Youth Gathering
The DARE to CARE Youth Gathering
On Thursday 13 October from 3 to 6 pm, 200 young people aged 16 to 25 will meet in Oslo to explore together the science of empathy and compassion, how these qualities can be cultivated, and what benefits such qualities bring to the modern world.
This year for the first time, the Youth Gathering will be streamed internationally to English-speakers.
Young people will meet with outstanding scientists, psychologists, and other change makers, including Stanford University neurosurgeon James Doty, mental health professor Paul Gilbert, international peace-maker Scilla Elworthy, and call-for-care activist Brooke Dodson-Lavelle.
This 4th Youth Gathering, which previously took place in London and San Francisco, precedes the professional conference Empathy and Compassion in Society.
We would like to hear from secondary schools and universities interested in the streaming.

We have a wooden toy stable & set of nativity figures which include the 3 Kings & at the beginning of Advent we set up the empty stable with just the animals & the empty manger.
Any star decoration (or printout) would work for this Advent activity. We recently found this battery operated light in M&S which we're using this year, but a glow in the dark star would work just as well.
Attached to the star each day will be a piece of paper. On one side will be part of a picture, on the other side a challenge/activity for the day. I printed out the image below & cut it into 25 pieces to create a puzzle. When we get to Christmas Day & all the puzzle pieces are together they'll create this beautiful picture of the Nativity by Pauline Siewart.
Our activities this year are:
1. Make an Angel (& explore where they appear in the Christmas Story).
2. Make a Christmas card for a neighbour
3. Bake Christmas cookies & leave on someones doorstep
4. Phone/Skype a long distance relative & sing a Christmas song together.
5. Make a cotton wool sheep to remember the shepherds (read about the shepherds in a Children's bible Luke 2:1-20)
6. Make a crown to remember the 3 Kings on their journey (read about the 3 Kings in a Children's bible)
7. Go star gazing & see if you can see the brightest star in the sky!
8. Feed the animals/birds in the garden (& remember the donkey & other animals in the Nativity story)
9. Cuddle up & read a Nativity storybook by the lights of the Christmas tree before bed
10. Make a dove of peace to hang in the house (& say a prayer for peace in the World)
11. Make a gift for a friend
12. Invite friends round for picnic tea (reflecting hospitality & welcome at Christmas)
13. Light a candle to remember someone special (look at how the light of the candle brightens the darkness)
14. Make/buy sweet teats for someone living on their own (remembering the 3 Kings & their gifts)
15. Dress up as a Nativity character
16. Decorate the toy stable & add the Mary & Joseph figures
17. Make a card for a family member telling them why they're special
18. Go to a carol service
19. Write a Christmas prayer/wish & hang it on the Christmas tree
20. Decorate our Advent / Christmas tree
21. Invite an elderly friend to share the Christingle service with us.
22. Make a donkey puppet & go on a journey together around the garden/park
23. Invite your Mary & Joseph figures to sit with you at your dinner table & share a meal
24. Wrap a special present under the tree for Daddy
25. Happy Christmas Jesus is born! Sing happy birthday to Jesus!
I'm looking forward to starting our star hunt with the Kings on December 1st, & following their journey through to Christmas Day.

text: The unparalleled Swedish giants of modern metallic d-beat, Martyrdod, return with their sixth full-length of endlessly fascinating, devastatingly different crust, List, once again through Southern Lord, as with 2012's Paranoia and 2014's Elddop. Their calling card of lamenting melodies churned out at breakneck pace has become more and more pronounced with each new record, and now on List, Martyrdod has elevated to a new artistic highpoint. The combination of crisp Scandinavian metal distortion and intricate, folk-like guitar leads contribute to a record that feels like one for the ages – very much like the fearsome, In Extremis.

A Week of UNBELIEVABLE!
I've had the most unbelievable week!
Sunday began the week wonderfully with a visit to Sam Paniagua, hairdresser to the stars. When I was little, I had hair all the way down to my butt and other little girls loved playing with it, braiding and unbraiding it or just brushing it. Ever since, I've always found that extremely relaxing. Having Sam do my hair brings back my childhood that way. I love when he plays with my hair because it is always so beautiful when he's done.
On Monday evening, I did my first modeling job. OK, OK, I'm no model. I leave that sort of thing to my beautiful friends like Warren Carlyle. I did get to be the focus of attention, and extremely pampered, when I agreed to be the test subject for a demonstration of the line of NuSkin products my dear friend April Monterrosa is now carrying at The Lil Spa Room. I'm so proud of April. She started The Lil Spa Room as a side hustle, you know, those little side businesses we all hope will take off so we can quit the rat race? Well, April provides such wonderful spa services that she was finally able to take The Lil Spa Room full-time. Later that evening, I had the pleasure of enjoying a margarita at Costa Pacifica with some other friends. Netta, Sandra, Lisa and Rissy were wonderful company and it was a lovely evening to relax on the patio.
Tuesday was a day to catch up on some social media and website work for clients. I love my job!
Wednesday was my meeting with Moris at Costa Pacifica, one of my social media marketing clients. I always love visiting with Moris. His whole family is involved in the business and they are all the most gregarious and friendly people to meet. Moris and his family have been happy with my work and I've been blessed to be able to do it and become friends with these dynamic people. I'm hoping to work with them on this and other projects for a long time to come.
Yesterday, I had a meeting with a local tequila distributor that was referred to me by Moris. They're about to launch a great line of tequilas, featuring six amazing flavors. Of course I had to test them and they all received the Lisa Pietsch seal of approval! Seriously, I LOVE my job! I'm definitely looking forward to working with this company and hope they'll accept my proposal.
Today…ah, today is a tricky one.
It could be quiet or
It could be the beginning of something that will change my life forever.
But that could be any day, couldn't it?

We've heard rumors of the T-Mobile G2, but we're always weary of such speculation until we get the official word from the carriers or cell phone manufacturer. However, the likelihood of a
In an interview with Fierce Wireless, Neville Ray, T-Mobile's senior VP of engineering, revealed that the carrier is planning to release more 3G-capable smartphones and Google Android devices in 2009. "As the year progresses there will be a significant number of HSPA-capable smartphones. We will be launching more G series phones and other products," Ray said. He also added that T-Mobile would be a launching a "data card" product in the coming weeks and months.
T-Mobile, which is already struggling for U.S. subscribers, will face some stiff competition this time around, though. Unlike the G1, which was the first and only Google Android smartphone to be released in 2008, there are a number of device manufacturers and carriers expected to release Android phones in 2009, including Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Garmin, and

The legend of Miljenko i Dobrila
The legend of Miljenko i Dobrila
Kaštel Lukšić
August 4, 2017 – Opening ceremony of the program "Legend about Miljenko and Dobrila" / in front of the Vitturi Castle – Kaštel Lukšić 21.30 h
Theater play "Miljenko and Dobrila" Script: M. Kažotić / Dinko Morović, Directed and adapted by: Mladenka Gruica
The play will be performed by actors of the Kaštela Theater along with their colleagues, visiting actors from other amateur societies. The Cultural and Artistic Society Ante Zaninović and the Uskoks from Klis will add to the overall performance.
The play shows the social conditions and life in Kaštela at the end of the 17th century and clarifies social relations that led to the tragic fate of the young couple. The play, based on this script was performed for the first and only time in 1954 by the Cultural and Artistic Society Biranj in Kaštel Lukšić
August 6, 2017 – Children and Miljenko and Dobrila/ courtyard of the Rušinac Castle, Kaštel Lukšić 19.00 h
In the entertainment and educational program three groups of children will compete in two categories: Old games and quiz "How well do I know Miljenko and Dobrila?".
After the quiz and games, children prepare for an artistic interpretation related to the legend. Each group has to interpret a part related to the legend through their activities (song, acting dance).
August 7, 2017 – Baroque music soirée and arias from the opera Miljenko and Dobrila/Parish Church Kaštel Lukšić 21.00 h
Performed by: Choir from Poland Con fuoco, soloists of the Ante Ivić Opera Studio
This program takes us back to the time of Baroque, the time of Miljenko and Dobrila and customs of the aristocracy they belonged to. The concert of the Choir Con fuoco from Pszczyna, friendship city Kaštela, will mark the 20th anniversary of friendship between these two towns.
Young opera singers of the Ante Ivić Opera Studio will add to the quality of program by performing arias from Milovoj Koludrović's opera "Miljenko and Dobrila".
The concert will take place in the baroque parish church in Kaštel Lukšić, courtesy of Vicar Stipan Šurlin, supporting thus the project about Miljenko and Dobrila.
August 9, 2017 – Dobrila's Music Soirées / Vitturi Park, Kaštel Lukšić 21.00 h
Guests: klapa Neverin and Zorica Kondža
The cream of the crop of this year's summer music events will be a program as a tribute to Dobrila in Vitturi Park. Role of women in society in the past until the present will be considered through Dobrila's destiny which is a view point for looking at a woman as a mother, food provider, backbone of the family, often disempowered and deprived of deciding about her own destiny. The most beautiful songs about a woman will be performed in honor of Dobrila.
August 10, 2017 – Festival of love drinks
Within the event "Legend about Miljenko and Dobrila", the Kaštela Tourist Board, for the first time organizes the Festival of love drinks. It is a catering-gastronomic event whose aim is to promote different types of original liqueurs, brandies and spirits. The love story about Miljenko and Dobrila thus assumes an economic aspect offering an opportunity to small-scale producers and family run farms to present their products, both to locals and their guests.
All interested exhibitors will be provided a sales point for presenting one "love drink" with an original name and benefits designed for this occasion. During the evening visitors will be able to taste the chosen drink against a fee, and all exhibitors are entitled to sell other products at promotional prices.
Throughout the evening, the entertainment program will be led by Damir Mihanović – Čubi, "Master of ceremony", and besides the music program for adults, there will be programs for children, too: acrobatic-juggling show of count Motika and his court jester, acrobat show with fire and storytelling by the fire for children and adults.

Guided Tour of the Louvre
Paris City Tour, Louvre Tour and Cruise of the Seine
Unquestionably one of the world's great museums, the Louvre is a magnificent setting for some of history's greatest works of art.
Having a Guide to lead you through this vast museum and to help you discover the wonders of this great world treasure makes the experience much easier and more rewarding.
The Louvre Museum Tour covers the major works and many of the lesser known but important pieces. The building itself is a treasure and our tour covers its history and its construction which has spanned over seven centuries.
One word of advice: you can't see everything in one day. However, our tour allows you to intimately enjoy some of history's greatest works of art while experiencing the grandeur of this museum and its immense collection.
Because of the crowds, you may want the Louvre Museum tour to begin early. The entrance ticket is good for the entire day allowing you to exit and re-enter the museum as you wish.
Also, the Louvre is open Wednesday and Friday evenings until 9:30 p.m. Crowds are much less in the evening and the museum takes on a more tranquil quality at night. The entrance fee is also reduced after 6 p.m..
For further information on the Louvre, go to our Louvre Museum page for some history of the building, some information about the collection, museum hours, admission prices, practical information and other services.

Welcome to: James Russell Publishing
What You Need to Know About Muslims
Everything you read here is true. What you don't know about Muslims will harm you!
1. You will never see a Muslim child playing along with non-Muslim children. Muslims consider all non-Muslims as "infidels" worthy of death. That is precisely what their Qur'an (Koran) teaches all Muslims. You need to read the Qur'an... I boiled it down to one page "Islam - The Terrible Religion of War" click here. Read the Qur'an for yourself.
"Muslims use the threat of terror to silence the media and the citizens with fear and intimidation and it works, then the Muslims go to work to destroy the nation and take it over for Islam. Silence is a weapon of mass destruction in the Muslims' hand."
2. Muslims despise dogs. You will not see a Muslim family even pet a neighbor's dog. The Muslim considers the dog to be a filthy animal like pigs and not to be touched or it will defile them. So the Muslim next door will not pet your dog for they will despise it just as they will despise you for being an infidel non-Muslim. Keep your dog on a leash!
"The word Islam means submission!"
3. Muslims will not integrate into society when they immigrate into a non-Muslim country. They will always form micro-communities full of Muslims with their own criminal element with cruel Muslim Sharia and Muslim Blasphemy laws with Honor Killings.
4. Muslims will build a mosque and will teach their Qur'an to the Muslim children and any new converts. Will these converts be radicalized? If you read the Qur'an you will discover there is no such thing as a non-radicalized Muslim. They will be taught to hate Jews, Christians and everyone who is not a Muslim and they will be encouraged to enslave, tax and kill them. Now you know why Muslim children are not permitted to be friends with your children.
"I read the Qur'an and I was shocked at what this so-called religion teaches hatred, war, slavery, submission, death and misery to all who are not Muslims. The Qur'an teaches the Muslim to take over the world for Allah and to kill the infidels to do so. This is not a peaceful religion it is a war machine. You need to read the Qur'an and tell others what is really going on."
5. The Muslim Qur'an teaches that a Muslim can not be a friend of any non-Muslims. Now you know why you don't see Muslims hanging out with you or other non-Muslims in society. Islam is a religion of hatred toward all non-Muslims (the Qur'an says so!). It never says to love non-Muslims.
6. There are illegal alien Muslims in every country in the world. The Mohammadans (Muslims) move in to plant Islamic communities within a nation with a specific goal to eventually take over that nation (yes, it is in the Qur'an). You are seeing this "take-over" in Sweden, Europe and the United Kingdom and in Africa and now in the USA. It all begins with one Muslim moving into a neighborhood and soon the neighborhood residents are selling and moving out. Don't believe it? Just watch it happen before your very eyes when the Muslims arrive in your town! Suddenly a huge Islamic presence is in town expanding and growing rapidly. They will not assimilate, they will want their own Islamic laws to be enacted, then the demonstrations and terror begins.
"Muslims are always unhappy. Always angry. Always upset. Never satisfied."
7. Islamic women will walk around in your town as if they are in a Muslim nation. They will wear Islamic clothing. They will not be like the typical American woman in high-heels and fashionable clothing.
8. Suddenly, you will see Islamic terrorist activities in and around the Mosque and in the Muslim community. No wonder considering what they teach inside those Mosques! No religion in the world except Islam actively teaches hatred for people and to conduct acts of terrorism! Only Islam "commands" Muslims to convert infidels to Islam or kill them. Islam teaches Muslims to take over nations and destroy those nations for Islam.
9. Ignorant people believe Muslims serve and worship the same God as other religions. This is not true. Muslims serve Allah who is the Islamic Moon God. He is not the God of the Bible.
"Politicians are baffled when Muslims riot and commit terrorist acts, but if they read the Qur'an it would be clear as day as to what Muslims do and terrorist attacks would be expected. A good Muslim must wage Jihad against all unbelievers. Problem is, politicians are ignorant of the evil ways of Islam confounding them into vulnerable positions of trusting the enemy in the gates of the city."
10. Muslims are taught to despise everyone who loves the Holy Bible. It is in their Qur'an.
11. Our deceived politicians and news media are stubborn fools. They keep teaching that Islam is a loving and peaceful religion. One only need read the Qur'an to expose this horrific lie! Don't be fooled. Islam is dangerous to the people of the entire world.
12. Watch the news on television and keep your eyes peeled on terrorist activity. It will be Islamic related in one way or another. Jihad is "on" and has been turned on for hundreds of years. This war is a Jihad religious war of Muslims demanding local, regional and world dominance. Yes, the Qur'an teaches Muslims must "enslave" "tax" "kill" the non-Muslim and take over the entire world for Allah. The very word Islam means "submission" and if you do not submit Muslim terrorism will haunt you until you do.
"Muslims cry out, 'Death to America! Death to the Great Satan!' because they hate this non-Muslim country."
13. Most Muslims in the world live in deep poverty and are sorely uneducated and are taught by their religious leaders (Imam's) horrific things about Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims according to their Qur'an. They use these poor souls to indoctrinate their poisonous hatred to such degrees they will commit suicide for Allah. Yes, they are taught that to kill you the killer will go to heaven! No other religion teaches such atrocities. Many believe Islam is not a true religion for it condones horrific bloodshed of innocent people, the chopping off of heads and crucifixion of all non-Muslims... and that means, YOU!
14. Traveling to any Islamic nation is absolute stupidity. There you will have no rights and Muslims will kidnap you and cut your head off which they do in a slow and painful manner. They do it often enough to alarm the sensible man to not travel in Islamic areas. You have been warned. There are videos on the Internet showing Americans being kidnapped, hog-tied and slowly beheaded with a knife with the man or woman screaming in horror. To a Muslim, this is good and acceptable and commanded to be performed by the Qur'an. In London, England citizens can't even enter Muslim communities without fear of being attacked. They let the Muslims in and now the Muslim is taking over.
"There is no possible way a Muslim can honestly recite the Oath of Allegiance to be a US citizen. Islam's beliefs is based on the Qur'an which is 100% contrary to... 'that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;...' so how come Muslims are still infiltrating the USA? Who is allowing the Muslims to immigrate here as false citizens who can not honor or even faithfully take the Oath of Allegiance to this nation? Think about that!"
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
"The Muslim is bearing arms against the United States when he donates money to support Muslim Jihad as the Qur'an commands him to do so. Islam is not compatible to the US Constitution. It is not a true religion, it is a religion in disguise as a political power with world submission to Islam and Muslim domination as its goal."
15. Don't you fall for these Islamic sympathizers saying Islam is a wonderful and loving religion. It is anything but sheer monstrous hatred of all non-Muslims. Don't you believe it when Muslims say terrorists have hijacked their religion, that Islam is a peaceful religion. Nonsense! Read the Qur'an for yourself. It is the Muslim holy book. Any Muslim who is not out killing non-Muslims is not a real Muslim according to the Qur'an, but is an apostate Muslim (a Muslim who does not obey the Qur'an). A terrorist is a "good Muslim" and that is what the Qur'an reveals and it commands Muslims to terrorize non-Muslims in order that they will fear and submit to Muslims.
There is no way a Muslim can recite with honesty the common American Pledge of Allegiance... "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The Qur'an preaches, teaches and commands disobedience to the pledge.
16. Islam is dangerous to your freedom! It is an old religion that can not co-exist in the modern world. It needs to dominate all humans on the planet for it to be satisfied. This Islamic terror will not cease as long as Muslims obey their Qur'an.
"Visit the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Website and read for yourself if a Muslim can faithfully take even this Naturalization Oath of Allegiance. They can't, according to the Qur'an, but tens of thousands of Muslim each year are still permitted to become citizens and this is wrong, wrong, wrong! Even treason to permit this!"
17. Nothing can stop the Islamic Invasion except converting Muslims to Christianity. Laugh as you may, but you will seen no other device or method under the sun that works other than a Muslim converting to Christianity. Of course, the Qur'an specifies death to anyone who turns from Islam to become a Christian. You'll never convert them all, but you can try at least to reach some as they will convert. And the one that converts may just be a future terrorist that is saved, which in turn you may even have saved your own life from his terrorist act. Gospel tracts is still a great way to reach all unsaved persons, use them!
18. The peaceful Mosque in town is not peaceful. Behind the scenes hate is preached and money changes hands which finds it way into terrorist hands to buy bullets and bombs to kill non-Muslims. Those bullets and bombs kill our soldiers and fill our cemeteries. The Qur'an teaches a non-combative Muslim must financially support combative Muslims. You need to read the Qur'an for yourself to believe what it teaches Muslims. You can get one at a public library or a used bookstore for less than a dollar. This way you are not paying retail price supporting a Muslim publisher with book sales.
"Muslims are now being elected to political positions and are swearing in holding a Qur'an in their hand instead of the traditional Holy Bible. How can this abomination happen? That Qur'an is saying to the Muslims to overthrow this nation and enslave it for Islam. Think about that. This is absurd stupidity to allow this to occur. Have we become a nation of ludicrous silent and tolerant fools?"
19. Many Muslims purchase gasoline stations and operate these successful businesses to finance their Mosque and the world domination Muslim agenda. You would be wise to walk inside these gas stations and look and ask who owns the gas station, specifically asking if Muslims own it. You can then decide to continue doing business with the Muslims or to buy your fuel elsewhere. Other Muslim businesses are budget motels, Taiwan restaurants (the Islamic Asian Muslim) liquor and variety stores, car washes and other businesses. Find out who owns these businesses before you habitually patronize them.
"Each gallon of gas you purchase from a Muslim-owned gas station may be buying a bullet for a Muslim to kill our soldiers because a Muslim must support Jihad financially according to the Qur'an. You must become conscientious and patriotic by being careful of who you are doing business with. Don't buy gas just because it is cheaper at a Muslim gas station or you will pay a heavy penalty indeed. I rather pay more for my fuel and keep my freedom and save our soldiers lives."
20. Remember, YOU are the enemy of the religion of Allah. YOU are a target by Muslims to be enslaved or killed. That is the teachings and beliefs of Muslims... all Muslims! Even the nice Muslim family that lives next door? You betcha. Just read their Qur'an to see exactly what these people believe. You will clearly see that you and your entire family are marked for death or slavery if you do not convert to become a Muslim. The Qur'an teaches it. So, do not let your guard down when you see Muslims moving into your town.
"America has a Red Cross charity and bails out and helps Muslims in their time of need such as natural disasters. But did you know that Islam has their own international Red Cross charity and they use it only for Muslims. You will never see that Muslim Red Cross in America helping non-Muslims in our time of need. Why? Because the Qur'an teaches the Muslim must despise, enslave, tax and kill non-Muslims not save them!"
21. What you read here is hate speech, but not by me. It is what the Muslims teach from their holy book the Qur'an. It is the Muslims who practice hate speech, hate teach and hateful Jihad wars. Watch the television news and you will see the Muslims murdering thousands of people, starting wars and demonstrating for more Muslim rights to continue their carnage upon the face of this earth. The truth is in the Qur'an for it demands Muslims to kill all non-Muslims. There is no such thing as a peace-loving Muslim. They may appear to be peaceful, but they are silently working for your destruction one way or another to further the cause of Islam. A Muslim is permitted to do wrong and even to do evil to obey his Qu'ran. Beware of all Muslims!
22. A Muslim joins the military in a non-Muslim country. When Muslims create acts of war against that country the Muslim soldier will claim "conscientious objector for an unjust war" because he would be now joining infidels to kill Muslims. Even though these violent Muslims are terrorists! Just look at the Ft. Hood killings and other Muslim attempts to kill US solders. So where's the justice? Did not these Muslim immigrant soldiers promise to serve? They want the money and benefits, but they will not defend America from its enemies because the enemy is a Muslim.
"Never forget devout, faithful Qur'an-loving Muslims attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon!"
Example: Naser Jason Abdo, a Muslim in the US Army, planned to assault Fort Hood soldiers at a restaurant with a bomb. In court he shouted, "Nidal Hasan - Fort Hood 2009." What does this mean? It means full well that Muslims in the military can not be trusted as they will turn traitor and attack their fellow soldiers. As you know, Nidal Hasan killed numerous soldiers at Fort Hood. Newspapers are full of these stories of Muslims killing innocent people for the religion of Islam.
23. And if you think of the world when it is finally taken over by Muslims there will be peace on Earth... think again! The Muslims kill each other with a vengeance. They hate each other! You will see in the television news these peace-loving Muslims use suicide bombing against Muslims. Where there are Muslims there is strife, poverty, slavery, death and destruction. It's because their religion condones it.
"Muslims are doomed to failure. Revelations in the Bible says the King of the South will be annihilated by a massive European counter attack."
24. If you say anything bad about a Muslim they will threaten you with death. That's how they "intimidate" the media and our politicians to say nice things about them! So, the truth is silenced so the Muslim agenda proceeds unimpeded. Be silent. Do not object as Muslims kill, kill, kill. Are you silent? Have you lost your freedom of speech for fear of Muslims?
25. What is frightening? Islam is a fast growing religion in the world and it is the most heartless, brutal and murderous religion ever created. Detroit, Michigan is the "headquarters" of Islam in the USA and now they are inviting Muslims to stage "International" Muslim events in Dearborn, Michigan and Washington DC. From Detroit they are now setting up "new" Muslim establishments all across America building Mosques (which are actually forts of conquests) as they go. This is the same pattern and system used for centuries in other countries where Muslims have "conquered" the lands for Islam. Muslims are emboldened to claim they will overrun America. What we are seeing now is just the beginning phase of the invasion of Muslims in America. Our politicians are terrified to stop this invasion. That is why they say Islam is a religion of love and peace. Don't be fooled by Muslims and spineless politicians and media sympathizers with the Muslims! If you read the Qur'an they will not be able to fool you.
"Only Islam teaches Muslims to commit horrible crimes against humanity killing innocent people including women and children. No other religion has a perpetual war upon mankind except Muslims."
26. There is a high number of "illegal Muslims" immigrating to America along with legal Muslims being allowed to immigrate by the President of the United States and Congress opening the doors to hard-core Middle East Muslims of which many have terrorist contacts and are actually terrorists themselves. In 2011 three-hundred Muslim terrorists were let into this country legally and now they are being hunted down to be deported. But why are Muslims being allowed to come here in the first place? Even Europe is warning us not to do it as they have already learned that Muslims will not integrate and try to take over the country they live in as "their Muslim country" so we need to be aware of the Muslim agenda and their real intentions. They are on a mission to dominate the world for Islam. They even admit it for it is in their Qur'an to do so for their Allah. Yes, to enslave and kill all those who are not Muslim!
"As an infidel you are the target to be killed by a Muslim!"
27. Muslims will claim that only a tiny percentage of Muslims are violent extremist terrorists and that 99% are peaceful. Of course they are peaceful when they are in the minority. That is the plan Islam uses to take the guard down of those whom they plan to conquer. It is not a small minority crying out in demonstrations "kill the Jews" and "Death to America" and entire Muslim nations doing this. It is important for you to know the truth of exactly what is a Muslim. A Muslim believes in and follows the Qur'an, their holy book. That is what a Muslim is. That Qur'an teaches horrors of murder and killing of all people who do not convert to become a Muslim. That is what a Muslim is so don't be fooled. Read the Qur'an yourself so no Muslim can trick you. A good Muslim must kill innocent people or support those who do the killing, which most Muslims prefer to do to stay low on the radar especially when living in a non-Muslim nation where laws of murder are always ready to imprison them for their crimes. Read the Qur'an! and Shout out Loud the warning to others of the dangers of Islam and Muslims. How about Muslims running through the streets in Africa with machetes chopping up people (men, woman, children, babies, elderly people) who are not Muslims? The Muslims who seek to destroy Israel are also the Muslims who want to destroy America. It is not a small minority, not at all.
"The Muslim Qur'an demands Muslims to kill Jews, Christians and all infidels!"
28. Watch how the Palestinian Muslims treat Israel. If you truly study them you will see the Muslim is not interested in anything but the complete destruction and annihilation of the state of Israel. Even when Israel offered to give the Palestinian people a state of their own, they in turn launched thousands of rockets at Israel. Peace? No, the Muslim Qur'an demands a Muslim to kill the Jew, ambush him from behind, hide behind a rock then leap on the Jew by ambush and to kill the Jews everywhere you can find them. That is the Muslim holy book's Qur'an which the so-called peaceful and loving Muslim obeys. Do you see the hypocrisy? The Qur'an also tells Muslims to kill you too! Are you a Muslim? If not you and your family is to enslaved by Muslims, taxed by Muslims and killed by Muslims. A Muslim can take your wife for his own. Their prophet Mohammad did it and that makes it legal for Muslims. You better hope Muslims do not take over America! Search on a Internet search engine the word "Sharia law." It explains how Muslims install their own laws in their own communities and do so even in American Muslim Communities, then suddenly if you insult a Muslim he can legally kill you under his law. If you hurt a Muslim's feelings he can file charges on you. That is how they by-pass a nations laws and eliminate your constitutional rights. Sharia law is being installed in communities across America. It will expand and get worse and worse.
"Any religion that actively promotes and teaches violence should be banned as an unacceptable non-religion. To let this Muslim religion into a country is for that nation swallowing deadly poison. It will kill the nation for this Muslim religion demands the death of the people who are not Muslim."
There is much more to learn about Muslims and Islam. You can purchase books that expose Islam. Read this one! We do not publish this book. It is such a good book to read we list it here so you can buy it and become wise and prepared.

29. Did you know the Bible says Muslims will utterly fail? It is in Revelation. The King of the South are Muslims who will push against Europe and this King will come against the Muslims with a fierce whirlwind and annihilate all Muslims. The Muslims will likely perform a terror attack on Europe and that will be the final straw. The Muslims fate is sealed as the Bible's prophesies has never been wrong, ever. Consider it done! But until this happens the world will be in a lot of hurt due to the Muslim agenda to take over the world by force. Terrorism will increase, expand and the suicide bombings will not end until the King of the South is stopped by Europe.
30. Read books about Islam. Chick.com has pamphlets and books that expose Islam for what it is. Amazon.com has plenty more! The information is out there for those who wish to know. JamesRussellPublishing.com does not publish any books about Islam.
"Don't be a chicken! Speak the truth! Tell it like it is! Expose all false teachers and religions! Contend for the truth! Be brave, stop being a coward!" - James Russell
31. What does the Bible say about Muslims? Amazingly a lot! Here's what the Bible says about Ishmael... The messenger then revealed more information to Hagar about her son: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He (Ishmael the first Arab who is the father of present day Muslims) will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand will be against him, and he will live in hostility towards all his brothers" Genesis 16:10-12 New International Version. Now just watch the television news and see if the Muslims are doing exactly what God said they will do. Violence is what Muslims do angering all non-Muslims and the Muslims are hostile to other Muslims! They hate each other and they hate you too!

On August 21 I am planning to perform a major update to the site. I can't give a specific time in which the update will happen other than probably sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. (Central Time, USA). There is a very small chance that a prior commitment will interfere with this and if so the update will be rescheduled for a later date.
I have spent the better part of the last year or so rebuilding the site from the ground up and the result should (hopefully) lead to quicker load times for the pages and for a better experience on mobile platforms. For the most part the update should be seamless for you with a couple of potential exceptions. I have tried to set things up so that there should be next to no down time on the site. However, if you are the site right as the update happens there is a small possibility that you will get a "server not found" type of error for a few seconds before the new site starts being served. In addition, the first couple of pages will take some time to load as the site comes online. Page load time should decrease significantly once things get up and running however.
This topic is given its own section for a couple of
reasons. First, understanding direction
fields and what they tell us about a differential equation and its solution is
important and can be introduced without any knowledge of how to solve a
differential equation and so can be done here before we get into solving them. So, having some information about the
solution to a differential equation without actually having the solution is a
nice idea that needs some investigation.
Next, since we need a differential equation to work with,
this is a good section to show you that differential equations occur naturally
in many cases and how we get them.
Almost every physical situation that occurs in nature can be described
with an appropriate differential equation.
The differential equation may be easy or difficult to arrive at
depending on the situation and the assumptions that are made about the
situation and we may not ever be able to solve it, however it will exist.
The process of describing a
physical situation with a differential equation is called modeling. We will be looking
at modeling several times throughout this class.
One of the simplest physical situations to think of is a
falling object. So let's consider a
falling object with mass m and derive
a differential equation that, when solved, will give us the velocity of the
object at any time, t. We will assume that only gravity and air
resistance will act upon the object as it falls. Below is a figure showing the forces that
will act upon the object.
Before defining all the terms in this problem we need to set
some conventions. We will assume that
forces acting in the downward direction are positive forces while forces that
act in the upward direction are negative.
Likewise, we will assume that an object moving downward (i.e. a falling object) will have a positive
Now, let's take a look at the forces shown in the diagram
above. where
g is the acceleration due to
gravity. In this class I use g = 9.8 m/s2 or g = 32 ft/s2 depending on
whether we will use the metric or British system. is
the force due to air resistance and for this example we will assume that it is
proportional to the velocity, v, of
the mass. Therefore the force due to air
resistance is then given by γ and v
are positive and the force is acting upward and hence must be negative. The "
Recall from the previous section that Newton's Second Law of motion can be written
where F(t,v) is
the sum of forces that act on the object and may be a function of the time t and the velocity of the object, v.
For our situation we will have two forces acting on the object gravity, , acting in the upward
direction and hence will be negative.
Putting all of this together into Newton's Second Law gives the following.
To simplify the differential equation let's divide out the
mass, m.
This then is a first order linear differential equation
that, when solved, will give the velocity, v
(in m/s), of a falling object of mass m
that has both gravity and air resistance acting upon it.
In order to look at direction fields (that is after all the
topic of this section....) it would be helpful to have some numbers for the
various quantities in the differential equation. So, let's assume that we have
a mass of 2 kg and that γ =
0.392. Plugging this into (1) gives the following
differential equation.
Let's take a geometric view of this differential equation.
Let's suppose that for some time, t,
the velocity just happens to be v = 30 m/s. Note that we're not saying that the velocity
ever will be 30 m/s. All that we're
saying is that let's suppose that by some chance the velocity does happen to be
30 m/s at some time t. So, if the velocity does happen to be 30 m/s
at some time t we can plug v = 30 into (2) to
Recall from your Calculus I course that a positive
derivative means that the function in question, the velocity in this case, is
increasing, so if the velocity of this object is ever 30m/s for any time t the velocity must be increasing at
that time.
Also, recall that the value of the derivative at a
particular value of t
gives the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that time, t. So, if for some time t the velocity happens to be 30 m/s the slope of the tangent line
to the graph of the velocity is 3.92.
We could continue in this fashion and pick different values
of v
and compute the slope of the tangent line for those values of the velocity.
However, let's take a slightly more organized approach to this. Let's first
identify the values of the velocity that will have zero slope or horizontal
tangent lines. These are easy enough to find. All we need to do is set the
derivative equal to zero and solve for v.
In the case of our example we will have only one value of
the velocity which will have horizontal tangent lines, v = 50 m/s. What this means
is that IF (again, there's that word if), for some time t, the velocity happens to be 50 m/s then the
tangent line at that point will be horizontal. What the slope of the tangent
line is at times before and after this point is not known yet and has no
bearing on the slope at this particular time, t.
So, if we have v = 50,
we know that the tangent lines will be horizontal. We denote this on an axis
system with horizontal arrows pointing in the direction of increasing t at the level of v = 50
as shown in the following figure.
Now, let's get some tangent lines and hence arrows for our
graph for some other values of v.
At this point the only exact slope that is useful to us is where the slope
horizontal. So instead of going after exact slopes for the rest of the graph we
are only going to go after general trends in the slope. Is the slope increasing
or decreasing? How fast is the slope increasing or decreasing? For this example those types of trends are
very easy to get.
First, notice that the right hand side of (2)
is a polynomial and hence continuous. This means that it can only change sign
if it first goes through zero. So, if the derivative will change signs (no
guarantees that it will) it will do so at v = 50 and the only place that it may
change sign is v = 50.
This means that for v >
50 the slope of the tangent lines to the velocity will have the
same sign. Likewise, for v <
50 the slopes will also have the same sign. The slopes in these ranges may have (and
probably will) have different values, but we do know what their signs must be.
Let's start by looking at v < 50. We saw earlier
that if v = 30
the slope of the tangent line will be 3.92, or positive. Therefore, for all
values of v <
50 we will have positive slopes for the tangent lines. Also, by
looking at (2)
we can see that as v
approaches 50, always staying less than 50, the slopes of the tangent lines
will approach zero and hence flatten out. If we move v away from 50, staying less than 50, the slopes
of the tangent lines will become steeper. If you want to get an idea of just how
steep the tangent lines become you can always pick specific values of v and compute values
of the derivative. For instance, we know that at v = 30 the derivative is
3.92 and so arrows at this point should have a slope of around 4. Using this
information we can now add in some arrows for the region below v = 50
as shown in the graph below.
Now, let's look at v >
50. The first thing to do is to find out if the slopes are
positive or negative. We will do this the same way that we did in the last bit,
i.e. pick a value of v, plug this into (2)
and see if the derivative is positive or negative. Note, that you should NEVER
assume that the derivative will change signs where the derivative is zero. It
is easy enough to check so you should always do so.
We need to check the derivative so let's use v = 60.
Plugging this into (2)
gives the slope of the tangent line as -1.96, or negative. Therefore, for all
values of v >
50 we will have negative slopes for the tangent lines. As with v < 50, by looking at (2)
we can see that as v
approaches 50, always staying greater than 50, the slopes of the tangent lines
will approach zero and flatten out. While moving v away from 50 again, staying greater than 50,
the slopes of the tangent lines will become steeper. We can now add in some
arrows for the region above v = 50
as shown in the graph below.
This graph above is called the direction field for the differential
So, just why do we care about direction fields? There are
two nice pieces of information that can be readily found from the direction
field for a differential equation.
So, back to the direction field for our differential
equation. Suppose that we want to know what the solution that has the value v(0) = 30
looks like. We can go to our direction field and start at 30 on the vertical
axis. At this point we know that the solution is increasing and that as it
increases the solution should flatten out because the velocity will be
approaching the value of v =
50. So we start drawing an increasing solution and when we hit an
arrow we just make sure that we stay parallel to that arrow. This gives us the
figure below.
To get a better idea of how all the
solutions are behaving, let's put a few more solutions in. Adding some more
solutions gives the figure below. The set of solutions that we've graphed below
is often called the family of solution curves
or the set of integral curves.
The number of solutions that is plotted when plotting the integral curves
varies. You should graph enough solution curves to illustrate how solutions in
all portions of the direction field are behaving.
Now, from either the direction field, or the direction field
with the solution curves sketched in we can see the behavior of the solution as
t increases. For our falling object, it looks like all of
the solutions will approach v = 50 as
t increases.
We will often want to know if the behavior of the solution
will depend on the value of v(0). In this case the behavior of the solution
will not depend on the value of v(0),
but that is probably more of the exception than the rule so don't expect that.
Let's take a look at a more complicated example.
Example 1 Sketch
the direction field for the following differential equation. Sketch the set
of integral curves for this differential equation. Determine how the
solutions behave as y(0)
describe this dependency.
First, do not worry about where this differential equation
came from. To be honest, we just made
it up. It may, or may not describe an
actual physical situation.
This differential equation looks somewhat more complicated
than the falling object example from above. However, with the exception of a
little more work, it is not much more complicated. The first step is to
determine where the derivative is zero.
We can now see that we have three values of y in which the
derivative, and hence the slope of tangent lines, will be zero. The
derivative will be zero at y
= -1, 1, and 2. So, let's start our direction field with
drawing horizontal tangents for these values. This is shown in the figure
Now, we need to add arrows to the four regions that the
graph is now divided into. For each of these regions I will pick a value of y in that region and
plug it into the right hand side of the differential equation to see if the
derivative is positive or negative in that region. Again, to get an accurate
direction fields you should pick a few more values over the whole range
to see how the arrows are behaving over the whole range.
y <
In this region we can use y
= -2 as the test point. At this point we have
-1 < y < 1
In this region we can use y = 0 as the test point.
At this point we have
1 < y < 2
In this region we will use y = 1.5 as the test
point. At this point we have y = 1 and y = 2 the slopes will flatten out and
as we move from one to the other the slopes will get somewhat steeper before
flattening back out. The figure below shows the direction fields with arrows
added to this region.
y > 2
In this last region we will use y = 3 as the test point.
At this point we have y
= 2 and then as we move way from y
= 2 they will get fairly steep.
The complete direction field for this differential
equation is shown below.
Here is the set of integral curves for this differential
equation. Note that due to the steepness of the solutions in the lowest
region and the software used to generate these images I was unable to include
more than one solution curve in this region.
Finally, let's take a look at long term behavior of all
solutions. Unlike the first example,
the long term behavior in this case will depend on the value of y at t = 0.
By examining either of the previous two figures we can arrive at the
following behavior of solutions as .
Value of y(0)
Behavior as
Do not forget to acknowledge what the horizontal
solutions are doing. This is often the
most missed portion of this kind of problem.
In both of the examples that we've worked to this point the right
hand side of the derivative has only contained the function and NOT the
independent variable. When the right hand side of the differential equation
contains both the function and the independent variable the behavior can be
much more complicated and sketching the direction fields by hand can be very
difficult. Computer software is very handy in these cases.
In some cases they aren't too difficult to do by hand
however. Let's take a look at the
following example.
Example 2 Sketch
the direction field for the following differential equation. Sketch the set
of integral curves for this differential equation.
To sketch direction fields for this kind of differential
equation we first identify places where the derivative will be constant. To
do this we set the derivative in the differential equation equal to a
constant, say c.
This gives us a family of equations, called isoclines,
that we can plot and on each of these curves the derivative will be a
constant value of c.
Notice that in the previous examples we looked at the
isocline for c
= 0 to get the direction field started. For our case the family
of isoclines is.
The graph of these curves for
several values of c is shown
Now, on each of these lines, or isoclines, the derivative
will be constant and will have a value of c. On the c = 0 isocline the
derivative will always have a value of zero and hence the tangents will all
be horizontal. On the c
= 1 isocline the tangents will always have a slope of 1, on the
= -2 isocline the tangents will always have a slope of -2, etc. Below are a few tangents put in for each
of these isoclines.
To add more arrows for those areas between the isoclines
start at say, c
= 0 and move up to c
= 1 and as we do that we increase the slope of the arrows
(tangents) from 0 to 1. This is shown in the figure below.
We can then add in integral curves as we did in the
previous examples. This is shown in the figure below.

Ioan Gruffudd on 'San Andreas' and 'Titanic' Memories
When it comes to epic disaster movies, it's old hat for Ioan Gruffudd! The Welsh actor pays a visit to the YH Studio to dish on all things 'San Andreas', the summer blockbuster that sees Los Angeles leveled by a monster earthquake and brings up the question of what one would do in a real-life do-or-die situation like that. He also takes the time to reflect on his experience filming another blockbuster, 1997's 'Titanic', including hanging out with stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio! Plus he gives us a little demo of courtly dancing!

Raymond Blanc and Gary Jones are chefs at Le Manoir. Raymond Blanc stresses the importance of using the very best chocolate with at least 70% cocoa dark chocolate for this recipe, which of course should always
Pure art in every sense. From the amazing architecture of this breathtaking restaurant and hotel at the top of a hill to the presentation and flavour of this dish. What an experience to be savoured.
This recipe is for the tart alone, pictured on the plate. Highly recommended for a real chocolate fix. The chef also provided me with his choice of wine to accompany the dish, Elysium Black Muscat, California

Final word on Tony Stewart's replacement still up in the air
BROOKLYN, Mich. - Greg Zipadelli, the competition director at Stewart-Haas Racing, said he expects to have two drivers fill in for the injured Tony Stewart for the rest of the year in the No. 14 Chevy.
One of them will certainly be Austin Dillon, who will drive for the team in Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Dillon will start 27th after racing in Saturday's Nationwide Race at Mid-Ohio Sports Course.
Zipadelli said the other driver will likely be announced before this week's race at Bristol.
"Everything will be ironed out for the rest of the year," said Zipadelli. "We've had hurdles to work through."
Zipadelli said one of the hurdles has been the sensitivity of having a driver from a rival team (Dillon drives for Richard Childress Racing) in an SHS car.
"It's very important that we both respect our boundaries from team to team," said Zipadelli. "We're just going to talk about what (Dillon) feels in that car and what he needs. We won't talk about particulars about what we're changing and we we're not really going to ask him to divulge things ..."
Stewart, who broke his leg in a sprint car race in Iowa earlier this month, is likely out for at least several weeks, Zipadelli said.
"He went to the doctor this week and there were no setbacks," said Zipadelli. "Basically, very simple instructions, stay in bed with your leg up over your heart for the next seven days and come back and see me."
Jumbled standings: Although Johnson has clinched a berth in the Chase, there's lots of uncertainty behind him. Nine drivers are separated by 33 points from positions nine through 17 - Greg Biffle to Tony Stewart.
Martin's future: Mark Martin has been mentioned as a possible successor to Montoya in the No. 42 Earnhardt Ganassi Racing Chevy. But Martin doesn't know. He also has been talked about as a replacement for Stewart.
"That's real complicated," said Martin of the Stewart spot. "It sounds logical, but there are a lot of complications that go with that. I have contracts. It's not as simple as you think."
Martin doesn't know what 2014 holds for him.
"I have no idea, I promise," he said.
But, he added, "I'm interested in what (EGR owner) Chip Ganassi has up his sleeve."
Three things to watch
1. Jimmie Johnson has a long way to go if he is to win for a first time at Michigan. He starts from rear of the field in a backup car after wrecking in practice Saturday.
2. Pole-winner Joey Logano posted the ninth-fastest qualifying lap in NASCAR history Friday. Does that translate in race trim Sunday?
3. Juan Pablo Montoya got fired this week. How does he react in his first race since news broke that he won't driver for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing next year? He starts sixth Sunday.
Observations Lots of news in recent weeks about veteran drivers being released for next season (Ryan Newman, Montoya), which means NASCAR's "Silly Season" is upon us.
Montoya said his "heart is in open wheel" on Friday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to that form of auto racing. Other NASCAR drivers, including Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch, implied Friday that if Montoya hadn't figured out stock cars by now in his seven years in NASCAR, he never will.

text: This recipe is simple but delicious. It's also a great dish to serve someone who thinks that they don't like fish, as monkfish has a mild flavour and a meaty texture. Take your monkfish tail, and trim any of the surrounding membrane. Pat dry with kitchen towel. Lay the parma ham on a large chopping board, with each slice overlapping slightly. Place the monkfish in the middle of the ham, and wrap it up in the parma ham. Place in a lightly oiled roasting tray, and drizzle with a little olive oil, and season well. Place in an oven at 180°C for 20 minutes to half an hour. You don't want to overcook the fish, so make sure that you check it regularly. When it's cooked through, the ham should be crackly and cooked, and the fish firm and warm to the middle. You can always use a skewer to test if you're not sure. Cut it into thick diagonal slices, and serve with crushed new potatoes and green beans, drizzled with a little more good olive oil. As per the photo, if you can get hold of some samphire then it's a great alternative to the green beans - cook it lightly in plenty of butter. Please note: this recipe has been created and uploaded by a member of the Tesco Real Food online community.
