Restaurant + bar news
Planning a last-minute bank holiday getaway? Check out – and check into – our pick of the best hotels to have opened in the UK recently.
Words: Ben McCormack
Bristol Harbour Hotel & Spa, Bristol
For starters: What's better than a bank converted into a chic boutique hotel? Two banks converted into a chic boutique hotel – and located in one of the most attractive Georgian remnants of Bristol city centre to boot. The best of the two branches is the Grade II-listed former Lloyd's HQ, inspired by the 16th-century St Mark's library in Venice, no less. Restored interiors blend cool neutrals with colour pops on the furniture and quirky finds from local auction houses. Forty-two light-filled bedrooms nod towards Bristol's trading past with a decanter of sherry in every room.
Mains and more: The on-trend Jetty seafood restaurant has bar stools looking into the kitchen so diners can watch the likes of octopus carpaccio and garlic and herb scallops being prepared. Breakfast is served on jolly blue-and-white Cornishware. Bristol's restaurant scene is booming: check out local stars Bell's Diner, Casamia and Wilks.
Sides: The old bank vaults have been converted into a spa, complete with treatment rooms, hydrotherapy and swimming pools, sauna and steam – the former doors to the safe should make you feel securely cocooned. Browse the independent shops in nearby St Nicholas Market, take a self-guided Banksy walking tour, max out your credit cards at high-street shopping paradise Cabot Circus or indulge in the rather more genteel pleasures of honey-stoned Clifton.
Bill, please: B&B from £145
Contact: 55 Corn Street, Bristol, BS1 1HT; 0117 203 4445; bristol-harbour-hotel.co.uk
Lympstone Manor, Devon
For starters: Michael Caines was the executive chef at two Michelin-starred Gidleigh Park for 21 years, as well as co-founding the Abode hotel chain. Now he has renovated this Grade II-listed Georgian mansion set in 28 acres of parkland on the shores of the Exe estuary. Caines has aimed for what he calls "contemporary country-house hospitality": bird-themed bedrooms (jewel blue in Kingfisher, soft grey in Heron), beige and cream tones in the lounge, and stunning views throughout, whether from your private balcony or floor-to-ceiling French windows.
Mains and more: Take a cocktail from the copper bar ahead of dinner in the golden-hued Powderham dining room, with its intimate banquette tables, or the art-filled Berry Head room. Caines's menus include a seven-course seafood menu and an eight-course Signature menu touting the likes of braised turbot with cockles, mussels and an alive, alive oh! tomato and basil sauce. Devon producers feature on the wine list alongside global stars: book a bespoke wine tasting at the sommelier's table.
Sides: Admire the Gothic ceiling (the longest in the world) at Exeter's medieval cathedral before hitting the beaches at Exmouth and exploring the olde worlde jumble of Sidmouth.
Bill, please: B&B from £305
Contact: Courtlands Lane, Exmouth, EX8 3NZ; 01395 202040; lympstonemanor.co.uk
The Mash Inn, Buckinghamshire
For starters: This rustic-feeling 18th century inn in the leafy village of Radnage was bought last year by restaurateur and host-with-the-most Nick Mash (hence the 21st-century name). Five bedrooms (two suites, three doubles) feature king-size Hypnos beds and free-standing baths. Come the morning, breakfasts of buttermilk yoghurts and foraged fruit jams are delivered to your room.
Mains and more: The 32-seat dining room adjoins a kitchen with wood-fired grill. Dishes are chalked up daily on a blackboard, with ingredients picked from the kitchen garden served alongside hand-churned butter and freshly baked bread: think dry-aged rib of beef with oysters and nettles, washed down with local cloudy cider. Guests are encouraged to step into the kitchen and chat to head chef Jon Parry (ex-Bull & Last and Trinity). The eight-course tasting menu is a bargain at £45.
Sides: The surrounding Chiltern Hills have some of the best walking close to London – grab a picnic satchel, borrow Nick's binoculars and spend your days striking out along the Ridgeway (mind out for deer) and birdwatching red kites on the wing. Whizz up the M40 for sightseeing in Oxford or down the road to Bray and Marlow for foodie adventures at The Fat Duck and The Hand and Flowers. Don't have a car? Saunderton station (45 mins to Marylebone) is 4 miles away.
Bill, please: B&B from £100
Contact: Horseshoe Road, Bennett End, Buckinghamshire, HP14 4EB; 01494 482440; themashinn.com
Tamburlaine, Cambridge
For starters: Named after a blood-soaked play by Cambridge alumnus Christopher Marlowe (Corpus, 1584), Tamburlaine is no tragedy. This being Cambridge, there's a library as well as 155 guest rooms (entry-level Fresher, posher Scholar rooms and Dean penthouse suites), all fetchingly decked out in Cambridge blue and boasting floor-to-ceiling windows – some with fabulous views. The hotel might not have the prettiest location (it's up the road from the station) but at least you'll be there in an hour from King's Cross, and the city centre is a short walk away.
Mains and more: Choose from three restaurants: the informal Brasserie (pendant lighting, leather banquettes, pork with carrots and cider jus), afternoon tea lounge the Garden Room, daytime deli-cum-evening wine bar Steam, plus cocktails in the bar. Or eat out: clever modern ideas at Alimentum, or two Michelin-starred Midsummer House. A well-equipped fitness studio is on site if you over indulge.
Sides: Stroll the college courts, punt along the Backs gawping at the world-famous view of King's chapel, cycle past the Palladian Senate House, admire the art at the Fitzwilliam Museum (Picasso, Matisse, Monet), or take an afternoon trip to the spectacular Norman cathedral at nearby Ely.

So next week we begin our c. 20th Annual WINTER BOOK SALE! Many people have been emailing or calling us to ask when does it begin. It begins next Thursday Jan. 27th at 10 am and runs through Tuesday, Feb. 8th at 5:30 pm. Come on down! We don't know what all the discounts will be yet but they will range from 20-50% off and perhaps a booth at 60% off. It runs over two weekends, 13 days of deals galore! Think of birthdays, graduations and presents for other occasions.
It's a bumpy ride into the electronic age for the computer meister here at WABC. (Me!) I first want to apologize to those 158 people on our e-mailing list. You might have received 3 or 4 announcements about the upcoming book sale or none at all. We ran into a sending glitch which seems to have sent the announcement to some names after saying they couldn't. I would love to hear from any of you who DID or DIDN'T receive it, the latter to add to the mailing list the former to apologize to in "person". Use the Contact Us page on this web site. I plan to announce special sales on certain topics (ie cookery, military, childrens etc..) through out the year but likely only by email as post card mailings (we have 1200+ names on our list) get more and more expensive. So send us a note and I will collect your email. We will definitely have the glitches out by then. FYI we do not sell our list to anyone and will only announce WABC related book events. (Barbara's Spring book barn sale and the October Pioneer Valley Book Fair are among them.)
....Peter has vacuumed during this slow sunny Saturday morning and I have put an hour in downstairs on piles. I will have to live with some, alas. We read a review of our book store someone wrote on-line, and while most are kind and laudatory, this one gentleman scolded us for the untidy piles of book boxes we have in our entryway. Sorry, sir. Running a used book business as your sole source of income in this day and age doesn't leave you much time or energy for neatening.
Customers today are coming in relaxed and spending time poking around and finding interesting items. Sold a large pile of art and drawing books to a gentleman who hadn't been here in many years and said.."I could stay here for a week" or something similar. We do hear that a lot. At times I forget how large a stock we have. Today I purchased a short pile of history, American Indians and war titles. Then sold a sheaf of old Christmas Stamps and a large Tom Sawyer painting Book from the 1930's or'40's followed by more post cards, an early Martha Stewart book on Entertaining...she had longish blond hair in a flip of sorts...Letters of Emily Dickinson and one of those lovely juvenile Linneas books (she visits Monet's garden and other places). Time to price and put more books away. It is never ending! Til later! Barbara

renewable-fuel-standard epa34 biodiesel
Bob Greco
Posted December 20, 2013
In a recent letter to the Obama administration, some members of Congress pushed officials to increase EPA's proposed 2014 mandate for biodiesel, arguing that EPA's plan to keep the mandate at its 2013 level could reduce production by approximately 25 percent. With all due respect, the mandate exists as a floor, not as a ceiling, and the biodiesel industry is welcome to exceed it.
And guess what: The biodiesel industry has been doing just that for the past three years – as the lawmakers' letter points out. According to EPA, since 2011 the volumes of biomass-based diesel fuels produced have been well above EPA's mandated requirements.

Your presentation should be looking good by now. You've learned to create and save a simple presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint. You've learned to edit, format, and arrange the presentation, as well as coordinate its animation effects, slide transitions, and timing. You're probably eager to jump up in front of that group and wow the audience. Well, almost.
The features of PowerPoint go on and on—in fact, an entire book could be (and has been) written about using all the aspects of the program to create high-quality, imaginative presentations. But this section of the book wouldn't be complete without at least a quick look at some of the high-end effects you can achieve with PowerPoint. The tasks covered here may be reserved for special presentations—effects that include video, adding music, and broadcasting your presentation online.

Vancouver home trends for walls, accents, accessories, and hardware.
Vancouver home trends for 2017 see colours coming into play through the application of accents; not only in paint, but in feature finished walls, accents, accessories, and hardware.
Neutrals are finding new inspiration in bold ways. Darker richer versions of nature inspired hues; greens, browns and even navy are popping up in innovative ways. There have never been more metallic options; stunning metal fixtures and features can add a very pleasing visual appeal.
White and brown are sticking around, especially as kitchen staples, but designers are showing us ways to add a punch of interest with a feature wall or element. This is not limited to paint; a feature wall in a kitchen could be a contrasting bank of cabinets or a bold artistic tile or wallpaper.
Darker colours can be used in subtle statement applications without overpowering the space. A great example of this is in the replacement of a traditional wood based island with an adventurous painted cabinetry piece topped in a lighter stone to brighten and open the space.
If you are hesitant when it comes to applying colour to your home, start small and choose colours from nature. Earth tones blend better; complimenting rather than contrasting the colours that already exist within your home.
Grey is also a way to take a small step away from white. Where cabinetry may have previously been chosen in white, if you want something a bit more unique or lower maintenance, try going grey in your kitchen.
If you fear colour the best way to start is with non-permanent applications. Think 're'… could you re-place it, re-paint it, re-upholster it with relatively little labour or cost involved?
If your project is smaller in scale you could start here; re-upholder your existing dining chairs or replace your kitchen and bath hardware – it will change the whole look with a very modest investment of your time and money. If adding new items; a brightly coloured couch or signature chair, layered with a textured throws and brightly coloured pillows are a stepping stone to getting colour in your home and loving it.
Time to see your home in colour!… and TQ's talented team can help bring out the best in your favourites… Get in touch today!

Calcite is a carbonate mineral with a formula CaCO3 that is found worldwide in sedimentary, metamorphic and igenous rocks. It crystallizes in a trigonal crystal system and forms well-shaped crystals adopting over 800 described crystal forms (the most common being rhombohedrons and scalenohedrons). The variety of the mineral Iceland spar is transparent and it is used for its double refraction used in optics. The color of the mineral is caused by impurities (Co(II) ions in cobaltoan calcite). The mineral has two other polymorphs that can be found in nature – aragonite (tetragonal) and vaterite (hexagonal). The polymorphs are metastable at normal conditions and converts to calcite [Xyla]. The vaterite is the phase that crystallizes spontaneously first from aqueous media and it rapidly turns into calcite. It is however stabilized by the presence of organophosphorous compounds (e.g. living organism). It is used in biomedicine due to its biodegrability and unique physical properities [trushina]. Aragonite is stabilized by the ions such as Mg2+. The three polymorphs can be distinguished in numerous ways. The easiest way is the use of infrared spectroscopy. The calcite shows characteristic bands at 714 cm-1, 876 cm-1, 1800 cm-1 and the broad band at about 1400 cm-1 [Xyla].
At the locality Maglovec quarry, Vyšná Šebastová, Prešov Co., Slovakia rhombohedral crystals of calcite covered by a thin layer of iron oxides are found in cavities. The unknown samples collected were identified by a chemical and instrumental analysis. The vigorous reaction with hydrochloric acid giving off carbon dioxide and the infrared spectrum measured helped to identify the mineral as calcite besides the mineral similiar in appearance – chabazite.

I've just been looking at all the lovely things in your Etsy store. How are you getting on with Etsy? I've got a website but keep wondering if Etsy would be a better alternative or maybe something I should consider as well as my own site. Hope you don't mind me asking.Replies
Thanks Barbara! I really enjoy my Etsy shop! I have had some really great customers and I love sharing my finds with them. It's great when they send me messages about how they love an item because they had it has a child or that they are giving something as a gift. The nice thing about Etsy is there is no charge to set up a shop, you only pay when you list or sell items. ~~DianeDelete
Diane - what a lovely poem for spring and Lois Maloy's illustrations are fabulous. What art!! I am going to do some research on her - thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more. Have a lovely week-end.ReplyDelete
So sweet! Love how it is illustrated.ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving a comment! I do read them all and will try to respond if I'm able. Please know that all comments are appreciated, I love to hear your thoughts on my posts! ~ Diane

Parent Information
Why do we do what we do?
Not too long ago the Gallup Group did a poll on what teens hungered for spiritually. The top five spiritual things that Christian teens said they desired most: 1) A hunger for meaningful relationships 2) A hunger to know that life has purpose 3) A hunger for someone to listen to them 4) A hunger to be connected to what is Sacred 5) A hunger for life to be fairer.
What is it we conceive?
St. Thomas the Apostle's Life Teen is designed with the intent to lead teens closer to Christ. So, our Sunday evenings kick off with the Eucharistic Liturgy Service. This is followed by Life Nights – a 1 ½ hour experience focused on faith development.
St Thomas the Apostle has a Core Team of about fifteen adults. They work very hard at moral character-building and faith formation of your teenager because of this awkward, unstable, tempting, and negative climate we live in. The Core is focused on helping to inspire the teens to grow up and be confident leaders, while they grow in faith. We want to help to teach and model the Christian life to your child. Our Core Team is packed with role models and people who truly care about your teen. It is a given to us that we all want our teens to grow in the faith, to be courageous in it, to become humble leaders who encourage, embrace and live a Christian-filled life. The nucleus of the family is where this all begins. We are working very hard to support family life.
What do we need to do?
We always work diligently at making the message of Jesus relevant. We are striving to help your teen to hear the fuller truth of the gospel and let the Truth impact their life. We explore the faith in relevant ways. We hope to lead each teen to where they personally experience God's love in their life, because this is how they will ultimately own their faith. Our Sunday evenings are absolutely eventful. Life Night is not a program! It is a commitment to not ignore our teens and recognize they have needs. It is a serious undertaking to provide faith-revealing experiences.
How do we try and bring faith formation to life?
We provide a means to draw them into an interactive learning experience. We offer an interactive atmosphere, where the teens can grow in their understanding of God's relevance in their life. It is God's love that transforms the teens' lives and it is God's love that impacts their decisions. God's love is increasingly necessary as they begin to make the real choices of life. God's love helps them in their relationships. God's love will help them in their future marriages and in the families they will raise some day.
What to expect at a typical Life Night?
As you know by now, two of the four Sunday evenings in a month are catechetical. We break open a particular teaching of the Church. One of the evenings deals with specific "real world issues" that teens deal with (i.e. drinking, gossip, chastity, bullying, clicks, suicide, healthy friendships, depression, social networking, etc.). These nights help teens see how their Christian faith is relevant to every aspect of their lives. And one Life Night per month is a social night, where we build Christian community and friendships (a party with purpose – controlled chaos if you will). In the midst of these social nights a message of God's love is shared and realized.
What is the newest direction to be added for 2014/2015?
A team is being assembled to address the Domestic Church – The Family!
We will be developing strategies to develop stronger Catholic Families in our Parish. There are four theological truths we will be keeping on the radar as we proceed: * Family Life is Sacred * Family Activity is Holy * Family Has a Unique Ministry * Family is a Believing and Evangelizing Community. We will begin to offer ways to coach parents and engage them in directly forming their children spiritually. Our goal is to get parents to reclaim their responsibility to pass on the faith. The bottom line is we will be equipping, supporting and encouraging families to own their Catholic Faith.
What else:
- Confirmation - A special nine month period of time of spiritual formation and discernment, culminating with the Sacrament of Confirmation in spring.
- Ignite – A place to go deeper in faith, be mentored in leadership, be spiritually fed, and establish meaningful friendships and share fellowship.
- More Than Words - A social justice and community service group, where teens grow together, as women and men for others through a process of action and reflection. A different social justice issue is explored every month, leading up to a service day relating to that social justice issue.
- Additions Teen Service Opportunities
- March for Life – March alongside thousands in prayerful witness to the sanctity of life.
- Tree of Life --- Support the efforts of Reachout (assist in supporting the needs of pregnant woman and babies in crisis).
- Fall Retreat – Bonds Teens in Christ – takes place on Mount Lemmon for 3 days.
- Ignite Winter Retreat – A deeper place retreat for those Confirmed – takes place at Triangle Y Camp for 3 days
- Spring Retreat – A Life Changing Spiritual Retreat for Teens – takes place at Triangle Y Camp for 3 days.
- Steubenville West – A powerful Christian Summer Youth Conference – Thousands of teens come from around the country to the UofA and hear some of the very best known Christian speakers and musicians, who provide inspiration and hope. The Conference is centered on Jesus, and includes focused talks on virtue, holiness, and spirituality.
- LEAD – This is a dynamic Catholic leadership opportunity for teens that are ready to step up to the next level in leadership and evangelization. STAP will be sending a minimum of four teens this year.
- Life Teen Leadership Conference – LTLC is a very unique opportunity in leadership training. Four to six teens and two CORE members will be sent to Benedictine College, in Atchison, Kansas during the summer. It is a life changing week.
- Life Teen Tailgate – We set up a tent at several high schools during football season, becoming a presence to meet teens in their environment.
- Empower Plus – St Thomas the Apostle hosts a one day training in the very best practices in youth ministry for Arizona youth ministers.
- CYM Training Convention – St Thomas the Apostle sends Core Team Members out of town for three days to receive practical and comprehensive training in spiritual renewal.
- Center for Ministry Development Certification Classes – Core Team Members attend a National Youth Ministries Leadership Studies Program – eight weekends over two years.
- Diocese of Tucson Annual Conference – Core Team Members attend a theme based conference.
- CORE Team Retreat – At the beginning of the fall semester the CORE team attends a 3 day spiritual retreat at Picture Rocks led by recognized spiritual leaders in the Church. The idea being you can't give what you don't have.
- World Youth Day – July 2016 – Krakow, Poland – WYD is the greatest concentration of young people in the world – over one million people will participate in this extremely meaningful pilgrimage. St Thomas underwrites a portion of this expense.
- Veritas – Young adult group who meet weekly to explore worship, discipleship, apologetics, social justice, faith in college, prayer, history of the Church and more.
- Funding and Scholarships– St Thomas the Apostle Life Teen has a policy that no teen should miss an opportunity to encounter God and grow in relation with Him. In addition we do not charge program fee for Life Teen! The costs for what we offer are covered by the parish and what we are able to raise.
- O'Leary Hall High Tech Advancements – Multi screen projection, travel rear projection screen, electrical wiring to rear of hall and software.
- STAP Web Design & Support – Significant social media enhancement to web page for the multi youth groups. To be able to communicate better to parents and teens.
What can you do?
The reality is this – the only way we will really make a difference in the life of teens is with support. If our Life Teen experience is to become more and more meaningful to teens and families, it won't be because of any one of us. It will take all of our conscious prayers, efforts and resources. From the time of Christ himself, the reality is faith always comes alive through experiences and is then revealed in actions. The price for this is not just covered by the gift of time and talent!
To this point, I think you already know that St. Thomas the Apostle is extremely supportive and generous to faithful faith formation of teens. We need to be able to continue to extend the invitation for all to come without any sense of burden.
Here is where your support is needed to make Life Teen work even better. In whatever way you can step up and assist, please do so. If you feel you can contribute in any way, please do so (there is much more we can add to their Life Teen Experience with additional resources).
If you can commit yourself to prayers on behalf of the Life Teen Experience – thank you. What I hope for all of us is that we strive to reveal love in all the ways that we can. This is how being a Christian makes a difference in this world. This is how we become a better community. And please, please, please; never stop praying for your families, family life in St Thomas the Apostle, in this country, and in this world. Pray for spiritual health of our teens and for their ever-growing relationship with Jesus to grow. Please know that our Core Team includes your teens and you in our prayers too! I would also ask that in a special way you pray for a ministry we are discerning to undertake: Strong Catholic Families. We are in the exploratory stage and will be sharing more with you in the coming months.
St. Thomas the Apostle Life Teen 2014/2015 Vision
Core Values:
1) Remain faithful to God
2) Respond to God's call and his people
3) Reveal love
Core Purpose:
St Thomas the Apostle's youth ministry exists to make Jesus more available, in order that teens, families, and the entire parish community can be drawn more into relationship with him.
Big 2013 Goal:
By May 2015 families are visibly engaged in a lively encounter with Christ in the Eucharist and the Word and are responding in moving ways.
St. Thomas the Apostle Life Teen Prayer
Loving God, You sent your Son, Jesus, into this world to be an example to us, that we might be transformed into the image of his love. This love is not something we generate ourselves rather, it comes to us through the Holy Spirit who has been given us.
We pray for youth, young adults, parents, ministers and for all members of the family of St. Thomas the Apostle Parish. Come and heal any division, transform our hearts and make them one with you. Please give us knowledge, courage and willing hearts to be true disciples. Help us to be open to learn God's will, to share God's message and to be God's people. May we know, love and serve God with authenticity and passion. Bless us with love, joy, friendship, laughter, peace, hope, faith, direction, fruitfulness and the path to holiness.
We entrust our Youth Ministry work, for, with and by young people to Saint John Paul the Great. We pray that through his intercession we may find God, find ourselves and find our place in the life and mission of our Church. With God's grace may we believe in Jesus, accept what he says and follow his Gospel message, allowing Christ's love to conquer us! In spite of all the challenges that lie ahead, may God's love in Jesus define us!

Webb Simpson has admitted he now feels well rested and ready for the defence of his Shriners Hospitals for Children Open title this week (Simpson 20/1 Tournament Outright).
The 29-year-old was part of the USA Ryder Cup team that were sent home from Gleneagles with their tails between their legs by Europe a few weeks ago and has not played competitively since.
He admits that the experience in Scotland was not an enjoyable one, as he only played in two matches throughout the three days of competition. But now it is back to the day job of performing on the PGA Tour and the chance to defend a title for the fourth time in his career.
The North Carolina resident eased to a six-stroke victory in the tournament last year, finishing on 24-under par on what is generally a birdie-friendly course at TPC Summerlin.
Simpson enjoyed an up-and-down end to last season, with three missed cuts and three top-10 finishes in his last nine events prior to the Ryder Cup.
And now, after a couple of weeks away from the pressures of tournament golf, the 2012 US Open winner appears eager to get back onto the Las Vegas course and fight for the title once again.
"What I needed was to get away from the game," he said. "I needed a break. I needed to decompress, and I feel like I always play well after a break.
"I always seem to be hungrier and prepared when I have some time off."
Simpson will be joined in the field by FedEx Cup winner Billy Horschel (14/1 fav), with fellow Ryder Cup player Jimmy Walker (20/1) and last week's winner, Sang-Moon Bae, also set to tee it up in Nevada.

The Americans with Disabilities Act protects people in Louisiana and across the United States with documented disabilities from suffering from workplace discrimination because of their differences. It helps to ensure that disabled individuals receive the same treatment when it comes to hiring, firing, promotion and compensation procedures within a particular company. It also requires workplaces to make reasonable accommodations so that the disabled individual is able to complete his or her job.
Recently, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that telecommuting -- or working from home -- is a reasonable work accommodation that must be made by employers if the employee's job can be performed at home. In this case, a woman with irritable bowel syndrome was fired after a request to work from home was denied by the company she worked for. In the case, the court ruled that the woman's employer -- Ford Motor Co. -- failed to prove why she couldn't complete the duties of her job from home.
Experts suggest that employers begin to implement policies that allow for telecommuting and to determine if it is possible for a particular job. Then, if a disabled work needs an accommodation that allows them to telecommute, policies are already in place to allow that to happen. Furthermore, employers should know that they cannot request medical information to support a request for an accommodation if they have a policy for telecommuting in place. This could be seen as a violation of the ADA
Once the accommodation is granted, employers need to make sure appropriate efforts are made to make sure disabled workers have what they need to complete their job. Furthermore, efforts need to be made to keep the person as an integrated member of their team.
If Louisiana employees do not receive reasonable work accommodations for a disability, they should know that they have legal options available to them that could result in compensation.

Arts Education Development Programme
An interdisciplinary arts education programme brings high school learners from Johannesburg's inner city into curated spaces, where they initiate dialogues commenting on their social, political and personal environment.
The Artucation Programme is an interdisciplinary arts education programme by Keep the Dream Arts in Partnership with the Goethe-Institut. Its main objective is to offer arts education to schools that do not have the access or resources to do so. The programme is currently offered to grade 9 -10 learners from high schools located in Johannesburg's inner city but aims to extend to schools in every province, ultimately impacting more facilitators, learners and schools.
Taking place weekly, Artucation incorporates film, applied drama, community music and visual arts. Learners visit exhibitions and curated spaces as a starting point to initiate dialogues which comment on learners' social, political and personal environment. The aim is to create a space where they talk about the art that they see and begin unpack and translate themes in their own interpretation. These discussions continue beyond the gallery or curated space into the classroom.
About Keep the Dream Arts:Established in 2011, KEEP THE DREAM ARTS is a Johannesburg based Non Profit Company that is responsible for community arts education, entertainment programmes, developing and supporting learners in Johannesburg. Our approach to the arts is to apply creative methods, collaborate different types of art forms and provide unique and meaningful arts educational programming. We aim to educate, support and build learners through these programmes.

Creche That Was By A Truck
This creche was one I saw tonight while frantically hunting for sets to make up for my 3-day drought.
I found five today, so I'll fill in the hole I've left for the past few days.
This set is unique and I have not seen it before. It is made out of the outdoor plastic which is called 'blow-mold', but the set isn't the same size as I normally see. It's like a downsized version of a larger set. I have to say I like it very much.

Legal, administrative and policy strategies for securing sustainable development of the forestry sector in Russia, Belarus and UkraineProject ID: INTAS-94-1236

Legal, administrative and policy strategies for securing sustainable development of the forestry sector in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine
Gesamtkosten:Nicht verfügbar
EU-Beitrag:EUR 35 000
Koordiniert in:Finland
Thema(en):71 - Economics
The main objective of this joint research project is to analyse the present legal, administrative and policy sub-systems for forest resources utilization, protection and reproduction in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Based on this, the project aims at suggesting improvements in the policy instruments to balance the economic, ecological and social interests managed by state forests.
The analysis will focus on the state forests, due to the fact that the state forest institutions are the key factor in these three NIS countries in the utilisation of the forests and in the implementation of the forest law.
The analysis will be based on applied theory of policy-making in forestry. The theory will link the forestry state institutions to the political process. On one hand, the different phases of the political process from formulation through implementation to evaluation of forest policy give a framework to the forestry state institutions. On the other hand, the behaviour of the state forest institutions can be described and explained within this framework based on organizational theory.
The basic hypotheses of the organizational behaviour and the policy process will be developed upon policy and organizational theory from recent literature and will be empirically tested by case studies. These case studies will provide the empirical basis for a detailed report on major processes that characterize the behaviour of the state forest institutions of the three NIS countries involved. A final report will be produced.

University of South Carolina provost Michael Amiridis was named chancellor at the University of Illinois at Chicago Thursday.
Amiridis, who was second in command in Columbia, will lead the Chicago school with about 28,000 students — just 4,000 shy of USC. His appointment needs approval by Universty of Illinois trustees next month. He would start at the school in March.
Amiridis was well-respected at USC, known for an affable demeanor that made him accessible to students, faculty and trustees. He won backing to hire 200 additional professors as USC expanded in recent years. He also helped expand USC's summer session into a third semester and create the Palmetto College online degree-completion program.
In an email sent to faculty Thursday, USC president Harris Pastides called Amiridis an "advocate and friend."
"Michael's years at the University of South Carolina have well-prepared him for this important opportunity," Pastides wrote. "He has worked tirelessly to enhance the academic reputation of our university. He will be greatly missed, yet it would not have been right to try too hard to hold him back. He is ready for this next challenge."
Pastides said he would begin a national search for Amiridis' successor and appoint a search committee on Jan. 2. He said he plans to have finalists on campus by the spring and a new provost on campus for the fall.
Amiridis, 52, was looking to leave USC after five years helping Pastides manage USC's growth, including adding 4,000 students and hundreds of millions in projects. Earlier this year, he was a candidate for president of Florida State University.
Amiridis said he felt ready to lead a school but did not send out resumes. Consultants approached him and he applied only to colleges that appealed to him.
Illinois-Chicago was intriguing to Amiridis since the school caters to first-generation college students like himself and his wife but "does this with high quality" with a major research presence and large health-sciences division.
"It's full of opportunity and huge potential," said Amiridis, who has some idea about Midwest weather having spent six years in Madison, Wisc.
Amiridis, paid $423,000 a year at USC, will have base salary of $400,000 a year in his new post. He also will be eligible for a $75,000 performance bonus.
After two decades in Columbia, Amiridis said leaving is bitter sweet He said he learned everything about being a college administrator at USC. He said he will take with him Pastides' experiences in building good relationships with students, faculty, and state and local government leaders.
A native of Greece, Amiridis joined USC in 1994 as a chemical engineering professor, later becoming chair of the department of chemical engineering and dean of the College of Engineering and Computing.
For his new job, Amiridis was chosen by outgoing University of Illinois president Robert Easter and president-elect Timothy Killeen from four finalists recommended by a committee that screened 55 candidates.
Amiridis' new employer has a $2 billion budget — double the spending at USC. The Chicago school has 12,000 faculty and staff, and 15 academic colleges, including the nation's largest medical school. The college also runs Illinois' largest public medical center.
Illinois-Chicago says its $350 million in annual research funding ranks 57th in the nation. USC received $220 million in research funding in 2013.
Amiridis succeeds Paula Allen-Meares, who will return to the faculty after a six-year term as chancellor that had a stormy end of her tenure.
University of Illinois trustees decided not to extend Allen-Meares' contract as chancellor and Illinois-Chicago faculty gave her a vote of no confidence for making leadership changes without input, according to published reports.
Amiridis said he plans to meet with small groups on the Chicago campus and listen to their problems and concerns.
"You can't assume you will have trust and respect," he said. "You have to listen."

Sherwin-Williams, with its 4,086 company-operated paint stores losing market share to big-box retailers, reached a deal on Sunday to acquire rival Valspar Corp. for about $11.3 billion including debt, or $113 per share.
Valspar, sold at big-box chains like Walmart and Lowe's, will give Cleveland-based Sherwin-Williams more shelf space at those locations.
The deal, unanimously approved by both companies' boards, represents a premium of about 41 percent to Valspar's average stock price over the past 30 days.
Minneapolis-based Valspar also has a larger sales footprint in Europe and Asia, allowing Sherwin-Williams, which generates more than 80 cents out of every dollar of revenue from the US and Canada, to grow its brand around the world.
Valspar shares closed trading on Friday at $83.83.
Both companies said the deal would be immediately accretive — save for onetime costs — to the bottom line.
Sherwin-Williams had seen its huge chain of stores grow by 18 percent over the last four years — and the percentage of total sales from the segment grow steadily from 62 to 66 percent over that period. Until last year.
In 2015, according to regulatory filings, that percentage dropped to 63 percent. Total revenue eked out just a 1.9 percent gain from the prior year.
The companies expect to achieve $280 million of estimated annual synergies in the areas of sourcing, process and efficiency savings within two years.
The deal is expected to close by the first quarter of 2017.
Sherwin-Williams said it intends to finance the transaction through a combination of cash on hand, liquidity available under existing facilities and new debt.

Is it possible to talk of "vulgarity" in classical music?
I recently read in the Classical music section (in a region different from English speaking countries) a couple of questions regarding the "vulgarity" in Classical music. The person stated that some composers and players can be classified as "vulgar" while anothers can be regarded as "refined". In the first class that persons ranked composers like Shostakovich or piano players like Liberace or conductors like Celibidache (based in the rude manners of the conductor), while in the second class this person ranks Debussy and Berlioz.
I am a newcomer understanding how can we label some music or musicians as "vulgar" or as "refined". In the case of some people could be justified judging their behaviour, but what would be the criterion to classifiy a Classical piece as "vulgar" or as "refined"? Is it related with the harmony, with the chromatism, with the excess of instrumentation perhaps…?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
best regards.
Dear Gengis Kan:
I agree with you that it could be a very hard task to classify a piece of music (specially Classical Music) as "vulgar" or refined. I posted this question here to receive more information to understand – founded in some serious basis – how can someone judge a composition as "vulgar". It is interesting to read in the answers given before you, that indeed is possible to find in a masterpiece a bit of "disgusting" taste according to some accepted parameters.
Thanks for your effort in replying my question here in English. I could read your text without problems.
Greetings my friend! (¡Saludos amigo!)

Opioid Overdose: Keep Your Patient Alive, But Protect Yourself
Exposure to even a few grains of fentanyl can be fatal
By Daria Waszak, RN, DNP, CEN, COHN-S
Imagine that you're home in bed late one night when there's a frantic knock at your door. It's your next-door neighbor, who says her daughter may have overdosed on opioid medication. She remembered that you were a nurse and hoped that you might be able to help.
Would you know what to do in this situation? If not, now would be a good to learn. In 2016, almost 2,000 Californians died of opioid overdose. Most could have been saved with prompt intervention. Knowing how to respond to a suspected overdose could save a life — and safeguard your health.
The Opioid Overdose Triad
Olivia Olmos, RN, MSN, ENPC, works in the ED of White Memorial, a busy hospital in the Boyle Heights area of downtown Los Angeles. Her unit sees a lot of overdose cases.
One of the first challenges of responding to an overdose is recognizing what you're dealing with. When responding to a potential overdose case, Olmos explains, "We quickly go into detective mode in order to understand and pinpoint which medication is the root cause. As with any situation, there can be patients who do not respond to any tactile or verbal stimuli, which will require emergent intervention to maintain their airway and provide safe care."
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the "opioid overdose triad" includes unconsciousness, pinpoint pupils and respiratory depression. The latter is the principal cause of overdose fatalities and may manifest as slow or irregular breathing or respiratory arrest. This may be accompanied by cyanosis of the lips and nails.
Overdose patients may be delirious and extremely drowsy or completely unconscious. If the patient loses consciousness, it may be impossible to awaken them even with sternal rub. An overdose victim may also exhibit low blood pressure and reduced heart rate.
Common risk factors for opioid overdose include a history of substance abuse; depression; lung or liver disease; and taking opioid medication in combination with other sedatives such as benzodiazepine or alcohol. Although these factors seem straightforward, prescribers may not always check for them and patients are not always informed.
The higher the individual's daily dose, the greater the overdose risk. Sadly, patients who have previously detoxified may be at elevated risk of overdose because their tolerance for the drug has decreased.
Overdose Treatment: Naloxone
Olmos recalls one overdose patient who was found lying in front of a liquor store. "The patient was unresponsive to any painful, verbal and motor stimuli and also presented with pinpoint pupils," she says.
"At that moment, I was already thinking endotracheal intubation and Narcan because my thought and every nurse's thought should always be airway. Because if you don't have an airway, you don't have a patient."
Narcan is Adapt Pharma's trade name for naloxone hydrochloride, an FDA-approved drug that can actually reverse opioid overdose. (Kaléo Pharma also manufactures naloxone under the trade name Evzio.) Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, binding to the body's opioid receptors to block and undo the effects of opioid use. This reverses life-threatening symptoms like respiratory depression and bradycardia.
Between 1996 and 2014, naloxone saved more than 26,000 lives. Many were through administration by laypeople rather than healthcare providers or first responders. With increased public attention on the opioid epidemic, naloxone is now available without a prescription in California and many other states, making the drug much more accessible to the people who need it.
Call 911
Naloxone usually works very quickly, but it may not be effective for all types of opioid overdoses, including those involving buprenorphine. Some patients may need multiple doses of naloxone and might require subsequent doses over a period of up to 24 hours. Also, a patient with severely depressed respiratory function may still require CPR until their breathing returns to normal.
If you find yourself administering naloxone outside a healthcare setting, the drug's manufacturers stress that you should still call 911. The goal is not to replace medical help, but to keep the patient alive long enough to receive it.
The above photo dramatically illustrates the potency of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that the CDC says can be up to 100 times more potent than heroin. Shown are the lethal doses (the amount necessary to kill an average-size adult male) of each drug. Drugs "cut" with fentanyl or other powerful synthetic opioids have caused many overdose deaths across the U.S. Photo: New Hampshire State Police Forensic Laboratory
Fentanyl is a Danger to the Medical Team
If you're not careful, dealing with opioid overdose patients might leave you needing a dose of naloxone yourself. Contact with the patient during assessment and treatment can expose you to the same drug the patient was exposed to, which could be extremely dangerous.
Last August, three nurses at a hospital in Massillon, Ohio, had to be treated with naloxone after cleaning a room where an overdose patient had recently been treated. All three had become sick and passed out after coming into contact with a substance believed to be fentanyl.
Fentanyl is the generic name for an extremely potent synthetic opioid at least 50 times stronger than morphine. Some chemically similar drugs are even more powerful; carfentanil, which is used to tranquilize elephants, is 10,000 times more potent than morphine!
Illicit drug traffickers sometimes mix or replace narcotics like heroin with these powerful synthetic versions, greatly increasing the risk of accidental overdose. According to the CDC, 29 percent of all U.S. opioid deaths in 2015 were caused by fentanyl and its chemical cousins. Not only can synthetic opioids like fentanyl easily kill an unwary user, they also pose a major hazard to first responders and healthcare workers. Some forms of these drugs can be absorbed through the skin and they're so powerful that contact with even a tiny amount can produce overdose symptoms within minutes.
Protect Against Unknown Substances
Carrie Kappel, RN, B.S., is a licensed drug and alcohol counselor for the Hazeldon Betty Ford Foundation, a treatment and recovery provider. She says that when it comes to working with patients under the influence of opioids or in opioid withdrawal, she and her fellow nurses "take basic universal precautions, like using barrier methods to avoid any direct contact with unknown substances, particularly powdered substances."
In California, Cal/OSHA's Injury and Illness Prevention Program requires employers to identify and evaluate workplace hazards. "This includes occupational exposure to synthetic opioids, such as through the skin, via inhalation and via ingestion," notes Cal/OSHA Senior Safety Engineer Grace Delizo. Employers are then responsible for providing appropriate personal protective equipment and emergency procedures.
When it comes to possible fentanyl exposure, Delizo says, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends "use of a P100 (or higher) half-mask filtering face-piece respirator, gloves, eye protection and protective clothing. NIOSH also recommends not to eat, drink or smoke in the area of suspected fentanyl, and that employees wash their hands and inspect their clothing for contamination after performing any activity potentially involving fentanyl."
The DEA's briefing booklet for first responders recommends that individuals who may come into contact with fentanyl or similar synthetic opioids use eye protection, paper coveralls (including shoe covers), nitrile gloves and N95 particulate filter masks. Gross contamination may require even greater protection and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Of course, you can't always open your door wearing protective gear, but if you are uncertain what an overdose patient may have been exposed to, uninformed, unprotected contact with that patient is like a game of Russian roulette.
If you encounter an unknown powder or other substance while responding to an overdose situation, the substance should not be disturbed. Instead, contact the DEA.
Cocaine, which can also be laced with fentanyl, poses the same risk to users and the medical team that opioids do
Brutal Opioid Withdrawal
Naloxone can save an overdose patient's life, but that may be only the beginning of their ordeal. For a patient who does not routinely use opioids (like the nurses who were accidentally exposed to fentanyl), WHO says the aftereffects of naloxone are usually "minimal." However, for a habitual user, overdose reversal is quickly followed by withdrawal.
"The patient will wake up screaming and in pain," says Olivia Olmos. "So, please be prepared to handle a very upset patient and have enough support to assist you. It is so important to understand how to care for patients that have overdosed on opioids or any other medications."
Opioid withdrawal can be even more brutal than withdrawal from other drugs. Symptoms can include pain, muscle cramps, tremors, nausea, intense anxiety, insomnia, tachycardia and even convulsions. This may tempt the patient to make it all go away with another dose of opioids.
"Withdrawal is one of the more powerful factors driving dependence and addictive behaviors," explains Carrie Kappel, who in addition to her work at Betty Ford serves as associate director of the Health Care Professionals Program, which helps healthcare providers overcome substance use disorders. "So, our biggest challenge is to help patients manage their withdrawal symptoms and see the light at the end of the tunnel, so that they don't leave treatment early and/or return to using."
Staying away from opioids over the long term can be a daunting challenge for patients. "A desire to feel 'normal' again, to escape this seemingly permanent state of dysphoria, puts them at a high risk of relapse and, even more tragically, at a high risk of accidental overdose and death during relapse," Kappel says. "An opioid user who returns to the same dosage after losing his or her tolerance to that drug risks respiratory suppression and death."
Treatment Options
There are a number of treatment options for opioid dependency, including counseling and medication-assisted treatment with drugs such as buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. Kappel provides support, comfort and medication while connecting patients to others who have faced similar issues and can help them out of the vicious cycle of opioid use disorder.
If you have not been trained in models like SBIRT (screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment), you may want to talk to your colleagues or other professionals like social workers to learn what resources are available in your community for treating opioid use disorder. That way, you can advise patients appropriately should the need arise.
You can also refer patients to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA), which offers a free confidential hotline to help people find substance abuse treatment resources. The hotline, 1-800-662-4357, is available 24 hours a day and has operators who speak Spanish as well as English.
Treating overdoses won't end the opioid crisis, but nurses can play an important part in mitigating the epidemic by staying informed, helping to save people who have overdosed and advocating new ways to improve opioid treatment and overdose response.

Sidebar: Naloxone Nasal Spray
Naloxone is normally injected intramuscularly, but the FDA has now approved Narcan nasal spray in 2 mg and 4 mg doses. CVS, Walgreens and several other pharmacies now sell over-the-counter two-packs of these prepackaged, single-use sprayers, which are administered by spraying the complete dose into the patient's nostril.
Narcan nasal spray is more expensive than the injectable form, but is much easier for laypeople to use, presents no risk of needle stick and is just as effective as injection. Adapt Pharma's official product website, www.narcan.com, has a section for healthcare professionals that provides an instructional video and other clinical resources on the nasal spray.

The title is taken from Mona Eltahawy, although this post has nothing to do with her. This article reflects my personal understanding of terrorism as of 6/8/2017. Disclaimer: Some material is quoted directly from ISIS propaganda, so don't read if it's too disturbing.
When discussions on extremism take place, one of several possible reasons is usually cited as the main motivation behind groups like Daesh:
- Extremists attack the West because they "hate our freedom."
- Extremists attack the West purely out of hatred for Western foreign policy.
- Terrorists warp Islam to justify their twisted desires.
- Terrorist attacks take place because Islam itself promotes civilian murder and forced conversion.
The last possible reason is easily dismissed–if Islam itself promotes terrorism, why is "radical Islam" a relatively recent phenomenon? Islam itself has existed for 1,438 years. Why weren't Muslims crusading and perpetrating atrocities for 99% of this time? Have they only recently discovered what's written in the Qur'an? This is obviously implausible.
The second and third reasons, however, are less easily ignored. I would argue that extremism is caused both by errant Western foreign policy and misguided religious convictions.
The foreign policy aspect of terrorism is relatively simple to decode. During Operation Cyclone, the CIA armed and funded Afghan groups they termed the mujahideen. The aim was allegedly to fight Soviet troops during the USSR's war in Afghanistan.[1] Muslims from other countries also rushed to Afghanistan to aid the "jihadists." One of them was Osama bin Laden.[2]
Later, offshoots of the mujahideen provided the basis for groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban to establish themselves in the area. After 9/11, the United States apparently realized its mistakes, and declared war on Afghanistan. As of August 2016, over 31,000 civilians are estimated to have died in the war.[3]
The United States, however, was not done. After fostering pseudo-religious fervor and radicalization throughout Afghanistan, the US helpfully played the victim. Americans, we were told, were faced by an ominous threat. This threat was called Radical Islam–and to eradicate it, a massive War on Terror needed to be waged.
And the hypocrisy continues to play out. America funds and arms "Radical Islamist" groups when it suits them, but then realizes its mistakes, plays the victim, and takes thousands of (Muslim) civilian lives in the process.
America's logic seems to be this: "Terrorism is bad, folks, because it involves murdering innocent people. So let's wage War on Terror–by killing more innocent people."
And it is Muslims who are most affected by this lapse in logic. As Islamophobia mounts throughout the West, extremist groups like Daesh and Boko Haram capitalize on the tension, furthering the "Islam vs. the West" mentality that fuels radicalization in the first place.
As much as Western officials cower to admit it, Western foreign policy is directly linked to extremism and "radical Islamist" groups throughout the world.
This was further exemplified during America's invasion of Iraq in 2003. Iraq was left fractured, its civilians' lives destroyed. This created a convenient power vacuum that Daesh was clamoring to fill.[4] A mere "unintended consequence" of the United States' destructive foreign policy, it seems.
Again, US officials appeared flabbergasted by the horror they'd helped to create. The War on Terror had to be continued, this time by targeting Iraq and Syria with airstrikes (or, according to Trump, "bombing the sh*t out of ISIS")[5]. Over 200 civilians are said to have been killed in Mosul alone.[6]
The United States is a nation built on genocide and slavery. Although it claims to have renounced its past and now allegedly acts as a "beacon of humanity and democracy," it is clear that American compassion only applies to Westerners.
For instance, US officials don't mind unleashing the "mother of all bombs"[7] on Afghan children in the name of fighting terror. After all, white civilian lives matter far more than Central Asian/MENA lives do.
The hypocrisy of Western nations throughout the War on Terror is shocking in its magnitude. The facts remain–we simply cannot have a discussion on terrorism without delving into the ill effects of Western foreign policy.
The West also has a reputation for allying itself with corrupt "Muslim" leaders, such as those of the current Saudi regime. Saudi Arabia and the US constantly collaborate in destroying Yemen. The US's recent hundred-billion-dollar arms trade with Saudi resulted in the horrific deaths of Yemeni civilians as white phosphorus was unleashed on them, in flagrant violation of international regulatory law.[8]
Additionally, during Iraq's war with Iran, the US openly supported Iraq, aiding Saddam Hussein to help his regime avoid defeat.[9] This was before the aforementioned invasion of Iraq, through which Saddam was deposed and Daesh was birthed.
Ismail Royer, a former member of multiple jihadist groups, spent 14 years in prison housed with notorious bombers such as Richard Reid. On Reid's motivation for extremism, Royer states:
"He had been immersed in the ideology of Al Qaeda and he had been in Afghanistan for a long time. So he was able to intelligently debate me using the arguments he had absorbed, that had motivated him to try and blow up an airplane [full] of innocent people. Their belief really revolves around their hatred for the rulers of the Muslim world. And their hatred of the West really stems from their belief that the West is…supporting these people. Their strategy is that they want to attack to West to cause the West to retaliate against Muslims. They believe that the deaths of other Muslims [are] justifiable if it means awakening Muslims to their cause."[10]
Royer's interactions with terrorists clearly display these extremists' roundabout reasoning: "We don't like Muslim leaders, and Muslim leaders are backed by the West, which also murders our civilians on a daily basis. Maybe if we attack the West, Muslims living there will retaliate and help us."
But is it only foreign policy that fuels terrorism? I would argue that it isn't. Terrorism is too complex to be decoded simply by geopolitics. No matter what some Muslims insist, religion plays a significant part. The causes behind terrorism seem to be twofold–there are theological arguments behind extremist mindsets as well. Western invasion of Muslim lands forms the bedrock that terrorist attacks are built upon, but radicalization also derives support from widespread theological perspectives and misguided "religious" reasoning.
Daesh's most recent propaganda invention, Rumiyyah, is a disturbing trove of extremist thought. "Updated" and slightly shorter than Dabiq, it features "exhortations to warfare" and elaborations on "Just Terror Tactics" interspersed with fragments of Qur'anic verses and hadith.
Daesh's favorite Qur'anic excerpt seems to be "…and kill them wherever you find them…" (in reference to the idolaters, 9:5). Needless to say, Daesh members conveniently ignore the preceding verses, which give the context for this command and explain that idolaters who maintained their treaties are exempt from the declaration of war (9:4).
Daesh's warped view of Islam allows them to take Qur'anic verses on self-defense out of context and cherry-pick commands as they see fit. This is aided by the secondary hadith corpus, which contains (likely false) reports of horrific punishments the Prophet allegedly meted out. These "punishments" included amputation and mutilation, cited in Dabiq.[11]
In Rumiyyah's second issue, Daesh discusses "Just Terror Tactics." These include running over innocent civilians with vehicles, which is what occurred during the 2016 Bastille Day attack in Nice, France. Daesh backs up their unspeakable crimes with manipulated Qur'anic verses as usual, and urges self-proclaimed jihadists "not to be squeamish when fighting the kuffaar":[12]
"When considering a just terror operation, an ocean of thoughts might pour into one's mind, clouding the ability to make a final decision. Whether in regards to the type of operation one seeks to conduct or the details of that operation, it is easy for someone to be defeated by doubt if they have not received proper guidance or training. Yet, one need not be a military expert or a martial arts master, or even own a gun or rifle in order to carry out a massacre or to kill and injure several disbelievers and terrorize an entire nation. A hardened resolve, some basic planning, and reliance on Allah for success are enough for a single mujahid to bring untold misery to the enemies of Allah, inshaallah…any…squirms and discomforts are never an excuse for abandoning jihad, as the All Knowing and Most Wise said, "Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it contains that which you dislike. But perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not" (Al-Baqarah 216). In compliance with this and other verses on jihad, generations upon generations of mujahidin rose for the sake of Allah and struck the necks of the kuffar with their swords, severing limbs and piercing the fleshy meat of those who opposed Islam. "So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike their necks, until, when you have overwhelmed them with killing …" (Muhammad 4)."
Daesh also operates a system of institutionalized sexual slavery. It has taken thousands of minority women and children as prisoners since August 2014, when its fighters overtook villages in northern regions of Iraq.[13] Yazidi women are specifically targeted, since Daesh views them as "polytheists":[14]
"Mr. Barber, of the University of Chicago, said that the focus on Yazidis was likely because they are seen as polytheists, with an oral tradition rather than a written scripture. In the Islamic State's eyes that puts them on the fringe of despised unbelievers, even more than Christians and Jews, who are considered to have some limited protections under the Quran as 'People of the Book.'"
The Qur'an does not allow sexual slavery of any kind.[15] It prescribes 100 lashes as punishment for extramarital sex (Chapter 24) and explicitly prohibits men from forcing servant girls into prostitution/"lewdness" (24:33).
Daesh likely derives its permission for sexual slavery from misinterpreted verses of the Qur'an regarding ma malakat aymanakum (lit. "what your right hands possess"). It conveniently disregards other Qur'anic verses that disprove its twisted misinterpretation.[16]
Daesh also enshrines the theology of takfir, or excommunication. They dictate that anyone who opposes their particular warped brand of "Islam" is a kafir. This lends them perceived license to fight "Muslim moderates" and other adherents of mainstream Islam.
With respect to its worldview, Daesh is far removed from most aspects of normative Islam (but not all). It is seen by most Muslims as a violent kharijite/deviant group, already prophesied by the Prophet Muhammad (sws).[17]
However, Muslims who actively oppose Daesh also fail to recognize that some facets of extremist thought do find support in traditional Islamic discourse. This is not to say that they find support within the Qur'an–rather, the Qur'an fully disproves extremist ideologies.
What I mean to say is that some parts of traditional Islam are opposed to the Qur'an, to the extent that un-Qur'anic directives form the basis for civil law throughout much of the Muslim world.
Muslim-majority countries are racked with divisive rhetoric and pervasive intolerance. Minority Muslim sects often face inhuman levels of persecution, as do religious minorities. Execution is often used as a legal penalty for alleged blasphemy and apostasy, in explicit violation of the Qur'an.
According to BBC, in Pakistan alone, a total of 633 Muslims, 494 Ahmadis (seen as non-Muslims), 187 Christians and 21 Hindus have been accused under various clauses of the blasphemy law since 1987.[18] The recent mob lynching of Mashal Khan of Mardan stirred controversy throughout the world, drawing attention to Pakistan's massive human rights violations.[19]
Violence against women and honor killings are also unconscionably frequent, with victims usually denied justice.[20]
Stoning to death is seen as an appropriate punishment for adultery in multiple nations. It is a fundamentally gendered practice, targeting mainly women, and often lacks witnesses to prove that a "crime" was committed in the first place. The WLUML states:[21]
"Stoning is on the law books as a death penalty in 11 countries: Brunei, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria (in one-third of the country's states), Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Additionally, in Malaysia stoning is sanctioned as a death penalty regionally, despite being banned under national legislation."
Under the Taliban, "adulterers"–generally women–were stoned to death in public to atone for their sins.[22]
When faced with statistics like these, some Muslims will fervently deny that Islam has anything to do with such abominable legislation. However, the fact remains that many practices linked to extremism find support in mainstream Islamic discourse. This is a reality that cannot be avoided if Muslims truly wish to combat extremist/violent ideologies.
I suggest a double-sided solution to terrorism: Firstly, grievances over Western foreign policy should be acknowledged and dealt with. Secondly, Muslims must examine their own theological positions and eradicate un-Quranic legislation from their governing bodies.
Groups like Daesh and Al Qaeda should be categorically denounced, but this isn't enough: Their motives must be investigated and cut off at the roots. If we don't take action, the cycle will perpetuate itself, and the devastating civilian death toll will continue to rise.
