Working with wood to create sculptures is an ancient practice. Complete examples of English wood sculptures from the 16th and 17th centuries still survive. Artists today create works from wood, as well, and call upon the rich art history surrounding this tradition. Many of these artists have become well known and highly sought after.

Andrew Frost
Contemporary artist Andrew Frost creates works from abandoned tree trunks, using a chainsaw to carve out mystical figures deeply entrenched in English folklore, including the Green Man. His work can be seen at Fulham Palace in London, as well at the Crich Tramway Museum in Derbyshire.
Grinling Gibbons
Grinling Gibbons, who worked in the late 17th century, was perhaps the most famous English wood sculptor and was known as the king's sculptor. He was often employed to create architectural carvings, including those in the dining room of Windsor Castle and the library at Trinity College in Cambridge. He liked to include a carving of a pea pod in his sculptures, and focused mainly on religious subject matter.
Much of Gibbons' work can still be seen in churches throughout England including St. Paul's Cathedral in London, where he is buried.
Advent Hunstone
Known for combining natural, representational and symbolic materials in his sculptures, Advent Hunstone, or "Old Advent," was the most well known of a family of wood carvers. Working in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Advent's most famous sculptures are perhaps the organ case and screen he created for his church, St. John the Baptist, in Tideswell.
Bill Prickett
Bill Prickett, considered one of England's most talented contemporary wood carvers, displays extensive woodworking skills, bringing to life sculptures of birds and animals. He often works in lime wood, using it for its interesting grain and ability to take detail. His work is delicate and intricate.
Prickett's sculptures have won prizes, and have been in exhibits including the Pensthorpe National Wildlife Carving and Sculpture Exhibition. He's even sold work through Christie's fine art auction house.
Ian G. Brennan
Ian G. Brennan is another important contemporary wood sculptor from England. He creates realistic sculptures and has been commissioned to do work for Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral. His works have been added to private collections around the world.
Henry Moore
Henry Moore was an important sculptor in the 20th century who was known for his large-scale abstract sculptures. Moore's sculptures played with surrealism and modern art. He was a key figure in introducing modernism to the United Kingdom. His sculptures often reflected female bodies, and contained hollow spaces. He typically worked in wood, marble and bronze.
Moore became a highly sought after artist and completed numerous commissions, acquiring significant wealth. Concerned about his legacy later in life, he created the Henry Moore Foundation, which promotes public appreciation of the arts and runs his former home as a museum of his work. Moore died in 1986.

33 weeks and my baby is a GIANT... I am scared!
This morning I had an ultrasound done because apparently I was measuring 3.5 weeks bigger than what I should be. I am 33 weeks with my first son :)
The doc called me this afternoon and told me the ultrasound showed no abnormalities, just a big baby. He is about 6 lbs and in the 96th percentile for length and weight. (normal weight at 33 wks is about 4 lbs)
I have to have another ultrasound done in 3 weeks when I am 36 weeks to check again where we are at. And no I don't have gestational diabetes or anything that would cause him to be this big already.
Me and my vagina are scared!
Anyone else ever experience this??
In my 2nd trimester I was measuring big all the time. Not once did my doctor say my DD was gonna be big but she was she was 11 pounds 7 oz. My friend used the same doctor she had the same thing go on with her he told her she was having a big baby, little guy was 7-8 pounds. My sister was told her DD was measuring 10 plus, she was born weighing 8 pounds.
I had my DD by C-Section because the day they were going to induce me the ultrasound showed she was 11 pounds, my doctor told me I couldn't have such a large baby. His disbelief that my dd was so huge caused him to rip my incision pulling her out. The doctor had my DD's head, his foot propped up on the surgery table and was yanking her by the head to get her out. When my hubby told me I was so afraid he was going to hurt my baby girl. Anyway here is a pic of my big baby girl when she was born 3 years ago.
My lo was born at 33 weeks and was 5lb 4oz

I love teaching and helping students develop their particular skills and interests.It is always good to see people on their way to achieving their goals and enjoying their work. My special passions are reading and writing, drama and media. I have written, and been involved in, the production of award-winning audio study guides for public exam. students in the UK and abroad.
I have wide experience in Independent and State (Selective and Comprehensive) schools and of one-to-one work with tutees at all stages, from young people negotiating the educational system to adults returning to study. As a former Head of Sixth Form, I am familiar with requirements and selection for universities.I concentrate on public exam work, A/L and university leveI, regularly teach the syllabuses of all the exam boards in England and have a lot of experience as an Examiner. I don't offer tuition below Year 10. Most of my work comes from the recommendations of past tutees and parents and I have many references available. Because of my commitments, I have been off-line for two years but now have a few spaces to offer again.
My approach is friendly and sympathetic but focused, keeping the demands of the student's course in mind. Besides working on specific assignments and building understanding through discussion, students need the opportunity to ask questions, revisit points and clarify their thoughts. I know that the demands of large teaching groups and tight time restrictions make this difficult to achieve all the time for everyone in school, so I am flexible about the pace and direction of study, matching it to the individual. Tuition is a supplement to, not a substitute for, school or college teaching and so can offer broader knowledge and understanding of topics. When appropriate, looking at texts in their literary context, beyond syllabus confines, is invaluable, especially for students aiming at the highest grades. Whether students need general guidance with texts or specific concentration on exam technique, all work is more enjoyable and progress easier when problem areas are smoothed!.

1 Mission St. (at Steuart)
San Francisco
Tel. (415) 543-6084
For the first time in eight years, Boulevard was knocked out of the top slot as the Bay Area's most popular restaurant by the Zagat Survey. Could it be because of the escalating prices? Just last year, the main courses ranged from $24 to $35; this year they start at $32 and rise to $42. Appetizers, too, are costly - a simple salad is more than $12, and they go up from there. But what diners get for their money is Nancy Oakes' creative take on American food. Pat Kuleto designed the bustling interior, which incorporates industrial and Belle Epoque details with an open kitchen and counter seating, perfect for drop-in diners.
Specialties: Tuna tartare; crab cakes; sauteed foie gras; wood ovenroasted meats including lamb; any dessert.

Can Your Diet Help Ease Rheumatoid Arthritis?
In this article
What you put on your plate may help you manage the way RA makes you feel. Food won't cure your disease, but a meal plan like the Mediterranean diet can lower inflammation and control some of your symptoms.
Why the Mediterranean Diet Helps
It's loaded with fruits, veggies, whole grains, healthy fats, beans, and fish. These foods have natural chemicals that help keep your inflammation in check.
Veggies, beans, and whole grains are also healthy because they're high in fiber. Fish is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats. Fatty fish, like salmon, herring, sardines, and anchovies, have the most.
A Mediterranean diet also relies on olive oil, another healthy fat, to take the place of full-fat dairy products like butter. That's good if you have RA, because olive oil can also lower levels of the chemicals that cause inflammation.
The fruits and vegetables in the diet are full of antioxidants that also help curb inflammation. Go for ones that have deep or bright colors, which usually means higher antioxidant levels. Some good choices are blueberries, blackberries, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, oranges, broccoli, and melons.
In one study, women who ate this way for 6 months had less joint pain and morning stiffness, and better overall health, than those who didn't.
To change things up, add some turmeric or ginger. These spices aren't part of the Mediterranean diet, but they naturally lower inflammation. If you take blood thinners, talk to you doctor first, since turmeric can prevent blood from clotting.
Red wine is a classic part of this eating plan, but check with your doctor to see if it's OK for you. If you take methotrexate, you should avoid alcohol because of the chance of liver damage.
Should You Go Gluten-Free?
If you decide to give up gluten, RA shouldn't be the reason. There's no evidence that it can improve the condition or ease your symptoms.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, and in many packaged and restaurant foods. If you have celiac disease and eat gluten, your small intestine gets inflamed, so you can't absorb some nutrients. RA is separate from that, and it has different causes.
If you want to ditch gluten, talk to your doctor or a dietitian for tips so you get all the nutrients you need.

Reviews of this property
The flat was really nice, clean, well furnitured, exactly like in the description, close to many charming breakfast places, bars restaurants.
And the owner was extremly helpful - answered my mails immediately, didn't have any problem with delivering us keys around midnight, picked up our calls whenever we needed sth. Thanks again for nice stay!
I truly recommend the flat to everyone.
Great Flat in the middle of Friedrichshain .. We were surprised and would come back every time !!!
Very nice neighbourhood, close to metro and tram services. The apartment is well equiped and in excellent conditions.
The apartment is beautifully renovated, the 85 steps do not bother really, the environment is getting used to (everywhere Hundekacke on and alongside the paths), metro connection perfect, we were there as a family of 6 nights, we would have been pleased on better beds , the slats should be renewed once, even if a child has carefully laid out flutschen the slats through which sofa is ok for children adult I would not recommend. Kitchen is very sporadically decorated but OK, a Besenset would be desirable. It is being renovated everywhere, but that did not bother us, but the area is doing just fine in a couple of years determined a beautiful corner, the real student life and pubs are approximately 15 - 20 minutes to reach on foot, in the vicinity there are a couple of pubs, but who are not addressed at all. As a family we would the apartment friend (if you do not have high expectations is), for young people definitely recommended.
Die Wohnung ist schön renoviert, die 85 Stufen stören nicht wirklich, die Umgebung ist gewöhnungsbedürftig (überall Hundekacke auf den und neben den Wegen), U-Bahn-Anbindung perfekt, wir waren als Familie 6 Nächte da, wir hätten uns über bessere Betten gefreut, der Lattenrost sollte mal erneuert werden, selbst wenn sich ein Kind vorsichtig darauf gelegt hat, flutschen die Latten durch, die Ausziehcouch ist für Kinder o.k. für Erwachsene würde ich sie nicht empfehlen. Küche ist sehr sporadisch eingerichtet aber i.O., ein Besenset wäre wünschenswert. Es wird überall renoviert, was aber nicht gestört hat, sondern der Umgebung nur gut tut, in ein paar Jahren bestimmt eine schöne Ecke, das richtige Studentenleben und Kneipen sind in ca. 15 - 20 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen, in der Nähe gibt es ein paar Kneipen, die uns aber überhaupt nicht angesprochen haben. Als Familie würden wir die Wohnung weiterempfehlen (wenn man nicht zu hohe Ansprüche stellt), für junge Leute auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.
We were very pleased with the apartment and we did not miss anything. The apartment is well equipped, clean and looks like in the photos. The only downside is that the automatic door opener does not work and you have to walk down from the fourth floor.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der Wohnung und uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, sauber und sieht aus wie auf den Fotos. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass der automatische Türöffner nicht funktioniert und man aus dem vierten OG runterlaufen muss.
The stay was very pleasant. The apartment is beautiful and the landlady is super cute. Highly recommended!
Der Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm. Die Wohnung ist schön und die vermieterin supernett. Nur zu empfehlen!
The apartment is spacious and bright, basically furnished but quite comfortable. There are 2 double sofas in the living room which could allow 6 to stay. However I think that any more than four would be uncomfortable. The kitchen is kitted with the usual, fridge, cooker, microwave ,kettle and toaster. This leaves no worktop to prepare meals if that is a priority.
I had no problem with the flat but it is in an old tenement and the entrance hall is not at all attractive. In keeping with the rest of the area it is covered in graffiti outside, inside it is shabby as are the first two floors. The upper floors have been renovated and the apartment is on the top floor. It is quite a climb.The bar opposite was still operating at full blast at 2.30 am on one of the week nights when I was there,the noise is quite noticeable which may be a plus or minus depending on how much of a party person you are.
Rigaer Str. is an interesting area. It might come as a culture shock to a lot of people. In the part of the street the apartment is in, other dwellings range from new upmarket flats to at least one anarchist squat. It is certainly an area where competing lifestyles co-exist.I think it would be fair to describe it as edgy.
It takes 30 -40 minutes to the main tourist areas in Berlin, but the transport system is excellent. Buying a daily travel pass ( 6 - 7 Euros is a good investment). I ate at 3 local restaurants, They were cheap and not very good.Good bakeries, supermarkets etc nearby and some quirky shops.Overall an apartment for younger people.
The apartment is convenient to the metro (5 minutes walk) and in an area equipped with supermarkets, shops, pubs and restaurants. Inside we found everything we needed for the living room, all utensils and dishes for the kitchen to the dryer and the need for washing clothes. The owner was very friendly and helpful and we had no problem getting an appointment for us to hand over the keys. We would definitely recommend this apartment!
L'appartamento è comodissimo alla metro (5 minuti a piedi) e in una zona fornita di supermercati, negozi, pub e ristoranti.
All'interno abbiamo trovato tutto il necessario per il soggiorno, da tutti gli utensili e stoviglie per la cucina al phon e al necessario per lavare gli indumenti.
La proprietaria è stata molto gentile e disponibile e non abbiamo avuto alcun problema a prendere l'appuntamento per farci consegnare le chiavi.
Consigliamo senza dubbio questo appartamento!
Die Verfahrensweise war sehr unkompliziert. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und ausreichend eingerichtet.
- Quality assured accommodation

It looks like Apple will give iPad owners the next major software upgrade that comes out after you purchase. So those of us that are buying right away will not have to pay to upgrade to 4.0 but we may have to pay for 5.0. Source
By the time 5.0 comes out, Im sure all the early adopters will be ready to buy the next iPad with new hardware features. Shouldn't be an issue.
I still have a gen1 IPOD. What do you mean, not an issue LOL They will have to do what ever updates are necessary to keep the IPAD current with ITUNES store changes. That is why my Apple TVs have been getting free OS upgrades since day 1. And all my various IPODS same thing. They need to be able to buy from the Istore.
There is a difference between iTunes support and something like allowing 3rd party audio streaming (raido) apps to run in the background. Or allowing the iPad to act as a monitor for say the MacMini. Those are the kind of big changes you wouldn't see to older devices as legecy support. Gen1 iPod Touch with iPhoneOS 2.3 or something like that? Well not that it likely matters to you but 3.0 had chinease writen character support added.
Yea I still have my gen1 touch and it works great. Typing on it right now. Hoping they don't make it obsolete too quickly. I'm just focused on "late April"!
It's only for what they consider "major" fw upgrade. On my gen1 touch I think it was $10 for the last major fw update. Smaller ones are free. No big deal.
iPad update not so long time ago , when have update you have to change the device .... just buy a mobile Nokia no update because after 6 month he become obsolete ... or go to Android where they have update but can't be upgrade ...
So what will version 4.0 have? What do you all think? Multi-tasking? or will they push that to iPad 5.0 and force us to pay for the upgrade...with or without multi-tasking the iPad and the iPhone will continue to sell...a lot of folks complain about it, but I still see a lot of folks buying them regardless...it's almost an none issue if you ask me - other than being able to listen to Pandora in the background
I look at it this way. My computer is running on Vista. If I want Windows 7, I have to pay for it. There's a difference between a new operating system and firmware that might fix any bugs.

Bad Boys Lyrics
Artist: April Wine
Album: The Nature Of The Beast
(Myles Goodwyn)
Published by Northern Goody Two Tunes, Ltd./CAPAC - ASCAP
I look out the window, see the fishes get the run-around
I tell the boys I gotta be movin' on
I'm tired of playin' the game, the ending's always the same
Odds are you won't last too long
I can see you, you can't see me
Don't feel shame no more
I'm not here, you're not there
That I know for sure
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys
Left on the street to fend for yourself
You do what you can to get by
The choice is run with the pack
You make a take on the sly
This time I'll go it alone
I'm gonna make good on my own
No more of this foolish pride
I can see you, you can't see me
I don't care no more
I'm not here, you're not there
That I know for sure
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys
Don't wanna be in a cell
Don't wanna end up in hell
I know I don't like what I see
Don't want it to happen to me
I gotta get out of this town
No sense in hanging around
Time I found out what I want to be
Nobody wants to run, and nobody wants to hide
The moment of truth becomes a burning inside
Hey look at me, and you'll see
How I've changed my ways
I'm not there, you're not here
Won't have people say
Bad boys, bad boys
Bad boys, see how they run
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, they call us
Bad boys, see how they run

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
An excellent stay. The hotel is extremely well presented (truly amazing gardens, rooms and views of the mountains) and the staff always very helpful. It's great value for money - my only surprise was that there didn't seem to be that many other guests (not that I'm complaining about that)! The hotel takes some travelling to get to but it is very much worth it - a hidden gem away from the usual tourist areas.
Gorgeous location, beautifully restored country house, with a chapel and nice gardens on the premises. We stayed in the restored stable, which with extremely well done. Also the rate was extremely good value for the money
Not at all commercial, very much a place to 'chill out' and stay within the beautiful grounds and lounge around the pool or well placed for experiencing the historical/culture, cuisine, coast, wine and shopping in Ascoli Piceno or the various outlet centres. Excellent friendly and helpful staff. Other than having to leave and go home, some road noise from the Autostrada traffic which wouldn't put off going back. A truly lovely place.
This is a beautiful hotel, based around a mansion house with lovely gardens, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the room we had is the best we have ever stayed in!
I liked everything. The rooms and grounds were excellent and the staff was extremely helpful, friendly and experienced. nothing
really welcoming and the suite with a little kithen and sitting area would make this a brilliant place as a base to explore central Italy. Pool was beautiful as was the house and gardenNo evening meal choices but you can have what the family eat on the evening of your stay - I think expensive for what we got though. no
The entire hotel staff was courteous and professional . The hotel restaurant was excellent. When we return, we will definitely stay at this hotel again.
Despite our late arrival the staff was very helpful and friendly. Location was very easy to find. Good breakfast.
Nice hotel with helpful staff. Restaurant of the hotel has good choice of typical Italian dishes and some local specialties. Rooms are clean and comfortable with own controlled airco. Free wireless internet is reasonable fast and easy to use.
great hotel for a very good price need to have a car
Beautiful grounds, quiet, excellent breakfast, relaxing, good staff, nice patio off the bedroom, close to good grocery store, free internet, close to beautiful sand beaches and in beautiful hill country. Perfect price!
Friendly staff, nice location and excellant food.
Beautiful hotel, nice rooms, quiet, easy wifi access, very good restaurant.
The staff were very kind and helpful. The Hotel is an old converted Villa. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Very close to the Adriatic coast and beaches (15 minutes), and close to medieval village of Ascoli-Piceno (7 minutes). Wonderful location
Friendly, helpful staff, lovely location and view from balcony, excellent restaurant.
Wonderful Hotel, Spectacular View, Great staff, everything was great None
Fantastic views of the mountains and helpful, friendly and enthusiastic english speaking staff who are interested in and commited to the quality of the food and drink they provide. We ate in the restaurant which was excellent and enjoyed trying the pecorino wine that was suggested.The room was lovely and very well appointed.
We were very surprised to find this excellent hotel+restaurant in a small village in the mountains. Daniele Zunica and his staff gave us some wonderful days and spoiled us with great meals. We will meet again! Johan en Bea Schoenmakers, The Netherlands
Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Incredible views. Also has best restaurant in a very small town and just around the corner from the fort (main attraction). Breakfast was not great, but standard for hotels (coffee plus a sweet roll)
The historical building included many of the original furnishings and the Breakfast included a wide variety of homemade preserves and pastries. We had to wait around an hour for someone to come and let us into the facility and were granted a discount on the room rate by way of apology.
Super old building, run by charming friendly couple. Coped well with food allergy of one of party. Good breakfast.Fabulous restaurant, but expensive for that part of Italy. You have to take the taster menu - around 50 euros per head. Outside grounds, not a picturesque environment.No bar in hotel.
The website stated that the villa would do evening meals in the restaurant-this is NOT CORRECT as the owner stopped this last year.The owners were helpful in other matters. As above and no air conditioning.
friendly service no

von Thomas von der Osten-Sacken
Zusammengestellt von Bruno Tertrais:
How do we know that Iran wants the Bomb? There is no single "smoking gun" (nor could there ever be one absent a nuclear test), but rather a multitude of "smoldering guns". Most come from the work of the IAEA. Taken together, they lead to the inescapable conclusion that Iran wants at least a nuclear weapon option, and probably the Bomb.
1. Iran has sought to hide its activities and installations from the IAEA
In 2003, the magnitude of Iran's efforts became public. Iran had concealed the construction of an enrichment plant at Natanz and of a research reactor at Arak, the fabrication of centrifuges, the existence of a laser enrichment program, and a number of sensitive experiments. [1] Iran then prevented the IAEA from a full inspection of the Lavisan-Shian and Parchin sites, suspected of hosting nuclear activities (which was indeed the case, as is now known). It later failed to declare in advance the construction of the Fordow enrichment plant.
2. Iran's most sensitive activities are controlled by the Ministry of Defense
While Iran's program is officially under the control of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), the IAEA has established that many hidden nuclear-related activities were in fact conducted under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense. [2] In its latest report, the IAEA described in a very precise manner the "structured organization" that had been set up by Tehran to that effect. Until 2003, it was a true parallel program. Since 2003, these activities are more dispersed, probably to ensure more discretion. [3]
3. Iran's enrichment program has no economic logic
Iran's gas reserves would allow the country to be self-sufficient regarding electricity generation for several decades. Tehran's investment in a costly enrichment program, allegedly to make fuel for nuclear power plants, has no economic rationale.
Natanz has limited capability: if completed, it could fuel only one reactor for a year. No country has ever operated an enrichment facility for just one plant – it is much cheaper, in such a case, to buy fuel on the market.
4. Iran's enrichment program is inconsistent with its stated goals
Iran claims that it needs 3% enriched uranium for its nuclear power plants. But Russia provides the fuel for Bushehr – and it would be impossible for Iran to operate it with its own fuel. If the plan was to fuel a hypothetical future reactor, there is no reason why Tehran would have started enrichment as early as 2006.
Iran is now building a second enrichment plant at Fordow, but this buried installation is much smaller than Natanz. Its size is consistent with a military purpose.
In 2010, Iran has started to produce 20% enriched uranium, allegedly to re-fuel the Tehran research reactor. But there is no evidence that Iran has the know-how needed to make fuel rods for this particular reactor. And for technical reasons, 20% enrichment is very close to the 90% level which is deemed ideal for the manufacture of a nuclear weapon. In 2011, Iran announced its intention to transfer the production of 20% enriched uranium to Fordow, to "triple" such production, and to install in Fordow the latest centrifuge models. The Fordow installation would be ideal for quick production of 90% enriched uranium.
5. Iran possesses a document explaining how to cast uranium into hemispheres
The IAEA has determined that Iran possesses a document which explains how to cast uranium metal into hemispheres – that is, how to make a nuclear weapon core. [4] This document was given by the Khan network.
Abul Ala Maududi, Vordenker des islamischen Staates und Mitbegründer der Jama'at Islamiya, im Jahre 1948 über die Unterschiede zwischen dem Staatsmodell, das er "islamische Demokratie" nannte und westlichen Systemen:
What distinguishes Islamic democracy from Western democracy is that while the latter is based on the concept of popular sovereignty the former rests on the principle of popular Khilafat. In Western democracy the people are sovereign, in Islam sovereignty is vested in Allah and the people are His caliphs or representatives. In the former the people make their own laws; in the latter they have to follow and obey the laws (Shari'ah) given by Allah through His Prophet. In one the Government undertakes to fulfil the will of the people; in the other Government and the people alike have to do the will of Allah. Western democracy is a kind of absolute authority which exercises its powers in a free and uncontrolled manner, whereas Islamic democracy is subservient to the Divine Law and exercises its authority in accordance with the injunctions of Allah and within the limits prescribed by Him.
Prägnanter lässt sich der Unterschied kaum formulieren. Wenn auch heute Islamisten davon sprechen, dass sie Demokraten seien, meinen sie mehr oder weniger dieses System der "islamischen Demokratie", in der es keine nationale Souveränität geben kann und die Legislative eigentlich nur eine beratende Funktion als Shura-Rat inne hat:
Legislation in an Islamic state should be within the limits prescribed by the Shari'ah. The injunctions of Allah and His Prophet are to be accepted and obeyed and no legislative body can alter or modify them or make any new laws which are contrary to their spirit. The duty of ascertaining the real intent of those commandments which are open to more than one interpretation should devolve on people possessing a specialised knowledge of the law of Shari'ah.
Man wird sehen, inwieweit die Muslimbrüder, die im Prinzip diese Definition des islamischen Staates teilen, in Zukunft bereit sein werden, Zugeständnisse zu machen. Denn eigentlich kann es, wie Gamal al-Banna, der Bruder von Hassan al Banna, dem Gründer der Muslimbrüder, ganz richtig festellt, nur entweder einen islamischen oder einen "zivilen" Staat geben, denn:
There cannot be a civil state with an Islamic reference, and if this happens it will become a religious state, even if it is not like the Iranian model of a religious state, in which the clergy rule the country. If nothing else, the civilian and religious outlooks will differ and will therefore surrender to the religious outlook.
Und genau darin besteht momentan das Dilemma der islamistischen Parteien: Das Modell des "islamischen Staates" oder der "islamischen Demokratie" erscheint zumindest den Protagonisten des so genannten arabischen Frühlings wenig erstrebenswert und widerspricht den zentralen Forderungen der "arabischen Straße" nach Parlamentarismus, Verfassungsreform und Gewaltenteilung. Kompromisse in so zentralen Fragen, wie der, wer denn Souverän sei und welche Bedeutung von Menschen gemachte Gesetze haben sollen, sind allerdings nur schwer zu finden. Je weiter sie aber von ihrer ursprünglichen Vorstellung abrücken, je mehr werden sie sich in diesen Widersprüchen verfangen.
Israel's ambassador to UNESCO was handed an official letter of protest from the organization's director general, Irina Bokova, on Wednesday regarding a cartoon published in Ha'aretz on Nov. 4 after UNESCO decided to accept Palestine as a full member.
The cartoon showed Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Barak sending an air force squadron to attack Iran, with Netanyahu ordering, "And on your way back, you're gonna hit the UNESCO office in Ramallah!" Ambassador Nimrod Barkan pointed out that the government has no control over editorial cartoons printed in the papers. "Ask yourselves what you did to make a moderate paper with a deeply internationalist bent publish such a cartoon," he suggested. "Perhaps the problem is with you."
Wenn's um die guten Beziehungen zu den Saudis geht, muss man schon mal Kompromisse eingehen, d. h. das Asylrecht ein wenig flexibel auslegen:
ALI Ahmed Asseri, the gay former Saudi diplomat in Los Angeles, has had his political asylum application denied by the Obama administration because of apparent fears that giving refuge to him might upset relations with the kingdom, according to Ali al-Ahmed, a Saudi dissident in Washington, D.C.
"This was a political decision by the Obama administration, who are afraid of upsetting the Saudis," said Ahmed in a phone interview. "His initial interview with Homeland Security was very positive, but then they came back and grilled him for two days after they found out that he had worked in the public prosecutor's office in Saudi Arabia. He had been an inspector to make sure that judicial punishments, such as lashings, were carried out within the law—not more, not less. They then accused him of participating in a form of torture," explained Ahmed.
Seine Aufgabe war es, darauf zu achten, dass Auspeitschungen auch gesetzekonform ausgeführt wurden. So ist es eben, wenn man Inspektor im Königreich der Sauds, dem guten engen Verbündeten am Golf ist, dem Land, das auch deutsche Politiker so gerne als moderat bezeichnen.
Hart geht dankenswerterweise Mahmood Delkhasteh mit den so genannten Reformern im Iran zu Gericht, die seiner Ansicht nach einen Großteil der Schuld am Scheitern der Massenproteste gegen das Regime im Jahre 2009 tragen:
The common view is that mass arrests, violent repression, and a telecommunications blackout shut down the peaceful Green Movement in 2009, when protesters took to the streets over rigged presidential elections. But Iran's own "reformers" deserve much of the blame. And they still stand in the way of change. (…)
To be sure, the security crackdown on protesters in 2009 discouraged participation in the Green Movement. But much more discouraging, I believe, was the cautious message of reformers once the chant of protesters changed from "Where is my vote?" to "Death to Khamenei" (Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) and "Independence, Freedom, Iranian Republic."
The new slogans arose after the supreme leader gave an ultimatum to protesters to go back home or face a violent crackdown. But reformers, too, rebuked the demonstrators' rhetorical switch, which amounted to a call for regime change. (…)
Iranians are paying a high price for allowing reformers to play politics with their future. Real change cannot take place within this repressive, regressive structure in which autocratic clerics constitutionally have the last word. Intransigence is again visible as the supreme leader threatens to eliminate the post of president.
Ganz sicher trifft diese Kritik auch auf jene 120 "iranische Intellektuellen" zu, die jetzt einen "offenen Brief" veröffentlich haben, in dem sie vor einem Angriff auf den Iran warnen:
We the signatories of this [public] letter, a group of human rights defenders and [political and social] freedom activists, want peaceful transition to democracy and a government in Iran that emanate from free elections to secure the civil, political, social, cultural, and economical rights of all Iranians. We hope that there will soon be a political system in Iran in which all the Iranian people, men and women, from any ethnicity, language, religion and belief can participate in its running on equal basis and have effective presence in it, a political system that does not discriminate against half the population of the country – the women – and deny them their fundamental rights. We believe that the only way of achieving this goal is through stressing the national sovereignty, protecting Iran's territorial integrity, and recovery of all the rights of the people.
Denn während der Iran weiter an der Bombe baut, bleibt die große Frage, die sie Jahr für Jahr unbeantwortet lassen: Wie bitte soll denn der "friedliche, demokratische Wandel" aussehen und wie wollen sie ihn erreichen?
Erinnert sich noch wer an Samir Kuntar? Wie er als Held in Beirut, Damaskus und Teheran ermpfangen wurde?
Als er bei einem Gefangeneaustausch 2008 aus israelischer Haft entlassen wurde, schrieb die Süddeutsche:
Für die Libanesen hingegen ist er der am längsten in Israel einsitzende Gefangene und ein Volksheld.
Nicht für Hanin Ghaddar, die in einem Beitrag für Now Lebanon Kuntar aber sowas von in die Tonne tritt, dass die Lektüre ein einziges Vergnügen ist. Auch wenn die Autoren von Now Lebanon, alles vehemente Unterstützer der Zederrevolution, nicht sonderlich repräsentativ für "die Libenaesen" sind, zeigt der Text doch, dass einige alte Narrative in der Region seit Beginn der Aufstände in Syrien nicht mehr wirklich funktionieren wollen:
Kuntar told the Syrian people that he is ready to cut off the hands of any Syrian who dares challenge the Assad regime. (…)
The problem is that people like Kuntar do not understand that Assad is just buying time, and that he and his regime are too weak to refuse any initiative. They still look at the Syrian regime as a sacred entity because it supports the scared Resistance. Kuntar is the Syrian regime's kind of hero, one that cuts hands and protects murderers.
After he was released, he rushed to Syria to get his medal, but did not mention the Lebanese who have been rotting in Syrian jails for decades or the Syrian political prisoners who have suffered much worse conditions than those he faced in Israeli prison. For they are not heroes. They did not kill any Israelis. All other political activity is a conspiracy, and deserves death, torture and pain. All those calling for freedom in the Syrian streets do not make sense to people like Kuntar. All the Syrian children who died in the past eight months are just victims of a conspiracy and deserve no sympathy. All prisoners who are viciously tortured every day by the Syrian security forces are not human beings.
It is the same arrogance that divides people into the honorable ones who support the Resistance and the traitors who are against it. If you are not ready to sacrifice your freedom, dignity and future for the sake of the Resistance and your dictator, you do not deserve to live.
von Thomas von der Osten-Sacken
Eine interessante (wenn auch schon etwas ältere) Zusammenfassung der Debatten innerhalb islamistischer Parteien, was eigentlich ein islamischer Staat, bzw. eine islamische Demokratie sein soll, bzw. sein kann, die die Bruchlinien innerhalb der Bewegung zeigt:
Few question the coming electoral success of religious activists, but as they emerge from the shadows of a long, sometimes bloody struggle with authoritarian and ostensibly secular governments, they are confronting newly urgent questions about how to apply Islamic precepts to more open societies with very concrete needs.
and , culturally conservative parties founded on Islamic principles are rejecting the name "Islamist" to stake out what they see as a more democratic and tolerant vision.
, a similar impulse has begun to fracture the Muslim Brotherhood as a growing number of politicians and parties argue for a model inspired by Turkey, where a party with roots in political Islam has thrived in a once-adamantly secular system. Some contend that the absolute monarchy of puritanical Saudi Arabia in fact violates Islamic law.
A backlash has ensued, as well, as traditionalists have flirted with timeworn Islamist ideas like imposing interest-free banking and obligatory religious taxes and censoring irreligious discourse.
The debates are deep enough that many in the region believe that the most important struggles may no longer occur between Islamists and secularists, but rather among the Islamists themselves, pitting the more puritanical against the more liberal.

Hello there! I'm new here. A question about speaker kits if you please.
I've been a lurker for a while now, not quite as much on this site as others because the people on this site seem to hold a degree of understanding to which I am only just coming to grips with.
I do enjoy reading and try to understand as much as I can. I understand the basic concepts (at most) of most speaker boxes, and I understand the basic meanings of the most rudimentary (most advertised) T/S parameters of speaker drivers. Beyond that I'm useless. But I am interested in building a set of speakers that will initially be bedroom speakers (15*12 or thereabout) and strictly for music. Never to be used for movies. Now here's the thing. I'm really interested in the "Statements" (and not the mini statements either, I want the full experience). But I look at them on paper and think: there's a setup that wants to do it all: be a hifi that hits in the subwoofer range. I have an idea that, even for music, it would be preferably to have a system of stereo speakers that maximize the midbass region but cut off sharply, requiring a subwoofer, but maximizing the accuracy of sound in that now more focused region provided by the mains. Or would the Statements be just incredible? |

re ''would the Statements be just incredible?'' - probably, but they're also an incredibly difficult build for a first timer - go for a simpler 2 way
re ''it would be preferably to have a system of stereo speakers that maximize the midbass region but cut off sharply'' - not if the drivers are good quality and you don't play them at extreme levels also, I prefer a speakers that respond below the range of musical instruments, ~low 30s, to give a sense of the recording environment
Impedance varies with frequency, use impedance plots of your drivers and make crossover calculations using the actual impedance of the driver at the crossover frequency |

well, I understand that they would be diffcult to build, that's why they wouldn't technically be my first prject, because I can have someone build the cabinets can't I? Or perhaps have them cut the wood and have me glue it together. And then I could hire a service to help me tune them.
My first goal is merely to establish a stereo that outperforms what I'd spend on retail. I was actually thinking about getting a set of Klipsh RF-82's but then remembered this site. After getting those up and running I would then begin my first true DIY project. Something simpler, I'd look for something I can build for my PC that would outperform these: http://dynaudio.com/eng/multimedia/facts.php @ $1500 retail! http://dynaudio.com/eng/multimedia/250mc.php they want almost $1000! So that would be my first build right there. Then onwards and upwards I guess. Begin buying ocilloscopes and such and begin taking it more seriously then. As of now, I just want a really nice stereo. |

Thank you sir, but what specifically should I be looking at there? I must also admit my German is very very weak.

Hey, pretty neat! Thank you. To the gentleman above, was there supposed to be something better than the Statements on that site?
It's either those or the Zaph ZRT with Madisound prefab boxes but I searched this very site and a lot of threads ended up discussing the Statements as a better alternative. |

Under the guidance of producer Geoffrey Chung, Pablo Moses made his recorded debut in 1975 with "I Man a Grasshopper": an autobiographical herb tale cut at Lee "Scratch" Perry's Black Ark studio. Featuring Chung himself on clavinet, his brother Mikey and the In Crowd's Michael Murray on rhythm and lead guitar, Clive Hunt on bass, and Robby Lyn on piano, the song provided Hunt's Sound Track label with a hit single. Moses followed up with a small batch of reality gems like "Blood Money," "We Should Be in Angola," and "One People," further boosting the singer's profile, both in Jamaica and the U.K. Revolutionary Dream, Moses' debut full-length released in 1976, brought most of those early singles together with eight additional mid-'70s productions. Throughout, the singer maintains a peaceful disposition, expounding thoughtfully upon cultural and reality subjects over the slow tempos established by drummer Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace. The music is characterized by a refined cool, and Geoffrey Chung isn't afraid to tilt the sound toward a rock influence with a guitar solo or two (note Murray's leads on "I Man a Grasshopper"). Underneath the polished productions.
The first studio release in seven years from drummer/composer Bob Moses, Time Stood Still is one of those potpourris that inspire awe, delight and the occasional moment of bewilderment. Moses has a finger in virtually every stylistic pie: jazz, funk Latin, Hip-hop. Yet his real predilection is for the backbeat, which explains why he avoids his ride cymbal like the plague and employs both an upright and electric bassist. The resulting sound is bottom-heavy and mostly irresistible.
A feature length follow-up to Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet's short film Introduction to Arnold Schoenberg's Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene, this largely static adaptation of Schoenberg's -Biblical opera balances philosophy and drama while detailing Moses and his older brother's attempt to help lead the Hebrews out of Egypt.

Plague of Justinian
The Plague of Justinian[1] was a pandemic in the Byzantine Empire in the years 541–542. It was the first recorded plague pandemic. It is estimated that the Plague of Justinian killed as many as 100 million people across the world,[2][3] because it returned about every twelve years till 770 when it stopped for about 500 years.
It caused Europe's population to drop by around 50% between 541 and 700.[4] It also may have contributed to the success of the Muslim conquests.[5][6] Its social and cultural impact is comparable to that of the Black Death.
Origin and impact[change | change source]
The plague may have come from Ethiopia or Egypt, and it was eventually carried north to the large city of Constantinople. Ships carrying grain, which the city imported, had many rats that carried the plague.[7]
At its height, the plague killed 10,000 people in Constantinople everyday. It eventually killed 40% of the city's population. In all, about 25 million people died because of the plague.[7] It is said to have contributed to the fall of the Byzantine Empire, because it killed farmers and caused famine. The empire relied on tax money, and the plague killed many taxpayers.[8]
