An Iron Age burial site dotted with cairn circles, standing stones and cist-slabs, near Vellaripatti village near Madurai on the Madurai-Tiruchi highway (India), is being destroyed. Archaeologists date the megalithic site between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE. Real estate developers have uprooted and swept up hundreds of cairn circles (big stones arranged in the form of circles), standing stones and cist-slabs (rectangular granite slabs laid on the ground), all of which mark burial spots. Bulldozers have swept clean a big area that had earlier been crowded with cairn circles, standing stones and cist-slabs. Border stones have been planted in the cleaned-up area to indicate house sites. A fencing post has been erected close to a beautifully laid cairn circle, and it is only a matter of time before this cairn circle disappears.

Hello again Bloggers.
Two blogs today (I think I am quickly becoming addicted to this blogging thing) but this time I have something different for you- a recipe!
With all the delicious homegrown summer produce in abundance at the moment you may, perhaps, have wondered what you could do with the humble courgette (zucchini). Yesterday my office mate presented me with a huge one from her garden- and I mean HUGE! Take a look for yourself-
So, I thought to myself, what will I make? Will I chop it up and boil it? No- yuk! Will I chop it, coat it in batter and fry it? No- too unhealthy! Will I add it to some tomatoes and onions to make a healthy ratatouille? That was a good option, but no, that's not what I did. (This is starting to sound a little like the tale of Goldilocks and the three bears now so I will just get to the point).
I made it into a delicious bake. This is a tried and tested recipe that I have made many times and it really is delicious and so simple and quick to make! So next time you have some spare courgettes why not give it a go? Here's the recipe:-
600 grams of courgette
4 eggs
1/2 cup of grated cheese
1/2 cup plain flour (sifted)
1 chopped onion
1 chopped garlic clove
salt and pepper to season
Step 1
Firstly- wash, chop and grate the courgettes. This really easy and actually quite fun. When you have finished grating, squeeze out the excess water using thick paper towel or a clean cloth and pop it into a bowl.
See easy peasy!
Next, in a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs
Then- just add the other ingredients
It is satisfyingly gooey to mix!
Right- almost there now- no prizes for guessing what to do next. Yes, that's right, mix the gooey, eggy, cheesy mix with the courgettes and season with salt and pepper.
If you like you can also add some extras: mushrooms, bacon, olives, tomatoes, pinenuts. In fact you can add what ever you please. I have added some baby chopped tomatoes to this one.
Finally, pour the whole mixture into a well-greased baking dish and cook in a moderate oven for 30-40 minutes. It smells absolutely scrumptious as it's cooking- a delicious combination of cheesy, garlicy bliss and there is no way that you will be able to stop yourself from creeping up to the oven at regular intervals just to have a check!
Take it out when it is cooked to your liking- I like mine quite firm and brown on top, but others may prefer a more golden hue. You can eat this hot or cold and it goes really well with salad and a glass of cold, crisp white wine. Enjoy!!
PS My courgette bake is still in the oven, smelling divine, but not quite ready to take out and photograph. I will add a photo when it is done- promise!
Here it is- YUM!

Go Green Mailbag: CFLs and Mercury
By Kevin Pink, Customer Service and Marketing Assistant
From time to time, we receive several inquiries about the same topic. We'll try to address those topics in a brief, practical way in this ongoing series we call the Go Green Mailbag. This week, we discuss Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs).
Q: I have heard that Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) contain mercury, which is hazardous. What do I do if a CFL bulb breaks? What do I do when a CFL bulb burns out?
Why do CFL bulbs contain mercury?
Like all fluorescent lights, CFLs use a small amount of mercury vapor contained in the glass bulb along with gases called phosphors. Electricity running into the bulb causes the mercury to emit invisible ultraviolet (UV) light, which excites the phosphor gases, causing them to emit visible light.
What do I do if a CFL bulb breaks?
Typical household bulbs contain less than 5 milligrams of mercury, which is about the size of a ballpoint pen's tip. The good news is that as long as you take precautions while cleaning up, a broken CFL bulb should pose very little health hazard. The Environmental Protection Agency has a set of best practice guidelines for cleaning up a broken CFL bulb. You should never use vacuum or broom to clean up mercury, as they are very likely to spread it.
- Make sure to air out the room by opening windows and turning off any central air/central heating systems for five to ten minutes. Leave the room and take other people and pets with you.
- After the room has had some time to air, use a piece of stiff paper or cardboard to help you put the largest pieces of glass into a glass jar, such as a canning jar, or a plastic bag that can be sealed. If you use a plastic bag, seal it inside a second bag to prevent any accidental leaks.
- Use a very sticky tape, such as duct tape, to pick up smaller pieces of glass and any visible powder from inside the bulb, placing any used tape in the jar/bag as well.
- Wipe the surface down with a wet paper towel and dispose of that in the jar/bag. Remove the jar or bag containing bulb fragments and any used cleaning supplies to a trash can or other sealed container outside your home.
- Contact a local mercury disposal site to see if they will take your jar/bag. Use the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's interactive map to find a site near you. If you are unable to find a site, try your local government office.
- Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water. If practical, leave the room to air out for several hours.
What do I do when a CFL bulb burns out?
Carefully unscrew your bulb and place it in a bulb box or another secure container that will not allow it to break. Locate a nearby mercury disposal facility using the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's interactive map and drop off your bulb for disposal. Never dispose of a CFL bulb in your regular trash.
If a CFL bulb burns out, is it worth investing in an LED bulb to replace it?
Yes! LED bulbs use approximately 75% less energy than an incandescent bulb, and last as much as 25 times longer. If you are looking for a great deal on LED bulbs, EcoBuilding Bargains sells LEDs of various shapes and sizes for a fraction of the usual retail cost. If you are not sure what type of LED bulb would work best in your space, ENERGY STAR has compiled this useful chart.
For more information on CFL disposal and safety, contact CET's customer service line at 413-445-4556.
We hope you found this post helpful and informative. Stay tuned for future installments of the Go Green Mailbag!

Knitted Sleeping Puppy
If you're looking for a bit of chilled-out crafting with your next knitting project, then why not try our Knitted Sleeping Puppy pattern?
We love all of our knitted designs but we don't mind admitting that Sleeping Puppy has to be one of our absolute favourites - aside from the peaceful feeling he inspires just by looking at him, he even has the ability to make grown adults stop and say "awwwww".
Sleeping Puppy looks particularly adorable when placed on a cushion and is equally at home when left to snooze in either a bedroom or sitting room.
If you'd like to make your very own Knitted Sleeping Puppy, you'll find that it's unlikely to be an expensive business - aside from oddments of yarn, sewing thread and ribbon for his (or her!) finishing detail, you'll only need approximately 50g of light brown acrylic Double Knit yarn to knit your pup.

Global Input
A universal mobile input app solution
Our Global Input Platform provides a single app solution for multiple devices and business applications so that they do not need to have separate mobile apps to allow users to operate on them
In a business environment, where users need to accomplish tasks with multiple devices, our Global Input Platform provides an integrated solution for connecting different applications to each other across different devices.
In today's business world, working on a fixed workstation to carry out a business task is no longer reflecting the reality of the modern business environment. Employees are using their preferred business/personal devices to accomplish tasks and often use most appropriate devices for a particular task. For example, a user may like to use his/her own personal mobiles to store confidential or private information and would like to push only the selected data securely to the application that he/she is using. Our Global Input solution allows users to store content in their devices encrypted with the encryption keys that also managed in the app, and provides data transfer function using end-to-end encryption.
Global Input Identification
With our Global Input identification solution, employees will be able to quickly gain access to the company facilities via their mobile devices
The communication is secured with the end-to-end encryption and the authentication data is stored encrypted in the mobile devices' storage. The data stays encrypted even in the app's memories and decrypted only when needed.
The employees can also use the same app to identify themselves to the business applications that are used daily to accomplish business tasks.
They can also use the same app to control and operate on the various application running on devices at work and at home.
Global Input IoT solution
Our Global Input Platform also provides a mobile app extension to the existing IoT application, so that they can be controlled via the Global Input App without developing a separate mobile app for them.

If "Woah Tiger" walks a similar path to My Morning Jacket's Evil Urges, the album itself is so versatile, yet concise, that the band's influences are hard to pinpoint. While an extensive guitar solo wouldn't be out of place on a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club record, the organized chaos of a song like "Winter Fell" could be the bastard child of Syd Barrett's post-Pink Floyd albums and Kings of Leon's Because Of The Times. Yet, ultimately, Walking Shapes craft catchy pop songs, reminiscent of the Flaming Lips, such as "Feel Good." Recorded at the No Shame recording studio in Soho, NY, Walking Shapes enlisted producer Gus Oberg (The Strokes, Willie Nelson, and Ryan Adams) to round out the epic Taka Come On.

The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and one in 28 children has a parent in prison, totaling 5 million children.
"We commit to work with kids for ten years," Zach said. In addition to a week-long summer camp, Project Avary sponsors weekend outings –– hiking, camping, kayaking –– with activities that teach life skills, build character and, most important, "give kids a sense of belonging."
Zach said Project Avary annually accepts 25 new kids, who are referred to the program by counselors, and currently serves 125 children and 90 caregivers. Its $850,000 budget is supported by donations, grants and fundraisers. The per-child cost is $2,500 a year.
We were joined this week by four international Rotarian guests: Sven Inabnit of Basel, Switzerland, Shaun Lennard of Hobart, Tasmania, and Andrea Siniscalco and wife, Svetlana Nikolic of Milan, Italy.

Now here's a lovely thing. If you know of one piece of romantic poetry, it's probably number 52 from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese. You don't? Really? Are you sure? Well, it goes like this:
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
And if you didn't, well, you probably know the reference from either Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, or perhaps from Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.
Anyhow, there's a very beautiful 1904 volume available at the Internet Archive. You can have it as a PDF of full colour scans, black and white, text, or in DjVu, Kindle or Daisy format.

Indeed, as others have mentioned, you can actually end up losing more money while editing than you gained for the initial post, even though you added to it.
I also have to say I concur that money is a good system, if anything, I think we should be trying to find more ways to use it rather than getting rid of it. As far as archiving the board itself, I don't think we are the same position the board was before. I don't think people aren't posting because they are afraid they will double post but because of issues with time and changes in our base core. The main users are growing up (not necessarily a bad thing), and new users don't necessarily identify as well with us as they could (not to say we haven't had a good influx of fresh blood, Samantha, Woody, and others have been valuable contributors, and there are many more I can name, but am sticking with the Admin teams at the moment ) I can't pretend I have all the answers, but, I have to believe it lies along the lines of keeping what we have and injecting and interlacing both old and new.
An upgrade to the boards certainly could make sense, quite a big project there. What features are you planning on taking advantage of?
ETA: Speaking of the mobile version, any chance that could be made profile based? I would be quite happy to have the mobile version never load again *hides*

The big experiment
Nimish Bhatiaa��s new restaurant Nimisserie introduces a�?aspect cuisinea�� to the city
ChefNimish Bhatiaa��s new restaurant Nimisserie falls under the category of a�?aspect cuisinea��. Since that term is completely unknown to me, not that he didna��t try explaining, leta��s just make it simple and call it a�?modern Indiana�� food. According to Bhatia, the food here is an amalgamation of imaginations, and ingredients. And the menu is proof of that.
Food for thought
The meal begins with an amuse bouche a�� guava and pomegranate juice bubbles, with a hint of masala
such as jeera, served atop a papdi a�� to resemble a papdi chaat. Ita��s quite a tasty way to begin the meal. Next came the reconstructed chilled samosa made with slivers of melon that wraps around the usual samosa filling (only cold), some greens, and served with chutney on the side in case you want it.
The smoked chicken breast and arugula salad is a pretty appetiser. Thin slices of smoked chicken breast, greens, marigold flowers, dehydrated pineapple, and charmagaz (almonds, pumpkin, cantaloupe and watermelon seeds) come in a lovely cocktail bowl, and you add the vinaigrette dressing thata��s served separately.
The Nakhlawi galauti a�� Bhatiaa��s version of the galauti kebab served in a cream horn shell a�� is a neat looking dish. But it was main course that made me happy. The a�?fishy affaira��, has red snapper grilled with kasundi (mustard sauce), tuna with gooseberry chutney on top, and seer with curry leaf pesto. Each of the fish brings a distinct flavour to the plate, and that is what I enjoyed the most. It was served with duck, and apricot and chilli baby naans, but I am not too sure if the fish and the naan pairs well.
The last touch
For dessert, the misthi doi crA?me brA�lA�e served in a butter cookie tart shell is probably the most elaborate dish a�� visually that is a�� because not only do you get to eat the dessert, you also get to stare at a hand-pulled mini rickshaw that comes with it. However, I would have liked it if the sweet yoghurt had set better.
If the a la carte menu confuses you, put yourself in the hands of the chef, and pick one of their tasting menus. Sometimes, ita��s less tiring to go with the flow.
Nimisserie has about 157 covers. Ita��s a massive restaurant, spread across two floors, and dressed to the hilt a�� handmade marble plates on the tables, red beaded drapes to segregate the private dining sections, bright white chairs, and even brighter lights a�� you could very well be in the dining room of a royal household. The restaurant is only about a week old, and it has a distance to go before it can make its own space in the city, but till then, happy instagramming. Take it from us, you will be tempted!
Rs2500 onwards (a la carte, for two). At 120, Brigade Road.

Lately it has become common to receive interesting feedback from many
a young Muslim women, educated in the west, that are sold on the
Islamic 'mandate' of Hijab. It can be a valid argument that a woman
ought to have the freedom to wear the headgear Hijab or any other
variation of Islamic veil, but their clich d argument that it is
'better' than women's alleged 'objectification' in the West shows no
less ignorance of western feminism and cultures than, for comparison,
the present US government's being heck-bent on pushing its unique
version of democracy as the standard for the rest of the world to
emulate, without considering any modifications to acknowledge their
present cultural and educational differences.
Over the internet I have met some of these neo-con(servative) Muslima
women who, in their 'belief' that Islamic laws regarding women are the
highest form of respect not only ever accorded to women but can ever
be in the future, have routinely made ill-informed and vanilla,
faith-based comments against Western feminism and secularism. It is
interesting they often forget that, had the West been a variation of
Islamic cultures where theocracy is enforced by the state, their
privilege to higher education, freedom of movement, and ability to get
the jobs they get trained to do might have been very different–and
for the negative. But that is when we consider reality rationally!
It has been rather sad to read hotly-argued emails from these
respectful ladies that explain the benefits women are entitled to in
Islam as far superior to what women are accorded in Western societies.
To the question why there is no single Islamic theocratic country
where such superiority is observable, their quick comment has been
that none of those countries conform to "true" Islam. That I find to
be quite irrational, more so coming from these secularly educated
In regards to the French ban on Hijab, France may have had motivations
beyond what it has admitted officially to implement the ban. However,
when Muslim men and women argue about women's rights to wear it and
also that it is 'mandated' in Islam, they seem to ignore the reality
that only a small percentage of global Muslim women wear variations of
it. Is it because the majority Muslims once again got the 'mandate'
wrong? Yes, according to these ladies. But why should their
privileged-social-status take of Islam be regarded as the ONLY correct
one when other takes seem equally possible, they seldom offer answers
beyond "It is so because I believe it to be so." Where have I heard
that before in discussion pertaining to faith?
I bumped into the article below while researching a topic on women's
oppression. Although composed in 1995 and specific about women in
Iran after 15 years of Islamic fundamentalism's ascension to power, it
seems to have much convergence today to the reality of women's issues
within Islam and its fundamentalist uprising around the world, which
puts a new spin on the old message using these Muslimas as
footsoldiers against its anti-secular position.
How does a likely identity crisis of these culturally cross-bred
younger Muslima conservatives play into the hands of Islamic male
fundamentalists, who are indeed NOT the vanguards of global Islamic
experience? The essay documents some interesting
socio-political-historical angles.
Much of it seems not only relevant today in our understanding of the
French ban and global Muslim reaction to it, but also useful to
explain possible and similar identity crisis among some
western-educated young ladies from Bangladesh, those who have become
staunch defenders of rising Islamic fundamentalism while deploring
Western secular societies, their participation in the latter's
economies while rejecting Islamic economies notwithstanding.
I do not intend to offend anyone's sentiments. For I am confident the
educated readership of this eforum has the capability to evaluate
global issues at the level of humanity, open to debate and discussion
beyond the confines of faith that are closed to "debate" due to the
belief it was "ordained" and must be "open" only to the presumed
interpretive dexterity of apologists–(often) arrogant humans who
claim to know exactly what Allah wants from everyone. Beyond the
protection of faith such claim could very well be a lie. Knowledge
open to public discussion and debate, in contrast, is not.

Women and the politics of Fundamentalism in Iran
Journal no.6 1995. pp12-15.
A response to Haleh Afshar's article in WAF journal no 5
Mandana Hendessi and Rouhi Shafii
FIFTEEN years of Islamic fundamentalist government have taken a
massive toll on women's politics in Iran. Secularist feminism has been
suffocated within Iran's boundaries; its survival should be mainly
attributed to the efforts of Iranian women's groups outside Iran.
Women in Iran can raise their issues only by using the framework set
by the fundamentalists – they can exercise no real control over the
agenda. Naturally, given this imposition, those who have some
influence are women who are trusted by the regime as 'true believers'
of fundamentalism.
Haleh Afshar's position on fundamentalist women should be placed in
the context of a deepening identity crisis which many Iranian
secularist women living in the West face. It is part of a trend which
is developing amongst some academic Iranian feminists in an attempt to
respond to this crisis of identity. It was in 1985 in Nairobi, Kenya,
in the women's decade conference held by the UN, that the power and
appeal of fundamentalist Iranian women really sunk into our minds. it
became clearly apparent there that larger numbers of Muslim
third-world women were considering Islamic fundamentalism as a viable
political option to combat western imperialism.
A cross-section of third-world women, from Bolivia right across the
globe to the Philippines, tended to find the 'anti-imperialist'
message of fundamentalism more attractive – more tangible. They also
considered the struggle against imperialism as a priority overriding
the importance of achieving gender equality. Haleh Afshar is therefore
quite right to claim the third-world popularity of the fundamentalist
This meant that we, as secularist feminist participants, had to spend
time discussing with third-world women our differences with
fundamentalist women, convincing them that we were also
'anti-imperialists' rather than raising their awareness about our
principal reason for being there – defending the rights of Iranian
women. On the other hand, we felt a distance between ourselves and
feminists representing Western countries who were less enthusiastic to
commit themselves to issues around imperialism and racism which we
were facing.
The Nairobi conference is just an example to demonstrate the gulf
between us and the two dominant camps: the 'anti-imperialist' and
Western feminists (the 'anti-imperialist' camp at that time also
included women from the Soviet-supported countries and 'liberation
movements', e.g. Cuban and Palestinian women), our isolation, the
struggle to be understood by both and the enormous difference between
our resources and theirs. And it is this isolation which, in our view,
has given rise to a crisis of identity amongst many secularist Iranian
Where do we belong? A question we repeatedly ask ourselves. In
resolving this, some women have found the pull towards a full or
partial reconciliation with Iranian-style fundamentalism stronger. A
trend is now developing amongst some Iranian feminists, notably
academics like Haleh Afshar, to 'stand back and consider' Islamic
fundamentalism as opposed to stand up and fight against it.
If we examine what Haleh Afshar as a key participant in this tendency
was saying in the early 1980's, shortly after the fundamentalist
triumph in Iran, and what she is advocating now (though it is not
always possible to see clearly where she stands), we can see the
changes which have occurred since then in her views on fundamentalism.
Haleh Afshar contributed to a well-researched book called In the
Shadow of Islam: 7-be Women's Movement in Iran, published in 1982. In
her essay entitled "Khomeini's Teachings and Their Implications for
Iranian Women", she argued that women in Iran faced the dual problem
of the Qur'anic text and the clergy's interpretations of it. The text,
she argued, 'relegates women to the sphere of domesticity and gives
them a status below men' and the second obstacle is the text's
clerical interpretations which further reinforces women's
She then compared the populist appeal of fundamentalism amongst
Iranian women to that of fascism for Italian and German women in the
Like fascism, Shi'ism has been using a pre-exis-tent ideology 'which
was 'already deeply inscribed in the unconscious' to transform and
recombine pre- existent patriarchal values and reimpose its yoke on
women. Further, the substance of Khomeini's statements concerning
women are strikingly similar to those of the Nazis. Both ideologies
uphold the legal provision of the patriarchal society, place the
family at the centre of society, with women as guardians, protectors
and servants of this unit.
On the basis of support for Khomeini, which she compared with those of
Hitler and Mussolini, she wrote:
just as Mussolini drew the Italian women out into the streets, so
Khomeini draws out his black-veiled demonstrators, cheering, mourning
or chanting slogans supporting the revival of morality and the old
Is this crowd of black-veiled demonstrators, chanting slogans
supporting the revival of a fascist-like morality, the same women to
whom Haleh in her WAF article attributes to 'have consistently and
convincingly argued that Islam as a religion has always had to
accommodate women's specific needs'? Yes, they are.
They are women who have been either staunchly religious all their
lives, mainly from middle-class backgrounds, or those who resolved
their crisis of identity in the Pahlavi era, where they were torn
between a modernist state and religious values, through joining the
ranks of Islamic fundamentalism as a revolutionary force.
The first group, mainly older women, were attracted to the
fundamentalist movement because they had always desired an Islamic
state. The second group, however, had more complex need They were
generally younger and deeply frustrated with a crisis of identity
brought about by a conflict between the values of their religious
families and those of a secular state.
They were predominantly brought up in families ranging from lower to
upper middle-class back-grounds. Their upbringing required an
adherence to religious values which were increasingly undermined by
the demands of a modernist state. They were young women who took off
their veils outside the high-school or university gates and put them
back on at the front door of their homes.
They lived two lives, separating their family life from their outdoor
activities and interests, nurturing secrets about both. Those outdoor
acquaintances and friends who were the off springs of secular families
tended to put down religious values, calling them 'backward and
regressive'. On the other hand, their families were punitive and
hostile to secular values, and to women unveiled and mixing with men.
These young women were drawn in great numbers to revolutionary Islam
which started gaining momentum rapidly in the mid-1970s. They took
shelter within its confines and gained strength through its supportive
and fraternal networks. It was bliss, an alternative to the combined
pressures they were under – those exerted simultaneously by
traditional Islam and the secular state.
It was an attractive option as it drew a distinction between its
vision for future development, and both traditional Islam and the
modernist Pahlavi state. The former was proclaimed as stifling
progress and the latter as promoting Iran's domination by the West.
The revolutionary Islamic leadership condoned traditional family
values, whilst encouraging these young women to retain an active
interest in a political movement which was preparing for power.
It is not they who have changed, but Haleh Afshar's views of them.
Whereas before she saw them as a black-veiled crowd, she is now
adopting a more understanding stance towards them. They are
enlightened 'Islamist' women.
Is the Qur'anic text embodying 'women's specific needs' different from
that which 'relegated' women to the sphere of domesticity in the years
immediately following the revolution? Hardly. We are dealing with the
same text, written 1400 years ago, and the same fundamentalism, though
after the death of Khomeini we have become more aware of the different
tendencies within it. All of them unite on the oppression of women.
This is not to deny that fundamentalist women have made some important
gains in reforming laws in favour of raising women's status in the
family, and that many of them are becoming more conscious of the stark
oppression women face in Iran. But, do we have to go as far as
sympathising with them and their oppressive philosophy?
It is like Christian women winning the battle on women's ordination.
True, we were happy for them and cheered them. But, we did not join
them. We also made no effort to stand back and sympathise with their
In her WAF article, Halch Afshar claims that the 'Islamist' women's
return to the 'source' is the desire to return to the 'golden age' of
Islam. That is when Islam was a new religion. This 'golden age'
embraced the period where Islam respected the economic inde-pendence
of women such as, according to Haleh Afshar, Khadija, the wealthy wife
of Mohammed.
Islam in the first two decades of its emergence, like any new order,
made certain concessions. it had to because it was a new movement and
the prevailing social relations had been robustly in place for
centuries previously. The pre-Islamic social relations which provided
women with a relative economic and social freedom had to be at least
partially accommodated (Mernissi,1993; Ahmed,1992). Women, in the
pre-Islamic Arabia could remain within their own tribes as opposed to
moving to those of their hus-bands, as advocated by Islam. They could
choose to reject their husbands' sexual demands without fearing
When Islam consolidated its global grip, achieving a comfortable
leadership position, its tolerance of these freedoms was lowered
substantially (Mernissi, 1993; Ahmed, 1992). It then started reversing
the position of women through using force. The 'golden age' was indeed
At the time of the Iranian revolution many women, those reared by
religious and veiled mothers, re-veiled themselves, discarding their
'Western' clothes. However, we have now had fifteen years of Islamic
fundamentalism in Iran. Can we now say that during these years, where
women have faced a strong denial of their rights as citizens in every
sphere of choosing their clothing, employment, education, travel, etc,
they are still 'choosing' the veil as a liberating symbol?
In a country, where the moods of the ruling regime and the extent of
its factional divisions is measured through the tightness of women's
veils, what is the 'choice' for women? Naturally to survive, women
have to adhere to Islamic clothing.
Looking closely at government policies on education and employment of
women, the element of 'choice', to which Haleh repeatedly refers,
becomes a mere myth. The basic goal of educating women in Iran is to
produce Islamic women (Higgins, Shoar- Ghaffari, 1994). Purification
and commitment take precedence over knowledge and skills. The belief
underlying both the content and the form of women's education in Iran
is that women's primary role in life is to be good wives and mothers.
The suitability of other activities is judged by the degree to which
they interfere with or draw women away from their family
Women are virtually excluded from agricultural and technical fields
(Higgins, Shoar-Ghaffari, 1994). Whereas Haleh Afshar proudly rejoices
in the triumphs of young Iranian women in achieving top grades in
university entrance exams because they had male math teachers, we
would ask: what is the point of celebrating this when they are
ultimately barred from further education and employment in
agricultural and technical areas? What is so remarkable here when they
are discouraged to become math teachers themselves? Instead, should we
not demand women as math and science teachers?
In respect of other Muslim countries, the concept of choice for women
to re-veil is again blurred when one considers the existing political
vacuum. Fundamentalism is gaining momentum because there is no other
political alternative to the prevailing stagnant ruling regimes. The
demise of the Soviet Union and the subsequent retreat of socialism as
a state ideology have left a large gap which is now, sadly, being
filled by Islamic fundamentalism in countries like Sudan, Egypt and
Fundamentalist women have always based their negation of 'Western'
feminism on a widely-accepted myth. This myth is born out of a
profound ignorance of feminist history and what feminism stands for.
The myth says that feminism in the West has reduced women to 's**
objects'. it has degraded them to the level of 'marketing their
sexuality as an advertising toot to benefit patriarchal capitalism'.
The myth also says that Western patriarchy has 'offered' women these
kinds of degrading freedoms.
Women in the West have worked hard to establish major rights and
freedom of choice for women, stemming from the dominant liberal
ideologies. They have wholeheartedly opposed the objectification of
women through redefining sexuality, offering a strong negation of its
macho manifestations in p********** and advertising. There is no
doctrine in feminism, as there is in Islam, on how women should or
should not behave, which makes the claims of fundamentalist women
Women's rights to personal autonomy in the West have been achieved
through consistent struggles, though we still have a long way to go.
They were not offered on a plate. For instance, nowadays we take for
granted a woman's right to live in a women's refuge when leaving a
violent relationship. This was a struggle in which the women's
movement in Europe and America fought hard to win, starting in the
early 1970s.
Western women have no exclusive ownership of feminism. Iran has not
been without its own feminists through its many different periods of
development. Going back to 2500 years ago, to the ancient Iran, women
ruled as queens.
We have many examples of women leaders – Queen Esther, Pourandokht and
Azarmidokht, to name a few. Even the then patriar-chal poet, Ferdowsi,
could not fail to ignore the power of women as depicted in his
fictional characters of Roudabeh, Tahmineh and Gordafarid.
In the nineteenth century, Iranian women led the struggle for
educational rights and political freedom. Later, women like Parvin
E'tesami and Forough Farrokhzad used their poetic imagination to
cam-paign against women's exploitation continuing the path of the
earlier feminists.
The failure of liberal democracy in Iran in the early and middle
twentieth century led to the isolation of feminism. Liberal state
ideologies which flourished during the Constitutional Revolution
0905-1911) and later re-emerged in the mid-1950's failed to rally
support for two major reasons.
First, Iran's global position as a country under imperialist
domination undermined the growth of a state ideology based upon
parliamentary democracy and individual liberties. Secondly, Iran with
a large peasant population, dispersed over a wide and large-ly
inaccessible geographical area, a small though growing industrial
working-class.1 and a long history of autocratic kingdoms, found
liberalism an alien concept irreconcilable with its communal and
feudal cultures. Indeed Eastern-style socialism (particularly Maoism)
had more appeal, (still insignificant compared with Islamic
fundamentalism) to Iranian mass-es because of its closeness to
autocracy and dictatorship.
To argue that fundamentalism or 'revivalism' has been a God-sent gift
to Iranian women (p17, WAF 5) reflects the naive romanticism of those
who can choose to live outside it and be unaffected by it. True,
Iranian women have demonstrated resilience against fundamentalist
encroachments, and some fundamentalist women have shown how the law
can be reformed in favour of women as a whole. But not all Iranian
women have gained specific benefits from the fundamentalist regime.
Only for some women fundamentalism has been a god-send, through which
they have gained respectability and a high social status. These are
mainly women in the top echelons of the Islamic state hierarchy, who
are distinguished and accredited for being related to and supported by
powerful men, and their female cronies who run the regime's charitable
institutions with no wage expectations.
They have just managed to, in fact can only, touch the surface. The
roots are rotten to the core. And that is because Islamic
fundamentalism is essentially an ideology which reinforces male
domination and women's oppression. The evidence of this is starkly
visible in Iran and in the other parts of the world where
fundamentalism controls the state. Even in places, like Turkey, where
it is an oppositional force, we can clearly see the subordination and
marginalisation of women within its ranks. It is a system through
which women can only exist and be spoken about through their relations
with a man – they have no identity of their own. A close look at Haleh
Afshar's article illustrates this.
Throughout the article, when referring to the key Islamic women,
whether those in the past or present, they are introduced as wives,
sisters or daughters of a notable male figure. Khadija and Aiesha were
Mohammed's wives (two of the hundreds of wives and concubines lie
happened to possess), Fatima is known as Mohammed's daughter and Imam
Ali's wife, Azam Taleghani as the daughter of the late Ayatollah
Taleghani, and Zahra Rahnavard the wife of the previous prime minister
The oppression of women within fundamentalism is a well-documented
fact, not least in In The Shadow of Islam, of which Haleh Afshar was a
co-author in 1982. As a state ideology, it cannot be reformed to
include women as equal partners with men in social and political life,
neither can it be reformed to ensure women's equality in the family.
Women will continue to be marginalised under fundamentalism because by
definition it is a return to an archaic set of gender relations based
upon domesticity and the Subjugation of women.

Women in Iran to Boycott Elections, Seek Options:
With Iran's reformists barred from standing in parliamentary elections today, female leaders are taking stock and looking for options beyond electoral politics to carry on their cause for equality.
Two women in Tehran walk past campaign poster
(WOMENSENEWS)–Female voters have played a decisive role in shaping Iran's politics in the past seven years. But today, many will be staying away from an election they consider a sham.
With more than 2,000 mostly moderate candidates banned last month from standing in the parliamentary election, the theocratic leadership has been accused of trying to rig the outcome in advance. The ban was imposed by the unelected clerics and Islamic lawyers who sit on the Guardian Council, a constitutional body that vets all legislation. Over a third of parliament has resigned in protest, and the reformists have promised to boycott the election.

Castell Coch, on a steeply wooded hillside north of Cardiff is proof that fairy tales do, sometimes, come true. Of course it helped that the client was John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the spectacularly rich 3rd Marquess of Bute and his architect was eccentric genius William Burges, one of 19th century Britain's most imaginative designers. While working for Lord Bute at Cardiff Castle, William Burges drew up plans for the reconstruction of Castell Coch, a ruined 13th century castle on the Bute estates north-east of Cardiff. Although the plans were drawn up in 1872, due to the scale of the ongoing work at Cardiff Castle, work on Castell Coch did not begin until 1875.
Lord Bute a serious and committed antiquarian and scholar had a passionate interest in archaeology. In 1871 he commissioned an extensive programme of excavations at Castell Coch, the Red Castle. So in 1872 with the ruins cleared of vegetation he asked William Burges to imagine what the original appearance of the castle would have been like.
The origins of the castle go back to the 11th century when the Welsh were defending their country against the Norman invaders who sought to conquer the south-west of the country. The first stronghold on the site was a motte and bailey, later a stone keep was erected on the summit. By the 13th century the area was controlled by the powerful Clare family, lords of Glamorgan, and they built the first of Castell Coch's three great towers, the Well Tower.
Two further towers were added to the southern face of the castle, overlooking the Taff Gorge, most probably by Earl Gilbert de Clare (1263-95), responsible for building Caerphilly Castle. However soon after Castell Coch seems to have suffered the depredations of war and was finally abandoned after the Welsh rebellions of the early 14th century. Then, after a gap of 550 years, the Marquess of Bute engaged William Burges to recreate the castle.
What Lord Bute's cash and William Burges' imagination created was a stunning fantasy castle. Never intended to be a permanent residence Castell Coch was a spectacular folly to augment Lord Bute's vast Welsh estates.
The dramatic entrance to the castle is by means of a wooden bridge to the gatehouse, defended by a working portcullis and drawbridge and a wooden platform above. Bute and Burgess wanted to emulate Viollet-le-Duc at Carcassonne and Pierrefonds. Spiritual protection is provided by a statue of the Madonna and Child
The Courtyard was inspired by the castle of Chillon and Viollet-le-Duc's covered wall walk at Pierrefonds.

Although Castell Coch was never intended as a permanent residence, after Lord Bute's death, his widow and daughter Lady Margaret withdrew here for the mourning period. Lady Bute recieved the use of Castell Coch for life. However the castle was only used for occassional visits in summer and for an annual meet of the Pentrych Hunt. The castle was requisitioned in the Second World War and in 1950, the 5th Marquess of Bute handed Castell Coch over to the Ministry of Works, whose successors Cadw care for the castle today.

This year we have a healthy harvest of Saskatoon berries. We have spent a few hours each of the past weekends gently shaking loose the ripe berries into metal bowls. The berries are so plump and juicy. We have a few bushes by our vegetable garden but there are also little secret hidden bushes down in the woods by the pond.
We have been giving away the berries to friends who are ambitious and want to make fresh pies and other baked goods. We tucked away a big bag in the freezer for future muffins and waffles. A sweet little burst of fresh berry flavour brings simple recipes to life.
The best gift of berries that I gave – was to a wonderful friend who not only helped me pick the berries but she sorted and cleaned them – and then best yet she turned them into a delicious Saskatoon crumble that I ate for breakfast (with a fresh coffee and the paper!) Oh yes. Sweet little berries.

Chinese CATV network as a significant national informationalized infrastructure has become the one with largest number of users of the world over development more than 20 years. The information transmission is currently at the very evolution from unidirectional simplex conformation to bidirectional multiplex conformation, from resource monopoly to resource sharing, and from free-standing system to open system.
As the most top tier information service provider in China, broadcasting & CATV operator has undeviating considering of CATV service as the profit basis and by which, the dominant marketing position can be kept.

For Sanofi SA, a deal with Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. would help offset declining sales of its best-selling insulin Lantus--though, like Johnson & Johnson, it might struggle to agree on price or structure.
Paris-based Sanofi is in talks for a deal with the Swiss biotech company, which had also drawn interest from J&J until the U.S. health-care company bowed out of the race on Tuesday.
Continue Reading Below
The negotiations are focused on the structure of a deal and the value of Actelion's pipeline, according to a person familiar with the matter. To bridge their differences, the companies are discussing a so-called earn-out, which would shift the value of the deal over time based on Actelion's results, and the possibility of excluding some of its research-and-development operations, this person said.
The big attraction for Sanofi is Actelion's portfolio of drugs for pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare respiratory disease. That franchise is expected to notch strong growth thanks to the recent launch of two new drugs for the disorder.
Those drugs, and others in the portfolio, would immediately boost Sanofi's top line, which is struggling to grow amid dwindling sales of its best-selling insulin Lantus.
Sanofi, like other insulin makers, is being forced to cut or flatten its prices by powerful middlemen that buy drugs on behalf of insurers and employers. Eli Lilly & Co. plans to launch a less-costly copycat of Lantus in the U.S. early next year, piling further pressure on Sanofi.
That has sent Sanofi on a deal-hunting spree: Earlier this year it mounted a failed bid for cancer biotech Medivation Inc.
Acquiring or otherwise joining with Actelion would also fit with Sanofi Chief Executive Olivier Brandicourt's aim of focusing the company on a narrow group of areas where it can play to its strengths. Sanofi is already one of the world's largest makers of rare-disease drugs through its Genzyme business.
Still, Sanofi could come up against the same roadblocks as J&J: price and structure.
One problem is that wringing synergies out of an acquisition of Actelion could "kill the goose that lays the golden egg," said UBS analyst Michael Leuchten. That is because Actelion's sales force is highly specialized and would need to be retained after any deal.
Another is the difficulty of evaluating Actelion's pipeline of experimental drugs, many of which are in the midst of crucial clinical trials that haven't so far produced results. It isn't clear what price Sanofi is discussing paying or what structure is envisioned, but a deal could value Actelion at as much as $30 billion. Sanofi declined to comment.
"There is a disconnect between what [Actelion] thinks it is worth and what the market believes it is worth," said UBS's Mr. Leuchten. Actelion had a market value of more than $22 billion as of Tuesday's close but was down nearly 10% in afternoon Zurich trading on Wednesday. Sanofi shares were down 2.1% in afternoon Paris trading.
What's more, Actelion's founder and chief executive, Jean-Paul Clozel, has been resistant to takeover approaches in the past and ultimately could decide to remain independent or strike a deal that falls short of an acquisition.
Sanofi might not be willing to pay the price it takes to secure Actelion. While its failed pursuit of Medivation was driven by its need to catch up with rivals in oncology, Sanofi already has a strong rare-disease unit in Genzyme. "I wouldn't necessarily characterize this as a deal that they have to do," said a banker who isn't involved in the talks. "Do they really need to do this to get to critical mass in rare diseases?"
Actelion is unusual among companies of its size for a strong sense of identity that stems from the husband-and-wife team at its core.
Dr. Clozel's wife, Martine, is the company's chief scientific officer. The pair, along with other former Roche Holding AG employees, left the Swiss drug giant to found Actelion in 1997 after Roche decided not to pursue a project their group was working on.
Actelion declined to comment beyond a statement it released Tuesday confirming that J&J had withdrawn from talks and that it was engaged with another party regarding a possible transaction.

This video, produced by BBC 2, provides deep insights into the start of modern military intelligence, including context from one of the first OSS agents (soon CIA) to operate in Berlin after the war. This very interesting leader, Peter Sichel, is a great story teller and is perfect as a witness to this critical part of history. But a quick look at wikipedia reveals more very interesting aspects to Peter. He is known as a world renowned wine expert, and is responsible for bringing Blue Nun wine to the world.

I was lucky enough to snag an ARC of Maggie Stiefvater's novel Shiver at the American Library Association convention here in Chicago a few months ago.
I haven't read her other book, Lament, but I plan on it.
Shiver is a well-written novel about two souls who have known each other from a distance for a long time. But they don't really know each other. They just have this connection.
Only problem is, one of them isn't human. Well, at least not all the time.
It depends on the weather.
That's all I'm going to say.
You probably know the storyline already anyway, but I'll keep it quiet for the few visitors who might drop by who don't read MG and YA fiction as obsessively as I do.
At its crux, Shiver is a neat concept. It's about transformation, shedding a cloak, wild nature, the beast in us all.
I really enjoyed the community of creatures and how they interacted while in their human form.
Grace, our heroine, is very genuine. We can relate to her. Her parents are distant and have no idea what she's doing half the time. Mom's a flighty painter. Dad is invisible to her.
It's a love story, of course, and has a very lyrical style.
The more I think about it, as I write this, I really liked this book. She's definitely a good writer.
Check it out.
Cold Love

As a twin mama I get asked a lot of stupid questions. Typically conversations go as follows:
"You have your hands full. Are they twins?"
"They don't look much alike"
"No they are fraternal, and very different"
"Do twins run in your family?" or recently "Was it a surprise?" (usually meaning did you do IVF)
"No they don't" or "Yes it was a huge shock. We never expected to have twins, they were spontaneous"
I typically try to end the conversation there. I hate how having twins means that people can ask you crazy questions about your reproductive system. I always feel a little self concious at church too, which is totally my own doing. No one has ever said anything to me, but we are Catholic and reproductive help is not sanctioned by the church (which I think is stupid but I'll keep that to myself). So I feel like people just assume that is what we did, and everyone is judging me. Which is so stupid, I know they don't. Ok ramble done.
Any way we had a friend who is a fraternal twin in town, she said she and her sister learned how to say fraternal by the time they were three because they got so many questions. But our friends were so different from each other that you never really even thought of them as twins but they have always been very close, which is what I am hoping for my girls.
We treat them as two very separate individuals which based on the research I've done seems like it is the best thing to do since they are two very different people. They've started picking out their own clothes (with limitations or they would wear elmo slippers and cowboy boots everywhere). They choose very different things. I plan on potty training Soph first because Lily has no interest. Lily will use the potty when she is good and ready. I discipline them differently at times because different methods work better for each- Lily will do time out but if you yell at her it hurts her feelings and Soph responds much better to verbal correction.
They are different but oh how they love eachother. They try and sleep in the same bed at night, they act truly excited when they see each other after nap time. The other day they had the following conversation:
"Yeye, I miss you" Big hug
"Soapie, I miss you" big hug
and they kept doing this over and over.
They watch out for each other when they are around other kids. Sophie always makes sure Lily has a toy, and they both want to take turns with each other, forget all the other kids but they are happy to go Sophie then Lily then Sophie then Lily.
It's been an interesting ride so far, I'm a little excited to see how their relationship changes- if we survive the terrible twos...

Oh, the questions people think they're entitled to ask just because we have two babies the same age...it kills me!ReplyDelete
I try to adopt the attitude of "they're just curious, and they think the girls are adorable...so it's a compliment, really"...but my reaction varies based on how much of a hurry I'm in at the time! : )
I hope my girls continue to be close as well. Right now, I buy two of most outfits because I've found it's EASIER to dress them alike, rather than fight over it. The teenage years should be lots of fun--ha!
