health lest the combination of fasting and the difficulties of travel weakens him and affects his health.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
In the saheeh ahaadeeth there is the command to use medicine, and these ahaadeeth state that this does not contradict the idea of putting one�s trust in Allaah, just as warding off hunger, thirst, heat and cold by means of their opposites does not contradict it. Rather the reality of Tawheed cannot be perfected without following the means which Allaah has created in order to reach ends, both by His universal will and in His laws that He has prescribed. Ignoring this matter undermines the very essence of putting one�s trust in Allaah, just as it undermines the concept of Allaah�s command and wisdom, and weakens it so that the one who does not use the means to an end thinks that not using them is a stronger form of putting one�s trust in Allaah. But not using the means to an end is a sign of weakness which contradict the idea of putting one�s trust in Allaah, the essence of which is the reliance of the heart on Allaah to provide that which will benefit a person in this world and in the Hereafter, and to ward off that which will harm him in this world and in the Hereafter. But it is essential to depend on use of the means, otherwise one is denying the wisdom of Allaah and the laws which He has prescribed. So the slave of Allaah should not call his helplessness dependence on Allaah, or call his dependence on Allaah helplessness.

I am used to sticking up for myself, so your opinions do not hinder me.
Please do not think I am against medicine (& maintaining one's good health), the above Hadith clearly state - �Allah has not sent down any disease but He has also sent down a cure for it.�
For me, this is clear & means a 'natural cure', the Ahadith I stated mention natural medicines, and not 'man-made remedies�.
You are implying that, we have a duty to rely on technology that is imperfect � when I was a child and I caught a common cold, I �stuck it out� for a few days, until my body overcame it. Now my younger sister goes to the Dr�s and comes back with antibiotics, she tells me she has a chest infection.
If you rely on medicine every time you become sick, your body will not be able to build up a strong immune system, hence you in fact will only become weaker as a result.
If Allah (swt) had truly decreed that we should use the technology you speak of, then why has He created MRSA, a �hospital super bug� that is immune to any antibiotics???????
If you think medicine � can save your life, maybe you should offer Salah to the medicine!
If you think a machine - can save your life, maybe you should offer Salah to a machine!
If you think a man - can save your life, maybe you should offer Salah to a man!
Do you believe Isa (pbuh) cured lepers? And if so, how did he do so without medicine?
Allah�s word - �Be, and it is�

Dear Brothers and Sisters As Salam o Alikum
I am aware of the Hadith that says, Prophet did tell his companions not to pour medicine in his mouth but the other part I haven�t read that he ordered the medicine to be poured in everyone�s mouth present at that time. Anyhow, first we have to analyze that, does this mean that Holy Prophet did not took medicine ever in his life? I don�t think that is the case because the next Hadith which you have quoted indicates that in fact he did recommended some medicines like honey and cumin seeds etc. I have a book in Urdu by Dr Khalid Ghaznavi with a title �Medicines of Holy Prophet and the Modern Science�. He has narrated over 200 medicines which the Holy Prophet prescribed for his companions during the illness so once we consult hadith it can not be an isolated one from one book but we have to consult the remaining 5 as well and in those there are prescriptions from the Holy Prophet. In fact my mother is still using one of Prophet�s medicines for treating asthma, and has gradually improved in last about 5 years.
So I take it that way that he didn�t want to have medicine at that time and people around him should have obeyed him and perhaps that was the message he wanted to give by ordering the medicine to be poured in everyone�s mouth that, �Prophet must be obeyed at all the times, whether ill or healthy.� As his message was not only meant for his companions but for the rest of the human kind as well therefore it had to be intimated in clear terms.
God has created this universe governed by the Physical Laws or the laws what we call as nature. But God Himself is not governed by these laws rather He governs these laws and he do changes them only when he intends. Like in the times of Prophet Dawood the sign of acceptance of sacrificed animal was a fire receding from sky and burning it down, similarly the children of Israel were served with �manna and quails� descended from heavens and cloud used to serve the purpose of shade for them in Sinai Peninsula, Prophet Ibrahim came out of fire alive etc.
But God decided to have none of these physical laws to be broken in the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PUBH). Like Prophet himself lived in the valley of Shaib-ibe-Talib for about 3 years in state of drought and hunger but nothing came from heavens, he got severe injuries in his face during the battle of Uhad, He had to dig the ditch for the battle of Ahzaab, so he did not bring any miracle abstaining the physical laws except for The Quran. The splitting of moon was not a challenging miracle in its classical sense as it was presented by the Prophet to a limited gathering by the Will of Allah.
Life is the gift of God and we do not know as to when we will die. So we must try to preserve life with whatever means available. Indeed if one has to die he will not survive with whatever equipment or machinery we use except for the Will of Allah. But Allah has devised ways for us. As Allah says in Sura Sohraa 26 (The Poets) � verses 79 � 81 �And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink: And when I am sick, then He restores me to health: And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life:� there can be numerous causes of death like disease, accident, poison, hunger etc but that doesn�t mean that Allah physically kills someone. Similarly He says in Sura Najam 53 (The Star), �43. And that He it is Who makes (men) laugh and makes (them) weep; 44. And that He it is Who causes death and gives life- 45. And that He created pairs, of the male and the female 46. From the liquid when it is lodged. 47. And that on Him is to bring forth a second time; 48. And that He it is Who enriches and contents;�. So does this mean that Allah physically comes to make someone laugh or weep? No certainly He creates conditions which cause someone to weep and someone to laugh and be happy. Indeed we all must all love to meet Allah, but then should we pray to die in order to meet Allah? Or should someone take the course of suicide in order to meet Allah? No in fact Holy Prophet has forbidden all that. And do we really meet Allah once we die? No we will meet Allah only in Heavens. So lets not mix up things here. I often refer to a common saying in the military, �There is a hair line difference between bravery and stupidity like of having faith or trust in God and be lazy.� Like if someone jumps from tower or stand outside a trench just for nothing or to receive a bullet in the chest is indeed not bravery but at the same time advancing towards enemy under intense fire or firing on to them while taking appropriate position even once they are advancing with great momentum is indeed a courageous act. Studying hard, praying for good position in exams and leaving the rest on God is indeed having faith in Him, but by merely praying and not working hard is and act of laziness.
So should we take medicine or not? Well I think we should but leave the cure part for God. He may create conditions where a patient may recover from a simple glass of water and may create conditions where an artificial respiratory machine fails. He just has to say BE and it happens. But he does tell us to use our mind and struggle. As said in Sura Najam (The Star-53) verse 39 �And that man shall have nothing but what he strives for.�
The side effects of medicines mean that after administering the medicine to its maximum permitted dose these effects were found in the patients. It doesn�t mean that all effects will appear on a single medicine. There normally are 3 possibilities: (1) One or more effects may appear in most of the patients (2) At least one contraindication is likely to be experienced in most of the patients. (3) No side effect is likely to be experienced in most of the patients. And there are other alternatives as well if some one observes more side effects as a result of these allopathic medicines he may switch over to Herbal or Homeopathy which has least side effects. If we can�t eat rice in crude form what we do?? We cook it. So we have to find other appropriate ways rather to leave it altogether.
Similarly Allah is Raazak (sustainer and provider of food) be he does not go from door to door to deliver food. He has created ways and means to search and get ones� share how much someone gets? Well its all up to Allah. As He says in the following verses:
�And there is no animal in the earth but on Allah is the sustenance of it, and He knows its resting place and its depository all (things) are in a manifest book�.(Sura Hood-11 Verse-6).
�Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Is there a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful�. (Sura Nimal (The Ant 27)- Verse 64).
�And how many a living creature that does not carry its sustenance: Allah sustains it and yourselves; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing�. (Sura Ankboot(The Spider 29) verse 60).
�Allah is He Who created you, then gave you sustenance, then He causes you to die, then brings you to life. Is there any of your associate-gods who does aught of it? Glory be to Him, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him)�. (Sura Roam (The Romans-30) verse 40).
So indeed Allah is the sustainer and provider of food but he doesn�t provides it to us while we sit in our home waiting it to fall from the heavens it will not happen in the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad we will have to strive for it until Allah intends so. Similarly we will not be treated without medication until Allah commands it to be so and Allah usually doesn�t break his laws. As said in Quran:
�This is Our course with regard to those of Our apostles whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.� (Bani
�(Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.� (Ahzaab � 33:62)
So whether someone like Terri Shiavo should live artificially or not? Well I will 100% agree with Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi.

As-Salaamu Alaikum
I feel kind of honoured that, you have imparted so much effort in offering your reply, even if you do disagree with me. Of course you are completely right to state that the resources I have quoted from (ie Hadith from Sahih Al-Bukhari), alone, may not suffice for some (in justifying my position), hence let me briefly share a couple of my personal experiences (with regards to medicine)�....
In my pre-Islamic period of ignorance, when I was in the habit of shaving (ie my facial hair), I would incur symptoms of soreness (due to my sensitive skin), resulting in a (itchy) rash of the skin. Upon embracing Islam, I started shaving my private parts (performing Wudu after I had done so), however I experienced the same irritable rash.
I tried after-shave gel to quell the symptoms, to no avail, hence I cleaned the gel off (performed Wudu), and applied some baby cream (ie the sort used for nappy rash etc.). Again this was to no avail, hence I again cleaned the cream off (performed Wudu). Lost for a means to quell the irritation, I turned to invoking Allah (SWT) alone.
So I recited Surah Fatihah, & again performed Wudu, the Grace of Allah, the Almighty quelled my irritation.
An other example of my direct experience is as follows, I contracted a verruca, which actually stopped me going to the Masjid, as I did not want to infect anyone else with the same. Hence I turned to a verruca ointment, after the prescribed time period of healing was over, the verruca was as prominent as ever. I turned to an antiseptic cream, which also was insufficient.
So I recited Surah Fatihah, and the used the technique called �Ruqya�, & through the grace of Allah, the Almighty, my verruca was healed.
My point is, in both the above examples, I did initially turn to a �man-made product�, only to find that they were insufficient. It was only when I turned to Allah (SWT), that I was cured. Hence I make no apologies for the fact that, I have been �ordered to submit� (in the way I have). I have complete faith in Allah, and His Word, �Be!� and it is (although I do not wish to suggest that, I would not use �natural medicines�).
May I also comment on your suggestion that - �But God decided to have none of these physical laws to be broken in the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PUBH)� Let me quote a Hadith;
Narrated Sa�id bin Jubair (mAbpwh): �When Surah No. 111 (Surat Al-Masad) was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet (SAW) while Abu Bakr (mAbpwh), was sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet (SAW): �I wish if you get aside (or go away) as she is coming to us, she may harm you.� The Prophet said, �There will be a screen set between me and her.� So she did not see him (SAW). She said to Abu Bakr: �Your companion is saying poetry against me.� Abu Bakr said: �By Allah he does not say poetry.� She said: �Do you believe that.� Then she left. Abu Bakr said, �O Allah�s messenger! She did not see you.� The Prophet (SAW) said: �An angel was screening me from her.� �
[this Hadith is quoted in Musnad Abu Ya�la]
I would be very careful what you say, if I were you, as there are many ignorant people who think they know about the �physical laws�, you mention, but in fact know nothing of them!
Science is unable to explain how Muhammad (SAW) was screened in this manner, let me tell you why. It is because science is only the study of the �Seen�, however it is within the �Unseen�, that the control of physical phenomena exists. (ie your statement � �God has created this universe governed by the Physical Laws or the laws what we call as nature. But God Himself is not governed by these laws rather He governs these laws��).
I will ask you a simple question, how do you know - �But God decided to have none of these physical laws to be broken in the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PUBH)� When scientists are unaware of how the �physical laws� (you speak of) are governed?

Anemia (low levels of red blood cells) may increase the risk of dementia, according to a study published online today in the journal Neurology.
The study looked at 2,552 people 70-79. Of those, 393 had anemia at the start of the study. At the end, 445 had developed dementia.
Those who had anemia at the start of the study had a nearly 41 percent higher risk of developing dementia than those who were not anemic. The researchers took other factors, including age, race and sex, into consideration. Of 393 people with anemia, 89 (or 23 percent) developed dementia, compared to 366 of the 2,159 people who did not have anemia, or 17 percent.
Researchers said the link may point to a link between anemia and poor health in general. Another possibility, they said, is that low oxygen levels in anemic patients might contribute.
The National Institute on Aging and the American Health Assistance Foundation paid for the study.

What Happens When You Challenge A Vet?
The Chairman of Board of County Commissioners, Jim Norman, during a regular Board meeting in April, 2006, presented a challenge. It was requested that Tom Fletcher, Manager of Hillsborough County Veterans Affairs and Dave Braun, President of the Veterans Council oversee and effort to establish a fitting location in Hillsborough County, to memorialize the casualties of war from Hillsborough County. We were also tasked with the project of envisioning a Master Plan of Veterans Memorial Park and Museum.
Together, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Braun assembled a taskforce of interested parties along with Mark Thornton, Director of H.C. Parks, Recreation and Conservation to accomplish this exciting and far reaching endeavor.
We now have a Master Plan and the cost analysis that is presented in seven phases if it becomes necessary to go forward in phases. Please consider our committee's Master Plan to achieve this mission.
It is most important that the honor and respect of our community for our war dead, our active military and our Veterans be on display in the most prominent way possible. We feel strongly that this Master Plan is the answer to the challenge we were given by the BOCC.

Oh dear, it's October and I'm posting about the Fourth of July! I better start blogging a lot more or skip a lot of this summer.
My family goes crazy for the Fourth and this year was no exception. Marissa and her family were in town, and of course we couldn't miss watching the parade with my dad's side of the family!
Creed and Logan sat next to ach other for much of the parade, waving their tiny flags.
And this year, thanks to a new schedule, Larry even made it to the parade. I'm not sure what this picture was about, but sadly, it's the only one I have of him to prove he was there.
There was the usual Provo parade awesomeness that included camping out overnight for a spot (which thankfully did not include me), the race beforehand, loud cannons, lots of beauty queens waving, missionaries getting a huge cheer from the crowd, my family getting the whole crowd to chant for bands to play and balloons to twirl. This year Marissa even got her picture taken with Captain America ( I dared her to without thinking and I should have known that she would!)
And this year we also had some pretty fantastic glasses in the crowd, like these on Eli and his girlfriend, Brenna.
Me and Marissa
Whitney and Scott
and Tyler and Lisa even stopped by.
I meant to steal pictures of the rest of the days festivities from my mom. We had a big family BBQ and let the kids stay up late to watch the fireworks. We all thought Creed would be terrified (our neighbor's little street fireworks sent him into hysterics), but when the big show started, he was in awe and has been asking for fireworks every night since.
I went to bed that night with a heart full of gratitude for a wonderful family and a free country.

I live in Jacksonville, FL and my insurance premium went up by about $500/yr. I was told that the biggest reason was because my house isn't up to current code for hurricane/wind mitigation. I'm a fairly handy guy and was considering adding hurricane clips on my own. I will also need a new roof in the next few years and was considering a DIY job with a friend. I have a few questions.
- Do I need a permit to install hurricane clips?
- Would I be better off waiting until I do the new roof? My only concern here is that I don't want to rip up all the sheathing.
- Do I need a licensed contractor on the new roof? I realize this probably varies by county.
- Any other advice?

US Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford, who was withdrawn from Damascus over a year ago, laid out the Obama administration's assistance to some Syrian rebel groups, its efforts to undermine others, and overall plans for continued involvement in the Syrian civil war in testimony to Congress yesterday.
He also addressed the human need of over 1 million Syrian refugees and the economic strains they're putting on neighbors like Jordan, and pointed out that while dozens of countries have pledged humanitarian aid for refugees and the displaced within Syria, the money has not been forthcoming in the promised time-frame.
"In January at a conference in Kuwait, over 40 countries pledged $1.5 billion to help the Syrian refugees," Mr. Ford said. "We are pressuring the countries that have not yet paid to make good on their pledges – and I have personally asked our partners and Gulf and European countries to give the funds they promised." Big promises made at donor conferences that then fall by the wayside is a time-honored tradition in dealing with humanitarian crises.
Reading his full comments, the US has laid out a tough set of objectives for itself with limited, and imperfect means, that carry risks of their own, not least the desire to build up favored rebel groups by channeling humanitarian aid through them. Access to food and medicine can be withheld for strategic uses as much as they can be delivered, and some of the gatekeepers on the ground for this aid in Syria will not necessarily be squeamish about pursuing their interests.
The situation is clearly dire. Ford predicted the number of Syrian refugees could triple to 3 million by the end of the year if flight from the war "continues at its current rate" and warned that ethnic and sectarian violence could spread to neighbors. He pointed out that Jordan's Za'atari refugee camp near the Syria border is now the country's fourth largest city.
US humanitarian aid so far is almost $385 million. "This money is being spent on emergency medical care and supplies, blankets, and shelter. We are sending flour to 50 bakeries in Aleppo and sponsoring food and sanitation projects for the desperate families in Atmeh refugee camp," he said.
But what's most interesting are US goals for a post-Assad Syria, and the country's greatest fears. "Preserving Syria's national unity and laying the foundation for a free Syria that respects the rights of all its citizens is essential if we are to secure a Syria that helps, rather than threatens, stability in the heart of the Middle East," he said. Those are admirable goals, but one need only look to Iraq, where US troops spent nearly 8 years and over $1 trillion was spent, to see how hard it is to create countries that respect the rights of all their citizens.
In the worst case, Ford testified: "Collapse or fragmentation of the Syrian state or its takeover by extremists would threaten the region with hugely greater refugee flows, as well as the risks associated with the security of the regime's big chemical weapons stocks, and confront us also with the likelihood of major terrorist bases. Those outcomes would directly threaten our interests."
So what is the US doing? In broad strokes, Ford said the US is giving the Syrian opposition non-lethal assistance to:
* Solidify the efforts of Syrian moderates who are competing for influence with extremist groups, knitting the national opposition leadership with local councils on the ground inside Syria. The national opposition leadership needs to provide local communities with an alternative source of support to prevent the influence of Al Qaida's affiliates from expanding.
* Curtail the influence of extremists by helping national and local opposition leaders provide vital services such as food, water, and electricity. Syrian activists and rebels are working hard to unite the opposition, establish local governing structures, and provide assistance to the many Syrians in need. We need to work with these courageous Syrians – both armed and unarmed –so that they can respond quickly to critical needs.
* Prevent the disintegration of the Syrian state by supporting a unified, inclusive, and effective civilian leadership at both national and local levels – and by retaining the civil servants that can keep state institutions functioning as Syrians struggle to recover from this conflict.
Trying to build strong ties, which ultimately are about command and control, between people living through and fighting a war and exiled opposition figures is always a tough ask. Though the US this week welcomed the external civilian opposition's choice of Ghassan Hitto, an Islamist-leaning figure who's spent most of his adult life as an Information Technology professional in Texas, as their leader, it's hard to see Syrians in the thick of the fight against Assad ceding much authority to him.
While the US is trying to flow aid through the rebels it prefers, again and again reports from the ground in Syria indicate that rebel formations are willing to work with any group that they think can help them win. That includes groups like the US terrorist-designated Jabhat al-Nusra, which has ties to Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The last bullet point reflects the US experience in Iraq, where Paul Bremer's first two orders as head of the occupation authority there were to initiate a purge of officials who belonged to Saddam Hussein's Baath Party and to disband the Iraqi army.
But whether victorious rebels will share the same views on Syria's Baath Party if they win, or will be hungry for revenge after so much blood has been spilled, is at best an open question.
Towards the end of his testimony Ford goes in to a fair bit of detail on US efforts, from establishing local government structures that can channel aid in rebel-controlled areas, and repair schools and electricity delivery. Repairing schools and power plants were high on the list of US priorities during the Iraq war, though much of the money for those purposes were stolen or wasted, even with direct US supervision.
"We are looking to improve civilian security through training and some non-lethal equipment," Ford said. "This is critical to preventing a security vacuum in liberated areas that will be exploited by extremists if we do not help stand up civilian police." The security vacuum after Saddam Hussein was toppled in Iraq, in which the US tolerated looting of government infrastructure, helped set the stage of Iraq's descent into chaos that was soon to follow.
In the middle of a raging war, with any US supervision necessarily at arm's length, the success of such efforts are uncertain.

Diarylide Yellow is a semi-opaque, moderately staining, intense deep reddish yellow pigment with good tinting strength.
Diarylide Yellow 83 has very good lightfastness and permanence. However, it can fade in tints, so some artists do not consider it suitable as an artists' color. Many other diarylide yellow pigments are reported to have fair to poor lightfastness, and some are completely fugitive. Diarylide Yellow 83 is reputed to be one of the most permanent of the entire group.
Diarylide Yellow has no significant acute hazards, but chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Diarylide Yellow comes from a family of azo pigments called Diarylide. These yellow hued pigments were developed around 1940 and are very important in printing inks.
Benzidine Yellow, Diazo Yellow.

Pyrrole Red is opaque and has strong covering power. According to manufacturer Ciba, which uses the trade name Irgazin Red, it is a "clean, highly saturated mid shade red with high temperature resistance, excellent color strength, outstanding chemical, solvent and bleed resistance, and good weatherfastness."
Pyrrole Red is considered to have excellent lightfastness among organic pigments in its class. Tests in industrial applications have given it scores of 7-8 on the Blue Wool Scale.
According to the Australian government's Ministry on Health and Aging, "The notified chemical exhibited low oral and dermal toxicity in rats, did not exhibit toxic effects when administered orally to rats for 28 days, was not a skin irritant in rabbits, was not a skin sensitiser in guinea pigs, was not mutagenic in bacteria and was not clastogenic in CHO cells in culture. However, the notified chemical was a slight eye irritant in rabbits. On the basis of submitted data, the notified chemical would not be classsified as hazardous in accordance with Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances."
Pyrrole Red, used as an automotive paint and as a colorant in plastics, was developed as one of a range of pigments to replace lead based pigments. In art materials, it is often used as a synthetic and lightfast replacement for carmine, a laked pigment that was originally produced from the body of the cochineal insect. It is also used to replace the older naphthol reds, organic red pigments that are sometimes only marginally lightfast and weatherfast.

The "Perfectly Optimized" Page
The "Perfectly Optimized" Page infographic states that there is no such thing as a "Perfect Page". But don't be discouraged! Moz.com presents 3 key points to be followed to increase user happiness and outreach.
One important takeaway from this post should be that modern on-page SEO is about juggling competing priorities. In general, my recommended ordering of those priorities is as follows:
Create a page that is uniquely valuable to your targeted searchers.If at all possible, make the page likely to earn links and shares naturally (without needing to build links or prod people).Balance keyword targeting with usability and user experience, but never ignore the critical elements like page titles, headlines, and body content at the least.
There's no such thing as a "perfectly optimized" page, but I took a stab at drawing up the mythical beast anyway.
Over time, what's "perfect" might change, and new services, platforms, and areas of optimizational opportunity could arise. But for the past few years (notwithstanding some newer tactics like Google's rel=author), the model described in this post has held relatively stable. The "O" in SEO is getting broader, and I think that's a wonderful thing for marketers of all stripes. Targeting an algorithm instead of people is far worse than hitting both birds with the same handful of optimization stones.
This is a great us of infographics and data visualziations as part of a larger article. The infographics can stand on their own and be shared online, but also fit inn perfectly with the text article. This specific design is more of a blueprint diagram without showing and data, but has been very popular by itself.

Kate Middleton's First Official Portrait Is Revealed To Mixed Reviews. Let's Take A Close Look.
The Duchess of Cambridge's official portrait commissioned by the National Portrait Gallery in London was unveiled today.
above: Artist Paul Emsley reveals Kate Middleton's Official portrait to the press in London
The oil painting, by South African-born artist Paul Emsley, was a result of two sittings and three and a half month's work (and painting from a photograph). A frontal image of the 31 year old Kate's head, the painting is being criticized globally for prematurely aging the wife of the The Prince of Wales.
Several art critics are pointing out the fact that the painting includes bags beneath her eyes, deep lines around her mouth, a pale pallor and gives the Duchess a large nose.
I took the liberty of composing a close up of the portrait against a recent photo of the Duchess, so you can compare for yourself:
In the side by side comparison above, it seems that the artist created a very competent likeness, only in reality, her eyes seem a tad larger, her actual nose is smaller and less rounded and she has far more red in her skin tone than the painting suggests. That said, in my personal opinion, some of the critics are correct.
The photo I used for comparison:
The artist says he altered the color of her eyes to match her blouse (a silk teal shirt with a bow at the neck) and background.
Kate is wearing the sapphire diamond earrings that were said to be fashioned from a pair of Diana's in the portrait.
Can you see the artist painted himself as a reflection in Kate's left eye?:
The Duchess of Cambridge, 31, said that she wanted "to be portrayed naturally — her natural self — as opposed to her official self," Emsley said in the New York Daily News.
Of course the Royals are claiming to be thrilled with the portrait (ABC news reports that William called it "beautiful"), but reviews in newspapers and blogs are calling it everything from "rotten' to 'just plain ugly.'
What do you think?

I'm not a fan. The portrait makes her look at least a decade older.

I don't see a problem. It looks just like her. She's not a teenager.
Anyone else see the artist's reflection in her left pupil?

I like it. I also think that the portrait will remain close to what she looks like for a while. It manages to be both flattering and honest. A lot of the comments seem to be complaining that the portrait doesn't show her nice smile. Well, it's hard to maintain a genuine smile if you're sitting for a portrait, and there are lots of smiley pictures in gossip magazines, if that's all you want.

I think it looks just like her. She's actually not that pretty. How can anyone deny that it's her. It looks as though he actually softened some of her harder features.

I absolutely see it, but nobody else seems to be talking about it.

I also see the artist's image in her left eye. That's wild...never saw it until looking at these enlargements.
- Sunday, January 13, 2013
It's a true likeness. She's not soft or particularly pretty - she's hard, steely eyed, smug, determined and ambitious. In this photo she's staring at us, victorious: she's got the ring and the title and she's darn pleased with herself. And the side-by-side comparison shows that he painted her as she is, warts and all. Artists don't photoshop. Emsley's done a fantastic job and he's captured her true essence. Just because she's not looking girlish or innocent and just because she's not photoshopped doesn't mean he's a bad painter. No way did he deserve the public backlash.
- Tuesday, April 02, 2013
I don't know who she is (well I do now, but as a Swede it's not someone I would know of). But as far as the portrait goes it's as good as a bad retouch job in photoshop. An believe me I know about those since I work in the business. The softening is a big problem since it doesn't add beauty it just steals it and leaves her look bloated (even though the artist must think otherwise). Her nose looks nothing like it does in the original picture.
From a person that knows a bit too much about how the magazines and fashion industry works this is almost as bad as their worst jobs.
- Wednesday, April 17, 2013
. She is beautiful and he aged her. The bags under her eyes, the round nose. Her cheeks look like they have muscular dimples. Absolutely ridiculous for a royal portrait.

I'm astonished to realise that she looks older mainly because she looks like wearing heavy make-up.
The fact that her skin appears smooth, without wrinkles, makes her look like one of those mature women that insist on creams and powders to look younger, thus appearing like NEEDING to look younger.
There's a lesson to learn, I'd say:
beware of make-up and creams (including hydrating, exfoliating, cleansing, serums...).
The more you use that stuff to look younger, the older you look!
- Friday, September 20, 2013
She looks older and less cheerful in the portrait, definitely. What's the antonym of "flattering", "insulting"? For this sort of thing, the artist should err in favour of the subject, not against her. They eyes should be at least as large as they really are, her expression should be at least as joyful, and her wrinkles and lines at most as what they are, not emphasized. But the again, that's his style. This artist appears to flourish on painting the old and decrepit, using the lines and wrinkles to bring out the life in his paintings. That's his style; he's undoubtedly a good artist; he was just the wrong artist for the job. It's the person who chose him for the job that made the mistake, not the artist.
- Wednesday, January 08, 2014
Whether one likes the painting or not, for, as portraits go, it's always subjective, and subject to the artist's personal view and talent - this one obviously reflects this particular artist's style - this is a pretty picture, but, it is not a complementary likeness of the subject, and thus not appropriate to be the official portrait. Shame on the Royal Family for not having the integrity to be forthright and reject it.

Being a Bloom and Exercise Professional, it is my job to accept agreement and definitions which are commonplace to this industry, as able-bodied to accumulate beside of evolving trends. Through my experience, I accept begin that a amount of agreement deserve a little added description than that which they are granted.
Aside from allegorical the analogue of Bloom Accompanying Fitness, this commodity intends to afford some ablaze on a few of the associated terms, and to appearance their corresponding distinctions.
Is it artlessly all in a name?
The exercise apple seems to use the abstraction Bloom Accompanying Exercise like a all-encompassing exercise assumption – changeable with others like "Physical Fitness", "Health and Fitness" or artlessly "Fitness."
While all of these agreement can be included beneath the ample appellation Bloom and Concrete Fitness, they alone accredit to altered aspects – both all-encompassing and specific. Unfortunately, references to these and added fitness-related agreement are generally vague, while bendability in their advised use is bare at best; there is a affectionate of "generally accepted" use for them, but individuals generally await on own interpretation, and this can advance to confusion.
With that said, does Bloom Accompanying Exercise artlessly infer exercise by agency of acceptable health? Not quite. That is why we charge to accept a little added abaft these words afore digesting the definition.
How did the appellation Bloom Accompanying Concrete Exercise appear about?
That is a acceptable question. One could apparently ask what is this abstraction all about – can we not artlessly use the agreement "Fitness" or "Physical Fitness" instead?" Why Bloom "Related"?
The capital acumen stems from the actuality that a lot of bloom and exercise agreement are acclimated inconsistently and generally accredit to altered concepts or notions. Subsequent to the 1996 abode from the US Surgeon Accepted (Physical Activity and Health; a abode of the Surgeon General), there was a move to try and abode the alarming acceleration in blubber levels a part of the accepted American public. Studies and initiatives adapted acclimation a part of clinicians, bloom practitioners and exercise trainers to attack with the assignment at hand. Enter "Health Accompanying Concrete Fitness", a alive appellation to abode the accepted accompaniment of bloom a part of the public.
The analogue of Bloom Accompanying Fitness
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the capital ascendancy in this field, abortive definitions with cryptic and abstract wordings, as able-bodied as definitions absolute agreement which themselves crave defining, accept contributed to ambagious the appellation "Physical Fitness."
There exists no reliable adviser for Bloom and Exercise Professionals to admeasurement "Physical Fitness", because the appellation has been so about and inconsistently defined. It is therefore that one should accede the abstraction of Bloom Accompanying Fitness. The analogue accordingly centers on the 5 Components of Concrete Exercise which chronicle to "good health." These Components are:
- Cardiorespiratory Fitness
- Body Composition
- Flexibility
- Muscular Strength
- Muscular Endurance
On the added hand, Skill Accompanying Exercise Components are:
- Balance
- Reaction Time
- Coordination
- Agility
- Speed
- Power
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the analogue of Concrete Exercise emphasizes the difference amid Bloom Accompanying Concrete Exercise and Athletic Ability Concrete Fitness. Its point-of-departure is the "health" of the US nation, which is generally referred to as the "public bloom perspective." In that respect, the 5 Bloom Accompanying Exercise Components are added important than those accompanying to Athletic Ability (or Skill Accompanying Components).
Although the abstraction of Bloom Accompanying Exercise has an basic affiliation with "good health", the 5 Components are addressed individually by bloom professionals to acquiesce for their measurement.
Now that we accept a added compassionate of the term, what purpose does it serve?
Continuing from area the analogue larboard off, the cold of barometer the 5 Components is to admonish audience about their own accurate Bloom Accompanying Fitness, and to use abstracts acquired from the tests to architecture adapted exercise programs which can again be evaluated.
The 5 Components accord analogously to accomplish up a holistic Bloom Accompanying Fitness, which is of absolute absorption to the bloom of the accustomed citizen, in that the abstraction is normative. In added words, it is a accepted which allows for consistent application.
It is accordingly important for those alive in the bloom and exercise industry not to aberration "overall concrete fitness" with "Health Accompanying Concrete fitness."
To conclude, let us accede this acumen amid Concrete Exercise and Bloom Accompanying Fitness
One needs to buck in apperception that approved concrete exercise can advance all-embracing Concrete Fitness, as able-bodied as Bloom Accompanying Fitness. However, all-embracing exercise is a all-encompassing appellation and is up to abstract interpretation, while Bloom Accompanying Exercise can be assessed.
The acumen therefore, amid these two terms, exists in that Bloom Accompanying Concrete Exercise can be abstinent according to a set of accustomed allusive norms.
This is area the "rubber hits the road." The guidelines set out by the ACSM accredit bloom professionals to plan with audience to appraise and admeasurement their acknowledgment to exercise and appoint adapted exercise programs. A client's advance can again be monitored and adapted area all-important in adjustment to access the adapted exercise goals.

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.

Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct
Commentary - Rule 1.15
[1] A lawyer should hold property of others with the care required of a professional fiduciary. Securities should be kept in a safe deposit box, except when some other form of safekeeping is warranted by special circumstances. All property which is the property of clients or third persons should be kept separate from the lawyer's business and personal property and, if monies, in one or more trust accounts. Separate trust accounts may be warranted when administering estate monies or acting in similar fiduciary capacities.
[2] Lawyers often receive funds from third parties from which the lawyer's fee will be paid. If there is risk that the client may divert the funds without paying the fee, the lawyer is not required to remit the portion from which the fee is to be paid. However, a lawyer may not hold funds to coerce a client into accepting the lawyer's contention. The disputed portion of the funds should be kept in trust and the lawyer should suggest means for prompt resolution of the dispute, such as arbitration. The undisputed portion of the funds shall be promptly distributed.
[3] Third parties, such as a client's creditors, may have just claims against funds or other property in a lawyer's custody. A lawyer may have a duty under applicable law to protect such third-party claims against wrongful interference by the client, and accordingly may refuse to surrender the property to the client. However, a lawyer should not unilaterally assume to arbitrate a dispute between the client and the third party.
[4] The obligations of a lawyer under this Rule are independent of those arising from activity other than rendering legal services. For example, a lawyer who serves as an escrow agent is governed by the applicable law relating to fiduciaries even though the lawyer does not render legal services in the transaction.
[5] A "clients' security fund" provides a means through the collective efforts of the bar to reimburse persons who have lost money or property as a result of dishonest conduct of a lawyer. Where such a fund has been established, a lawyer should participate.

FRIDAY, Jan. 23, 2009 (HealthDay News) -- The first human trial using embryonic stem cells as a medical treatment has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Geron Corp., a California-based biotech company, has been given the OK to implant embryonic stem cells in eight to 10 paraplegic patients who can use their arms but can't walk. Stem cell injections will be given within two weeks of the injury. The study will begin this summer, and will be conducted at up to seven different medical centers.
"This marks the dawn of a new era in medical therapeutics," Dr. Thomas B. Okarma, Geron's president and CEO said during a Friday morning teleconference. "This approach is one that reaches beyond pills and scalpels to achieve a new level of healing."
Ultimately, this type of therapy might have the power to restore permanent organ and tissue function, Okarma said. The goal of this first trial is to see if injecting embryonic stem cells into humans is safe. However, the researchers will also be looking for signs of improvement in the patients' ability to feel sensation in or move their legs.
Patients will receive injections at the site of the injury. It is hoped these cells will mature into cells that will repair damaged nerves and produce chemicals that nerve cells need to function and grow.
This phase I trial will be limited to patients whose injury is located in the middle of the spine. If the trial is successful, Okarma said, the hope is to extend the treatment to patients with cervical spine injuries who are paralyzed from the neck down.
Okarma said the injections must be given early after the injury, before scar tissue has developed that would prevent the cells from growing, but after the initial swelling has subsided.
In addition, patients will receive anti-rejection drugs for about two months, after which they should no longer need those drugs. Patients will be followed for at least one year, he said.
The treatment is not expected to restore full function to patients, but the researchers hope to see modest gains. "Any return of bladder or bowel function, a return of sensation, or a return of lower extremity locomotion would be a very exciting finding," Okarma said.
In experiments with rats, researchers found these cells were safe and did restore some function. "These cells insulate as well as stimulate nerve fibers, leading to restoration of function in animal models of spinal cord injury," Okarma said.
The cost of this therapy isn't known yet, but Okarma said it would be "affordable."
Embryonic stem cells are the most basic human cells. These cells are believed to be capable of growing into any type of cell.
The controversy surrounding the use of these cells has become a political issue, with some objecting that the use of these cells destroys potential life because they must be extracted from human embryos. This belief resulted in the Bush administration banning federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
While the Obama administration has indicated that it will lift the ban, the stem cells used in this trial were obtained from one of the Bush administration's approved stem cell lines. However, no federal funds were used in the development of this treatment.
A decade has passed since the first embryonic stem cells were isolated at the University of Wisconsin, in groundbreaking research that was funded by Geron Corp.
Geron is also working on using embryonic stem cells to treat failing hearts and to create insulin-producing islets for type 1 diabetics, Okarma said.
"Embryonic stem cells are really nature's own way of making more of ourselves," Okarma said. "We are simply harnessing the biology of normal human development in our attempts to achieve permanent cures to chronic disease and injury."
Peter Kiernan, chairman of the Christopher And Dana Reeves Foundation, said he's excited about this latest development in stem cell research.
"This is not just a comet across our sky, this is really more like dawn," Kiernan said. "We are beginning a vast human experiment, and we have been waiting an extremely long time to get to this point. This is a very significant development."
At the same time, Kiernan said he does not overestimate what can be expected from this trial.
"Of the millions of people dealing with paralysis in our nation, they are all delighted with subtle increases in function," Kiernan said. "We eat, drink, sleep getting people out of wheelchairs, but the reality of the world we are in is if people get bowel function, some sexual function, some ability for movement, that is a wonderful outcome."

We are excited to announce that we have launched a brand new website called Sanctuary Stories. Through these stories we hope you'll get a glimpse into what makes Best Friends Animal Sanctuary such special place for homeless pets, and how you can be a part of this meaningful mission.
Most of the animals we'll feature here will be adoptable, and a few of them will spend their lives here with us. You can sponsor any one of them and help that pet live the best life possible.
We are excited to share these pets' stories with you and hope that you'll join in this conversation.
Thank you so much for being part of their, and our, 'Sanctuary Stories'.
