Intimidated by "the infallible word of God"? Don't be. Although any religious text that bears a reputation as awe-inspiring as that of The Qur'an is bound to intimidate, Tarif Khalidi, a scholar of Islamic literature, assures readers that there are varying levels of meaning, and that even those with no cultural or historical background in Islamic culture have much to gain from this captivating text. Spanning the spectrum from "justice of god, the freedom of the human will, the divine attributes, the ultimate destiny of sinners, and a host of other theological, legal, and historical issues," Khalidi recommends the text to anyone looking for knowledge, inspiration, or enlightenment.
This October's announcement of Herta Muller as the latest winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature was preceded exactly one hundred years ago by the naming of the first woman Nobelist in literature. In 1909, the Swedish Academy anointed Sweden's own Selma Lagerlof, whose best-loved novel, The Saga of Gosta Berling, has been called a Swedish Gone with the Wind. To honor Selma Lagerlof on the 100th anniversary of her Nobel Prize, Penguin Classics is excited to be publishing Paul Norlen's new translation—the first new English translation in over a century!
Never heard of Selma Lagerlof? Never heard of The Saga of Gosta Berling? Perhaps this will ring a bell: The novel was made by Mauritz Stiller into a silent film in 1924, with none other than Greta Garbo in the role of Countess Elisabet, the last in a long line of beautiful women who fall for the defrocked preacher Gosta Berling. The film is the great epic of Swedish silent cinema, and with it Greta Garbo (who lost twenty pounds for the role) was launched into stardom.
Huey Newton's autobiography tells more than how the Black Panthers came to be, or what it was like to be part of the growing movement for civil rights in America at that time. It is both deeply personal and uniquely universal. Newton talks about his quest for ideals, his constant search for purpose, and his utter loyalty to his own moral code. The perfect book to gain knowledge and inspiration, Revolutionary Suicide is also a captivating read as Newton recounts the successes and failures of the Black Panther Party, his brush with the law, and his ultimate acquittal. In addition, his widow, Fredrika Newton, contributes an enlightening introduction to the text, in which she explains the concept of "revolutionary suicide." To quote Huey Newton: "Revolutionary suicide does not mean that I and my comrades have a death wish; it means just the opposite. We have such a strong desire to live with hope and human dignity that existence without them is impossible."
James Agee's A Death in the Family has long had a place among the great American novels, and it makes its Penguin Classics debut this month, for the 100th anniversary of Agee's birth. Set in Knoxville, Tennessee, in the early twentieth century, and based on the story of Agee's own father, who died in a car crash when Agee was in elementary school, it is an exquisite, devastatingly beautiful portrait of a family trying to hold itself together in the face of loss, and of a boy forced by tragedy to become a man.
The novel won the Pulitzer Prize fifty years ago, two years after its author's death at the age of forty-five, and in his introduction to the Penguin Classics centennial edition, legendary singer-songwriter Steve Earle makes a case for its permanent place in the American canon, and in his heart: "[James Agee's words] are so indelibly etched someplace inside of me that I couldn't reach to rub them out even if I wanted to. And I never want to."
A demure, upstanding single woman meets a man at a costume party and steps out of character herself, deciding to spend the night with him. Little does she know that he's on the lam, and before long the media is swarming her, and she finds herself implicated in his crime.
Nobel Prize winner Heinrich Boll's The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum is a powerful short novel about a woman terrorized by the media and driven by a succession of lies and distortions to take extreme action to defend herself. Inspired by Germany's scandal-mongering tabloid press, whose fanatical coverage in the 1970s of the ultra-left-wing Baader-Meinhof Gang made a fair trial of its members impossible, it presents a lesson in journalistic ethics with striking parallels to our current media climate: from the ruthless paparazzi to the bullying of right-wing radio to the fearmongering during the 2008 election when Barack Obama was portrayed as a cryptosocialist Weatherman sleeper agent who dared to "pal around with terrorists." Bestselling novelist, radio host, and cultural critic Kurt Andersen makes these parallels clear in his brilliant introduction to the new Penguin Classics edition.
Now available for the first time in a single paperback edition are six of John Steinbeck's most widely read and beloved novels: Tortilla Flat, The Red Pony, Of Mice and Men, The Moon Is Down, Cannery Row, and The Pearl. The striking Penguin Classics Deluxe packaging gives a nod to the novels' first-edition book designs from the '30s and '40s.
Have you seen Tony Millionaire on Moby-Dick? Jeffrey Brown on Ethan Frome? Lille Carre on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? Graphic art lovers are clamoring for the new Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions of these great reads, with covers by some of the best comic artists working today. These three are some of the best we've seen from our award-winning graphic design series with full cover comic treatment . . . and those flaps, those flaps!
Plato honored her as a muse. Horace emulated her lyricism. The Ancient Greeks reproduced her image on coins and vases. And poets throughout generations have confessed their admiration for her. Sappho is one of the brightest luminaries of classical literature, revered for her musical style and poignant evocations. Yet she remains an elusive figure. However, even though little is known about Sappho's life and ninety percent of her work is lost to us, there is no doubt that her surviving poetic contributions are invaluable, and should be read by everyone.
In our new Penguin Classics collection of Sappho's work, Stung with Love, her songs have been freshly translated by Aaron Poochigian, and each poem or fragment is accompanied by a page of commentary that contextualizes the subject matter, underscores Sappho's technique, and highlights her stunning gift. This edition provides the most direct and insightful avenue for exploring the works of a poet who has been inspiring kings and peasants, men and women, writers and readers, for centuries.
For each Penguin Classics Newsletter we invite a professor to share an experience of teaching with a Penguin Classic. Richard Haw shares his experience of teaching John Steinbeck's The Moon Is Down in his course "The Second World War: History and Culture" at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
When it comes to the literature of the Second World War, The Moon Is Down is a difficult book to classify, and thus a wonderful book to teach. Steinbeck wrote the novella during the height of the conflict, and designed it explicitly as propaganda (Steinbeck was working for the US Office of Coordinator of Information at the time). Most propaganda doesn't make it onto college syllabi, of course, and for good reason. But this is different: as propaganda, it was awful. Or so Steinbeck's American critics thought at the time. Europeans living under Hitler's iron heel thought differently: they loved it, as have most of my students.
Those that hated the book thought it soft on the Nazis—not sufficiently vicious nor harsh enough on the enemy—but of course there are no Nazis per se in The Moon Is Down, nor Germans, Jews, or Europeans, and neither are there any place names or nations mentioned. Needless to say, the book certainly is about the Nazi occupation of Europe, but the lack of details lends the novella the quality of a fable or parable. The Moon Is Down is not so much about specifics but about situations, about cultural contact, occupation, political legitimacy and profound social turmoil. These—and not the particulars of war itself (although, of course, the mundane details of occupation provide an interesting contrast to the blood and guts of fighting)—were the elements that most intrigued and fascinated my students.
Obviously, the issue of occupation is current, and my students picked up the parallels with Iraq way before I had chance to introduce them myself (it helps that the occupying force in The Moon Is Down are there specifically to mine the town's rich coal reserves). And again, the question (or nature) of propaganda comes into play. Surprisingly, the occupiers are decidedly not demons, and neither are they overtly odious nor especially cruel. They are patriotic soldiers sent by their government to perform a task, and they attempt to carry out this task without undue force or malice, albeit unquestioningly. That they are hated so entirely by the townspeople fundamentally baffles the occupiers, and this fact helps provide a window into Steinbeck's main subject: the psychology of occupation, in regards to both residents and the occupying force. And the issue stretches further than mere war: as my students pointed out, the psychology of occupation presented by Steinbeck is often very similar to the psychology of colonial subjects, making the novella curiously related to issues of empire and imperialism.
The Moon Is Down is also, fundamentally, a book about the modern world. The occupiers are a "time-minded people": efficient, organized, corporate. And the occupying soldiers come to resemble nothing so much as modern office workers. The villagers, by contrast, move to the rhythms of nature and rural life, which makes them unfit for the rigors of organized war, but strangely good at resistance and disruption. They rebel against orders, but also against the idea of order itself. All of which, ultimately, helps explain a fundamental dichotomy of war, as seen by Steinbeck: while a well-organized, well-oiled fighting machine sows chaos and destruction, a rag-tag bunch of unruly civilians work to restore order. Ultimately, it seems, one needs an awful lot of order to create disorder, and an equal amount of mayhem to return.

The Consequences of Disrupting the Natural Order of Things in Gothic Literature College
The opposition between the natural and the unnatural is particularly prominent in gothic literature and the transgression of the boundaries between the two is often seen to be condemned. In Shakespeare's play Macbeth(1606), Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein (1818) and Angela Carter's collection of short stories titled The Bloody Chamber (1979), the "natural order" is certainly disrupted. However, the extent to which the consequences of this disruption are necessarily bad is questionable.
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, the "evil" deeds Macbeth commits are certainly seen as transgression to the unnatural. His dabbling with the supernatural forces of the witches in the opening of the play allows the audience to form a link between Macbeth and the supernatural to an extent where a 17th century audience would certainly see them as the cause of the change in Macbeth's character. Shakespeare uses the witches to foreshadow Macbeth's later suffering and fall from grace with the extended metaphor of the "shipman" who "sleep shall neither night nor day", suggesting that Macbeth's death was an inevitable consequence after he disrupted the natural order of things. Furthermore, when considering the context of the play, the reference to the...

Hey Guys, it has been a while.
So I went out over the holidays, and while I was out, the baby decided that dropping my computer off my work table would be a fun thing.
I have been dealing with the loss of it, and the new rig, for the last little while. Seems Windows 10 HATES second life and Firestorm. Official Viewer doesn't even support it. Hasn't it been out for like ever? Made me sort of glad I stuck to Windows 8, even with my general dislike of it.
I haven't recovered my data yet, and as of now, I do not have photoshop or any of my other programs on my new rig. It will take me a bit to transition back into my normal schedual, as I now have to catch up on work related things.
I wanted to let you know, I had lovely posts, and lovely welcome to the new years pics, just for all of you! I wore a gown and everything!
I do hope you all had an enjoyable holiday, and hope you will forge forth with the Free*Style team, into 2016.
I guess my 2015 went out with a BANG! then a pop and a fizzle, haha. Hopefully this doesn't mark me for bad luck for the new year.
In Honor of this momentous occasion, I am wearing the cutest little Ghost avi that you can find for only L$10 from Grendel's. I went to pick up the Holiday Gifts that were still out, and noticed this avatar. So if you like unique avatars for when you are out shopping the events and round, to sneak up on fashionistas, then come get this little guy and the other goodies. The Gifts are located by the big Christmas Tree.
Ghost Avatar can be found HERE.

Sean Rakhimov: Silver Going Mainstream in 2011
Never mind the correction in the price of silver, says Silver Strategies Editor Sean Rakhimov; better things are ahead. "It may be volatile; it may be steep; but it should be short-lived," he says, adding that he expects silver to rise well above its 2010 high at some point in 2011. Some of that price support could come from governments entering the silver market. Find out all the reasons for this and read about some of Sean's favorite silver plays in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report.

Our approach to BLT's and Berry Salad with Goat Cheese from Skinnytaste turned out to be a bit of a fail, but still OK in the end. A miscommunication with the hubster meant no berries in our berry salad, but other than a bit extra bland (thank goodness for local greens making it more flavourful!), it was pretty good. I'm not sure it was worth the time to make the cheese balls though, so don't think I'll plan on remaking this particular salad recipe in the future.
The BLT's were knocked up an extra level with bagels from the Great Canada Bagel, so they were more exciting than planned.

If you need to check, test or access a new website that is only accessible on a temporary URL, you may need to edit the hosts file to properly test the website. This method of access can also be used to make changes to a staging website prior to the website going live, or to simply verify the outcome of a migration.
The location of the hosts file and how to edit this depends on the operating system you are using.
Further down this page, there are guides for Windows, Mac and Linux.
How the Hosts file works
This basically works by tricking your computer into thinking that the DNS records have been updated on your Computer only. This allows you to access the website normally, but have it load from a different server.
The hosts file itself needs to be updated with specific syntax, this will be in the format of 'ip domain(s)', for example.
127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com.au www.yourdomain.com.au
Make sure the IP at the start of the line is the one of your actual server. You would see this in the email you received with your cPanel or WHM login information.
Once the changes have been made, you can test the website on the new server using its normal domain name/URL ie. how you normally access the website.
Crucial recommends removing the changes made in the host file once the testing has been completed.

I've only recently gotten into New Adult books and The Deal was recommended to me by quite a few people. Good news because I super loved this book! It was hot and funny and had just the right amount of reality and drama; it felt real, like I could picture being at college with these people. Plus sports!!! It was a really fun book with all the tropes that I love: fake dating, slow burn romance and best of all, hate to love by way of a tentative friendship AKA my kryptonite! Parts of the book were more serious than I anticipated but it didn't feel exploitive or drama for the sake of drama, which was good. Also ONE DIRECTION REFERENCES. So here for that haha :)
Besides TOTALLY loving Garrett (oh my god) and Hannah, I love that they communicated like adults. It didn't take half a book to resolve an argument, it took a few pages. So refreshing. They had the most amazing chemistry and I loved how they bantered with each other. And hot damn was this book super sexual sexy. Oh my godddd. Like, my face was burning while I was reading but I loved it haha. I also loved Garrett's friends, I'm so glad there will be companion books! I also read The Mistake and loved that too ;)

She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy…
Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice…even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.
…and it's going to be oh so good.
All Garrett Graham has ever wanted is to play professional hockey after graduation, but his plummeting GPA is threatening everything he's worked so hard for. If helping a sarcastic brunette make another guy jealous will help him secure his position on the team, he's all for it. But when one unexpected kiss leads to the wildest sex of both their lives, it doesn't take long for Garrett to realize that pretend isn't going to cut it. Now he just has to convince Hannah that the man she wants looks a lot like him.

There Are Many Great Reasons to Refinance
- You want to lower your monthly payments.
- Your interest rate is higher than present rates.
- You have an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) and want to turn it into a fixed-rate mortgage and don't want to take a chance on what interest rates may do in the future.
- You wish to take cash out, and the cash is at a lower rate than you could get on any other type of loan.
- The interest on this type of loan is tax deductible.
- You own your home free and clear and wish to take cash out.
- You would like to consolidate your first and second mortgage or your HELOC (home equity line of credit) loan.
- With interest rates so low, you may want to refinance your 30-year mortgage into one that's 15 years—allowing you to pay off your loan much earlier, build your equity much faster, and save tens of thousands of dollars in interest.
- Due to a divorce, you need to remove an absent former spouse from the mortgage note.
- If you own rental property, refinancing may lower your mortgage payments and increase the profit on your investment.
There are many, many people who presently have a mortgage and would greatly benefit from refinancing, but haven't. But at the same time, although there are many good reasons to refinance, doing so must make sense for your particular situation. Refinancing to reduce your interest rate, but thinking you might be selling your home in the next two years or so, as well as other important matters must be considered.
FHA Streamline Refinance (must have a FHA loan currently)
- No income documentation
- No appraisal required
- 550 minimum FICO
- 2 – 4 units are acceptable
VA Streamline Refinance (must have a VA loan currently)
- No income documentation
- No appraisal required
- 550 minimum FICO
- 2 – 4 units are acceptable
USDA Streamline Refinance (must have a USDA loan currently)
- No credit report required
- No appraisal required
- No late mortgage payments in past 12 months
FHA, VA and USDA Refinancing
If you have a FHA, VA or USDA loan, the Federal government has made it easier for you to refinance:
Conventional and Jumbo Loan Refinancing
If you have a conventional or jumbo loan, there are no special programs to refinance (you just qualify without any special ways to make it easier), unless you qualify for the HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program)
Under HARP you can refinance your conventional mortgage if:
- Your mortgage was originated on or before May 31, 2009.
- Your loan is owned or backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac (we can tell you if it is).
- Your mortgage is upside down (mortgage balance is greater than value of the property), or your current loan-to-value ratio is greater than 80% (mortgage balance is more than 80% of property value).
- You have no 30-day+ late payments in the last 6 months on your credit report.
- You have no more than one late payment in the past 12 months on your credit report.
- Your home is your primary residence, second home, or investment property.

This decision deals with an allegedly late-filed ground for opposition.
*** Translation of the German original ***
[2.1] According to its own statements, the [opponent] has raised the ground for opposition pursuant to A 100(c) for the first time during the oral proceedings (OPs) before the Opposition Division (OD). However, this submission is not mentioned in the impugned decision or in the minutes of the OPs. The [opponent] has requested a correction of the minutes, but the OD has dismissed this request in its communication dated December 14, 2010. This communication shows that the OD was of the opinion that the [opponent] had neither made a "formal" request nor submitted detailed arguments supporting [the ground for opposition] and that it was for that reason that it decided to dismiss the request.
[2.2] According to the declaration in lieu of oath by Dr A. (D33), who had accompanied the professional representative to the OPs, "the request was dismissed by the chairman and the introduction of the ground for opposition into the proceedings was not admitted". The representative of the [patent proprietor], who had also taken part in the OPs, has not contested that the [opponent] had raised the new ground for opposition. He only declared that he could not recall the details of the discussion.
[2.3] In view of this situation, considering the facts and the evidence, the Board of appeal has come to the conclusion that the ground for opposition pursuant to A 100(c) has been raised during the OPs but that the OD has exercised its discretional power pursuant to A 114(2) and decided not to admit this objection.
[2.4] The argument of the [patent proprietor] according to which it was not possible to introduce new grounds for opposition after the expiry of the time limit for filing an opposition is not in line with the established case law of the Boards of appeal (see G 9/91 [16]), according to which under certain circumstances the OD may, in application of A 114(1), consider a ground for opposition raised by the opponent after the expiry of the time limit for filing an opposition or even introduce a new ground of its own motion. It is true that in the present case the OD has not made use of this possibility, but this does not alter the fact that the new ground for opposition pursuant to A 100(c) was adduced during the opposition proceedings and, therefore, does not constitute a new ground that had been put forth for the first time during the appeal proceedings (cf. T 986/93 [2.4]).
[2.5] In its decision G 9/91 mentioned above the Enlarged Board of appeal has defined the conditions for an examination of grounds for opposition invoked after expiry of the time limit for filing an opposition by stating that there had to be prima facie relevant reasons for the grounds for opposition to be relevant and [that those reasons] would make it impossible to maintain the patent in its entirety or partly.
In the present case the amendment concerns a feature that is not disclosed in the original application as filed. The [opponent] has provided credible reasons […] that there is no support for this amendment in the application. The Board is of the opinion that the ground for opposition pursuant to A 100(c) to be prima facie very relevant.
The Board may take into account a ground for opposition which the OD has not admitted in application of A 114(2) if [the Board] is of the opinion that the OD has exercised its discretion wrongly (cf. T 986/93 [2.4] and T 620/08 [3.4]). In the present case neither the impugned decision nor the minutes of the OPs before the OD contain indications regarding the new ground for opposition or its dismissal, so that it is not clear according to which criteria the OD has exercised its discretion. The communication […] dismissing the requested correction of the minutes only refers to formal criteria such as a corresponding request or a lack of substantiation. It does not mention factual criteria that led to the dismissal of the new ground. Apparently the OD has not examined the question as to whether the new ground is to be considered prima facie relevant or not. Thus the decision of the OD not to take into account the new ground was not taken in a correct way.
In view of these circumstances and the fact that the Board considers the new ground for opposition to be prima facie very relevant, this ground is taken account of in the proceedings. For the sake of efficient proceedings and with the approval of the parties the Board has decided to decide itself on this ground within the framework of its powers under A 111(1).
As you might have guessed, the requests were found not to comply with A 100(c) / A 123(2) and the appeal was dismissed.

Why I didn't want to take off my new shoes
Sometimes you're just scrolling on the internet without a purpose and in that moment you see so many thinks you want to have. That's what happened to me: I came across the most perfects boots ever! From the moment I received these beauties, I didn't want to take them off. They have three straps with lots of details that makes the boots look rough. I received many complements about my new purchase when I wore them for the first time! The boots are perfect for many occasions like having dinner, festivals, traveling and walking through town. Nowadays nothing is too crazy so no one looks confused when you combine the boots with a dress. It has become a trend to make a girly outfit tough by adding bikerboots to your outfit. They're hot and happening all over the internet. It's so easy and fun to combine the biker boots with different outfits and experiment a little.
Tips for combining the boots in the right way
As I said: there are no rules. You should really just experiment and figure out how you prefer to wear your bikerboots. The least what I can do is give you some inspiration about my favorite looks.
- I'm fond of the combination of the boots with a biker jacket. Lately I bought a patent leather biker jacket and it just matches the boots so perfect.
- It will be nice to wear them with any kind of dress. If the bikerboots have a neutral color, I would probably wear them with a more colorful dress.
- Combine them with a big oversized tee with prints on it. Wear them in blogger-style.
- Last but not least I love to wear them with a more challenging skirt like what I'm wearing on these pictures, because then you prevent your outfit from being too much.
I hope this will help you rocking these perfect boots from Guess. I got them from Donelli: the shipping and return costs are free!

The best-selling urban fantasy series by Jim Butcher is far from over. Cold Days was just released last year. (Read the review of Cold Days), and the author's official website jim-butcher.com, just announced that the title of the 15th novel of the Dresden Files series: "Skin Game". And here's the synopsis:
It's a heist. Dresden has to participate. Everyone is planning to screw everyone else. But when and how?
Rakony from Reddit tells us more about what Skin Game is about:
Yeh Harry has to team up with Nicodemus to steal from Hades. Who appears to run some form of NeverNever bank and who has repurposed Daedalus' Labyrinth as his own security system. Also I heard that we see Anna Valmont, the surviving member of the Church Mice, again which should be interesting as Nick ordered the death of her colleagues/friends.

Oh, thank you! After all the difficulties, it's good to know that it comes through nicely :)Delete
LOVE the colors and the style!ReplyDeleteReplies
How wonderful, thank you Sue! I think I'll try perfect printing again when I get a proper press though :))Delete
Not sure how you pulled it off without the blobs etc! Really simply and lovely. I would never know that it was a gelliplate print. Looks like a serigraph.ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't know if I can explain how I pulled it off! I used a brayer with a very smooth surface and two templates, one on top of the other. I removed the first after printing one colour and, since the second was already underneath, already in place, I managed a perfect matching of the edges. I'm sure there's a simpler way of doing that but I still haven't read any tutorials so I had to improvise. If it looks like serigraphy though, I consider it a great success! Thanks, Julie!Delete
really love these latest works ... nicely done ... i am in the process of waiting waiting for my studio to be finished and am itching to get to work ... these just make me feel even more angstee ... lovely work ...

I hope your studio is finished soon, so you can get to work. If you feel like giving a try to gelli printing, all you need is a small working surface and running water to clean your plate after printing.

Lol, thank you Carol! I think I already did and now I'm thinking about creating prints that I will not consider trials any more.Delete
bonjour from province of quebec, i loved your work,the precsion of it.tell me i see a small embossing of a square form in pale green(at least on my screen) did you pass it throught a traditionnal press before adding the gold ribbons?and are the black lines added "a main levée" as we say in french.i am very admirative of how you put that together because i am struggleing in those kind of steps also.ReplyDelete
merci for sharing.Replies
Hello Quebec! Thanks very much for the comment. Let's see, I'll try to explain. My gelli print only appears in the first two images: 1. The final work 2. The print before adding the graphite.Delete
The last image is of a fractal (digital-genarated art) that I created some years ago and has nothing to do with printing. Aside from having it printed digitally, of course.
I did not use a traditional press (I don't have one) and if you see any pale green or embossing in the first two images, it's just an effect on your screen.
Achieving the precision you see here was a lot of work and I doubt that I'll try again with my gelli plate. I'll wait till I can have a press comme il faut. :)
The black wavy line you can see in the first picture was indeed made a main levée. I used a carpenter's pencil (at least that's what we call it in Spain) and drew the line after placing the paper on a textured surface. That's why it looks grainy.
I hope this helps! I'm thrilled you like this work and I would be happy to help with any other questions you may have, limited as my knowledge still is.

Rey, Castro or Sugar (the fact that he has a plethora of names is significant in itself) is a member of the Philippine underclass, the illegitimate son of a prostitute and an African American serviceman. We follow him from his wretched childhood in a Philippine slum, his membership of a street gang, his rescue and education at the hands of the Jesuits; his enrollment in college to study law and his developing talent for basketball. Rey is possessed of a hugely powerful physique, which makes him ideal for basketball, a game he says the Filipinos had no sane reason to take up. How could a short, wiry –fathers and mentors let me not be mealy mouthed – teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy, chronically malnourished, genetically-disadvantaged South-East Asian folk ever have chosen a less appropriate endeavor by which to be measured? He also has curiosity and a passion for reading, and forms a bond of intellectual friendship with one of the Fathers. Through his unwilling involvement in a crime he is forced into exile to escape the law; we follow his adventures as a chauffeur to a British expat family in Hong Kong, a travel-guide cum baby-sitter in Thailand; an indentured construction labourer in a fictional country on the Arabian peninsula, probably a composite of Kuwait, Saudi, Qatar or another of those appalling shitholes, a bodyguard on a business trip to Mumbai; a layabout in England, a layabout in Cuba, a long spell as a seaman on container ships on the high seas – the engine room of globalization - and after a brief spell in America, home again to the Philippines. Everywhere he goes in the underdeveloped world he is, as he says, a member of the international underclass who were the slaves of our century. And everywhere he goes he experiences himself as the outsider, the renegade, by virtue of the colour of his skin, his size and ability to handle himself, his intelligence and gift for observation, his peaceable temperament in the face of open hostility.
It's through certain repeated images that Mo explores his themes of globalization, identity and aculturalisation. The most powerful appears in the first paragraph: the photographic negative. Isn't the negative always more intriguing than the print? At one stage he encounters a group of Filipino albinos, at another, a group of coral divers, whose hair has been bleached and whose backs have been burnt black by the sun they too looked like the precursors of a photograph, or shadow relics of a nuclear blast. This is the flipside of globalization, the negative to the print. Another image is the halo, a type of desert, a many hued and multi-textured confection of ice-cream, cereals, neon syrups, crystalized fruits, frosty shavings, leguminous preserves and bloated pulses that you can find in different names all over South Asia. Images of other kinds of composites abound. Rey makes friends with a master huntsman, and he shows Rey his prize possession: a composite bow made of leather on one side and horn on the other: you got antagonistic forces working together just for you! It gets its power from putting together a whole assembly of parts that ain't worth diddly on their own. Rey himself is both a negative and a halo.
It's significant that the protagonist of the novel is Filipino, because that country is at once the most obvious victim of globalization, and at the same time a potent symbol of racial, religious and linguistic diversity. Rey, in his encounters with the wide array of people he meets, seems to be saying the real strength of globalization is in the diversity with unity it can bring. He recognizes that people are formed as much by their context as by their essence. He learns from the Jesuits how to decode things he doesn't at first understand from their context, and everyone he meets has been taken out of their context and placed in a new one. In such a decontextualized world, all values become relative: Commander Smith's virtues, those absolutes I had been disposed to worship, I was starting to see as relatives, as part of my own Philippine family of vices. They were only successful in their own context, in a better society.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the linguistic energy of the novel, and this is its chief strength and originality. There are frequent puns (the word halo is tremendously fruitful in this regard) and meditations on language. I reckon Philipino would look a whole lot better than Filipino, a spelling demeaning in itself, while sounding just the same. I mean you've got Philosophy, Philology, Physiology (and I admit, Phlegm) as against Fuck, Fart and Fool. Rey tells his story himself, infusing his language with Filipino street slang in Cebuano, Visayan, Tagalog, themselves types of bastardised Spanish, one of the lingua francas of the developing world. He can veer from high literary English to curses and imprecations in Taglish (or Bislish if you like), and he knowingly and wittily references high European culture: happy ships were happy in different ways, di ba, but unhappy ships were unhappy in different ways, siguro. He also uses words like cunctatory (yes, I had to look it up too), and has read Dickens, Haklyutt, Hobbes, and the novel has obvious nods to Smollett and Conrad.
The great danger of globalisation, culturally, is that it imposes a ghastly kind of uniformity on everything, where everyone shares the values of the dominant culture, and smaller cultures are absorbed into what the cultural theorist Victor Segalen called the beige paste of entropy. You can see this process happening in the critical response to the novel. British critics accused Mo of peddling in stereotypes, but Mo and his alter ego Rey recognize that stereotypes play an important part in understanding how people operate out of their context: they work as a convenience, a first impression, as long as one is prepared to change ones mind on further acquaintance with reality. The novel preempts those critics who are more concerned with virtue-signaling their awareness of the stereotypes of racial prejudice than in squarely facing the fact that there does exist racial difference, and that cultures are relatively superior or inferior. I also believe the degree to which you discern or suspect prejudice against yourself or your kind is the measure of the prejudice in yourself. Those who inveigh the most vehemently are those who hate the most. An early but central scene involves a gang rape and murder, and Mo came under a lot of criticism for including this scene. But those who criticise the work for this are only shooting the messenger. Mo is describing the reality of the world that exists outside the context of the comfortable world of the literary critic or Western reader. In the East the placid poor lived in terror of the violent rich. In the West the rich lived in terror of the criminal poor. Unlike the critics, he is not mealy-mouthed about that reality. Unlike them he does not make the mistake of assuming that other parts of the world share the same values, and does not fall victim to the stultifying myth of cultural uniformity.
Mo has fallen off the radar a bit since his early high visibility with the Booker Prize nominated The Monkey King, Sour Sweet and his excellent historical novel about Hong Kong An Insular Possession, although rumours that he is 'missing' are surely exaggerated (the same exaggeration that Thomas Pynchon is a 'recluse'). It's just that he's not attending literary cocktail parties in London. He reportedly turned down an advance from Random House in the mid 90s, not because it wasn't big enough, as it has been unkindly suggested, but because one assumes he was chafing under the kind of editorial control that results in the usual, careful, anodyne, taupe prose that graduates of creative writing programs produce nowadays. By starting his own imprint, and publishing this work under it, Mo has escaped this kind of editorial interference, thankfully. It's hard to believe that a novel of this linguistic scope, ambition and brilliance, and the taboo-breaking scenes of sex and violence that it contains would be accepted by one of the mainstream houses today. And yet there is nothing amateurish or 'vanity published' about this highly accomplished and finely-wrought novel. The only drawback is that by removing himself from the publishing industry in this way his novels have not had the coverage and distribution that would bring them to a wider readership, which is a tremendous shame, as this work in particular, 20 years after it first appeared, has a lot to teach complacent Western readers about the world outside their purview. With his kind of halo prose, and by moving the bildungsroman and picaresque away from the centres of tradition to marginal characters and the post-colonial world – the new centre, Mo has infused the English language and the English novel with new vigour and vitality.

Dreams of a perfect yard often have to be forgotten when we hear the price of a professional landscaper. It is possible to get back on a budget by landscaping your yard yourself. It will take time and you need to know the basics before you begin. These are some of the essential pointers you need to know before tackling your own yard.
Planning is absolutely essential. This isn't the sort of DIY that you can just make up as you go along. The most important thing to plan is what you actually want out of your new yard. Spend some time with the family discussing everyone's wish list. You may find that a play area for the kids is essential and an outdoor seating area isn't. It's really about what you or your family need. Sketching out your ideas is a good way to check their realistic. A patio might be a nice idea but will it fit? Is a vegetable garden best placed next to the kid's play area? It's also worth planning the practical considerations. Hiring skip bins is a good way to keep organized once you get underway. This means you can get rid of any organic waste or rubble as you go.
Don't Be over Ambitious--
After years of plans, you may want to include everything that you like in your new yard. If you're new to landscaping it's best to start off small. Remember, you won't have a whole crew helping you! Start by planting a small flower bed. This will hone your organization skills, as well as planting and designing skills. Being over ambitious will also mean you quickly break your budget. It's so important to try your best to rigorously stick to your initial budget. Otherwise, plans could develop and prices will spiral out of control.
Choose a Center of Attention--
Most yards have a focal point or a few areas where our eyes are naturally drawn. Avoid putting lots of different trees, sculptures, and different plants into your yard. Everything needs to work in harmony together, rather than fight for attention. Complement sculptures or brighter flowers with some muted or classic styles. Landscaping is a great way of making your home unique. But too many additions will make for a cluttered yard that lacks focus.
Before You Start Planting--
Carefully consider what you're putting where. It's worth spending time tracking the sun in your yard. Plants need the right amount of sunlight to grow. If there in a shaded patch that never sees any sun they won't be successful. When you buy plants they have a tag on them. This tag tells you everything you need to know about what the plant requires. Be sure to read and adhere to these tags.
Whilst you may want to get stuck into planting flowers and trees, hardscaping really does need to come first. What that means is that any patios, decks, fencing, or porches need to be constructed before any planting takes place. Once you start planting you could easily damage turf or plantings with all the debris.

Yiddish Neuter Nouns-Dos Words
Nu?—Neuter Nouns
When I asked my mom o"h what she knew about grammar, she answered, "What do you want to know about bobe (granma)?"
On the next page is a list of neuter nouns.
Yiddish nouns usually are only masculine,
feminine or neuter. Unlike English many
languages have genders for their nouns
(names of people, places or things). A
common neuter noun in Yiddish is kind
(child, plural kinder). How do we say the
child? It all depends, for there are four
Yiddish words for the English word the.
They are; di, der, dos and dem. It is easy
for plurals, for we always use di (di kinder).
Let us simplify things, for if we are speaking of only one child, we use either dos or dem—never di or der. This is true for all the words on the next page. Here are examples.
The child is here. Dos kind iz do.
I see the child. Ikh ze dos kind.
The child's book is here. Dem kinds bukh iz do.
I bring the child a book. Ikh breng dem kind a bukh.
There are groups of words that are neuter nouns and act like kind. They are country names, towns, metals and diminutives or affectionate (often ending in ele). It is interesting that Northeastern Yiddish does not use the neuter, but assigns them to either masculine or feminine. So if you never use dos for the English the, you may be using Northeastern Yiddish.
Another reason to know the gender relates to the ending of words that change the meaning of the noun (the adjective). The ending of an adjective changes depending on which form of the one uses.
There is a one to one correspondence.
With der you add er
With di or dos you add e
With dem you add n or en
Add a describing word good to each
sentence, and see how it is changed.
The good child is here. Dos gute kind iz do.
I see the good child. Ikh ze dos gute kind.
The good child's book is here. Dem gutn
kinds bukh iz do.
I bring the good child the book. Ikh breng dem gutn kind dos bukh.
The Yiddish words a and an are spelled and used exactly as they are in English. When using a or an the describing word is not changed—good is gut.
A good child is here. A gut kind iz do.
A good child's book is here. A gut kinds
bukh iz do.

See Ya, Shonda!
Haven't posted on the Grey's fiasco, but this is exactly why Thursday nights are going to change for me. I am done with the drama, both inside the series and out. I am tired of Meredith and her dark self, and I am tired of all the self righteous crap from Katherine Heigl and the rest of the cast, crew and writers. Was Isaiah right or Isaiah wrong? You know, that entirely depends on you. But after letting him jump through hoops and go into "rehab," to find out that they were done with him anyway? Puh-leeze!!

One fine day I walked into a nail salon to treat myself to a pedicure. Little did I know that I would meet one of my very favorite strays. By nature, I am a talker, especially to strangers. Ladies in the nail salon are typically quietly relaxing with phones, magazines or a book. One young woman stood out the most, as she had her nose in a book that I recently read by Karin Slaughter. Karin is a phenomenal author of thriller books that captivate you from the first paragraph. The book was also a library book which is always a delight to see in the community.
By the time our pedicure was complete this young woman and I were Best Friends Forever. Her name is Rebecca Phillips. She has the most striking blue eyes I have ever seen. I learned that she was an attorney in Greensboro, NC and recently returned to her parents to save money to buy her first home. The poor woman did not have a chance to get away from my attention and interest in her story. Her quick wit and sarcasm made me laugh until I cried.
One thing she said to me that day stuck with me, "You like to pick up strays!" Confused, I asked her what she meant. She went on to explain, "You seek out people to connect with and then bring them into your tribe so they know that they are welcomed and encouraged." I stopped and thought about all of the stories we shared with each other in the past 2 hours, and I realized she was right. While on any road trip I make friends and include them in my life from then on. From that point forward Rebecca was part of the Sunday Sushi ritual and was invited to every local event that I was able to attend. Rebecca was often unavailable. You see, Rebecca is a person who everyone wanted in their tribe. There were endless birthday parties, weddings, showers and events that she was included in. I had the privilege to learn how amazing of a friend she is.
I took a month-long trip out West in September of 2017. At one of our many sushi nights, I asked if she wanted to play house at my home while I was gone. She jumped at the opportunity. In my true hyper-organized fashion, I created a Welcome to my home guide and rules of dog care, since she would be sharing the home with my 2 dogs. Rebecca laughed at my guide while greatly appreciating my organization skills. Upon return, I knew something was a bit off with the dogs. They are not allowed to sleep on the bed with me, but now they lingered on the side while just staring at me. They did the same when I sat on my couch, which they aren't allowed on either. To say thank you I took Rebecca out to dinner. When she arrived at the house before dinner, the dogs went crazy for her. I asked if by any chance had the dogs snuggled with her on the couch or maybe even on the bed. She smiled, rolled her eyes sheepishly and looked at the dogs and said, "I thought we had a talk about this before I left. You were not to tell your mother that I promptly broke all of the rules she set for you the moment she left! This was to be between you and I. That is why I washed all of the bedding and blankets I put over the couch so she'd never know" Again, I was laughing so hard tears came to my eyes.
During dinner, I shared with her the people I met and stories of hiking. Rebecca smiled and said, "You were picking up those strays again." I promptly told her that she was my very favorite stray.
Rebecca went on to start a very creative business in addition to her long work hours as an attorney. Sadly, our time together dwindled over the past few months. When I learned that she unexpectedly passed away suddenly on January 27, 2018, my heart broke wide open. This beautiful person was only 31 years old. Her life had barely begun in many ways but was so accomplished in other ways. I will forever be grateful to have had Rebecca in my life. I simply wish it had been longer, for she was my favorite stray!

Odoo security with Fail2ban
Odoo security with Fail2ban is the result of my collaboration with Cyril Jacquier to the Fail2ban project. Through my implementations and throughout the life-cycle of an Odoo system, I have been confronted like so many system administrators with login attacks. Since Odoo is an online web-based ERP, nothing is easier than injecting POST requests and try to penetrate the system by brute-forcing the Login Interface.
As a result, I turned to Fail2Ban in order to parse the logs and ban from the NAT of the Odoo server the nasty IPs that kept sucking out bandwisth and CPU and compromising our client's […] Read more

Capability Acquisition and Sustainment
The Australian F-35A Project
The Australian F-35A Project, also known as AIR6000 Phase 2A/2B, is introducing a fifth generation air combat capability to meet Australia's air combat needs beyond 2030.
Australia's F-35A will fulfill the functions of air dominance and strike capability currently provided by F/A-18A/B Hornets.
In the 2016 Defence White Paper, the Government confirmed that it plans to equip the Air Force with 72 F-35A aircraft by 2023, to meet planned Final Operating Capability.
The Australian F-35A Project is on track to meet planned Initial Operating Capability in December 2020.
In addition to acquiring 72 aircraft, the project will also deliver facilities, weapons and new support systems to meet the fifth generation requirements. The workforce will also need to transition to meet fifth generation approaches to operating and sustaining a fifth generation F-35A fleet as part of a global F-35 network.

The School of Physics offers on-demand SOOC (Specialized Open Online Course), titled "Nonlinear dynamics 1 & 2: geometry of chaos"
The course, which covers the same material as the Georgia Tech course PHYS 7224, is in part an advanced seminar in nonlinear dynamics, aimed at PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and advanced undergraduates in physics, mathematics, chemistry and engineering. It's reputed to be 10^6 times harder than any other course on internet, but dozens of brave students have survived all 16 weeks of it.

Letterkenny cyclist making his mark in UK
Letterkenny cyclist making his mark in UK
Letterkenny cyclist Ciaran O'Sullivan will be on the British Cycling Premier Calendar Road Race Series next year having this week joined the Velo 29 team.
Twenty-seven-year-old O'Sullivan (pictured below) met with team management and sponsors Richard Williamson and Daniel Smith to sign for the Middlesbrough-based team on Monday.
A final year Honours Degree Quantity Surveying student at Northumbria University in Newcastle, O'Sullivan competed locally in the 24/7 Triathlon Club in Letterkenny and with clubmate Sean McFadden, cycled from Mizen to Malin to raise more than €5,000 funds and awareness for the rehabilition community with aid charity in Thailand two years ago.
O'Sullivan, since moving to England, came home in 10th place in the National Hilltop Championships in October and also played his part in a bronze medal finish for his university team.
"I had been concentrating on triathlons, but picked up a knee injury around about this time last year, which made running awkward," O'Sullivan, whose family live in Carolina Park, said this week. "Since then I have been solely cycling and am enjoying it. Between college and the series next year I'll be busy, but the series is something that I can certainly look forward to with Velo 29."
The British Cycling Premier Calendar Road Race Series, which encompasses a number of events throughout the United Kingdom where competing cyclists compete for points on a race by race basis, kicks off in March of next year.

|The French arrive in Switzerland by droves
Home > About us > Press > Weeklies > Le Matin
Le Matin Dimanche October 5, 2003
Today there are more people from France in Switzerland that there are in all of Francophone Africa. Switzerland does not only attract rich retirees, hip artists and champion athletes. Nowadays, Mr. Joe Average is leaving Paris or Grenoble for the cantons of Vaud and Geneva.
Don't ask Christine Berger economic reasons were what brought her to Switzerland. She may laugh in your face. This former teacher who took early retirement at 59 simply made a lifelong dream come true—to live in this peaceful and mountainous country. "Like all French public servants, I'm not made of gold. But, I didn't have any problem getting settled in Switzerland," explains this Frenchwoman from Dijon. And even though she doesn't speak German, she moved to Bad Ragaz in Saint-Gall canton—just like Heidi's aunt. "I live simply. I make the most out of life and I take my dog for walks," says Christine Berger. A few years ago this kind of living arrangement would have been impossible. Switzerland only had eyes for rich foreigners and other stars: businessmen, famous actors, and tennis players. You couldn't get a residency permit without having a well-padded bank account.
"Today, a single person who does not make more than 25,000 francs a year can legally come live in Switzerland. Bilateral agreements have brought about an influx of independent wage earners," states François Micheloud. It's his job to deliver a turnkey Switzerland. His company, which is located across the street from the Lausanne-Palace, looks after everything from residency permits and housing to enrolling children in private schools. And the requests are pouring in.
Patricia Kaas—the exception
Between 150,000 to 160,000 people from France
As a result, Switzerland is attracting more and more people from France as well as from other large countries such as the United States, Germany and Great Britain! In 2002, there were officially 118,000 people from France living in the Swiss Confederation, as compared to 87,000 living in Germany, 101,000 in all of Black Africa. The rapidly increasing number of new registrations for Geneva, Vaud, and Valais amounted to 84,500 as of September 1, 2003, which makes the French consulate in Geneva one of the most important in the world! Consulate General François Laumonier points out that "it is not mandatory to register." Therefore, it wouldn't be out of line to imagine that 150,000 to 160,000 "Frenchies" now live alongside their Swiss cousins. And not only because of the tax advantages. "French people place importance on security, the environment, and respecting people's private lives," adds François Laumonier.
"For the dependability and the quality"
For the last decade, Laurence Bergen, originally from France, and her Belgian husband Dirk have worked in the metal packaging industry. They left Paris to come to Vaud canton in order to launch a fairly avant-garde concept: metal packaging condoms.
"We first thought that we would set up shop in Italy. But, we quickly decided on Switzerland because it is considered to be a serious country. People trust it: its very name means quality," explains Laurence Bergen, the head of BLD—a company that should end up hiring five or six people.
Waiting for approval and authorization always takes a long time when the product is condoms, particularly those being marketed to young people. During the waiting period, the couple has begun another, very different, activity—selling high-end boats that are up to 15 meters long. A view over the lake can give people ideas. Upon return from the exhibition at Cannes, Laurence and Dirk Bergen decided to represent two builders—one from Norway, and another from Italy.
"I can't stand fondue"
Following in the footsteps of Charles Aznavour, Marie Laforêt and Alain Delon, television host Fabrice also made Switzerland as his choice destination for what we would call a well-earned retirement. For a long time he played the role of a teacher in charge of a "class" of happy jokers on France 3. He and his wife, Michèle attended the official opening of the Montreux Casino at the end of September.
Like many other well-known people from France, Fabrice chose to live in Vaud canton instead of Geneva, the City of Calvin. In fact, after spending many years in the pollution and traffic jams of the Paris region, the young retirees (Fabrice is 61) prefer Vaud canton's small towns and countryside. After spending a year in the Swiss Confederation, the television host knows the local slang, but still can't stomach fondue. To make up for it, he certainly doesn't turn up his nose at trying local wines.
"The first piece of advice I would give to people from France who want to move abroad is to pick a country they would enjoy living in," recommends Patrick Michaud, a Parisian lawyer who specializes in turnkey relocations to Switzerland.
