The concept of a clash of civilizations, popularised by Samuel Huntington, has become a cliche. Here DR MUZAFFAR IQBAL proposes an alternative reading of the contemporary historical situation.
A small gathering at the American Enterprise Institute in October 1992 was the first to hear Samuel P. Huntington express an idea that would eventually become his now-famous article "The Clash of Civilizations?", which was published in the summer 1993 issue of the journal Foreign Affairs. But even before the article appeared in Foreign Affairs, its argument was also set forth in an Occasional Paper prepared for the Olin Institute's project on "The Changing Security Environment and American National Interests". These details are important because they tell us a great deal about the institutional and personal affiliations and support behind this otherwise flawed description of the present global situation, as well as provide clues to the invisible hands behind its global projection that would take its author around the world. The article has since been expanded and "documented", and the resulting book has drawn attention from every continent and been translated into almost all major languages.
Muslim reaction to this formulation has, however, often been rather facile: some call it a statement of the agenda of the West, rather than an analysis of the current global conflict by a political scientist; others misunderstand the thesis; still others deny outright the global onslaught of one civilization against others. Only a small minority have realized that a "clash of civilizations" is, in fact, already under way (see, for example, Zafar Bangash's column "Far too late now to avert a clash of civilizations" in Crescent International, November 2003)." This recognition of what is now a self-evident global reality necessitates further reflection, as the "clash", in fact, is not of civilizations but of something much deeper and more fundamental. This article attempts firstly to show why Huntington's construction is flawed, and secondly to provide an alternate view of the global conflict through a far more fundamental construction. It is hoped that this new approach will provide a more meaningful and useful way to understand the various facets of contemporary history.
At the most superficial level, a clash of any kind, especially of civilizations, has to be a confrontation wherein there are comparable aggressive intentions in the two opposing civilizations, along with comparable material resources available to carry out the aggression. No such conditions exist today. Thus one cannot really speak of a clash of civilizations; only of the aggression of one civilization bent upon wiping out all other ways of living. This is not merely a play on words, nor a distinction based merely on semantics; it is a logical consequence of historical reality.
Second, and more importantly, to perceive the present conflict in terms of civilizations is a flawed methodology, because a civilization is not a primary entity; it is a product of another primary entity: a set of beliefs. What gives birth to a civilization is a belief system according to which specific ways of life appear in a given polity. These specific ways of life of a large social group, then, produce specific way of organizing social, political and economic activities of that polity; this, in turn, necessitates the establishment of institutions to carry out the various tasks which fulfill the commandments, customs and rites originating from the set of beliefs held sacred by that polity.
Thus seen, the "clash of civilizations" is a facile doctrine because it constructs the fault lines of the present global conflict on the basis of an outward expression of a much deeper and more fundamental entity: the belief system that gives rise to civilizations. By basing his thesis on a secondary entity – civilization – Huntington has failed to see anything deeper than a collection of cultural characteristics and phenomena or, in the words of Spengler, "the most external and artificial states" of a given people.
Once the focus is shifted to belief systems, rather than civilizations, we can see a dimension to current global realities which remains inaccessible if the conflict is viewed only as a civilizational phenomenon. This gain is not a superficial accretion; rather, it gives us the necessary tools to identify the real fault lines, and hence a proper understanding of the global situation. In other words, in order to understand the contemporary flow of events, we need to understand their source; the source of all action is belief. Thus, we need to explore the following questions: how do belief systems originate, and how do they become sacred for a given populace? We know that civilizations evolve, decay and disintegrate, but does a belief system also go through the same process? What is the belief system upon which contemporary Western civilization is based? Where did it come from? And what are the belief systems of the other civilizations with which the Western civilization is said to be clashing? Where did they come from? It is through these questions that we can begin to understand major flaws in Huntington's formulation and also develop an alternative view.
To begin with, let us note that the belief system that produced the contemporary Western civilization first emerged in Europe around 1500 AD and since then has gone through numerous internal transformations. Its geographical expansion took it to North America, Australia and New Zealand. It is also to be noted that there are, indeed, various shades and hues of values, customs and beliefs in the societies and cultures which make up the fabric of contemporary Western civilization, but the concerns and values common to people who live in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America – the geographical region of Western civilization – have similarities which make these societies a civilizational unit, based on a specific belief system. The diversity of the contemporary West, then, is a diversity that is constrained within the broad framework of a common belief system.
Let us look next at the formation of this belief system. It arose through two revolutions: one in the natural sciences; the other through a reconstruction of Christianity. The former sought to achieve control over the physical world, the latter redefined values, ethics and worldview in order to establish a Kingdom of Man on earth. These two revolutions are intertwined. The scientific revolution of the seventeenth century, and the accompanying movement that sought to replace the older manifestations of Christianity with a new constructions, both originated in Europe, crossed the Atlantic and begat the contemporary West. This is the basis of a deeply felt and frequently expressed alliance between the peoples of Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. This view does not discount their differences, nor does it take away anything from regional cultures; it merely restates their common foundational basis and pedigree.
It is not the intention of this brief article to recount the stages through which the belief system now operative in the West has passed since its emergence in Europe, but it needs to be noted that it is a product of a series of revolts and revolutions. The revolt against the Catholic Church, the Protestant Reformation and Counter Reformation, the French and the American Revolutions, the rise of humanism, the Scientific and the Industrial Revolutions and a host of other minor movements have all contributed to the development of these beliefs. In addition, an amalgamation of other ideologies and "isms", such as liberalism, humanism and feminism, have contributed to the rise of this belief system.
At the most basic level, this system is anchored in the belief that human reason is the ultimate arbitrator of all affairs. Thus it gives to human reason the authority to define good and evil, enact laws, and establish criteria for ethics, values and goals. In a revolt against centuries-old beliefs, the West wrestled with all manifestations of Divine authority, and succeeded taking for man a degree of freedom, power and autonomy that made him the measure of all things. This newly empowered human will thus became the arbitrator and measure of all social change. This change removed God from the central position He held as the Giver of Law and as the focal point of all human activity. This same process of revolt then empowered institutions such as parliaments to redefine societal structures, the nature of the relationships between individuals (for example the definition of marriage), as well as that between the individual and the state. Through this process, many practices that used to be considered despicable, sinful and prohibited gained "legality", acceptance and permissibility. This made it possible for numerous Christian sects and churches to accept various moral aberrations as religiously lawful, morally valid and socially acceptable. In order to remain in tune with the times, the custodians of these Churches had to change their doctrines and beliefs accordingly.
This transformed belief system now operative in the West, and the civilization that is based upon it, claim universality for themselves. This claim to universality asserts that the cultures, values and ideals that have come into existence on the basis of this belief system are the most advanced form of human achievement. Furthermore, it claims that its political, economic and social systems, and institutions are the destiny of mankind. This claim is neither a localized phenomenon, nor a tacit or passive self-understanding; it is an aggressive contention that is expressed at various levels, through many means by the ideologues, politicians and intellectuals of this civilization. Seen from their perspective, the Western civilization presents to humanity the most advanced, most progressive and the most desirable way of life. They contend that it is only the tyrannical rule of certain individuals or groups that is preventing the spread of the "fruits" of their civilization to the poor, underdeveloped and uneducated people; and if these regimes could be removed, the oppressed people of these countries would welcome this civilization with open arms.
This self-assessment, and the ingrained self-righteousness it engenders, are accompanied by a multi-billion dollar effort to spread the "fruits" of the Western civilization to the rest of the world through domination, control and occupation. This, the most massive and aggressive march of any civilization that human history has ever witnessed, is also viewed as the most natural outcome, as if the self-proclaimed fittest civilization has a birthright to extinguish all other civilizations as a process of natural selection. This extrapolation of the doctrine of "the survival of the fittest" into the domain of civilizations is based on the assumed superiority of three basic doctrines held sacrosanct by the West: democracy, individual liberty and free-market economy. It is these three components of the Western civilization which are now being exported to the rest of the world because they are considered to be the universal aspiration of the entire human race.
Of all nations which fall within the sphere of the Western civilization, the United States of America has achieved a unique role with its technological and economic power. It now stands as the embodiment of this civilization, and thus its self-assumed right to rule the world is reflected in various spheres of contemporary life – from its military adventures to its insatiable desire to export the American way of life to the rest of the world.
While he was in office, Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (1995-1999) wrote an article called "America's right to world leadership", in which he claimed:
only America can lead the world. America remains the only global, universal civilization in the history of mankind. In the space of less than 300 years, our system of representative democracy, individual liberties, personal freedoms and free enterprise has provided the foundation for the greatest economic boom in history. Our value system is emulated around the world. Our technology has revolutionized mankind's way of living and has been the primary force for globalization.
This declaration should not be taken lightly; it is not the statement of an upstart politician. It is the belief of the author of "Contract with America", a manifesto of the American rightwing, which Newt Gingrich signed along with 367 other Republicans at the doorsteps of the Capitol on September 27, 1994, a few weeks before the midterm Congressional elections of November 1994, in which the Republicans won a majority in the US Congress for the first time in 40 years. It is also important because Gingrich represents a new brand of American activism.
Before attempting to formulate the real contours of the "clash", let us note in passing that despite the unilateralism of certain recent military invasions, America is not alone in asserting the universality of the Western civilization. This assessment is shared by all countries that perceive themselves as being part of Western civilization. Their mutual differences exist only in the realms of methods, strategies and tactics. Thus no one should be deluded by these superficial differences about how the propagation of the Western civilization should be achieved. The facts that all Western nations share a common belief system, and that their self-assessment is also a shared phenomenon, can be gleaned from the behaviour of Germany and France before and during the recent invasion of Iraq. Despite their vocal opposition to the unilateral actions of the US, these governments did nothing to stop the aggression; rather, at crucial junctures before, during and since the US invasion, they repeatedly abandoned the public stands they had earlier taken. Their record suggests that their current opposition to the US occupation of Iraq is merely a bargaining tool for "reconstruction" contracts.
The root of the real "clash" that is a current global reality lies in two claims to universality. We have already seen how the belief system that sired the modern Western civilization claims to be universal; another belief system with a similar claim is Islam. Islam's claim to universality is simply expressed in the Qur'anic statement that it is a message for all people (7:158). It should also be noted here that the Qur'an claims to be the continuation of, and completion of, earlier Divine Revelations, and places itself in the grand tradition of other Revealed Books, with the important distinction that it was revealed to complete all earlier manifestations of a single Divinely ordained religion, al-Islam, and that it corrects the erroneous beliefs and practices that have crept into earlier belief systems through the corruption of the revealed messages or through their eclipse.
The civilization that came into existence on the basis of the message of the Qur'an – the Islamic civilization – now does not possess military and economic strength comparable to the West, but it still holds that its belief system is the only valid one, and that it is for all of humanity. This claim is not presently asserted through any material prosperity and strength, but simply on the basis of the Qur'anic claim that it is a protected message, eternally safe in the "well-guarded tablet" (85:22), accessible to all through the "uncorrupted and incorruptible Book", the actual Words of God, addressed to all human beings. This belief is simply unshakeable. Hence a materially superior West finds itself face to face with a civilization that had its golden days of strength and power but is now much reduced, yet refuses to accept the universalist claim of a civilization stronger in military and economic terms by several orders of magnitude. That is not all. This exhausted polity, now standing in the way of a universal expansion of Western civilization, itself believes that it will achieve a similar universal expansion because of a Divine promise that, in the end, it is the Truth that prevails. This, then, is the dialectic foundation of the contemporary conflict, erroneously called a "clash of civilizations".
A word must be said about the advantages of this construction as opposed to the view that posits the current global realities in terms of a "clash of civilizations". There are several important advantages to this construction:

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
This article will show you how to write applications to allow SMS messages to be sent from within your Windows computer. All you need is a Windows Mobile device (with a valid SIM card for sending SMS messages) and a syncing cable. Figure 1 shows the flow of the applications that you'll build in this article.
How It Works
To send SMS messages from within your Windows computer, you first connect your Windows Mobile device to your computer using ActiveSync. This allows the Windows computer to communicate with the device. You will write two applications: One for the device sending your messages and another for the desktop on which you'll compose them.
These two applications will communicate with each other using TCP/IP. But how do they know each others' IP addresses? The trick lies in understanding that when your device is connected to the computer using ActiveSync, it acts as a DHCP server and assigns a fixed IP address to the host computer. This IP address is: 169.254.2.2. The two applications can now rendezvous at this IP address.

Anne of Green Gables Art Print – Quotes Nursery Decor
Raspberry Cordial after Apple Picking, Kids Wall Decor
Anne of Green Gables Nursery Art Print ~ Wall Decor in which Addie as Anne, Bunny (playing the role of Marilla) and Miss Kitty as Diana have found a comfy spot to enjoy afternoon tea with Marilla's famous Raspberry Cordial. "Here you go, Diana," Anne poured a glass of Marilla's Raspberry Cordial for her best friend and one for herself. "It's positively the best thing I've ever tasted." Diana (aka Miss Kitty) was not terribly enthralled with the cordial as Addie. It was sweet smelling, not at all like the tasty vittles she'd been expecting. Still maybe just a few sips, and a few sips after that.

Wooden bow ties (also known as have become the some of the most attractive and stylish accessories for the modern, style conscious man (and woman). Demanded provides a select range of wooden bow ties Australia wide and to our international customers also. Our selection of wooden bow ties has been carefully selected from our range of suppliers and tested to ensure an exceptional level of quality and style, ensuring you appear at your best at all times, and for a long time. The perfect way to stand out just enough, whilst not being too overstated, a wooden bow tie will make those around you smile, whilst communicating that you definitely know what you are doing, style wise. Additionally, they make the most amazing gifts for those who have everything, or those who you have no idea what to buy for. Since there is not a plethora of information about wooden bow ties, why not read on and get yourself educated on all that is the wooden bow tie.
Probably the most popular type of wooden tie in Australia, and for that matter, the rest of the world, is the traditional wooden bow tie. Sporting the original dual-triangle shape of a more traditional bow tie, often with a fabric detail in the centre of the tie, as seen in the pictures shown, and featured on all Demanded's wooden bow ties (except those with sandalwood details). WOODEN BOW TIES Being the most subtle step away from the traditional bow tie, a traditional wooden bow tie is the 'safest bet' when entering the world of wooden neckwear, or when purchasing a gift for a friend/colleague you don't know 'that well' but sense would really appreciate a unique gift such as a wooden necktie.
Maintaining the same shape of the traditional bow tie, however taking it a step further, a hollow wooden bow tie is the perfect option for some. The hollow piece of neckwear is sure to turn heads and peak attention perhaps a little more than a traditional wooden bow tie, and if your shirt is the main piece of your outfit, sporting some impeccable patterning, this is the necktie for you. In our experience, hollow wooden bow ties have been very popular as gift ties. We have sent many of these as gifts to bosses, boyfriends, colleagues, friends and more. These have been very popular gift wooden bow ties Australia wide.
For some men, a moustache wooden bow tie is literally, the most masculine men's accessory possible. We cannot verify this but, if Ron Swanson had a bow tie, it would be a moustache-shaped wooden bow tie. From a conversation starter, to a creator of man-envy, this is a must have, even for a man who would turn his nose up at any bow tie at all, and make incredible gifts for a bro, or for the man in your life.
Adding another level of design to your wooden bow tie, patterning the actual wood in the tie, is engraved wooden bow ties where the wood is also engraved with a pattern or a skyline, as has been made famous by the Two Guys Bow Ties Company. The most popular engraving in wooden bow ties, is a simple spotted pattern, where spots are engraved and often exposing darker wood, appear in a large polka-dot fashion. This engraving adds an additional degree of personalisation to the the necktie, and can really make the tie even more of a statement piece for the wearer. Additionally, finding an engraving with specific meaning, can really make an engraved wooden bow tie an accessory that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Weddings Wooden bow ties have become a huge hit for weddings, giving the groom to be able to elevate his look from just a suit and tie, to something truly memorable, and often in doing so, providing his groomsmen with an amazingly memorable gift. For many weddings with a vintage, outdoor or natural vibe, a wood bowtie is the perfect option, and can often be matched to the wood of the trees in the area, say for an outdoor wedding, and having this connection to the venue and moment, as many couples would ditch the wedding accessories, with a wooden bow tie, you have a tangible memory of the day that can be passed down through the family.
Sure to make a statement, and to get those around you smiling, wood bowties are an incredible way to make any party outfit really pop, especially when well matched with your other attire. Perhaps the best place to really be able to wear some of your more adventurous wooden bow ties, for example a moustache-shaped or engraved wooden bow tie. Whether you take a more 'traditional' route or are more adventurous in your wooden tie selection, you are sure to be remembered, and add something special to any party you attend.
Having provided wooden bow ties for events held by companies such as Coke (Blends & Beats in Melbourne, Australia) for their product launch of Coke with Coffee, the feedback we get is phenomenal.

OKLAHOMA CITY - When you're retired, it can be difficult to make ends meet.
More than 25 million Americans over the age of 60 are living with limited assets and incomes below $30,000 a year.
However, there are resources available to seniors in need.
Food assistance: Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, previously called 'food stamps,' can help pay for groceries. The average monthly SNAP benefit is around $126 per person. Other programs like The Emergency Food Assistance Program, Commodity Supplemental Food Program and the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program may also be available.
Health care: Medicaid and Medicare Savings Programs can help or completely pay for out-of-pocket health-care costs. And there are special Medicaid waiver programs that provide in-home care and assistance.
Prescription drugs: There are hundreds of programs offered through drug companies, government agencies and charitable organizations that help reduce or eliminate prescription drug costs, including the federal low-income subsidy known as "Extra Help" that pays premiums, deductibles and prescription copayments for Medicare Part D prescription drug plan beneficiaries.
Utility assistance: The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, along with local utility companies and charitable organizations, provide assistance in lowering home heating and cooling costs.
Supplemental Security Income: SSI provides monthly payments to very low-income seniors as well as people who are blind or disabled. SSI pays up to $733 per month for a single person and $1,100 for couples.
The National Council on Aging has created an easy service to locate and apply for the benefits.

I think my new look on the blog has a bit to do with my overall feeling right now, a bit blue. I have always called it "getting the sads". I am usually pretty bubbly and fun, (alright sometimes a bit irritable and cross) but usually quite cheery, every so often I get the sads. I almost feel as if I just need to let my smile rest for a little while. Usually a good long walk in the woods fixes it for me or it just goes away in a day. I think I have been a bit nature deprived of late, it's not snowy enough to draw me out yet to cold and dreary to want to go out either. Tomorrow we are headed down to the Field Museum and maybe a side trip to Shedd Aquarium. If you are from in town than take note that all the Museums downtown are free this week and many of them have free days on Monday and Tuesday throughout January and February. If you are from out of town then make a trip to the Chicago to see these gems. They are wonderful and the setting on the lakefront can't be missed, even when it's 20 degrees outside.
Maybe I'll get some nice, (film pictures) to show of our outing.
Until then enjoy this picture chosen from a random CD-ROM in my collection. (Look for more of these random pics until the camera comes back)

Timberland Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR - Men's
The Men's Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR has been discontinued. If you're looking for something new, check out the best hiking boots for 2020.
Historic Range: $69.71-$139.95
After trekking about 80 km in Himalaya at altitudes 2000-4500m, both boots' soles were broken. If you need something certain and reliable in mountains, never buy these boots. Of course, I got my money back but I couldn't buy new boots in Himalayan mountains.
After reading glowing reviews in Backpacker, I ordered a pair of these boots from a popular camping retailer. The boots arrived with the lower eyelets inconsistently placed relative to the rubber rand. Note that the problem was not the asymmetrical lacing design, it was poor workmanship/quality control. Believing this could be an indicator of less visible flaws, I returned the boots.
The 2nd pair from the same retailer arrived with the same problem, with variation in alignment even between the two pairs. I ordered the 3rd pair from Timberland and received yet another pair with the the same problem. After numerous requests directly to Timberland to have a pair inspected before shipment, I was told that could not be done. I even went so far as to provide photos of two of the pairs showing the issue I was describing. After one last attempt to have Timberalnd address the problem, I was left with no alternative but to return them yet again.
I then ordered a pair of Asolo boots and have been very please with them. The worst part of this whole experience was the company's complete lack of concern that their product was being delivered with such poor workmanship and their lack of willingness to take a simple step to retain a long-time Timberland customer. Not any more.
All Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR versions
In addition to the 2 men's reviews above, there are 2 reviews for other versions of the Cadion Mid Gore-Tex XCR. Read all reviews »

text: Anyone seen anything to suggest that there will be a serious challenge to a Froome led SKy team in the TDF yet? Apart from illness and bad luck, it looks like SKy could have won every race I've seen on Eurosports so far this year.

One important thing I think you should know about the human race, we mess up. We do this regularly, sometimes moderately, and very often spectacularly, but we ALL do it.
To Err is Human
Whilst the above phrase has fallen out of favour lately, the phrase "who did the risk assessment on this?" is very much on the up. This, and the continuing popularity of "who can I sue for this?" have resulted in a tendency to try to apportion blame in any given situation.
There is another lesser-known saying that I think applies quite aptly here:
Mistakes are part of the natural world, and need acceptance for what they are. Attempting to eradicate all errors is like trying to wipe out flies – Firstly, it can't be done, secondly, if it could, sure you might enjoy a drink outside, free from the winged-pesterers for a week or two, but shortly after the whole eco-system would collapse and die in a horrible chain-reaction.
Errors have their place in the world, they are educators. They happen so that we can learn from them.
My Bad
As you know I myself am very risk-averse, so my mistakes tend to be limited to small embarrassments. For example, the other day I came out of a shop and I tried to get back into the wrong car, inadvertently causing the startled elderly couple in the Mitsubishi Estate to think carjacking had reached rural Staffordshire.
Some people (i.e. Daddy) would say I should have checked whether the car was ours BEFORE trying to scramble in. Of course, I SHOULD have, but I DIDN'T. I will next time though because that mistake has taught me a valuable lesson; look before you leap.
Other people, who are not as risk-averse as me, may unfortunately make more life-changing mistakes. Perhaps, they weren't lucky enough to be parented by the weird tag-team I had growing up, where one made me learn my fire-exits in every building I entered, and the other dangled me over a 300-foot-drop to show me that heights were "nothing to be afraid of".
Some people might jump or fall off things that they shouldn't have climbed. Some might not take out insurance and then lose all their stuff. Some people work in jobs where one mistake can cost someone else their health, or even their life. Whatever their mistake was, it was still a mistake, an error, not a malicious act.
I'm not saying don't sue, or that people shouldn't pay due care and attention to what they're doing, or that there aren't irresponsible, dangerous, people out there (Grandad). I'm just saying that everyone makes mistakes.
Perhaps for those irresponsible people (for example the kind of person that would dangle a 12-year-old over a castle's retaining wall) we could introduce some kind of three strikes rule? On their third "mistake" we're allowed to get properly angry at them.
Forgive Your Own Mistakes
The most important thing I'm trying to say is, if you make a mistake, be kind to yourself. Don't waste time beating yourself up for mistakes you have made but couldn't help making.
No matter how much you think about something that has already happened, nothing can make it un-happen, and if you didn't deliberately do it, how could you have deliberately not done it?
To err is human, and entirely out of your control. Don't give yourself such a hard time, because they'll always be someone out there more than willing to do that for you.

Often the worst part of a mental illness is not the illness itself but the societal shunning that results from it. Mental illness hits 20% of Americans every year, but because of shame and stigma, many never seek the help they need.
There's no shame in mental illness. Most highly intelligent, creative people have one or another form of it. The damage is done by keeping it hidden, where it festers, warps, grows, and takes over the soul. Open up to the world. Never worry alone.
Stigma and the recent suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain are some of the topics Dr. Hallowell discusses in his video on Stigma Takes Lives.
Let's start a grassroots movement to eliminate the stigma and shame associated with mental illness.

Reds starter Matt Harvey discussed his raised velocity against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday and whether he thought it would be his final time pitching for the Reds. The MLB Trade Deadline is Tuesday.
Roughly 24 hours from the Tuesday 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline, Cincinnati Reds President of Baseball Operations Dick Williams wasn't overly optimistic that the team would make a move.
"We're working on some stuff," he said. "It's still hard to handicap whether we'll have some deals done by tomorrow. We're working on a couple of different things."
A few weeks ago, it would be hard to imagine the Reds not making a trade or two. But the trade market has been less than robust, the Reds aren't in fire-sale mode and teams have not been beating down the door to get Matt Harvey.
Harvey remains the most likely Red to be traded. Williams would not address Harvey specifically. But sources confirm what Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic and others have reported: Despite a nice run over 14 starts with the Reds, Harvey isn't getting a lot of interest.
Harvey, 29, is a free agent after the season. The Reds will get nothing in compensation if he leaves via free agency, and Williams expects Harvey to test the market.
Harvey is 5-4 with a 4.44 ERA as a Red and has had only one terrible start. But he struggled over his last 2 ½ seasons with the New York Mets.

It's possible that Reds Owner Bob Castellini would want to keep Harvey beyond the deadline if teams were offering mid-range prospects for Harvey.
Harvey could also be traded after Tuesday's deadline, but he would have to get through waivers to do so. He's only making $5.625 million this year, but the field of contenders is likely to thin by mid-August, making it less likely for teams to claim Harvey.
The other players reportedly drawing interest are relievers Raisel Iglesias, Jared Hughes and David Hernandez. The Reds control Iglesias for the next two years, and Hughes and Hernandez for the next year.
Williams said he would be reluctant to move Hughes and Hernandez.
"We would be opportunistic," Williams said. "But they've been really good contributors, and they're signed to really good deals, and they would be hard to replace.
"If I thought our contending window was many years down the road, we'd be shopping them. Now, we would only move them if it was a deal that made us better in the relative near term."
Other players the Reds would consider parting with are outfielders Billy Hamilton, who they nearly traded in the offseason, and Adam Duvall.
But the trade market has been quiet in general.
"On our end, we've been working on a few possibilities," Williams said. "But it doesn't seem as frantic as it was in prior years."
Part of that is the position the Reds are in. Harvey is the only significant player on the brink of free agency.
"We have a lot of players we like and have control over and haven't put them into play," Williams said. "That's part of the reason we haven't been as busy as if we put up a For Sale sign out in the front yard.
"We're focused on trying to build."

Rare bird book makes an Abebooks record of $191,000
AbeBooks has sold a rare 1765 ornithology book for $191,000, making it the most expensive item in its 19-year history.
The book, Storia naturale degli uccelli trattata con metodo e adornata di figure intagliate in rame e miniate al naturale, normally translated and shortened to A Natural History of Birds, was published in Florence in Italian in five volumes. It contains 600 beautiful hand-colored engraved plates of birds. Commissioned by Maria Luisa, the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, the book took ten years to complete. This copy's fine condition coupled with the fact that only ten complete copies have been offered at auction in the past 40 years, helped assure a record price.
Here is the bookseller's description: Together 10 volumes. Folio (19 x 15 inches). 6 plate volumes: 600 EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved plates with original hand-colour after Manetti, Lorenzi and Vanni (a few plates loose, one or two marginal stains, top outer corner of plates 100 and 101 affected by damp, plates 197 and 198 torn in upper margin, plates 221 and 225 with repaired tears (without loss), plates 267 and 336 slightly shorter,). 4 (of 5) text volumes: elaborately engraved half-titles by Lorenzi after Giuseppe Zocchi, 2 letterpress title-pages with engraved vignettes, one in Latin and one in Italian in each volume, parallel text in Latin and Italian, engraved allegorical plate by Lorenzi in volume IV, descriptions for 480 birds (small wormhole on first leaf in text volume I without loss, r1 and T1 of text volume I with marginal repairs).
Contemporary speckled calf backed marbled paper boards, the spines in six compartments with five raised bands, red morocco lettering-piece in the second, the others with gilt-ruled borders and small decorations (a bit scuffed, but attractive). Provenance: with the contemporary gilt initials "F.B." at the foot of each spine; remains of later printed paper shelf labels at the foot of each spine, early shelf-marks to endpapers. First edition of a great 18th-century ornithological book. Manetti was a physician and director of the Florentine Botanical Gardens from 1749-1782.
Manetti worked almost exclusively from real specimens, beginning with the extensive collection of Marquis Giovanni Gerini. The result was one of the largest surveys of ornithology attempted up to that date, a work which became 'the flamboyant forerunner of the splendid ornithological folios which were to appear in the nineteenth century. The production of its five massive folio volumes must have been one of the most remarkable publishing ventures ever undertaken in Florence. Begun in 1767 and completed ten years later, it was larger, better engraved and more vividly coloured than any previous book on birds', notable for its lively posturing of the specimens which seem to reflect 'the habits and mannerisms of contemporary Italian society' (Dance p.70); Nissen IVB 588; Wood p.450; Fine Bird Books p.10; Zimmer I, 241. Bookseller Inventory # 72nhr128
Certainly all of this is worth following up. Feather by feather, leaf by leaf, tome by tome: this is how we discover the world.

Precious Greek manuscripts now readable online
The British Library has digitised more than a quarter of its Greek manuscripts (284 volumes) and made them freely available online at
www.bl.uk/manuscripts. The groundbreaking project was funded by a grant from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. Researchers have access to high quality digital images of a major part of the Greek manuscripts collection, with metadata which enables them to search using key words.
The British Library holds over 1000 Greek manuscripts, over 3000 Greek papyri and a comprehensive collection of early Greek printing. These collections make the Library one of the largest and most important centres outside Greece for the study of over 2000 years of Hellenic culture. The Greek manuscripts contain unique and outstandingly rich information for researchers working on the literature, history, science, religion, philosophy and art of the whole of the Eastern Mediterranean in the Classical and Byzantine periods.
The Greek manuscripts that have been digitised provide witnesses of the rich culture of the Greek-speaking peoples from the time of the Iliad and Odyssey throughout the Hellenistic, early Christian, Byzantine and Ottoman eras and beyond. They are fundamental to understanding of the Classical and Byzantine world.
Highlights include:
The Theodore Psalter
– Produced in Constantinople in 1066, this highly illustrated manuscript of the Psalms is arguably the most significant surviving manuscript illuminated in Constantinople. It is one of the greatest treasures of Byzantine manuscript production and of pivotal importance for the understanding of Byzantine art. Made for Abbot Michael of the Studios monastery there, it is named after its scribe and illuminator, the monk Theodore who produced 435 marginal illustrations that act as a commentary on the text of the Psalms.
Illuminated Gospels
-A late 12th century gospel book which is rare because of its integration of images of Christ's life into the Gospels. Whereas portraits of the evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, became a traditional feature of copies of the Gospels in Greek, narrative images were much less frequently included. This manuscript contains 17 narrative images of the life of Christ and the saints in addition to the four evangelist portraits.
Dialogues of Lucian
– This early 10th century manuscript is the oldest surviving manuscript of the works of second-century author Lucian. The text of the Dialogues is accompanied by marginal commentaries, or scholia, in the hand of the first owner of the manuscript, Arethas of Patrae, Archbishop of Caesarea from 902. They illustrate the deep interest of a prominent Byzantine churchman in classical antiquity and its pagan literature.
Babrius's fables
– The discovery of this manuscript on Mount Athos in 1842 gave rise to the first edition of Babrius's fables in 1844 and this manuscript remains the principal source for this text. It contains 123 Aesopic fables and was corrected by the great Byzantine scholar, Demetrius Triclinius.
Breviarium Historicum
– A late 9th-century manuscript of the history of the Byzantine Empire from the death of the Emperor Maurice in 602 to 713, by Nicephorus, Patriarch of Constantinople. Only one other manuscript of this history survives and is kept in the Vatican Library. These two manuscripts preserve a very rare attempt by a Byzantine author to write what would be accepted as proper history.
Scot McKendrick, Head of History and Classical Studies at the British Library, said: "This website offers everyone, wherever they may be in the world, the opportunity to engage for the first time with over 100,000 pages of newly digitised, unique manuscripts which provide direct insights into the rich written legacy of the Greeks of classical antiquity, Byzantine times, the Renaissance and beyond. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation, which funded this project, has generously agreed to fund a second phase and we look forward to presenting a further 250 manuscripts in full in 2012."
Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, said: "The British Library has one of the world's great collections of Greek manuscripts. This is exactly what we have all hoped for from new technology, but so rarely get. It opens up a precious resource to anyone – from the specialist to the curious – anywhere in the world, for free. We should all be very grateful to the generosity of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and to the enterprise of the British Library. I'm looking forward to a new wave of fascinating and important work on this material, made possible by this new electronic open access."

Find out what happened when we used pyka_loop to help young actors develop deeper connections with theatre spaces through the medium of sound.
In April, we had the tremendous pleasure of being involved in Connections - the National Theatre's nationwide youth theatre festival. Each year it offers a unique opportunity for youth theatres and school theatre groups to stage new plays written for young people by some of theatre's most exciting playwrights and provides groups with the opportunity to perform in leading venues across the UK.
pyka were invited to Sherman Theatre in Cardiff, one of the festival's host theatres, to provide groups with the chance to explore creative digital sound in the context of the theatre. From soundtrack music to descriptive foley, dramatic monologues to raucous applauds, sound plays a crucial role in theatres - both onstage and offstage. The aim of our sessions was to get our young participants thinking about and exploring these sounds, and help them develop a wider connection with venues that serve as a home to their artistic practice.
Firstly the groups were introduced to our sound app pyka_loop. Working in a flexi-space backstage in the theatre, our participants were introduced to the basics of digital audio recording and interaction. Throughout the initial training, we covered recording etiquette and normalisation, as well as useful functionality such as looping, pitch shifting, filtering, and panning. We also began to look deeper into the mechanics of sound. With several members of the theatre groups starting to record each other rehearsing lines from their scripts, it only felt natural for us to twist the world of spoken word and dive into the realms of reverse audio:
(...oh and for the record, we don't feel that there's anything wrong with the name Barry whatsoever!)
Following this, equipped with their newfound digital audio skillset, the groups were then taken on tours around the theatre to capture sounds within the app. Visiting key spaces at the venue, the participants were encouraged to discover, create, and even perform sounds in the spaces, highlighting their professional or personal connections with the venue.
Catherine Palmer, researcher at National Theatre Connections attended one of our sessions:
"As part of the Sherman Theatre Connections Festival, I was able to join pyka's workshops introducing young people to features of pyka_loop and offering them an opportunity to practically explore these in small groups. One of my key observations was that the exploration of technology offered a bridge for young people from different groups, life experiences, and parts of the country to communicate through a shared commonality. The technology is new, exciting, and accessible putting creative exploration, collaboration, and process at the heart of the approach as opposed to focusing on the final product produced.
In this spirit, young people were asked to find and make sounds around the theatre building to create a soundscape in their groups. Initially, in the foyer, there was cautiousness and lacking of ownership over the space. There was a sense that the young people did not feel they had the right to or were not entitled to take up space, touch things and make sounds. I think this behavior evidences the many ways young people are marginalised within society with their occupation of space viewed as negative and discouraged. It also evidences young people's increasing lack of engagement with cultural spaces as access to arts education and opportunities are diminishing.
The Connections festival provides an important opportunity for young people to create a relationship to their local professional theatre and be supported to perform there. However, I felt that the pyka_loop workshop added an entirely new layer to young people's sense of entitlement and belonging to cultural spaces. Through the task, I observed that young people became more confident in exploring the space as their creativity, bravery, and ability to work unaccompanied by practitioners grew. The technology of pyka_loop is incredibly exciting and captivating in its ability to offer a new approach to young people's engagement with the arts." Catherine Palmer, Researcher, National Theatre.
After the soundhunting, the groups reflected on pyka_loop and discussed how it could be utilised to support their artistic practice. Many novel ideas emerged: from using the app as a digital foley board to soundtrack performances, to recording sounds of their body to enhance unique and expressive physical theatre performances.
Ultimately, all of the sessions resulted in a large sound sample library consisting of a wide range of sounds captured and created by our young participants, which leaves us with only one more thing to say...
...after all of their hard work and creative explorations, we're proud to announce Snarey Stage Skwak, the latest _looper release now available the world over on all major music streaming services.
Bravo guys. Encore!

In areas that are super cold, and the snow is not so wet, put a little water on them or warm the snow a bit with a heater to give it some dampness. However, if you give it a lot of moisture and leave them for very long(e.g.overnight), they will turn into ice balls and become dangerous, so be sure to use the snowballs as soon as you make them.
The amount of snow that is put into the Snowball-maker will be the right amount if you line up the table edge the Snowball-maker is on with the red line. Use the back of the scoop to hit the snow and shave it to get the right height. Also, remember to remove the excess snow that collects under the Snowball-maker so that more snow can fall off easily.
Place your foot on the upper lid of the Snowball-maker and press. Do not keep your foot in one place but move it around and change the area you press to get an even ball. Continue pressing until all of the excess snow has fallen off and you begin to hear the grind of the upper lid of the Snowball-maker and the table below.

VertitechIT opens new headquarters at Holyoke's Open Square
HOLYOKE – John Aubin and VertitechIT are pleased to announce the establishment of VertitechIT's new headquarters at Open Square.
The national IT networking and consulting firm is moving in March to a new, custom designed and built work space in Open Square, a mixed-use office, retail, and event complex located in a historic 19th-century mill along Holyoke's Upper Canal.
VertitechIT, based in temporary quarters at Open Square since May 2013, will occupy an office environment created for it by architect/builder John Aubin. The new headquarters will provide 3,557 square feet of work and meeting space, configured to maximize secure, private areas for consultation plus an open, flexible floor area for operations.
VertitechIT, a 13-year-old consultancy that specializes in managing IT infrastructure for the healthcare industry, large and small businesses, and private equity firms, decided to upgrade to a custom-built environment after experiencing significant growth during the past two years. In addition to its Open Square headquarters, VertitechIT maintains regional offices in Connecticut, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Michael Feld, VertitechIT's CEO, notes that the company's new base "gives us a home and a reason to invite clients on-site. From a technical standpoint, it gives our people the ability to better manage our infrastructure and have the workspace conducive to communicating with clients in a more secure and private environment."
Aubin's design emphasizes simplicity and aesthetic satisfactions in the built environment, combining quality materials with subtle geometric stylings, like gently curved walls and extended sightlines. Highlights of Aubin's design for VertitechIT include:
• Three private offices for secure communications within the main work area;
• Flowing, open areas featuring three main work "pods" or islands creatively;
configured to enhance collaboration
• Unique curved inner walls, a signature of Aubin's accessible modern design, that are mounted with whiteboards, providing ample work surfaces within the pods;
• A curved conference room whose central position in the floorscape crowns an environment emphasizing VertitechIT's collective brainpower and commitment to creating solutions.
"The design of an office headquarters makes an important statement about a company's vision and brand," Feld said. "Our office space needs to reflect a company that melds the old and the new, and is a home for smart, creative thinkers and problem solvers. Our office design and furnishings are critical in setting the tone for both our clients and our people."
Open Square, located in Holyoke's Canal District, is architect John Aubin's Urban Laboratory for architecture, planning, sustainability, and private sector economic development. Since 2004, the 685,000-square-foot zero-net-energy mill complex has become home to more than 50 businesses.

Navio-Museu Santo AndréMuseum Check location
The Navio-Museu Santo Adré is one of the poles of the Museu Marítimo de Ílhavo. Built in 1948 in Netherlands, on order from the Aveiro Fishing Company, as a cod trawler, this vessel was part of the Portuguese fleet of cod fishing. The following year he was registered in the Capitania do Porto de Aveiro. This was also the year that this trawler made its first trip to the sea of Terra Nova.
The first captain in this ship was an Aveiro natural citizen named José Pereira Bela. His last trip was to Norway in 1997. As people didn't want the memory of cod fishing to be lost, the ship was recuperated and requalified as a ship-museum, having been open to the public since 2001. Built in steel, the Navio Museu Santo André has 71,40 of length and hold for 1200 tonnes of fish.

Oslo, Norway. In 1901, the first set of Nobel Prizes was awarded and now in 2014 another first has been registered by the prestigious awards committee.
In a shocking turn of events, the 2014 awards decision committee has reversed its decision awarding this year's Nobel Prize in Physics to Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura for invention of Blue LEDs, and instead decided to give it to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.
Narendra Modi has been credited with discovering 'Mitron', which has been deemed as the fourth sub-atomic particle after Proton, Electron, and Neutron.
Confirming the development, the Nobel committee spokesperson Mr. Nobel Patel from Bhavnagar, Gujarat issued a statement saying, "Invention of Blue LEDs has only helped the mankind in saving some electricity, which is anyways available 'On Demand' to all industries in Gujarat in ample amounts. However, the discovery of 'Mitron' has helped us understand atoms, and thus this world in a better manner."
Mr. Patel claimed that 'Mitron' was the particle responsible for holding together various Modi fans, who range from Twitter trolls to international journalists. Not only that, 'Mitron' possessed much higher energy, which was instrumental in making Modi the Prime Minister despite having humble
nucleus origins of being a chai wala.
On rumors that this decision was taken right after Mr. Amit Shah was spotted at the 'The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences', which is the decision making body for the awards, a BJP spokesperson said, "This is a mere coincidence and Mr. Shah had gone there to look for a backup land for the creation of Ram Mandir in case Ayodhya site gets disputed again in courts."
Unconfirmed sources tell Faking News that Mr. Amit Shah is busy these days working on an ordinance with the United Nations, where Mr. Narendra Modi will be given the 'Right of first Refusal' for all awards announced henceforth. Earlier, US President Barack Obama had this right, which he started exercising consistently after winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
As expected, Mr. Obama has come out strongly in support of Modi and has said that he was flattered when Modi referred to him and the White House staff also as 'Mitron' when he visited Washington on his recent visit.
