« Wa immin Ummati illaa khalaa fihaa Naziir. »
There is no nation but has had its Warner.
(Fatir 35: 25)
As Allah (swt) is the Lord of all mankind, He has equipped all humans with the power to think for themselves. And thus, He could not deprive any nation of His guidance. Like the verse of the Holy Quran which I have recited before you, in which it is said: "There is no nation but has had its Warner".
Allah (swt) has sent His messengers among all nations and in all ages, and like the sun lights up the whole world, the light of revelations has ever lit up the darkest corners of the earth. If today we cannot discover the light of revelation among a particular people, it does not mean that no prophets have appeared among them, but the truth is that these people have allowed their national traditions and faith to die out.
Over time, most people believed that (divine) revelation was limited to the founders of their respective religions, and even those who believed that divine revelation was given to those who profess other religions did that, more like a kind of personal tribute to the founders of these religions because of the services they had rendered to the cause of humanity than the result of the acceptance of the doctrine of the universal providence of God. For example, today we see that Christmas has become a national and international festival where even the adherents of other religions like the Hindus celebrate it with fanfare. Why? Is it because of their belief in Jesus just like the Christians have in him? Or is it simply because of the attraction of this festive celebration and as a tribute to the Christian beliefs about Jesus' birth? They are fully engaged in this feast while in reality they do not believe in the authenticity of Jesus as a prophet, or even (may Allah forbid) as son of God, a belief that the majority of Christians espouse.
The services rendered to humanity by the righteous servants of God have certainly been preserved in history, but God's attributes and words also reflect the fact that each nation, whether its traditions have been preserved or not, had its prophet and to receive guidance through prophets is the right of humanity that God never ignores. This doctrine has opened for all nations the doors of God's love to the point that it has put the internal relations of humanity on a consistent and friendly basis and preserved the founders and righteous men of all religions from all kinds of insults.
The world has seen the greatest universal prophet for all humanity, for all nations, for all peoples of the world. This greatest prophet is indeed our beloved prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh). He was raised among the Arabs as the universal prophet for the entire human race. Although he was the last prophet bearer of divine laws, with the last code of revealed laws, i.e., the Quran, the complete Holy Book, which contains the necessary lessons for the needs of all times, the doors of revelation and spiritual advancement are, however, still open and will continue to be forever.
In the presence of a perfect code there is no need for any new law and yet the man still needs to reach God's realization. No new law can be revealed, BUT the door of prophethood that can be reached by spiritual perfection is open and should remain open all the time for God is our providence as much as He was for our ancestors. The more a book is perfect the more it needs to help in the advancement of knowledge. So, a book (i.e. the Holy Quran) that contains a complete code of teachings adapted to the needs of each era and which provides a remedy for all ills and means for the moral and spiritual development of every age must be a revealed book of God, for it explains the philosophy of human development and it is beyond the capacity of human reason to master the philosophy of the development of an ever-changing entity or being.
Reflecting on the Holy Quran we see that whenever religious leaders are corrupted, they become instruments of diversion (for the people) from the right path. For example, it is said in the Holy Quran:
"Wa inna kasiiral-la-yuzil-luuna bi-ahwaaa ihim bi gayri 'ilm". And most surely many would lead (people) astray by their low desires out of ignorance. (Al-Anam 6: 120).
"Itta-khazuuu ahbaa-rahum wa ruhbaa-nahum arbaabam-min duunil-laahi wal-Masii-habna Maryam."
They took their high priests, their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, rather than God, for their lords. (At-Tauba 9: 31).
Many people give the rank of God to their scholars, their religious leaders (Pirs), their caliphs in the time of deviation, i.e., they act according to the directives of the (corrupted) Ulema, the caliphs etc. even if these guidelines are clearly contrary to the (Islamic) Shariah. These Ulema, caliphs, religious leaders drive the people down the wrong path to satisfy their passions. Allah (swt) has proclaimed that all these things are condemned:
"Say: I warn you by revelation." (Al-Anbiya 21: 46)
In other words, I warn you by divine revelation, but you do not take it into account and drive people to aberration so as to gratify your personal desires. Verily, the true guidance cannot be without the help of revelation that alone can give knowledge. God says:
"Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the (only) guidance. If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper." (Al-Baqara 2: 121).
When the darkness of misguidance (deviation from the right path) spreads, God sends His prophets to save the people from that darkness and put/ guide them on the right path. Moreover, whenever religious leaders deceive people to gratify their personal desires, the presence of a prophet becomes necessary because people trust their theologians (so much so much that they corrupt those people's minds); but the latter distort the Shariah and lead people to bad practices, bad Bidat (innovations). The prophet of God then comes to restore the morality of religion.
According to the Quran and Hadiths there is evidence that the coming of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and the perfection of his teaching did not mean they could not be corrupted or misguided. Instead people would be able to turn away from the right path and stray to the point that the very structure of Islam would be undermined. The Holy Prophet had even prophesied that only the name of Islam and writings of the Quran would remain. The truth would disappear completely. The Ulemas whose responsibility it was to save religion would also be corrupted so much that they would destroy it. Faced with such prospects and prophecies that have become a reality today, can it be that God has made no provision nor taken steps to protect Islam? To protect the ancient people from going astray, He always sent prophets; Will He not send down His blessing (of prophets/ divine revelations) once again to save Islam? Certainly He will. God says:
"Today I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (Al-Maida 5: 4)
To perfect a religion, it is necessary that its Shariah is perfect; steps should have been taken to save it from corruption. That is why the Holy Prophet (pbuh) said:
"Most surely God will send for this Ummah (community) a reformer at the head of each century."
God also said: "I have completed My favour upon you." What is the meaning of the words "completed My favour"? In the Quran it is said that when Hazrat Yusuf (as) (Joseph) told his dream to his father Hazrat Yaqub (Jacob), he interpreted it in this way:
"He (God) will complete His favours upon you and on the family of Yaqub (Jacob) as He had completed it upon your fathers before, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ishaq (Issac)." (Yusuf 12: 7).
When God complete His favours on someone, it means "royalty" in ordinary language, and "prophethood" in the spiritual sense. Ibrahim, Ishaq, Yaqub and Yusuf were all prophets: if there was no promise of the fulfilment of divine favour we would not have had the promise of the coming of the Promised Messiah son of Mary, and that of a reformer at the head of every century, and when deviation from the right path would have taken an alarming extension, the prophecy of the coming of a prophet was to be realized.
That is the fulfilment of the divine favours. That is the very life and hope of Islam that the Quran promises every time people go astray from the right path. With divine revelation and the arrival of prophet-reformers of the religion of Allah, Islam represents the promise of a new day where people relive the essence of Islam as it was during the first days of Islam. Insha-Allah. Ameen. This is what I wish for you in the capacity of the Elect of Allah, Khalifatullah, that you reach to Islam as a true believer, who succeeds in attracting the pleasure and love of God (Allah) upon him/ you. Insha-Allah. Ameen.
During the course of his sermon, the Khalifatullah Hazrat Munir A. Azim (atba) has mentioned the profound lesson which Shakespeare gives us in one of his masterpiece/ play/ book, "The Merchant of Venice".
It is the story of a Christian, Antonio and a Jew, Shylock who are enemies of each other, who cannot stand each other. But a situation arise where the Christian needed money and even his friend Bassanio could not help him, and at last he had to seek the help of that Jew whom he despised to help him in his time of needs. Huzur (atba) explains that Shakespeare wanted to display the inner evils of men, such demons which separate humankind. Jealousy and a sense of superiority to others (be it in worldly realm or in the realm of religion/ spirituality) can bring men to despicable situations.
Antonio thought that he would never feel the need for the help of Shylock, but then Shylock also, even though such a situation arose that he could help and display humanity and kindness, yet he seized that situation to extract revenge on the Christian, Antonio. In return for the favour, (Shylock was a money-lender) he sought from Antonio a pound of his flesh in case he could not honour his debt. The fiancée of Antonio, who acted like a lawyer/ judge succeeded in putting Shylock in a fix in that which the agreement stipulated only "one pound of flesh", and thus he had to cut only one pound of flesh, not more or less, and he did not have the right to shed even a drop of blood!
Moreover, Huzur (atba) went profoundly in analysing the nature of man and his interdependence to each other compared to other creatures, for example birds who do not depend on any other creature for his needs.
Unlike humans, birds do not need a contractor to build their nests or any other birds to help them in their daily activities, whereas humans are interdependent on each other and yet they are the ones who create the most hatred and jealousy in the hearts towards each other; whereas birds and other creatures of Allah do not feel jealous for others like them, for they are free, and live life without any worry.
And when they fly, it is indeed Allah who enables them to suspend in the air without falling.
---Friday Sermon of 15 January 2016 ~ (04 Rabi'ul Aakhir 1437 Hijri) delivered by Hadhrat Muhyi-ud-Din Al-Khalifatullah Munir Ahmad Azim Saheb (atba) of Mauritius.

Canadian Export stocks and natural resource companies continue to get slammed despite the strong US Dollar. It is incredible how the slowing economy can hit producers even after they have been run down. There are some signs that supply could cause prices to rise but it seems investors in companies like Bonavista Energy are losing patience and pulling their capital out. Here's hoping the new UCP Government in Alberta can do it's part to get resources flowing when there is a rise in demand and investors looking for opportunities again in Alberta.

Inktober is nearly over :)
Found this one :) Fitting into Inktober, but I drew it already many years ago with liquid eyeliner.
Was curious about its flexible brush. The results are very satisfying, but the container is fastly empty. Of course, it is, its meant for the eyes. I am surely going to use it along with artists ink in the future.
Anyway, I am going to continue on Bodhi soon again :D
Waited so long for this moment, but first I have to complete other stuff.
Till soon all :)

- © 2009 American Dental Education Association
The annual turnover of dental school faculty creates a varying number of vacant budgeted positions at any given time. The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) conducts an annual survey, the ADEA Survey of Vacant Budgeted Faculty Positions, to determine the status and characteristics of these positions. Information collected through the faculty vacancies survey allows for exploring trends in the faculty workforce, factors influencing faculty vacancies by appointment and discipline, and the impact of vacant positions on dental schools. This report focuses on findings from the 2007 survey (all years referenced in this report, unless otherwise noted, refer to the academic year).
Key Highlights
Highlights of this report are as follows:
In 2007, there were 369 reported vacant budgeted faculty positions, including 316 full-time and forty-three part-time positions in the fifty-three schools that responded to the survey. Overall, the number of vacant budgeted positions has fluctuated over the past several years, increasing and then leveling off throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, rapidly increasing in 2005, and then declining in 2006.
Since 2003, growth of vacant budgeted full-time positions has outpaced that of vacant budgeted part-time positions.
Between 2006 and 2007, the reported total number of lost positions (those eliminated from the dental school budget) more than doubled, from eight to twenty-one. This is the largest increase in reported lost positions in the past four years. Six schools accounted for all of the lost positions.
In 2007, active searches were in progress for a smaller percentage of vacancies than the prior year. In particular, in-progress active searches for full-time vacancies dropped from 84 percent in 2006 to 81 percent in 2007.
While completion of fixed-term employment was the primary factor accounting for part-time and volunteer faculty separations, leaving to take a position at another dental school was the primary factor for full-time faculty separations.
Deans at all of the U.S. dental schools received the ADEA Survey of Vacant Budgeted Faculty Positions instrument. The following information was requested for each vacant budgeted position at the dental school or in dental school-sponsored programs at the time the survey was completed: primary appointment, primary discipline, full-time/part-time status (along with full-time equivalency of the part-time positions), newly established or extant position, active or inactive search, length of vacancy, and factors influencing recruitment efforts.
The survey instrument was comprised of three sections: a dean's opinion section, a section on vacant positions, and a section on lost positions. The dean's section was filled out by the dean of each dental school, so the institution is the unit of analysis. For the other two sections, the unit of analysis was the particular position that was vacant or lost. Responses were received from fifty-four out of fifty-six deans in response to the first section, from fifty-three out of fifty-six schools in response to the vacant positions section, and from fifty-one out of fifty-six schools in response to the lost positions section.
In shedding light on faculty vacancies, the summary report below includes a small number of findings from the annual ADEA Survey of Dental Educators. This survey collects information covering a range of dental school faculty characteristics, including demographics, status, reasons for faculty separations, and sources of new faculty. To the 2007 survey of dental educators, ADEA received responses from forty-nine out of fifty-six dental schools.
Characteristics of Vacant Budgeted Positions
As noted in Table 1⇓, there were 369 reported vacant budgeted faculty positions in 2007 in the fifty-three schools that responded to the survey, including 316 full-time vacancies, forty-three part-time vacancies, and ten vacancies for which the status was not reported.
With a total of 369 reported vacant positions, there was an average of almost seven vacant positions at each dental school. The number of schools with four or fewer faculty vacancies increased from sixteen schools in 2006 to twenty-one schools in 2007. The number of schools with five to nine vacancies decreased from twenty-four schools in 2006 to twenty schools in 2007 (Table 2⇓).
Since survey responses are not received from all dental schools, each year ADEA prepares an estimated figure of the total number of faculty vacancies to facilitate some year-to-year faculty vacancy comparison. The estimate is a simple calculation based on the average number of full-time and part-time vacancies at responding schools, assuming this number of vacancies for schools that did not respond to the survey. After extrapolating to represent all fifty-six dental schools, there were 379 estimated vacancies in 2007, as compared to the estimated figure of 406 in 2006 (Figure 1⇓).
According to the estimated figures, over the past five years, growth of vacant budgeted full-time positions has outpaced that of vacant budgeted part-time faculty positions. While the number of estimated vacant budgeted full-time positions increased by 31 percent over this time period, the number of vacant budgeted part-time positions decreased by 18 percent.
Focusing on actual reported vacancies, Tables 3⇓ and 4⇓ provide a breakdown of the budgeted vacant positions by primary appointment and discipline. As has been the case historically, clinical science accounts for the majority of vacancies, with 254 of these vacancies being full-time. In terms of disciplines (rather than primary appointment area), faculty vacancies in general/operative/restorative dentistry continue to be the most numerous, both in number and as a percentage of all vacancies across the disciplines.
Over a quarter of vacant positions were newly created positions in 2007 (Table 5⇓), which is similar to prior years. Most remaining positions were extant positions, with the exception of a small number whose status was not reported. Active searches were in progress for a smaller percentage of vacancies than in 2006. In particular, active searches for full-time vacancies dropped from 84 percent in 2006 to 81 percent in 2007, while active searches for part-time vacancies fell from 77 percent in 2006 to 48 percent in 2007.1
In 2007, 26 percent of vacant budgeted positions in inactive search status were reported as vacant for greater than twenty-four months, compared to 13 percent in 2006 and 6 percent in 2005 (Table 6⇓). This upward trend suggests an increase in the percentage of vacant budgeted positions that have been vacant greater than twenty-four months and that dental schools moved into inactive search status. It also could indicate little movement from inactive to active search status amongst positions vacant for greater than twenty-four months.
Overall, the information collected in the 2007 vacancy survey indicates an increase in full, associate, and assistant professor faculty position vacancies and a slight decrease in instructor vacancies (Table 7⇓). The academic rank of nearly 60 percent of vacant positions was at the assistant professor level, an increase from 2006. In addition, the percentage of associate professor vacancies increased 9 percent to 23 percent from 2006 to 2007. Similar to prior years, in 2007 12 percent of vacant budgeted positions were at the full professor level.
Lost Faculty Positions
While most vacant positions remain in a dental school's budget, others are reported as lost. A total of twenty-one positions were reported lost in 2007, compared to eight lost positions in 2006, the largest increase in lost positions in the past four years. Six schools accounted for all of the lost positions.
In 2007, lost positions were almost evenly divided between full-time and part-time faculty positions, while roughly two-thirds of lost positions were full-time faculty positions in 2006 (Table 8⇓). Also, in 2007, three-quarters of lost positions had a primary appointment in clinical science. The remaining positions had primary appointments in research and allied dental education.
No more than one or two lost positions were reported for most disciplines (Table 9⇓). The highest number of lost positions was reported in general/operative/restorative dentistry, which lost four full-time positions in 2007.
Factors Influencing the Ability to Fill a Vacancy
Dental schools were asked to select up to five factors that influenced their ability to fill a vacant position. As shown in Table 10⇓, in 2007 the number one factor influencing the ability to fill a position was the degree to which candidates' experience, qualifications, and interest aligned with the requirements of the position, followed by lack of response to the position announcement. The third major factor reported was salary/budget limitations. Over the past three years, these factors have consistently ranked in the top three.
In light of budget constraints associated with the start of a recession in the United States in December 2007,2 institutions are experiencing hiring freezes and retirement deferments, which could further influence schools' salary and budget limitations in the coming years.3
Factors Influencing Faculty Separations
Between the 2006–07 and 2007–08 academic years, there were 877 reported faculty separations. As shown in Table 11⇓, while completion of fixed-term employment was the primary factor accounting for part-time faculty separations (178 out of 441, or 40 percent), leaving to take a position at another dental school was the primary factor for full-time faculty separations (sixty-three out of 274, or 23 percent). The other leading reasons for full-time faculty separations were retirement and leaving to pursue private practice.
Across all ranks except full professor, departing to pursue private practice was a leading reported reason for faculty separation (Table 12⇓). This reason accounted for 23 percent of associate professor separations (twenty-one out of ninety), 34 percent of assistant professor separations (106 out of 313), and 62 percent of instructor separations (ninety-three out of 150). For full professors, retirement and moving to another dental school accounted for over two-thirds (sixty-seven out of ninety-eight) of the separations.
Sources of New Faculty
About 9 percent (1,009) of the 2007 dental school faculty were reported as new faculty. Table 13⇓ displays the sources of new faculty for those positions for which a source was reported for the years 2002 through 2007. In the 2007 survey, individuals coming from private practice to academia continued to be the primary source of new faculty. The share of new faculty entering academia following dental school graduation increased to 10 percent from 4 percent in 2006.
In 2007, the percent of new faculty coming from advanced education programs dropped by six percentage points, from 21 percent to 15 percent. Finally, a relatively small percentage of new faculty entered academia from the uniformed services or the Veterans Administration.
Factors Contributing to Faculty Vacancies
Deans reported that the main factor contributing to faculty vacancies was a difficulty in filling vacant positions as they became vacant, thereby increasing the number of positions yet to be filled (Table 14⇓). Nearly half of the deans responding reported this factor as being a significant reason underscoring the number of vacancies. About 48 percent of deans responding reported that an increase in faculty retirements has impacted the number of vacancies at their dental school.
Given that the average age of dental faculty members is fifty-four years, it seems likely that dental school deans will continue to report on the impact of faculty retirement on the number of vacancies. Nearly 70 percent of deans responding reported that filling vacant faculty positions will become increasingly difficult over the next five years.
The annual ADEA Survey of Vacant Budgeted Faculty Positions highlights important changes and trends taking place within dental schools throughout the country. While the information collected through the survey instrument allows for a greater understanding of the trends in dental education, the findings can be contextualized within the broader health education arena.
For example, difficulty filling vacancies is not a problem felt only by dental schools. Rather, it is an issue throughout many academic health centers.4 The Association of Academic Health Centers (AAHC) reported that 94 percent of CEOs at academic health centers believe faculty shortages are a problem in at least one health professions school. Even further, 69 percent of those surveyed by the AAHC felt those shortages were a problem for their entire institution. Others studying the issue at the national level have noted some factors that could contribute to the shortage, including retirement among baby-boomers, low level of interest in academic careers among those entering the health professions, and disparities in salaries between academe and private practice or industry.5
Also of note, the increase in faculty separations due to fixed-term appointments is affecting not only dental schools but universities across the country. Researchers studying the issue are finding that contingent or fixed-term appointments are now the chief modes of operation for universities.6 In the context of filling dental school vacancies, it remains to be seen what impact this trend will have in the short and long term.
Finally, of considerable interest in the near future will be the effect of the U.S. economic recession that began in December 2007 on vacant budgeted and lost positions at the nation's dental schools. The data reported in the future (for example, from the 2008 faculty vacancy survey) could provide more details on how schools and deans manage vacant budgeted faculty positions in a difficult economic climate. If, as is already occurring at universities across the country, institutions are forced to deal with budget constraints by cutting faculty salaries and furloughing faculty,3,7 the impact on deans' ability to recruit and retain faculty could be quite pronounced.

Executive Summary
1 Project Aims
This project aims to develop the use of phototherapy within EU prisons in promoting the emotional learning of prisoners. Phototherapy is considered a cost-effective method, allowing fast access to clients concerns; a method in which staff can be trained in a sustainable manner. Phototherapy seems particularly suitable to be used in this context as it provides a unique means of expression for those who are rarely given a voice, overcoming cultural and language barriers.
2 Identified Needs – Management of Emotions in Prison Samples
Over 20% of prisoners in a UK sample experienced mental illness and emotional problems (Ministry of Justice, 2010) and often abused drugs and/or alcohol to manage their emotions (Bosteder & Hargrave, 2008). In Malta, 41% of prisoners are thought to abuse drugs, and large numbers experience mental health issues. Further, despite the relatively low number of offenders in Finnish prisons, we find high rates of reoffending and suicide (Joukamma, 1997) and a very limited range of activities within prison that provide an opportunity for emotional learning. Opportunities for emotional learning and psychological intervention in Italian and Greek prisoners are particularly limited and sporadic. Romanian prisons also face difficulties, in particular with the management of anger and violence in custody compounded by the fact that the Romanian penitentiary system has little experience in the use of therapies.
3 Gaps in Provisions for Therapeutic Intervention with Prisoner's Emotional Learning
Despite a focus on cognitive intelligence in prisons, psychologists have brought to attention the importance of alternative areas of learning and intelligence such as that of emotional learning in prisoners' adjustment, utilisation of skills and integration into society; and, an important gap has been identified with regard to the provision of 'emotional learning' opportunities in prisons in the EU.
4 Identified Needs – Emotional Intelligence, Emotional Learning and Prisoners
'Emotional Intelligence' (EI) denotes the process involved in recognising, using, understanding and managing the emotional state of one's self and others in regulating behaviour and navigating problems of an emotional nature (Mayer & Salovey, 1997; Salovey & Mayer, 1990). Emotional learning, a process through which a person may develop emotional intelligence, may involve gaining the capacity or skills to notice, convey, assimilate and regulate one's own and others' emotions in thought (Mayer et al. 2000). There is also evidence to suggest that emotional intelligence may be a factor in criminal behaviour (Santesso et al., 2006). Gaum et al. (2006) have suggested that successful rehabilitation of offenders relies on the effective learning of the regulation and enhancement of emotion management skills. This is particularly relevant to current policy both with regard to decreasing re-offending rates (Ministry of Justice, 2010)
5 Increasing Emotional Intelligence – Potential Benefits for Prisoners and Society
According to Kravitz and Schubert (2010), the following are potential indicators of emotional intelligence:
Self-Awareness: Those considered emotionally intelligent show awareness of their feelings, their motivations and demotivaions, and their effect on others.
Social Skills: Those considered emotionally intelligent are adept at communicating and relating to others by listening attentively and adapting their communication style to the needs of others by showing compassion.
Optimism: Those considered emotionally intelligent show positivity and optimism, with attitudes that stimulate a desire to work consistently towards goals even during setbacks.
Emotional Control: Those considered emotionally intelligent handle stress evenly, and are able to remain in situations which may be stressful, for instance during change or conflict.
Flexibility: Those considered emotionally intelligent are able to adapt to change by developing options by using problem-solving techniques.
6 Measures of Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence can be measured in several ways. The Mayer-Salovey-CarusoEmotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT), designed for adults over 17, aims to measure emotional intelligence by asking questions based on objective and impersonal daily scenarios. In this way, the MSCEIT establishes how people perform in solving emotional problems through eight task-level scores, rather than relying on participants' subjective assessments.
The Bar-On model (Bar-On, 2006) measures emotional-social intelligence by exploring the range of interconnected emotional and social skills through an Emotional Quotient Inventory.
Goleman's (1998) model measures emotional intelligence through the Emotional Competency Inventory (ECI), the Emotional Intelligence Appraisal(EIA) and the Work Profile Questionnaire-Emotional Intelligence Version (WPQei) The Emotional Intelligence Appraisal was developed from an intuitive and user-friendly skill-based model based on four skills that connect what one sees and what one does with their emotion in the presence of others.. Along with an overall emotional quotient score, the EIA also measures self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. The WPQei, on the other hand, measures emotional intelligence within a work context through a series of 84 questions. It is believed that this is an effective tool for training and team building.
7 Using Photographs in Therapeutic Intervention
Within the therapeutic disciplines phototherapy and therapeutic photography are not completely separate entities. The two practices can be considered to involve making use of the "emotional-communication qualities of photographs and people's interactions with them" (Weiser, 2004:1), to enable clients to speak of difficulties they experience (Weiser, 1999, 2001). Phototherapy and therapeutic photography were mainly developed in the 1980s and 1990s but there seems to be a resurgence of interest in phototherapy and therapeutic photography (Loewenthal, 2011; Weiser, 2000). This revival may be spurred by the advent of camera phones and increasingly inexpensive digital cameras, along with the availability of the internet enabling easy access to images on social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube.
Phototherapy can be seen as the use of photographs to enable clients' expression of their concerns (Krauss & Fryrear, 1983; Weiser, 2002). One way of seeing 'phototherapy' is the use of photographs in what is normally practiced as psychotherapy and counselling, but where the client chooses, either in a one-to-one or group situation, a photograph that calls to them as a way of eliciting what is on their mind. 'Therapeutic photography' on the other hand often involves the client actually taking photographs as a way of working through an emotional constriction (Martin & Spence, 1987, 1988; Spence, 1986). In this project, the term 'phototherapy' was initially used to cover any therapeutic use of photographs. Indeed, the distinctions between phototherapy and therapeutic photography are not always clear, and some practitioners use the methods interchangeably within their practice. Throughout this project, the term 'phototherapy' is used in a very broad sense. What is vitally important is that what people call their practice is regulated differently in different countries and that anyone considering the approaches through the project 'PhototherapyEurope in Prisons' must check what is permissible in their particular country where they practice.
Following Freud's belief that "the essence of repression lies simply in turning something away and keeping it at a distance from the conscious" (1915:147), it is argued here that photographs are potentially an avenue by which the unconscious mind can be accessed in order to explore repressions (those memories, thoughts and desires that may be too difficult to accept into consciousness). Weiser (2001) holds a similar view in discussing methods in which subjects use photographs as a basis upon which to project their interpretations and meanings of their world.
When incorporated into therapy, photographs have been reported to be effective at facilitating improvements with impulse control, social skills, and self-esteem (Cosden & Reynolds, 1982). Comfort (1985) introduced clients to the value of visual language as a foundation for imagery communication between the client and the therapist.
8 Methodologies and Products
Arising from the literature review, four approaches regarding the therapeutic use of photographs (photocards, photobooks, photovoice/employability, and portraiture) will be piloted across all seven partners in six countries. As a consequence, a website, training manuals, and photocards will be developed. These will be further disseminated through presentations and cascading in the six countries, a conference in London and training programmes run by each of the seven partners.

10 Standout Hip-Hop Tracks from 1991
As a complement to PopMatters' "Nevermind Nostalgia" retrospective on music in 1991, Sound Affects takes at look at a partial selection of the year's hip-hop highlights that lean more towards beats production than the era's increasingly popular gangsta genre.
The year 1991 was one of astonishing riches in hip-hop, landing (depending somewhat on your definition) somewhere in the middle of the genre's "golden age". Building on the innovations of Marley Marl, Ced Gee, and others, the producers of the early '90s -- among them Pete Rock, Diamond D, Large Professor, and DJ Premier -- built complex sample-based productions and drew from a palette that included increasingly obscure soul jazz, jazz-funk, and R&B cuts -- and did so in an atmosphere of ferocious innovation and competition. At the same time the gangsta genre narrowed hip-hop's militant political street ethic -- epitomized previously by politically conscious stances of Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy, among others -- but the resulting controversy took the genre to a wider market.
Among the year's releases were debuts from Organized Konfusion and Freestyle Fellowship; Public Enemy's Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black; KMD's Mr. Hood, UMC's Fruits of Nature, Pete Rock & C. L. Smooth's All Souled Out EP, and follow-ups by Geto Boys, Ice Cube, and much more. What follows is, necessarily, a highly partial selection of the year's highlights. If it leans more towards beats production than the era's increasingly popular gangsta genre, perhaps that is because hip-hop's militancy reinvents itself every few years -- with a canny eye on the genre's commercial opportunities -- whereas the time's layered production innovations remain relevant in a work of digital audio tools such as Pro Tools, Cubase, and Reason.
"Live at the Barbecue"
Foremost among 1991's superlative beatcraft is Main Source's LP Breaking Atoms. Astonishingly out of print for more than ten years until 2008, Breaking Atoms was the product of producer/MC Large Professor and Canadians Sir Scratch and K-Cut. It's hard to pick a standout track from the album, with highlights such as "Just a Friendly Game of Baseball"--a tale of police brutality marching across the top of the mainstay Lou Donaldson "Pot Belly" sample. "Peace Is Not the Word to Play", like "Snake Eyes" or "Just Hangin' Out", is comprised of samples so densely intertwined that it is only with attentive headphone listening that the songs' distinct components are revealed. "Live at the Barbeque" introduced Nas to the world: ostensibly an MC cut, Nas's taut delivery ignites the song from its first verse, signalling the talent that would flow into Illmatic in 1994.
"Just to Get a Rep"
A wall of textbook DJ Premier productions--tight, perfectly focused, impulsively looped creations--Gang Starr's second album, Step in the Arena, was modestly reviewed upon release. But songs like "The Meaning of a Name" and "Beyond Comprehension", with its reversed opening--a brilliant transformation of a fragment from Soul II Soul's "Keep on Movin'"--show the kind of textural experimentation that kept Premier in the front ranks of producers, alongside the crowd-pleasing loops of "What You Want This Time?" and "Love Sick". Guru's lyrics remained clear, open, and effortlessly confident. At their best, the contrast between their styles was there if you were listening for it but disappeared into the pure strut of their sound. Guru was full-on and braggy in "Step in the Arena", Premier stripped-back and dusty. In "Just to Get a Rep", Premier bounces around a loop from Jean-Jacques Perry's kitsch organ LP Moog Indigo, while Guru is chillingly casual as he describes a stick-up kid's pursuit of a victim. "Brothers are amused by others brother's reps / But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept".
"Alwayz Into Somethin'"
Three years after initiating the gangsta genre with Straight Outta Compton, NWA returned in 1991 with Efil4zaggin, without Ice Cube but with some caustic responses to his departure over a royalties dispute. From that album, "Alwayz Into Somethin'" was one of the earliest examples of Dre's G-Funk style, slower and almost washed out by hazy synth lines, a sound which was later to be explored extensively in The Chronic and, indeed, exhaustively, across the first half of the 1990s.
Remarkably catchy, built off a Melvin Bliss beat and supported with a Jackson 5 sample, "O.P.P." was everywhere in late 1991, in spite of its lyrical content; and it still recurs on film soundtracks with striking frequency.
"The Wacky World of Rapid Transit"
Del was only 18 when I Wish My Brother George Was Here was released under the tutelage of Ice Cube. George is more heavily determined by a P-Funk influence than the later Hieroglyphic records like Del's No Need for Alarm, Casual's Fear Itself, or Soul of Mischief's 93 'til Infinity, which show a muscular awareness of space in contrast to the tight and busy funk of this album. But there are hints of it on "Dark Skin Girls" and elsewhere. And songs like "Pissin' on Your Steps" and "The Wacky World of Rapid Transit" rumble and clatter in a series of brilliant collisions of sample and riff and lyric, diced with Del's off-kilter perspective .

During the 1990s two contrasting paths to the organization of work have emerged in the Swedish engineering industry: the structure-conservative and structure-innovative. This thesis deals with the latter, and focuses primarily on necessary changes in management control systems that support structureinnovative forms of team-organized work. Three types of management control systems are studied in this thesis: performance management and measurement systems, systems for continuous improvements and wage systems.
The empirical base of this thesis consists of data from an exploratory survey study as well as a multiple case study.
On a general level, the survey study indicates a lack of congruence between structure and systems. Many companies seem to have started to move along the structure-innovative path but have not changed the management control systems accordingly. However, there are good reasons for doing so. The companies that have chosen the structure-innovative path perform better in terms of productivity, quality and cost reduction. These are also the companies that have changed their management control systems to the greatest extent.
The case study provides examples of how management control systems may be changed to fit structure-innovative forms of team-organized work. The main focus has been on the use of Balanced Scorecard. How a strategic continuous improvement capability was developed and sustained in the studied companies is illustrated. The findings extend previous research on new production concepts, which, this thesis argues, are not to be regarded as an issue of technology and vertical division of labour only, but also of supportive management control systems.
In this paper we analyze the role of balanced scorecard in strategically aligned work on continuous improvements in production teams. The analysis is based on survey responses from 51 engineering industry companies and data from three case studies. Two continuous improvement strategies are identified with the use of cluster analysis, namely, the expert task force strategy and the wide focus strategy. These strategies were found to be closely related to specific features of the local work organization. The case studies shows that there is a clear connection between local work on continuous improvements in teams and implementation and use of the balanced scorecard. A common role of balanced scorecard is to facilitate focus, resource allocation, prioritization and comprehensive coordination of continuous improvement activities, which implies a potential for exploiting the local and operational knowledge base. The balanced scorecard applications, however, are adapted to each strategy for continuous improvements as well as the features of the work organization by a unique emphasis on control of content, process and goals.
Illustrates how strategic continuous improvement (CI) capabilities were developed in three Swedish manufacturing companies that have implemented the Balanced Scorecard (BSC). A multiple case study was conducted; each company followed a unique team-based CI strategy. Shows how the use of BSC was adapted to the specific characteristics that each of the CI strategies entail. Furthermore, shows that it could be difficult to sustain the capability that was developed. However, also finds that certain mechanisms in the management control system, as well as the presence of an advanced work organisation, may help in sustaining the strategic CI capability.

Since the early 2000s, superhero movies have dramatically increased in popularity. Films like The Dark Knight and Avengers have taken superheroes from convention halls and comic books to the forefront of mainstream popular culture. With global box office revenues frequently eclipsing a billion dollars, it's clear that the superhero genre has arrived at a new golden age. In fact, 2018 was a record-breaking year for superhero movies, with over 2.8 billion U.S. dollars in box office revenue generated in the United States alone.
It is clear that superhero movies have seen a spike in popularity in recent years, but what makes these films so appealing to audiences around the world? Superhero movie viewers seem to be more influenced by their familiarity with the comic book franchise than by critic reviews of the film. The biggest impact on viewers' decisions to see superhero movies seems to be the heroes themselves. Another major influence is the quality of the movie's trailer. Around 44 percent of consumers from ages 18 to 29 stated that the quality of a superhero movie trailer impacted their decision to see it "a lot".
Marvel remains at the pinnacle of the superhero movie genre. With a host of recognizable brands such as the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, and Iron Man, Marvel saturates the superhero market for a variety of different audiences. About 47 percent of respondents stated that they strictly preferred Marvel over its main competitor, DC, while only 11 percent answered in favor of DC. Marvel has achieved massive success in the film industry, partly due to its ability to include numerous superheroes into each movie, and connect their stories in a way that compels viewers to seek out other Marvel films. Around 54 percent of respondents from the 18 to 34 age range stated that they had seen one or more movies in the Avengers series.
Given the nature of superheroes, relatability doesn't seem to be a major concern for viewers of the films. Only nine percent of adults stated that they strongly agreed that they relate to the characters in superhero movies. Instead, many people seem to look towards superhero films to serve as an example for social issues such as LGBTQ rights and immigration. Approximately 24% of respondents stated that superhero movies should have more characters that represent the LGBTQ community and 23 percent stated that they should include immigrant characters.

The default settings for Contact Forms will display ten text boxes when the question type is inserted. These include:
- Name
- Company
- Address
- Address 2
- City/ Town
- State/ Province
- Zip/ Postal Code
- Country
- Email Address
- Phone Number
Each text box aims to collect a separate, and relevant, piece of information about your respondents. These boxes can be customized to collate most types of information, as long as the space required is relatively small.
To rename these sections, simply click the text box and replace the text. Each text field will be automatically made a required field, but you can toggle this feature through the settings menu for each individual text box.
Question Quick Menu
Inside the Question Quick Menu for Contact Forms, you will find these options:
- Undo: Reverse your previous action or measure.
- Redo: Once 'Undo' is clicked, the option transforms into the 'Redo' button. This will restore your previous action or measure.
- Delete: Permanently removes the question from the project.
- Copy: Duplicate your question inside of the project.
- Move to Page: Select another page to move the question to.
- Settings: Opens additional, question specific, features and settings.
Question Settings Menu
The Settings button, in the Question Quick Menu, will grant you access to the following settings:
- Number this question: This button toggles the numbering for the concerned question.
- Address Lookup: This option allows respondents to search for their address using a Zip Code/ Postal Code. This feature is only available in the United Kingdom and United States of America.
How respondents interact with the Contact Form
Participants will be able to fill out each section of the contact form in the same way as Text Box (Single) questions. If you've activated the Address Lookup feature, you may find that some sections of your Contact Form disappear.
These sections will reappear once the respondent has entered their zip code/ postcode and searched for their address. Once the code is entered, a dropdown menu with a list of relevant addresses will appear, from which participants can select the appropriate option.
This selection will auto-fill all the corresponding sections. Even if you've activated the 'Address Lookup' feature, respondents will be able to click the 'Manual Entry' button to disable the Lookup in their own project.
How to analyze the Contact Form Quick Report
Contact details will be compiled as a list of text responses in your Quick Report. They will be presented in the order they were collected for easy reference.

Teeny tiny fluffy bundle of love
I have the most lovely, teeny tiny, healthy, 6 month old, bundle of joy, that I would like to gift to a special person who needs this love in their lives for the next 15 years, someone who is lonely maybe, someone who dreams, and longs for a tiny life to care for, but perhaps feels they could never afford to purchase a babe with the prices folks are asking these days. Maybe you have a grandma/pa , maybe it is yourself… A pup, can give unsurmountable love and joy to a lonely day.
This little babe is wonderful, perky, happy, has all her shots. Is teeny, fragile, and very funny.
If you would like to share your story with me, I, would love to give her to a wonderful caring forever home, one where she will be the centre of your world 🙂

I've tested POPFile accuracy with [xmltraintest.py] using 22,340 e-mails in 17 buckets.
POPFile is using Kakasi as the Japanese 'wakati-gaki' parser now. If we use MeCab, does the accuracy change? And when using the simple parser (splitting words by character kind) ?
I thought MeCab is the most accurate and the simple parser is the least, because MeCab has the large dictionary and it is most accurate in parsing Japanese text. But the above result says that MeCab and the simple parser is as accurate as Kakasi.
Kakasi has 98.791% accuracy (214 classification erros and 56 unclassifieds), MeCab has 98.796% (214 classification errors and 55 unclassifieds) and the simple parser has 98.796% (211 classification erros and 59 unclassifieds). MeCab is more little bit accurate than the others, but the difference is only one e-mail out of 22,340 e-mails.
Since the simple parser does not require any external modules, I want to create a new option to use it as Japanese parser in the next version of POPFile.

Roughly 186 acres of pristine Texas Panhandle landscape could be yours. Surrounded by natural draws crossed by the Little Lahey Creek, game and wildlife routinely journey across this brushy property.
Tract 7: ±215 ACRES Prime Hunting or Ranchland
The largest of the nine Rockland Ranch auction tracts offered, Tract 7 includes roughly 215 acres of Panhandle landscape.
Tract 7 is crossed by the winding Little Lahey Creek bed and combination of brush that make it the perfect place to find deer, quail, dove and other wildlife.
Tract 8: ±146 ACRES Prime Hunting or Ranchland
Occupying the southeastern corner of Rockland Ranch, Tract 8 is an estimated 146-acre parcel that combines brushy terrain with the narrow, winding Little Lahey Creek bed that is the perfect place to spot any number of wildlife.
Tract 8 includes some sand and gravel excavation site. All mined material currently onsite conveys with the purchase of this tract.
With views of the Amarillo skyline, this property offers up a private hunting oasis just minutes from Amarillo.
Tract 9: ±144 ACRES Hunting, Ranchland, Sand & Gravel Pits
Tract 9 is roughly 144 acres of rangeland with ready supplies of sand and gravel for the taking. All mined materials currently onsite convey with the purchase of this tract.

Let's face it, it's not an easy task when it comes to finding the best small breed puppy food. There are just so many choices.
So where's the best place to start? Well here are a few tips to help you sort through all the marketing hype out there and find a quality puppy food for your new furbaby.
There are certain things you need to look for when searching for the best puppy food. Here are a few things to consider before you buy:
1. Be sure you choose either an "all life stages" food or one made especially for puppies.
An all life stages food is designed for both puppies and adult dogs. Your other choice would be one designed especially for small breed puppies. The size of the kibble is very important too. You want it to be very small and bite sized so it will be very easy for your puppy to chew up.
2.Does the food have "by products" in it?
Bottom line, if you see those words in it, don't even think about buying it. By products could be almost anything from chicken heads, chicken feet, feathers, blood, you name it. They are basically fillers that have absolutely no nutritional value. Definitely not good stuff you'd want to feed your puppy.
3.Make sure it does NOT have corn, wheat, soy, wheat gluten or corn gluten.
Any or all of these can lead to allergies, hyperactivity and even diabetes in your puppy down the road. They also contribute to the starch content in a food. Small breed dogs, and especially puppies, are not able to digest starch (carbs) well. Again, these are undesirable fillers that many dog food companies put in their food mainly because it is cheap and plentiful. The best small breed puppy food should be free of these ingredients.
4. Does your puppy food have a high quality protein in it?
Small breed dogs have a very fast metabolism which means they need lots of quality protein in their food. Protein, for example, is like a log you throw on a fire. It burns slow and long. Compare that to paper and twigs (starches or carbs) which tend to burn up very fast. So the puppy food you feed needs to have more protein (preferably human grade meat) than carbs.
Dr. Jane Bicks, product formulator of Life's Abundance puppy food, says that small breed puppies need plenty of nutritionally dense calories in their early months.
Most of a puppies growth will take place in the first six months of their lives and it is crucial that they be supplied with the correct amount of quality protein, fat ,vitamins and minerals. Given a high quality puppy food, they have an excellent chance of living a long and healthy life.
