It was more then a month ago that the Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) was dissolved and the Malaysian Women Hockey Association (MWHA) followed suit a week later. For historical significance, the dates were December 17 and December 23 respectively.
However checks with the Sports Commissioner's Office in early January revealed that neither body had sent in the official forms citing the dissolution and hence it was surprising that the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) was calling for entries for the Junior Hockey League that is already at its halfway stage.
And while one continues to ponder on the status of MHF and MWHA, hockey activities are ongoing, albeit through the respective bodies, though on paper the men's body have started calling themselves as MHC.
Which leave a question mark on the legality of actions being undertaken by both bodies. And with a player in the MHC-MILO-NSC Junior Hockey League being shown a red card, it will be interesting to see what action and the composition of the Disciplinary Board should the matter be referred to the DB.
Another interesting issue is on the composition of the MHC Council for besides the President and Deputy President, there will be a total of 12 Vice Presidents, with two being accorded the status of Senior Vice Presidents.
MWHA has already decided on their composition of officials and what is interesting is that they have nominated their Secretary, Prof Dr. S. Shamala as the Senior Vice President in the new MHC line up.
That move was undertaken as the MWHA was fully aware that the highly qualified Shamala, who is an elected member of the Asian Hockey Federation may be reduced to the Assistant Secretary position given the fact that the current MHF Secretary's relationship with Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, the President of MHC. Thus MWHA has nominated a former player Nurfarha Hashim as the Assistant Secretary of MHC.
The other nominations from MWHA are Deputy President YM Raja Puan Sri Dato' Noora Ashikin bte Raja Abdullah, Vice Presidents (5): Jenniffer Williams, Maheswari Kanniah, Dato' Mary Ritchie, Nagula Sivasothy and Jeyadhevi Subramaniam.
For assistant treasurer MWHA has nominated Juriah Abdul Wahab Fenner while the two Independent Members Siti Patimah Hassan and Datin Noraini Jaafar.
It is learnt that Maninderjit together with Tengku Abdullah and influential Vice President Manjit Majid Abdullah held a discussion last Friday to discuss the composition of the 13 sub committees under MHC besides re-structuring the administration of the MHC office given that they two bodies will have a single administration.
Here is where the plot thickens as the likes of Manjit (coaching) Dato Nur Azmi Ahmad ( National Team Management), Dato Abdul Rahim Ariff (Competitions) and Ken Pereira (Development) hold vital committees which surely they will not be willing to let go.
The positions at sub committees at stake are Coaaching, Competitions, Development, Disciplinary, Finance, High Performance, Indoor, Legal and Special Projects, Marketing & Sponsorship, Medical, National Team Management Committee and Umpiring.
And the catch 22 situation for Tengku Abdullah will be the new MHC constitution that states - " Article 18.4.2 : Each Vice President shall be the Co-Chairman of at least one (1) Committee of MHC as decided by the Executive Board
Sapura enhanced their position at the top of Division Two A when they defeated PHK-MSS Kelantan 6-0 in the MHC-MILO-NSC Junior Hockey League match at the KL Hockey Stadium this evening.
In Division One, SSTMI-Thunderbolts hammered Petaling Jaya Municipal Council 6-1 at the Taman Daya Hockey Stadium in Johor Baru to consolidate their position at the top of the standings.
At the Ministry of Education Stadium, MBI-Anderson defeated Bukit Jalil Sports School Juniors 4-2.

With modern synthetic varieties of surgical gloves becoming more abundant and "latex" like I had an increased interest in getting some to see how they compared to biogel and sterile Kimberly Clarke latex. I also happened stumbled across a box of size 6.5 cardinal protexis PI gloves on amazon delivered prime for 35 and snatched them up in an instant.
Upon receiving the box I opened a pair to gauge how they compared to latex surgical gloves. Surprisingly they were very similar to latex and if they had not be labeled latex free I would have had an impossible time telling. They definitely have a different scent than standard latex slightly more chemically and were a cream translucent color the insides felt silky and the outside smooth with a slight bisque finish. I knew right away I had to get my SO into a pair.
Luckily for me not only is she very willing to indulge my gloves fantasy but she also happened to be horny the day they arrived. To torture me further she kept slipping into tight latex gloves while cooking to not get her hands dirty and everytime she snapped on a pair I kept wondering what her hands would look like in a pair of the new surgical gloves that just came.
I didn't have to wait long as we were lying in bed I could see her tight yoga pant getting wet and went down on her. Once she was well lubricated I told her if she wanted to be in charge that she had to snap on a pair of gloves. As she continued to rub herself I opened up a package of the protexis PI and gave her the pouch. Like an well trained surgeon she had quickly donned the polyisoprene gloves which sat perfectly stretched around her hand gently accentuating her nails. As she snapped them on her eyes lit up and she said these are nice and pulled them even tighter up her up smartly snapping them into place. From there she grabbed a cock ring and using both hands laboriously tugged it over my dick while stroking it harder. She then thrust my cock into her dripping vagina and her gloved hands began stroking and gripping at my body encouraging me to fuck her. They felt so smooth and luxurious yet clinical at the same time. As her hands got sweater the gloves stayed up perfect but got more translucent and she began to rub her clit and use her to to climax.
While she recovered she made me get off and used one hand to play with my engorged dick slowly teasing my cock ring off while edging me in gloves lightly lubricated by her cum. Once she had me twitching in her hands she made me mount her and grab me and held be down on top of her with gloved hands forcing me to thrust deep. She would stick the gloves in my mouth and make me lick the them before using them to massage my premium and cause me to cum.
So 10 out of 10 would recommend polyisoprene gloves as an alternative to latex. Thanks for reading

Re: Surgical Isoprene Gloved Hand Job
My experience is the same. Isoprene gloves are much more like latex gloves than nitrile gloves.
But most times isoprene gloves are to expensive for having short fun. In case of latex allergy they are great options.

Re: Surgical Isoprene Gloved Hand Job
Good read. I like the isoprene too, feels just like latex but the downfall is the smell. Smells way too chemically. I like to smell the natural latex scent

Re: Surgical Isoprene Gloved Hand Job
Yeah I agree with both of you generally more expensive, and they definitely smell wierd. While they are smooth like latex they dont have as soft of a feel of some latex gloves. Looks like I have a whole case now so I'll just 'have' to use them

Message to the Albanian Section of the Comintern (SH)
on occasion of the 32nd anniversary of death
of comrade Enver Hoxha
April 11, 1985 – April 11, 2017
We greet all comrades
of the Albanian Section of the Comintern (SH),
all Albanian communists, workers and poor peasants,
all Stalinist-Hoxhaists, revolutionaries, workers and toilers all over the world !
Today, we are in mourning over the grave loss of Comrade Enver Hoxha, the Fifth Classic of Marxism-Leninism, whose heart stopped beating on April 11th 1985.
Comrade Enver Hoxha is the beloved son and leader of the heroic Albanian working class and the Albanian people. Comrade Enver Hoxha was supreme commander of the Liberation Army which defeated the fascist occupation, transformed the people's revolution victoriously into the socialist revolution, established the dictatorship of the proletariat and guided Albania to full developed socialism. Comrade Enver Hoxha, the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism, was the leader of the world proletariat and the Marxist-Leninist world movement after the death of Stalin.
On occasion of its centenary, we publish some lessons of comrade Enver Hoxha on the world historical significance of the October Revolution .
Enver Hoxha called the October Revolution:
"The greatest event in world history, the beginning of a new era of human development, the era of the destruction of the capitalist world system, the era of the triumph of socialism."
"As Lenin predicted, the October Revolution was followed by millions of people, and socialism became a world system."
"The national liberation struggle of the colonial peoples developed under the influence of the October Revolution. The socialist October revolution of brought a death blow to the colonial system of imperialism."
"The great socialist October revolution is the embodiment of the immortal Leninist principles of proletarian internationalism.The Socialist October Revolution was a mammoth revolution not only in the field of economic and socio-political relations, but also a revolution in the sense of the working class ideology. It achieved the greatest victory of Marxism-Leninism over the bourgeois ideology, the ideology of opportunism and reformism. The October Revolution was a blow of Marxism-Leninism against revisionists, social-chauvinists and reactionary ideology of nationalism. The revolution of October, tore down the Second International, this the servant of the bourgeoisie and world imperialism and this enemies of the proletariat and the international workers movement."
"As a result of our national liberation war, the people of Albania liberated their country from foreign invaders under the influence of the October Revolution. If there would have been no victory of the October revolution, if the Soviet government would not have existed, and if Lenin would not have published the secret treaties and thus revealed the true face of imperialist purposes, then the victory of our people would not have been possible."
"Just at a time when the movement of the Albanian people for democratic rights reached the climax under the influence of the Socialist October revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of the glorious Bolshevik party and the first socialist state, dies the greatest friend of the Albanian people. By the initiative of the progressive deputies there were five minutes of silence in the Parliament in memory of the great Lenin. There was no such thing in any parliament in the world. Soon after, the insurgents' forces conquered various cities and centers of Albania. On the 10th of June, the Albanian capital fell into the hands of the insurgents, and on the same day the insurrection prevailed all over the country.
Immediately after the fall of the feudal regime, a democratic government was formed, which was the most advanced government in the Balkans at that time.
Only a few days after its founding, the government had decided to establish regular diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union.
The Albanian government was the first government to recognize the Soviet Union, and vice versa, the Soviet Union was the first and only country to recognize the Albanian Democratic government. The counterrevolution began in December 1924 with the direct support of the Yugoslav armed forces and mercenaries of the White Guard. The democratic government was overthrown and replaced by the oppressive, feudal-bourgeois regime of Ahmet Zogu. This regime liquidated all the democratic freedoms the masses had gained in the June Revolution and opened the doors to the imperialism of the West. But in the Albanian people the revolutionary spirit of the October revolution could not be extinguished. The Albanian people were firmly convinced that Albania would one day regain its freedom and national independence, and to overthrow the power of landlords and capitalists. The workers' movement awoke with the October Revolution. There were the first strikes of the working class in various industrial centers in the country. The largest and most organized strikes at this time were the strikes of the miners in Vlora Selenice, which began in 1923 and ended with the victory of the workers. Under the Zogu regime and by the exploitation of Italian imperialists, working conditions were so bad that they did not differ from those in the colonial countries. The workers worked 12 to 14 hours a day and in some cases up to 16 hours. The tyrannical Zogu regime could not prevent the news of the free life and work of the workers and peasants in the Soviet Union. Since the first years after the founding of the feudal bourgeois regime of King Zogu, Communist ideas and news about life in the Soviet Union have been spreading.
Since 1928 the first Communist cells have been founded in Korca. In 1929 the first communist groups were founded in Albania.
Ali Kelmendi has organized the further development of the communist movement in our country. Some Communist comrades went to the Soviet Union after the defeat of the democratic forces in 1924. There they learned the Marxist-Leninist ideas and returned to Albania in the years 1930-1933. These comrades received instructions from the Comintern.
Since 1936, also other communist groups in Albania, such as those in Shkodra, were founded. Under most difficult conditions of illegality, the communist groups in Albania organized the class struggle.In the light of the candles the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin were secretly translated and the teachings of the October revolution illegally spread in Albania. In the school of the Great October Revolution were educated revolutionaries of our country. Communists and workers secretly listened Radio Moscow in cellars and spread the news from the Soviet Union through oral propaganda. Many members of the communist groups, workers, students and intellectuals were arrested, exiled, and persecuted for propaganda against the regime and against fascism, especially because of organizing Soviet propaganda. But this anti-communist terror could not break the love and confidence of our people in the Soviet Union.
Our people continued to believe in the Soviet Union when Fascist Italy had cruelly attacked our country in April 1939. The Albanian people organized the resistance and welcomed the fascist invaders with rifles.
Neither populism nor terror, neither the assimilation policy nor the colonization of the Italian fascists couldforce our people to their knees. Under the leadership of the Communists, the masses, patriots and the Albanian youth began with demonstrations, strikes, unrest, sabotage, assassinations. They made the first bold steps to armed resistance to the enemies. In 1941 Hitler-Germany attempted to destroy the achievements of the October Revolution with his attack on the Soviet Union.
The entry of the Soviet Union into the war gave the impetus for the resistance of the Albanian people against the occupiers and traitors. With the Soviet Union, the Second World War turned into an anti-imperialist war.
"Long live the Albanian people! Long live the Soviet Union! Long live the Red Army, the liberation of the oppressed peoples!" [Call of a communist group in August 1941]
"All our people, workers, peasants, patriotic intellectuals, youth and women of Albania, under the leadership of the Communist Party, took up arms and fought heroically and selflessly as never before.
Strengthened by the historic victories of the Soviet army, Albania's glorious partisans organized the war of liberation against Hitler's hordes under extremely difficult conditions and in a disproportionate balance of power. We defeated the fascist invaders of Italy and Germany and the internal traitors. The Albanian people freed themselves from centuries of slavery. On the 29th of November 1944, our people were the masters of their own country for the first time.
After the liberation of our homeland, our people's armies continued the struggle against the Hitler invaders outside the borders, in the countries of Yugoslavia. Thus we fulfilled our high international duty.
Our Albanian partisans fought, and shed their blood, side by side with the Yugoslav partisans in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Metohija for the liberation of the peoples of Yugoslavia."
"We have said again and again that our successes have been made possible primarily because the Party of Labor Albania has faithfully and creatively implemented Marxism - Leninism and the fundamental doctrines of the great socialist October revolution.
Our socialism is based on the experience, the help and support of the first socialist state in the world, the USSR.
The socialist construction in Albania is a prove to Lenin's statement that the October revolution was not a specifically national revolution, but had assumed an international character. The teachings of the October revolution have retained their international significance up to this day."
"The universal significance of the general laws, the fundamental lessons of the October revolution, are:
The leadership of the party of the working class, guided by the Marxist-Leninist science in all its activities, a party in unity with the masses, a party that teaches the masses Marxism-Leninism, a party which leads the working class and the toiling masses to the overthrow of capitalism and to the construction of socialism. The political power of the bourgeoisie can only be smashed by the socialist revolution. To build socialist society, the working class needs its political power, that is, the dictatorship of the proletariat over the landlords and the bourgeoisie, based on a solid alliance between the working class and the peasantry. The October revolution thus creates the prerequisite for the nationalization of industry and gradual collectivization of agriculture. In this way, social ownership increases with the most important means of production. The development of the economy and socialist culture is planned on the basis of maximum satisfaction of the needs of the people. The October revolution was the prerequisite for the creation of the socialist state. The party conducts the class struggle to defend the victory of revolution and acts faithfully according to the principles of proletarian internationalism."
"The basic teachings of the October revolution apply to all communist and workers' parties and all countries. However, these teachings must be modified according to the particular conditions of each country. No Marxist claims that all Soviet experience should be dogmatically and mechanically applied. Only enemies of today's Marxism-Leninism, only revisionists preach the nationalist "specific path of socialism" on the pretext of allegedly "avoiding" the mechanical copying of the Soviet experience. With the propagation of the national character of the "specific way of socialism", the revisionists consciously try to liquidate the universal doctrines of the October revolution. The road that we have gone up to today is the road of the October revolution, the road of the Soviet Union. The Party of Labour of Albania has creatively implemented the teachings of the October and the experience of socialist construction in the Soviet Union, namely not mechanically, but according to our particular circumstances.
The Party of Labour of Albania is a new-type party, the only party of the working class and the working masses who followed faithfully the way which the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had paved."
"Today, the Albanian people enjoy full freedom and independence and the building of a new life, socialism. The victories of our country are based on the most important doctrines of the October Social Revolution, are the result of the triumph of the ideas of Marxism-Leninism."
"Despite the bourgeois howls "about the crisis of communism" there is no force in the world to stop the destruction of the old capitalist system, there is no force in the world to prevent the historical development of mankind to communism: The socialist October revolution has triumphed, and will always triumph.
The great October revolution paved the way for a powerful Soviet state. The October Revolution is the great lighthouse that illuminates the way to the liberation of the peoples. With every new day, the ideas of socialism fill more and more hearts and souls of millions of people all over the world. The struggle against the hated colonial system of imperialism is seething among the oppressed peoples of Asia and Africa. At the head of the world proletariat, the communist and workers' parties march along the path of the great socialist October revolution. The Communist and workers' parties of all countries raise the glorious banner of Marxism-Leninism, the victorious banner of the October social revolution." (Excerpts of Enver Hoxha: "INFLUENCE OF THE SOCIALIST OCTOBER REVOLUTION ON ALBANIA" - November 1957)
October Revolution – lest we forget ! You are immortal ! We proletarian internationalists don' t give up the fight for your rebirth ! We do not capitulate as the Neo-Revisionists have done so shamefully ! We are the invincible and true banner bearers of Comrade Enver Hoxha ! The victory is ours!"

Message of the Comintern (SH) on occasion of the 29th day of death of comrade Enver Hoxha
April 11, 1985 – April 11, 2014
Today, 29 years ago, our beloved comrade Enver Hoxha passed away. The death of the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism represented a terrible loss to the entire world proletariat and to all those fighting against all kinds of exploitation and oppression.
Since comrade Stalin's death, Enver's brilliant teachings have been the guiding light to all those who remain faithful to authentic socialism, to all those who refuse revisionist and neo-revisionist misleading and calumnies, to all those who continued to embrace genuine Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism. Since always, all sorts of anti-communists tried to depict comrade Enver as a ruthless "communist tyrant" in order to keep world proletarians and workers away from true socialism that could liberate them from wage slavagist bondage. But in spite of such lies and slanders, comrade Enver's name will always be synonym of Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist purity of principles, of communist audacity. The capitalists, imperialists and revisionists have always attempted to destroy Enver Hoxha's revolutionary proletarian teachings and legacy. But they are condemned to failure.
During most of the years in which comrade Enver stood as the leader of socialist Albania, revisionism in power extended its webs all around the world. Khrushchevist revisionists took power in Soviet Union and transformed it into an imperialist superpower. Yugoslav Titoites defended their bourgeois "self-administrative" poison. Maoists climbed to power in China, established a bourgeois-capitalist regime and also paved the way towards its imperialist ascension. Eurocommunists did their utmost to convince workers of their anti-communist garbage preaching the end of class struggle and the impossibility of socialist revolution. And we could mention many more, both in power and without power (Trotskyists, Castroists-Guevarists, etc.).
In contrast to all these groups of revisionists, comrade Enver's Albania always remained as a loyal example of a country authentically building socialism, relying on its own forces to keep itself invincible in face of the immense pressures of capitalist-revisionist-imperialist encirclement. And indeed, while comrade Enver was alive, nobody could ever touch tiny Albania, nobody could deviate it from its red path. World anti-communists had to wait until the neo-revisionist clique of Alia took power to accomplish these aims. With its collectivized economy and revolutionary society free from wage slavery, exploitation and oppression, Enver's Albania eventually became the last and only proletarian dictatorship in the world, the only nation still truly applying and living in accord with Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism.
Moreover, it was at the head of the glorious Party of Labour of Albania that comrade Enver Hoxha firmly traversed his way as the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism. Far from being simply an "enriching contribution" and far from being something merely limited to Albanian borders, Hoxhaism is in truth the highest stage of development of Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism in the conditions of revisionism in power and of capitalist-revisionist-imperialist encirclement. And so, comrade Enver occupies nowadays his deserved place side by side with Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin as a Classic of Marxism-Leninism. To uphold and defend comrade Enver's revolutionary and proletarian legacy is to also to uphold and defend the revolutionary and proletarian legacy of all Classics of Marxism-Leninism as a whole. And in the same manner, if we don't accept and defend Enver as a Classic, we are automatically and necessarily also rejecting all the other four Classics together with all their teachings.
Because of all these reasons, comrade Enver's lessons continue to be our guiding light to struggle against capitalist-imperialist world system and for world proletarian socialist revolution. Nowadays, circumstances may differ from those of comrade Enver's times in some aspects. For example, Soviet social-imperialist superpower was substituted by Chinese social-imperialist superpower. American imperialism is no longer the indisputably most powerful imperialist superpower. The process of capitalist-imperialist globalization has further accelerated. The old kinds of modern revisionists are fading away and are being replaced by neo-revisionists ("anti-revisionists" in words but revisionists in deeds).
But in spite of these differences, just like occurred in Enver's times, living conditions of world oppressed and exploited classes are worsening more and more. Poverty, famine and destitution are increasing as never before. Imperialist wars and conflicts are breaking out in every corner of the globe. The historic necessity of definitively abolishing all kinds of capitalism, imperialism, revisionism, exploitation, oppression, slavery, war, fascism, racism, etc., is today more urgent than ever.
It is up to us, Marxists-Leninists-Stalinists-Hoxhaists, to honour the legacy of comrade Enver Hoxha by correctly applying his immortal teachings in today's conditions. Enver's infallible and undying teachings are an authentic guiding light for all those who follow the path towards world socialist revolution, world proletarian dictatorship, world socialism and world communism.
Long live comrade Enver Hoxha – the glorious 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism!
Comrade Enver is immortal – his red revolutionary genius enlightens our path towards the victorious world socialist revolution!
He will live forever in hearts and minds of every oppressed and exploited worker and of every communist!
All capitalist-revisionist lies and calumnies will never erase comrade Enver's glorious legacy!
Long live the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Enver Hoxha!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Hoxhaism!
Death to world capitalist-imperialist order and to its revisionist, neo-revisionist and social-fascist lackeys!
Long live world armed proletarian, socialist revolution!
Long live world proletarian dictatorship!
Long live world socialism and world communism!
Long live the Comintern (SH) – the only authentic defender of comrade Enver's revolutionary and proletarian legacy!
Message to the Albanian Section of the Comintern (SH)
on occasion of the 30th anniversary of death
of comrade Enver Hoxha
April 11, 1985 – April 11, 2015
Today, 30 years ago, comrade Enver – the glorious 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism - passed away. During these 30 years, the world communist movement had to face many serious problems and obstacles, but it also accomplished many glorious victories against all kinds of enemies whose objective is to prevent world proletarian and working classes to put a definitive end to exploitation and oppression. The names of the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism in general, and that of comrade Enver in particular are deeply linked with all and each one of these victories, as their immortal teachings must always lead the exploited and oppressed classes in their quest for the achievement of a classless, stateless and propertyless society.
As the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism, comrade Enver is a leader and teacher of the world proletariat, he is one of the greatest anti-revisionists of all times, who spent his life waging a fearless struggle against all kinds of revisionisms, from Yugoslav/Titoist and modern revisionism to Maoist/Chinese neo-revisionism and its reactionary "third world" theories, etc. He is also a genial Marxist-Leninist theoretician who wrote an uncountable number of books, documents, articles, texts, etc. dedicated to anti-revisionist struggle. The lessons and teachings put forward by comrade Enver are not only applicable to Albania, but they form a universal whole that constitutes a weapon so valuable that we can say that, nowadays, without comrade Enver's teachings and without his recognizance as the 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism, the victory of socialist revolution is impossible.
Under comrade Enver's glorious leadership, Albania always remained a state of proletarian dictatorship led by an authentic Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist party, socialist Albania counted with one of the most brilliant communist leaders that ever lived as head of state: comrade Enver Hoxha. This also explains why, since the middle 50's, while the other false "socialist" countries refused Marxism-Leninism, liquidated proletarian dictatorship, restored capitalist exploitation and bourgeois class tyranny, eliminated socialization of economy and of means of production, surrendered themselves to world imperialism and social-imperialism and established social-fascist repression, comrade Enver's Albania always remained faithful to the teachings of the Classics during socialist construction, as a guiding light of communist dignity amidst the dark sea of revisionist and social-fascist degeneration. Small socialist Albania could have never been able to successfully defeat all types of internal and external enemies and to resist the powerful capitalist-revisionist encirclement if it was not a genuine proletarian dictatorship led by a truly communist party of Leninist-Stalinist type (the PLA). In the accomplishment of all this, comrade Enver played a most important role. After all, we can never forget that while comrade Enver was alive, no enemy could ever touch socialist Albania, no enemy could ever detach it from its Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist path. Capitalists-imperialists and their revisionist agents inside and outside Albania had to wait until comrade Enver's death in order to be able to penetrate and destroy the world's last proletarian dictatorship and socialist state.
World capitalists, imperialists and revisionists have always attempted to obliterate Enver Hoxha's revolutionary proletarian teachings and legacy. But just like they failed in the past, they will also surely fail in the future. Comrade Enver's name will always be synonym of Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist purity of principles, of communist audacity and firmness. Like he once affirmed:
"No force, no torture, no intrigue, no deception can eradicate Marxism-Leninism from the minds and hearts of men." (Enver Hoxha, Eurocommunism is Anti-communism, 1980, edition in English)
For all these reasons, comrade Enver's infallible and immortal teachings are an authentic guiding light for all those who follow the path towards world socialist revolution, world proletarian dictatorship, world socialism and world communism based on Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Hoxhaism. To uphold and defend comrade Enver's revolutionary and proletarian legacy is to also uphold and defend the revolutionary and proletarian legacy of all Classics of Marxism-Leninism as a whole.
Long live comrade Enver Hoxha – the glorious 5th Classic of Marxism-Leninism!
Long live the 5 Classics of Marxism-Leninism: Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Enver Hoxha!
Comrade Enver is immortal – his red revolutionary genius enlightens our path towards the victorious world socialist revolution!
He will live forever on hearts and minds of every oppressed and exploited worker and of every communist!
All capitalist-revisionist lies and calumnies will never erase comrade Enver's glorious legacy!
Death to world capitalist-imperialist order and to its revisionist, neo-revisionist and social-fascist lackeys!
Long live world violent proletarian and socialist revolution!
Long live world armed proletarian dictatorship!
Long live world socialism and world communism!
Long live the Comintern (SH) – the only authentic defender of comrade Enver's revolutionary and proletarian legacy!

11 апреля 1985 года ушел из жизни пламенный революционер, зодчий Новой Социалистической Албании, выдающийся продолжатель бессмертного дела Маркса-Энгельса-Ленина-Сталина Энвер Ходжа.
Прошедшие годы не заглушили боль и скорбь от этой утраты…
Смерть вырвала из рядов мирового коммунистического движения его признанного лидера, выдающегося теоретика и практика социалистического строительства, несгибаемого борца за чистоту идей и положений марксизма-ленинизма.
Силы контрреволюции использовали смерть Э. Ходжа для взятия реванша: для отказа от завоеваний социализма в Албании, для ослабления мирового марксистско-ленинского движения, для искажения и ревизии теории научного коммунизма.
Но, прогрессивный поступательный ход общественного развития неумолим.
Его не могут остановить ни смерть вождя, ни временные поражения революции, ни временное усиление и консолидация реакции во всех ее проявлениях.
Наступит день, когда осуществление коренных общественно-экономических преобразований встанет на повестку дня и будет реализовано мировой социалистической революцией, осуществленной под знаменем идей и учения марксизма-ленинизма, которые сотканы, обобщены, научно обоснованы и доказаны вождями мирового пролетариата: Марксом, Энгельсом, Лениным, Сталиным и Энвером Ходжа!!!

English translation
April 11, 1985, died ardent revolutionary, the architect of the new socialist Albania, an outstanding successor of the immortal work of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, Enver Hoxha.
The past years have not muted the pain and sorrow of this loss ...
Death snatched from the ranks of the world communist movement of its recognized leader, an outstanding theorist and practice of socialist construction, staunch fighter for the purity of ideas and principles of Marxism-Leninism.
Counter-revolutionary forces have used the death of Enver Hoxha to take revenge: to abandon the gains of socialism in Albania, to mitigate global Marxist-Leninist movement, for distortion and revision of the theory of scientific communism.
But the progressive course of social development is inexorable.
It can not stop through the death of the leader, or temporary defeat of the revolution, nor a temporary boost and consolidation of the reaction in all its manifestations.
The day will come when the implementation of indigenous socio-economic transformation will be on the agenda and the socialist world revolution will be carried out under the banner of the ideas and teachings of Marxism-Leninism, which are woven, generalized, scientifically substantiated and proven by the leaders of the world proletariat:
Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Enver Hoxha !!!

Komunistët dhe punonjësit e gjithë botës përkujtuan sivjet 50-vjetorin e triumfit të Revolucionit të Madh Socialist të Tetorit. Ata përkujtojnë këto ditë edhe dy ngjarje të tjera të shënuara: 10-vjetorin e Deklaratës së Moskës të vitit 1957 dhe 7-vjetorin e Deklaratës së Moskës të vitit 1960.
Për këto ngjarje të rëndësishme kanë bërë e po bëjnë një zhurmë të madhe dhe revizionistët modernë, me udhëheqjen sovjetike në krye. Tërë veprimet e tyre i karakterizon demagogjia. Ata u përpoqën e përpiqen ta paraqitin veten si trashëgimtarë e vazhdues të veprës së tetorit të madh dhe si partizanë të flaktë të unitetit të lëvizjes komuniste dhe të të gjitha forcave antiimperialiste në botë.
Por faktet provojnë se klika udhëheqëse sovjetike i ka tradhtuar përfundimisht idetë e marksizëm-leninizmit, mësimet dhe veprën e Revolucionit të Tetorit, parimet revolucionare të Deklaratës së Moskës, ka minuar unitetin e lëvizjes komuniste e të forcave antiimperialiste. Jubileun e Tetorit dhe përvjetorin e Deklaratave të Moskës revizionistët hrushovianë mundohen t'i shfrytëzojnë për qëllimet e veta kundërrevolucionare:
për të mbuluar tradhtinë e tyre, për të mashtruar popujt dhe për të përgatitur komplote të reja kundër marksizëm-leninizmit, kundër revolucionit e socializmit.
Për këtë flet qartë raporti i Brezhnjevit, i mbajtur më 3 nëntor në Moskë, i cili është një dokument fund e krye demagogjik, që, në fakt, kundërshton me tërbim marksizëm-leninizinin dhe Tetorin e kuq, Leninin e Stalinin dhe popullin sovjetik, diktaturën e proletariatit dhe revolucionin, që kundërshton min dhe popujt revolucionarë të botës. Megjithëse udhëheqësit e sotëm sovjetikë nuk duan ta heqin veten si pasardhës të Hrushovit famëkeq e të diskredituar, Brezhnjevi, në raportin e tij të gjatë, nuk bëri gjë tjetër, veçse veshi me një ambalazh të ri ma11Tn e skaduar revizionist të kongreseve të 20-të, të 22-të e të 23-të dhe të programit të PK të BS.
Renegati Brezhnjev shtrembëroi pa skrupull historinë e lavdishme të Revolucionit të Tetorit. Ai e kalei në heshtje faktin se fitorja e tij u arrit e u konsolidua me një luftë të ashpër e të pamëshirshme klasore të proletariatit rus e të Partisë Bolshevike, kundër regjimit të egër carist të çifligarëve e të kapitalistkve, kundër oportunizmit e kapitullimit mikroborgjez e menshevik, kundër bashkëpunimit klasor e aventurizmit eser e trockist, kundër bandave bjellogardiste dhe intervencionit të Antantës. Ai shtrembëroi të vërtetën dhe mësimin e madh historik se proletariati rus mori pushtetin politik dhe krijoi shtetin e sovjetëve me anën e dhunës revolucionare dhe, në kundërshtim me këtë, e vuri theksin te «format paqësore të luftës» dhe te «taktikat elastike» të kalimit në socializëm.
Duke u tallur me cinizëm me gjakun e mijëra e dhjetëra mijë revolucionarëve, që dhanë jetën në betejat klasore dhe në frontet e luftës civile, me sakrificat padëgjuara që u detyrua të përballojë populli rus, Hrushovët, Brezhnjevët dhe renegatët e tjerë, me qëIlim që të mos e trembin borgjezinë me «socializmin» tyre, janë përpjekur e përpiqen t'i japin një lustër oportuniste revolucionit socialist, ta zhveshin atë nga përmbajtja klasore thellësisht antikapitaliste, ta zbutin, ta paraqitin si një «evolucion paqësor», si një revolucion, që u krye «pothuajse pa gjak», si diçka të pranueshme për «humanizmin» borgjez.

The year has flown by and we are already into the second week of our summer intensive courses.
Today we look back at the year that has passed and speak to two of our students to find out about their experiences studying at Oxford House.
So, without further ado – we'd like to introduce you to Elisa and Anna.
Elisa – Wow, good question. I first started learning English when I was a kid. I used to do extracurricular classes and camps during the summer. However, I started at Oxford House a couple of months ago.
Anna – I've been studying English at Oxford House for four years. My daughter-in-law, Sandra, who you may recognise from Reception, recommended the school to me and I've been taking classes ever since.
Elisa – My main motivation is for the future. I would like to find a job in another country. I've just graduated university and would love to move to the UK and start a career in industrial design.
Anna – I like learning other languages and nowadays it's very important to know English. It's spoken all over the world and is needed for travelling and to speak to people from other countries.
Elisa – I just completed a B2.2 level intensive course with Ross. It was 100 hours in two months which was pretty intense. But I learned a lot so it was worth it.
Anna – I did a B1.1 extensive course for over 55s. It was three hours a week from October to June. I really like the pace of the class and how friendly the teacher was.
Anna – Jess.
Elisa – Ross was a very positive and motivational teacher, and was very involved with his students, which made learning easier. We also did individual presentations which I really enjoyed. We had to teach the rest of the class a skill. I did a life drawing class. There was also a drumming workshop, a session on animation and a presentation about traditional Brazilian games.
Anna – I love studying at Oxford House because the teachers that I've had are very nice. We even went out for dinner with Jess at the end of the course. It's great that the teachers take a real interest in their students.
Elisa – I recommend not trying to learn English too quickly. Even if you are in a hurry or have a lot of pressure to do an exam, it could be counterproductive. It's better to keep calm and improve step by step, talking a lot in class and using the language in many aspects of your daily life as well.
Anna – keep practising your English during the summer to maintain your level.
Elisa – I'm working in July, but in August I'll spend my holidays near the beach.
Anna – In July I'll stay in Barcelona and study English in the afternoons at Oxford House. In August I'll go on holiday.
Elisa – As I mentioned before, I would like to move to an English-speaking country to improve my English. I'd also like to take the IELTS so I have something to prove my level on my curriculum.
Anna – I'd love to travel to London or New York and be able to speak and understand everyone.
Elisa – I recommend going for lunch at Pez Vela Restaurant in Barceloneta, then for a walk through the Born neighborhood, and to finish the day a party at RazzMatazz.
Anna – In Barcelona there are many things to see. There is El Barri Gotic. The oldest part of Barcelona. Gaudi buildings – Sagrada Família, La Pedrera, Casa Batlló. His architecture is unique and famous all over the world. You could also climb (or take the tram) to the top Tibidabo mountain and see some of the best views of Barcelona. You can see the entire city all the way to the sea.
Elisa & Anna – Bye!

The many words and meanings for love in Arabic are reflective of Islam's comprehensiveness and depth
by G. WILLOW WILSON
"At the heart of all things is the germ of their overthrow," wrote Egyptian author Adhaf Soueif in her Booker-nominated novel, The Map of Love. She was indulging in a very beautifully written digression about Arabic grammar, comparing words derived from the same root: in this case, qalb, "heart"; and enqilab, "overthrow". At this level, where the interplay of meaning and construction is visible, Arabic becomes an extraordinary language, forcing into cooperation concepts and ideas that are entirely unrelated in English.
Despite the tremendous conceptual range and utility provided by the root-and-pattern system of the language, there is a common assumption among non-speakers that Arabic-and thus, Islam-lacks an equivalent of agap, a Greek term used by Christians to mean the boundary-less, self-sacrificing love between believers, or between a believer and God. More passionate than filia, less explicit than eros, agap is love stripped of expectation, in which the lover is humbled and disciplined before the beloved. Running a Google search for 'agap' and 'Islam' yields literally hundreds of Christian sites claiming there is no such term in Arabic, and painting Islam as a cold, dispassionate religion in its absence.
Over the years, Sufi Muslims have co-opted many of the romantic Arabic words for love and made them serve an ideal very much like agap: Rumi feels hayam for the absent Shams; al Ghazali explores 'aishq as the union between a worthy believer and a higher Beloved, Allah. The poetry of 10th and 11th-century Sufis helped inspire the troubadour culture and ideals of courtly love that flourished in the medieval kingdoms of southern France, Navarre and Aragonne; one of the positive artistic developments to arise from contact between Christian Europe and the Muslim Near East during the Crusades. But many of the greatest Sufi thinkers, including al Ghazali, were themselves influenced by Platonic, Neoplatonic and Gnostic Christian ideals of love, kept alive in the medieval Middle East by the translation of Greek, Roman and Byzantine texts into Arabic and Persian. The question remains: we know the Prophet Muhammad meant Muslims to love and serve God, but did he mean them to be in love with God-and to reflect this love and service among each other?
The answer is, simply, yes. Though it has classically been overlooked by Islam's detractors, there is a word for agap in Arabic. It carries the same non-specific 'boundary-less' connotation as the Greek word, and is used contextually in the same way. Better yet, it is entirely original; not borrowed, adapted, or modeled on a word from another language. The Arabic word for agap is mahubba, and it is fascinating for two reasons: one, because it comes from hub-in its feminine form. Two, because of the prefix ma. Adding the letter mim to the beginning

Islamica Magazine
of a word in Arabic means "one who is/does", "that which is/does", or "in a state of" the word that follows it. Junun is mad, and majnun is "one who is mad" or "in a state of madness"; baraka is a blessing, and mubarak is "one who is blessed" or "in a state of blessedness"; Islam is submission, and Muslim is "one who submits" or "in a state of submission". Thus, mahubba is quite literally 'in love', but it is rarely used in an erotic sense. It can describe either love among people or love for the divine, and is used most commonly in a spiritual context in both cases. Implicit in mahubba is service; the lover puts the beloved at the center of the discourse, and submits to his/her demands. Author Fethullah Gulen describes mahubba as "obedience, devotion and unconditional submission" to the beloved, quoting Sufi saint Rabi'a al-Adawiya's couplet, "If you were truthful in your love, you would obey Him/for a lover obeys whom he loves."
While it is, again, primarily Sufis who have propagated the ideal of mahubba over the centuries, the word and the concept have roots in mainstream Islamic tradition: verse 3:31 of the Qur'an is sometimes called 'ayat ul'mahubba', and reads "Say: if you do love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you." Even ibn Taymiyya, one of the founders of the Wahhabi movement, said of this verse, "There can be no clearer recognition of mahubba than this, and this recognition in itself increases love for Allah. And people have discussed (at length) about mahubba: its causes, its signs, its fruits, its supports and rulings." A hadith qudsi included in the Muwatta of Imam Malik is even more explicit: "God said, 'My love [mahubbati] necessarily belongs to those who love one another [mutahubinna] for My sake, sit together for My sake, visit one another for My sake, and give generously to one another for My sake'."
Mahubba differs from agap in one crucial respect: because serving and approaching the beloved is a form of ongoing personal struggle, mahubba is a form of jihad. A far cry from the violent and indiscriminate "small jihad" preached by militants, mahubba is a form of al-jihad al-kabir, the greater jihad, or jihad against one's own ego. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that in an age of lesser jihad mahubba has fallen out of practice and almost out of memory; it is so universally neglected that when Islam is accused of lacking a concept of divine brotherhood, few Muslims have the intellectual wherewithal to protest. But Adhaf Soueif is right: at the heart of all things is the germ of their overthrow. The struggle to serve God out of love, and one another out of love, is the jihad of human potential against the jihad of violent ideology; if resurrected, it has the power to change the world.
G. WILLOW WILSON is a Cairo-based author and essayist. Her articles about modern Islam and the Middle East have appeared in publications including the Atlantic Monthly, the New York Times Magazine, and the Canada National Post

When to buy which life insurance? (A three-part series) Part 2
Today more than ever it seems like the product offerings in life insurance are never ending. It's important for you to have a handle on the types of policies offered. Over the next few weeks we are going to briefly highlight the different types of life insurance and when each may be a good fit.
When to buy which life insurance?
Universal Life
We continue our education of life insurance policy types this week with a look at Universal Life Insurance. This is a type of permanent life insurance that takes any premiums you pay to the company above insurance costs and makes them available as cash value in the policy. Each one of these is unique and will have a cash surrender value tied to it for a number of years until fully vested. Besides just a straight Universal Life policy, you may also choose an Indexed Universal Life policy which is tied to the indexes. This policy allows you to allocate percentages of your premium to an index such as the S&P 500. Then, depending upon how the index performed, and how the company has the crediting set-up, you have the ability to gain larger amounts of interest than just the guaranteed rates. Each year, at your policy anniversary, this credit will be calculated and the interest will be credited to your account. The silver lining to this kind of policy is that you cannot go backwards if the market does not perform, you will have a guaranteed interest rate, and you may be able to fluctuate your payments if need be. Do keep in mind that these policies can and do lapse and can underperform if you decide to stop or reduce premiums and the cash value and credited interest are not covering all of the costs.
When to buy: Typically if you are on a tight budget Universal Life insurance (ULs) may not be the best option for you, but it's important to note the value these policies have. They never expire and have the ability to gain cash value to which you can have access. Another great time to buy ULs is if you are currently looking to convert your term policy into something permanent. Finally, although we do not see often, it can be a good fit to insure babies and children. Not only do they have their whole life for this policy to grow, you also have paid up options so they do not have to pay on their policy forever.

Hi Everyone!
Did you like the previous post on how I do my illustrations? Here is some more behind the scenes for you of the Josh Goot illustration.
This is an illustration that I did early on, just after I started using my tablet and Corel Painter 11. As you can see, I like to work with layers... This illustration has 34 different layers, but my newer illustrations can go up to 90 layers! I use layers to overlay different colours, shades and strokes on top of each other, until I get the look that I like. The layers also allow me to preserve the history of my work - if I mess up on something and ruin my illustration, I can simply make that layer invisible and start over :).

The kitchen is considered the heart of the home, and the appliances you choose to put in it can make or break you in terms of aesthetic pleasure, general flow, and productive functionality. At the center of every great kitchen stands a great fridge, and it is necessary to take the time to decide what you want and how much you are prepared to spend before searching for new kitchen appliances. Refrigerators are no exception, and this article will tell you what to look for so you can make the best decision on when you decide what fridge to spend your money on.
First of all, forget that I just said the word "spend"— an appliance is an investment, and one that can either save or cost you a lot of money for years after it is purchased. This is the reason that quality should come first in your search. No matter what price range or style you're looking for, the truth is that some brands and models will last longer and simply outperform others in a similar range. To ensure you get the best fridge for your money, you must compare different brands and see what experiences other customers have had in the past. Reading online product reviews is a great way to do this, but be careful as many have been bought and may be less than honest. For the best way to determine quality, look for a strong warranty from a company that stands behind its products. This way, you'll get a product the company believes in and will fix or replace should anything happen to it.
After you've determined where each model in your price range sits in terms of quality, you should then consider the appearance and features you want to further narrow your search list. Make sure the fridge has a design you find attractive and that it fits in with your other appliances and interior design of your kitchen. While this may seem trivial, the appearance will greatly affect how much you enjoy your new appliance in the long run because you'll see it every day. You can then look at features. Some will have the fridge to the side, some on top, and some on the bottom; this part is all about personal preference. You may also want to consider options with water filters for drinking or extra compartments for storage. The overall size of the unit will also come into play, depending on how much food you wish to fit and where you want to place the unit.
Finding the right refrigerator can be a daunting task, but if you put quality and longevity first, you'll never be disappointed! Style and features are important as well, but only after you've determined which models are built to last in your price range. Look for a strong and long lasting warranty, and enjoy your new fridge for years to come!

Nanotechnology and nanodevice simulation
Since 2005 the research group has been increasingly involved in the emerging field of nanotechnology, both (as already outlined) from the standpoint of nanoscale device simulation on the basis of fundamental techniques, and in the analysis and design of carbon nanotube structures for IC interconnects and high-performance power device dissipators.
Within the framework of a cooperation with the Department of Physics of Politecnico (prof. Tagliaferro) under the hat of the CNT4SIC project funded by Regione Piemonte, the analysis is being carried out of the nanotube thermal properties, with particular attention to the interface problem to other materials (e.g. SiC), and to the simulation of the dissipator performances in realistic environments.
More recently, an activity has been started aimed at developing both physical and circuit models for the analysis and design of third generation solar cells, with emphasis on Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC). This activity is performed in cooperation with the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT).

Under construction
Five workshops operating in a three slot carousel
Saturday 1.30-3.30pm WORKSHOP 1 for teachers and students Anthony Cunningham: BENEATH THE SURFACE Avital Manor-Peleg: MASKS IN MOTION Emmy Abrahamson: FAIRY TALE/STORYTELLING Stephan Jurgens: TRISHA'S MAGIC CUBE Tim Hylton/Nuno Silva: RHYTHMS OF THE EARTH 3.30-4.00pm Break 4.00-6.00pm WORKSHOP 2 for teachers and students Anthony Cunningham: BENEATH THE SURFACE Ruth Spencer: COLOURING THE SPACE Tim Hylton/Nuno Silva: RHYTHMS OF THE EARTH Jackie Correia: BEYOND THE VOICE Stephan Jurgens: THERE ARE CYBORGS AMONG US Sunday 11.00-1.00pm WORKSHOP 3 for teachers and students Ruth Spencer: RITUALS OF THE EVERYDAY Avital Manor-Peleg: MASKS IN MOTION Emmy Abrahamson: FAIRY TALE/STORYTELLING Jackie Correia: BEYOND THE VOICE Stephan Jurgens: TRISHA'S MAGIC CUBE WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS BENEATH THE SURFACE (SUBTEXT) Students begin by exploring the role of The Chorus in Greek Theatre and then adapt the concept to the contemporary actors use of subtext to develop complex, believable characters. Through improvisations and script analysis, we examine the multitude of possibilities any actor has depending on what lies beneath the surface MASKS IN MOTION The techniques and body language thatbreathe life into masks that prevent an actor usinghis or her voice. Ths workshop compares and contrasts A: Neutral masks; B: Basle mask. FAIRY TALE/STORY TELLING WORKSHOP How to create a story with no specific costumes or set, relying primarily on physical theatre. Using all aspects of the body in communicating a story. Students would be encouraged in using imagination in improvisations relating to the chosen story. TRISHA'S MAGIC CUBE: We are going to explore American choreographer Trisha Brown's witty games with the magic' cube to find new and surprising ways to move around. These famous choreographic tools can be used by students of any level as a way of focussing improvisation or learning about compositional elements. Simone Forti once said: The mind is a muscle! RHYTHMS OF THE EARTH Enjoy a hands-on exploration of earthy African rhythms. This workshop, suitable for both the experienced player and the beginner, focuses on improvisation, the learning of instrument techniques and traditional rhythmic patterns to provide tools for devising your own work. COLORING THE SPACE Starting with simple movements this workshop explores the effect that altering the dynamics has on movement and meaning. How can movement colour the space, create an atmosphere? How in turn can this affect and contribute to the action on stage? RITUALS OF THE EVERYDAY This workshop explores the details of our own personal rituals and brings them to the front of our attention. They can be captured, examined, explored, distorted, abstracted and transformed. Allowing others to join you in your ritual or it remaining a solo pursuit - making the insignificant significant. BEYOND THE VOICE Using the voice for expression, creating atmosphere/mood, presentation of text. During this workshop, the voice will be explored within and beyond the media of speech and song, focussing on the presentation of a specific myth. A look at the historical use of the voice in both ritual and mythical presentations will be the starting point of exercises and improvisations to be developed by the students. Physical, relaxation and breathing exercises will precede a vocal warm up which will gradually encourage students to explore unusual vocal sounds, whilst working on technical aspects of voice production. Students will then be guided towards a group presentation of a chosen mythical text, using such media as choral speaking, vocal sound effects, song, chants etc. THERE ARE CYBORGS AMONGST US.... Everybody knows that the cyborg is a myth, or have you ever actually seen one? Still the hybrid being have fascinated us from our most ancient cultures on until today. This workshop introduces to the work of British choreographer Wayne McGregor, who has found interesting ways to look at gods, animals, machines, humans, and other fantastic beings inside of us. With the help of the latest digital technology we will detect the cyborg within...

How Community Institutions Create Economic Advantage: Jewish Diamond Merchants in New York
Law and Social Inquiry, Vol. 31, No. 2, Spring 2006
Duke Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 65
39 Pages Posted: 17 Jun 2005 Last revised: 3 Aug 2012
Date Written: Spring 2006
This article argues that Jewish merchants have historically dominated the diamond industry because of their ability to reliably implement diamond credit sales. Success in the industry requires enforcing executory agreements that are beyond the reach of public courts, and Jewish diamond merchants enforce such contracts with a reputation mechanism supported by a distinctive set of industry, family, and community institutions. An industry arbitration system publicizes promises that are not kept. Intergenerational legacies induce merchants to deal honestly through their very last transaction, so that their children may inherit valuable livelihoods. And ultra-Orthodox Jews, for whom participation in their communities is paramount, provide important value-added services to the industry without posing the threat of theft and flight.

It's Me/
by Rachel
It's me.
No doubt about it, moms are the thermostat of the house, we set the temperature, the mood. When I am sick, tired, or crabby, my family feels it, and everyone suffers for it. My friend Glenda says it's our job to set the temperature on the thermostat instead of being the thermometer that just reads what the temperature is. One is a conscious choice and takes effort, the other is a response to what is already happening. One is proactive, one is reactive.
When my kids behaviors are acting up, systems are being disregarded, and attitude is flying, I can 100% say that the result of those circumstances is based entirely on how I handle it. Whether I respond well, or poorly.
It's me.
My kids can be wrecks, they bring in the chaos, no doubt, but I am the thermostat. I am the one they are begging inwardly for stability. I am the one they are already convinced will, "not be able to handle them either," I am the one they are trying to push away. Their RAD targets me. Every time.
One of my kids confessed once that when things are out of his control, he does the one thing he can control, and he makes me angry. For a long time it worked. I reacted in anger, and as a result, he "won." Though I know for certainty when our RAD kids "win", they're losing, we're losing, and the relationship is losing. When they fight for control in an unhealthy way, and "win" it, there is loss. The stable ground we have worked hard to build under them, shakes every so slightly, or maybe even trembles rapidly. Either way, there is a threat in their hearts and minds to undo all that we have so diligently poured in.
It's me.
When my perspective shifted, after learning this truth about my son, everything changed. I stopped letting him "win". Just like I don't let my kids manipulate me, or lie and get away with it, just like I don't let them disrespect without correction, or treat another rudely, I refuse to let him "win" in this area. It simply leads to more loss in his life, and our relationship.
A long time ago I decided I would not lie to my kids. It is cut and dry in my mind: they don't trust parents, so if I give them even ONE legitimate reason to not trust me, I can damage all that I have built up with them. That is a similar logic that I have latched onto with my kids trying to heat up the thermometer. If I refuse to let them "win", if I kick in like a thermostat, set the temp, maintain it, work overtime for it, and beg God for the strength, there is true winning for my kids. Keeping the situation calm and cool, at least from my end, is true winning. It is loving them well.
This has been a game changer for me. In the past I could always point to their behaviors, seeing the hundred ways they made things go poorly, because let's be honest, without their chaos, we would probably be outstanding moms all the time! However, in the end, when I went to God and asked him to search my heart, and see any offensive way in me (Psalm 139:23-24), this is what He showed me. When things escalate and get way out of hand, it's me. I commit the final offense, the final blow that sends them running, that doesn't cool things down.
I cannot change their behaviors, I cannot control them, but I am in charge of me, and THAT is what I can work on. Daily I am praying, "more of you Lord, less of me." In my flesh, in my reactions, I can do a lot of damage to an already broken situation. I don't want to play the damaging role in my kids' lives! I want to be involved in the healing and redemption; the beauty on the other side! So it is imperative that I keep myself under control, and it is only through the power of Christ I can do that. By His sweet graces, he is teaching me how! One day at a time.
Rachel is a 32 year old mom with 6 kids married to the best man she knows, Joey. Her kids are 2,4,7,16,20, and 21. God keeps bringing them teens and asking them to adopt them. Like crazy people, they keep saying yes. What could seem like the worst possible age to adopt in the world, has become God's beautiful redemption story playing out right before their very eyes. And it is good.

These pictorial books are a nostalgic
look back at 'Old Lynn'. A rural market
town, with an accent that was firmly
'Norfolk' and a time when the odd
'Lincolnshire' or 'Wisbech' accent from
across the border was about as exotic as
it got.
King's Lynn
in Colour
(combined volumes 2 and 3)
This is a follow up book to volume one and runs to 92 pages containing 250 colour pictures of
the streets of Lynn from mainly
1965 to 1985
(published 2015)
No more books are currently planned
Tricky Sam Publishing -
Bob Booth's King's Lynn Books
Hello and welcome
to the online home of a collection of books that take a look back at King's Lynn as it was.

Homa Sun Shaded Pantaloon
Homa Sun Shaded Pantaloon
Comfortable dropped crotch pantaloon, made from med. wight cotton knit fabric. Drawstring waist, two front dropped pockets. I have layered it with Chandrama hand-woven linen top and Hand-woven linen taki jacket. The shaded pattern is created by sun, purposefully — left it the way I wanted to create the pattern under sun for several days. Therefore, I call it natural sun-shaded or can be called sun bleached assemble! If not liked, it can be worn insde-out — which has not been sun-bleached or sun-shaded. — remove the tags and I think nothing is wrong if by-passers will remind you that you are wearing your outfit inside-out! start of conversation!
Size: the pantaloon is one size and encourage you to refer to our chart size-please note that we hand-cut our garments and we do not follow the standard mass-produced factory sizing. If not sure, call us at 202.347.4543 or email us at email@example.com

Monday mumblings - 22.07.2013
Correct me if I am wrong, but I reckon the sea temperature around here in south east Cornwall has jumped over 5 degrees in less than a month. I am pretty sure it was down around the 12C mark just before I did my first Irish trip of the year in June, but now the temperature is getting closer to 18C (see here). I will be very interested to see what might happen around here as and when the conditions start to bounce again, although I will be loathe to lose this stunning weather we have been having. We picked the girls up from school and went straight to the beach on Friday afternoon and even I went for a swim which I categorically don't tend to do in this country. It's awesome living so close to the sea.
The lads who kindly did this Guest Blog post for me here are once again up in Scotland chasing those monster skate from the shore, and I can't wait to hear how they get on. Damian is going to do another post for me when they return, so keep your eyes peeled for what I hope is going to be another perfectly mad tail of monster fish from "our" shores. I have got to see this fishing one of these days.
If you are into your cricket, I am sure it cannot have passed you by that we are already 2-0 up in a five match Ashes series that has the potential to become a whitewash does it not ? I am not counting chickens and I'll take a 3-whatever win however we can get it, but there is something wonderfully satisfying about being a supporter of the team that is handing out the drubbings to the Aussies rather than the other way round - which let's be honest it was for many a year with that awesome team they had. Roll on the third Test, and on the subject of Test cricket, 20/20 and One Day stuff doesn't even come close.
I was so hoping that Lee Westwood was going to finally win the Major that he is so overdue. What an awesome golfer, but the best sportsmen and women I suppose know how to get the job done in the cauldron of pressure that is a final/final round/big game etc., and for all Westwood's skill and ability, I am gutted for him that he still hasn't won a Major. All credit to Phil Mickelson though for shooting what they are calling one of the best final rounds of golf in an Open championship, and holy cow did Muirfield look one frighteningly tough course.
I can't pretend that I am into cycling, but to read that another Brit has won the ridiculously tough Tour de France for the second year in a row has to be some feat of skill and endurance. I dread to think how much pain Chris Froome goes through to do something like that. My memories of cycling are based mainly around getting to and from the pub when I was younger.
Monday morning metal madness - metal doesn't come much better than the Norwegian maestros Enslaved, and I will always love the fact that we would never have heard of let alone gone and filmed a TV programme on the remote island of Rost if it had not been for their frigging awesome drummer and serious fishing junkie Cato Bekkevold. This is one of my favourite Enslaved songs ever, off their 2010 album Axioma Ethica Odini. What a band. Check out 6:22 and beyond on this song and tell me this doesn't give you goose bumps.............

Christmas Scatterings
The holidays leave me feeling a bit scattered. I focus best with a camera, or a campfire. Next year, I may escape to a cabin in the woods. Or a tropical beach. But somewhere I do not wait for others, or rush for others, or serve others. Maybe that is too self-serving? Yet it just may be what I need to relax these tight shoulders. I've discussed this with Mike and I think he likes the idea of a tropical beach.

Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. (vs 3-4)
vs 7. Men cannot cheat on wisdom. They either have it or they don't. It "is too lofty for a fool" and when have a shortage of it, their mouths will betray them.
vs 10. "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small." Strength is to be employed when things are difficult. We grow in strength during the good times so that we can withstand the bad times.
vs 12. God will "render to each man according to his deeds"
vs 16. "A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again." Resilience is righteous. Perseverance and persistence are the characteristics of the righteous. They do not easily quit. Their faith and devotion is not easily overthrown.
The parable and visual of the lazy man (vs 30-34):
I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; and there it was, all overgrown with thorns; its surface was covered with nettles; its stone wall was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest; so shall your poverty come like a prowler, and your need like an armed man.

Whether we like it or not, conscious of it or not, we are on a journey of life. Each one of us is going somewhere. Life is much more than being born to live and die. As each day comes and goes, the reflective person realizes that there is a purpose to life. And like most things in life, if we do not know where we are going, we will never know which road to take. A child who does not know what he wants to be, will not know what to do, for a goal determines the way or means. For some, their goal is to follow a career path in order to realize their potential and make a living. It is a noble goal. For others, their goal is to get married, have children and grandchildren. Again, this is noble for it accomplishes God's will. Yet, for others, it is to get the greatest pleasures out of life, however good or bizarre they might be. Still for some others, the goal is life without a clear goal, and so, they end up in drugs, binge drinking, smoking and sex, without any sense of responsibility. Being so goalless, they leave such a mess behind them, which parents, grandparents, and society spend so much time, energy and resources cleaning up.
There is a variety of goals as there is a variety of human beings. Our goals, conscious or not, are evident in the choices we make. But at each point in our lives, we ask a significant question, whether we verbalize it consciously or feel it within ourselves: what next? Is this all? That is, is life simply to get married and have children, have a great career, make a good living, have pleasurable experiences? After all we have made, done, achieved, experienced, we still ask: what next? Even the drug user, binge drinker, celebrity, etc. are surprised by this question, which often they tend to suppress with more drugs, more noise, more search for fame and in some cases, with more crimes!
This question: "what next?" haunts every human being and as much as we may try to suppress it with so many distractions, it somehow sneaks back into consciousness, and demands a response. Whatever response we give will surely have to be so broad and meaningful to embrace and subsume all the mini-goals we have been pursuing since our birth. If not, we remain unsettled, threatened by a meaningless existence, which often leads to anger and disdain; this feeling in turn pushes on further to seek avenues to avoid or suppress this psychic pain.
However, we may feel about God in this modern world, we cannot live without a God-vision of life. Jesus Christ makes the claim that He is going to the Father to prepare a place for us, so that where He is, there, also we can be (Jn. 14:1-3). He claims He is the way, the truth and the life (Jn. 14:6). We may choose to live any other way, but as long as we face that question: "what next?" we cannot remain indifferent to Jesus Christ without serious consequences.
There is a sect called the Church of Satan – a "religious" group that claims no regard for God, but for everything that is "natural" to the human being. According to the Satanists: "We Satanists are thus our own 'gods,' and as beneficent "deities", we can offer love to those who deserve it and deliver our wrath (within reasonable limits) upon those who seek to cause us—or that which we cherish—harm". This group is actually seeking to make sense of human life and the many ambiguities that are found in it, and frustrated, they settle with anything that is against God and turn themselves into their own gods. Though some people in our country may not literally belong to the Satanic sect, they live out the principles of Satanists: they cheat, steal, manipulate, harm, and deceive in order to achieve their desired end. In doing so, they absolutely have no regard for God or for any moral principle. Their god, just like the Satanists, is their desire and it does not matter how they come about it; they have become their own gods even though they may profess to be Christians.
The way of Jesus on the other hand, leads all of us to the One God who is the Father of us all. In and through Jesus we are brothers and sisters, and communion with God and each other is the goal, and Jesus, is the way to this goal. But it is the way of truth, of respect for the values of the Gospel; it is the way that envisions life beyond the grave! It is on this vision that the meaning and relevance of all our goals and desires rest! So, where are you going? May the Lord grant you the grace to respond honestly to this question. Amen
