Legal Comparability and Cultural Identity: The Case of Legal Reasoning in Jewish and Islamic Traditions
Joseph E. David
Sapir Academic College - School of Law
May 23, 2010
Electronic Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 14, No. 1, May 2010
Comparativism is not only a means for political change, but also a heuristic tool for the legal historian within explanatory contexts. The comparability of the Islamic and Jewish legal systems in the medieval period is a typical case for comparative legal history repeatedly mentioned both by legal historiographers and by scholars of religious studies. Our aim is to examine the comparability of these legal systems in the light of modern comparative theories and methodologies: What makes these legal traditions comparable? Is it the theological proximity, the factual transplantations or perhaps the jurists' jurisprudential self-understandings? Our test case will be one of the debated topics in legal philosophy at that time – the legitimacy of legal reasoning in interpreting legal sources and analogizing novel cases to known rulings. Our analysis of the attitudes towards this problem and in relation to theological principles and legal theories in the Islamic and Jewish legal context will revalue the applicability of current comparative theories in a pre-modern and non-western scene.

SYSTEM FOR TRANSLATING TO AND FROM SINGLE ERROR CORRECTION-DOUBLE ERROR DETECTION IIAMMING CODE AND BYTE PARITY CODE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION For many years the computer industry has relied upon on the now familiar three dimensional random access magnetic core type of memory as its high speed working storage. Inherent with these memories and their manufacturing processes was a high degree of reliability. In other words, it would be very rare for a core memory to come out of the manufacturing process that was not essentially 100 percent usable. This is due to a number of factors. The primary factor is that each individual bit storage location or core is separately testable before it is assembled into the final memory.
Thus, individual bit failures in magnetic core memories are somewhat unusual. The type of failures that normally occur in this sort of a memory will affect a complete plane row or column of the memory due usually to some wiring or driver breakdown. This obviously necessitates a complete manufacture or fix of the memory.
However, with the advent of newer extremely high speed solid state memories generally referred to as the large scale integrated circuit memories, it is not normally possible to inspect individual bit storage locations as they are generally made on either a plane or a complete three dimensional entity basis. Thus it is intrinsic in the manufacturing process that such a memory can normally not be tested until it is completely fabricated and assembled. It is accordingly not possible to monitor the manufacturing process of such memories on a step by step basis but the final testing must literally be delayed until well along in the manufacturing process. That is to say that it is not possible to cast out individual bit storage locations. it may thus be readily seen that it is desirable to have some way of tolerating a certain percentage of failure in this type of a memory. One way of avoiding bad storage locations is of course mapping around said storage locations as is well known but this requires great amounts of hardware and programming efiort on the part of the overall system supervisor in assigning storage locations to tasks. However, this is the technique that must be resorted to in the case of massive errors in such a memory where a large section is rendered unusable. However, another possible way of avoiding, for example, errors in a memory word is the use of error correcting codes such as those of Hamming wherein extra bits are provided with a data word and by logically combining the data bits with the extra or check bits. It may be determined whether or not a data word read out is erroneous and if the errors detected can be corrected within the capabilities of the code. The coding techniques of Hamming have been known and used widely in the communications industry for many years. However, such error detection and correction has seen rather limited use in the computer field due to the expense both in terms of providing extra bit storage in the computer memories and also in the rather large quantities of additional logical circuitry which has been necessary in the past to effect the necessary error detection and correction.
It should be noted that in a computer system when data is being transferred from the various portions of the computer such as the various short term registers, computational circuits, etc., parity checking is used to check for the correctness of data. Whenever a parity error is detected, a signal is provided and a retry or retransmission of the data is called for and in the great majority of cases, this will provide correct infor- .ation. However, in the case of memories, where an error is normally not due to circuit transients as in the former case, parity checking would obviously provide an error indication but since most memory failures are hard failures, there is no way of identifying the exact bit failure location with parity checking techniques. It is for the reasons that some error correcting code such as Hamming codes must be utilized if some form of error correction is to be obtained. However, as stated before the majority of error correction schemes knownin the computer industry have required excessive and expensive quantities of logical circuitry. Also, in most prior art schemes separate parity generators had to be used in addition to the error detection and correction circuitry to parity and code data being transmitted from a memory to some other location in the system. Additionally, Hamming encoding circuitry had to be provided to generate the necessary error correcting check bits to be stored in memory with each new data word being written therein. Thus, it may readily been seen that the provision of both error detection and correction circuitry plus the various parity encoding and decoding circuits totally comprise large quantities of logical circuitry which in the past have all been separate units.
For the previously stated reasons, error detection and correction circuitry has been provided in the past only in extremely expensive, highly reliable computer systems where the user was willing to pay the high price necessary to obtain desired error detection and correction together with more conventional parity checking features both in the memory and elsewhere in the system.
SUMMARY AND OBJECTS It has now been found that a very versatile error detection and data translation circuit may be provided for use with computer storage elements or memories and which is especially adaptable for use with large scale integrated memories wherein the features of error detection and correction may be combined with parity checking and error generation in a set of highly versatile multifunction circuits. The circuitry of the present invention performs both a data translation function and an error detection and correction function. By data translation is meant converting from parity encoded data into Hamming coded or check bit coded data on a memory write cycle. Conversely, check bit coded data is converted by the same circuitry into parity encoded data on a memory read cycle. In addition, essentially in parallel with the parity encoding operation error detection is accomplished. While a certain amount of additional circuitry is obviously required to accomplish these functions, the circuit duality or multifunction capabilities keep the total amount of circuitry well below what has been utilized in the past wherein separate circuits had to be provided for each of the above-named functions.
It is thus a primary object of the present invention to provide a versatile multifunction error detection circuit.
It is a further object to provide such a circuit which produces the necessary syndrome bits for error correction when a single data error is detected.
It is a still further object to provide such a circuit capable of transforming from a parity encoded data format to a single error correction-double error detection (SEC/DED) coded data format.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide such a circuit also capable of transforming from a SEC/DED coded data format into a parity encoded data format.
It is another object to provide such a circuit capable of performing both said data transformations in essentially the same circuit elements.
It is a further object to provide such a circuit which signifies that a data word read from memory is error free and may be transferred to some other element of the computing system without passing through any correction circuitry.
It is a still further object to provide such a circuit which may selectively specify that a data word is error free, that a single error occurred in the check bits, that a single error is present in the data and a correction is required or that a double error has been detected and that no correction is possible.
It is yet another object to provide such a circuit which is capable of performing a parity check function prior to performing a memory write cycle.
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

For reals? Looked at one way, the new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph (Ref 26703ST) is a nice new combination of two of the brand's favorite Offshore pieces, the chronograph and the diver. But what in the world is up with these colors? I think I'll call them the fruit family – lime green, lemon yellow, and orange orange. Now, as for the blue and yellow combination — just fine by me. In fact I find this to be a very attractive watch. a real beauty and nice function to boot. The others, well I'm still trying to comprehend that these are now part of the Royal Oak Offshore family.
I recognize the desire of customers to have more options these days, and wow. What does this say to us about one of watchmaking's most venerable manufactures? I mean, this would seem a bit wild even by Hublot's standards…but AP?! Audemars Piguet has obviously elected to make a bold move here, and frankly I'm quite intrigued. While Hodinkee calls the new pieces "exceptionally cool", I'm not so sure. This is probably going to be a polarizing product for AP fans. What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
- Blue: Blue dial and inner bezel, yellow markers on the diving bezel, polished hands and white markings and indexes – on blue rubber strap. Ref. 26703ST.OO.A027CA.01. AP Cal 3124/3841.
- Green: Green dial, black inner bezel with green markers, black sub-dials and blackened hands, white markings and indexes – on green rubber strap. Ref. 26703ST.OO.A038CA.01. AP Cal 3124/3841.

Keywords: House on Grand Canal with dock Walk to Siesta Beach 5 minutes away!
I enjoy providing my guests with a house that will make their holiday a special time. I strive to provide a great vacation spot with many ammenities and great service. Holidays are a special time for ourselves and our families, so I keep this in mind and really keep an attention to detail. I've owned the home since 1989. I speak English, Spanish, Un Peu De Français.
Mimi (Noemi) Gonzalez purchased this house in 1989
The house is very comfortable and only a few minutes walk to Siesta beach- which was ranked #1 in the USA in 2015 and 2011. The house is also on the Grand Canal- so you have waterfront and can kayak, or canoe through the canals which lead to the Inter-Coastal Waterways. Or, you can rent a boat and tie up to the dock. A private pool and extensive deck, which faces the sun all day, will make your holiday even more special.
Walk to beach- only 1.5 blocks (5 minutes). On the water- 125' on the Grand Canal- 2 kayaks provided and 1 canoe, or you can rent an boat and tie up. The canal is also fun for fishing right from the dock! The Siesta Key Village is not far- only 20 minutes walk, so you can have dinner at the local restaurants and pubs ,and maybe a Happy-Hour, and then have a nice leisure walk back home- or ride the bikes provided!
Our family (two adults, 3 children (12, 10 & 8) had a wonderful relaxing stay at this villa after two weeks in Orlando. The villa was well stocked, with everything we could need to make our stay feel like home from home. The beach and village are easily accessible and the canal side setting with kayaks and canoes for the children to enjoy was a real bonus. Mimi was great to deal with, on hand when required and attentive without being intrusive. We hope to return for another dose of relaxation Siesta Key style.......maybe next year?
Our family found our home away from home in Siesta Key! We wanted a house with a private pool that was also close to the beach, which is tough to find in Siesta Key. But, Mimi's home checks all the right boxes. It's a ten-minute walk or two minute bike ride to the beach access, which is at the north end of the public beach access area (still pretty private, even on Memorial Day weekend). Also, a five minute bike ride (or two minute drive) to the village restaurants. Even though it's close to the action, the house is in a quiet residential neighborhood; we didn't really hear anybody else and the back yard felt extremely private. The house itself was delightful: great open floor plan, well-furnished, clean, and comfortably equipped. The pool and hot tub were delightful! Finally, Mimi deserves special recognition for making us feel at home, from her rapid responses to email questions as we made the arrangements to her meeting with us at check-in to walk through the home. We'll be back!
If you are heading to Siesta Key to go to the beach, this is the house for you! A 1 1/2 block walk to the beach, or use one of the included bikes and be there in a minute. A 5 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk to the village and it's neat restaurants, shops, and bars. The home has a very nice pool and great screened lanai. The sliding doors from the living room to the lanai are heavy and a bit difficult to push, but that's about the only issue with the home. The week we stayed a brand new memory foam mattress arrived for the Master Bedroom. It was wonderful. The canal location is great for canoeing and kayaking with included canoe and kayaks. Really nice kitchen and very bright and open feeling to the home.
Beautiful home in a perfect location with a scenic canal running through the back yard. House includes all amenities you could ever want for a fun day at the beach or a bike ride into town. Mimi was very easy to work with, and went out of her way to make sure our vacation was perfect. I Highly recommend this house.
There are so many good things about this house and especially it's location. Easy walk to beach or village. We brought our boat for the month and used it daily. Owner really has everything for your stay from beach chairs to kayaks and enough bikes for everyone. We will stay here again. There are only 2 items I did talk to the owner about and she was very receptive to both issues.
The house is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. My group was 4 Adults and 1 child (10 yr old). Mimi was very responsive and clearly had our interests at heart. She gave us a brief tour when we arrived and made sure to point out all the amenities available. The house is on the canal, and in a quiet neighborhood. The amenities Mimi has provided are impeccable. There are noodles (for swimming) beach chairs, beach towels, sand buckets, shopping carts, table tennis table (and paddles and balls) Kayaks, a canoe, fishing gear (including poles, weights, lines etc), beach bags, pool volleyball set, 6 bicycles etc etc etc. Honestly, we were all blown away by what was provided. The house is even better. 3 bedrooms (enough for 6) comfy beds, extra linens, towels, blankets, pillows. 2 bathrooms (one with a tub), lanai for enjoying the evening breezes. The pool was great and well maintained (pool guy came during the week to clean & service) and we spent many evenings sitting by the dock, enjoying the breeze. The kitchen comes fully stocked with anything one could think of to cook with (including crock pot, blender, toaster oven, dishwasher, huge fridge, electric stove) There's a washer and dryer in the garage that worked like a dream and was big enough to hold several days towels and clothing) The A/C was great too, as it gets hot in August! The beach is a quick 2 block walk, and Mimi provided carts to haul all the beach gear. The village is a little farther, definitely walkable. She also provides a manual that gives you a lot of options in Siesta Key for fun. The house is on a huge lot and has very nice landscaping and is beautifully decorated inside. We all had one of the best vacations we have experienced; aided in no small part by Mimi and the canal house. I would highly recommend it, and we plan on visiting again ASAP! Thanks, Mimi!
Located only a 5 minute walk to Siesta Key Beach, ranked #1 Beach in the USA, 2015 and 2011. On Grand Canal, waterfront. Siesta Village is only a 15 minute walk.

- Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a life coach?
A life coach is someone who aims to help and empower others to make, meet and exceed personal and professional goals - including excelling in the workplace, becoming happy and fulfilled in the home, exploring the self and the world, and achieving ambitions.
By harnessing specialist techniques based on core psychological principals and natural intuition, life coaches provide clients with the tools to confidently face difficult situations, push past emotional barriers and eventually view life with fresh, hopeful and enlightened eyes.
Just as sports coaching enables athletes to hone themselves into the fastest, strongest, most tactical competitors in their disciplines, life coaching helps people from all professional and personal backgrounds improve their strengths and build upon their weaknesses to make the most of their lives.
A life coach will never try to be an 'agony aunt' - he or she will never attempt to dish out advice because, firstly - giving advice is just a way of imposing a personal view of the world onto another person (who may or may not share the same view) and, secondly - it is not a life coach's job to become personally involved in a client's life. Life coaching is about objectivity, structure and empowerment, not instruction or indoctrination.
At the heart of it all lies the idea that clients must be given the power to help themselves. Offering advice, opinions and judgements would undermine some of the basic principals behind life coaching, which include:
A) Subjectivity: we all have different perspectives of the world - no one perspective is 'right' or 'wrong', but some perspectives are restrictive and can stop a person becoming who they want to be.
B) Empowerment: it is within everyone's capability to adjust the limits of their own perspective. With the help of life coaching, anyone can learn to open their mind if they wish.
C) Guidance: there is a difference between an instructor and a guide. An instructor shows a person exactly what to do, whereas a guide provides the tools and support a person needs to do something for themselves. A life coach is a guide, not an instructor.
The term 'coaching' itself comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for 'carriage', which is a means of transporting something from one place to another. A life coach therefore, is an individual who guides another individual from where they are in life, to where they want to be in life.
Isn't life coaching just an American fad?
True, life coaching does stem from the 1970s American vogue for motivational talks and self-help books, which have always been notoriously sickly-sweet and upbeat in their mission to motivate the masses. British people tend to shy away from the idea of 'self-help' and 'self-improvement' - mainly because the mantra 'Keep Calm and Carry On' is an intrinsic part of our national psyche, making us a down-to-earth, self-deprecating crowd. Whereas the British are stereotypically stoic and modest in nature, the United States was built upon ideologies of strength, hope and improvement - values that paved the way for a flourishing self-help industry centuries later.
Unlike some of the self-help titles from the U.S ('How to Shine Out in a Crowd', 'How to Keep a Man in Love with You Forever' along with thousands of other titles claiming to help readers get rich, get fit, get happy, get healthy in five seconds etc.), life coaching did not make any unbelievable-sounding claims - it did not pose as a miracle cure for unhappiness, or a quick-fix solution for obesity or debt. It offered a structured, methodological and realistic approach that resonated well with the British philosophy. The life coaching techniques used were based on psychological evidence and basic intuition, not opinion, judgements, or wishy-washy life advice.
People are starting to realise that 'self-help' is not a self-indulgent fad, it is in fact a way of improving what we already have, utilising what we already know and breaking down limiting preconceptions about who we are and what we're capable of. Even the most skeptical among us can benefit from discussing and organising our lives with an impartial stranger.
So to answer the question simply - no, life coaching is not just an American fad. It is a legitimate, effective and transformational process that is here to stay and looks set to continue growing in the UK over the coming years.
Where can I find out more about the life coach industry?
How did life coaching become an industry? Why do so many of us search for advice and guidance? How successful is the life coach industry today? To find the answers to these questions and much more, simply head over to our History of Life Coaching page.
What happens during a life coaching session?
Life coaching sessions will typically be for a specific duration, often between 45 minutes and 60 minutes (depending on the life coach you choose). Sessions can be conducted over the phone, face to face, over email, via Skype and occasionally through instant messaging.
During the session, your life coach will ask you about what you want to get out of life, what areas you're unhappy with and where you'd like to see yourself ending up. Although a life coach will work with you, it's often up to you to challenge or reflect upon certain ideas to help you move forward with your life. You will never be forced to make any decisions you don't feel comfortable with and all sessions will be confidential, allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings privately.
Life coaching is often seen as a partnership between you and your life coach, who will gently encourage you to explore how to make positive changes in your life. A life coach should also offer support and feedback to help you to stay focused on your goals.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is thought to be one of the most effective and accessible self-help methods to come from modern psychology. Many life coaches use NLP techniques to help 'reprogramme' clients' patterns of thinking and behaving. To find out more about what NLP is and how it works, please visit our full information page about NLP.
Are there different types of coaching?
Yes. There are many different coaching styles coaches use to address different situations. To find out more, simply head over to our Coaching Styles page.
How is life coaching different from counselling?
The fundamental difference between counselling and life coaching is that counselling usually investigates the roots and causes of potential mental health problems, whereas life coaching focuses mainly on the future to encourage personal-development and self-improvement. Life coaches are not (unless specified) qualified to diagnose or treat any health-related problems, although if the situation arises they may suggest you see a GP.
What can a coach help me with?
Life coaches utilise effective techniques to help their clients in all aspects of life. If you've ever struggled with anything - whether it be sticking to a diet, learning a language, moving out of your comfort zone, standing up for yourself at work, keeping a stable love life, or achieving those things you always wanted to do (see a whale, go to Asia, climb a mountain and other so called 'bucket-list' activities), then consulting a life coach could help you.
A life coach will approach things pragmatically. Through questions and exercises, he or she will try to get a good idea of how you look at the world. From this they will be able to identify the most effective route to your goal. Some people feel intimidated by the idea of change and so need to take things very slowly to fulfil their goals. In this situation a life coach might divide ultimate goals into smaller bite-sized pieces. Other people get impatient and lose interest if their dreams aren't realised immediately. In this situation a life coach might suggest introducing stronger reminders and incentives to keep them on track.
However you approach life, your life coach will be able to tailor your sessions to fit. Subjects life coaches deal with include:
- Love life - do you ever wonder why the opposite sex never seems to be interested in you? Do you wish you had the confidence to approach someone you have your eye on? Do you have commitment problems? Do you have problems trusting your spouse? Are you having an affair? Are you struggling to deal with a divorce? Whatever the problem, a life coach could help you to understand your love-life problems and then work towards rectifying them.
- Business life - starting and running a business is tough work. Sometimes we get so absorbed in hard work we neglect ourselves. Life coaches can help with confidence, leadership, decision-making and work/life balance.
- Personal life - perhaps you feel like you're not making the most of life. There's so much to see, do and learn in this world, but often a lack of confidence, time and will-power can cause us to stay inside not doing anything. Life coaches use specialist skills to motivate their clients to do the things they want to do, so they can finally fight the urge to procrastinate.
- Performance - improvement is at the heart of life coaching. Whatever your skill, life coaching could help improve it. Whether you're an athlete, an artist, a writer, a performer, or a musician - adopting specialist techniques will help you to push your limitations and exceed expectations.
For a full list of subjects life coaches deal with, please head over to our Life Coaching Areas section.
Is life coaching expensive?
The cost of a coaching session will depend on a number of factors, including the type of coaching you require, the length of the session and location (you may find that central locations such as London charge a higher premium). On average, coaches can charge anything from £40 to £100 per session (business and corporate coaching can be more expensive). Many coaches offer a free initial consultation, and some may be able to offer discounted services.
How many life coaching sessions will I need?
You can have as many or as few life coaching sessions as you like. Because many life coaches operate over the phone or via the Internet, the sessions can easily fit around your schedule. Some people hire a life coach once every few months, some people have a session once a week. Often, it is entirely up to you to decide.
How can I tell if a life coach is any good?
Life coaching is currently an unregulated profession in the UK, meaning anyone can essentially design a business card and call themselves a life coach. Because of this, it can pay to do your research very carefully. On this directory you will only find life coaches who have either provided us with evidence of membership with a recognised professional body, or sent copies of relevant qualifications and insurance cover.
Still, qualifications and memberships mean little if you don't get on with your life coach. Rapport is one of the most important parts of life coaching. If you feel uncomfortable with your professional, you are unlikely to gain much from the session. It is therefore advisable to get in contact before you book a session. Never feel obliged to continue if you don't want to - you should never feel like you are listening to a sales pitch.
How do I search for a life coach?
In the top right hand corner of this page you will see a red box. All you have to do is type in your postcode, town or county and hit the blue 'search' button.

This will take you to their profile, where you can find contact details, price lists and a description of who they are, what they do and how they can help you.
Can I have coaching online or by telephone?
Lots of coaches offer online and telephone coaching for individuals who are unable to meet them face to face, or whom may simply find these services easier and more convenient.

Oh Donna....every gardener has days like that. But it does get better.
You just have a lot on your plate right now. One year...I had a day like
that...I went in my garage, took out all the seed packets I had not used
yet...dumped them in my trug and went out and scattered them all over my
gardens with an evil laugh. HA!!! "DIE OR LIVE....I DON'T CARE!" Well,
they lived. Flowers everywhere...what a mess to sort through. But
hey...I had lots of cut flowers.

Nothing grew at the rate is should have... been trimming and yanking

Seems my timing is also off as not much is blooming at the moment...
urgh! Beginning to think I should yank everything out and have someone
who knows what they are doing come in and try again...nah...
Lets talk Hydrangea... Thought was depending on your soil conditions..
the blooms would either be pink or blue.... so why does mine have a
flower of each on it?!? Someone care to explain this too me...
Daylilies... one of my plants has a very strange leaf on it... like it
is dieing in the middle of the leaf. Is this rust something? Haven't
introduced any new ones and those have been there since 97-98?....
wouldn't that have shown up sooner?
It appears something is eating my butterfly bush (black knight)...
leaves have holes in them... couldn't find a bug to save my soul...
Found a couple of volunteers that I have no idea what they are... hate
that, could be this or maybe that...but since they are blooming so nice,
they got to stay.
Last season I tried some seeds from ebay... most didn't come up, or I
didn't care for them, so pitched the notes since they were all
annuals... now I got a big patch of something. Obviously, the seeds
needed cold to germinate as there was nothing there last year... now I
don't have clue what they were...
Not a good gardening experience today, most of the day was sunning hot
and muggy... later in the afternoon the clouds rolled in and it cooled

The Mercury of Mercury
By M. E. Riddle
Dead eggs living, dying fast,
Birds over A.M. from distant past.
No comprehension, lost in tide,
Scratching, seeking to hide.
Bovine madness on the farm,
Degree is rising, impending harm.
It's poison flying, formation in rapture,
Incognito, for man to capture.
Molecular monsters travel through
Membranes of mothers' wombs.
Barometers wait to feed,
On parasites, through wealth and greed.
Of pesticides and coffee cups,
Computers and rusting trucks.
There's selenium in Stockton,
Dioxin in Detroit.
Human feces on the strand,
Hypo needles in the sand.
Dead eggs living, dying fast,
A needless pun to understand.
The forecast to be,
The mercury of mercury.
The results at hand,
The death of man.

Intriguing and very intense. Flows easily and reads well. Do you have an insight that I dont?? ..maybe all engineers do !!! Great poem.
i have a new one called the Pivot - would love some feedback!!
Thanks man. Maybe after raping the planet for decades for the benefit of mankind engineers may have some sort of guilt complex that needs to be expressed, I don't know. Thanks for the feedback. I'll check your stuff out as well and get back to you.
Great poem, I like the way you express your ideas, really brings out a sense of impending doom.
Again, Thanks Bob. After thirty years in the mining industry I guess I feel a bit of guilt about the enviromental damage we as humans have managed to accomplish. I am now a concious enviromentalist, but not at the expense of American jobs. This expresses my concern of the future that we as stewards of the planet must address.
who has poisened our sea ... humans have but we wont stop until its far to late because we like all our gadgets and gizmos that make our life easier ... well until its far to late then humans will raise our hands to the sky wailing as we drive our big cars and go home to our plastic filled houses and switch on all our electrical sucking gadgets and yes i am as bad as the rest i will do my little bit of green but only enough to ease my consious ... thought provoking poem

I've been taking ChlorOxygen softgels daily (one morning and one evening) for about 8 months now, since my friend suggested it prior to my visiting her at a high altitude. She said it takes about 2 months for the red blood cells to develop. My blood oxygen level had been measured at my doctor's office prior to taking this, and it was at 95%. When it was remeasured about 3 months later, it was at 100%. I am a singer, and I have noticed a significant improvement in my lung capacity. I have also noticed a significant improvement in my general clarity of mind, physical & mental energy, and mood (I feel happier and calmer). This has been a game-changer for me, because I have a chronic health condition that often fatigues me, and I also struggle with mood issues. I also want to say that it seems to help stabilize my response to low blood sugar, but that could be coincidental. Regardless, I love this product, and I want to take it forever.

Builds red blood cells. I have been taking this product during my 12 week chemo treatments and I'm doing well with my lab results. Since then, I recommend this to the fullest. I have 4 more treatments to go and will continue to take it.
Thank you Herbs Etc for quality products that are essential to our health.

Gladly, I have a concern if my bottle cloroxyen says: Best if sold by March 13, means 2016 to this date, and not be consumed? Thank you, I'm looking forward for your answer.
Reply: Assuming that the bottle/box says "Best if sold by March 13, 2016, then the product is guaranteed until that date. The product may be used until that date. We recommend that the product be discarded after that date.
Herbally yours, Daniel Gagnon

I am thankful to have found this product online. Watching Canadian geese feed with their 6 babies I decided I needed more greens. What was in greens that my body was missing? Chlorophyl... ChlorOxygen was the answer for me. I received relief from this product within moments after taking it. I feel so much better. My lungs instantly welcomed this great product. I only take 5 drops a day and was surprised I did not need more. I have since ordered 2 other products to take to help my issues.

I feel so much better....more energy since I started taking these Chloroxygen gels! I was doubtful until someone else told me that she felt so much better, so I gave them a try...THIS STUFF WORKS!
Posted by A. Perkins from Atlanta, GA. on 26th Nov 2015
I think I have found the holy grail of health products when I happened upon ChlorOxygen. I have battled with anemia all of my life and when I chose a vegetarian lifestyle I noticed that I would still sometimes battle fatigue. Since taking ChlorOxygen with my daily vitamins, I have gained a tremendous amount of energy. I feel refreshed and energized...a whole new lease on life.
Posted by Ray Williams on 26th Nov 2015
I have had sever allergies all my life. I have taken all the medicines available and every treatment you can imagine with little or no relief. I added ChlorOxygen to my daily supplements in January of 2010 and have been symptom through one of the worst allergy season we have seen nation wide in many years. I strongly recommend this product to allergy sufferers like myself.

Warner Brothers' The Iron Giant certainly aims to press similar buttons. It tells the story of Hogarth, a sensitive, fatherless American boy whose instinct to attack a huge, rampaging metal object does a 180-degree turn when he realises that the creature is in pain. The titular giant, trapped in a mess of spaghetti-hoop-like pylons, actually looks as if he's being crucified, making Hogarth's act of goodwill (he switches off the current) appear extra pious. And the pair's subsequent friendship, which includes Hogarth teaching the giant - all moon-white eyes and endearingly rigid mouth - how to talk, is a hymn to soft, nuzzly feelings.
So you may be surprised to learn that this cartoon is based on Ted Hughes's The Iron Man. The poet's 1968 story does have a little boy called Hogarth, and a mysterious Iron Man, but the kid doesn't teach the Iron Man anything and their relationship soon peters out. Hughes not only denies youngsters the urge to play parent, but the usual identification point. No such challenge here. Also missing is the tongue-prickling poetry - those vivid descriptions of the Iron Man's dinners ("the Iron Man chewed thoughtfully at this favourite titbit, a juicy, spicy old gas-stove") that make you want to try licking a chunk of metal yourself. The Iron Giant enjoys his food, but he's no gourmand.
What the film does have is something special all of its own - a take on Fifties America that is quite dazzlingly sophisticated. The film's director and writer, Brad Bird (who cut his teeth on The Simpsons and King of the Hill), has chosen to down-date Hughes's story, setting it in 1957 Maine, and in an aptly named town called Rockwell (after Norman) where the prevailing concerns of the community are Reds overtaking them in the space race and/or creeping under any beds. Their views are represented by Kent Mansley, a hawkish government agent. As he informs Hogarth darkly: "There's a foreign satellite orbiting the earth and all that that implies."
Someone else in Rockwell is obsessed with outsiders, but in this case because he thinks he is one. Dean (as in Moriarty) is a hip cat; he has posters of Kerouac on his wall, a yin-yang globe on his bathrobe and a habit of saying things like: "we kooks have got to stay together!" Cartoons don't normally dabble in "trendy" characters, so Dean - neurotic, witty and Elvis Presley-handsome - is something of a revelation. Cartoonist Robert Crumb admitted he had a crush on Bugs Bunny, but this is the first animated figure I've ever fancied. By day, Dean (voiced by Harry Connick Jr) runs a scrap-iron yard, which is how Hogarth and the Iron Giant come to befriend him. At night he turns the scrap into sculptures. "It's funny," he muses, more to himself than Hogarth, "people will pay money for scrap iron, but once I turn it into art I can't give it away."
That Kent and Dean are Hogarth's two polar-opposite "father" figures is clear. Hogarth, however, proves more complex. One-part Bart Simpson (he shares Bart's love of MAD comics), two-parts Lisa, Hogarth is a latch- key kid, forced to bring himself up while his mother (Jennifer Aniston) works in the local diner. He is thus able to live on a diet of tooth-rotting Twinkies, B-movies and comics, and this is where Bird's influence - his mini-thesis on trash culture and the imagination - makes itself felt.
We assume that with the arrival of the Iron Giant these sort of junk- culture pleasures will quickly make way for more organic, innocent ones. But no. Hogarth's dreams and chatter are endlessly informed by comics or TV. When he and Iron Giant are flying through the sky, he encourages the giant to put his arm out - "try doing it like Superman". And it's catching - the Iron Giant himself decides that he wants to be Superman.
That's how kids work. In the same way, Hogarth's vocabulary changes almost as soon as he meets Dean. "Don't wig out," he tells the giant, adopting the lingo of his beatnik pal. Even his big, tear-jerking final message to the metal man - "you are what you choose to be" - is an arty-farty line he's picked up from Dean. One accusation constantly levelled against millennium culture is that it has no new ideas. Bird makes a virtue of this, pointing up the basic human need to copy.
This puts Dean in a whole new light. He is desperate to be seen as different. Through his "art" he wants to transcend trash (literally and metaphorically). At one point, the Iron Giant accidentally chews a piece of Dean's work, then delicately (and most apologetically) tries to bend it back to its original state. As it happens, this attempt to "go backwards" creates a new, far more interesting shape. "It's good!" exclaims an astonished Dean, having finally got it.
The film itself is testament to what can be achieved by gobbling up everything from the past. Offering acupuncture for the eyes, it's full of the pinks, oranges and super-sharp angles familiar from Ren & Stimpy cartoons, as well as source material such as the credits for TV's Bewitched or the background paintings created by Warner Brothers artists such as Maurice Noble and Philip De Guard. Bigger names have also been embroiled. At night, Dean's turquoise warehouse has three glowing, gold rectangles where the door and windows should be. Just as in Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, colours themselves are endowed with feeling. The action sequences in the Maine forest work, too. When the Iron Giant jumps into a lake, causing jubilant- green waves to send the world rushing backwards, we could be back in the overwhelming, heart-stopping world of Bambi or Snow White.
Of course, Bird doesn't get everything right, especially towards the end when the Iron Giant is finally cornered by Kent and the US army. Where Ted Hughes' anti-war message was subtle, this young man positively beats us around the head with the idea that killing is bad.
What's gone before, however, isn't so easily erased. One particular exchange sticks in the mind. The Iron Giant, flipping through Hogarth's comics, espies a cartoon called Atomo. "Oh, he's a metal menace," says Hogarth blithely. "He's not like you, you're a good guy." A few scenes later though, much to the giant's horror, Hogarth addresses him as "Atomo" - for the purposes of a game, you understand.
That kids are amoral little creatures - effortlessly switching between compassion and cruelty - is one of many "truths" you can take away from this film. The Iron Giant can do happy and shiny, but it's also got a sharp and rusty edge.

Michelangelo's Christian Mysticism
Full Product Description
In this book, Sarah Rolfe Prodan examines the spiritual poetry of Michelangelo in light of three contexts: the Catholic Reformation movement, Renaissance Augustinianism, and the tradition of Italian religious devotion. Prodan combines a literary, historical, and biographical approach to analyze the mystical constructs and conceits in Michelangelo's poems, thereby deepening our understanding of the artist's spiritual life in the context of Catholic Reform in the mid-sixteenth century. Prodan also demonstrates how Michelangelo's poetry is part of an Augustinian tradition that emphasizes mystical and moral evolution of the self. Examining such elements of early modern devotion as prayer, lauda singing, and the contemplation of religious images, Prodan provides a unique perspective on the subtleties of Michelangelo's approach to life and to art. Throughout, Prodan argues that Michelangelo's art can be more deeply understood when considered together with his poetry, which points to a spirituality that deeply informed all of his production.
Michelangelo's Christian Mysticism by Sarah Rolfe Prodan was published by Cambridge University Press in March 2016. The ISBN for Michelangelo's Christian Mysticism is 9781107619043.

Rodney Phillip Needham Green, social anthropologist: born 15 May 1923; surname changed by deed poll to Needham 1947; University Lecturer in Social Anthropology, Oxford University 1956-76, Professor of Social Anthropology 1976-90; Official Fellow, Merton College, Oxford 1971-75; Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford 1976-90; married 1947 Ruth Brysz (died 1989; two sons); died Oxford 4 December 2006.
Rodney Needham was one of the leading British social anthropologists of his broad generation. Together with Sir Edmund Leach and Mary Douglas, he brought structuralism across the Channel and anglicised it in the process. A prolific scholar, he was also a particularly inspiring teacher and an indefatigable rediscoverer of neglected figures in the history of his discipline.
In the early 1950s, the structural-functionalist approach which had made British anthropology a world leader was beginning to languish from its rigorous but over-extended empiricism. By chance, Needham spotted a copy of Claude Lévi-Strauss's Les Structures élémentaires de la Parenté (1949) in Blackwell's the week before he went on fieldwork to Borneo. Primed by his knowledge of Dutch structural anthropology, he quickly realised its significance and its concern with conceptual structure over social organisation.
Structuralism thus provided him with a radically new interpretation of kinship systems, the bedrock of social structure in small-scale societies. Back in Oxford, he industriously put this approach into practice in a series of brilliant papers in which he emphasised the importance of alliance, through marriage, over that of descent, through lineages. Never scared of fomenting lively debate, his first great work, Structure and Sentiment (1962), demonstrated devastatingly the power of structuralist approaches over psychological ones.
But in 1969 Lévi-Strauss somewhat unfairly attacked Needham's interpretation of his work in the preface to the English edition of his kinship work, which Needham as his leading British disciple had so carefully had translated, as The Elementary Structures of Kinship. From then on, Needham ploughed his own structuralist path producing central work on systems of classification, cognitive universals, indigenous psychologies, and kinship theory. He would only refer to Lévi-Strauss in a critical vein, cutting through his rhetorical excesses and moulding structuralism into a more exact practice. At one point he even suggested that Lévi-Strauss, who in wartime New York had participated in André Breton's circle, be regarded not as the famed exponent of structuralism, but as "the greatest Surrealist of them all".
In the 1960s structuralist anthropology promised a new vision of the world. Its potential import lay far beyond the confines of its original discipline, and Needham was one of its key protagonists on a global stage. In this ambience of charged enthusiasm and impassioned debate about " fundamental structures of the human mind", Needham inspired generations of students who recognise him as the single greatest academic influence in their lives. By turns supportive, uncompromising, sympathetic, sceptical, he remains for them an exemplar of dedicated scholarship.
Needham also translated and edited the books of a series of anthropologist predecessors (Arnold van Gennep, Robert Hertz, A.M. Hocart, among others), whose work, though overlooked, was still highly relevant, when appropriately interpreted. But many of these re-editions did not sell. Needham's research students privately admitted that they only bought copies in order to read his lengthy introductions.
The essays of his last books, Against the Tranquillity of Axioms (1983), Exemplars (1985), Counterpoints (1987), are models of elegant scepticism and serve as powerful cautionary tales for anthropology undergraduates. In this methodical revision of his past position, he was mirroring two of his heroes, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, both of whom spent the second half of their lives critically examining the theories they had promoted in the first half.
Born in Kent in 1923, Needham spent his last year of schooling at Haileybury before being commissioned into the 1st Gurkha Rifles in 1942. A brave soldier and an excellent officer, he always took an enormous interest in the men under his command, with whom he learnt to converse in Gurkhali. At a meal in an Indian restaurant in 2001, he astonished us by spontaneously singing two Gurkha songs, and in good voice.
At the battle of Kohima in 1944 in the Burma campaign, he and his platoon, armed the day before with flame- throwers, moved up to attack a Japanese bunker. But Needham could not light his thrower. Badly exposed before the enemy guns, he was wounded, and only saved by the action of one of his men, at very great risk to himself. In later life he achieved reconciliation with Japanese veterans of Kohima, several of whom paid him visits in Oxford, some repeatedly.
After the war, he went up to Merton College, Oxford for postgraduate studies in Social Anthropology, following two years at Soas in London. While his Gurkha war-experience was central to his life, Needham was above all a self-made Oxford man who revelled in both its great traditions and its petty ceremonies. As he was quite prepared to admit, he lived a dream of Oxford, which he helped perpetuate and which many of his students, especially from overseas, were happy to participate in.
A lover of classical music and painting, Needham was enchanted by form and was more interested in elucidating the models underlying the nitty-gritty of daily life than their political manipulation. He wished to produce a logically grounded anthropology, and he frequently lamented how impoverished anthropology seemed compared to theoretical physics.
Uninterested in the analysis of power, he acknowledged he was not the most skilled at deploying it. In 1972 he was not chosen to succeed his mentor Sir Edward Evans-Pritchard in the Oxford chair. When he was finally awarded the position in 1976, some colleagues found him over-eager to revitalise the Oxford department. When senior members of the university questioned his judgement, Needham moved all his library to his college rooms. He never returned to the department.
Needham was enamoured of the United States, to which he was frequently invited as a visiting professor. In middle age, he would often speak of his desire to abandon academia to run a ranch in Montana. After his retirement in 1990, he enjoyed repeated visits to his beloved New Mexico and Arizona.
He cherished friendship and assiduously kept up a voluminous correspondence. In his last week, he refused to enter a hospice as he did not wish to lose contact with his friends.

... out everything about the area. Well done Neville - despite your technical problems you delivered a very interesting, insightful presentation. It's now Sunday and we drove to Cumbria to see my Cousin Laura and Family. An interesting tour of the region by Dominic and a delightful pub lunch. My "tourist" highlight was going to Alnwich Castle (Northumberland). Harry Potter movie 1 and 2 were partly filmed here. What an outstanding ...
Take car on holiday, take trouble
... ago.
But it's all an experience, doing car repairs en fran�ais. I'm amazed really, that at half past four on a Friday afternoon a) anyone is up for doing any work, and b) they can whip the wheel off, and the tyre, and fix a puncture, all within about 15 minutes.
Looping around Bourg
... tons of equipment and explosives to the French Resistance in these hills.
Finally we head back to the campsite at Bourg. It is still blowing a gale but so far the rain has held off.
Time for food. We walk through the woods from the campsite, cross the fast flowing river on a a creaky footbridge, and emerge in the town.
We find a restaurant that is advertising Fish and ...
The Kitchen !
One of the most difficult issues moving to another country is re-establishing the kitchen. We were lucky to pre-arrange our furnished apartment well before we left NZ, so it had the rudimentaries of kitchen ware when we arrived. A decent shopping expedition to Ikea in Geneva resolved most of the remaining implements issues, and real cooking soon commenced in earnestAnyone who saw our kitchen in Auckland will know that a lot of thought and effort ...
Food Markets!
... my pronunciation, and are always happy to help.Our local supermarket is very handy (five minutes' walk) but sadly lacking in variety and panache. The floor tiles are cracked, parts of it need a bloody good clean and the place is often in disarray, yet somehow it remains well supported by the local clientele. The head check-out Lady (who I suspect is the owner) rules the roost with stern authority and seldom seems happy. Yet after 10 weeks we have ...
