Dear VolunTutor,
We are glad you have a heart for street kids! This program has been going on since 2008 and since then, the children's grades have gone up, they are more confident, take care of themselves more and we also have no school dropouts as time goes by! You don't know how important your time is with them!
WHO WILL WE TUTOR: The household boys of He Cares Foundation. They are trying to maintain a certain grade average to remain in the program. They live with the foundation because their parents cannot care for them.
WHAT: We will teach basic English and Math. We will have materials that we can use to practice their skills (books, worksheets, etc) and we will make learning fun!
WHY: Our goal is to encourage the children to stay in school and to build their confidence that they can do it. Many of them are really smart and talented but they face tremendous challenges due to their environment, preventing them to even want to continue schooling.
HOW: We will help you with the different ways to tutor the child. From playing the dictionary game, to spelling, to multiplication drills. Please watch this online orientation video
so you can start right away.
WHERE: He Cares Mission Building, 9 Mines St. Proj.6, Quezon City (Please look for Cathy)
THINGS TO BRING: - bring water, you might get thirsty! - snacks to share with kids and volunteers (optional) - ballpen and scratch paper - just some enthusiasm!!! - OPTIONAL: If you have wifi that would help a lot for questions we can't answer but someone else's can be borrowed in case you don't have :)

text: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 APTA Discusses Collaboration Opportunities With Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physicians A meeting last Thursday between leaders from APTA and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) outlined areas of mutual interest that may lead to collaboration on common issues. The meeting with AAPM&R, a national society representing more than 8,000 physicians who are specialists in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, included discussions on a wide range of issues, including the need to advocate for expanded research on rehabilitation and disability; initiatives to reform the payment system for outpatient physical therapy; concerns over bundling of acute and post-acute care payment; the Medicare sustainable growth rate formula and the future of quality initiatives for rehabilitation. "I was very pleased with the discussions between our organizations and the ideas brought forth for future collaboration on the issues of importance to our members and to the broader health care community," said APTA President R. Scott Ward, PT, PhD. "I look forward to further interactions and productive results." In addition to Ward, other APTA representatives at the meeting were: Paul Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS, vice president; Kevin L. Hulsey, PT, DPT, MA, Board member and chair, Government Affairs Committee; John D. Barnes, CEO; and Justin Moore, PT, vice president, Government and Payment Advocacy. Representing AAPM&R were: Michael F. Lupinacci, MD, president; David L. Bagnall, MD, president-elect; Alberto Esquenazi, MD, vice president; Gregory M. Worsowicz, MD, MBA, chair, Quality Practice and Policy Committee; Thomas Stautzenbach, CAE, MBA, MA, executive director; and Peter W. Thomas, JD, AAPM&R Washington representative. Comments Thank you APTA for looking at this potential collaboration and making strides toward strengthening our future through it. This is a logical step which, if achieved, will add volume to through our collective "voice" on Capitol Hill!! Posted by Scott Donnelly on 4/15/2011 3:03 PM I don't know if it is just me but I find PM&R physicians (eg: physiatrists) the most prescriptive of all the non-surgical physicians. Generally, a physiatrist's script will read like a laundry list of modalities and technical jargon (eg: muscle-energy technique). That being said, I have made some close collegial relationships with physiatrists who, when we discuss strategy and patient management, become less prescriptive and more trusting of physical therapist management of their patients. Tim Posted by Tim Richardson, PT on 4/16/2011 11:49 AM This step is the right step towards a better rehabilitation outcome for the seniors and the most suffering patients. This will bring better results of outcome in pain management and other rehabilitating needs of the right candidates. Posted by davis v on 4/16/2011 12:57 PM This sounds like a great bridge to build and strengthen. It would be good to hear more about how to best approach the upcoming bundling issues. Posted by Robin Schoenfeld on 4/18/2011 12:26 AM There is strength in numbers, and professional collaboration is a chance to educate MD's as partners in care management one physician at a time. This has potential for collective good for our profession and the patients we serve. Posted by Ron Schmidt PT on 4/19/2011 9:11 AM

What causes those nasty hangnails?
We have all experienced them at some point in time. Those little bits of skin around the cuticle, that are so unsightly and irritating. They are so annoying that we want to pick at them, rub them, maybe even cut them off hoping to get rid of the unattractive look they give our nails and hands. Not to mention the fact that they completely ruin a lovely, well-done manicure. Those dreaded hangnails!
Hangnails cause soreness and irritation.
What actually causes hangnails has a lot to do with what you do to your cuticles. Over-stimulation of your cuticles causes them to grow down your nails. Yes, that's right. ANY kind of massaging or rubbing of products into your cuticles will result in dry, cracked cuticles, and they will go into over-drive trying to repair themselves, thus growing down your nail.
A great example of how dry, cracked, irritated cuticles take away from the appearance of your nails.
Many of us have purchased cuticle oils that instruct you to rub them in. If you are using T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner – this is a huge NO-NO. We try to tell all our customers that only by leaving your cuticles alone, which means absolutely no massaging, rubbing, cutting or clipping of the cuticles or hangnails, will it be possible for your poor cuticles to actually recede naturally.
The problem is that people don't realize what cuticle stimulation is. Recently I embarked on a extensive spring cleaning weekend. In doing so I banged, bumped, snagged and ultimately damaged my cuticles by not wearing gloves. This was only the case on my right hand; my left hand was fine. Upon realizing how hard I was on my cuticles – using harsh chemicals, having my hands in water a lot and not wearing gloves – I was mortified (but not entirely surprised!) to see how irritated, dried out, cracked, torn they looked. It has taken me the better part of 10 days to get them back in good shape again, thanks to T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner.
My nails after treating them daily with T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner. I wish I had taken a before picture to show you how banged up they looked post spring cleaning!
Many people may stimulate their cuticles in other ways – for example, some have an unconscious habit of rubbing one finger against the other when sitting in front of the computer or while watching T.V. You can also stimulate your cuticle by reaching into your purse and scratching it along an inner zipper. You may have a hobby which causes havoc to your cuticles, such as gardening.
Whatever the case may be: it is imperative that you ALWAYS leave your cuticles alone. NEVER cut or clip your hangnails, NEVER rub in any kind of hand cream/lotion, NEVER pick at your bothersome hangnails, NEVER massage in any product to your cuticles!!! If you have a terrible hangnail put a bandage over the area for a few days and it will eventually go away. By tampering with the hangnail, you will be right back at square one again. In addition, take note of your daily activities to find out how you are stimulating your cuticles, because hangnails = too much cuticle stimulation! That's a fact. So, if you want to get rid of those ugly, sore hangnails, leave your cuticles alone at all times.
One of the BARE NAKED NAIL CHALLENGE participants sent me her progress report yesterday:
Hi Lisa: Here are pics of Week 4 using TIPS Nail Conditioner. I find increased nail growth, have to clip my nails more frequently. I faithfully apply it every morning before my nails are in water. Big problem with my nails is chipping or they flake at nail tip, but that has improved. I use Skin Conditioning Milk in evenings around cuticles and seems to help with hangnails. I hope continued use will see nails get harder. Loving the product. Thanks for the opportunity to try product. Will keep you posted, Tracey.
My advice for Tracey is to file the ends in order to seal them with the Contour Nail File by ASK Cosmetics. This has helped several other participants (see Sarah of "The Beautiful Lagoon" as an example) to get rid of peeling, flaking ends and promote longer, stronger nail growth. Moreover, follow the instructions mentioned above concerning cuticles and hangnails. Leaving them completely alone is the only solution.Another participant in the challenge passed on her progress update:
Good day Lisa, Time to report in again. I just finished week 8 and things are looking good , ridges are improving and can't wait for them to improve more. Still having a bit of trouble with my cuticles, but have been using the product religiously. I am excited to see what week 9 will bring.
My advice for Betsy is to avoid any cuticle stimulation whatsoever. Cuticles become dry and cracked, either due to lack of hydration and lipids (which isn't the case here as Betsy is applying T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner faithfully) OR because of over-stimulation – rubbing the product in, massaging in hand lotions, cutting or clipping them. All of these things are huge NO-NO's if using T.I.P.S. Nail Conditioner, or any products for that matter. Be aware of what you are exposing your cuticles to, as it may be an unconscious action that stimulates them.
Thanks for stopping in and reading my blog. If you are interested in entering a nail challenge in the future, please contact me and I will put your nail on the list. We are always looking for people who would like to improve the look, texture and growth of their nails. You can reach me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
What do your cuticles look like? All comments welcome.

Shelter in Place
Would you know what to do if a dangerous chemical is released or spilled in your neighborhood or near your work site?
Hazardous chemicals are all around us. They are used in factories and on farms, and are transported on our highways and rail lines. They can be solids, liquids or gases. While some can be seen and smelled, others may be invisible or odor free.
If a hazardous chemical is spilled or released into the air — either accidentally or with criminal intent — you may need to take protective actions until the spill is cleaned up or the gas cloud blows away.
In situations that require sheltering in place, you will be notified by the authorities in your community. You may hear an explosion, see a smoke or vapor cloud, or notice an unusual smell.
Listen to local TV and radio news broadcasts, or your NOAA all-hazards weather radio for instructions. If you are told to shelter in place, take action immediately.
- Go inside.
- Close and lock all doors and windows.
- Shut off any heating or cooling systems and close fireplace dampers.
- Gather people and pets in your shelter room and seal windows, doors and vents.
- Keep listening to radio or TV for an "all clear" or further instructions.

The requirements were updated in 2009, these requirements are out of date.
although still available, is no longer under development. It's replacement package is called KompoZer, which shares much of the same source code as NVU, but had been updated to current coding standards.
Requirement 9.a.
I have concerns about the wording of requirement 9.a. It gives the impression that it is always wrong to give or receive a copy of a computer program that is protected by copyright.
This is not necessarily true; nearly all open-source software programs are protected by copyright, and they encourage redistribution (i.e. giving copies to friends). For example, not only is it not illegal for me to make a copy of OpenOffice.org and give it to a friend, it would be encouraged by OpenOffice.org and Sun Microsystems (the copyright holder).
The requirement should be that scouts should not accept free copies of copyrighted software if redistribution is restricted. Are others simply adhering strictly to the requirement or going further and explaining it correctly to scouts? --Mryan 20:03, February 6, 2008 (EST)
- I respectfully disagree. There are various types of copyrights and terms-of-usage. OpenOffice is licensed under GPL (Gnu Public License) and other packages fall under Apache or Mozilla Public License agreements, etc. Open source projects are hence deliberately not covered by conventional copyrights precisely in order to avoid this conflict and make this specific distinction. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjk (talk • contribs) 12:59, October 15, 2009.

VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen last week acknowledged the city could not keep up with this winter's near-record snowfall, but defended the efforts of the city's public works department.
Mayor Michael Daniels said at the March 22 city council meeting that he was particularly upset about abuse public works employees had received from some residents despite what he called the employees' tireless efforts.

by Fred P. Gusoff
She was a trailblazer whose talent and determination enabled her to hit the high note of equality, making local and national history in the process.
Edna Phillips, the first female member of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the first woman to hold a principal position in any major orchestra in America, gets top billing in a just-released biography that takes an inside look at the woman known as The Orchestra's First Lady.
"I knew Edna very well. We worked together a lot. We were good friends," said Mary Sue Welsh, a longtime Chestnut Hill resident and former English teacher whose book, "One Woman in a Hundred" (University of Illinois Press, 2013), pays tribute to Phillips, a harpist extraordinaire.
Phillips played with the orchestra from 1930 to '46. Her base salary was about $90 — not bad for that time. The orchestra played only 35 weeks a year, October through May.
"They had a short season," said Welsh, who explained that orchestra players supplemented their income by performing at summer concerts at the Robin Hood Dell and other venues.
When Phillips joined the orchestra, she felt hostility directed at her by some of the men, but she persevered, Welsh said, and she "used her wits" to turn back advances from some of them, including longtime conductors Leopold Stokowski and Eugene Ormandy, who worked together for many years.
In the book, Phillips says she had to put a stop to rumors than she and Ormandy were having an affair while Phillips' husband was overseas in the military, and she even refers to Ormandy as a "worm."
As for Ormandy's co-maestro, "he was quite a womanizer," Welsh said of Stokowski, whom she described as "aloof," like many conductors.
"He became a very good friend of Edna's," she added. "He was a great, great conductor, full of great ideas. Stokowski was a very hard taskmaster. He just expected perfection and wasn't going to put up with anything less than that."
Though Phillips "was not a goody two shoes," the author said, she had been happily married during her time at the orchestra and insisted that she did not "give in" to the overtures from her male colleagues.
"She had a very professional working relationship with the players," Welsh said. "They were musicians working together."
Phillips, whose husband, Sam Rosenbaum, was a lawyer and member of the orchestra's board of directors, was born in Reading, Pa., but she was no stranger to Northwest Philadelphia, having lived on School House Lane in East Falls and then Cathedral Village in Roxborough.
"She'd been all around Chestnut Hill," Welsh said.
Welsh's chronicle of the life and times of Edna Phillips actually did not begin as a book. She began working with Phillips on her memoirs around 1990. They had completed the first three chapters when Phillips became ill. She had a series of strokes and died in 2003 at age 96.
"After she died, I knew this was such an important story," Welsh said. "I didn't want to just let it go."
So, the Chestnut Hill resident took to the orchestra's archives to conduct more research of Phillips' life. She also interviewed orchestra staff, then got down to the business of working on the biography. It took her seven or eight years to finally get it done.
"I'm a slowpoke," she said, explaining that she had to sort through all of her notes and other material before completing the book — it's her first — and then she had to find a publisher.
Welsh, who is 72, said Phillips was lively and fun, and felt free to reveal details about people because they had since passed on.
"She was very frank," Welsh noted.
In the book, Welsh writes of Phillips' early days: "A woman's chances of being hired by a professional orchestra were slim, so slim that no woman other than Phillips held a principal position in any of the major U.S. orchestras in 1930."
What was the most difficult part of putting the pieces of the book all together?
"Overcoming my own writer's block," said Welsh, a former English teacher at Chestnut Hill College who once worked at Lippincott publishing house and served as a reporter and copy editor at The Local in the 1990s. She earned a bachelor's degree at Northwestern University and a master's degree at Villanova.
Welsh and Phillips both worked at the Bach Festival in Chestnut Hill; Welsh was executive director, and Phillips was chairwoman of the board of directors.
Though she plays the piano, Welsh said she is not a musician, but she has a subscription series to the orchestra and attends about eight shows a year.
While there was just one woman member of the Philadelphia Orchestra when Phillips broke in — hence the title of Welsh's book — women fill about one-third of the slots in today's orchestra.
Welsh said she visited Phillips during the last year of her life. "She was very brave and strong," Welsh said. "She worked all the time."
Mary Sue Welsh will join Elizabeth Hainen, principal harpist for the orchestra, at a launch party at the Woodmere Art Museum, 9201 Germantown Avenue, on Sunday, March 10, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Chestnut Hill Committee for the Philadelphia Orchestra.

At a time when TV channels around the world were saturated with horrific images of war, death and destruction from Gaza, BBC Four last week offered viewers a very different view of the Middle East when it screened the first part of the series "Science and Islam". The three-part series explores the contribution of early Islam to the development of scientific knowledge.
The legacy of Arab science is still apparent in the English language in words such as algebra, algorithm and alkali, which are "at the very heart of what science does," says the presenter of the series, Professor Jim Al-Khalili. "There would be no modern mathematics or physics without algebra, no computers without algorithm and no chemistry without alkalis." But surprisingly few people in the West today – even scientists – are aware of this medieval Islamic legacy.
Professor Al-Khalili, a nuclear physicist, was born in Baghdad in 1962 to an Iraqi father and English mother. By the time his family left Iraq in the late 1970s, "science was already my great passion in life. As I studied it further I saw myself fully part of the Western tradition, inspired by names like Newton and Einstein".
But he had a nagging feeling he was ignoring part of his own scientific heritage. "I still remembered my schooldays in Iraq and being taught of a golden age of Islamic scholarship – that between the ninth and twelfth centuries a great leap in scientific knowledge took place in Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo and Cordoba."
In "Science and Islam" Al-Khalili unearths this buried history, and assesses the contribution of its great figures to science. He wanted to answer the question: "Are there medieval Muslim scientists who should be spoken of in the same breath as Galileo or Newton or Einstein?" His series suggests that the answer is a resounding yes.
As an example, Isaac Newton (1643-1727) is regarded as the father of modern optics, but according to Al-Khalili "Newton himself stood on the shoulders of a giant who had lived 700 years earlier." That giant was Al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham born in 965 in what is now Iraq. He was the first scientist to give a correct account of how the eye sees objects, and his use of mathematics to describe and prove the process makes him makes him, in Al-Khalili's opinion, the first theoretical physicist. Al-Khalili says Ibn al-Haytham was also the first to arrive at the modern scientific method, despite this being generally attributed to Francis Bacon and Rene Descartes early in the 17th century.
In the series Al-Khalili travels to Syria, Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, Spain and Italy to uncover the achievements of some of the outstanding figures of medieval Islamic science. He introduces us to a fascinating array of personalities including mathematician Al-Khwarizmi ; physician Abu Sina (Avicenna); astronomer and mathematician Al-Biruni; chemist and physician Al-Razi (Razes) and astronomer Nasir al-Din al-Tusi.
Al-Khalili is Professor of Physics and Professor of Public Engagement in Science at Surrey University. Alongside his scientific activities he has developed a career communicating science to the public through books, articles and broadcasting. He is currently writing a book on the history of Arab science, entitled "The House of Wisdom", to be published by Penguin Books next year.
He is an engaging and energetic presenter, and has a gift for to explaining scientific topics to a lay audience in a lucid manner. He places Muslim scientists within the wider developments of their time, and examines the relationship between Islam and science. By the early eighth century Islamic caliphs ruled a vast territory and they understood that political power and scientific knowledge go hand in hand. There were compelling practical reasons for this, and Islam as a religion also played a central role.
Caliph Abdel Malik Ibn Marwan needed to find a way of administering the vast empire with its mish-mash of languages, and he decided that it should have a uniform language – Arabic . The adoption of Arabic throughout the empire boosted intellectual life, as it meant scholars and scientists from different lands could exchange ideas and debate with one another in a common language.
In addition, a huge "translation movement" was launched, in which scholars made strenuous efforts to find and translate ancient texts. They scoured far-flung libraries for scientific and philosophical manuscripts in languages including Greek, Syriac, Persian and Sanskrit and brought them back for translation into Arabic.
(Picture right: a 1983 Soviet postage stamp marking mathematician Al-Khwarizmi's 1200th anniversary)
Medicine was of enormous importance to scholars and rulers. The third-century Greek physician Galen was translated into Arabic, but Muslim doctors were keen also to draw on the Islamic tradition of medicine and on other traditions such as the Indian and Chinese. Folk healers were of influence, and in the backstreets of Hammamet, Tunisia, Al-Khalili visits the shop of a woman selling a large range of herbs, spices and other ancient cures which are still used today.
"Islam's most tangible contribution to medicine is less in its specific remedies and more in its overarching philosophy," Al Khalili said. "It is after all a religion whose central idea is that we should feel compassion for our fellow humans."
The towering figure in Islamic medicine was the Persian physician Ibn Sina. His multivolume "Canon of Medicine" was the standard medical text worldwide for more than six centuries. Al-Khalili sees Ibn Sina as embodying the synthesis of religion, faith and reason more than any other Islamic scholar.
In Damascus Al-Khalili visits the Al Bimaristan al-Nouri Hospital, built in 1154 during the reign of Noureddin Zanki and now a medical museum. Islamic medical history expert Dr Peter Pormann of Warwick University, England, notes that within the hospital Islam encouraged a high degree of religious tolerance. "The hospital was open to all communities and so you would have Christians, Jews, Muslims and maybe other denominations both as patients and as practitioners," he observes.
Al-Khalili identifies eye surgery as one of the main successes of early Islamic medicine. Physicians developed a range of ophthalmological surgical instruments, and a technique known as couching used to treat cataracts had a success rate of over 60 per cent.
The series is full of interesting insights. It finds that medieval Muslims scholars rather than 19th century Europeans were the first Egyptologists. Al-Khalili interviews an Egyptologist, Dr Okasha al-Daly, who has discovered that the ninth century Iraqi scholar Ibn Wahshiyah decoded ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs eight centuries before Jean-Francois Champollion deciphered the Rosetta Stone. Al-Khalili also highlights the role of Islamic astronomers such as al-Tusi in paving the way for the discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo and Newton.
Al-Khalili says the story of what happened to science in the Islamic world in the eighth and ninth centuries "tells us about the universal truth of science itself". Before Islam, science was scattered across the world. "The scholars of medieval Islam pieced together this giant scientific jigsaw by absorbing knowledge that had originated far beyond their own empire's borders." This great synthesis did not just produce great science. "It showed for the first time that science as an enterprise transcends political borders and religious affiliations. It is a body of knowledge that benefits all humans."

Excellent article on Ibn al-Haytham. If your readers would like to know more about this great man, I invite them to read my recent book, "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist." They can read a sample chapter on my website.

Thanks for that!
Excellent series , keep it up the wonderfull work. Hope to see more contribution of Islamic scholars for science and tehnology for the advancement of human knowledge. This is one of our reason of existance in this world. By looking and studying the phenomenas around us and by understanding , eventually could bring us to our creator Allah s.w.t.
Al khalili betrays his jewish background and labels "arabic" sciences what should be "ISLAMIC" seeing that the civilization was sparked by ISLAM and muslims from all over the world helped make this great scientific human civilization, all lived hapily under its rulership.
Al khalil, the babylonian first temple jew should stop lying.

Indeed, the role of science and mathematics in non-European cultures and those contributions of earlier scientists, mathematicians, and engineers across other civilisations has obtained renewed interest.
With books and documentaries presented such as; The Crest of the Peacock: Non-European Roots of Mathematics by George Gheverghese Joseph, and programs such as Science and Islam presented by Professor Jim Al-Khalili, there is more awareness in trying to build a more complete worldview of how mathematics and science originally developed.
In fact, George Gheverghese even delves into pre-Hellenistic civilisation, and discusses influences of preceding Egyptian and Mesopotamian (Babylonian), on Greek mathematicians before its own seminal developments. I have included below my previous comments discussing the role of science in the Muslim World, and I am aware that there is still plenty more to discuss. It even seems the role of Sinic Civilisation (centred on China and Korea) was overlooked until certain academics took interest such as Joseph Needham, for example please refer to The Genius of China: 3,000 Years of Science, Discovery, and Invention by Robert Temple and Joseph Needham.
Regarding the Golden Age which saw a flourishing of intellectual endeavours in physical sciences, engineering, economics, and mathematics in Persia, Mesopotamia, Andalusia, Sicily, and the Maghrib (North Africa) are prominently featured during this period. However, less is known about the Turkistan (situated mainly over Western China) which had seen the spread of Islam after the Battle of Talas. Technologies such as development of printing occurred, which had early beginnings in Korea. The Koreans had also developed the ingenious Turtle Ships and built observatories.
Also, although the Muslims never managed to replicate the drive as they had during the 8th and 14th centuries, the advances did not grind to a halt. The Turks developed submersibles, (which the American inventor/thinker Benjamin Franklin and Dutch inventors would work on independently). The Çelebi brothers worked on the first human rocket flight. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth would take the concept further with first designs of Multi stage rockets, and rocketry continued to be developed in Ukraine and Russia. Chief Astronomer Taqi al-Din worked on building the great Istanbul Observatory, (which was unfortunately destroyed), and also worked on steam engines, mechanical devices for clocks, and did experiments on light. The scholar Ibrahim Efendi argued for the Heliocentric Model developed by Copernicus (Heliocentric models were initially developed by ancient Indian and Hellenistic scholars). Piri Reis worked on one of the earliest attempts of creating a world map, and the Turks even developed hospitals and did work on surgery.
In India, the Hindu, Muslim, Jain, and Buddhist astronomers and mathematics used Vedic and Islamic sources to build observational observatories. After the Mughal Empire sundered, this work was carried out by successor princely states. The most famous is Jai Singh's observatory Jantar Mantar in Delhi. In the south of India the Hindus continued their development of mathematics in Kerala, including discovering Trigonometric identities and work on Calculus. Personally I found Calculus quite a tricky subject but that is another thing …
The Sultan of Mysore in the 1700's saw development of rocket technology, and expert ship builders. The Maratha Confederacy, who succeeded the Mughals also developed a navy capable of contending with the Portuguese, Dutch, and late comers the lesser known English at the time.
Arguably Ming China in the 1400's had the most powerful fleet, but after the threat of land invasions from northern dynasties such as the Manchu, the Ming dynasty turned their efforts away from maritime activities and let the initiative pass. However, there was technology transfer to and from China and various European explorers, via Catholic missions. The Japanese developed their own brand of mathematics called 'Wasan' and mathematicians such as Seki Kowa developed theorems in Calculus. The Muslims did not replicate the Golden Age of the Umayyad or Abbasid period, but Muslims (and their non-Muslim counterparts in Asia and Africa) did not stop material and scientific progress. During the 1800's we see a profound dominance from Europe, especially as the shift left the Mediterranean to Northern Europe. After the 1750's we see the great Mathematicians like Leonard Euler and Carl Frederic Gauss, and eventually giving way to the scientific revolution of the 1800's and paving the way for modern mathematics/physics. The rest is all A-Levels!
Sadly it seems the negative attitude to science or even the earlier heritage in art, culture, and civilisation is lacking amongst many Muslim societies, as an awareness and interest has not been developed for a log time. India since independence continued to develop its education system and also created its own space program. Indian scientist made their important contributions and Indians were taught about their scientific and intellectual heritage as well as being encouraged into learning and academic development. This aspect is sadly lacking amongst Muslims generally, or indeed an interest to reignite a passion for learning and technology, and furthermore developing a strong base within Muslim countries.
Clearly Latin American countries like Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, and Chile attempted self development, as did other countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. South Korea has even produced Nobel prize scientists, so along with their heritage, they are also building a new heritage in the current era independently as Japan has done.
Clearly more research needs to be done for each of these periods. I have just pieced some ideas together. This was rushed so I hope it reads okay.
Here is a nice site:-
Let's not forget that Jim al-Khalili is a scientist before he is an historian.
Not sure that the respondent calling himself Hamadani realises the very positive intentions behind the series.
I have loved watching both series by Jim (the atom & chaos) but when trying to find some information regarding these series happened to stumble on a larger the life mention of islam. During such instability as there is a the moment can someone as intelligent as Jim have to bring religion again into it, it is not necessary and so incredibly disappointing. This has totally changed my opinion of Jim.

How to Get Rid of Acne and Acne Scars
Natural Tips To Get Rid of Your Acne & Acne Scars Fast: (Step by Step)
Acne is tough stuff. Not only is it physically unattractive, troublesome and sometimes even painful ask anyone who deals with it on a regular basis; it can be emotionally distressing as well. It's hard to feel good about yourself when your skin – in your mind at least – looks terrible. The good news is that there are a lot of treatments out there that really can help solve an acne problem. The even better news is that many of them are very effective but don't involve harsh chemicals. The best news of all is that here we are going to explore them, getting you on the way to finding a more holistic, natural solution to a very pesky problem.
Acne 101: What is It and Why Does it Happen to You?
Although you may sometimes feel alone in your battle against acne, especially in a sea of seemingly perfect faces, you are not. Acne is a very common condition that can affect anyone. Although it is especially common in tweens and teens it can strike at any age, meaning that having acne appear long after you leave your teens is not unusual either.
Acne itself is primarily the result of clogged pores. Pores that become blocked by excess oils, dirt, dead skin cells and bacteria. There are numerous ways that it manifests itself – whiteheads, blackheads, oozy pimples and more – but the root cause is usually the same. Hormone changes, stress, a poor diet, a lack of sleep and even certain medications can also add to the problem as well.
As you do only have one skin (the cells replenish but the 'base' remains the same) it's understandable, and important, that you want to take care of it the best way possible, while also looking your best. You don't want to waste money on expensive pills and potions that might not even work or put your skin at greater risk with harsh chemicals.
Want to learn about tried and tested, real world ways to get rid of acne that are all natural and have worked for thousands of people of all ages? Then read on.
Here's The 12 Easiest, Fastest, and Cheapest Ways to Get Rid of your Acne & Acne Scars:
1. Harness the Sweet Power of Cinnamon and Honey
Did you know that honey has powerful natural antibacterial properties? Or that it is full of skin saving antioxidants? Or that cinnamon is a natural antiseptic that is also a fantastic redness reducer? And it can even help dry out pesky pimples fast? Well it's all true and so making a mask that combines the two to battle acne only makes sense.
To make your mask you'll need to combine honey (preferably raw honey) and cinnamon powder into a loose, slightly sticky paste. Just how much of your basic ingredients you'll need depends largely upon the size of the area you want to treat. For a full face application though three to four tablespoons of cinnamon and then a similar amount of honey should be just right.
After mixing the ingredients into a smooth paste it should be applied gently, either all over the face or on affected areas only (it's your choice) allowed to dry and then left on overnight to do its work. Rinse it off thoroughly with warm water in the morning; add a good oil free moisturizer and you'll be good to go.
For the best results, you should only make use of this sweet and spicy mask once or twice a week, to avoid over-drying the skin, something that can, in some cases, can actually make acne worse.
2. Combine Egg Whites and Lemon Juice
Egg whites are good for a lot more than just making a great omelet. It's actually a natural fluid that contains tons of skin saving vitamins, lots of proteins and ample amounts of amino acids, all of which nourishes your skin and helps it heal and rejuvenate itself. Egg whites also pack one more powerful weapon that can be used in the fight against acne; an enzyme called Lysozome which can effectively kill off the bacteria that causes it.
The power of egg whites is boosted though, when you mix it with a little lemon juice. Lemon juice not only brings skin loving Vitamin C into the mix but it is also a natural astringent that can help dry out pimples faster, speeding their healing time.
To make an effective mask using lemon and egg white mix together one egg white (you can save the yolk for cooking) and the juice from half a lemon (or two tablespoons of lemon juice) in a bowl. Beat the egg until slightly frothy then add lemon juice. Don't beat too much though or you'll end up with meringue!
Apply the mixture to your face, avoiding your eyes. Leave it on for thirty minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Apply your favorite oil-free moisturizer to finish the treatment off. Repeat a couple of times a week for the very best results.
3. Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar Face Fizz
Baking soda is pretty amazing stuff. It has probably 101 or more great uses including a powerful acne fighting ingredient. In addition to being a great natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, it also helps balance your skin's PH.
Apple Cider Vinegar is possibly even better for acne prone skin. It helps to unclog pores, protect skin from free radical damage and helps slow the growth of acne causing bacteria. So it all stands to reason that if you mix the two you'll probably be on to a very good thing.
To make a great – and cheap – acne mask using these powerful ingredients combine 3 tablespoons of baking soda with two of apple cider vinegar. Once you have a nice smooth paste apply the mixture to your face and leave on for 20 minutes or until the mask dries. Rinse off with lukewarm water and then finish of the process with a good moisturizer.
4. Tame Acne with Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil – which yes, comes from the Australian tea tree – is both a great antiseptic and a great antifungal agent and has become known as a great acne fighter. Many feel it's just as effective as chemical treatments like benzoyl peroxide, just a lot less harsh on the skin.
To use tea tree oil to fight acne apply it to affected areas using a clean cotton ball, especially if you have oily or combination skin as tea tree oil – like benzoyl peroxide – can be a little drying on more sensitive skin.
5. Guzzle Some Green Tea
Green tea has some wonderful health properties in general, as the Chinese have known for millennia, and so adding it to your daily diet is a good idea anyway, but it is an especially bright idea if you suffer from even occasional acne breakouts.
The way that it is believed that green tea helps fight acne specifically is thanks to the very powerful antioxidants it contains. Green tea contains a substance called EGCG, an antioxidant that research has shown is up to 100 more potent than Vitamin C or E when it comes to fighting free radicals.
Why is that important? Free radicals are increasingly being found in higher quantities in polluted air and so they are something that affects your skin every day. It also has hormonal balancing powers. This means that if you opt for brewed green tea, using a tea bag, you can actually get double benefits for your skin.
How? After you have finished drinking your tea take the used tea bag and empty its content into a bowl. Mix it with a little honey to form a paste and then apply it to any areas of acne that need extra help. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse of with lukewarm water.
6. Cool Off Acne with Cucumber and Lemon Juice
We have already discussed how wonderful lemon juice is for your skin if it is acne prone and how great it can be as a mask when mixed with simple baking soda. If you mix it with another natural wonder though – cucumber – using it as a very effective toner is a great option too.
Cucumber juice is probably something you've actually seen as an ingredient in many store bought toners and for good reason. It cools redness (literally) softens skin and can even, when used regularly, help diminish the appearance of acne scars. To use it as a toner combine 1 tablespoon of cucumber juice with one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply it to the face with a clean cotton ball, allow to sit for a few minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Lemon juice reduces the appearance of acne scars and other dark marks.
This is a quite strongly astringent toner so making use of it once or twice a week should be enough to get good results without over drying your skin.
7. Beautify with a Basil Face Wash
You probably have some basil hanging around your kitchen right now, as it's an herb that adds great flavor to all kinds of dishes. What you may not know however is that it can also be a great skin saver.
Basil actually boasts both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and is packed with antioxidants, Vitamin K and Vitamin D, all of which can help both acne and fine lines and wrinkles as well as helping to lessen the appearance of acne scars.
Basil has been used in Eastern beauty regimes for centuries, but it's really only now that those of us in the Western world are catching up. The most effective way to use it to help fight acne is to use it as a beauty mask.
To create a beauty mask that's most effective you'll need fresh basil leaves. Take 20-30 of them and crush until all of the juice is released. Then combine them with a cup of plain, organic yogurt and a half cup of distilled water. Apply the paste to the face and leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water.
8. Allure with Aloe Vera
Head to any drug store and you'll see a number of different products that make use of this clever little plant. Its essence is added to cleansers and moisturizers, soaps and shampoos and as a sunburn soother aloe vera gel is hard to beat . Some people even drink aloe vera juice 'neat' as it contains a number of essential vitamins and minerals.
You can also, however, use aloe vera juice (you'll find it at most health food stores) as an effective acne treatment. Apply it to the face, leave on for a few minutes and then rinse away. After you're done you could always drink the rest to give yourself an all over health boost too!
9. Apply Apple Cider Vinegar Astringent
Using an astringent after cleansing your face is an effective way to deep clean and unclog pores but many store bought toners and astringents are alcohol based, making them too harsh for daily use. The problem is that the alcohol dries the oil away but it also disturbs the skin's natural acid balance, making it more susceptible to germs, bacteria and free radicals.
Apple cider however is a great, all natural alternative. Applied to the skin using a clean cotton ball after cleansing, it can be used daily without any nasty side effects.
10. Shine with Strawberries
If you are familiar with standard acne treatments which, if you are reading this I am quite sure that you are, then you know that many of them contain salicylic acid. It is effective, but often the products it is used in are just too harsh on the skin.
One great source of natural salicylic acid is the strawberry. It contains it in abundance, along with beneficial antioxidants and phytonutrients. Mix it with honey, whose skin loving qualities we discussed earlier and you have a recipe for skin saving success!
To make a great mask, mash together two to three fresh strawberries and a tablespoon of honey. Apply the mixture to the face, massage it in for a minute or two and then leave on to dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse away with lukewarm water followed by a cold rinse to help close pores to keep out oil and dirt.
11. Pump Up your Pores with Papaya
OK, so we've already learned that both lemon juice and honey for acne can be great for the skin, especially if you are an acne sufferer. But there is one more way you can combine them for even greater effect, this time pumping up the pimple fighting power with a little fresh papaya.
Papaya is a great source of Vitamin A and also of Papain both of which help speed up the skin's natural rejuvenation process.
For the best results grab your blender and blend together ¼ of a papaya, a tablespoon of honey and a half teaspoon of lemon juice and set aside.
Next, steam your face (using a towel and a basin of hot water) for a few minutes to open up your pores. Next, apply the papaya mixture to your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing away with lukewarm water. Not sure what to do with the rest of the papaya? Blend it up with a few ice cubes and it'll make a tasty – and very good for you – juice smoothie!
12. Tame Terrible Skin with Tomato and Garlic
Tomatoes are tasty and useful in so many ways in the kitchen but they can also be great for skin too. They contain both a high level of antioxidants and natural acids that have some powerful exfoliating properties. When you combine them with another kitchen staple, garlic, their power is doubled as that adds both an antibacterial boost and a little extra pore unclogging power.
And yes, this will be slightly stinky, but it's worth it if you have acne prone skin. Blend together half a standard tomato and 3-4 cloves of raw garlic in your blender and then apply the mixture to the face. Leave on for 15 – 20 minutes and then rinse off. To get rid of the garlic smell rinse again with a little lemon juice added to the water.
Quick Tips to Prevent Acne and reduce the appearance of Acne Scars
- Whenever possible, when you are using these great home remedies make use of fresh, organic ingredients.
- Make an effort to drink your eight glasses of water a day. This will help keep your skin clear but it will also improve your health in general and if you are trying to lose weight it helps a lot.
- The old wives tale that chocolate causes acne was disproved years ago, but sodas and sugary snacks won't help you to maintain a clearer complexion. Plus cutting back on such things is great for your health anyway, so now is the time to do it.
- Many of these home acne treatments should be followed by the application of an oil-free moisturizer. Make sure that the one you choose has SPF protection as well though, as that will help protect your skin from sun damage, something that is essential and yet still too often overlooked.
- Get more sleep. A lack of sleep has been shown to cause all kinds of health problems, including stress. And stress shows on the skin, often in the form of acne breakouts. Adults need at least 7-8 hours of sleep a day so set your alarm clock accordingly tonight.
- For any Over the counter acne treatment products, avoid the ones that can dry up and damage your skin such as Proactive (Proactive Plus), Clinique Acne Solutions and other like it did mine, instead try acne treatments that help you build a better tolerance such as Exposed Skin Care or ZenMed Derma Cleanse Acne Treatment .

How do we manage the environment without compromising efforts to reduce poverty?
I always say, environmental management is woven into something bigger, much bigger than simply saying "Let's do some good, let's not pollute." For me, it's a question of how we encourage the development boom underway in Africa today, while still keeping our eyes focused on environmental management.
In the World Bank's Africa Region, we are working on the belief that we can find a way to support sustainable development that combines the least amount of environmental damage with the best desirable outcome possible. Put simply, we can "green" growth and make it more inclusive.
The way to do this is to weave environment into all development programs. We believe that development is key to reducing poverty and improving livelihoods in Africa.
For example, let's say that you are planning to build a really big road going through a national park. This is an opportunity for all stakeholders, government officials, community members, donors, NGOs, and others to gather and ask themselves not just how this road will improve economic growth, but what is the future of this national park? Will this road provide poachers with new access to pristine woodlands and endangered wildlife?
In a new report, "Enhancing Competitiveness and Resilience in Africa [1]", we lay out a new approach to environmental management that makes it the core of everything we do. This means that when we think about a project or program in any sector, we also think about how it will impact the environment.
And to do this, our partners – the African Development Bank, WWF, hundreds of NGOs, civil society and the private sector, are as important as the governments we work with.
Sustainable development and environmental management is a lofty goal, but a goal that is attainable.

The Best Movies Of 2014 By Genre
12.25.2014 | By Jack Rico | No Comments">No Comments
For the second straight year, I thought of making "The Best Movies Of 2014… By Genre". Unlike most Top 10 lists you see this time of year from some websites or critics, I use a list that allows you to reference movies by your mood. In other words, if you're feeling like laughing or snuggling up with someone, you can check our top movie in comedy or romance, etc. I believe these guides are much more to the point of the movie viewing experience. So let's get to it!
