To redact a document is to edit, or prepare for publishing. Frequently, a redacted document, such as a memo or e-mail message, has simply had personal, private or actionable information blacked out or deleted. Redacted is often used to describe documents from which sensitive information has been removed. You might want to publish a document that has you address, social security number or credit number. Just redact the private details and then you can share the PDF with confidence.
If you're creating and want to a share a PDF with sensitive information, the easiest way to hide is to redact it. Redacting a PDF with Acrobat is easy. Here's how to do it.
How not to Redact a PDF
Before we talk about how to redact a document, you need to know what not to do. Simply changing the background color to the same color as the font is not redacting. It's foolish. Search engine can still index the content and the text can be selected, copied and displayed. It doesn't work.
The Right Way to Redact a PDF
1) Open your PDF in Acrobat
2) Under the "Advanced" menu, choose "Redaction" and choose "Mark for Redaction". The "Using Redaction Tools" dialogue box will appear.
Credit: Andrew Hecht
You can quickly read through this, but once you understand it, click the "Don't show again" check box and hit "OK". That way it won't come up every time.
3) Using your mouse, select the section that you want to redact. You'll use the click and drag method. Start from the top left corner of the section you want to redact, click and hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse down and the right until the entire section is surround by box created by your mouse. When you let go, the section is surround by a red box. If you move your mouse over the box, it will turn black so you can preview the redaction. Don't worry if you mess up. If you're not happy with your selection, just hit CTRL+Z. This will undo your selection and you can start over.
4) If you're happy with the selection, you'll need to apply the redactions. Right click anywhere on the red box and choose "Apply Redactions". A warning box will appear explaining that you are about to permanently redact the content. This is true, but the redactions won't really be permanent until you save the document. If you're happy with the redaction and ready to continue, click the "OK" button.
5) When you click "OK", yet another dialogue box will appear explaining that the redactions have been successfully applied. It also asks if you want to make more redactions. If you do, click "Yes" and return to step 3. If you're done redacting, click "No".
The last thing to do is to save the document. You'll want to choose "Save As" and give this file another name so you'll have two files, the original and the redacted version. If you simply save the file, the redacted version that you just created will overwrite the original.
That's it. You have your redacted file. You can now share it safely with confidence that your personal and private information will not be exposed.

פניה של תלמיד מחקר מהודו לראיין אנשים שקשורים ליהדות הודו בישראל
I am Suraj from India and I am a master's student at O.P. Jindal Global University, Delhi. I am part of a research centre called The Jindal Centre for Israel Studies (JCIS) and currently the centre is working on a project titled "The Indian Jews in Israel" to understand the life of Indian Jewish community in Israel. To complete the project, we are planning to conduct Interview with people belonging to the Bene Israeli, Cochin and Sephardic Jewish community who migrated back to Israel from India after Israel formation in 1948.
I and couple of my friends who are working on this project were selected to attend a summer school program organised by the Bar-llan University from July 1-Aug 2, 2018. and we hope that it would be the best time to have a face to face interaction with Indian Jews belonging to these communities, so that we could listen to their personal experiences and their reflections on India-Israel Relations.
The main topics that we are looking in this study includes understanding the reasons for the migration, how the communities developed in their new country, Identity question, how they view India, Influences of Indian culture on them like food, films etc. This is not an exclusive list. Moreover, we have prepared a questionnaire and have submitted them for the approval from our university. We haven't kept this study restricted to any particular age group. However, we would like to interview first, second and even third generation members of the community so that we are able to understand the perceptions change that happened across generations and time. We would like to conduct the interview in English because the project members are unable to speak Hebrew. But if the community members wish to speak in Hindi or Malayalam an alternative arrangement could be made.
If any more details required, please feel free to contact at email@example.com

Imagine reading a textbook on a rollercoaster, that's sort of what visiting a ghost town is similar to. Well, minus the imminent and unavoidable nausea that would surely occur if you were to try to read a book on a rollercoaster. But think about it; ghost towns are interesting and informative preserved portraits of time periods and cultures that once existed – and they're scary. Nordegg, Alberta, which was once a busy and growing mining town, is a perfect example.
The town, which was established in 1911, is located 150KM west of Red Deer, Alberta off of David Thompson Highway. In 1914, The Canadian Northern Western Railway built a railway to Nordegg, and the town grew to 3,000 people, most of which worked in the local Brazeau Collieries coal mine. But as trains shifted their fuel source from coal to diesel, Nordegg's population began to decline until there were only a few people left, in effect, turning Nordegg into a true blue ghost town. In 1993, at the urging of former residents, the 79-acre Brazeau Collieries mine was declared a provincial historical resource, and in 2002, it became a National Historic Site.
Today, the town is but a few buildings, but guides offer access to the mine site during the summer season. As a result of the tourism opportunities, there has been a small amount of redevelopment with a golf course, a fire department, and a library all developing in the area.
But don't get the wrong idea, visiting is still eerie. Wallboards and walls bang as the wind blows through gaps and spaces of the still standing structures, and mining equipment remains at the ready to use as if people just walked away from their daily tasks and jobs. Additionally, there is a bit of a dark history in Nordegg. Like many mining towns of the time, Nordegg was not without disaster. On Halloween, 1941, a massive explosion tore through the mineshaft, killing 29 miners. Nine years later, a fire destroyed the coal plant. But it was the shift to diesel fuel that ultimately killed the town, for in 1955, the mine closed for good.
Nordegg happens to be remote enough that it also acts as a great backcountry hub for pretty much any outdoor pursuit you desire. After you are sufficiently spooked by the relic town, you can decompress on a nine hole golf course, or hike the expansive Albertan countryside. Alternatively, you can mountain bike the surrounding peaks and domes, or fly fish and canoe the many surrounding streams that feed nearby Abraham Lake. Nordegg is also worthy of a winter adventure as there are easily accessible snowmobile and cross country skiing trails,as well as great ice climbing in the nearby Kootenay Plains. Lastly, cowboy fantasies can be lived via horseback tours.
Bring – Hiking boots, mountain bike, fly fishing rod, golf clubs, canoe, and swimwear.
Stay – There are many private cabins to rent in the area, but if you opt for a hotel, The Best Western, The Canalta Inn and the Rocky Mountain House are good options.
Go – Because of all the outdoor activities available to visitors, Nordegg is a great place to visit during any season, but opt for the summer months if you really want to explore the town and it's history as the mine is only accessible during these time.

Mehron Celebre HD Foundation, Reviewed
I have told you all before that Mehron is highly underrated as a consumer beauty brand, right? With a stellar array of high performance products, at a teensy weensy price point, Mehron is a brand to pay attention to for sure. New to the lineup, the Celebré Pro HD Foundation is taking us all into the HD age with a buildable, medium to full coverage cream formulation.
Being that I am of the rather pasty variety, I test drove shades Light 1 and Light 3. As you can see below, I achieved perfect coverage with a thin application of Light 3 with a sponge. The coverage was perfect for my purposes, and lasted all day while still looking great. The formula is a bit heavier than my usual suspects, but did not clog my pores or sweat, which are two huge pluses in my book.
After: (Excuse the shoddy application. I blame sleep deprivation)
Mehron's Celebré Pro HD foundation is available both online, and at your local Mehron provider. For full cover in the HD age, Mehron is an awesome option.
Krasey Rating: An affordable option for flawless coverage B

Notes About Jurors
Justice depends on the keen focus of the jury.
Background Information regarding juries:
Juries perform three main functions:
1. "Jurors listen to the evidence, ascertain the relevant facts, and draw reasonable inferences in reaching a verdict."
2. "Jurors listen to instructions read by the court and apply legal principles to the case."
3. "Jurors determine the legal consequences of the litigants' behavior through group deliberation. They publicly announce their verdict."
Other facts:
1.) Federal judges may not re-examine any fact tried by a jury, (unless it is allowed by the common law.) In other words, "...no court, trial or appellate, may overturn a jury verdict that is reasonably supported by the evidence... Judges are charged with the responsibility of resolving issues concerning the admissibility of evidence and instructing jurors regarding the pertinent laws governing the case. Judges are also permitted to comment on the evidence, highlight important issues, and otherwise express their opinions in open court as long as each factual question is ultimately submitted to the jury. However, a judge may not interject her personal opinions or observations to such an extent that they impair a litigant's right to a fair trial…"
2.) "A jury must be allowed to hear a lawsuit from start to finish unless it presents a legal claim that is completely lacking an evidentiary basis."
3.) "The Seventh Amendment guarantees civil litigants the right to an impartial jury. A juror's impartiality may be compromised by communications with sources outside the courtroom, such as friends, relatives, and members of the media. The presence of even one partial, biased, or prejudiced juror creates a presumption that the Seventh Amendment has been violated."
*All quotes abstracted from the following web site:
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictiona … +Amendment
One would assume there is a way to guarantee judicial competence. The primary way would be to select qualified judges and jurors. Qualified judges come from institutions of higher learning. However, jurors are your run-of-the-mill, educated or not, randomly selected Joe and Joan. How can we guarantee that jurors are intelligent enough to discern and accurately deduct the innocence or guilt of the accused. "Innocent until proven guilty" is the goal. But what about those who are sentenced to death or to life in prison because they were found guilty when they were actually innocent? We are at the mercy of our juries, good or bad.
In fact, juror competency is a serious concern for trial courts.To help juries, the courts provide detailed introductory instructions and allow jurors to take notes. Jurors are encouraged to discuss the interim summation after it is presented by the counsel. The courts will provide concluding instructions before the argument and introduce special verdicts. The inability of jurors to remember testimony and to grasp confusing or abstract concepts presents problems for the judges. Sometimes judges won't use a jury due to the complexity of the case. Sometimes they bring in jurors with special expertise in the area of concern. The courts also realize the length of the trial, the amount of evidence, the number of claims and the hardship of a prolonged service can present problems for jurors.
Should we require some sort of intelligence testing in selecting jurors, especially for murder trials? Ideally, juries should be made up intelligent people who have common sense and deductive reasoning abilities. How would you go about testing them for it? One answer is the Intelligent quotient test.
"An Intelligence Quotient test, is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. The abbreviation "IQ" was coined by the psychologist William Stern for the German term Intelligenz-quotient, his term for a scoring method for intelligence tests he advocated in a 1912 book. When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation (SD) up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately 95 percent of the population scores an IQ between 70 and 130, which is within two standard deviations of the mean." *Definition abstracted from Wikipedia
But, there are many arguments against testing. "IQ tests don't measure common sense, decision making or reasoning abilities," some folks will tell you. Others will explain that scientific studies show that those with high I.Q.s can have disabilities in other areas of intelligence involving personality and emotions. In this case jurors could be easily mislead using emotion over logic. They might be easily swayed by ruthless lawyers or by the lies of the criminals on the stand. Therefore, EQ tests may also be in order along with IQ tests.
However, no written test is required for a juror. After being randomly selected, each juror is interviewed to determine their experiences and backgrounds. The attorneys may object to a juror using either "peremptory challenges" or "challenges for cause." When an attorney challenges a juror for cause, there was most likely something in the juror's history that would cause him to be prejudiced. For example, an attorney would not allow a retired teacher to sit on a jury deciding on a teacher misconduct case. Each attorney may use as many "challenges for cause" as he likes. Each side gets a limited number of "peremptory challenges" and do not need to give reasons for them. Attorneys are not allowed to use "peremptory challenges" based on race or gender.
Randomly selected jurors are used in even the most complicated of cases and any type of reform involving testing for IQ and/or EQ is unlikely. Although testing of jurors is a seemingly logical solution in solving any problems of judicial incompetence, it is completely and utterly taboo for two main reasons: 1.) Forcing citizens to reveal their IQs or their EOs is an invasion of privacy. 2.) A jury of peers does not equal a jury of people with high IQ's. Therefore, while it seems logical to require some sort of high intellectual and emotional standards for jurors, it is not practical or even legal to enforce them. In conclusion, a jury of one's randomly selected, untested, rationally-minded peers is the most practical and legal way to obtain qualified jurors. Of course, judicial mistakes are occasionally made, but frequency of any type of judicial incompetency is surely minimal.
This is something we all too seldom think seriously about and need to. Well done. Perhaps the job of the Jury Foreman is key here.
I worry about testing jurors for smarts. What happens when a defendant is stupid and just does stupid things. Then smart jurors are not a jury of his peers and perhaps cannot help but pass harsh judgment based on their own experiences. Jurors need to be common Joe and Joan from a similar locale.
This article is extremely well written informative and accurate, good job.

MPA Singapore Issues New Bunker Survey Licences
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has issued 51 companies with bunker survey licence to operate in the Port of Singapore which are valid from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
Since the licensing scheme was first announced in October 2014, MPA has been engaging the bunker surveying industry on the details of the scheme. The licensing scheme will raise the standards of bunker surveying companies and allow MPA to have greater regulatory oversight of bunker surveying companies and bunker surveyors.
"This new licensing scheme for bunker surveying companies complements the existing schemes of requiring bunker surveyors to be licenced and requiring bunker survey companies to be accredited to ISO 17020," said Darajit Daud, Senior Manager, SGS Testing & Control Services Singapore Pte Ltd and Chairman of the Technical Committee for Cargo Inspection, under SPRING Singapore.
He added that together these schemes "will enhance industry confidence in the many bunker surveying companies in Singapore and further help protect the interest of the relevant bunker players."

Hi Everyone
Chip the wonder Dog here with a great article (even if I do say so myself) all about cheap heartworm medicine. I know from personal experience (and having a frugal owner) that not only are there a lot of cheap meds now on the market, but many of them are just as effective as the more expensive brands.
But people have concerns, after all, Dogs are very precious and we deserve the best possible treatment and care, right?
So I thought it would be a good idea to provide a guide to just what the best prices for heartworm medicines are, take a look at how effective cheap options (often generics) are, and put to rest any concerns about safety too.
The Best Cheap Heartworm Medicines
Here at TatoChip our owner Karen tries here very best to find suppliers for pet owners that offer the best deals, have great customer service, and stock all the best brands. For heartwormers there are now a large number of different options for Dogs, and just a few for Cats. But prices vary wildly, and although not the cheapest it is the Heartagrd without prescription option that is by far the most popular. But this is as it treats for other parasites apart from heartworms, but not all owners need such comprehensive treatment.
By far the best option for those that just want to ensure that heartworm disease is not a problem is probably going to be the medication known as Nuheart. This is one of the most popular brands in Australia but is know gaining in popularity in the US as well.
Because it has the same active ingredient (Ivermectin) as Heartgard for dealing with heartworms. This is known as a generic, basically meaning that the packaging is cheaper but the actual medication treats for (and is the same as) heartworm ust like Heartgard regular does.
The Proheart without prescription option is also gaining in popularity, just as cheap, if not a little cheaper, than Nuheart it is one of the most popular options for those that have Dogs that should not be given Ivermectin. Collies are not recommended to have Ivermectin based meds, so Proheart, with the active ingredient Moxidectin is the perfect option.
For the absolute cheapest way to prevent heartworm infections then those two options come highly recommended.
But, for just a couple of dollars more there is now a generic Heartgard Plus option available. The exact same ingredients as the regular brand, but at a significantly lower price. If you want to treat for intestinal worms as well, with one tasty chew, then this is an option worth considering.
Do These Cheaper Options Actually Work?
They absolutely do. All medicines go through very strict testing phases and are never allowed onto the market unless they are safe.
The suppliers we recommend often ship from various locations to take advantage of lower prices for you, so often they may come in different packaging than we are sued to, but they are all legitimate brands in the US, even if they may be shipped from another country to give lower prices, or or take advantage of different laws concerning the need for prescriptions.
But one thing is absolutely certain, they are legitimate products made under the licenses from the major pharmaceutical companies, and they have all been shown to work just as effectively as brands that you may be more aware of.
So there really is nothing to worry about when buying cheaper medications, as long as you buy from reputable companies that TatoChip recommends.
Safety Considerations
Although all the meds we write about her have great records when it comes to safety the reality is that some animals, just like some people, do not react well to certain medications or combinations of active ingredients.
It is why Collies and other herding breeds, as well as some pregnant females, are not recommended to have meds with Ivermectin present.
All the information can be found on the respective pages here for each medication, so you will know if it is safe for your Dog or not. But the advice of a vet should always be sought before giving medications to animals for the first time.
It should also be noted that if you do notice any adverse reactions, such as vomiting or diarrhea, then your vet should be consulted as soon as possible.
And remember, some Dogs can be a little naughty, so always store heartworm medications well away from them, and out of the reach of children too. Some of them taste lovely and I would happily eat the lot, rather than just one tablet a month!
Also note that most of the meds we talk about here are heartworm meds no prescription needed, so you must be absolutely sure that your pet is heartworm disease free before beginning to give them monthly protection. Our best suppliers ship from jurisdictions that require no RX, and we pick these as it means owners get to pay less for the tablets than they would otherwise have to. Pick the best heartworm medicine for your Dog, or Cat, and rest assured that each and every one of them is relatively safe and would never even be for sale if it was otherwise.
Absolutely none of them are counterfeit products, they are all legitimate brands made by very large pharmaceutical companies.
I hope that this has helped in your search for affordable heartworm medicine and you find the option best for your lovely pooch!

Yay, my race is coming up. I've talked with enough people that I feel I have a fairly good understanding of what I'm about to get myself into. Maybe not. Either way I'm going and nothing can stop me now. Throughout my conversations with people many have asked when I decided to do this race. I said it was a spur of the moment choice. For many people that was kind of off the wall. For me it sounded like a great adventure and rarely can I say no to an adventure.
What I have come to discover is that although I will jump at the chance to go on an adventure there are other things that I cringe at. Talking this over with one of my friends I mentioned how another friend of mine does this really cool thing she invented called rejection month. The premise is simple. Every day for one month she goes out does things she is almost sure that she will be rejected for. They are usually goofy and fun things such as asking a random stranger on the street if you can wear their shoes for a mile. Or asking the person at Starbucks if they will let you get behind the counter and make your own coffee. Asking a police officer if you can sit in the front seat for a day with him.
I like this rejection month for a lot of different reasons. One it teaches you to handle rejection really well. I think most of us tend to lean towards things that are safe and less likely to cause rejection. Or we flat out avoid certain situations that are likely to cause a rejection. I believe we do this without even knowing it. Our subconscious trying to protect us. And that's a shame. We need to be able to handle rejection. We need to go out there and take risks and be fearless.
It also opens up the possibility of "what if". The biggest surprise my friend had during rejection month was that some of the ridiculous ideas she had actually worked. She was able to do so many cool things simply because she was not afraid of the rejection. Now I don't think she ever got to fly a plane but you get the idea. You never know what may come of your pursuits.
I also think that I would enjoy the social interaction part of this as well. It allows you to be more comfortable talking to strangers. I'm sure some great conversations would come as a result of these interactions. I mean if a stranger comes up to me and asks me to swap out shoes for a mile in the name of research I might say yes. It can be fun and exciting albeit a bit nerve racking getting out of your comfort zone and meeting new people.
The case I used with my friend was that although I am comfortable signing up for a 5100 mile race without blinking an eye I am completely terrified of talking to random women. There happens to be a women where I shop frequently. She's tall with short brown hair and has a wonderful smile. And that is all I know about her. I may or may not have a crush on her but it's not like I want to go up and hit on her. I would just like to have a conversation with her. But I make up all sorts excuses like she's at work, this is not what normal people do, what if I make her feel uncomfortable, so on and so forth. Who knows. Definitely not me because I'm afraid of that rejection. It's better just left alone I tell myself.
So when I return from my trip I shall begin rejection club. Once a week I'll put myself in a situation where I'm almost sure to be rejected. I can hardly wait. I think it will be a great learning experience for me. Maybe I'll start by asking this women her name. Hahaha, I have to start somewhere.
As Sylia Plath once said, "I love my rejection slips. They show me I tried.".

So why is Ramadan a special month for Muslims?
We ask for miracles every day and especially more so when faced with a disaster or calamity because miracles are things that only God can do. So how do we know God exists? Being an infinite being, how can we proof His existence? Is it even possible for us to use something limited, like our five senses to measure something that is infinite? Yet God in His mercy has given us many proofs but some of us still remain doubtful. His clearest and biggest signs being His miracles and He does them not only once but every day and second in our lives. They are everywhere but we hardly notice or ponder deeply about them.
– Waking up alive every morning
– The birth of a child
– A fireman escaping a burning building alive with a survivor
– A person cured of a terminal illness like cancer
– A horrific accident but left none dead
– The Earth being precisely placed in an orbit that is not too far or close to the sun
And much more…
A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws. It is God's proof to us of His existence and infinite wisdom. By looking at his creations and pondering deeply about His miracles, we come to believe in Him. Much like looking at footprints left on the sand and instinctively you know that a person once walked by, The Creator's footprints are His creations. Miracles exist and when it's over, people are left in wonder and amazement. Life itself is a miracle so should we then not ponder deeply about the source of its beauty and show our gratitude to The Creator?
Today a living miracle is among us and had been around since 1400 years ago, but are we aware of it? Or are we assuming to know all about it? Unlike all miracles that had happened before or that is happening now, this miracle is widely available and is something that you can hold, read and ponder deeply about. As mentioned earlier, miracles come and go and are specific to a person or a group of people at that time but today and since 1400 years ago, this miracle still exist and God promises that He will preserve it until The End of Time. This miracle was meant for all of us and the Jinns (Spirits) but will you still believe it or simply dismiss it?
God is now communicating to us directly with a clear message and for us to be receiving His words purely itself is a miracle. These words were delivered 1400 years ago by the Angel Gabriel to an illiterate at a time when linguistics, literature, and poetry were at its peak in Arabia. A person who wrote or spoke beautifully and eloquently was considered of high social standing among the learned. So God deliberately revealed His words during such a time to an illiterate, so that none would assume he spoke them through his own intellect and ability.
Over the span of 23 years, the Angel Gabriel delivered these words from God to Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. Whatever he heard, he would repeat word for word to the people as they listened in awe. These words were recited and those who heard it believed it was from God for it resonated deep in their hearts as they were closely related to what Jesus, Moses, Abraham and all the prophets of the past, peace be upon them all, had taught them. The people then started memorising these words, recited them along with Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, and passed them on from generation to generation. This oral tradition still exists today and many years after the death of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, they were compiled into a book, known today as the Qur'an. Since it was transpired through oral tradition, it also meant that these words, since 1400 years ago, remained alive in the memories of men and so its text was easy to reproduce over and over again in its entirety. This being one of the many reasons why Muslims considered the Qur'an to be a living miracle for it came directly from God and that it could never be destroyed.
How do we know that it is really God's words and why is it a miracle?
There are any reasons that scholars came up with but here are just my first 10 reasons.
Some of many God's attributes are that He is All-Wise and All-Knowing, so when communicating with His creation, His words are perfect, eloquent and full of knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge that encompasses things that happened in the past, that is happening now and that are about to come. Not a leaf falls in the forest without God's permission. The Qur'an talks about the beginning of time even before the first man, Adam was created until The Last Day of all creation. In also contains:
– Prophecies and Revelations.
– Words found in the Torah (Jewish Scripture) from Moses, peace be upon him.
– Words found in the Bible and the Gospel of Jesus, peace be upon him.
– Words found in the Psalms of David, peace be upon him.
– Historical accounts of events that happened in the past (E.g. how the Persians defeated the Romans)
– A full chapter on the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, peace be upon them both.
– Scientific facts and discoveries and even with some discoveries which Science has yet to uncover)
– Teaches men about ruling and socialism
– Teaches men how to distribute wealth justly
– Teaches both men and women how to protect their modesty
– Teaches men how to be just when resolving disputes
– Teaches men how to put their desires under control and find peace
– Teaches men the ethics of war
– Teaches men how to pray and worship God
– Teaches men to be charitable and to care for nature and the environment
– Teaches men to be kind and loving to their parents
– Teaches men to be successful in this life and the hereafter
and much more…
Coming from God who is All-Wise, the Qur'an has no contradictions. It is a book that has only one version with no alteration and is very clear on its message and instructions. Today one will still find the original language that the Qur'an was written in.
As mentioned before, this book lives even in the memories of men and today, out of 1.8 billion Muslims in the world, millions have memorised the Qur'an from cover to cover, making it the world's most easy book to memorise even with its lengthy text. In every country, there is at least one person who has memorised the entire book. The book consists of 6666 verses that make up a total of 144 chapters with:
- a) 1000 verses about promising (wa'ad)
- b) 1000 about threat (wa'id)
- c) 1000 command (amr) verses
- d) 1000 forbiddance (nahy) verses
- e) 1000 information and story verses
- f) 1000 warning and example verses
- g) 500 verses about ruling
- h) 100 verses about invocation and glorification
- i) 66 "nasih and mansuh" ("the abrogating and abrogated") verses
Furthermore, one can read the Qur'an from any page with the message and meaning intact for the book has no linear structure to it.
The Qur'an was revealed at a time when technology was still in its infancy. There were no microscopes or telescopes available 1400 years ago yet the Qur'an reveals Scientific facts as vast as the universe, as detailed as to how planets orbit around the Sun and the Big Bang theory to something as small and microscopic as embryology. It also covers geography, like how mountains were formed and biology, like how our skin have pain receptors.
The Qur'an is easily understood by people of all social status and educational background so much so that even an uneducated person or a child would understand its core message perfectly, that there is only one God who is The Creator of all things. It does not bid around the bush and create illustrations of other Gods nor does it say that God has a child.
The Qur'an uplifts the status of women in society and empowers them. It may come as a surprise to you but the majority of reverts to Islam today are educated women. The Qur'an also asks men to protect the inheritance of orphans and abolishes racism. One will be surprised to know that the majority of Muslims are not Arabs but non-Arabs and during the Hajj, people from all walks of life, social status and skin colour come together in prayer to complete the pilgrimage.
God describes who He is explicitly in the Qur'an and His attributes.
When listening to the recitation of the Qur'an, one will come to hear a melodious tune to it that resonates within the heart of those who believe. It is known to have softened hearts made of stones and bring tears to the eyes. It also brings people together to establish prayer in a congregation.
The Qur'an challenges men to call all his helpers and even Jinns (Spirits) to his aid in order to disprove its authenticity by reproducing a chapter or even a single verse like it. The shortest chapter, Al-Kawthar, consists of only ten words making up three verses. This challenge has stood for 1400 years and still remains undefeated. Nobody was able to reproduce a text like it with its eloquence, knowledge, structure, depth and complexity.
The Qur'an mentions that in order for us to enter paradise one simply need to believe that there is only one God and that He alone is only worthy of worship. It also mentions that many prophets and messengers were sent out to the world with this message with the last messenger being Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. If we believe in this fully and declare it, we are guaranteed paradise but that does not mean we do not have to still work hard for it. The believers will still be held accountable for their sins in the hereafter and be purified before they can enter Jannah (Paradise). God promises us in the Qur'an that the ultimate reward for the believers in paradise is to be able to see His face. For God will only physically appear before a purified soul for He is covered in shades of light.
Today, 1.8 billion Muslims celebrate the day that the Qur'an was first revealed to, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, by the Angel Gabriel.
This book is the reason why Muslims fast for a month and during Ramadan complete reciting all the words from Qur'an from cover to cover in a congregation.
This book is the reason why 1.8 billion Muslims wake up before the sunrise with their families to have a light meal together and pray before fasting for the next 14 hours.
This book is the reason why 1.8 billion Muslims pray intensively during the last third of the night and seek God's forgiveness for it was mentioned that God will be at the lowest heaven during this time to accept our repentance and to hear our supplications.
This month, our good deeds will be multiplied in many folds and our sins are forgiven.
This book reveals so, and 1.8 billion Muslims have followed it since 1400 years ago.
Do you still not see that Qur'an is a miracle before us? If you are sincerely seeking the truth and the purpose of this life then read this book. Ask any Muslim and he or she will gladly pass it to you for free or share it with you and hopefully and God Willing, you will be moved by His words even if it is only a translation.
"So indeed there has come to you clear proof from your Lord, and guidance and mercy. Who is then more unjust than he who rejects Allah's messages and turns away from them? We reward those who turn away from Our messages with an evil chastisement because they turned away."
(Qur'an, Al-Anaam, Verse 157)
Have a blessed Ramadan.

It would be a bit silly to expect the follow-up to "World's Most Wanted" to share that storyline's high octane pace and penchant for truly surprising twists, but "Stark: Disassembled" is at times almost a bit too laconic. It has featured some great character moments in previous issues; like Pepper Potts wondering why with all the people suffering casualties, Tony Stark always seems to be able to find a way around mortality; but this installment lacks that human weight as Dr. Strange (Version 1.0) arrives to help out with Tony's Resurrection. What we're left with is a few small scale storylines going on at the same time.
In one corner we have Tony's dreamscape, which while visually interesting, isn't so specific on the metaphors
that it really resonates. Also, it's just a bit too sparse in the visuals to firmly anchor its circumstance. In the other we have Maria Hill, Pepper Potts, and a few Avengers all trying to protect Tony's body as his posthumous plans are carried out. It's in this second, or "B," plot that the story is most engaging. Fraction does a great job of illustrating that the people left guarding Tony are really quite out of their league, stuck in a stairwell and kind of freaking out. One of the things Fraction has been quite adept at throughout his run is focusing a lot of attention on Stark's influence on the not-so-powerful. Not to get too high-minded, but it's quite a lovely metaphor to take someone whose "powers" reside solely in their control of external technology and extend their influence over a kind of community of protection in addition to or, in this instance, in place of, their armor. (Yeah, it's a stretch but that's the way my brain works, folks!)
It should also go without saying that Rian Hughes' graphic design and cover assist makes this storyline look like nothing else on the racks. I've often been pretty unimpressed with a lot of Marvel's uninspired logo and design work, but when they do get Rian Hughes on the case (see also: "Captain America Reborn") he always delivers, often in an even less restrained and more bold fashion than his DC work.
So, while it may not be as arresting a work as "World's Most Wanted," and a lot of its tension might be actively defused every month or so with "Siege" solicits, "Stark Disassembled" is turning out to be an intimate, slightly flawed, but still engaging read.

You have an excellent magazine and I have enjoyed being a loyal reader for many years. The latest edition of your publication had an article on the V-2, which was of special interest to me because I am writing a book on the legacy of Wernher von Braun and the German Rocket Team. I did my MA Thesis in History on the von Braun Team in 2001 and I decided to revisit the subject this year.
Since I completed my Master's Degree, a plethora of articles, books and documentaries have been produced discussing how we should reevaluate von Braun in light of his work for the German military in building the A-4/V-2. Mr. Tillman references this reality when he noted the civilian casualties from the V-2 in Britain and Western Europe. In my research I have found this issue doesn't seem to bother the current critics of von Braun. They focus on the use of slave labor at the Mittelwerk (Mittelbau/Dora) as being his cardinal sin for which he should be judged as, at best, an amoral opportunist and, at worst, a Nazi war criminal who should have been imprisoned or executed.
This subject matter is still quite controversial for those I have interviewed who worked with the von Braun team in Huntsville. There are those who are passionate defenders of von Braun and his team and there are those who are very critical with strong negative opinions about the team. Rarely have I found a "moderate" opinion on this subject. This is one reason why I appreciated the even-handed manner in which Mr. Tillman discussed the V-2 as a weapon and as a preview in what was to come for the exploration of space.
I am still caught by surprise when I encounter strong emotional reactions to this subject 70 years after the war ended. Most of the American people are not aware of Operation Paperclip. The majority of those who have heard of Paperclip only know of it in connection to von Braun and his team. We haven't had an open, informed public discussion about the ethics of bringing more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, technicians, etc., and their families to the U.S. after the war. One of the best books I have read on this subject is journalist Annie Jacobsen's "Operation Paperclip" even if her opinion of von Braun is colored by the influence of noted critic Michael Neufeld. This is an issue I'm addressing in my book about how we arrive at a realistic and balanced judgement of von Braun and his team.
This is a subject that started in WWII but was heavily influenced by the political and strategic realities of the Cold War. Walter Boyne's article, "Life Among the Nukes: A Cold War Warrior Remembers," provided a personal perspective on how dangerous that era was as we faced the very real possibility of global thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union. It's surreal to know we had almost 32,000 nuclear weapons (1966) while the Soviets built an astounding 55,000 by 1986. I'm not sure how we were able to survive the Cold War without annihilating all life on this planet but I am thankful.
I appreciate the time, effort and passion you put into each issue of Flight Journal. It is one of the few publications I get that I read from cover to cover and then reread again in the future. My special thanks to Mr. Tillman for writing about the V-2.
Robert Carver, New Orleans, LA
Wow! We love getting letters that broaden our understanding so much. Thanks. BD

After graduate school I came to New York and had a series of wonderful jobs: Media Director of an Advertising Agency, Director of Public Relations for a Museum and then on to the worlds of Fashion and Beauty for the next 20+ years.
Now having the luxury of time my next challenge was see how far I could take my interest in art (I remember as a child taking classes at the Brooklyn Museum and Pratt College). This commitment has led me to painting, both in oil and acrylic, life drawing, collage and ink drawings and printmaking which has become my primary focus. These works display my interests in both abstract and figurative images.

Insurance hassles wear down Cantabrians
More Cantabrians are seeking help to resolve earthquake insurance claims.
Canterbury Insurance Assistance Service project facilitator Lorraine Guthrie says more focus and more funding is required to speed things up.
According to inquiries by NBR, there are still 13,900 repairs to be completed under EQC's repair programme managed by Fletchers for properties with less than $100,000 damage.
Private insurers are managing another 9759 repairs or rebuilds worth more than $100,000, plus another 3084 settlements to be resolved.
Canterbury Insurance Assistance Service was commenting on the results of a Canterbury District Health Board research survey of 800 people, called the All Right project.
It reveals greater stress levels than two years ago as exhaustion over insurance wrangles sets in.
Mental health services have experienced a 35% surge of new patients since 2011 for psychiatric emergency services, and a 40% demand increase for child and youth community mental health services.
"Every month we see an average of 400 patients needing emergency psychiatric treatment," health board chief executive David Meates says.
He thinks they are the just tip of the iceberg.
There are significant differences in the wellbeing of Christchurch residents who have had their insurance claims settled and those who haven't, according to the survey.
Canterbury Insurance Assistance Service is working with around 80 claimants currently using $200,000 in funding from the Christchurch City Council ($200,000).
Facilitator Ms Guthrie says the stress and strain after more than three years is very evident in the clients they work with.
They are overwhelmed by the information collated over the past few years to the point they can no longer make sense of it, and they are highly stressed and under increasing financial pressure.
She says family relationships are affected and many clients have lost trust and confidence "in virtually everyone."
CIAS welcomes contact from homeowners via the website at www.cias.org.nz.

Researchers with a cyber security firm say they have uncovered that a hacker used access to a Canadian Internet provider to hijack large foreign networks, stealing more than US$83,000 in virtual currency.
The U.S.-based Dell SecureWorks says the hacker operated between February and May this year.
It's alleged the hacker targeted hosting firms with servers that generate Bitcoin — including Amazon in the U.S. and OVH in France — and redirected some activity.
SecureWorks says the hacker likely worked alone and was in Canada, and could be a former or then-current employee of the ISP.
The firm did not name the ISP, but says the "malicious activity" stopped after it handed the ISP its findings.
SecureWorks says it did not go to the Canadian authorities, and it is not known if the ISP has identified the hacker.

For the past two years, I've very much enjoyed being Seattlepi.com's primary sports writer in charge of covering the Seahawks, Mariners and lots of other good stuff happening in Seattle.
It's been a kick communicating with so many sports fans and followers in the area.
But change beckons and I've accepted a job with MLB.com covering the Mariners beginning next week, so today is my final day working at Seattlepi.com.
Just want to say thanks to all who have read and commented and taken part in our sports coverage. It's been a blast.

I have a confession to make… I've been cheating on my MAC fluidline! In a past post, I mentioned that MAC Fluidline was my favorite eyeliner until I encountered the Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen.
This eyeliner is unlike any other! It retails for $6.56 at you local drugstore and is available in three colors; blackest black, black and blackened brown.
This eyeliner claims:
-Felt tip controlled application
-Smudge-proof lasting color that wears up to 16 hours
-Easier to apply than traditional liquid eyeliners
Why I like it:
– ALL of the claims are TRUE!
– The felt tip is incredible with precision
– The lasting power is pretty good too! It will definitely last an entire work way.
– It is most definitely easier to apply than traditional liquid eyeliners. The felt tip applicator allows for great control of the product and the line.
– The color is a true black that does not require three coats
– Matte finish!
– Slick pencil like packaging
– Great price
What I don't like:
– I wish it existed in other colors!
– My cousin has tried this product before and mentioned that the product was not as vibrantly black in the beginning. However, she stored it upside down for over 24hrs to allow the product to go down.
All in all, this is a great product that is definitely worth spending under $7. The color, longevity and ability to create a precise line is incredible!
Let me know what you guys think of this product if you have tried it or plan on trying it.

A lot of my friends know that my favorite store is Ross. It's like a treasure hunt that requires some work but is so worth it when you find that one piece! On a recent visit to Ross I found an amazing Micheal Kors dress. Yes, you read correctly, Michael Kors! Here's the best part….
$13.99 for a $99 dress! I know what your thinking, the dress is probably out of date and not that cute…
Check this baby out! This cute color block dress is all mine and I already have a few ideas of how I am going to style it. This is the perfect holiday dress paired with some stockings, boots, cute belt and a chunky necklace.
As always, these posts are encouragement for all of my readers to go check out your local discount stores. Sometimes they are hit or miss but those hits make up for all of the misses!

My thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane Sandy. I want to share this wonderful post by Kellie with different ways for us to all help. Please check it out. We need to come together and help out as much as possible!
I received a call tonight from my sister who lives in NYC informing me that the babies in Staten Island are in need of baby formulas and diapers. As a first time mommy, it broke my heart and can't ever imagine my Zoey not having clean diapers or enough to eat. I'm doing my part (to the best of my ability) to make sure that the babies receive whatever they need through this tough time and am just so grateful that I'm in a position to be able to help.
New York and its neighboring states are suffering from the devastation caused by hurricane Sandy. Please help in any way that you can, whether big or small will be greatly appreciated.

Haphazard road construction destroying unique heritage
Myagdi, July 11: The original heritages have faced destruction with the road expansion works going on in the rural areas in Myagdi district.
The road expansion has become widespread since 2065 BS. Roads are being constructed in unplanned manner without carrying out the survey by engineers. Dozers and excavators are being used to construct the roads without considering the environmental consequences.
Haphazard road construction has also led to destruction of the historical heritages like the ancient resting shelters, chautaris (resting places for travellers) and ponds in many rural areas of the district. Yet many more such heritages are at risk due to this.
Bil Bahadur Bishwakarma, a local of Ruma, Malika rural municipality-2, said that more than 100 such ancient heritages in various places are at risk. "Rampant construction of rural roads especially in the last decade or so has destroyed many of our original heritages. It has also increased the risk of landslide and erosion," complained Bhimnath Prajuli of Galeshwar, Beni municipality-9.
According to him, more than a dozen ancient resting shelters and chautaris along the route from Beni to the border with Mustang district have been destroyed with the construction of motorable road and hotels. This road leads to Muktinath Temple, the world-famous pilgrimage site.

Bug #9641
Digest libraries are built incorrectly due to ambiguous location of "extconf.h"
This is essentially the same issue as bug #3231, "Digest Does Not Build", which has reappeared for me on CentOS 6.5 using gcc 4.4.7.
The attached patch changes the generated Makefiles so they explicitly specify the location of
extconf.h as each module's own source-code folder. This removes the ambiguity at compile time of which copy of the file should be included, the module's or its parent's, and allows the digest classes to build correctly regardless of the how the compiler prioritizes the folders in its search path. It causes no additional test failures (on my system, at least) so I believe this change is safe.
Here's the background:
Building the latest version of Ruby, either 2.1.1p76 or the head revision in Subversion, on CentOS 6.5 (x86; gcc 4.4.7) with OpenSSL headers installed succeeds but the digest classes are unusable, producing error messages at runtime like
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/i686-linux/digest/md5.so: undefined symbol: rb_Digest_MD5_Init - /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/i686-linux/digest/md5.so (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.2.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require' from test-digest-classes.rb:1:in `<main>'
The reason is modules under
ext/digest rely on generated
extconf.h files to indicate OpenSSL headers are available. However, at compile time files with this name are available in the module's own directory and the parent's, both of which are in the compiler's search path (as other header files in the parent directory are needed). For whatever reason the compiler is insisting on using the
extconf.h in the parent directory which causes each module to be misconfigured.
The result is that Ruby's own digest-algorithm implementations are not built, as the build system correctly identifies them as unnecessary, but due to the
extconf.h collision the source code assumes they are in use and therefore prepends "
rb_Digest_" to several function names. These become unresolved symbols when the system attempts to load the library.
The key to the solution is that if
extconf.h in a module's parent folder is temporarily renamed, the module will build fine and be usable. There does not appear to be any standard way of specifying to the compiler which copy it ought to use without specifying the file's full path, which is what this patch accomplishes.

Why is the file in the parent directory used?

The usual length of the actual cardiac surgery is about three and a half to four hours. However, the total length of time your family member will spend in the operating room is longer. Much of that "extra time" is spent preparing the patient for surgery and getting him or her ready to go to the recovery room (PACU) or ICU following surgery.
During the time your loved one is in the operating room, you can wait in the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute. The surgeon will look for you after your family member's surgery is finished.
When you get to the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute Atrium, please make sure to check in at the front desk. In this way, when your loved one's surgeon calls, the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute staff knows where and who you are.
If your family member's surgery occurs during hours when the Ronald O. Perelman Heart Institute Atrium is closed, then you may wait in the smaller waiting area right outside the Cardiothoracic ICU (4-West). There is also a café on the first floor of the hospital, directly opposite the information desk and down the hall from the front door on the left, which is open 24/7. This café sells coffee, tea and a variety of foods, as well as comforting soups.

There's something almost nostalgic about going to a nail salon and asking for a French manicure. If there's a classic way to do nails, the French manicure is it. Timeless, elegant, and sophisticated, French manicures are a staple at every nail salon, and continue to remain very popular with customers and on the runway.
The French manicure came about sometime early in the 20th century, but sources are unclear about whether the manicure itself was a French or an American invention. While fashion purists continue to argue the point, the manicure itself has been adopted by salons around the world, even France, as la France or the French manicure.
So, what is a French Manicure?
A French manicure is one where the nails are left to look as natural as possible. The whole process starts with the removal of nail-polish and the clipping of nails into either ovals or a rounded square. After the nails are buffed and filed into shape, the technician will usually apply a coat of pale pink polish as the base coat. The manicure is finished off when the technician paints on pretty white tips, and then applies a coat of clear polish to keep all of it in place. This, of course, is how French Manicures were done back in the day, and continue to be done today at some salons.
But if you have issues growing your nails out, have splitting nails or need acrylic nails, salons have become adept at providing those services for the French manicure as well.
Using Acrylic or Gel Tips
Generally there are two ways in which French manicures are offered in a salon. The method with acrylic or gel tips are very popular. In this method, the technician cuts and shapes your nails, and trims your cuticle. The nail-bed is then painted a pale pink after which a gel or acrylic tip is attached to the nail. Another coat of acrylic helps hold the nail together in its entirety, and sometimes, a last coat of clear polish is applied.
French manicures using acrylic and gel tips are popular because they are generally low maintenance and don't require you to grow your nails out in order to achieve this look.
Fiberglass and Acrylic Powder
Sometimes, nail salons will offer manicures that use fiberglass or acrylic powder in resin for your manicure. While these services tend to be more expensive than a general manicure, they are long lasting and look very natural.
In this process, the natural nail or an enhancement is painted pink as the base for the manicure after cutting, filing, and buffing. The white tips are then applied with either fiberglass or acrylic powder in a white resin. A 'form' is then used to form the tip with acrylic before the manicure is finished. The result looks a little more natural than simply attaching tips, and lasts a longer time.
Get one today!
There's a reason the French manicure is a fashion classic, and it's because it is appropriate for any dress or event. It immediately adds a bit of understated glamour to your life. So, what are you waiting for? Get your French manicure today!

November has arrived and as expected there have already been a few days with a bit of wet snow and the temperature dropping below freezing at night, but Mother Nature was in a good mood on the 11th and the weather was sunny with the temperature hitting the 16°C mark. Warm enough that eleven male and twelve female Autumn Meadowhawks (Sympetrum vicinum) – including one tandem pair – were flying at a marsh about ½ kilometer west of Tweed (44.46889°, -77.31528°).

Butterfly Photo Competition
8 comments:
I think your picture wins hands down Harley.ReplyDelete
It's the sharpest, and the blue sky is a great contrast to the white flower, and mostly red Peacock butterfly.
A really good picture.
For fear of your mum kicking me I'm voting for hers:) But I do like yours too.ReplyDelete
The last is my favorite, I love the colors on the butterfly, the bush and the pretty sky. Well done! Great post!ReplyDelete
I'd like to vote for No1, an absolutely fantastic picture. Love from Mum. Oh Okay then, your's is actually better with all that blue sky Harley Farley, I will give you my vote xReplyDelete
Well Harley that Buddleia bush sure lived up to it's common name of Butterfly Bush.ReplyDelete
Now, those photos!...I reckon No.1 is best at showing off the beautiful Peacock Butterfly. No.2 is the best 'arty' shot and No.3 is the best at showing off the butterfly in it's habitat (shoosh!..don't tell anyone..but it's the best one really!)...[;o)
all great shots but I really like yours best Harley!ReplyDelete
Nice composition in the last shot!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.ReplyDelete
