With retrospective effect from January 1, 2012, Coperion s.r.l., Italy, a subsidiary of Coperion GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany, has acquired the majority holding in Weicom s.r.l., Ferrara, Italy.

Through this latest acquisition, Coperion has now consistently strengthened its competence as a system supplier to the plastics industry.

text: SOS Children's Village Bangalore SOS Children's Villages has been present in India since 1963, our work developed rapidly all over the country and we started our activities in Bangalore in 1990. Poverty continues to exist in the "Silicon Valley of India" Children having fun outside (photo: SOS archives). Bangalore is located in the south-east of India, in the state of Karnataka. With 8.5 million inhabitants, it is the third most populous city in India. It is a cultural, educational and economic centre in the region. Although a lot of economic growth has been attributed to the IT sector, the development of industry has also played an important role. Over the past decades the city has been growing at alarming rates. People from nearby rural areas, as well as from neighbouring states, have come to Bangalore in search of a better life. Unfortunately, this dream is often not fulfilled. The rate of urban poverty is high. The increasing population has put a lot of pressure on the local infrastructure, which has not been developed to keep up with the growing demand. This lack of infrastructure and services affects all those living in poverty in Bangalore. These vulnerable families face many disadvantages regarding the competition for land, infrastructure and services. There are a growing number of slums and more and more people living in them - some families have been living in slums for two, or even three generations. People living here have inadequate access to sanitation facilities and clean water as well as to services including health and education. Diseases such as scabies, diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid and eye infections are common. Families living in poverty struggle to meet their basic needs. Children often do not go to school, but do odd jobs or beg and sell goods on the streets. Some families manage to send their children to school but are extremely vulnerable to any change in circumstances; if a family member falls ill, has an accident or dies, the family plummets into abject poverty. Female-headed households are amongst the most vulnerable. Many children living in such conditions are at risk of losing parental care. We work closely with the local community SOS Children's Village Bangalore is located in the Hulimavu neighbourhood about 16 km to the south of Bangalore. We work closely with local agencies and community-based organisations in order to identify families who are in need and provide them with the support they require to improve their lives. What we do in Bangalore Talented children put on a show during a village celebration (photo: SOS archives). A central part of the work that SOS Children's Villages carries out in Banglore is related to supporting local children and families. We run a family strengthening programme to enable families to stay together and take good care of their children. We aim to raise awareness of hygiene and children's rights and give guidance on parenting skills. We provide families with food, educational support and medical treatment. We have a sick bay which administers basic medical care. In order for families to generate income, we offer them vocational training, career counselling and advice on how to look for a job. We train people in advanced animal husbandry and tailoring or help them set up small businesses selling vegetables. If children can no longer stay with their families, they find a loving home with one of the 16 SOS families, where they grow up with their sisters and brothers. The children attend the local kindergartens and schools - this helps with their integration into the community. At SOS Children's Village Bangalore, special importance is attached to the teaching of sports, music and traditional dancing. We have a well-equipped learning centre, which includes a library and a computer centre. Children from our family strengthening programme are encouraged to attend the classes that are offered here. When the young adults are ready to leave their SOS families they join our SOS Youth Programme. With the support of qualified professionals they are guided through this new stage of their lives, as they start vocational training courses, attend higher education or look for work. The young people are encouraged to develop perspectives for their future, learn to shoulder responsibility and increasingly make their own decisions.

John and Frances Canning were hoping for a low-key wedding at Manchester Town Hall. But all hopes were tossed aside when Queen Elizabeth showed up to fête the newlyweds.
During an official tour of Manchester on Friday to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee — sixty years as Britain's monarch — Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were attending a luncheon at the Manchester Town Hall. In an adjacent room, the Cannings were standing in front of a minister, exchanging vows. Minutes after the two were pronounced husband and wife, they received a uniquely royal blessing when the Queen and the Prince entered the room.
(PHOTOS: Diamond Jubilee: 60 Years of Queen Elizabeth II)
Bride Frances was hardly upset to be removed from the center of her guests' attention. "The Queen spoke to us by our first names. She said I looked lovely and she wanted to wish us all the best for the future," she told The Sun. The Cannings and their 40 guests were able to share in wedded bliss with the British monarch and a number of royal dignitaries.
While they were stunned to see the royals crash their wedding, it was hardly an event of chance. John Canning was aware of the Queen's imminent visit upon booking their nuptial ceremony, and he capitalized on the shared venue space by writing a "lighthearted letter" to Buckingham Palace to invite her along, according to the Manchester Evening News. They received a polite reply declining the invitation, so it came as a shock to the Cannings when a rose-clad Queen appeared at their ceremony. A royal source told The Sun, "The Queen didn't want to spoil their day, but did ask if she could meet the bride and groom." Spoil away, Your Majesty.
The Queen and Prince Philip even stuck around to take a number of photographs with the couple. You can bet those photos will be the cover of their wedding album.

The conservative strategy of attempting to pit Asian Americans against other communities of color fails to recognize overwhelming support for affirmative action by Asian Americans.

The U.S. Supreme Court will begin hearings today on Fisher v. University of Texas, a case that challenges the future of diversity in higher education. Specifically, it will review the constitutionality of a broad affirmative action program used to admit freshmen to the flagship university in Texas. Although the current Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action in the country's institutions of higher education—established by Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003—determined that diversity was enough of a compelling interest in education to allow institutions to consider race as one of many factors in admissions' decisions, this case seeks to prohibit schools from considering race whatsoever in a student's application.
There are plenty of reasons to support diversity in higher education—the most important among them being that it benefits everyone inside and outside the classroom. But the reason this debate irritates and, frankly, offends me is how its critics seek to challenge this common good by promoting division among those of us who ought to be its strongest advocates.
I'm not in the least surprised by this—after all, the conservative strategy is to divide. To divide rich from poor, white from nonwhite, black from brown, and so on. Give them time and I'm sure they'd even divide the tall from the short. And when it comes to diversity in education, the age-old strategy of depicting Asian Americans as vehemently opposed to programs that expand opportunity to all racial groups once again rears its ugly head. If all racial minorities (including Asian Americans) don't support such programs, the argument goes, how could it possibly be a good thing? Critics of diversity in higher education want and need us to believe that expanding opportunity for some can only be achieved by stealing it from others. It is a zero-sum game that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Let me be absolutely clear: I am an Asian American (in case the name confuses you) and I fully support race-conscious admissions programs. I support them because I understand that race, in addition to other factors such as socioeconomic status, still shapes opportunity in this country. I support race-conscious policies because our country is quickly become more racially and ethnically diverse and our institutions of higher learning have yet to reflect those demographics. And finally, I support them because I know that our country's global competitive advantage will rely on an increasingly diverse workforce—a workforce trained in our institutions of higher learning.
I'm not alone. In fact, the majority of Asian Americans in this country support affirmative action. One organization, the 80-20 National Asian American Educational Foundation, filed an amicus brief in support of the petitioner with the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights, citing a survey that allegedly reveals overwhelming support in the Asian American community for "race-neutral, merit-based college admissions policies." The organization even challenges any Asian American organization taking a different stand to do a similar survey proving 80-20 wrong.
It's not a very smart challenge since a closer look at the 80-20 survey demonstrates that the organization only queried its own membership and asked leading questions on their website to boot. Self-selected survey responses do not pass muster for representing public opinion. What does, however, is a multicity, multiethnic, and multilingual survey of political attitudes and behavior of Asian Americans—a survey that already exists. This survey was administered by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research and demonstrates that 63.1 percent of Asian Americans indicate that affirmative action "is a good thing" while only 5.7 percent report it "is a bad thing."
This finding is consistent with exit polls taken during votes on two state referendums to end affirmative action. In 1996, 61 percent of Asian American voters rejected Proposition 209 in California, and in 2006, 75 percent of Asian American voters rejected a similar measure in Michigan—Proposition 2.
So I'm clearly not the only Asian American to support programs that open access to higher education and expand this opportunity to all Americans—particularly those groups that continue to be underrepresented on our college and university campuses. Moreover, I'm in good company: One amicus brief was filed by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, 18 separate Asian American and Pacific Islander education and youth-serving organizations, and 52 higher education faculty and officials; an additional brief was filed by the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice (an affiliation itself of four organizations working for civil rights from the Asian American perspective) and was joined by 74 additional Asian and Pacific Islander organizations.
The arguments supporting race-conscious admissions programs made in these briefs must be lifted up to make clear that our community is not as divided over this issue as conservatives would have you believe.
First, Asian Americans are familiar with the need for programs that expand opportunity. Take California, for example, a state where Asian Americans benefited from race-conscious programs until they were no longer underrepresented. Asian Americans also continue to benefit from race-conscious opportunity programs in the workplace—while the Asian American population continues to grow rapidly across the country, their educational attainment levels have not translated into commensurate gains in achieving leadership positions in businesses, so public contracting programs, in particular, still pay attention to race.
Second, diversity benefits Asian Americans because it benefits us all. While there is no evidence suggesting that the university system in question hurts the Asian American population, its holistic admissions process actually benefits Asian Americans by allowing the university to consider the diversity within Asian subgroups. There is also ample social science research that demonstrates that diversity in higher education increases cross-cultural interactions and decreases negative stereotyping—two positive outcomes that Asian Americans both contribute to and benefit from.
As our country becomes more diverse and continues to compete in an increasingly global economy, the failure to promote diversity in our institutions of higher learning will also fail to meet the needs of our future workforce and the business community. To be sure, I've heard Asian Americans argue against admissions programs that consider race, as I've also heard African Americans, Latinos, and whites argue against them as well. Instead of positing race-conscious programs as a zero-sum game that divides us, we should lift up the evidence that demonstrates diversity benefits us all and underscore the ideal at the heart of this nation—that opportunity should be expanded to all.

Minnesota Church Must Pay PCUSA Over $1.2 Million to Leave Denomination
Hope Presbyterian Church of Minneapolis voted to leave Presbyterian Church (USA) and was dismissed back in May. The financial settlement for leaving was reached in late June.
The agreement was made between Hope Presbyterian and the PCUSA regional body it once belonged to, the Presbytery of the Twin Cities Area.
In return for being allowed to leave, Hope Presbyterian must pay the presbytery the sum of $1.2 million and lose one of its campuses, named the Oliver Christian Ministry Center.
David Lenz, pastor at Hope Presbyterian, provided The Christian Post with comments on the matter, including the large cost for being granted dismissal from PCUSA.
"We had hoped for a much smaller settlement and it took time to accept that this was the price we must pay to follow what we believe to be God's call," said Lenz. "Given that, we are glad that we will be able to keep our main campus in Richfield and Camp Ojibway, the camp we own and operate in Eden Valley, MN, for approximately 10 percent of the appraised value."
Hope Presbyterian must pay for its church property due to an item known as the "Trust Clause." Found in Part II of the Constitution of the PCUSA, Section G-4.0203, the "trust clause" states that all Hope Church's property is held in trust for the benefit and use of PCUSA.
Hope Presbyterian will be joining the Evangelical Covenant of Presbyterians, a smaller more conservative Presbyterian denomination formed in 2012.
"We are excited to be joining ECO. We are deeply drawn to the excellent and eloquent statement of Essential Tenets that we will 'receive, adopt, and be bound by.' We are inspired by the spirit of innovation that permeates ECO," said Lenz.
"We look forward to being a denomination whose mission is to help congregations flourish. We anticipate being challenged by ECO to participate in church planting and formation of new worshipping communities. We value ECO's clear affirmation of women in leadership."
Founded in 1954, Hope Presbyterian boasts approximately 1200 members and about 650 in regular attendance.
In May, the congregation voted overwhelmingly to seek dismissal from PCUSA and to join ECO. It was the culmination of a process of discernment that was begun in 2012.
In a statement adopted by Hope Presbyterian's leadership, the church argued that they sought to disaffiliate from PCUSA for multiple reasons.
"When a denomination lacks a coherent theological center, mission gets sidelined. When a denomination lacks trust, relationships are difficult. When a denomination has a bureaucratic mindset, innovative ministry is hampered," read the statement adopted by the Session. "When a denomination asserts control over a congregation's property and assets, facility and asset development is compromised. We believe Hope Church would be better served in a different denominational home than the PC(U.S.A.)."
The process began not long after a majority of presbyteries in PCUSA voted to allow the ordination of non-celibate homosexuals.
In comments given to CP, Pastor Lenz spoke of the present step being the raising of funds to pay the settled amount with the presbytery.
"We will borrow this amount and engage in a fundraising campaign. This will be a huge challenge for us but we are trusting God," said Lenz.
"We look forward to moving into ECO, making new friends, and experiencing a new way of being the church."
As a member of ECO, Hope Presbyterian now falls under the conservative Presbyterian body's Presbytery of the West.
Bob Bullock, moderator of the Presbytery of the West and pastor at West Isle Presbyterian Church in Galveston, Texas, told CP about the growth the ECO regional body is experiencing.
"There are now 70 churches in the five new Presbyteries that made up the original ECO Presbytery of the West," said Bullock.
"There are roughly forty churches on their way into into ECO West at this time. Four of those will ultimately make their way into the ECO Presbytery of Texas to join the eleven congregations we presently serve."
Regarding Hope Presbyterian, Bullock told CP that ECO was "honored to have such a fine church as Hope become part of ECO."

Chanel Built a Fake Supermarket Just to Host This Fashion Show
Chanel's autumn/winter 2014 ready-to-wear runway show took place Tuesday morning inside a fake supermarket designed by creative director Karl Lagerfeld at the Grand Palais in Paris.
For many of the models and glamorous guests in attendance, it was the first time they had been inside a supermarket. They were intrigued to discover that grocery shopping takes the basic principle of shopping, as for a blue wool cape or exquisite bag of buttons, and applies it to those perishable goods laid out for grazing at parties, brunch buffets, etc.
Looking at pictures from the show offers a sensation akin to suddenly being able to understand a pack of Lhasa apsos' gossip, discovering they're all doing impressions of you, and then realizing that, even though the Lhasa apsos are obviously playing it up for comedic effect, perhaps you really do say the word "bagel" oddly? Beggle? Baygel? How do other people say it?
The New York Times described the show using words like "sporty," "merry," and "fantastic," all of which are normal ways to describe clothes you saw at the grocery store. The Guardian wrote that a "melee" broke out after the models' final lap as fashion editors scrabbled over the set's meticulously designed Chanel-themed props dressing the giant set (tuna tins marked "Délice de Gabrielle" after Coco's real name; a welcome mat; a "chainsaw" with a silver Chanel handbag chain as the saw).
Nothing to see here except two citizens grocery shopping.
Lagerfeld has a history of high (or, anyway, sprawling)-concept shows. Last October, for the fashion house's spring 2014 runway show, he constructed a giant Chanel-inspired modern art gallery in the same space.
This year, Uncle Drosselmeyer led Clara to the nut aisle.
One woman just wandered in off the street to buy food for her family. She needed one jar of anything, a big green, and one clear. Hello! she waved to all the cheeses.
Viewed from a distance, the set sort of looked like a nightmare about wandering around a grocery store in the Uncanny Valley looking for the checkout counter while a silent audience watches you, and then you go to pull your wallet out of your Chanel bag but it's empty, so you try to reach into your pockets but they're sewn shut, and you turn to Karl Lagerfeld like, "Help me out, man" and he's a neighbor whose name escapes you.
After the runway show, attendee Rihanna had fun pretending she was in a grocery store. So chic and bright. A warehouse repository for colors. We should have them everywhere.

Address and Phone Resources
The U.S. Patriot Act requires MK/International Students at Cedarville University to report a change of address to the office of international student services within 10 days of moving.
What exactly is the rule about address reporting?
INA Section 265(a) reads, "Each alien required to be registered under this title who is within the United States shall notify the Attorney General in writing of each change of address and new address within 10 days from the date of such change and furnish with such notice such additional information as the Attorney General may require by regulation."
If you are an alien physically present within the U.S., then you are required to be registered (e.g., to have an I-94 card or similar document confirming status), and you are required to make address reports as specified in the law.
Who is an alien and why does CIS use that term?
"The term 'alien' means any person not a citizen or national of the United States." That definition is very direct and clear. You acquire U.S. citizenship by being born in the U.S. or to U.S. parents or by naturalizing. You become a national of the U.S. by being born in one of the outlying possessions of the United States or to parents who are nationals of the U.S. If you have F, J, H, O, TN, or LPR ("green card") status or any other immigration document allowing you to be in the U.S., then you are considered to be an "alien" under the legal definition.
I know that I have filled in my address on lots of forms, but why haven't I heard about this direct reporting requirement before? If CIS has not been maintaining its address files and has not been enforcing the law, then why should I start reporting my address now?
The law is the law, and even though CIS may not have enforced it in the past, Congress and law enforcement are now very interested in aliens in the U.S. It is a good idea to know your responsibilities and comply with the law.
How do I report my address? Where do I send it?
During an academic semester, you can fulfill your address reporting obligation by completing the Cedarville University Change of Address Form and mailing it to the Cedarville University registrar or dropping it by the registrar's office within 10 days of your move.
During the lengthy school breaks, you should also report your address on form AR-11. DHS-CIS posts this form on its website. It loads in Adobe as a fillable form, so you may fill it out online, print it, and mail it to the office of international student services at Cedarville University. You must sign the form. When you complete your address report, please print an extra copy and send it to the office of international student services at 251 N. Main Street, Founders Hall, Room 305, Cedarville, OH 45314. That will help us keep your address current here as well.
I do not like the idea of reporting my address to CIS. What happens if I just refuse to do it?
INA Section 266(b) states, "Any alien or any parent or legal guardian in the United States of any alien who fails to give written notice to the Attorney General shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined not to exceed $200 or be imprisoned not more than 30 days, or both. Irrespective of whether an alien is convicted and punished as herein provided, an alien who fails to give written notice to the Attorney General, as required, shall be taken into custody and removed in the manner provided by chapter 4 of this title, unless such alien establishes to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such failure was reasonably excusable or was not willful." Willful failure to register is punishable by imprisonment not to exceed six months and a fine of not more than $1000 or both.
In short, if you make a choice or decision not to report, a willful act, then DHS-CIS has the authority to charge you with a crime, fine you, imprison you, and then deport you. In practice DHS-CIS has not used this violation alone to deport someone, but DHS-CIS can add this to a list of violations, such as overstay or unauthorized work, when they are building a case for deportation.
What if I did not know about this rule and have not reported my address, or if I forgot and report late? What will CIS do?
The CIS, through the office of the Attorney General, has the authority to forgive such failures provided the failure to report "was reasonably excusable or was not willful." That means that you need to report properly and promptly, but that DHS-CIS will generally not take an action against you just because you missed a deadline or didn't know you needed to report, provided that you act in good faith and send the report once you know you have to report or realize you have missed the deadline.
I may be moving around a lot. My box number is the most accurate address to reach me. Why does CIS want to know every time I move?
Members of Congress and CIS and other government agencies have indicated to schools that they want to know where aliens live, including students, so that they can find them if necessary.
I am just a student. I study. I am not doing anything wrong. Why would CIS or any other law enforcement agent want to find me?
There could be many reasons. The most common, of course, have to do with events, such as terrorist acts, that cause the government to launch investigations.

The 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division cased its colors Thursday on Fort Stewart's Cottrell Field.
Casing of the colors is a military tradition that symbolizes the unit's readiness to deploy. The team of approximately 2,200 soldiers will provide support and training to the Afghan National Security Forces as they continue to improve their ability and leadership in operations.
Col. Kimo C. Gallahue, commander of 4th IBCT, started by asking the audience at the ceremony to join him in applauding the brigade's soldiers for everything they have done in preparation for their deployment to eastern Afghanistan.
"Now we case our colors for a fourth time, deploying to combat in a period of critical transition in Afghanistan," Gallahue said. "The soldiers before you … are volunteers who stand ready and willing to go to a dangerous place, at great personal risk, to defend our freedom and our way of life."
Soldiers in 4th IBCT also are confident in their training. First Lt. Christopher P. O'Neal, a native of Honesdale, Pa., and a platoon leader in Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, 76th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th IBCT, said, "Our training we have conducted here will help downrange by teaching the Afghan soldiers to be able to do certain tasks on their own, so that's our main focus."
This will be O'Neal's first deployment.
Gallahue also recognized the soldiers of the 4th IBCT who will not deploy.
"Along with the loved ones we leave behind, we also have a sizeable home detachment who will be under the able command of Lt. Col. Lee Overby and Command Sgt. Maj. Joseph Goodwater. These soldiers are no less valuable to the Vanguard Brigade, the Marne Division and our nation," Gallahue said. "The soldiers on home detachment will continue to train and maintain their equipment, and like their comrades deployed, they will continue to take care of each other as brothers and sisters in arms."
Brig. Gen. John H. Hort, 3rd ID deputy commander-rear, was the presiding officer for the 4th IBCT color-casing ceremony. He spoke highly of the Vanguard Brigade.
"I have the utmost confidence that this brigade — just like the other sister brigades that have preceded them — will make a lasting difference in accepting the mission for sustaining success in Afghanistan," he said.
This will not be the Vanguard Brigade's first deployment, though it will be their first time in Afghanistan. The brigade has seen three deployments to Iraq since its activation in 2004. The first was less than a year later, in March 2005, assuming responsibility of the Multi-National Division Baghdad, an area that previously was occupied by two brigades. October 2007 saw the Vanguard Brigade deploy to the Multi-National Division- Center during the final stages of surge operations. July 2010 saw the Vanguards back in Iraq's Al Anbar province, strengthening Iraqi security forces.

When we have your permission, we will send you marketing communications from us or from our Franchisor Bridle Group.

We will only allow third parties or other members of our company or Franchisor Hanborough Enterprises Limited trading as Bridle Group to send marketing communications to you when we have agreed marketing from third parties.
We will respect your choice as to what communications you wish to receive and how these are sent.

You may also stop any further text messages by replying with the word "STOP". We aim to action requests to stop being sent marketing communications within 10 working days of receiving those requests, but it is possible you will receive some marketing in the period prior to that change being made.
Please note that if you tell us that you do not wish to be sent further marketing communications, you will still receive service communications (as described above) which are necessary. If you ask us to stop sending marketing communications, please note we will retain your personal information for the purposes of indicating that you do not want to receive marketing communications.

It will be necessary for us and our Franchisor, Hanborough Enterprises Limited trading as Bridle Group and companies within Hanborough Enterprises Limited to use your personal information to complete a contract that you have made with us.

We share information with them, so they can assist us in providing services to you and to understand more about you.

Your personal information may be sent to and stored by us and third parties in countries outside the country in which you are located and outside the European Economic Area and the UK. This may also be the case for your vehicle finance provider and/or ancillary service provider. You will need to check with them if you have a concern.
Where your personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area or the UK because we are using a service provider in a third country, we will implement safeguards so that your personal information continues to be protected to the standards set out in this privacy policy. If your data is sent to other countries, you may have fewer rights under their local laws.
We may, from time to time, expand or reduce our business and this may involve the sale and/or the transfer of control of all or part of our business. Any personal data that you have provided will, where it is relevant to any part of our business that is being transferred, be transferred along with that part and the new owner or newly controlling party will, under the terms of this Privacy Policy, be permitted to use that data only for the same purposes for which it was originally collected by us.

The Secret Beyond Matter
Stories for Thinking Children 1
It's Important to Follow the Good Word
Anas was a nice, well-behaved and hard-working boy. For some reason, his father had to move to another city, and Anas had to leave all his friends behind.
Shortly after Anas and his parents moved to their new apartment, the neighbors in the building came to visit. Anas was very happy because there were several children of his age. Anas liked his new friends a lot, and in time they became very close. But there was a younger boy in the group named Irfan who would always interrupt the games they were playing because he always wanted them to play what he wanted; and if he didn't get his own way, he would be cross with them.
One day, when all the boys were playing in the garden, Irfan joined them. They were playing with a new toy of Anas's. Irfan's arrival made everyone uneasy because they knew that whenever he joined in a game there would always be an argument. So, this time, the boys didn't let him play with them. Irfan became very angry; he took Anas's new toy, threw it on the ground and broke it. Anas was very upset, and he and his friends started to argue with Irfan. Uncle Afsar heard the noise of the boys' voices and looked out the window. Grandpa Afsar loved the boys very much, always took an interest in them and often talked to them about the existence of Allah, the blessings He gives and the acts of worship that He commands. When he saw the boys arguing, he immediately came down to join them. Irfan was crying. The boys told Uncle Afsar what was going on and then they all sat down in the garden to talk.
Anas explained what had happened: "Uncle Afsar, my friends and I always get along well together and play without fighting. But Irfan always ruins our fun, and we don't want to be friends with him anymore."
"But they don't do what I want," Irfan complained.
Uncle Hanif then said: "Come on boys! We all want to feel good and lead a secure life and to find friendship and happiness where we can. But it's not enough to desire these things. And we can't wait for someone else to give them to us. Feeling good in a safe environment and making good friendships require special effort and self-sacrifice. If everyone insisted on having only what they wanted and thought of themselves rather than giving in to others, there would only be unhappiness and arguments among us. But believers who fear Allah behave differently; they are patient, forgiving and don't insist on having their own way. Even when someone wrongs them, they don't take offense; they put the well-being of others before their own wishes and do the best they can not to upset those around them. This is a characteristic of the superior moral behavior that Allah has commanded His servants to practice."
Anas asked: "OK, Uncle Hanif. If a bully comes up to us and uses bad words, what should we do then?"
Uncle Hanif answered: "Of course, we must act as Allah has commanded. Allah tells us how in the Qur'an:
A good action and a bad action are not the same. Repel the bad with something better and, if there is enmity between you and someone else, he will be like a bosom friend. (Surah Fussilat: 34)
Our Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, also advises Muslims to treat good to others in a hadith as follows: '… Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them…' (Muslim)"
The boys then said thank you to Uncle Hanif and promised to do their best to get along with one another in the future.
Where Does The Humility of Believers Come From?
In the Qur'an, Allah commands believers to be humble. Our Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, also states in one of his hadiths as follows:
"Allah has revealed to me that you should humble yourselves to one another. One should neither hold himself above another nor transgress against another.'' (Muslim)
Believers are those who know that Allah created everything, that all things belong to Him and that it is He Who gives to human beings their every blessing. For this reason, no matter how good-looking, rich, intelligent or respected they may be, they never become arrogant. The Qur'an tells us that believers are humble:
The servants of the All-Merciful are those who walk on the earth in humility and, who, when the ignorant speak to them, say, "Peace." (Surat al-Furqan: 63)
Allah announces the good news to the believers of the reward for this good morality:
… Your God is One God so submit to Him. Give good news to the humble-hearted. (Surat al-Hajj: 34)
How can We Remember Allah?
Believers know that Allah sees and hears them at every moment and that He creates everything that happens to them. Every moment of their lives they remember to think about Him. They do this by trying their best to keep Allah in their minds, to know that He has created everything and every event that comes their way, to consider what meaning He intends for them in these events, to try to understand the hidden meaning of creation, and they tell other people about all these things. Allah tells us in the Qur'an that believers remember Him at all times:
[People with intelligence are] those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the Earth [saying]: "Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire." (Surah Al 'Imran: 191)
In a hadith, the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, describes the remembrance of Allah as below:
Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, stated: "As my servant thinks about Me so will I be for him. I am with him if he will remember Me. If he calls on Me in himself I will call him in Myself, and if he calls on Me in a group of people, I mention him in a better group in My Presence. If he approaches Me one handspan, I will approach him one arm's length; if he approaches Me one arm's length, I will approach him by a cubit; if he comes to Me walking, I will come to him running." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Primetime Emmy Awards 2012 Live Blog (Winners and Commentary) - MAD MEN 0 for 17
7:57 p.m.: The ceremony is starting soon. The red carpet shows were not that entertaining for me, but E! was definitely better than ABC. What did you think?
8:00: The show opens with a video "Backstage: Twenty Minutes Ago." Several female nominees are in the ladies room in robes. They just found Jimmy Kimmel hidden in a bathroom stall upset about his bad botox job.
8:02: The women "punched" his face until it looked normal? Then Jimmy realizes he didn't have pants on. Ellen DeGeneres shows up and gives him her pants.
8:04: I didn't really laugh during the opening segment. Jimmy just walked out on stage.
8:06: A Chick-Fil-A/GLEE joke.

Disappointed Maggie Smith didn't come to accept her award.ReplyDelete
I actually got to watch the whole thing this year (usually I'm asleep or on my way to work). I guess the timing was off on maybe including John Ingle from GH but they did have Al Freeman, Jr. on the Memoriam segment (no OLTL logo though). Great to hear ATWT during the announcer's portion of Julianne Moore's journey to the stage. I thought it was kind of inventive to use the director/writer presentations as a what-would-you-do or whats-it-like-for-you format instead of the boring rushed run-through of names. BTW Roger, this YouTube video (watch?v=qfoqKt4BAPg) has the Memoriam segment but doesn't include Ron Howard's tribute to Andy Griffith part first.ReplyDelete
Julianne Moore won in 1988 not 1998 for ATWT.ReplyDelete

Coltrane's A Love Supreme: Live in Amsterdam reissue from the Branford Marsalis Quartet out now and available on vinyl for the very first time Read more »
A conversation with Branford Marsalis
Publication: Cincinnati.com
Author: Janelle Gelfand
Date: March 14, 2013
Yesterday, I sat down for a talk with saxophonist Branford Marsalis, who was backstage at Music Hall, getting ready to go to CCM to meet with students. He's in a residency this week, and his activities include school visits and a performance in Friday's "Classical Roots" concert in Music Hall. He was intellectual, thoughtful and pleasant as he talked.
Here are a few things that were on his mind:
Surprises about Cincinnati: Snow in mid-March was surprising and depressing. I watch enough baseball to know that in April, they're out there freezing to death. It was 60 degrees when I left N. Carolina.
I was surprised when I first got here about what a prominent role the arts play. In so many cities, the arts are things they are trying to expunge and slash. We live in an era where there is no differentiation between arts and entertainment. To actually see a city that is focusing on the arts and making it a major role in the development of their children, it's amazing.
The former Tonight Show bandleader's return last month to the show: It was a homecoming. It's been four or five years. In TV, five seconds is long. For me, I don't gain anything by going back. People who stay up and watch TV at 12:30 a.m. don't run out the next day and buy a CD. For me, it was a personal homecoming to see Jay and see friends, and I have a lot of friends.
Family genes: Despite the myth in my family, we're the second generation, so we're really no dynasty to speak of. When you consider in New Orleans, I can think of 10 families where there are fourth and fifth generation musicians. Those are dynastic, to me. I don't think any of our kids – Wynton's kids don't play, Delfeayo's kids don't play, Jason's kids are too young – my 12-year-old daughter, she's got the talent, she's got the ear. If that's what she wants to do she could probably be good at it.
On crossing over from classical to jazz: I think that it's kind of like being a translator, someone who knows a lot of languages. The hard part is knowing the languages. … Translators just flip the switch and do it. The hard part was acquiring the switch.
I had the advantage growing up in New Orleans that so many musicians played by ear there. So I was always around guys that weren't reading (music), and then I was around guys that were reading, because I played in orchestras as well. But in order to be a successful musician, you have to kind of jettison that way of thinking.
The information is not the thing that moves the listener, or the musician. It is the thing that cannot be explained, and you have to find a way to get to that, because you're using sound to create emotion. Which you won't find in a book.
"Music is the ultimate spatial experience": My experience has taught me that all higher learning is spatial. We have different words for it — experience, intuition — but what we are talking about is what people do where they can solve a problem without consulting a manual, and that is spatial learning. From an early age, when you join an orchestra, you have to learn to play in tune…
Intonation, the concept of time, counting and playing along with others, all these things are spatial. Football players have developed a kind of spatial instinct.
I was reading a book by Walter Isaacson on Einstein. His point was that Einstein's ideas were not revolutionary — he had the same information that other scientists had. But when he looked at the data, he saw things that other scientists had missed. And that's the same thing as Michael Jordan, or other great players or musicians – you find things in the data that other people don't hear and don't see.
"Failure is the pathway to success": I don't really have generic career advice. Because what I would tell someone who is more talented is different from what I tell someone who is less talented — at this point in time.
The one thing I would say to kids is, only focus on the things you can control. … The only thing you can control is your work ethic and you living up to the best of your natural ability, and then pushing yourself beyond that.
Always work hard and don't be afraid to fail, which is something that a lot of kids, their definition of success is not to fail. Which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. What they would tend to do is stop trying things they were good at, so they wouldn't fail. Well to me, the map of success is paved with failure. Don't be afraid to fail. Failure is the pathway to success.

There are now three special elections for Wisconsin Assembly seats between now and the end of the year. Dates were set today for replacing Assembly Republican Jeff Stone of Greendale, who has stepped down to take a new job with the state Public Service Commission. Candidates for Stone's seat can start circulating nomination papers today. They must be filed by 5 pm next Tuesday. A primary, if needed, would be held November 19th, with a general election December 17th.
Meanwhile, primaries for the other two Assembly seats will be held a week from today. In central Wisconsin, five people are running for the seat given up by Republican Scott Suder. Four are Republicans — Scott Noble and Alanna Feddick of Marshfield, Tommy Dahlen of Granton, and Bob Kulp of Stratford. That winner will face Democrat Ken Slezak of Neillsville November 19th.
There's also a GOP primary next Tuesday for the Assembly post given up by Mark Honadel of South Milwaukee. Five Republicans are on the ballot — Ken Gehl, Jason Red Arnold, Terry Gamble, Jessie Rodriguez, and Chris Kujawa. The primary winner faces Democrat Elizabeth Coppola on November 19th.
