Not all conservatives are Trump supporters.
No, but his approval rating among conservatives.
This is a thread about how to talk with people, but this... this is why we can't.
ETA: And just one more thing to be clear. This is what pisses me off to no end about this forum. I'm not even conservative, but I spend so much time arguing about what is fair or unfair to deduce about "what conservatives really think" and whether they're all racists or some of them are just racist sympathizers that I don't even get to talk about what I actually believe because otherwise there is so much unchecked bullshit it's not even worth having a conversation.

ASL, I'm sure you're aware of most of the nasty, deplorable things that Trump has said. The only Republican politicians willing to openly speak out against him are ones who've announced that they're not going to run for reelection. According to Gallop, his approval rating among Republicans has consistently been in the 80s.
I've been debating for years about whether or not to say this on the boards, but here goes: I identify as transgender though I'm not and do not plan to transition at this time. Donald Trump and Mike Pence support policies that represent an actual threat to people on the LGBT spectrum. Pence, for example, supports "conversion therapy," which is to take someone and torture them until they're willing to pretend that they're a heterosexual cisgender individual.
Trump is currently ordering immigration officials to separate children from their families at the border. This is to deliberately frighten them, that is not a side effect, it's the intended goal.
This is not an argument about opinions. What's the middle ground that I'm supposed to aim for? That they'll only torture me until I'm halfway ready to confess? That they'll agree to only take some of the children? Why is it that so many "you've got to talk with them" statements are aimed at liberals and not conservatives?
I come from a strongly conservative family. My dad doesn't have anything in particular against gay people, but every time there's a choice he'll vote for a conservative candidate who's running on an anti-LGBT platform if that person also promises to ease pollution regulations on businesses. The statements I make on this subject aren't based on things I've read on internet forums and op-ed pieces, they're what I've personally experienced.
I do think there is a certain point, perhaps related mostly to difference of opinion or logical reasoning and argument, where dialog is not productive. I don't accept the idea that talking about any problem is a productive way to resolve differences or accomplish progress.
I don't need to read most of the threads posted here about radical antifeminists because (IMO) most of the whole world is very antifeminist and I feel I've heard enough of their arguments to know (with a 99.9% probability) how I will feel about the others. I don't need to see or talk about yet another YouTube fascist, or antifeminist, or racist, etc. I don't need to explain to the person in my family who couldn't understand "how is Birtherism racist?" I'm sure I could make a not-terrible argument and I might even convince one person after a lot of back and forth but for what? (Yes, I know, "it mattered to that one starfish" but heck no I am not going to go around trying to save a starfish so far from shore when there are 30 million of them and thousands that are a lot closer to the waves.) I don't think he will ever convince me it's not racist, either. So I said, no, I'm not going to have that discussion. If those people really do want to know my side of the argument they can easily look it up on the web. It's all been said before.
That said, there are plenty of conservatives and even right wing people who I feel I can talk to. I've had a lot of great conversations here with conservatives. Yeah, some of them have gone away but so have plenty of our most strident liberals. This is still the best place I know of to come for a real discussion that's likely to be productive and interesting and has very often changed my own point of view, never mind others. I miss a lot of old members but I don't want them around if they feel uncomfortable in my favourite place.
ASL: yes, that's what I meant by saying that the board may be seen as hostile to conservatives.
crocoduck_hunter: I've got no problem with you attacking Trump. I've got no problem with attacking voting for Trump, or for representatives who will vote with Trump. I've got a problem with lumping everybody on the Right, all conservatives, in with Trump. Yes, he's got relatively high support among them -- but he hasn't got all of them. And he has some of the ones he does have because they've been convinced by their "news" sources that the alternative was a murderer and pedophile. That is of course nonsense; but humans very often believe nonsense. You and I are probably each believing some nonsense right now, though very likely on different subjects entirely.
ganzfeld: one of the things I've loved best about these boards is that I have seen minds change here. I've changed my own about a couple of things. And people do change their minds: on this board and elsewhere. It's not always immediately obvious; sometimes it takes years. And of course it doesn't always happen. But slamming the door in people's faces -- I'm not going to say that's never useful; sometimes I think it is. I don't think this is the place where it's most likely to work, though. I think that may actually be more effective coming from people one knows in the flesh.
Ganzfield brings up two really good points that I want to use as jumping off points. Thanks for the segue, ganz.
"I can't debate {group with different view} because no matter how hard I hit them with my points, they won't change their mind."
I asked, is there anything they can say that would make you change your mind? To which I got a firm, very assertive "no". Then, I submitted, you aren't willing to debate then either. That got about a five post response that highlighted the emotion, energy and depth of conviction for this one poster, as well as their inability to reason with anyone who challenged them. This poster also attributed my challenge to mean that I was a supporter of that other group, which was wrong.
The inability to discuss points, which should be the easiest thing to do, is becoming one of the hardest blocks to clear. Our television channels all have panels of guests that are either in complete lockstep (Fox) or constantly bickering (CNN) and no actual dialogue is underway. A study done by CBC during the 2004 US presidential election (remember Bush and Kerry?) highlighted that although those panels drew in viewers, it did absolutely nothing to convince voters or further educate voters on the issues. So, with these television channels all putting up the notion that loud and unresponsive dialogue is acceptable, then where are the regular people going to go for their guidance on debate?
And it need not be about politics: Vaccinations, GMO, WTC7, Kennedy Assassination, death penalty, pharmaceuticals etc. They all draw out an emotional response, and the default in the past 20 years has been to loud, unresponsive argument.
So, perhaps dialogue is not the best way forward in many cases.
All that being said, it did come with gang maulings, irresponsible invective, and the occasional intervention by the mods. All that was salted by the threads about our pets, families, jobs and lives.
While the liberal/conservative balance has always bent more towards the liberal, there were times where due to personalities, it leaned way over and several of our less liberal members disappeared. The pendulum has swung back towards the centre and the core membership here has a fairly decent balance. This is still a comfort zone for me to jump into. I've been here through three deployments to Afghanistan, one to Lebanon and one to Israel/Syria. It is a great place to hang out.
While conversations here may be slowly dwindling through the loss of some members (cancer is a terrible disease), it still holds a certain level of decorum. Some of our members have it in spades, and some have a little more to go to reach the level of decorum that I enjoy engaging in.
All told, I wish the rest of the world would use this place as an example of how to discuss their differences.
I have had some major opinion changes based on discussions on these boards, but that's all a distant memory now.
What's missing, here and so many other places, is people willing to take the time and patience to really get to the root of disagreements. Back when my opinions changed there were so many people, Silas Sparkhammer comes readily to mind, who would reply to even the most venomous post with kindness and an attempt to understand where the other person was coming from.
These days it seems like the way the world works, is we find a slot for someone and put them in it as quickly as possible. If that slot is a bad one, that person gets painted in the worst possible way and there's nothing to discuss with them.
Persecution complex mixed with confirmation bias would be one guess.
I'd say that one tends to hear more things targeted at those with his/her own political views.
As an example, I rarely see anyone on these boards make broad negative statements about all the liberals like those made about conservatives in this thread. That does not mean that such things are predominantly said by liberals.
Did we just slide into the equivalency zone?
I think we've been in the equivalency zone the whole time.
I'm seeing that a lot of people are worried about giving the other side an advantage, or the upper hand, or giving ground, by listening or trying to understand. I'm not sure that is a given from what I'm talking about. I'll try to explain a bit more, and maybe you can tell whether it still feels like you lose something by doing it, and if so, what it feels like you are losing.
One of the things that I realized is a part of my evolving views about this is something I learned from two different sources. From both teaching people how to provide good customer service, and from research-supported information about how to parent small children when they are having "big feelings," I've learned that people who are experiencing strong feelings basically can't process much else, and can't move on, until they feel heard. (Or until they deal with the emotion internally, but that takes emotional intelligence, which many people don't have.)
So, in thinking about the election, and the much higher Trump numbers than one might expect, and how motivated reasoning works, and the transparently untrue reasons some people gave for voting for him, I came up with a theory. I think that there are a chunk of white voters, more males than females, who are very scared about progressive ideas and culture. Being told they are privileged when they know they've had to struggle for everything they have, not having formerly "certain" things like knowing who is a girl and who is a boy, and whatever else seems threatening to them has left them very scared and angry. They feel like they are losing something, that progressives, immigrants, minorities, women, are all trying to take something from them, and that is triggering a very defensive response.
It's not necessarily wrong to say, "oh, boo hoo, get over it, you don't deserve to have privilege so it isn't really yours to defend," but it also doesn't solve a problem that is our problem too, which is that when people are feeling very threatened, scared, angry, they will vote for who and what makes them feel safe. And they will articulate reasons for it, but when those reasons are challenged, they will just shift their reasons or ignore the challenge. Because their actual motivations are visceral, not rational.
We all need to deal with that. And it isn't dealt with by having "debates" with people.
It is absolutely true that I should not have to listen to a homophobe who says awful things about me and my family. And I don't have to. I can refuse to listen. But I also know that studies have shown that attitudes are more progressive among those who personally know LGBT people. Even when the person is otherwise conservative.
I am not talking about compromising. I am not talking about everybody needing to become moderates. I am just talking about going into conversations with a goal, not of convincing someone of my point of view, but of learning something. When someone says something outrageous to me, thinking about asking them more about that, or acknowledging the feelings behind it, instead of attacking it.
There is a technique that used to be discussed here for dealing with people spouting ULs. It was referred to as polite persistent questioning. It isn't exactly what I'm talking about, but it is in the same vein. Instead of attacking what the person is saying head on, you ask them more about it. In this technique, there is actually a goal of showing them that they are wrong, but you can see that it can be more effective to draw someone out than to attack and have their defenses slam into place.
Anyway, thanks for posting your thoughts here-- I'm interested in seeing your views.
USA Today
The Atlantic
I found each of those from a quick search, on just the first page. There are plenty more. Can you direct me to an article where conservatives are being told to listen more to liberals, or that the attitudes of conservatives lead to more liberals?
I can find some that say both need to listen to each other, but the equivalent search that got my first four, swapping conservative with liberal, came up with mostly the same articles as my first search, plus some like these that ask both sides to listen.
Thought Catalog
Why is reciprocity important in this?
I was responding to Beach's claim that the thought that it is only liberals being told to listen is confirmation bias. I could not find any articles that are similar to the ones directed at liberals. There may very well be some, and I can just find the ones aimed at liberals easier because I have seen and read a number of them. But it has long been a part of this board where if someone makes a claim that others find dubious, that the person will be asked to back that up. My post was a more thorough, and I hope more polite, 'Cite, please'.
As to your latest post, and asking what we lose by it, is that we lose positioning on the Overton window. If side A listens and tries to understand what side B wants, but side B doesn't reciprocate, the window of discourse shifts toward side B. Then side A listens to the formerly extreme things that are now in the window, and the window shifts further. If everyone listened to each other, then there could be solutions that everyone could agree on. But when it is only one side willing to do so, it greatly benefits the non-listeners.
I think that most of us on the boards probably fall into the nuanced/moderate category, even if it seems that we're predominantly left-leaning. I think that given the state of discourse in general, a lot of the moderate voices maintain a sort of radio silence because it doesn't seem worth the mental energy and emotional toll to dive into partisan screaming matches. Unfortunately, this has played out in the real world as letting the extreme voices on either side frame the debate.
I looked up the Overton widow. Interesting. Do you know if there is any way to prevent or counteract the shifting effect without having to cease listening to people?

As a book lover, I faced a major conundrum: I never liked to read aloud in class or at home.
I was embarrassed. Every time I reviewed my homework or read something as simple as a TV Guide listing aloud to my family, I noticed that I accidentally skipped words or even found difficulty pronouncing a word I "knew," but I just could not get it right out loud. My mom began to notice this as well. She saw me devour book after book silently, but I would freeze if she asked me to read a passage. My usual response was "oh, this part is boring" or - my personal favorite - "my eyes are hurting now. I am going to take a break." My mom was hip to my reluctance - and then she took action. At back-to-school night, my mom got a lifeline from my teacher when she handed my mom the latest Scholastic Book Club flyer.
That evening I anxiously awaited to hear what my teacher said about me. Did she like me? Did she not appreciate my impression of her on the playground two days before? Luckily, I was greeted by my mom with the latest issue of "Lucky" and asked me to sit down and, "circle five books that I would like to read for fun, but on the condition that we needed to read it aloud together."
Flash-forward to a few months later. Thanks to these flyers, this became a monthly tradition of choosing an assortment of titles - from The Magic School Bus to Goosebumps to The Stinky Cheese Man... - and setting aside time to read aloud with my mom after a long day. Her efforts helped me become a more confident reader in grade school.
My mom discovered something that many parents should know today: recent research from the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report shows that 87% of kids ages 0-17 and 82% of their parents love(d) or like(d) read-aloud time as families say it's a "special time together" and it's "fun." This special bonding time helped my mother see what was tripping me up when I read aloud. I also found solace in reading aloud time, as I grew up in a single-parent household. Time was precious for all of us and, ultimately, provided me a sense of empowerment.
Even today, whenever I review an email at work or a blog post at home, I freeze if I need to it out loud. I just take a breath and channel my 8-year-old self sitting at the kitchen table with the latest Book Clubs paperback and recall my mom's mantra: "read slowly, thoughtfully and confidently."
Recalling this memory is rather surreal for me today as I work very closely with Scholastic Book Clubs as part of my daily job. I still get that thrill when I see that flyer get passed around the office.
I guess my journey did come to "full circle" after all with those flyers! Thanks to Scholastic Book Clubs - and mom's tireless efforts - I can confidently say that I now love to read aloud.

Fees for applications in respect of enfranchisement matters made to the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal will be introduced later this month, a year on from when the Ministry of Justice proposed a new round of court fee rises.
To date there have been no court fees associated with submitting an application seeking a determination on issues regarding a new lease or collective claim to buy the freehold.
The proposed fees will be £100 on submitting the application and £200 when the matter is listed for a hearing. Whilst the additional costs will not be popular, the fees are much more reasonable than the higher fees the Government initially proposed on the basis that enfranchisement cases often have large sums of money at stake.
No doubt the position (and revenue!) of fees will be monitored by the Government with the possibility that the fees will increase further down the line depending on the value of the case. When explaining the proposed fees, the Ministry of Justice said the courts and tribunals 'must continue to play their part' in the 'national effort' to reduce public spending, eliminate the deficit and reduce the national debt. No doubt this national effort is just as important now, if not more so, in the aftermath of Brexit.
Further information will be released shortly by the Property Chamber and we will keep you up to date here.

- About Hunger
- How to End Hunger
- Our Impact
- Get Involved
Bread for the World urges elected leaders in Washington, D.C., to enable people in our nation and our world to feed their families and move out of poverty.
Personalized emails stand out. They tell senators and representative that you, as a constituent, really care about an issue. Members of Congress want to hear from their constituents about the issues on which they will vote in the Senate and House of Representatives.
The following are issues moving in Congress and/or in the administration. This is your opportunity to change policies, programs, and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist here and abroad.
The federal budget provides Congress and the president with the single biggest opportunity to shape our country's priorities.
The choices our government makes regarding how it generates revenue and how it spends shared resources should promote hope, opportunity, and economic security for all people, especially those struggling to put food on the table.
As Christians, we believe that a key moral measure of our federal budget is how it treats those whom Jesus called "the least of these" (Matthew 25:45).
We must tell Congress to make funding decisions that put our country and the world on track to end hunger by 2030.
In 2016, the Global Food Security Act (GFSA) was signed into law with overwhelming bipartisan support. Since its passage, the GFSA has strengthened the accountability, implementation, and effectiveness of food security and nutrition programs, and reinvigorated a global commitment to help people feed and nourish themselves.
These vital programs combat global food insecurity by investing in agriculture development and building resiliency in developing countries. By equipping communities with the tools they need to help feed themselves, our global nutrition and food security programs have increased food and nutrition security for millions of people through improved agriculture production, market access, business development, private sector competitiveness, and nutrition interventions.
The U.S. farm bill not only sets most U.S. agriculture policies, but also authorizes both federal nutrition assistance programs and humanitarian relief for hunger emergencies overseas.
This wide scope makes the farm bill vital not only to farmers, but to other residents of rural areas, people anywhere in the United States who do not have enough money for food, and countries where many people struggle with hunger and malnutrition.
The farm bill can help put the United States on track to end food insecurity and hunger in our country and save millions of lives overseas. To do so, it must be designed with strong and resilient food systems and good nutrition as its top priorities.
People without documentation who live and work in the United States are among the most vulnerable in our country. They are more likely to live in poverty and to struggle to put food on the table. The national poverty rate is 14.8 percent, while immigrants as a group have a poverty rate of 30 percent. It is likely that the poverty rate of undocumented households is even higher.
Among those without documentation include 1.5 million young undocumented adults, also known as "Dreamers." They were brought to the United States at a very young age and have assimilated into our culture – learning English and absorbing American values. Many of these Dreamers were protected and provided work authorization through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In 2017, the Trump administration terminated the DACA program, upending the lives of hundreds of thousands of Dreamers and their family members.
Right now, Congress has the opportunity to make positive changes to our immigration system by passing bipartisan legislation like the Dream Act or the USA Act, which include a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and continued protection of immigrant families. Without action, thousands of immigrant youth are at risk of losing work authorization and other protections. Bipartisan legislation would help Dreamers continue to thrive and our nation to prosper.
Reforming our nation's criminal justice system is critical to ending hunger and poverty in the United States. Families are directly impacted when loved ones are incarcerated, especially if they are serving long prison sentences.
Harsh mandatory minimum sentences, combined with the lack of rehabilitative programs for people in prison, exacerbate hunger, poverty, and existing inequalities.
While serving time in prison, people lose income and work skills and often lack opportunities to participate in rehabilitative programs, making it even harder for many to find a job after leaving the prison system. This explains why 1 in 4 households headed by a returning citizen lives in deep poverty.
Reforms, such as reducing mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent offenders, would help reduce hunger and improve the stability of families in the United States. Additionally, giving judges more flexibility in sentencing would enable more parents to be with and support their families.
"Jesus said ...
'You give them something to eat.'"
These fact sheets provide a snapshot of hunger and poverty in the United States and in each state plus Washington, D.C.
Good nutrition is a critical part of ensuring that all human beings can use their bodies and minds to live an active life and reach their full potential.
Las personas que toman la decisión de dejar su hogar y venir a Estados Unidos, generalmente han tenido muy pocas opciones. Factores más allá de su control han provocado que sus circunstancias estén marcadas por hambre y violencia para poder quedarse.

The apparitions of
Chapter Twelve
Page 165
Conchita came out of church, more than thirty photographers and movie-cameramen were standing at the ready on the churchyard wall. Conchita was at once surrounded by a large crowd, kissing her, giving her pious medals, asking her to relay their requests to the Vision ... In church all morning was a French priest, Fr. Pel, aged 87, a man renowned for his saintliness." Fr. Pel had followed the course of events at Garabandal for some time, and that morning he assured everyone who asked him that he expected to see an impressive ecstasy that night.
After lunch, the rumor spread that the visionary had had two summonses. Old Garabandal hands were surprised at the news, because the apparition announced was of the Angel, and the "llamadas" or summonses only came when the Blessed Virgin appeared. I soon found that it was a false alarm, the result of someone's impatience, and perhaps not devoid of questionable intentions. Conchita, who was talking calmly with everybody who came near her, denied having had a summons.
The afternoon dragged on. People thronged the streets saying the rosary in different languages. People from France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Poland, the United States, etc., gathered before Conchita's humble dwelling, all unified by a common sentiment of supplication and love towards the Virgin Mary. Personally, I expected the apparition to take place in the early evening. I assumed that, as the Angel had appeared for the first time at 8:30 p.m., four years earlier, the prodigy announced would occur at more or less the same hour. I made for the center of the village and walked down the road to check the points of origin of the vehicles parked there. The result confirmed the sad truth: there were more foreign cars than Spanish ones. Garabandal is far better known outside Spain than within her frontiers. Is this perhaps due to the Church's attitude and the great respect felt in Spain for the decision of the ecclesiastical hierarchy? Otherwise, why would the events of Garabandal be so closely followed by Catholics all over the world, while Catholics in Spain remain ignorant, indifferent and silent?
I talked to Fr. Bernardino Cennamo, from the Convent of San Pasquale at Benevento (Italy). He gave me some photographs of Padre Pio, and as a relic, a scrap of cloth soaked in the blood from his stigmata. I met Roman journalist Gabriela Montemayor, and a famous Italian Television star, Signor Carlo Campanini. I spent some time with Fr. Pel, and with the apostle of Garabandal in France, Fr. Laffineur. I saw Dr. Caux, of whom we spoke in the chapter relating the miraculous Communion; and Monsieur Jean Masure, for whom Our Lady had a surprise in store that night, and

Review of 'How Much is Enough? The Love of Money and the Case for the Good Life'
On the 17th January I attended a very sociable gathering at the Social Market Foundation for a 'chalk and talk' session by Lord Robert Skidelsky showcasing his new book (written with his son, Edward) "How Much is Enough? The Love of Money and the Case for the Good Life", a book that I have been reading over the New Year festivities.
From the perspective of an adult educator there are two themes in the book that I am sure that ECA members will want to applaud warmly. Firstly, the Skidelskys take a very positive view of their fellow citizens. Far from believing that people if freed from the excessive burdens of work would simply lapse into drunkenness and debauchery they take a positive view of how people use their leisure time in a purposeful way. This chimes with the adult educator's view of seeing the best potential in their fellows. Secondly, I know that his opinion that all education, including adult education should be a preparation for a wholesome life and not a narrow preparation for work alone. They argue strongly that "leisure is the wellspring of higher thought and culture, for it is only when emancipated from the pressure of need that we really look at the world."
This fairly short book covers our present 'Faustian bargain' where an addiction to growth blinds us to realising the 'good life' rather than simply piling up more and also is critical of the 'mirage of happiness' as too vague and elusive. I doubt that many ECA members would disagree with that.
The main section outlines the elements of the good life as health; security; respect; personality; harmony with nature; friendship and leisure. Where we might disagree is over the balance between 'security' and 'freedom' (this appears mainly under the heading of 'personality' in their list of the elements of the good life). For if we become too cosy mentally then we may lose our creativity and our drive to improve but then the Skidelskys would argue that physical and mental danger does undermine the capacity to learn.[1] I guess that, as with so many of these issues, it's a matter of balance.
Members of the ECA will be particularly interested in the section on harmony with nature where this overlaps with our arguments on sustainable development. They are not impressed by the panic spread about the damage being done to the planet and 'tipping points' and less convinced by much of the argument about how much human beings and our pursuit of growth do real damage but they are open to say that they value nature not in its own right but as something that makes us feel better through our harmony with it – whether farming (but not factory farming) or conservation or relaxation. They call it 'good life environmentalism'.
Overall, we can be reassured that respect is a major ingredient of the good life, which is based upon what you do and how you do it rather than how much you earn. That is a powerful argument for culture and education in its own right and perhaps it might inspire a revulsion of the old Learning and Skills Council assumption that has been driving up fees for informal adult education over the past decade and even make some policy-makers less dismissive of the value of 'real leisure'. Yet we too might be challenged to ponder "how much is enough" adult education and in these straitened times how much it should be a call on the public purse!
[1] ECA Chair & CEO Bernard Godding adds that some work on resilience to dangerous situations suggests that learning from dangerous events and using this experience to anticipate hazardous situations can have positive mental and physical results for individuals. It seems that the active planning of responses to potential negative events can give real personal satisfaction and also enhance the social standing of individuals quite outside the times when incidents may occur. Take for example volunteer training in first aid through St John's and Red Cross and the highly visible presence of those trained volunteers at public events.

The Holy Prophet, who received the mightiest of revelations, or that revelation itself, is here called The Clear Evidence, the words supplying the name to this chapter, because this revelation, as this chapter shows, contained all the pure and essential teachings of previous scriptures. It may not be one of the very early revelations, but there seems to be no doubt that it is a Makkan revelation, such being the opinion of the majority.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
98:1 Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and the idolaters could not have been freed till clear evidence came to thema—
98:2 A Messenger from Allah, reciting pure pages,a
98:3 Wherein are (all) right books.a
98:4 Nor did those to whom the Book was given become divided till clear evidence came to them.a
98:5 And they are enjoined naught but to serve Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience, upright, and to keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, and that is the right religion.
98:6 Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and the idolaters will be in the Fire of hell, abiding therein. They are the worst of creatures.
98:7 Those who believe and do good, they are the best of creatures.
98:8 Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of perpetuity wherein flow rivers, abiding therein forever. Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him.a That is for him who fears his Lord.
1a. Both the People of the Book, people to whom revelation had been granted at some previous time, and the idolaters of Arabia, among whom no prophet had ever appeared, were sunk so deep in immorality and sin that only a Divine Messenger could now free them from this bondage. The Jews and the Christians, one after another, had exerted themselves to their utmost to reform Arabia, but both had failed. In fact they were themselves demoralised like the Arabs. It was not until they heard the spirit-stirring strains of the Arabian Prophet that they too awoke from their slumber, and sprang suddenly into a new and earnest life (Muir). That by the Clear Evidence is meant the Prophet is made clear in the next verse, where this Clear Evidence is spoken of as being a Messenger from Allah.
2a. It should be noted that the Messenger is here described as reciting pure pages, thus showing clearly that the Quran existed in a written form at the time of the revelation of this chapter. Their designation as pure is to show that the Holy Quran brought them out of all impurities.
3a. Kitab (pl. kutab) means a book or an ordinance. Whichever significance may be adopted, the meaning of the passage is that all those right directions necessary for the guidance of man, whether previously revealed or not, are to be met with in the Holy Quran. The Quran thus claims to contain all the good points of other sacred books, and, in addition, to supply their deficiencies.
4a. The division mentioned here is the division into believers and disbelievers, some accepting the Messenger and others rejecting him.
8a. The companions of the Holy Prophet are here spoken of as having attained to the highest spiritual stage; compare 89:27—30, where the same words occur regarding spiritual perfection; see 89:30a. This shows clearly that they were above all worldly motives, and not only joined Islam with the single object of pleasing God but also that their sincerity was above all reproach to the end, so that God was pleased with them and made them enter His Garden.

The next instalment in the Battlefield franchise has been announced – HARDLINE
Message from Steve Papoutsis, GM Visceral Games:
On behalf of everyone at EA and Visceral Games, I'm fired up to confirm our next project – Battlefield Hardline. The game launches this fall and it's a brand new series in the Battlefield franchise, set against the backdrop of a genre we all love – the war on crime and the battle between cops and criminals.
Several years ago, I was at an internal EA meeting in Barcelona with creative leaders from across the company. It was there I met Karl Magnus Troedsson, the GM of DICE, for the first time, and we immediately began talking about games – I've always loved Battlefield and KM was a huge fan of Dead Space, which I was working on at the time. We started talking about different ways we could work together, different ways we could take Battlefield and action games in a new direction. It was then that this project that became Battlefield Hardline was born.
There's been a lot of buzz today about Battlefield Hardline – we're getting ready for E3 and fans found some details on our website about what we're working on for the show. We've been reading all of your comments and we're excited to be going into more detail soon on the ways we're adding new twists and turns to the foundation of Battlefield multiplayer and more about how we're bringing our strengths at Visceral to single player.
Electronic Arts has already launched the official Battlefield Hardline website, and notes a date of June 9th, 12:00 PDT as the time that more information will be released. Obviously this means the main reveal of information will be at E3 as expected.
The images you see below have been taken from the Battlefield Daily Twitter account:
A logo for Visceral Games was also discovered on the Battlefield Daily Twitter account suggesting that the Dead Space creator is developing the game and Visceral Games' have rumoured that this next instalment is to be a police-themed entry in the series. Adding more wait to this rumour is the logos for groups called "SWAT" and "Thieves" that have been tweeted.
As more information unfolds early next month at E3 we will be sure to keep you up to date on what Battlefield has instal for you.

In the interior there is a very broad plain seamed by rivers and streams. It has many forests filled with all sorts of wild animals and is known to be delightful because of the natural charm of the landscape and rich in its arable fields. It seems like the paradise of God, or the fair land of Egypt. For it has, [[66]] as I have said, a most beautiful natural setting, but in consequence of the barbarous people it has only rarely the adornment of walls or houses; its bounds are set not so much by mountains and forests as by the course of its mighty rivers.
Now the aforesaid Hungarians are of disgusting aspect, with deep-set eyes and short stature. They are barbarous and ferocious in their habit and language. One seems justified in blaming fortune, or rather in marveling at divine patience, that has exposed so delightful a land to such—I will not say men, but caricatures of men. In one respect, however, they imitate the shrewdness of the Greeks, in that they undertake no important matter without frequent and prolonged deliberations. Finally, since in their villages and towns the houses are very wretched, made merely of reeds, rarely of wood, most rarely of stone, during the entire period of summer and autumn they live in tents.

For the end of it also is its beginning, which it seeks and in which it will rest when it has found it; a rest which will not consist in the abolition of its substance, but the return into those "reasons" whence it sprang.

Cadillac said to ready small SUV to spark U.S. sales
General Motors Co. is gearing up one of its car plants to build a new Cadillac crossover with hopes of reversing the luxury brand's sales slump in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter.
The automaker has begun building test versions of the Cadillac XT4 at its assembly plant in Kansas City, said the people, who asked not to be named because the company hasn't yet announced production plans. Tom Wickham, a GM spokesman, declined to comment.
The XT4 will have a dual mission for GM. The first is to give SUV-loving luxury buyers more options in Cadillac showrooms. The second is to make better use of the automaker's Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas at a time when auto companies are laying off workers who make passenger cars and contemplating whether to keep making their slowest-selling models.
For Cadillac, GM needs more sport utility vehicles to help sales in the U.S., which fell 8 percent last year. The brand's sales are booming in China but have struggled at home because dealers only have two SUVs to sell — the XT5 crossover and the full-size Escalade.
The XT4 will be smaller than the XT5 and give GM a competitor to vehicles like the BMW X3 and Audi Q3. In the U.S., the XT5 was one of only two models in the Cadillac lineup to see sales increase last year, with deliveries surging 73 percent.
"It's a new architecture for us, and it is up to the task," Johan de Nysschen, the president of Cadillac, said in an email. "It's the right size, dynamics and sophistication to attain what I believe is worthy of a Cadillac in this segment."
The XT4 will be built using similar underpinnings as the Chevrolet Malibu sedan also made at GM's Fairfax assembly plant, which will help defray the costs of parts for each vehicle. Building the SUV with shared parts is a welcome plan for workers at the factory, where GM cut a third shift last year as Malibu sales plunged 18 percent.
To keep passenger cars profitable, automakers are looking to build them alongside more profitable SUVs. Detroit's three carmakers build few SUVs and cars on the same assembly lines, while rivals Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. have done it for decades.

What if the tale were true? Can you imagine how the three kind souls would have felt if they'd learned of the man's demise? Have you ever attempted to give guidance, feedback, or help only to have it rejected? There may be a temptation to say "I told you so" or "I tried to warn you." On the other hand, you may feel guilty or frustrated that your good intentions were not well received, particularly if it involved someone you truly care for.
Having been in this position, I found it took time for me to realize that I had nothing to resent or regret. Sometimes after considerable angst, I came to accept that I did all I could do and now needed yto let go and let God. Givers cannot be responsible for the receiver's actions or response. Giving and receiving is a process, and givers only have control over the giving part; the receiving is up to the other party. If they're not ready or willing to accept what is offered, it does not diminish the giver's efforts.
Remember, this holds true with our children, parents, subordinates, siblings, and friends. Go easy on yourself; give from your heart and let it go.

Epigenetics in Cancer Poster
Adapted from the 2015 Cancer Product Guide Edition 3, this poster summarizes the main epigenetic targets in cancer. The dysregulation of epigenetic modifications has been shown to result in oncogenesis and cancer progression. Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations are considered to be reversible and thus make promising therapeutic targets.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Poster
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic destructive inflammatory autoimmune disease that results from a breakdown in immune tolerance, for reasons that are as yet unknown. This poster summarizes the pathology of RA and the inflammatory processes involved, as well as describing some of the epigenetic modifications associated with the disease and the potential for targeting these changes in the discovery of new treatments.

Dollar nurses losses, China data beats forecasts
By Wayne Cole
SYDNEY (Reuters) – The dollar huddled near a ten-month trough on Monday because the reduced chance of aggressive U.S. policy tightening sent investors piling into leveraged positions in greater yielding currencies or dangerous assets.
Sentiment got an additional boost after Chinese economic data handily capped forecasts with second-quarter gdp rising 6.9 % around the year.
Strength in retail purchase and industrial output helped offset an inadequate start for Shanghai stocks who have been associated with talk of tighter financial rules.
"It's encouraging for global growth too because China is the second biggest economy in the world,Inch stated Craig James, chief econOmist at fund manager CommSec in Sydney.
"According to this data, there's no requirement for easing with no need really for tightening either because inflationary pressures are extremely much contained," he added. "And So I think the central bank just remains careful."
Currency charts were already crowded with milestones using the euro near ground last trod in May 2016 and sterling at its greatest since September. The pound's 1.2 percent hop on Friday was the biggest in three several weeks and left it at $1.3106.
The was hovering at $1.1448 and just around the corner major resistance at $1.1489. The U.S. dollar index what food was in 95.177 getting touched its cheapest since September.
The dollar did get back just a little ground around the yen to 112.61, getting shed a large you'll need Friday when U.S. data demonstrated surprisingly soft readings for consumer prices and retail sales.
The repeated disappointment on prices cast an issue mark within the Federal Reserve's confidence that inflation would soon rebound.
"It's a mixed picture that will probably leave the Given careful, which is little question markets have decreased the chances of further rate hikes this season,Inch stated ANZ economist David Plank.
"Whether or not this also delays the beginning of balance sheet normalization remains seen, but we suspect the Given may wish to move on with this for the time being.Inch
Given funds futures imply around a 50-50 possibility of another hike by December, and also have under two moves priced in its the coming year. Given policymakers have penciled in a single more rise this season along with a further four in 2018.
The possibilities of a sluggish-motion Given pulled Wall Street's favored gauge of fear, the CBOE Volatility index, to the cheapest since December 1993.
Periods of market calm favor carry trades given that they lessen the chance of sharp and sudden reversals that will stop investors from their leveraged positions.
That encouraged flows into greater-yielding currencies, varying in the Australian dollar towards the Mexican peso and South African rand, and into emerging markets stocks.
The Aussie shot to some two-year high and breached major chart resistance along the way within the $.7700/7778 range. The Aussie was last at $.7820 with bulls individuals 200-week moving average around $.8026.

The Elder Scrolls: A Savage Worlds Conversion
Posted by Journeyman GM
I'm very pleased to announce the completion of several months labor: The Elder Scrolls: A Savage Worlds Conversion. This is a massive, 50-page conversion to bring the world of The Elder Scrolls video games into Savage Worlds.
Why Savage Worlds? Although it is mechanically quite different from The Elder Scrolls video games, I think it does a great job of telling the fantastic stories of heroes who make a difference in the land. My goal is to not replicate the feel of the games, but the feel of the world and what it would be like to have adventures there. I've taken elements from all the games, Arena through Skyrim, and created this awesome conversion.
This conversion includes everything you could ever want in an Elder Scrolls conversion:
- All ten races
- All thirteen birthsigns
- A revised magic system that replicates the feel of magic in the video games
- At least one Racial Edge for each race (including one that allows Nords to do dragon shouts)
- Sinning tables for all of the Nine Divines
- Rules for having gear made of a variety of materials
- Four new Professional Edges
- A bestiary with everything from Mudcrabs to Dremora Lords
- Two dozen artifacts
- Vampirism and lycanthropy
The current version is The Elder Scrolls for Savage Worlds v1.1 (600 KB PDF). I greatly encourage feedback, so put any suggestions you have below in the comments or contact me!
This work is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 and the Savage Worlds fan license. The Elder Scrolls and all related trademarks are the property of Bethesda Softworks.
Version 1.1 (31 March 2012)
New Features
- Created a new "Necromancer" Professional Edge, which provides a cheaper way of summoning Skeletons, allows the use of the zombie power, and allows the creation of Black Soul Gems
- Created a new "Wizard of War" Professional Edge, which allows an individual to make both a Destruction and Fighting attack in the same round and apply a –2 penalty to just one of them
- Added the jump power originally printed as the leap power in SharkBytes Vol. 1, Issue 3, pg. 36
Gameplay Changes
- The Alteration, Destruction, and Restoration skills are linked with Spirit, rather than Smarts
- In order to better replicate the games, additional Powers are now purchased with money, rather than learned as part of the New Power Edge.
- Altmer take a –2 Toughness versus Fire, Cold, and Electric attacks
- Khajiit now have a d6 Stealth at character creation
- The Steed birthsign now grants a bonus when running
- Scrolls with ranged spells target with a Smarts roll, rather than a Shooting roll
- The zombie power is now limited to those who have the Necromancer Professional Edge
- Slightly improved the Scamp's Pace and bite/claw attack and fixed an error in calculating its Toughness
- The Mace of Molag Bal now actually has its damage listed (Str+d8+2)
- A duplicate entry for Volendrug (with different statistics!) has been removed
Textual Changes
- Clarified text of Dunmer's "Grim Demeanor" racial feature to make it clearer that the Mean hindrance does not apply to other Dunmer
- Made the Khajiit climbing bonus listed separately from the Natural Claws racial feature.
- Clarified the Redguard Adrenaline Rush text to make it more obvious that Mighty Blow and other Wild Card Edges cannot be used
- Clarified the text of The Warrior birthsign to indicate that it can't be used to boost damage
- Made it clearer that most, but not all, attack powers bottled in a potion will require a Throwing roll to activate
- Added a missing "not" to the Enchantment text
- Added mark to note that Bless/Curse is found in the Fantasy Companion
- Gave the falling rate in game inches for the Slowfall power
- Clarified text of Azura's Star to make it clear that a creature must have the soul trap spell active upon it for it to be trapped
Version 1.0 (5 March 2012)
- Initial Release
The Quick and Easy Character Background
Posted by Journeyman GM
Characters aren't just people who suddenly poofed into existence at the start of the campaign. They have a past, secrets, and dreams. A good GM will try to incorporate these aspects of a character into the campaign, usually by asking for the players to write up a character backstory which they will use to develop character-specific plot hooks. Sometimes that doesn't work so well though. Either a player doesn't know what to write about or the player writes a short novella about the character's past which, while interesting, doesn't always provide the GM with useful information to create plot hooks for the character's future in the campaign.
So I've developed "The Quick and Easy Character Background," a system-neutral, double-sided paper with five steps to help a player create a character backstory that makes it easy to create good adventure hooks that the GM can use. You can download the complete PDF here. The questions are simple and ask about:
- The character's background and concept
- A goal the character has and the goal the player has for the character
- Two secrets about the character: one the character knows and one that involves the character, but they do not know (and there's a note that the GM may be creating a third secret that neither the player nor the character know)
- Three people tied to the character, two friendly, one unfriendly, and an optional nemesis
- Three memories that the character has in order to provide some context and flavor
I've had my players use this for several campaigns, especially Savage Worlds and Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and I've had good results with it. For instance, I once ran an Indiana-Jones style pulp campaign and one of the players had written that they had a mother was traveling the world. So I had a session where his mother guest starred as a companion character. Momma Laros didn't have any combat skills, but she could taunt and intimidate like only an old lady can and she instantly became a hit among the players.
The "secrets" section is especially fun for the GM. In a Star Wars game I ran, a player wrote that his character's secret was that his character was a Jedi. He also wrote that the character didn't know that his father, who was a Jedi too, was killed by Darth Vader. So the secret that I created that neither the character nor the player knew was that Darth Vader had recruited his father as a potential apprentice. The player's reaction when it was revealed was priceless!
This handout is useful for any setting, but sometimes you need one that is more focused. Last spring I ran Daring Entertainment's War of the Dead, a zombie apocalypse campaign, and created a simplified version for that campaign, which you can download here. This one removes the "secrets" section because there wasn't much opportunity to explore them in the premade campaign, and I asked questions that were more specific to a zombie apocalypse, like who your character would miss.
I'd like to give credit where it's due and say that this handout was based off of questions created by D&D forums user "The_Stray" in this topic, which in turn was adapted from the Minimus RPG. To keep the sharing going, I'm releasing both documents under the Creative Commons Share-Alike License 3.0, which allows you to freely distribute and adapt them, so long as you make it clear that any revision is based on my work and those who came before it.
I hope you all find this useful. Please let me know well it works for you and your campaigns!
