Since Newport is missing needed fertility to make hemp for linen, you will need to expand your islands at the 1500 vassal level, so in order to do that you will need a small discovery ship with a sailor as the captain. It is in your best interests to do that as soon as it becomes available to you.
Since the most common island sequence seems to be "Newport, Hemp, Herb, Wheat, Grape, Beeswax" it makes sense that you should be looking for a hemp island and the vast majority of players take this approach since linen increases the income from vassals as soon as you begin supplying it to Newport which is done by transporting.
The next island you will need is herb to make beer for Merchants 250. To discover this island you need small discovery ship with capable sailor. The regular sailor cannot find an herb island or medium islands. To see all the island icons and what the different sailors find, view island types in ultrafine.de so you can figure out what size the island you just discovered is in Island Overview. There are more details in that section of ultrafine that cover the numbers and features of islands in greater depth.
The next island is usually wheat and to do that you really need to acquire the ruby island slot in the upper left of Island Overview. Normally you can gain enough rubies through levelling up and other event rewards to get that one or you can get the necessary rubies in the anno homepage shop by clicking on the ruby icon in the upper left of the game screen next to the quest book.
At this point in the game, you are likely running low on space on Newport and moving the wheat production to another island that has wheat fertility is your only option really. If you have medium sized herb or hemp, you undoubtedly have been switching out goat and sheep farms since they are not fertility items.
Grape and Beeswax can only be found by the experienced sailor in a discovery ship. At this point, it is worth noting that the actual ship size of a discovery ship is irrelevant unless you are extremely impatient and want the extra slots for sails. What the discovery ship finds is totally dependent on the captain type so a small ship captained with the appropriate sailor is the least costly way to go.
What is most important to understand is that the deposit make up of all islands combined is what really matters. Island hunting is really all about luck and you cannot wait for the "perfect" island since they do not exist. For example, large islands do not have stone or iron deposits. So when you find a new island, examine the deposits in Island Overview by clicking on the mining cart and then the newly discovered island and decide how they will work with your upcoming needs. Lots of gold deposits are only useful when you have achieved 4000 Imperials since you can do nothing with them until then, for example, so current and near future needs are more important in that decision.
So you may have to learn how to be creative in your trading to make up for shortfalls in the perfect mix of deposits and islands which changes as your grow your population.
There are other approaches to island selection and that is more about how much you can work with trade and how willing you are to acquire ruby island slots. Some players will abandon the hemp island and replace it before getting to Imperials 500 and replace it with wheat. They then buy linen in trade as their exclusive method of supplying that material.
You could also forego a grape island later and not get the benefit of wine for your Imperials or do the same with Beeswax and forego candlesticks for the time being. You can still ascend population by buying the necessary materials on the trade market and pay whatever is being asked at the time.
In Island Hunting, you never really know what you are going to find in the next discovery run, so it is probably best to colonize what you need next no matter what the size and get familiar with how to abandon an island and then replace it with a better one.

Chicken 65 is a "quick to make" starter with many interesting stories behind its origin. The 65 at the end of the name has many explanations. Some claim that this chicken dish is named after 1965 – the year it first appeared on Buhari's menu. This trivia even features in some of the famous quiz programmes!
Today, I thought of making this dish for lunch as it had been a long time since I made this at home. I did not make this dish for a long time as we happened to go out for dinners frequently and whenever we went out, we used to consume a lot of fried foods. So I have avoided even frying appalam | vadam at home. Otherwise, I feel it is always better to prepare the fried items at home once in a while because the home-made dishes will be healthier since we use our regular masalas and not adding any harmful ingredients like food colour, ajinomotto, etc. So, I made this for 2 reasons, one for blog post and other, my son. He is a fan of Gobi 65 as well as Chicken 65 and hence he thanked the blog!
Here we go for the recipe of making Chicken 65 starter at home.
- Boneless chicken – 1/2 Kg.
- All purpose flour (Maida) – 4 tbsp
- Corn flour – 3 tbsp
- Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
- Red chilli powder – 1 tbsp
- Pepper powder – ½ tsp
- Garam masala powder or chicken masala powder – ½ tsp
- Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
- Thick curd – 2 tbsp
- Salt to taste
- Oil for frying
- Wash chicken in running water and cube it into desired size. Squeeze out the water completely from the chicken pieces and keep it aside.
- Take a large bowl, mix all the above ingredients given above except oil. To this add chicken pieces and mix everything well. Mix until all the chicken pieces get coated with the marinade. Allow to stand for about 30 minutes.
- Heat a deep bottomed kadai, pour required oil for deep frying. When oil is heated, take out the marinated chicken pieces and spread one by one in the oil.
- Cook in medium flame, after some time when you find the bottom layer got cooked, turn to other side and cook until done on all sides.
- Continue the process for rest of the batch.
Your hot, spicy, juicy Chicken 65 is ready to serve. It can be served as a starter or as a side dish for rice, pulao or rotis.
- I didn't add any food colour in this recipe but in restaurants, they do. I got the colour as shown in the pic, so I feel that there is no need to add any colour.
- I feel the chicken breast suits the best for the recipe. You can also use chicken with bone.
- Don't add water before adding the chicken pieces to the marinade because chicken will also leave out some water. Decide whether to sprinkle some water after mixing everything.

The site is located at 1305 N. Center St. The city had given Holm a Dec. 12 deadline to clean up the site. Holm said the site should be cleared by today. Holm said he plans to leave the surrounding trees and shrubbery and in the spring, he said he plans to plant grass on the site. Plymouth Building Commissioner Dennis Emmons said this will bring Holm into compliance and said he was glad to have the work done.

I started this quilt at a retreat with Susan Smith (of Patchwork On Stonleigh) about 2 1/2 years ago. It was one of the first projects I did that was scrappy - prior to this they were all your '5 matching fabrics' variety. This one made me step outside my comfort zone a bit, and started my love of scrappy quilts. I've done it as a quilt-as-you-go. There's still a pieced border to go around the outside, but it's starting to come together nicely.
There's a bit of embroidery, some applique and a few other goodies on here. On this plain block I've appliqued a little crocheted basket that I inherited (in a cabinet full of doileys) from my Nan. I didn't know what to do with it, but I knew I wanted to use it on something - and this ended up being the perfect project for it. As with all Nan's doileys, it was starched to within an inch of its life, but it sits well on the quilt.
I've used many shades of raspberry, with a little pink and green thrown in for good measure. The green stands out a bit in the photo, but I think once the border goes on it should all tie in nicely. There's not too much left to do on this one, so it just may get finished sometime soon!

Hi Sue
The Dishcloth quilt was the first venture into Patchwork and Quilting. I left it back in Albury when I moved upto Brissy.
I just miss Christine and Susan lots and Patchwork on Stonleigh was one of my regular haunts.
Love the cake by the way.

Walking the Line of Reflection
The toxic world of Stezz is deadly to any who stay too long on its surface. The oceans are poisonous, and the rain is acidic. Thankfully, the patterns are predictable, and it's easy to know when and when not to leave the domed cities. Inhabitants of the planet live in cave systems, emerging during the 'dry time' to hunt for the extremely dangerous creatures native to Stezz. The toxins here are potent, and when mixed properly, nearly untraceable, making it highly valuable on the black market.

Despite releasing a crazily ridiculous movie at the end of 2012, Robert Pattinson has been having a rough couple of months. The guy was cheated on, then he was the bigger person and because of his overwhelming love for girlfriend Kristen Stewart, they reunited. Not there's all this buzz about whether he and Kristen have called it quits yet again. Allegedly, Rob told Kristen he needs some space and wants to cool things off. Rob and Kristen donezo?! Can it really be??
The really sad part? There are reports of him walking around completely disheveled while filming in Australia. You know, "wearing all black," looking miserable, that kind of stuff. This is what I have to say to that: OF COURSE HE IS. Man, people. If Rob and Kristen are really having serious issues and they're over, then heck, if I was him I'd be a total mess too.
Take it easy on him, eh?
No matter who puts a stop to a relationship and ends things, breaking up is hard for all parties involved. You've invested your time and so much of yourself into a relationship, which takes a lot of work and a lot of heart. Your whole routine changes, your day-to-day isn't the same, and your new style of life involves a whole lot of adjusting. You know what though? Everyone goes through it now and again.
I can't imagine what it's got to be like for Rob. After finding it within himself to get over the whole cheating scandal, maybe now he's realizing that he's not really past it. Maybe, like he said, he really just needs some space to breathe for a while. After hearing Rob and Kristen coo over each other time and time again, though, something tells me that if they're taking some time apart, there's no way this duo is actually done for good.
Do you think Rob and Kristen are over? Or is this all hype?

Have you ever given the wrong insulin dose?
Yes, more than once
Yes, just once
I'm not sure
Total votes: 523
Have you ever given the wrong insulin dose?Poll dates: December 2 - December 8, 2002
Total Votes: 523
Two-thirds (66%) of respondents report giving the wrong insulin dose at least once. 40% report giving the wrong insulin dose more than once. Given that giving the wrong insulin dose is common, you should know what to do in case it happens to you.
If you give too little insulin, such as giving an evening dose in the morning, you can give additional insulin to make up the difference.
If you give too much insulin, such as giving a morning dose in the evening, don't panic. Determine how much extra insulin you've given and, based on that, determine how much extra food you need to eat to cover it. If you need help figuring that out, call your Diabetes Team. We've heard of parents making ice cream sundaes for kids who've been given the wrong dose. You can use the accident to enjoy a treat you don't have very often.
Be sure to test your blood sugar often until the extra dose will have worn off. For parents, this usually means a sleepless night, but as long as you're testing and eating to cover the extra insulin, you or your child will make it through.

I think it is kind of funny that with all the different religions and their different beliefs, they all believe in tithing. Religious groups will pick apart pretty much any doctrine or belief but THEY ALL believe in tithing. This brings me to the Question of the Day:
For those who may not be familiar with the concept of tithing, a "tithe" is ten percent of your income. A person who gives five percent of their income to their church isn't tithing because they aren't giving ten percent. The purpose of the tithe is to support the functions of the local church as well as provide a living for the church staff.
My wife and I tithe. However, we don't tithe it all to our local church. We direct some of our tithe outside our local church to three different Christian organizations. I'm curious as to what my readers' opinions are regarding tithing. Please send me your comments.

Porsche 961
O Porsche 959 de rua deu origem à versões de competição, entre elas o modelo 961 que chegou em 7° lugar nas 24h de Le Mans de 1986, pilotado por René Metge e Claude Ballot-Léna. Kit muito simples da Tamiya, escala 1/24. Among the cars on the starting grid of the 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans was a monumental machine entered by the Porsche factory team. This car, clad in a white livery and featuring the number 180, was the Porsche 961 and it represented Porsche's strive for the latest automotive technologies. The 961 was an evolved racing version of the Porsche 959 sports car, which debuted at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show. The 959 was a technological pioneer and featured advanced mechanisms including and innovative computer-controlled full-time four wheel-drive system and these features were also installed onto the 961. In january 1986, the rally version of the 959 won the grueling Paris-Dakar Rally and the 961 was intended to achieve similar success on-road at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. The 961 was fitted with the same 2,847cc four-valve DOHC flat-six engine as the works team's Porsche 962C in the Group C category. Incorporating liquid-cooled cylinder heads, two efficient turbochargers, and large intercoolers, the engine produced a monstrous 680 horsepower which was distributed to the front and rear wheels via the computer-controlled torque splitter system. With that year's Paris-Dakar Rally winner René metge and his teammate Claude Ballot-Léna at the wheel, the 961 recorded a top speed of 330km/h on the Mulsanne Straight on its way to an overall seventh place finish, placing it amongst the Group C pure racers. The 961 not only drew attention for its outstanding performance, it also stimulated the start of a new automotive era. Tamiya's kit, 1/24th scale.

#Google went the unexpected way with the new #Pixel phones. Trusting #HTC with the hardware was not exactly a gamble given that the company is synonymous with quality and high-end products. It seems like the company's decision has come in handy as the folks at iFixit have given the Google Pixel a decent score in terms of repairability. The Pixel has received the best repairability score that any HTC phone has received, which is commendable.
The fact that previous HTC phones haven't received good repair scores is mainly due to the fact that the company used tightly knit hardware which consisted of a metal unibody exterior. While HTC hasn't compromised with the quality aspect of the Pixel, it has certainly done its research with regards to repairability. It's important to note here that the phone is by no means the best in terms of repairability. With a score of just 6/10, iFixit notes that there could have plenty of improvements.
The experts note that the front panel is incredibly hard to remove due to being so closely wound together. Another interesting observation made here is that the speaker grill is made of cloth. So we suggest you don't try to repair the Pixel yourself. You can find the complete details from iFixit's page below.

Depression, anxiety and mental illness are experiences that are often times difficult to put into words. That's when different mediums can aid with such explanations.
Photographer Joel Robison uses his conceptual photography in an attempt to better understand himself and his journey coping with anxiety. But his work is not for his own personal enlightenment. His images speak to a larger account, that millions can relate to. In an effort to explore these common realities, he plays with objects and sizes to create a world that exists in the mind of a person with mental illness. Robison beautifully creates images that speak to the human experience and how it affects an individual.

When I had the privilege of addressing the GA last year, I asked three questions: Why does Judaism matter? Why does Israel matter? And why does treating one another with civility matter?
I was sharing my perspective on what I considered the most important issues affecting our community and affecting the work of our Federations.
I still believe these questions about Judaism, Israel and civility are the right questions that we should all be asking ourselves each and every day. And I believe the answer to these questions is: Yes, it all matters, and it matters more than ever.
And at the heart of that answer — as at the heart of everything we do — are the values of our tradition, reflected in our Torah: what is hateful to you, do not do to another; and use your time and your talents to repair a broken world as we help to finish the work that HaShem began.
Each of our communities has its own characteristics — but our mission really is the same.
And no part of our work is more important than connecting with young people — helping them discover why their tradition should matter to them. We have all seen the statistics on assimilation. But statistics do not tell us what we have learned from Birthright, PJ Library, Moishe House, Masa, Entwine and programs developed by Federations that successfully connect young adults to their Judaism.
These programs prove that assimilation is not the result of young people not caring. It is the result of their not knowing what Judaism is and how it can make their lives more meaningful.
It is our responsibility to reach out to them. If we inform them about their tradition, we actually find that they do care. We first need to meet them where they are, listen to their concerns, understand their interests and embrace them as part of our community. And once they understand that Judaism matters, they will better appreciate why Israel matters.
I, like many of you, am a baby boomer. We grew up knowing that there were neighborhoods where Jews were not welcome, clubs that would not accept Jews as members.
That is rarely the case today. We are far more accepted in the United States than ever before, but we also can never forget that we are a very small and very vulnerable people.
My generation grew up with a very vulnerable Israel whose very existence was constantly threatened. We will never forget the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War.
And I will never forget my first trip to Israel, in 1964 with my parents. My father, an immigrant from Latvia, got off the plane, touched the ground and, with tears in his eyes, loudly, proudly recited the Shehecheyanu. You see, Israel was the eternal dream of my father and my ancestors. It was the eternal dream of your fathers and your ancestors for over 1,800 years. And now, that dream had come true.
Our children and grandchildren have experienced none of this. We need to teach them about the traditions that they come from.
The State of Israel is only 70 years old, but it is at the center of who we are. It is a remarkable country.
For its entire 70 years, it has been under siege. As strong as it is today, this tiny country has over 100,000 rockets aimed at its cities by Hamas and Hezbollah, courtesy of Iran, all of which have sworn to destroy Israel.
Notwithstanding all of this, Israel remains a vibrant democracy where women, members of the LGBTQ community and minorities have protected rights. Its technological and scientific advances are improving and saving lives throughout the world. And every day its young soldiers in the IDF [Israel Defense Forces] are putting their lives on the line to protect you and me.
Because of Israel, the Jewish people, in so many ways, are stronger and more secure than ever before.
Recently, the American Jewish community has found itself in a disagreement with Israel with respect to the Kotel, the Western Wall. In January 2016, after years of negotiations with the government of Israel — led by our dear friend and hero, Natan Sharansky — the government of Israel passed a resolution to create an improved egalitarian prayer space at the Kotel — to be constructed and governed with oversight by a committee that was to include representatives of the Reform and Conservative streams and the Women of the Wall.
Then, last June, as a result of pressure from the religious parties that form part of the government coalition, the government of Israel froze this resolution.
There will still be an improved egalitarian prayer space at the Kotel. But the resolution is not being implemented as agreed to.
Of course, we have different views. That has been a source of our strength.
This is an important issue to many in our community, and I commit to you that JFNA, as your representative, will continue to fight for the vision of an Israel where all Jews can feel at home, no matter what synagogue they choose to pray at.
At the same time, our support and love for the State of Israel requires us to never walk away or turn our back on her — or give up on our desire to see Israel truly become the country we want and need it to be. But that will only happen with understanding and respect for the miracle that Israel is.
Let's not forget that we are all descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah; Moses, Maimonides and Hillel; and Herzl, ben Gurion and Golda Meir.
Of course, we have different views. We always have. That has been a source of our strength. But we must respect that diversity and listen carefully to those different views as we unite around our values. Then we can continue to build the Jewish community our tradition demands, and stop delegitimizing and disrespecting those we disagree with, which only divides and destroys.
Kol yisrael arevim zeh-bazeh — all of Israel is responsible for one another.
Let each of us rethink why Judaism matters and why Israel matters as we together make today a new beginning and move our communities from where they are to where they ought to be.
Richard Sandler is chair of the board of trustees of the Jewish Federations of North America and past chair of the board of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.

The Steve and Kate Smith Community Trust
About Steve and Kate Smith The Smiths
Stephen Pitson Smith and Ada Kathleen Dodson Smith lived a quiet, unassuming life for many years after their retirements. Steve had been an owner in his family's machine manufacturing business, Powermatic Machine Company. Kate was a graduate of the old Tennessee College in Murfreesboro, and taught in the McMinnville schools prior to her marriage to Steve.
Since Steve and Kate did not have children, the couple decided to utilize their wealth to help children in their community who may not be as fortunate as they were.
In their estate planning, Steve and Kate established a trust designated as the Steve and Kate Smith Community Trust.
Establishing the Trust
Steve created the mission for the trust as part of his last will and testament, before his passing in 2012.
He stated that he wished "to enhance the quality of life of the children in Warren County, Tennessee." He believed this goal could be accomplished by supporting charitable organizations that "address the physical, mental, educational, artistic and spiritual needs of the children in our county."
He charged the Trustee, First National Bank of Middle Tennessee, with the responsibility of developing the procedures necessary to carry out the goals of the trust.
First National Bank of Middle Tennessee is honored to administer grants once a year to eligible non-profit organizations.

In considering grant applications, the Trustee abides by the mission Mr. and Mrs. Smith established for the trust: to enhance the quality of life of the children of Warren County, Tennessee, by addressing their physical, mental, educational, artistic and spiritual needs.
Special consideration is given to applications requesting matching funds.

Surely you've seen the animals who appear on the side lishaynyh bald spots.As well, each of us remembers that parents strictly forbidden to touch such a dog, and not exactly the same receding hairline will have ourselves on the body.Collectively the group can be called lishaёm dermatological conditions, which are characterized by rashes on the skin, peeling, pigmentation changes in the areas that are affected and itching.Most likely, it will deprive you after contact with an animal or a person who has contracted the disease.
Analyzing the other causes of the disease, can be identified allergic reactions, fungal infections, viral infections, or prolonged stress.Due to such conditions, as the statistics show, zoster in pregnancy occurs very frequently.If shingles during pregnancy is diagnosed in time and treated in a timely manner will be held, the risk for the mother and child are anticipated.But even so, zoster can manifest itself in different ways and is very contagious.However, it can be quite eas
Doctors distinguish several varieties of the disease:
pink zoster (shingles Gibert): it appears as a "mother" a spot in the shape of a circle and has a fairly crisp rim, able to peel off a little bit.After a while, there may be small oval pink spots on the chest, shoulders, sides, and their appearance is invariably accompanied by itching;
colorful versicolor (pityriasis) can manifest itself through spots on the skin, which, by their color varies between yellow and brown.Sunspots occur in areas where there is increased sweating, that is, in the armpits, on the abdomen or chest.These spots do not cause discomfort or itching;
ringworm: mainly, it exposed children, although in theory it is possible also infected adults.It manifested the disease in damage nails and hair on the head, resulting in a loss.In those places where the hair falls out, formed a pink spot, and in the center they are shelled.To cure the disease, it is necessary to isolate or hospitalize the patient;
shingles: the most false of all forms of the disease, accompanied by quite severe pain in intercostal depressions.There eventually formed bubbles which are filled with liquid.Subsequently, they burst, leaving a crust, and stains may be of different sizes or form pockets.Despite the fact that the disease is caused by herpes third type, it is not harmful to the fetus and pregnancy.However, the progression of the disease may be a risk of loss, and therefore the treatment should be initiated immediately on detection of the disease.
During pregnancy versicolor can be treated on the basis of that, what is its form and degree of development.First of all, the emphasis is on how to restore and strengthen the immune system, and if necessary, then apply antifungal or antiviral drugs that block the spread of viruses and fungi.For example, pityriasis rosea requires no special treatment, and passes through about 2 months.If a woman is worried enough severe itching, the pregnancy will register antihistamines.You also need to take care of that in the locker room was not tight clothing and avoid excessively frequent adoption of water treatments.With multi-colored shingles will need to appoint antifungal drugs, as well as using vinegar to wipe the skin that are damaged.Ringworm can also be cured using antifungal drugs.
According to traditional medicine, it is useful to lubricate the juice of onion damaged site or use for the same purpose oiled sour cabbage leaf.

Okay, so I might have made a teensy mistake with the Miracle Gro…I didn't know you weren't supposed to spray the leaves! I was completely distraught when all of my plants started withering away and I didn't know what to do! Grasping at straws I switched back to plain water, stuck them all back in their greenhouse and things are finally starting to look up! I was just able to transplant the parsley into bigger containers today because it's gotten too tall for the little greenhouse Yes, once again, I am SO proud! Seriously, would you look at that!
After putting everything back on its sunny windowsill Miss Lily started eyeballing it. I think she wanted to get back at me for spraying her with the water bottle when I had everything out on the table and she was nosing around in my dirt….What? She's not supposed to be on the table for starters and could you imagine the mess she'd make if she knocked any of it over?!? Not to mention the heartbreak I would feel at the loss of my plants….Sad, I know, I think I care more for the well-being of the plants than I do for the cat right now, lol. Look at this face! We were having a staring contest over by the windowsill garden, me with the spray bottle in my hand saying "Don't you even think about it" and her just giving me this look, lol.
If you have a cat and have ever started a garden indoors you know that look! Eventually she backed down and I gloated in my success
I really wish the weather would warm back up so I could let some of these babies outside but it's been too chilly for these fragile little plants. I will just have to vigilantly stand guard so Miss Lily won't get into them!
I hope no one else accidentally *almost* killed their garden! How are your plants doing? Is the garden greening up yet?

Hello everyone,
Today m gonna review a body lotion which claims to relieve the stress.. Sounds interesting right?? Stress is a part of everybody's life n so is mine.. M a great lover of invigorating fragrances like eucalyptus or tea tree or spearmint.. I got sold when I read stress relief lotion with eucalyptus !! So let's start with the review..
Price: 13$ for 192ml, 1000rs/- for 192 ml from jabong.com
Product claim:
Ultra-creamy, nourishing body lotion is formulated to give skin long-lasting moisture while an aromatherapy blend of natural ingredients and essential oils benefit body, mind & mood. Breath deeply for best results.
Eucalyptus essential oil clears the mind while Spearmint Essential Oil uplifts to help improve concentration.
Not tested on animals.
How to use:
Smooth over body to moisturize and lightly fragrance skin.
The product comes in a classy looking green glass bottle with a black screw pump up dispenser. It's easy to pump the required product but the glass bottle isn't travel friendly.. The bottle can break as it is made up of glass so isn't travel friendly.. All though I don't mind until it provides good service for what it is being used for..
As I love strong fragrances with refreshing fragrance this lotion made me happy with its first impression by its fragrance. The lotion isn't thick in consistency nor very watery .. It's perfect as a lotion in its consistency.
This starts out a bit strong with the eucalyptus but quickly tones down a bit. This leaves a fresh scent on my skin that last pretty long but fades to very subtle soft fragrance.
It's Fortified with powerful ingredients like super conditioning Shea Butter which gives good moisture to the skin ,fast absorbing Jojoba Oil which penetrates into the skin n heals the moisture n keeps skin hydrated for a long time and protective Vitamin E which has several benefits to it.
This body lotion gives your skin long-lasting moisture. It contains eucalyptus essential oil to clear the mind, while spearmint essential oil will soothe your senses. Eucalyptus essential oil clears the mind while Spearmint Essential Oil uplifts to help improve concentration. This is perfect for the students at the time of studies n also before you go to bed. I personally apply this lotion before m off to bed, it's soothing fragrance actually gives me a sound sleep n helps me to calm my senses.
When I bought this product I never thought it could do anything with the stress tag but it definitely kept its promise. It's a wonder product that does it works by providing long lasting moisture n also relieves the stress with its awesome fragrance.
It's not greasy either unlike many other body lotions. It dries up as soon as u spread it on your skin n leaves the soft moisture n a soothing scent.The fragrance stays all day long. And if you breathe in deeply, it truly relaxes the senses. It relaxes me and makes me feel fresh and clean. I also like the cooling sensation it gives my neck and hands. For me, this scent is for the nighttime.
Overall verdict:
Does what it claims. Perfect combination for a body lotion with long lasting hydration n fragrance. Unlike many other body lotions this lasts very long n if u always wanted a great smelling body lotion which gives moisture as well as fragrance , this one is for u.. N last but not the least, yes it truly relaxes your senses n makes u feel better.. Apply it while u study or before u sleep..
Cons: NONE!!!

Ganso is offically my go to ramen spot if I am ever in the Downtown Brooklyn area.
The must try from Ganso is the chicken wings , gyoza and the kimchi pork buns. No, seriously, get the kimchi buns.
The ramen itself is a hit or miss depending on how you usually like your ramen. But I usually go for their spicy miso.
Their rice dishes are also pretty good, I recommend the salmon teriyaki, because who doesn't like salmon?
Good news for Brooklynites though– No more will you have to go to Manhattan for a bowl of delicious ramen!

Some games that feature a princess include "Super Princess Peach," "Fat Princess" and "Long Live the Queen." The first two games are appropriate for younger children, but "Long Live the Queen" may be too complicated and violent for them.
"Super Princess Peach" stars the princess from "Super Mario Bros." in a platform game. It is available for the Nintendo DS.
"Fat Princess" is a series of strategy games where players must rescue an obese princess. The games are available for Sony consoles and handhelds as well as mobile devices.
"Long Live the Queen" is a time management game in which players must raise a princess to inherit rulership of a kingdom while protecting her from assassins and other dangers. It is available for PCs with Windows.

On Top Of Everything
Mj is also continuing her swimming lessons, from basic, we enrolled her to advance beginner where they would concentrate in back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly and free style with proper kick and the proper lifting of the arms. I thought to let her proceed the swimming lessons up to the scientific and the competitive but her schedule would be too tight this school days, aside from I added another subject for her Kumon tutorial, our house is too far away from where she is supposed to be on training. I know it would be a big opportunity since their team would go for international competition but I could not gamble her grades at school, of course her studies should be on top of everything.

THE OAKS' James Walker, joint halfway leader, placed fifth in the prestigious Lytham Trophy at Royal Lytham & St Annes GC.
He carded rounds of 74 66 79 73 to finish eight shots back of winner Alfie Plant, of Sundridge Park (67 73 74 70), who last year finished runner-up to Sheffield's Joe Dean in the English men's amateur championship at Alwoodley GC.
Yorkshire champion Jamie Bower, of Meltham GC, finished tied 18th at Royal Lytham (74 74 75 75).
Walker's hopes foundered on a poor beginning and finish in round three - dropping five shots in the first six holes and four in the last five.
But his top-five placing accentuates the fine form that has also seen him win the Selborne Salver this month and reach the Spanish amateur championship semi-finals in March.
Five Yorkshire players did not make the 36-hole cut.
Hull GC's Steve Robins (76 78) and recent Lindrick Scratch Open winner Ben Brewster (Wheatley GC) with 79 77.
Shipley GC's England A international Will Whiteoak shot 159 (80 79) and Rotherham GC's Jonathan Thomson 162 (76 86).
Dutch Junior Open champion Dan Brown (Bedale GC) was disqualified for signing for an incorrect score on the final hole of his second round.
Fulford GC's Charlie Thornton placed 13th with rounds of 75 76 74 76 in the Fairhaven Trophies event, in which Germany's Nick Bachem triumphed with a 287 aggregate.
Hallamshire GC's Barclay Brown (79 72 76 79) and Charlie Daughtrey, of Rotherham GC (72 78 75 81), tied 24th.

In our culture of categorization, there's no shortage of diagnoses offered to a myriad of situations. We've read about Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Pre-Menstrual Syndrome, Battered Women's Syndrome, and even Munchausen and Stockholm Syndromes. I'm here to drop science on a new one: Inadequate Women's Syndrome, or IWS for short. This bullshit has tried to claim me as a victim. I work. I mother. I drop off. I pick up. I purchase. I mail. I arrange. I tidy. I sort. I write. I laugh. I lie. I sign. I meet. I groom. I read. I report. I nurse. I fry, sear, simmer, scramble, stir, and strain. This all, generally before 6 p.m. I then move on to the demands of the evening: homework, laundry, the few friendships I've been able to maintain. And the events, causes, campaigns, and headlines that keep me connected to the world around me. This pool will never drain, people. Nor should it. There will always be more work, needs, tasks, terrors, surprises, and sales than one superwoman can handle. And our pasts, as well as our present, feed us the lie that we must complete the list, cook the dinner, host the party, aspire to the promotion, attend the mixer, read the story, master the smoky eye, and of course, either snag, keep, and/or please your partner.
Yes, really.
And the tragic part is we believe it. We believe it, we chase it, and we literally get sick over it. Every day replaces the last as the stuff you didn't get to. Each project is completed only to begin planning the next. You are dumping your energy in a bottomless well. The goal is never fulfilled. There's an ache, albeit dull and quite possibly tolerable, but something ain't right. These are the symptoms of IWS. Feelings of inadequacy robbing you of the ability to treasure, celebrate, and more importantly, sit your gorgeous ass down and soak up your swag.
In the words of MC Lyte: Naw, I'm not havin' it.
Here's a little diddy that is the double-edged sword of empowerment vs. self-imposed neuroses:
Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE Chaka. This is a classic female anthem. But we take it too damn far. I am SO not every woman. And it most definitely is NOT all in me.
To chip away at the stinky, smelly, stubborn, veil of inadequacy, I'm devoting the next month to strategies to overcome IWS. We will look to cause, character and community to fight back and re-claim the joy of our everyday lives. I solicit your engagement and your input. I don't claim expertise, but I do commit to passion and persistence.
My lovelies, as I alluded in Healing: Part 2, our best is the mutha f@c$in' bomb. However, our definition of best is where we get caught up in the game. The fault lines in our hearts become filled with the doubt and self-destructive goo that fuel the fire of inadequacy. I know so many women who are unconvinced of their successes. They almost chronically refuse to celebrate themselves.
Brown Betty ain't havin' it.
We are flippin' that shit. Finna do it on 'em.
Here are some teasers on inadequacy (and the havoc it wreaks) that run the gamut from funny to spiritual. Chew on 'em for a spell, and join me for a ride I hope will help you destroy IWS forever.

The Galaxy's new goalkeeper, Carlo Cudicini, said Thursday he's ready to help the team win its third consecutive Major League Soccer title.
"It's an honor to be here," the Italian veteran said after the team's practice at Home Depot Center. "What they did in the last two years was amazing."
Cudicini, 39, was acquired in late December from Tottenham Hotspur, a British team in the English Premier League where Cudicini largely had played in a reserve role.
"I wasn't that happy at Tottenham" and the prospect of being the regular goalkeeper with the Galaxy "was a major factor in coming to play for a very successful franchise," he said.

Lamar Community College and the Domestic Safety Resource Center (DSRC) will be hosting a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to be held on April 22, 2017, from 10 a.m.-12 noon.
As the old saying goes, "you can't really understand another's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes." This event invites men to literally walk a mile in women's shoes. While it is not easy walking in high-heeled shoes, this is a fun event that helps get the community talking about something that is difficult to address: gender relations and violence against women.
Men, women, and children are all welcome to participate.
The event will start on the LCC campus, on the lawn just south of the Betz Technology Center, and will be walking to the Lamar High School and back. A limited supply of women's shoes will be available in men's sizes for teams to borrow during the event and awards will be given for "Most Blisters," "Craziest Outfits," "Top Individual Pledges," "Top Team Pledges," and more.
Gender violence and sexual assault are concerns at any college campus, and Lamar Community College takes the responsibility to prevent these issues very seriously. This event is intended to help raise awareness for and prevention of gender violence and sexual assault.
"Statistically, one in every four or five women are victims of sexual assault while in college," said event organizer and LCC Human Resources Director Jenni Mortimeyer. "Lamar Community College takes its responsibility to prevent sexual assault and other forms of relationship violence on our campus very seriously. By partnering with the Domestic Safety Resource Center on this event, we hope to engage our students in the prevention conversation. It is our hope that they will be encouraged to stand up against gender violence here; as well as wherever they go in the future."
Participants will receive a t-shirt with their registration fee, which is $10 for adults and $5 for students with student ID. Registration is due by April 1 to guarantee a t-shirt.
All participants are encouraged to raise pledges to help benefit DSRC. While participants are not required to raise pledges, any fundraising done will directly benefit individuals in the area. Additionally, anyone who cannot make the event but would still like to help is encouraged to donate to the cause.
All funds raised at the event will benefit the Domestic Safety Resource Center to help them provide services to victims in the region.

Rape-accused doc flees while on way to police station
A 44-year-old doctor booked for rape escaped the police net in dramatic fashion when cops were escorting him to the Khar police station from his residence at Dadar Parsi Colony today.mumbai Updated: May 19, 2013 01:37 IST
A 44-year-old doctor booked for rape escaped the police net in dramatic fashion when cops were escorting him to the Khar police station from his residence at Dadar Parsi Colony on Saturday.
The 26-year-old victim, a resident of Ghatkopar, has alleged Dr Rustom Sonawala raped her when she visited him for tuberculosis treatment at his clinic at Carter Road, Bandra (West), at 6pm on Friday.
In her complaint, she has stated the doctor asked her husband, who works as a tailor at a workshop in Lower Parel, to sit outside while he checked her in his cabin.
"The doctor raped me in the cabin. I was scared to tell my husband about it, but informed him when we reached home, after which we lodged a complaint at the Khar police station," the victim said."
A case was registered at around 9.30pm on Friday. A medical test to confirm rape was conducted on the victim, the result of which is awaited.
After completing formalities, an officer and a constable went to arrest the accused at his Dadar residence at around 10am on Saturday.
Sonawala requested that he reach the police station in his car along with two women from his family, who the police suspect are his sisters.
The officer agreed and sat in the car with them, while the constable followed them in a cab.
When the vehicle reached Dadar TT, Sonawala slowed the vehicle down, opened the door and pretended to get out, the police said.
"Assuming that he was trying to escape, my officer got off the car to catch him, but the moment he did, Sonawala turned on the central lock and fled," said senior police inspector Mangesh Pote from the Khar police station.
The victim has alleged the police helped Sonawala flee, and took a bribe for it, which the police have denied. "The allegation of taking a bribe is false. We allowed him to travel in his car keeping his reputation as a doctor in mind. Our officer was sitting with him," Pote said.
The police have now launched a manhunt to catch the accused. "He will be arrested soon, but we have to verify the claims of the victim too," Pote said.
The women accompanying Sonawala are also untraceable, and two elderly women are the only other residents in his flat, police said, adding that they suspect the doctor is not married.
Additional commissioner of police Vishwas Nangre-Patil said, "We are conducting a probe into the incident."

After finding the quarterback they wanted last year in the NFL draft, it seems the Tennessee Titans are focused on improving the offensive line, via free agency and probably with their first round draft pick too. More
When the first pick of the 2014 NBA draft is announced, it'll be the 30th time in the lottery era that a team has taken a chance on someone through the magic of ping pong balls. It makes for a good chance to review which number one picks have done a great service through their NBA careers, from the likes of Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James, to others who have been less successful like Pervis Ellison, Michael Olowokandi and Anthony Bennett. More
A year ago it was quite clear who would be the number one overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft: Andrew Wiggins. The college basketball season changed that, giving Joel Embiid and even Jabari Parker an edge. But the injury to the former Kansas big man once again shuffled the deck of cards, making the identity of the next number 1 draft pick, a selection the Cleveland Cavaliers hold at the moment, something of an unknown. More
Some teams don't want to make the most of the luck they had, or simply don't see the draft as the best way to improve. The Cleveland Cavaliers get to pick at number one in the NBA draft for the second time in three years, but the prospect of Nerlens Noel or Otto Porter isn't that charming, preferring to make a deal with a team for a forward who can put up points, with Luol Deng (Chicago Bulls), Zach Randolph (Memphis Grizzlies), Thaddeus Young (Philadelphia 76ers) and Ersan Ilyasova (Milwaukee Bucks) coming to mind. More
Every time the NBA draft comes up, people bring out two lists – Draft Steals and Draft Busts. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that players like LeBron James or Tim Duncan were actually number one picks, and sometimes, the teams that pick at the top spot actually get what they asked for. More
The Indianapolis Colts have a difficult decision to make, involving business with emotion, which is never good, but the option they should take is clear – Andrew Luck from Stanford as their next (hopeful) franchise quarterback, and let Peyton Manning find his second Super Bowl ring somewhere else.

1 . From what has been said thus far against the views above, -- and after as it were, a process of elimination 2 -- it seems that every singular substance « is singular in itself, that is, by its entity» 3 [and] needs no other principle of individuation in addition to its entity, or in addition to the intrinsic principles which constitute its entity. For, if such a substance, physically considered, is simple, it is individual from itself and from its simple entity. If, however, it is a composite, -- for example, of matter and form united, -- [then], just as the principles of its entity are matter, form, and their union, so [likewise] these same [principles], taken in the individual, are the principles of its individuation. Those [i.e. simple substances], however, since they are simple, will be individual in themselves.
Aureolus held this view with Capreolus, On II [of the Sentences], dist. 3, q.2;4 and, in fact, Durandus holds the same [view], On II [of the Sentences], dist. 3, q.2.5 Fonseca, however, referring to it, [ Commentary on the] Metaphysics V, Ch. 6, q.3, says in sect. 2, that it is the most confused of all, and, reduced to its true sense, leaves the question unsolved.6 Nevertheless, it seems to me [to be] the clearest of all, and both he and almost everyone else seem to end up in it, because, in fact, the foundation of unity cannot be distinguished from the entity itself. Hence, just as the individual unity as formal cannot add anything positive [and] real to the individual entity, because, with respect to this, its notion and [the notion] of every unity are the same, so [too] the positive foundation of this unity, with respect to the negation it expresses, can add nothing positive, physi-

DMA Newsdesk Jaipur,17 January 2014
"FICCI Workshop on ATA Carnet – Your Visa for temporary export/import of goods between International borders"-ORGANISED BY FICCI Inaugural address by Mr. Pawan Kumar Jain, Commissioner of Customs, Jaipur.
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in association with FIEO & GJEPC (Rajasthan Region) organised a workshop on ATA Carnet "Your visa for temporary export/ import of goods between international borders" to highlightits its uses and interact with the local export community to educate them about the benefits of using this facility. The Inaugural address was given by Mr. Pawan Kumar Jain, Commissioner of Customs, Jaipur.
ATA Carnet is a temporary admission document which simplifies the customs procedures and clearances in a foreign country, without paying duty or a bank guarantee for temporary import into that country. Like a passport for goods, ATA Carnet allows for the goods for which it was issued to enter any of the participating countries for up to one year. An ATA Carnet holder can avoid customs declaration and can do away with security deposit or guarantees in the country of importation. In India, FICCI is the sole National Guarantor for ATA Carnets.
ATA Carnet covers several areas for use including trade fairs, shows, exhibitions, meetings etc. for temporary export into a country which is a signatory to the conventions governing ATA Carnets. Goods must be re-exported out of every country and re-imported into India within a year. At present 73 countries recognize ATA Carnet, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Spain, UAE, UK and USA. To facilitate Carnet like mechanism for temporary movement of goods/exhibits between India and Taiwan, a protocol was recently signed between FICCI in India and TAITRA in Taiwan. The same is expected to be implemented soon.
The Government is actively considering to expand the scope of ATA Carnet convention. At present, India is a signatory to convention on exhibitors and fairs only. It is proposed to expand the same to cover commercial samples, professional equipment, private exhibitions, film shootings, musical troupes, sports and media coverage etc. FICCI, which is the National Issuing and Guaranteeing Association (NIGA) for implementing ATA Carnets in India, is pursuing the matter with the Ministry of Finance for the expansion of scope of system to cover professional equipment and commercial samples.
Highlighting the benefits of ATA Carnet at the workshop, Mr. Nirankar Saxena, Senior Director FICCI stated that ATA Carnet is an International customs document created to facilitate duty free and tax free temporary imports of goods in 73 countries. He said that it was a joint initiative of the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the ICC World Chambers Federation (WCF). He also pointed out that the usage of ATA Carnet in India is low whereas in countries like Switzerland and Germany it is five times higher per annum.
S. Vijayalakshmi, Deputy Director, FICCI, in her presentation said that the exporter using carnets should refrain from selling goods under ATA Carnet as it is allowed only "temporary import" of goods into another member country. She further stated that the carnets are intended for re-exportation and not for sale in the country of temporary admission.
Earlier Mr Gyan Prakash, FICCI Rajasthan State Council gave an overview of the activities of FICCI and welcomed the signatories and delegates.
The seminar was attended by large number of participants from the exim and trading and business community from all over Rajasthan.

Earthquakes or tornadoes?
I looked it up. Tornadoes can be spelled with or without an "e". Merriam said so.
Either way, they scare the bejeezzus out of me. The weather people go into a mouth-frothing frenzy with their Severe Weather Alert Day-- testing their sirens and weather announcements, sending doomsday text messages, warning us to get ready to dive into our safe places, peering intently at their radars, noting "rotations" and "hook echos" embedded in the line of storms. Well, my safe place is a zanax, heavy-duty ear plugs, and a blackout mask if at night, or an intense crochet project or book, if during the day.
I told Doug this morning that we should really get on that "bunker project" we've been talking about for 5 years. You know what he said? "It would have to be the size of a barn to suit you, because you'd want room for 3 horses, 4 cats, 14 chickens, 5 dogs, yarn, books, fabric, patterns, and food and water for at least 2 weeks in it. I think we'll just take our chances." "Humpfh," I say. "Bah, humbug."
Earthquakes. We don't get any warning before an earthquake unless we happen to be watching our aquarium, pets, or livestock--they usually give clear signs. (UPDATE: LARGE SOLAR FLARES MAY BE CONNECTED TO LARGE EARTHQUAKES DUE TO THE DISRUPTION IN EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELDS...stay tuned) I would much rather have an earthquake than a tornado. No six to 10 hours of dread precedes an earthquake. (Unless you live in California, where "The Big One" is discussed every year, people check their emergency kits and replace old batteries and canned goods, then move on with their lives like it was just another news story.) Just "wham," "Bam," "Kapow!" and there, you've just been in an earthquake.
"Holy Teeter-Totter, Batman!"
"Yes, Robin, I believe that was an earthquake!"
Yeeaah, I don't want any warning of my imminent doom. Just in case, though, I should start digging that underground bunker-barn.
who are we?
We are avid seamstresses and crafters since the ORIGINAL 1970's, and we're still going strong. We're also yarn, fabric, and pattern hoarders. ("Speak for yourself," protests Alice.) We, ok, I haven't parted with my stash in over 40 years until now. Maybe we'll have something that you just can't live without! Enjoy browsing!

This sounds like one I would enjoy. I'll have to read it.
The Wily Dalilah: Arabian Nights Feminist
In a work as varied as The Arabian Nights there are naturally some portions more popular than others, probably because some are more easily adapted into standalone tales of adventure. I think we in the West are more familiar with the Nights as a concept than a whole, and many of us have only read or watched adaptions of the most famous of the tales.
Don't presume that means that the best of the stories have all been filmed and that there is no point reading the rest. There are plenty of excellent, lesser known yarns within, and surely part of the fun of reading the nights is watching the puzzle box interrelation of stories within stories within stories. Admittedly, there are some portions that I don't like as well and don't revisit, as with any short story anthology, and many people feel the same, although you're likely to get a slightly different list of favorites from whomever you speak with.
Today I want to draw attention to one of my favorite sections, "The Wily Dalilah and Her Daughter Zaynab." If you've ever read my musings, you might expect this to be a tale of swashbuckling adventure set in distant locales, swimming with magic rings and djinn and evil wizards. "The Wily Dalilah," though, is set only in Baghdad, and there is no magic to speak of within the entire story. There are no daring princes with swords, or mysteries, only a clever old woman running a series of con games. Over the course of the narrative, Dalilah, with occasional aid from Zaynab, foments so much trouble in Baghdad that she draws down the attention of the caliph himself.
I've encountered fantasy fans who aren't interested in The Arabian Nights because they assume they will find heaps of sexism within the text. Well, yes… and no. Yes, you will find a patriarchal society, as you will when reading about most ancient cultures. But you will find women instrumental throughout many of the stories, and not just as objects to be won by questing young noblemen. The entire story sequence, remember, is told by a masterful storyteller outwitting a man so that she might live. But there are other prominent women within the story cycle apart from Scheherazade.
My favorite of all of them is Dalilah. Recently rendered destitute and infuriated that two notorious swindlers have been elevated to positions of power within the city of Baghdad, Dalilah launches a campaign to show Baghdad she can out-scoundrel the scoundrels. Through disguise and broad, bold-faced lies, Dalilah scams the unwary in a series of broad, low-comedy schemes. She so enrages the merchants that the police are called in. Captured in the evening, Dalilah goes to sleep near her guards, and the witnesses against her bed down outside. Dalilah wakens, pads past the guards, but, not satisfied with merely escaping, lies to the wife of the police chief and, pointing to the sleeping witnesses, says that she has brought the five mameluke slaves that her husband had asked for. As a result she makes off with a thousand dinars.
Caught again, Dalilah is tied to a post outside the city as punishment, then convinces a foolish Bedouin that she's been left there because she refuses to eat honeyed fritters. Eager for heaps of the fried dessert, the Bedouin swaps her places. In the morning, the guards, rather than finding an old woman, see a young Bedouin insistently demanding to be given his pastry treats.
Dalilah continues to wreak mayhem and accrue financial gain. In the end, the only person who can sort out the whole affair is the caliph himself, Haroun al-Rashid. After hearing the whole tale, and after Dalilah has returned the stolen goods and money, he rewards her (and her daughter, who was up to some additional mischief) with higher stations in Baghdad. Dalilah's late husband had been town captain of the city, and she is appointed in his place, and given stewardship of the caliph's special inn, which is tended by many slaves and servants.
There are a lot of ways to read the tale. If you just want to enjoy it for the surface details, it's guaranteed to raise a few smiles, for Dalilah is genuinely clever and the setups are elaborate and humorous. Yet there's a subversive air to the text. Dalilah does not gain justice or enrich herself by playing by the rules. She sets out to break the system and call attention to the idiots holding the finances and enforcing the dictates of the government. The wealthy class of merchants and those in positions of power, including their minions the city guards, are made time and time again to look like buffoons — although the country rube and the drug addict don't escape a few laughs at their expense as well.
I can't help wondering what the original listeners to the tale were thinking as they heard it. Surely they laughed as the hashish eater went crying through the city for his missing ass, but were they, too, thinking about the disparity of their station and those in the higher echelons of society? Were the women in the audience chuckling as the men fell again and again upon their faces while trying to catch up to Dalilah?
I re-read it from time to time because it's loaded with great details about the habits of ordinary men and women of the time, complete to an argument between a married couple that both end up, rather touchingly, feeling regret for it. But I also re-read it because it cracks me up.
6 Comments on "The Wily Dalilah: Arabian Nights Feminist"
Been too long since I've read the Arabian Nights. Clearly.
That's too bad that people skip over Arabian Nights on the assumption that it's horribly sexist. I love the range of engaging, proactive female characters in Arabian Nights. I've always really liked Morgiana — it's like making broth AND single-handedly defeating a band of forty thieves is just in a day's work for her.
The tragedy is that the Arabian Nights all but launched speculative fiction, breathing life into 18th century Romances of the very new, at the time, novel.
I did some research into the history of the reception of the 1001 Nights in American and British cultures. One fascinating thing is that up until the mid 20th century it was incredibly influential. For example, it was assigned reading Aleister Crowley foisted on his neophyte would-be mages, H.P. Lovecraft and E.A. Poe both cited the Arabian Nights as very profound influences on their storytelling and writing.
I think our culture is uncomfortable with shadows such as sexism, racism, and classism. As if in order to become a more progressive order we banished from the safety of our circle these spectres, but they remain, dark wraiths at the edges of our social perceptions. Our banishing, if you will, were never effective but we lost sight of them. They haunt us and until we grapple with them more directly they will continue to do so.
I think the 1001 Nights are brilliant in the way in which the most unpleasant human tendencies sit side by side with the most ethereal and magical, beyond being any sort of early fantasy and speculative fiction, they have a psychological aspect that is very important. An unpleasant magical mirror not just of medieval Islamic society, but of our own also, and of every human society.
The 'sexism' of The 1001 Nights is incredibly nuanced, like the 'racism' and 'classism' and somehow people often find it easier to forgive worse in other older Western works. Such as Shakespeare.
The Nights features nearly every single permutation of female characters, from Incredibly strong willed and assertive women with agency, ones without, as with male characters also, in the language of the age these stories were drafted in.
The hundreds of tales within it really show a spectrum of human tendencies and this is what I find most amazing. The frame of it is a narrating woman who not only outsmarts a psychopathic murderer of a husband, but psychologically transforms him, and conquers him through intelligence and will power.
The unstated subtext – that's found in a few manuscripts – is that she and her sister would have tried to kill him if the story ploy didn't work – but it did work, they had in a way more agency, and certainly displayed more intelligence, than the King. And in doing so she psychologically heals the entire Kingdom.
In a sense she is the real heroine of the entire story cycle.
