Clive Palmer (pictured), Australian mining magnate and leader of the nation's United Party, accused China of trying to take over the nation's resources. Although he was quickly lambasted by ruling Liberal Party Prime Minister Tony Abbott, it seems that there is now a populist movement against China's state-owned industries' aggressive acquisition of foreign companies and infrastructure.
"They want to take over our ports and get our resources for free," Palmer said during a television appearance. He went on to say that China's state-owned Citic Pacific Ltd., his partner in the world's biggest magnetite iron ore mine in Western Australia, are "mongrels" and "bastards" for the way they subjugate their own people and Australians.
Tony Abbott's government strongly encouraged expanding economic and trade relationships with China. Australia has a substantial balance of payments surplus with China. Australia exported $95 billion and imported $47 billion in 2013. Australia's main trading partner is China with 27% of total exports and 15% of total imports.
In 2010 and 2011, Australia reported consistent trade surpluses due to high prices of commodities being predominantly shipped to China. Metals, coal, oil, and natural gas account for 54% of total exports; machinery and transport equipment, computers and office machines, and telecommunication lasers account for about half of imports. But since 2012, the trade balance has fallen back into deficit due to a sharp in what China is willing to pay for commodities.
Prime Minister Abbott attacked Palmer's comments as "hugely damaging" and stressed the importance of Australia's relationship with its biggest trading partner. The powerful Australian Industry Group, the equivalent of America's Business Roundtable, condemned Palmer's comments as "ill-considered and inappropriate."
Palmer is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with China's state-owned Citic Pacific that alleges he siphoned off $12 million from a joint account to help finance his own political campaign. His rising United Party has three senators in Parliament's upper house, making it the key constituent that Abbott's government must win to pass legislation opposed by leftist Labors and Greens.
On an ABC-hosted evening show, Palmer denied Citic's allegations and called the company "Chinese mongrels." He added, "I'm saying that because they are communists, they shoot their own people, they haven't got a justice system, and they want to take over this country."
Joe Hockey, Treasurer of Australia, said "It's hugely damaging for Mr. Palmer to make those sorts of comments, because ultimately, he is the big beneficiary of a Chinese investment partner – someone that has paid to help him to develop his resources." He warned that such comments threaten to "bring down the rest of Australia because of your biases."
The Chinese embassy in Australia's capital city of Canberra responded: "The words of Mr. Clive Palmer MP are absurd and irresponsible… full of ignorance and prejudice."
Many Palmer supporters believe that the lawsuit filed by Citic against Palmer is retaliation for the United Party's opposition to the Liberal Party's efforts to finalize a free trade agreement with China.
Jacqui Lambie, one of the three United Party Senators, defended Palmer's statements:
If anybody thinks that we should have a national security and defense policy which ignores the threat of a Chinese Communist invasion – you're delusional and got rocks in your head. The Communist Chinese military capacity and level of threat to the Western world democracies is at an unprecedented and historical high.
Many Australians have quietly applauded Palmer's comments that their government is "bending over backwards" for China. From 2006 to 2012, China invested $52 billion in Australia and was seen as bringing jobs and prosperity to the "Land Down Under." But as many of those companies that China took over are now laying off Australians, populist political resentment has grown that Australia is now at the mercy of China.

It is so strange seeing all these people on your blog. I had zero idea who they were until I started reading here and now I start to recognize them.

Oh my gosh! So much to comment on on this post...heehee...
First of all, SJK and SHK...I honestly have not seen a bad photo of these two, Rowena! They just look so perfect. It's really great to the whole cast getting the accolades they deserve, and even better to hear how nice they are IRL, you know.
That's such great news about Jin Goo and his wife. expecting their second child:) As for Ji Won, that's the prettiest I've ever seen her. And Min Seok...he cleans up nicely!:D
I was going to ask if you're watching Doctors right now! I hear so much hype about it. I think I'll pass on it for now as well. MISAENG and Signal for sure though....
PS Han Hyo Joo is sooooooo pretty in that pic!

one day i will watch this show. it's on my list!!ReplyDelete
My favourite amongst all will be Kim Hye Soo, that editorial is beautiful and I must say that I have highest respect for actors like Jo Jin Woong who is very versatile and can carry both good and bad characters really well. Some actors are limited to certain roles and it's rare that we see one who is believable in different sorts of characters.

I follow a fashion blogger that has many of them. She wears them in different colors and they are beautiful. I'm glad you do posts like these, because it's introducing me to a number of talented actors (I was unaware of). I can't believe someone questioned you about who you choose to showcase on YOUR blog. OMG'd...people have no shame!
Kim Ji Won's editorial is such a lovely one. And, yes indeed, that metallic moto-jacket would be one to covet. Housewarming gifts like that are definitely from true dear friends! Have a great weekend. :)ReplyDelete
They're so photogenic, dammit! Something to look at until the next season I guess :)ReplyDelete

Yangkyu likes Jo Jin Woong. He reminds me of Kang In from SuperJunior lol
Kim Min Seok came out on King of Masked Singer as Song Joong Ki's character. No one suspected it was him and when he took his mask off the audience was shocked :)

The program manager of the bible society of Uganda Mr Rubarema Justus yesterday afternoon confirmed that there are refugees who now employ the lazy Ugandans who don't want to work.
Speaking to the press, Mr Rubarema said that among the refugees that the scripture union has served this year, many have learned how to become self employed making things like soap, petroleum jelly among others,while others have bought motor cycles which they give to Ugandans to ride as a business popularly known as "boda boda" in the name of earning a living.
The total number of refugees that the scripture union takes care of is approximately 650 people with Democratic Republic of Congo having the highest number being 400 as South Sudan have only 106 people.
The major cause of people turning into refugees is that many of these countries are affected by wars which lead them to migrate looking for greener pastures.
The criteria of getting them is an approach through churches where the churches submit the names of the refugees to the Bible Society of Uganda.
Rev. Francis Dioche from the Discipleship church, also a refugee, says that being a refugee is one of the hardest kind of life ever, you have to look for what to eat, pay house rent, and even look for school fees of children.
This gentleman survives on the paper beads and jewellery that he makes then looks for the market where to sell them.
He says that this is not a regular job since there are many people who do the same kind. He is a father of 2 children, a boy and a girl. The biggest commodity that customers over buy from him is the necklace.
He is contented with his job though only asks for more capital.

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto. Just Takara, Miyu and Keiji. And whatever random OC I decide to throw your way.
Author's Note- There used to be song lyrics in this story but I learned that you can't have songs that aren't yours. How cruel. Oh well. The song that used to go here was called "Breathe no More" by Evanescence.
Chapter Six
"Tsunade-sama said they'd be at the gates by now," Neji yelled to Naruto, "Let's hope they haven't left yet."
"Right!" Naruto nodded and leapt across another rooftop.
Both boys were currently in hot pursuit of Sasuke Uchiha and Nara Shikamaru. Somehow, both men managed to change into their anbu gear at miraculous speeds and were now going after Sakura and Ino. Naruto and the others had to scramble to get out of their wedding outfits and chase after them. Tsunade had sent Neji and Naruto to retrieve Sasuke and Shikamaru, while the rest headed off to Hokage Tower.
"I think I see them!" the kitsune squinted and saw two shadows, "And they're at the gates-just like Baa-chan said."
"Well don't let them get any further," Neji said as he swept down and landed straight in front of the gates. "Stop."
Sasuke and Shikamaru came to a screeching halt, both snarling and ripping off their masks. The Uchiha's eyes were still narrowed and tinted Sharingan. Sasuke glared at Neji. "Get out of the way," his voice was murderous, "Or I'll force you."
Neji froze and narrowed his eyes at the Uchiha, "You wouldn't."
"Try me," Sasuke snarled and fingered two kunai. Suddenly, Naruto appeared as well and positioned himself in front of Shikamaru.
"Move, Naruto," Shikamaru's voice was equally as threatening as Sasuke's.
"Tsunade-baachan said you guys can't just leave like that!" Naruto raised his hands to block them from leaving, "We have to go to her office and plan things out first!"
"We don't have time for that," Sasuke became more irritated by the second.
"Every second we waste Ino and Sakura could be one second closer to death," Shikamaru argued, "And I sure as hell am not going to let Ino die!"
"But-" Naruto stepped up.
"Damn it!" Sasuke yelled, "MOVE!" In his frustration, he aimed a kick at them. In return, Naruto launched a counter kick of his own.
"Stop!" a shrill voice shrieked and grabbed both of the boys' feet, blocking their attacks. Sasuke and Naruto withdrew their kicks and stared at the person who dared interrupt the fight. It was Tsunade. She was flustered. "Sasuke Uchiha and Nara Shikamaru: you two have no right to act impulsively like that. And for starters, you two don't even have a clue where to start looking!"
Sasuke and Shikamaru growled, clenching their fists. Though nobody saw, the ring Sakura gave to Sasuke began to glow.
"It's a special stone. It will lead you to the one you love if you ever happen to lose her..."
"Now come on," Tsunade sighed sadly, "Let's get to my office. We need to develop a plan." Reluctantly, Sasuke and Shikamaru sheathed their kunai before following the Hokage, Naruto and Neji trailing at their feet.
"Sakura and Ino were recently sent on a mission to the Village Hidden in the Trees," Tsunade said, "They were due to return the day after tomorrow." The Hokage sat at her desk, with a map of the five great shinobi nations splayed before her. Naruto, Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Tenten, Shizune, and Hinata were crowded around her. The rest of the anbu and ninja were sent to calm the rising crowd that had formed around Hokage Tower. They wanted to know what happened.
"We have no idea of their current status," the sannin said, "All Keiji told us that Sakura and Ino were taken by the Akatsuki- specifically Itachi Uchiha and his partner. Keiji also hinted that the girls might be in mortal danger."
"T-Tsunade-s-sama," Hinata asked, "W-What d-do you t-think will h-happen to them?" her voice crackled more than it usually did. True, over the years the once shy Hyuuga had gained more confidence and gradually began to lose her habit of stuttering, but in a situation like this it put her on edge and her nervousness returned. Naruto put a reassuring arm around his girlfriend's shoulders.
"I don't know," the Hokage sighed, "The Akatsuki are known to be ruthless- as well as twisted. We don't know what they could be doing with Sakura and Ino. It could be anything- possibly even torturing them for information."
Instantly, all of them sucked in a sharp breath. "I hope it's nothing like that," Shizune muttered.
"We all do," Neji said, "But the Akatsuki are unpredictable." Behind him, Sasuke grit his teeth. Shikamaru clenched his fists so hard that the nails left little red crescents in his flesh.
"Neji, Naruto, Sasuke, and Shikamaru," Tsunade said, "You four will be the expedition sent to retrieve Sakura and Ino." In the back of her head, Tsunade regretted allowing Sasuke and Shikamaru to join the group. Right now the boys were acting on impulse, and she feared they would do something rash that'd jeopardize the entire mission. But nonetheless, even if she forbade them, they'd go anyways, so she had no choice.
Suddenly, the door to the Hokage's office burst open as two familiar and flustered looking brides stumbled in. "Take us with you!" they shouted.
"What?" Naruto stare at them with an incredulous look, "No! This is way too dangerous for you guys!"
"We have some ninja training," Miyu said, "So we can be of some help."
"I-It's not s-safe," Hinata warned. Did these chuunins actually think they could handle an S-Class mission?
Takara's violet eyes widened as she feigned hurt. A hand flew to her chest in a dramatic manner and she lowered her head, forcing tears to come out. "B-But," she mock-sobbed, "I-I just w-want to b-be with m-my h-h-husband…"
"Correction," Tenten snarled, "Your fiancée. You two aren't officially married yet."
Takara flashed the weapons mistress a bitch-don't-mess-with-me look, "So? It was all that Kanji's fault. If he hadn't interrupted then Sasuke-kun and I would be happily married by now."
"Keiji," Tsunade corrected as Neji restrained Tenten from pummeling the redhead, "And if it weren't for him then we would have never known-"
"I don't care!" Takara snapped, "You could have gotten some other ninja to chase after Sakeru and what's-her-face, instead of ruining my wedding!" Takara was pissed. She had come so close to marrying Sasuke-so close to his fortune. All that money…so close yet so far.
"How can you be so insensitive!" Shizune near screamed. It was the first time anyone had seen her so hysterical like that, since Shizune was usually a calm and collected kunoichi. But Sakura was like a younger sister to her, so her worry was understandable.
Takara opened her mouth to retort but Tsunade beat her to it.
"STOP!" the sannin yelled and stomped her foot on the ground, causing the room to tremor a bit. Everyone immediately shut their mouths. Furiously, the Hokage turned towards Takara and Miyu, "There is no way two chuunin like you can be able to take on this mission! Leave it to the others. I am not putting you on the team, is that clear?"
"Hai," Miyu frowned. Takara merely snorted.
"Now get out of here," Tsunade pointed an angered finger towards the door.
Once the girls were outside, Naruto turned to Sasuke, "How can you marry that…that… bitch!" he yelled. Tenten, Hinata, and Neji nodded their heads in agreement. Sasuke growled and turned away gruffly.
"Continued, Tsunade," Shikamaru said in a frustrated voice. The longer he stayed in the office the more restless he became. The clock was ticking…
"You four have an hour to prepare," Tsunade said, "once at the gate, I will have messengers there with the necessary scrolls and documentation…"
Outside the Hokage's office, a certain redhead was pressing her ear up against the door, listening to the muffled voices chat inside. Miyu stood behind Takara, fiddling nervously with her fingers. As Tsunade started announcing the mission briefing, the devious gears in Takara's head started to turn.
"What are we going to do now?" Miyu said.
The redhead looked at her as if she was stupid, "We sneak in of course."
"And how do you propose we do that?"
Takara smirked, "Watch me."
The Akatsuki base was a cold and dark place, so inevitably gloomy with a depressive atmosphere that could dampen even Naruto's spirit. Cautiously, Ino and Sakura followed Itachi as he led them through the stone hallway, with Kisame at the rear to make sure they didn't escape. They had just arrived at the base.
After a few moments, Itachi had led them to a somewhat spacious chamber that they presumed to be the "living" room. As soon as they set foot in the room, Sakura and Ino felt someone slam them up against the cold stone wall- a clawed hand gripping their throats painfully.
"Who are you?" it hissed, "And what is your purpose here?"
"Easy, Zetsu," Kisame smirked and plopped down in a nearby chair, "Those girls are with us."
A few of the other members in the room raised their heads in interest. Was that so?
"Bringing back two girls? Alive?" a male with silver hair twirled his rosary beads, "Hmph. I would have rather had them killed."
The man Kisame referred to as Zetsu gave a growl at the girls before retreating back in his dark corner. As soon as he let them go, Sakura and Ino fell to the ground, coughing for air. Sakura looked up and got a good look at that Zetsu guy… and let's just say she didn't like what she saw. Half his body was tinted black, while the other was a blanched white. He seemed to be engulfed in a giant Venus flytrap, with pupil-less gold eyes to boot. Ino shivered. Were all the Akatsuki members monsters?
"You'll have to report to the leader about this," Zetsu said.
"Hn," Itachi grunted.
"We know," Kisame translated.
Suddenly, another man turned his attention to the girls. This man had blonde hair that was pulled up in a high ponytail, similar to Ino's… and he even had a stray clump of bangs like Ino. His eyes were colored a crystal blue… like Ino!
He suddenly stood up and strode over to Ino, scrutinizing her. She held her breath. "Un," he grumbled, "You stole my look, un."
"Huh?" Ino was dumfounded for a second, "I stole your look?" Before Deidara or Ino had time to continue, a voice interrupted them.
"You say you're our entertainers," another male by the name of Sasori folded his hands in front of his face, "Let's see what you got."
"W-What?" Ino drew back.
"Now?" Sakura said.
"Perhaps they need a little provoking," Kisame grinned and flashed every one of his sharp fang-like teeth. The girls gulped and complied.
Slowly, Sakura closed her eyes and imagined the tune in her head. As the melody became more familiar, she gently parted her lips and sang. At the same time, Ino unsurely took a step forward, letting her hips rock to the sweet melody.
It was a sad song… reflecting the very feelings of Sakura Haruno herself. At first her voice had come out crackled and a bit off-key, due to her nervousness. But after letting the lyrics flow from her, Sakura felt more comfortable.
Ino's dance started out a bit lopsided as well, her steps seemed a bit forced and her movements lacked grace. But like Sakura, the more she danced the more comfortable she felt and soon her body eased into an elegant sway.
In another corner of the room, a certain male with red hair took an interest to the pink haired one. Her song… it was so beautiful. Despite the rough beginning, it maintained a consistent flow and left a lasting effect… just how art should be. In Sasori's opinion, true art was something that lasted, an eternal beauty.
Deidara raised his head in interest and kept an especial eye on the blonde girl. He observed her, watching the way the muscles on her back swam when she moved. How her feet barely padded the gritty, stone floor, and how that long ponytail of hers trailed like a golden ribbon. Every fleeting second of her dance was a single moment of beauty, disappearing just as soon as it came. In Deidara's opinion, that was true art. Something that lasted for only a moment but left a lasting effect- like Ino's dance. Deidara smirked and rested his chin on the back of his hand.
Sakura sang louder, those rosy lips producing such magnificent vibrato that the other Akatsuki members couldn't help but giver their undivided attention. Line after line the kunoichi sang in perfect harmony, not a single note was off-key or flat. Everything was just simply divine.
Beside her, Ino's hips danced smoothly to the beat and it was enough to entice even the happiest married man. But then again, none of the Akatsuki was married…
Emotions poured from the lithe kunoichi, unbarred and raw. This was a side Sakura never let anyone see, this was the side of her that pained in rejection. The side spawned from Sasuke's marriage to Takara. She incorporated her soul into the song, captivating its true essence and the attention of a certain Uchiha, along with a certain puppet master. Sakura singer tuned out every other disturbance, focusing mainly on the song at hand.
By now Ino as well had closed her eyes and was lost to her own world, the world where nothing existed except herself and the dance she was performing. Her body rolled sensuously alongside the depressive song, so fitting that a certain silver haired man found it hard to tear his eyes away from her. For once, Hidan put his praying to a pause.
By the time the song ended, nobody noticed. Sakura was busy humming the last part- the part where the pianist, if there were any, ended with a musical accompaniment. The song and dance was so comforting and oddly relaxing that even Zetsu had ventured forth from his dark corner. Itachi smirked and stared at Sakura. He was a bit pleased with himself for finding such a talented girl. Sasori's thoughts were also occupied by a certain pink haired kunoichi. Deidara noticed Kisame's expression when he watched Ino. Ideas started forming in the blonde's head.
"Mildly surprised," Kakuzu was the first to talk, "That kunoichi from such a happy village like Konoha are capable of such a sad song."
"I wouldn't call it happy," Sakura muttered, her tone dripped with satire. An image of Sasuke flashed before her mind.
"Kisame," Itachi suddenly stood up, "Introduce the girls to the other members."
"And where are you going?" the shark man snorted.
"To report to the leader," Itachi pulled his cloak up higher and exited the room.
Ah, sorry about the crappy chapter. It's summer and I've been out having fun, so my head isn't spitting out as many ideas as it used to. I'll take a look at this chapter later and rewrite it.
Also, Zetsu will not be paired with anyone. Why? Well, because…he's creepy. Shiver. Neither will the Akatsuki leader, because so far the only thing I know about him is that he's… the Akatsuki leader. Kakuzu is another funky character, and if he were to be paired up with someone I'd stick him with Sakura but that left such a disturbing image that I decided to leave him single like Zetsu. There is another member. Not much is known about them, except that he/she might be a girl. Well, wouldn't want Yuri in this fic, now, would we? Anyways, I'll stop my rant now. Buh bye!

"Would you recommend an Arabian gelding if my not-so-experienced family members and friends are going to ride it?"-Anna
This is a very short question for a big subject. The shortest answer I can give you would be: I wouldn't exclude OR include a horse purely on the breed.
Sometimes the problem with really short questions is that it leaves more room for the reader to 'read into' the question. For example, in this question it would seem that Arabians are being put into the questionable category as far as safety for beginners. I have met Arabians that were the most gentle, kind and well trained horse that you could ask for. I have also seen some that were not for beginners. Is this because of the training? At least part of it is. Is it because that horse is naturally 'hotter'…that could be true also.
It is possible to find 'hot' horses in pretty much any breed…and in people too. Have you ever met a person who just had to be busy? Each horse and each person has their strengths and their weaknesses. Don't let preconceived notions about what certain breeds are make your decision. Judge each one on his own merit.
I once saw a draft horse that was 'hot' i.e.-prancy, excitable, etc. I wasn't around the horse and owner for a long time, but it appeared that the horse was well cared for, trained and had no history of abuse or mistreatment. The owner said they had always owned the horse and they also said the horse had always been very perky. My brain had been trained to think that all draft horses were lazy….another preconceived notion. Sometimes these notions also lead to breed prejudice and that is NOT a good thing.
Just think about all of the Thoroughbreds, Arabians and other breeds that people have preconceived notions about. What breeds do you think face the greatest prejudice? Do you think it is justified or unjustified? What is your happiest story about a horse that didn't fit the standard preconceived notion about that breed?

My go to CC Cream for years - until it was discontinued in summer of '17 - was Bobbi Brown's CC Cream SPF 35 in Blushed Nude, a perfect color match for my neutral/cool leaning N/NW15 normal to dry skin. I tried the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream SPF50 in Fair after reading its many positive reviews but sadly I didn't like its finish or color selection, I reviewed it separately if interested. A week ago I bought shade 20 in this Chanel CC Cream and have used it every day since. It has a soft floral/citrus scent which I can tolerate, although I prefer my skin care to be fragrance free wherever possible. I have sensitive skin which can result in rosacea, but the Chanel CC Cream has not caused any issues so far. The color 20 is fine, it's a neutral light beige and the soft finish is nice too, neither too dewy, nor completely matte. I apply it with my fingers, because of the high price tag of $55 per 1-ounce tube, I didn't want too much product to be soaked up by a brush or sponge. The formulation is elegant, not too runny or thick, easy to apply and blend, without being sticky which is important to me. I also very much appreciate the high SPF50 sun protection. Packaging is decent, a sturdy tube with a securely closing screw top closure, therefore adequate for travel. So far I'm overall pleased with this cream and I indicated that I would buy again, I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Let me start by saying this product is very expensive (CDN$70). However, a little goes a long way and it goes on beautifully. It feels luxurious, blends well (I just use my fingers), covers my rosacea, and gives a healthy glow to the skin.
It's great that this has SPF. However, as with any foundation with SPF, If I'm going to be out in the sun I always wear a layer of SS underneath, because in order to have adequate UV protection you'd need quite a lot of product on your face for it to be effective.
I have sensitive, combo, dehydrated skin, NC20 and I wear the 2nd lightest shade.

Best cc cream I have used I have to be so careful what I put on my skin because I have oily problem skin I have used other products like this from cheaper price ranges and found they did nothing but add oil to my face I can put this on and feel confident about my skin which is somthing I have trouble doing!

I have a few Chanel make up products that i swear by but this by far was the most overpriced and disappointing.
Unfortunately it doesn't last long on my face (i have dry to normal skin) and throughout the day it started to look a bit patchy on me. There are better CC creams out there that are worth the money. Unfortunately this one just doesn't cut it.

I tried this because I love the ease of BB and CC creams--they're one step. I have two other Chanel foundations(new to my collection that I love) so I thought this would be a homerun. I bought no 20 since I am that color in the foundations but it is a little light. It does oxidize some with wear. It covers way more that the Chanel foundations, both offer sheer to medium coverage, and this gives light to medium coverage because it has zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and octinoxinate as the sunscreen. It adds a luminous look. All good but here's the weird thing. After about 3 hours I checked my face to see how it was wearing and I had white streaks on my face: on my chin, forehead, down my cheeks. I had not worked out or walked in the rain. I had been watching TV. Nothing strenuous. I had used my fingers to apply. I don't know if this was an aberration but I will try again before I give up on it.

It doesn't help you if you have an oily skin because it doesn't have matte finish at all. But for the dry skin team, it's for you guys because it makes your face looks so glowing but not so oily.. but the colour range is not too many, i think that's not suitable for the medium & darker skin person..

This doesn't do oily skin any favors. I'm blotting twice a day. But that's normal for me so I'm nonplussed. It's normal. So +/- for me. The scent is pleasant like all chanel products. Chanel has ONE color selection (beige 30) I'm beige 20 NC20 so I was floored when the color "fit." [matched decently]. $$ product (USD$55) but worth it it's like a med coverage fdtn more than a CC. The only other CC I tried was Physicians Formula the rest were actual BB's. #winning

I get that folks like Fran and Nirv can't tell I'm joking, but all that aside... This movie is so good. Again, it's not conventional popcorn star wars shit, of course, but the way it uses stilted acting and makes you so uncomfortable with characters that are so recognizable, while at the same time so bizarre in how mundane they are it's great. And the last 30 minutes is so excruciatingly painful to watch.

Local leaders' confidence in state's direction erodes
LAPEER — For the first time since 2012, fewer than half of Michigan's local leaders believe the state is headed in the right direction — chief culprits include road funding fumbles, state tax policies and general dysfunction in Lansing, according to a University of Michigan survey.
But bright spots come from state policies that address economic issues such as right-to-work legislation, helping Detroit through bankruptcy, the Pure Michigan tourism campaign and careful management of the state budget, local officials reported on a survey by U-M's Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy in the Ford School of Public Policy.
The Michigan Public Policy Survey asked local leaders their opinions about the direction the state is headed and about the job performance of Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and the Michigan Legislature.
"The drop in optimism about the state's direction is found among officials across all political parties," said Tom Ivacko, CLOSUP administrator. "Most surprisingly, given the Republican party's monopoly on Michigan's state government, the largest drop in local leaders' support is found among Republican local leaders."

Adepix Review
Adepix is, among many other things, an industry leading fat burner that has gained quite a bit of steam in the past few months alone. Dieters are noticing Adepix, because it has a blend of weight loss ingredients that appeal to completely different crowds all in one. It has a little something for everyone. Just take a look for yourself.
Long Standing Weight Loss Ingredients
Call us boring, but we know that a lot of dieters like to see ingredients that they are familiar with, and who doesn't recognize caffeine. Outside of green tea (which is ironically a form of caffeine), caffeine in its most obvious form, is the most popular fat burner we have seen so far. Everybody knows its name, and it has been clinically tested as a powerful thermogenic fat burner.
You may not necessarily recognize phenylethylamine, but a growing number of people know exactly what it is. Found in chocolate, who can really ignore that? It has been referred to as the "love drug", and many have found that it can suppress appetite and improve mood at the same time. Adepix reviews have shown that this effect is certainly found in Adepix.
A Little Something New
Adepix, a product that seems to pride itself on diversity, also has a few ingredients you might not recognize at all, but are nonetheless powerful and potentially effective. Adepix uses ingredients starting with African mango, which has been tested and positively shown to promote healthy fat burning, appetite suppression, and even hormone control. Who knew a mango could do all that.
Followed with a compound comprised of olive leaf, lady's mantle, cumin, and mint, most don't necessarily know about this, but maybe we should. This particular combination of obscure ingredients is completely stimulant-free, and strong human studies have suggested that it will promote weight loss in the majority of people.
The Full Combiantion
Adepix lists all of the details we really need to know, and it doesn't hold anything back. Adepix also uses other ingredients that we didn't mention such as geranium, which is good for muscle growth and maintenance (i.e. healthy metabolism). We see quite a few reasons to believe that Adepix takes approaches that could help more dieters than not.
Is it right for everybody? Absolutely not. There is no diet pill that is specifically made for every dieter. We all have different body chemistries. Clinical studies simply show us what works for the majority of those tested, which is why tests have to be repeated, to see if those studies show the same outcome with a different group of test subjects.
Based on our notes, we have come to the conclusion that Adepix has real potential for healthy weight loss. If you have concerns about the caffeine in Adepix, please consult with your doctor to see if Adepix is an appropriate option for you. However, we see no reason why most dieters couldn't take Adepix without any major issues. If you're interested in Adepix, click here.

Robin Anish | The Table Is Set: Try some real crumb-y pancakes
Unless it's moldy, I don't like to waste bread even if I have to feed it to the birds to make good use of every last crumb. How often do the last few slices of bread in the bag or a few stale rolls get tossed? Loaves of fresh, artisan breads lose their appeal in a day or two and are thrown away. Such a waste.
So what is stale bread good for?
Bread pudding, french toast, savory stratas, stuffings and the thick slice of french bread dripping with melted cheese in a bowl of onion soup are all best made with stale bread, so it can soak up liquids without falling apart.
No doubt frugality resulted in the classic Tuscan panzanella salad, or bread salad, an old Italian recipe consisting of cubed, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, tossed with vinegar and oil, and cubes of stale bread that absorb all the wonderful juices and flavors from the vegetables.
Chunks of bread added to soup and simmered until they break down thickens the soup and makes it extra hearty and delicious.
Make homemade croutons using stale bread cubes, tossed with olive oil or melted butter and seasonings, and bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned and crisp. The same process can be used with slices of bread to make crispy little toasts as a base for hor d'oeuvres and as dippers.
I always have a container of bread crumbs in my freezer. The easiest thing to do with leftover bread is to run it through a food processor and freeze the crumbs so they are ready for use in meatloaf and meatballs, coating foods for frying or creating a crispy crust on casseroles.
Sweet or savory, you'd never again throw away bread after making bread dumplings.
One of my favorite desserts is apple brown betty, an old-fashioned recipe that layers apples with lots of buttered bread crumbs and baked. Recipes can be found using bread crumbs in cake and cookie recipes or in this recipe for bread crumb pancakes.
Bread crumb pancakes
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon melted butter
Microwave milk for 2 minutes, pour over bread crumbs and let stand for 15 minutes. Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Add to crumb mixture with the egg, honey and butter. Mix until well blended and smooth. Pour a 1/4 cup for each pancake onto a medium hot, greased griddle and cook until golden brown on each side. Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.

Hull striker Sone Aluko is likely to need an operation in a bid to clear up his Achilles problem.
Aluko has been sidelined since mid-January but had been expected to return to action at the end of this month.
However, after feeling some discomfort on his return to training last week, the 24-year-old has been instructed to rest completely for a fortnight with boss Steve Bruce fearing surgery is the most likely outcome.
"It's not looking good unfortunately, it looks as though he will need an operation," Bruce told Hull's official website.
"It's a huge blow and I felt physically sick on Monday when we found out. That's not just for the team, but for Sone too because he's had a wonderful start to his career here.
"We are going to give him a couple of weeks off and totally switch him off and see if that has any impact. I can't see that being the case, but you never know.
"It's a huge blow, but he'll be back and it's amazing what they can do these days. We'll see over the next few days."
Bruce also revealed defender Paul McShane will be out for "at least a couple of weeks" with a hamstring injury.

I've been thinking about writing this post for a couple weeks now and especially after watching that video of how Japan trains its kids to be independent. As we all know, the sharing community is kind of what our present looks like. It's something that has fascinated me for awhile because we are getting into cars with complete strangers when we Lyft or Uber and we are staying in the homes of strangers through Airbnb. Similarly, we're opening up our homes to strangers to stay with us for a price. Everything is for a price and sure, we all know that there are crazy stories that we've heard about of these things going absolutely wrong, but yet we still do it because of convenience.
It's funny to me because being in tech, I talk to my parents about this quite often and we talk about new start-ups that come up and how they're supposedly making our lives easier because they are less expensive than hotels, and we don't have to deal with parking in a busy city when we ride share. However, I'm reminded that a long time ago when I was a kid, these were all things that my parents told me I shouldn't do.
(Mom and Dad – don't get mad at me for this story)
A couple weekends ago, I was spending time with Dom at Dolores Park and had parked up a huge ass hill. I remembered as I was climbing up this hill in my black suede booties that it was so much easier coming down. I was sweating and out of breath already and I'd really only walked 1/3 of the way. It was a sunny Saturday so parking was scarce – a car drove up next to me on the sidewalk and asked me if I was parked nearby. I said, "Yes, but at the very top of the hill."
The three guys in the car looked to be my age and they asked me if I wanted a ride up to my car and immediately I shouted back, "I can't get in the car with you! You're a stranger!" (yeah, like I was 8 years old or something) I paused for a second. "I'm an Uber driver!" – the car said to me. I shot back, "Anyone can say that!" But ultimately, I had to think about my situation – and yes, I know this was a risky one and my mom's going to be so mad at me for this – but I got in the car because if I didn't, that car was going to drive right next to me at the pace of a glacier as I struggled up this hill for the next 15 minutes. I didn't want to go through that embarrassment, they didn't want to go through that and the long wait of cars behind us definitely didn't want to sit through that so it was fight or flight and obviously I'm here so the situation was fine. So yes, when I yelled to this car and was being stubborn, I was really being a hypocrite because every weekend, I get into a car with a stranger. All of us do.
It makes me wonder – what am I going to teach my own kids when I'm a parent? Are my kids going to be Ubering at age 10 when I can't get them to somewhere? Is this going to be normal? How do we teach our kids that strangers are people we have to avoid and ignore, but strangers that we pay to get us from Point A to Point B are okay?

The White House does have a swimming pool President Gerald Ford installed it in 1975 because he was an avid swimmer. His son took scuba lessons in it. Later, a cabana was built to allow those using the pool to change and shower. It also conceals the pool area from the West Wing of the White House. An underground passageway permits the first family to access to the pool from the West Wing without going outside. [1]
President Clinton added an outdoor spa to the pool area. In 2002, the cabana underwent renovations during which the roof was raised, windows were added and a solar array was placed on the roof. The solar array consists of pipes that collect heat from the sun to provide hot water to the cabana and to help heat the water in the spa. [1]
After the Fords, left the White House, Amy Carter, President Jimmy Carter's daughter, frequently made use of the pool. Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton also used the pool often. [1]
At one time, there was an indoor pool in the White House. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had it installed in 1933. Since he suffered from polio, he used the pool to perform exercises to improve his physical condition. [2] This pool was situated in the gallery area connecting the White House to the West Wing. President Truman used that pool, and President John F. Kennedy swam in it regularly at noontime and in the evenings. [3]
In 1975, President Richard Nixon had a tile floor laid over the pool, creating a press room on the site. [3]

For more information about the property, please visit our website: cabeachhomerentaldotcom
My daughter and I bought the townhome to be close to our family in Los Angeles, but wanted to be away from the big city and close to the ocean.
Shaun Dillehay purchased this townhome in 2013
After viewing 100's of properties, we immediately chose this townhome. We like the larger patio instead of a balcony. More room to spread out. Everything was clean and updated.
The weather is almost always 75-55 degrees year round. Everyone is so nice in Huntington Beach. It is a smaller town, but close to everything! Portable AC and heaters are provided.
Nice condo with all the amenities!
We enjoyed our stay.
We truly enjoyed our stay here. The condo is tastefully decorated and the owners/managers have created a homey atmosphere. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a comfortable queen size bed with a tv, dresser, closet, and futon I noticed a baby crib in the closet although we didn't need one. The smaller bedroom has two twin beds and is perfect for children or just for additional travel partners. The kitchen had pots and pans, dishes, silverware, and even a few basic pantry items. We enjoyed sipping coffee from the private patio in the back. The detached garage has a washer and dryer, as well as laundry supplies. Although we had some minor issues with the ceiling fan in the smaller bedroom, the owner and manager were super responsive and took care of the problem. Beyond the condo walls, we thought the pool was lovely and didn't see nor hear anything about swim lessons nor a home day care nearby, as another mentioned in their review. Of course, we were also at the beach quite a bit during the day, which is only 5 minutes away. I can't wait to return to HB and when I do, I hope to stay here again.
We stayed at this property for the month of August. The pictures you see, are what you get. The condo is decorated with many at home amenities. The bedroom with the two twin beds is great for teenagers and younger kids. The master bedroom is spacious and all the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and comes with a water filter attached to the kitchen sink. Great idea and saves on the expense and waste of bottled water.
Prior to your arrival, the owner sends you a list of expectations to do before you leave. One of the expectations is to ensure your garbage is placed outside of the garage ready for pick up on Thursday morning. We arrived late Thursday afternoon and either the guests before us or the property manager of the condo didn't put the garbage out Wednesday night, therefore missing the Thursday pick up. Both bins were completely full and we had to wait an entire week for them to be emptied. Once the garbage was picked up, there was a horrible, rancid liquid at the bottom of the black bin. We had to wait 3 days before the property manager could come out and clean it.
Unfortunately, our stay had many hiccups. The hand railing leading upstairs was coming out of the wall. The bath tub tap was leaking. In both cases we had to wait for the handy man to come and fix the items. At first, he didn't have the right materials, so we gave up two mornings for him to complete his work. The charcoal BBQ out back had rusted grates. We only used the BBQ once, and we had to use tin foil on the grates because of the rust. There were rusted knives, both cutlery and cutting. Dishes and cups were put away dirty, the handle came off the fridge. The back screen door didn't lock. Etc.
All the issues put a damper on our stay. I contacted the owner, and she apologized, which was nice. But it didn't make our stay any more enjoyable. Finally, if you have young kids, this is a great complex for them. There are a lot. For us, we have teenagers. So the swim lessons during the day in the pool and the day home two doors down, was too much for us. Our kids were young once too, and screaming and yelling at the pool goes hand in hand. But, swim lesson? And a day home? I wish we would have known before we booked.
The best part of our holiday was the location to the beach. It was 5 mins. by car or you can walk down to the beach too. My suggestion though, is to look around. There are plenty of homes/condos to choose from.
This townhouse is a charming and comfortable spot that I considered a great place for my friends and I to stay.
I would recommend this property for small groups (max 6) who are looking for a comfortable, conveniently located and affordable place to stay in Huntington.
The beach, pier and main street are an $8 UberX ride away.
It has a great kitchen with breakfast seating area as well as a social and comfortable dining/living room set up.
I came stocked with plenty of bathroom and beach towels as well adequate pillows and sheets (this isnt always the case with rentals).
The patio is small and simple but great to hang out and dry out beach towels and gear.
Overall solid choice and good for a buddies weekend in Huntington.
We had the best time in Huntington Beach. The weather was beautiful the whole week. Love those ocean breezes coming through the windows at our townhome.
I will have many fond memories of our time at the Del Way Townhome. It was nicely furnished and well stocked. Felt like we were at home because it was so comfortable. I woke every morning looking out the bedroom window to see the sun rising through the tropical trees and over the pool. Every night we watched the sunset from the back porch or at the beach.
There is so much to do in HB, CA. We went whale and dolphin watching in Newport Beach; watched the US Open Surfing Championship in Huntington Beach, heard great music in downtown HB, went to Disneyland, went to a jazz concert in the Hollywood Bowl, played golf just blocks from our townhome, went shopping at Fashion Island and Huntington Beach Mall and ate the best seafood at Sandy's on the beach. Surfing lessons were probably the best time I had! I can't wait to return. Kevin, the property manager took great care of us.

* Surfing.

|Legal Service India - Muslim women's right for dissolution of marriage - Muslim Divorce

|Latest Articles | Articles 2013 | Articles 2012 | Articles 2011 | Articles 2010 | Articles 2009 | Articles 2008 | Articles 2007 | Articles 2006 | Articles 2000-05
Among almost all the nations of antiquity, divorce was regarded as a natural corollary or marital rights. Romans, Hebrews, Israelis etc. all had divorce in one or the other form. Even though the provision of divorce was recognized in all religions Islam perhaps the first religion in the world which has expressly recognised the termination of marriage by way of divorce. In England divorce was introduced only 100 years back. In India among Hindus, it was allowed only by Hindu marriage act, 1955. Before the passing of the act divorce was not recognized by Hindu Law.
Divorce among the ancient Arabs was easy and of frequent occurrence. In fact, this tendency has even persisted to some extent, in Islamic law. It was regarded by prophet to be the most hateful before the Almighty God of all permitted things; for it prevented conjugal happiness and interfered with the proper bringing up of children.
Islamic reforms According to Ameer Ali, the reforms of Prophet Mohammad marked a new departure in the history of eastern legislations. The prophet of islam is reported to have said with Allah, the most detestable of all things permitted is divorce, and towards the end of his life he practically forbade its exercise by men without intervention of an arbiter or a judge. The Quran Ordains, if ye fear a breach between them twain(the husband and the wife), appoints an arbiter from his folk and an arbiter from her folks. If they desire amendment, Allah will make them of one mind. The Quran permits divorce partly because of some countenance to the customs and partly to enable men get rid of an odious union.
Prophet Mohammad restrained the power of divorce and gave to the women the right of obtaining the separation on reasonable grounds. The Prophet is reported to have said, if a women be prejudiced by a marriage, let it be broken off.
People are governed simultaneously by many different laws: laws recognized by the state i.e. codified and uncodified laws and informal laws such as customary practices which vary according to the cultural, social and political context. A half-hearted attempt was made in 1937 when the Shariat Application Act was passed with the intention to apply the Shariat, and not the customary laws, on the Muslim population. The Act said that in all personal matters, Shariat laws and not the customary laws would govern the Muslims, though it did specify the specific details of what would comprise this Shariat law. In reality, each sect in the Muslim community continued to follow its own traditions and customs. Moreover, there was opposition to a codified law for all Muslims from certain quarters who were benefiting from the customary practices. Thus, the first attempts at enacting a uniform Muslim Personal Law was rendered unsuccessful. The only advantage of this Act lay in its attempt to bring the Muslim community under one law despite its heterogeneity. It also brings home the fact that Muslims in India, post-Independence, have not made any serious attempt to codify diverse practices of its different schools of thought and jurisprudence.
Another attempt was made in 1939 with the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act. It laid down nine grounds on which a Muslim woman could seek divorce in the court. Islamic law then allowed a man to divorce his wife at will but a wife did not have the right either to give divorce or seek one. The only way out for them was to convert to another religion to annul her marriage. Alarmed at this trend, the Ulemas coaxed the British government to pass this Act. Although the Act allowed a woman approach the court for divorce, it did not curb the mans right to divorce his wife orally and unilaterally. The next step was the Muslim Women (Protection on Divorce) Act, which was enacted only in 1986 after the Shah Bano controversy. This law prescribed the right to maintenance for a Muslim woman after her divorce. Different courts interpreted the law differently and some women even continued to take resort to the Cr. P.C 125 [Criminal Procedure Code sec. 125] to demand maintenance.
The laws, passed in 1939 and 1986, were not the result of a concerted effort towards reforms. They were more a result of reactions by the conservatives who saw reforms in personal law as an infringement on their right to religion and a threat to their male identity.
DISSOLUTION OF MUSLIM MARRIAGE ACT, 1939 :Marriages, as they define, are made in heaven and solemnized on earth. It is a sacrament for Hindus, a sanctified contract for Muslims and a sacred knot for Christians. Husbands and wives vow for each other, yet there have been innumerable cases of betrayals by the spouses.
The complexity of modern society and its possible consequences such as fast changing socio economic conditions, the disintegration of the joint family structure, the rapid development of industrialization and urbanization, education and employment and laws giving equal status and rights to women, led a tremendous impact on the institution of marriage. Few decades ago divorce was considered as an evil, the grounds of divorce were very limited and it was sought only under compelling circumstances. Positions have however, changed now. Marriage is no longer treated as an indissoluble union. In fact, there has been a considerable legislative and judicial interference in the sphere of matrimonial laws during the past few decades all over the world. In view of the changing times, divorce laws are being substantially modified and liberalized.
Like Hindu law, followers of Islam have their own personal law, which states that Nikaah or marriage is a contract and may be permanent or temporary and permits a man four wives if he treats all of them equally. There should be a proposal or `offer,` made by or on behalf of one of the two parties;
The Muslim marriage law also states that to have a valid marriage under the Muslim law, if a person is of sound mind, normal and has attained puberty at the age of 15 his or her marriage cannot be performed without his or her consent. There are certain prohibited relationships, whose marriage is considered void. Like mother and son, grandmother and grandson, uncle and niece, brother and sister and nephew and aunt.
i. An `acceptance` of such proposal or `offer` by or on behalf of the other party;
ii. The `offer` and `acceptance,` both, must be expressed in the same meeting. There is no prescribed form for proposal and acceptance. However, a proposal, made at one meeting and an acceptance, made at another meeting, will not constitute a valid marriage;
iii. The offer and acceptance must be made in the presence of two male witnesses, or one male and two female witnesses, who must be adult Mohammedans of sound mind; iv. A marriage, contracted without witnesses, is not void but is considered irregular. Such irregularity can be cured by consummation. However, according to Shia law, the presence of witnesses is not necessary in any matter.
Dissolution of marriage can be by following ways:
By Divorce
A Husband may divorce in the following manner-
a. Talaq: which is release from the marriage tie immediately or eventually.
b. Ila: where a husband of sound mind takes a vow that he will abstain from all relationship from his wife.
c. Zihar: where husband sane and adult compares his wife to his mother or any other female within the prohibited degrees.
A wife may divorce in the following manner-
a. Talaqetafwiz: talaq by the wife under the husbands delegated power.
By Judicial Decree:
Following are the grounds on which a marriage maybe dissolved under the Marriage Act.
a. Lian: Where the wife is charged with adultery and the charge is false.She can file a regular suit for dissolution of marriage as a mere application to the court is not the proper procedure.
b. Fask: The cancellation, abolition, revocation, annulment. Before the passing of the dissolution of Marriage Act, Muslim women could only apply for the dissolution of their marriage under the doctrine of Fask.
the Muslim Law a marriage is dissolved either by the death of the husband
or wife, or by divorce. After the death of a wife, the husband may remarry
immediately. But the widow cannot remarry before a certain specified
period called Iddat expires.
Section 4: Effect of conversion to another faith.The renunciation of Islam by a married Muslim woman or her conversion to a faith other than Islam shall not by itself operate to dissolve her marriage:
Provided that after such renunciation, or conversion, the woman shall be entitled to obtain a decree for the dissolution of her marriage on any of the grounds mentioned in section 2;
Provided further that the provisions of this section shall not apply to a woman converted to Islam from some other faith who re-embraces her former faith.
Section 5: Right to dower not be affected.Nothing contained in this Act shall affect any right which a married woman may have under Muslim law to her dower or any part thereof on the dissolution of her marriage
Section 6: (Repeal of section 5 of Act, XXVI of 1937)Rep. by the Repealing and Amending Act, 1942 (XXV of 1942), section 2 and First Sch.
After the dissolution of marriage by any means discussed above the man and the woman can remarry immediately. In fact, unlike in a Hindu marriage, Muslim widow is encouraged to be remarried and that`s a responsibility of the Muslim community.
Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act 1939, has enabled women to seek divorce on the grounds of cruelty without having a free of loosing a substantial part of her property. Earlier, before the enactment of this act Muslim women did not have this advantage to file an application for divorce on the grounds of cruelty but now she can do so. This act has proved to be a boom for all Muslim women. Womens struggle are interconnected and complementary and therefore has a commitment to international solidarity.
DRAWBACKS: These laws were piecemeal, targeting only certain aspect of the personal law. For instance, the Dissolution of Muslim Marriage Act only laid down grounds on which women could seek divorce. It never curbed mens right to unilateral oral divorce nor did it lay down any procedure for the recovery of mehr, post-divorce maintenance or about the custody of children.All three instances of codification of certain aspects of Muslim personal law show that religious men from the community used their influence on the entire process to protect the Shariat from any pro-women reform. Accordingly all attempts at bringing about pro-women reforms and some uniformity in the Muslim law failed.Even statutory legislations are not without flaws. Some aspects of the law like the right of Muslim women to seek divorce and the post-divorce maintenance have been codified. But other aspects like inheritance, custody of children etc. have not been codified. On top of all these is the prevalence of customary laws, which the community has been following as a matter of tradition.In the last 20 years except for some pro-women judgments, there has been no forward movement in the effort to reform the Muslim law by codifying it and making it uniformly applicable to the entire Muslim population across the country.
SUGGESTIONS: The Muslim women, meanwhile, continued to suffer because of polygamy, oral unilateral divorce, low mehr amounts, lack of maintenance and other ills which plague Muslim law. In the last two decades except for some pro-women judgments, there has been no forward movement in the effort to reform the Muslim law by codifying it and making it uniformly applicable to the entire Muslim population across the country. Therefore a reform should be brought in the Muslim law to uplift the position of the women. More of women organizations should be encouraged because of the fact that the womens organizations have played a remarkable role in highlighting the plight of the Muslim women. They have continued to play a catalyst in organizing the Muslim women around the issues like demand for the abolition of oral unilateral divorce. This movement got a fillip recently with the fatwa against Imrana. Imrana, a mother of five children, from Muzaffar Nagar, was raped by her own father-in-law. The shariah jamaat passed a fatwa, which nullified Imranas marriage with her husband. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board, later put its stamp of approval on the fatwa issued by the Darul Uloom Deobands above ruling. It also pinned down the State in taking more responsibility in protecting the rights of the Muslim women who are equal citizens and are entitled to all such benefits, which the women of other faiths inherit by right. The progressive elements within the Muslim community must make themselves known to the self-styled regressive leaders and to the State and demand a gender-just codified Muslim law.
