Takfir or takfeer (Arabic: تكفير takfīr) is a concept in Islamist discourse,[1] denoting excommunication, as one Muslim declaring another Muslim, or any individual, as a non-believer (kafir). The act which precipitates takfir is termed mukaffir. Contemporary formulation and usage of the term have their roots in the 20th-century Islamist theorist Sayyid Qutb's advocacy of takfirism (doctrine of excommunication) against the state or society deemed jahiliyah (state of ignorance and disbelief). According to Qutb, violence is required to be sanctioned against corrupt state leaders, on the premise that quietism is not the Islamic prescription against those deemed apostates. This position is widely held and applied by jihadist organizations to varying degrees. At the same time, the concept is opposed by religious establishment as an ostensible reason for violence.[1] They hold that excommunication against those who profess their Islamic faith is not sanctioned by Islam,[1] or an ill-founded takfir accusation is a major forbidden act (haram).[2]
It has to be noted that Shiraz Maher does specify that the major Salafi jihadi theoreticians like Abu Hamza al-Masri, Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, Omar Abdel-Rahman and Abu Basir al-Tartusi ask to exercise caution while doing takfir, as declaring a Muslim unbeliever wrongly makes the one who accuses to himself get out of the religion.[3]
Authority and conditionsEdit
Legitimate authority and conditions that permit the issuance of takfir are major points of contention among Muslim scholars. In general, the official clergy considers that Islam does not sanction excommunication of Muslims who profess their Islamic faith and perform the ritual pillars of Islam.[1] This is due to takfir having major consequences of killing, confiscation of their property and denial of Islamic burial. Ulamas often raise objections by asking rhetorical questions of who holds the right to excommunicate others, on what religious criteria it should be based, and what level of specialized knowledge in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) is required for the qualification of authority.[1]
Some Muslims consider takfir to be a prerogative of either the Prophet — who does that through Divine revelation — or the state which represents the collectivity of the Ummah (the whole Muslim community).[4] The declaration of takfir may be made if the alleged Muslim declares himself a kafir, but more typically applies to a judgement that an action or statement by the alleged Muslim indicates his knowing abandonment of Islam. In many cases an Islamic court or a religious leader, an alim must pronounce a fatwa (legal judgement) of takfir against an individual or group.
There are disputes among different schools of religious thought as to what constitutes sufficient justification for declaring takfir:
Sunni AshariEdit
The orthodox Sunni position is that sins generally do not prove that someone is not a Muslim, but denials of fundamental religious principles do. Thus a murderer, for instance, may still be a Muslim, but someone who denies that murder is a sin is a kafir if he is aware that murder is considered a sin in Islam.
Murji'ah emerged as a theological school that was opposed to the Kharijites on questions related to early controversies regarding sin and definitions of what is a true Muslim.[5] As opposed to the Kharijites, Murjites advocated the idea of deferred judgement of peoples' belief. The word Murjiah itself means "one who postpones" in Arabic.[6] Murjite doctrine held that only God has the authority to judge who is a true Muslim and who is not, and that Muslims should consider all other Muslims as part of the community.[7] This theology promoted tolerance of Umayyads and converts to Islam who appeared half-hearted in their obedience.[8]
The Mu'tazilites (followed by the Zaidiyyahs) advocated what they saw as a middle way, whereby grave sinners were categorized neither as believers nor as kafirs.
Some of the early medieval Kharijites concluded that any Muslim who sinned ceased to be a Muslim, while others concluded that only major sin could cause that.
Some Muslims (such as Muhammad Ibn Abd al-Wahhab, founder of Wahhabism) believe that one of the earliest examples of takfir was alleged to have been practised by the first Caliph, Abu Bakr.[9] In response to the refusal of certain Arab tribes to pay the alms-tax (zakat), he is reported to have said: "By God, I will fight anyone who differentiates between the prayer and the zakat. ... Revelation has been discontinued, the Shari'ah has been completed: will the religion be curtailed while I am alive. ... I will fight these tribes even if they refuse to give a halter. Poor-due (zakat) is a levy on wealth and, by God, I will fight him who differentiates between the prayer and poor-due."[citation needed] Abu Bakr did not use the word kafir though.
In the wars between the Umayyad Caliphate and the Khawarijs, the latter's practice of takfir became the justification for their indiscriminate attacks on civilian Muslims; the more moderate Sunni view of takfir developed partly in response to this conflict.[citation needed]
Ibn Taymiyyah, the 14th century scholar followed by many modern Salafi, ruled that though Mongol invaders professed to be Muslims their enforcement of the Yasa law in place of Islamic Shariah "reversed their conversion, rendering the Mongols apostate."[10] 18th century revivalist Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab cited Ibn Taymiyyah in his preaching that many mainstream Muslim traditions (such as Sufism) as bid'a (innovation of the religion) caused self-professed Muslims to be unbelievers and his followers slew many Muslims for allegedly kufr practises.[10]
After 1950Edit
Takfir has become "a central ideology of militant groups" such as those in Egypt, "which reflect the ideas" of Sayyid Qutb, Abul A'la Maududi and others, according to the Oxford Islamic Studies Online website.[11] It is rejected by Islamic scholars and leaders such as Hasan al-Hudaybi (d. 1977) and Yusuf al-Qaradawi and by mainstream Muslims and Islamist groups.[11]
In PakistanEdit
Takfir has been used against the Ahmadiyya, who describe themselves as Muslims but who many Muslims and Islamic scholars believe reject the doctrine of Khatam an-Nabiyyin, i.e. the belief that Muhammad was the last and final Prophet and Messenger of God, after whom there can be no other Prophet or Messenger. In 1974 Pakistan amended its constitution to declare Ahmadis as non-Muslims. In 1984, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, the then military ruler of Pakistan, issued Ordinance XX,[12][13] forbidding Ahmadis to call themselves Muslim. As a result, they are not allowed to profess the Islamic creed publicly or to call their places of worship mosques,[14] to worship in non-Ahmadi mosques or public prayer-rooms, to perform the Muslim call to prayer, to use the traditional Islamic greeting in public, to publicly quote from the Quran, to preach in public, to seek converts, or to produce, publish, and disseminate their religious materials.
Local ulama (Islamic scholars) have declared takfir on another group in Pakistan, the Zikri of Makran in Balochistan. The Zikri believe that Syed Muhammad Jaunpuri (born in 1443) was the Mahdi (redeemer) of Islam. In 1978 the ulama founded a movement (Tehrik Khatm-e-Nabuat) to have the Pakistan state declare the Zikris as non-Muslims, like the Ahmadis.[15]
Salman RushdieEdit
The case of Salman Rushdie provides an example of takfir that featured prominently in Western media. Rushdie went into hiding after Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa in 1989, officially declaring him a kafir who should be executed for his book The Satanic Verses, which is perceived[by whom?] to contain passages that draw into question the basis of Islam. Similar cases have occurred in Egypt: for example, Nasr Abu Zayd was accused[by whom?] of apostasy following his work on Islamic sources, describing the Qur'an as a historical document.[16]
GIA in AlgeriaEdit
During the Algerian Civil War of 1991-2002 the Islamist insurgent group the GIA (Armed Islamic Group of Algeria) under amir Antar Zouabri issued a manifesto in 1996 entitled The Sharp Sword, presenting Algerian society as resistant to jihad and lamented that the majority of Algerians had "forsaken religion and renounced the battle against its enemies". Zouabri at first took care to deny that the GIA had ever declared takfir on Algerian society itself.[17] But during the month of Ramadan (January–February 1997) hundreds of civilians were killed in massacres,[18] some with their throats cut. The massacres continued for months and culminated in August and September when hundreds of men women and children were killed in the villages of Rais, Bentalha and Beni Messous. Pregnant women were sliced open, children were hacked to pieces or dashed against walls, men's limbs were hacked off one by one, and, as the attackers retreated, they would kidnap young women to keep as sex slaves.[19] The GIA issued a communiqué signed by Zouabri claiming responsibility for the massacres and justifying them—in contradiction to his manifesto—by declaring impious (takfir) all those Algerians who had not joined its ranks.[20] While the GIA had been the "undisputed principal Islamist force" in Algeria two years earlier,[21] the slaughters drained it of popular support and led to the end of "organized jihad" in Algeria.[20] (The issue became complicated by evidence that security forces cooperated with the killers in preventing civilians from escaping, and may even have controlled the GIA.[20])
The constitution of Tunisia (passed after the Tunisian Revolution of 2011), criminalized takfir by placing a ban on fatwas that promote takfir.[22]
Islamic State of Iraq and the LevantEdit
The Islamic State has been heavily criticized for applying takfir to Muslims who oppose its rule.[23] According to journalist Graeme Wood in mid-2015,
Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks.[24]
The tendency of the group to target Shia Muslims with suicide bombings has been credited[by whom?] to the fact that the group considers them apostates.[25]

Takfir[:] Pronouncement that someone is an unbeliever (kafir) and no longer Muslim. Takfir is used in the modern era for sanctioning violence against leaders of Islamic states who are deemed insufficiently religious. It has become a central ideology of militant groups such as those in Egypt, which reflect the ideas of Sayyid Qutb, Mawdudi, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn Kathir. Mainstream Muslims and Islamist groups reject the concept as a doctrinal deviation.Leaders such as Hasan al-Hudaybi (d. 1977) and Yusuf al-Qaradawi reject takfir as un-Islamic and marked by bigotry and zealotry.

The Islamic State claims religious legitimacy for its actions. This is based on an extreme salafist/takfiri interpretation of Islam that essentially means that anyone who opposes its rule is by definition either an apostate (murtad) or an infidel (kafir). Although much of the Muslim Middle East is salafist, takfirism is widely considered a step too far, and the absolutism of The Islamic State has already attracted criticism, even from ideologues who support al Qaeda.

HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Education and Training (MoET) has requested that tuition fees at all education levels should be made public.
In a document sent to the people's committees of provinces and cities nationwide, the ministry said the tuition fees for public education in kindergartens, primary, junior and high schools will be adjusted according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the 2016-2017 school year.
Accordingly, the people's committees of the provinces and cities can decide the tuition fees for public kindergarten and primary schools based on the economic conditions of the localities and their area's social standard of living.
With regard to tertiary education and vocation training under the MoET, the collection will be based on the tuition fee cap regulated under Decree 86/2015/ND-CP, which prescribed the collection and management of school fees of educational institutions under the national education system.
Tuition fees for full time education and short-term training classes will be collected based on a consensus between students and education institutions to ensure transparency.
Tuition fees for public higher education at university and self-financed vocational training schools should be collected according to the economic and technical standards and their expenditure should be decided by responsible management authorities to ensure their operation. However, it must not go higher than 150 per cent of the fees of institutions which have the government's financial support.
Students with special circumstances, such as those whose families contributed to the revolutionary cause or who reside in border provinces, mountainous and disadvantaged areas or orphans with disabilities will still be granted tuition exemption, the MoET said.
The increase of tuition fees should not take place at the same time as the hike in health care service to limit its effect on CPI.
The MoET also asked local authorities to closely supervise the operation of extra classes and the monitor the illegal collection of school fees. Strict punishment should be imposed on organisations and individuals that violated the rules, it said. — VNS

Every year around this time, in the midst of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the IIHF holds their annual World Championships. Why? We're not exactly sure. After all, it's the best teams of the NHL that make the playoffs, and there's a damn good chance that they are the best teams because they have the best players. So why not hold a World Championships which will prove once and for all which country is the best in a tourney of above-average hockey players? Let's do it!!!!
This will continue until Korea shocks the world and wins the damn thing. Richard Park is a Golden God.
But just because national honor is at stake in a series of sub-NHL caliber hockey games doesn't mean we can't celebrate the sport. And is there a better way to celebrate the sport than old hockey players playing in an Alumni Game? After the jump, we look at match-up, forget the names of our grandkids, and fall asleep in front of the TV by 4pm.
QUEBEC CITY – A Champions Alumni Game with former hockey stars will be played when the current World Championship players have a day off, on May 15 at 19:00 at the Colisée Pepsi. The event is a remake of a similar game during the 2007 World Championship in Moscow between the World Stars and Team Gazprom.
That's right, we've got old Russians versus the World in this high-octane tilt. There were two eras in my memory where old-school Soviets ruled the world. The first occurred back in the sixties and seventies, you know, before Kurt Russell wore silly pants and beat them in the Olympics. And second, the mid-nineties consisted of Detroit assembling every Russian they could find to destroy American values. And certainly, both generations will combine to show other old people who rule the right to control the remote at the Sleepy Acres Community Center. Valeri Kamensky, Alexander Medvedev, Slava Fetisov, and Vladimir Lutchenko – who is coming out of retirement after snapping his leg in two during a Simpsons cameo – will suit up for Gazprom.
But who will defend the world from Communism? Scott Young.
Look, I understand that not everybody can be a former superstar. Hell, if everyone could be a superstar, well then, not even heated skate blades could thaw this new Cold War. Here's part of the press clipping:
The game will include Roy – as a skater, not a goalie – on the World Stars team along with former stars such as Kurri, Glenn Anderson, Mats Naslund, Esa Tikkanen, Scott Young and Ray Ferraro.
Nice. Patrick Roy will be there. So will a few of the Oiler dynasty forwards. Even Mats Naslund still outshines Markus in the race for Best Naslund ever. And if Ray Ferraro wasn't a career top liner, John Buccigross is doing his best to make us think he was. But Scott Young? But Hex! He was a 40 goal scorer! (once)
I'm not saying Young isn't good enough to play in an Alumni Game – he's far from it, considering they're letting Jim Balsillie of all people play. But why does he get top billing? Sean Burke and Jyrki Lumme are no doubt insulted.
LeNoc, care to defend the honor of a longtime Blue?

Detecting the minute vibrations caused by earthquakes that happened thousands of kilometres away with a simple piece of equipment sitting in your own school creates a 'wow' moment for students — and sometimes staff as well.
The instruments required to do this are surprisingly simple — and some can even be made by teachers in a school workshop.
Designed specifically for use by schools, free software allows users to record, view and analyse data from a wide variety of simple seismic sensors.
Networked computers can also share the data that they record with other users around the world in realtime and users without their own sensor can use the software to view data from other stations in the UK and worldwide.
More information about analysis and datalogging software.
It is possible, and very useful, for schools that are operating their own seismic recording sites to share the data that they record online.
Schools using jAmaSeis datalogging software can make use of the live streaming facilities within jAmaSeis to share data in real time via a link to the jAmaSeis data server (located in Seattle, USA).
Once a data stream is linked to the jAmaSeis server, this data is then available to any other users of jAmaSeis software anywhere in the world in real time (with a data buffer of seven days' worth of data maintained on the jAmaSeis server).
This is especially useful for schools wishing to share data access and analysis opportunities with pupils (and teachers) remotely, even if that means on a computer in another room in the school or at home.
School users can also manually select seismograms associated with specific seismic events on their own dataloggers and to save these event files as distinct data files in the .sac data format.
The .sac data files can then be manually uploaded to the schools seismology website and made available to share with other users.
Mindsets Online have a long history of developing and marketing seismology resources aimed at schools.
The slinky based sensor (c.£30) is great for demonstrating principles and sensitive enough to detect P-waves from distant events or local sources (Mindsets SEP 067). This unit works well the USB digitiser (Mindsets SEP 064).
USB seismometer interface (c.£75) for use with slinky seismometer, or any simple seismometer design, (Mindsets SEP 064)
Vibration detector (c.£25), for classroom and tabletop experiments measuring vibration signals (Mindsets SEP 171).
This unit works with the microphone input of a PC soundcard using any sound recording software (e.g. Audacity)
Garden gate SEP seismometer (now discontinued).
Mindsets sold over 600 of these simple mechanical sensors between 2006-2016.
A very simple seismometer can be constructed at home from just a mass on a spring with a magnet and coil as a transducer.
Seismometers need to detect very low frequency signals to record earthquakes and to do this with a mass-spring arrangement you either need a very heavy mass or a very weak spring so that the natural oscillation frequency of your mass-spring system is lower than the signal you are trying to detect.
Boise State University in the USA have also produced a design for a slinky seismometer (TC1), or you can simply construct one yourself at home. The TC1 sensor will interface with the USB digitiser (Mindsets SEP 064) sold by Mindsets.
You can make your own simple seismometer using Lego, plus a metal spring, magnet, coil and digitiser unit.
We provide full instructions of how to build your own Lego seismometer.
You could program a Raspberry Pi in Python to collect and log data from a simple seismometer, such a slinky sensor, via an analogue to digital converter (ADC).
We provide detailed instructions of how to make a RaspberryPi datalogger, produced by an A-level student.
US company Infiltec produce a "black box" seismic sensor based on using a small geophone.
This is a small vertical sensor which lacks the sensitivity or low frequency response of other designs but is very robust and easy to install, it is compatible with Amaseis/Jamaseis datalogging tools.
Infiltec do not have a UK distributor but the sensors may be ordered from the Infiltec website for c.$350 +taxes +shipping.
Many consumer electronics goods now use microchip MEMS accelerometers to detect motion e.g. smart phones, tablets and games controllers. These MEMS accelerometers can also be used to detect ground motion.
At the moment, they are not sensitive enough to detect signals from distant earthquakes, however if an event happens nearby the data that they record can be quite useful.
Basic MEMS accelerometer with USB interface such as the JoyWarrior24F8.
iPhones and android smartphones have several apps available that turn the devices into a seismometer.
Apple laptops have an accelerometer built into them which can be used as a seismometer using SeisMac 3.0 for example.
The Quake-Catcher network makes use of computers fitted with either inbuilt accelerometers (Apple laptops or IBM Thinkpads) or PCs with JoyWarrior USB accelerometers to act as strong-motion seismometers.
The Quake-Catcher network monitors activity from the accelerometer using the computers background processing capability. Each time an event is detected the results are collected by the Quake-Catcher control centre at Stanford University. This is effective for measuring the large signals from nearby earthquakes on thousands of home computers.
You are going to use what you learned from detecting vibrations to make a more robust and realistic model seismometer.

In September 2018 exam sitting the Professional Essentials papers will be replaced by two papers: Strategic Business Leader and Strategic Business Reporting.
The Strategic Business Reporting paper will replace the current P2 paper. If you have completed P2 before the September 2018 sitting you will keep this pass and will not need to sit the new Strategic Business Reporting paper.
The Strategic Business Leader paper will replace both the current P1 and P3 papers. In summary, the exam:
- is a 4 hour closed book exam with all compulsory requirements
- tests the content of the syllabus in a number of requirements totaling 100 marks
- has no preseen information, but will present students with 12-18 pages of information on exam day
- requires the student to take on different managerial or consultant roles to answer the requirements
- will comprise 80 marks for technical content and 20 marks for professional skills
For students planning ahead, it is important not to find yourself in September 2018 having only passed one of current P1 and P3. Should this happen you will still need to sit the new Strategic Business Leader paper and the paper you have already passed will essentially be "lost". You should plan to have either passed both P1 and P3 by the June 2018 sitting or have passed neither and instead take the Strategic Business Leader paper from September 2018 onwards.
Other changes include a new Ethics module, which will replace the current module from October 2017.
For a complete summary of the changes please follow here.

Investors who follow gun manufacturers such as Smith and Wesson Holding Corp (NASDAQ: SWHC) and Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc. (NYSE:RGR) may think that December's double-digit percentage decline was an exaggerated reaction to the announced effort on stricter gun control.
2013's rally in these stocks hints that investors may not be as concerned now that more is understood about the proposed gun legislation. On January 18th, The Motley Fool published the article, "Poll Shows Americans Want Stronger Gun Laws… Sort Of." One of the main points in that article was that most Americans polled were not in support of an assault weapon ban or a high-capacity magazine ban for firearms, although there is a general consensus that background checks in relation to private party sales should be enforced at gun events. Here's what we had to say about this situation after the November Presidential Election.
With that said, legislation for assault weapon restriction could still move in either direction. This article questions if this legislation is really holding a proverbial gun to long-term investors' heads, and we can look at what some hedge funds doing with their Smith and Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co. holdings to get an idea of what bigger players in the market are doing.
Jim Simons' hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies, has upped its stake in Smith and Wesson by 55% compared to the previous quarter. Simons reduced his Sturm, Ruger & Co. position by about 18%. This is likely just some profit taking on recent highs, however (see Simons' entire 13F portfolio here). Route One Investment Company, meanwhile, is another major hedge fund that currently keeps 2.2% of its total funds in Smith and Wesson along with 1.34% in Sturm, Ruger and Co (see Route One's other stock picks). That's a strong vote of confidence from two well-managed hedge funds.
Let's get back to the crux of the situation. The estimated market cap for domestic non-military modern sporting rifles, the targeted style of gun in new legislation, represents approximately 18.7% of the total firearm market, and about 18.2% of Smith and Wesson's net sales. Rifles in general (modern sporting rifles and hunting rifles weren't distinguished in Sturm, Ruger & Co's 2011 financial statements) accounted for about 25% of total sales. It wouldn't be fair to say that all of this revenue would disappear for each company if a ban on assault rifles were implemented, though. Some of Smith and Wesson's revenues come from military and law enforcement sales, and the same can be said for Sturm, Ruger & Co.
Smith and Wesson's 2010 10-K states: "During the surge in consumer demand after the 2008 presidential election, modern sporting rifles represented the fastest growing segment of the long-gun market."
Investors can't be led to seriously believe that the big players investing in gun producers didn't see the immanency of an assault rifle ban coming, can they?

Mission + Vision
Looking at our current and future purpose and practice, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts envisions a thriving organization, one that stewards its public and private assets—art, finances, facility, and people—responsibly and with an eye to sustainability, and provides compelling experiences centered on human creativity valued for their significant contributions to the individual well-being of its citizens and visitors and to the rising vibrance of the City, County, and Region.
The first Museum located at Central High School, 1930
The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1930 and is the oldest fine arts museum in the state. Begun by artist John Kelly Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Harry S. Houghton, and the "Morning View Painters" in an abandoned school building provided by the City of Montgomery at an annual rent of one dollar, the Museum has always had an abiding interest in American art. The original museum building may have been small, but our programming was adventurous. Early loan exhibitions featured furniture, silver, china, pictures, and historical relics, often on loan from local or regional collectors. Special traveling exhibitions included such important collections as English and American Portraits from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and two presentations of Renaissance paintings from the Kress Collection. Even from the earliest years of existence, it was clear that Montgomery's new art museum was committed to exhibit artworks of national and international significance, as well as the work of its most talented area artists.
Fitzpatrick greatly influenced the Museum, his painting Negro Baptising, 1930 (1930.23.1) has been considered as one of the jewels of the collection since it was acquired in 1930. Followers and students of Fitzpatrick, such artists as Warree Carmichael LeBron and Mildred Nungester Wolfe are represented in the museum's permanent collection.
Also counted among the earliest acquisitions were assorted historical items, Indian artifacts, and geographical materials, along with works by regional artists. However, one extraordinary gift propelled the Museum's permanent collection more deeply into the realm of American painting. In 1936 the Museum acquired the 96 piece Margaret C. and Frederick W. Freer Collection of American paintings, watercolors, and prints. This momentous gift included works by Frederick Freer, and others by his friends and colleagues, great American painters and teachers such as William Merritt Chase, Frank Duveneck, and J. Frank Currier.
By the 1940s the Museum's collection had grown to more than 300 paintings, incorporating the Dr. Isaac Monroe Cline Collection of early American portraits and an assortment of paintings by Southern artists. Not all the acquisitions were by American artists, that direction had not yet been put in place; however, the focus was overwhelmingly regional and national, and as such, the foundation for an encyclopedic American painting collection was firmly set in place. The creation of this foundation set in motion the first of the physical moves for the museum.
The 1950s, 60s, and 70s
The Museum on South McDonough Street, 1959
In 1959 the Museum became a department of the City of Montgomery and moved to what was considered then to be a state-of-the-art museum/library complex on McDonough Street. This new facility elicited excitement and growth in attendance, support, and acquisitions. The Museum Board further shaped the Museum's future by determining that its mission should be to collect fine arts and deaccessioned its historical artifacts collection. The private Museum Association, as it does to this day, continued to own and maintain the art collection, and, through membership fees and development efforts, provided funds for special exhibitions and selected operational expenses. With a more stable structure and source of annual support, the Museum was finally able to fund most basic professional positions including the director, curators, a registrar, a librarian, education staff, a development department, business, security, and maintenance personnel. In recognition of the Museum's overall professional quality and growth, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts was the first museum in Alabama to be awarded accreditation by the American Association of Museums (now American Alliance of Museums) in 1978. Subsequently, the museum was re-accredited in 1992 and 2003.
A watershed event for the Museum occurred when the board of trustees ultimately changed the collecting policy to concentrate on building a first class collection of American art. For the first forty years of its existence, between 1930–1970, the museum's collection included decorative arts, crafts, historical objects, and archeological items in addition to fine art. On October 18, 1972, the Museum board formally adopted a restricted acquisitions policy to collect paintings by 18th, 19th, and 20th-century American artists, works on paper by American and European artists, both Old Masters and contemporary, and Southern regional art, both historical and contemporary. Since that time the Museum has only expanded its collecting interests modestly to include European 19th-century paintings, Southern folk and outsider art, and certain forms of decorative arts.
The 1980s and 90s
Groundbreaking for the new Museum building in Blount Cultural Park, 1986
As the Museum celebrated its 50th birthday in 1980, it was also honored with the establishment of the Weil Print Fund ensuring a first rate and growing collection of European historical works on paper from Mr. Adolph "Bucks" Weil, Jr. and his wife Jean, who gave the Fund in honor of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Weil, Sr. Mr. and Mrs. Weil, Jr. continued to augment the Museum's holdings with gifts of old master prints from their personal collection throughout their lives.
By 1980 it became apparent that the museum/library configuration was increasingly limiting the growth and capability of the Museum. Building a new facility would require unprecedented vision, leadership, and cooperation. Numerous dedicated arts supporters undertook the project to build a new state-of-the-art museum. Robert S. Weil, Mayor Emory Folmar, and Ida Belle Young were visionaries in the inception of the campaign. With a commitment from the Montgomery County Commission to share equally with the City in the Museum's future operational expenses, a gift of land for the site, and $1 million in pledges from private individuals, the Montgomery City Council passed a $3 million bond issue in 1984 for the construction of the Museum that opened in 1988. Later, a gift of forty-one American paintings from Blount, Inc. and 35-plus acres of land from Mr. and Mrs. Winton M. Blount allowed the Museum an opportunity to significantly expand the size and quality of its permanent collection and to become the visual arts component to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in the existing Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park. With the addition of more than $3.4 million in contributions from individuals and businesses, the Museum's magnificent facility became a reality.
A pair of early American portraits, Erastus Salisbury Field's Bartlett Doten and Augusta Mason Doten came to the Museum in 1986, given by Mr. and Mrs. James Lucien Loeb. In making this gift, Mr. and Mrs. Loeb continued an established family tradition of exceptional generosity toward the Museum. As a member of the Museum's board of trustees, Mr. James Loeb's father, Lucien Loeb, was instrumental in articulating the vision of the Museum for the future in the 1960s and 1970s. He worked actively to raise funds for important acquisitions, to build the Museum's membership, and to structure private funds to support the Museum's mission. On April 17, 1974, he was recognized by proclamation of the Museum board for his unwavering dedication and service to the success of the Museum program. Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Loeb also gifted the Museum in 1968 its first pieces of First Period Worchester Porcelain, a tea set from 1775–1785. From that initial gift, Mr. and Mrs. James Loeb developed a collection of First Period Worchester Porcelain that has evolved over the years into a superb collection that is the highlight of the Museum's decorative arts holdings.
The gift of the Blount Collection of American paintings instantly transformed the Museum's holdings, making the Museum's collection one of the finest surveys of American painting in the Southeast. Its forty-one paintings by thirty-three artists span more than 200 years of art history and reflect America's diverse cultural heritage and history. Ranging from John Singleton Copley to Edward Hopper, the collection is a comprehensive sampling of American painting by some of this country's more renowned practitioners.
The Museum galleries soon were enhanced by gifts from many more generous community donors. Long-serving board and Acquisition Committee member Charles H. Wampold and his wife, Babette gifted a number of American paintings to the Museum including works by Alfred Thompson Bricher, Stormy Seascape, ca. 1883-85 (1989.12), Elliot Daingerfield, Moonlit Landscape, ca. 1915–1920 (2000.13.1), and Walt Kuhn's Albig's, from 1908 (1997.11). Such generosity as that demonstrated by Red Blount, Mr. and Mrs. Wampold, and Mr. and Mrs. James Loeb was contagious. Many other fine works began to come into the collection as a result of private donations. For example, a beautiful landscape by Ernest Lawson, Inwood, Upper Manhattan, ca. 1918-1922 (2003.18) was bequeathed to the Museum from the estate of long-time board member Fred A. Richard in 2003.
So generous was the Montgomery community that the Museum soon needed even more space, and long-time Museum supporter Ida Belle Young provided it with an unsolicited gift that added a 5,000 square foot exhibition wing. The Young Gallery was dedicated in 1993 primarily to house permanent collection; however, because of the generous scale of the three galleries, the space frequently is used for rotating exhibits of contemporary American art and Southern regional art from the museum's permanent collection, as well as an occasional loan show.
The 2000s
Construction of Lowder Gallery, 2004
In 2006, the Museum added a further 23,000 square feet that nearly doubled the size of the ARTWORKS interactive gallery, provided two more studios for classes and enhanced exhibition space. This latest expansion was made possible by the leadership and support of Mayor Bobby Bright, the Montgomery City Council, the Montgomery County Commission, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts Board of Trustees, and many generous businesses and individuals. The Museum was also gratified to learn that Ida Belle Young had made provision in her estate for a magnificent, and transformative, gift to the MMFA. In April of 2007, the Board of Trustees established the Ida Belle Young Acquisition Endowment, designated, in accordance with Ms. Young's wishes, for the purchase of traditional American art. Utilizing these funds has allowed the Museum to purchase outstanding and important examples of American art by artists such as Mary Cassatt, 1844-1926 (2009.6), William Sidney Mount, 1807-1868 (2011.4.2), and Severin Roesen, 1816-ca. 1872 (2012.17) that have significantly enhanced the collection. In 2018, the Museum will celebrate its 30th anniversary of being in Blount Cultural Park.


text: Stories And News Latest News £25,000 Cancer Patient Transport Link Launched Jersey Cancer Trust (JCT) and Wessex Cancer Trust (WCT) have teamed up to provide Jersey cancer patients with a free transport link when in Southampton. Nearly 200 locals per year have to travel and stay in Southampton for cancer treatment including chemotherapy and radiotherapy often lasting many weeks. This can be a stressful time being away from home, family and friends sometimes for up to 6 weeks at a time. With the recent announcement that Jersey Health and Social Services Department had switched Jersey patients accommodation from Jury's Inn to new self-catering apartments at Ocean Village, the WCT old and ageing Daisy Link bus needed to be reviewed. The Daisy Link bus service, also funded by JCT, has ferried thousands of islands between Jury's Inn and Southampton Hospital over the past 10 years. However; the new accommodation is further away from the Hospital than Jury's Inn, which added to the complexity for patients attending appointments. The JCT had received a donation from the St Martin's Gymkhana & Fete Committee, so this seemed the ideal time to team up with WCT to look after those Jersey patients when in the UK by supporting the purchase of a new bus. Colin Burgess, Chairman of the Jersey Cancer Trust commented, "From feedback we have received, of all the support services the Jersey Cancer Trust provides, the daisy link minibus always proves to be the most important to those patients having to travel to Southampton for their treatment. So when we heard that the current minibus was coming to its end of life, and that the new accommodation is further away, we were delighted to be able to step in with £15,000 to secure the bus service. We have utilised funds donated to us by the St Martin's Gymkhana & Fete Committee as a result of their annual charity Guy Fawkes bonfire night. This is an essential service for Jersey patients and we are extremely grateful to the St Martin's Committee for their very generous donation." Heather a current Jersey cancer patient first to use the new service, "The minibus is a huge help. Without this service I would be spending large amounts of money on taxis and public buses. Using this transport means I don't have to worry about how I'll be getting back to my accommodation, as I know a friendly minibus driver will be there hourly." Cait Allen, CEO of Wessex Cancer Trust added, "We have a long standing relationship the JCT, and we are committed to supporting all Wessex cancer patients including those that visit Southampton from Jersey. As well as the bus service many Jersey patients attend our drop in centres and take alternative therapies. Without JCT support we would not have been able to purchase this new bus, which will now be operated by us for Jersey patients."

Gunning for T10 with 175+. I thought this may be helpful for some out there. If you follow this guide you will essentially have looked at every PT (whether that be through drills, sections, or full PTs), gone through all Kaplan Mastery, and every LG by type from 7-41. Note that 41-current LSATs are not included in the LG breakdown because you want to save the most recent for the last month-month and a half. Also, note that the LG schedule is on pithypikes method. So, for example this first month you will be completing all linear games (basic/advanced), and the second month you will be completing all remaining LG (grouping, hybrid, sequencing, etc.) Thus, you must avg. at least 3 new 3 old games per day to make this cycle work. I think everything else is fairly self explanatory. Some may think this is time intensive, but rest assured it is more than possible. I am a full time student working part time, and have way too many dumb UG softs I'm involved in. PM me if you want particulars
March 6 – April 5 (31 days)
LR: 12 questions/day in Kaplan Mastery (minimum)
• Assumption, Strengthen/Weaken, Flaw
LG: 3 new, 3 old games/day in LG booklet (minimum)
• All linears
RC: 1 full passage/3 days in actual PTs
4 timed PTs
10 LG sections, 10 LR sections timed
Superprep A (end of month)
April 6 – May 5 (30 days)
LR: 14 questions/day in Kaplan Mastery (minimum)
• Inference, Principle, Parallel, Paradox, Method of Argument, Main Point, Role of a Statement, Point at Issue
LG: 3 new, 3 old games/day in LG booklet (minimum)
• All grouping, sequencing, rare
RC: 1 full passage/3 days in actual PTs
10 LG sections, 15 LG sections timed
SuperPrep B (middle of month) SuperPrep C (end of month)
3-5 additional PTs timed
May 6 – June 5 (31 days)
15 PTs, Full review
This is my study schedule consolidated with pithypike's method, mine and several other TLSers. Studying LRB/LGB is necessary as well. I've already read both several times so I didn't include it. If your scores are lacking on timed PTs, consider looking at SOS' method of timed/untimed PTs.
Also keep in mind that 20+ gains are possible. The LSAT is about practice and hard work. If you want a 175 you will score a 175
March-June Study Schedule for June 2011

Re: March-June Study Schedule for June 2011
Thanks for this. I've been trying to figure out the best angle of study for June using pithypike's setup with limited hours, and this is perfect.
Good luck!

At a judicial status conference, held in open court on November 14, 2008, and now reported into the electronic case records of the PACER system last night, Judge Cavanaugh has apparently ruled in favor of the plaintiffs here, on four of five major points — and deferred to a later date the fifth point: a statute of limitations tolling issue, not yet fully-in-play. He'll decide that one later, unless subsequent developments moot the issue (make it irrelevant, from a legal point of view).
A new MDL order is proposed to be entered, shortly, reflecting all these developments — and it would beat back almost all of the dubious suggestions (along the lines I had earlier detailed) offered by Schering's trial counsel. In essence, 20 days from when the order is signed, Schering and Merck will begin turning over each of their file cabinets on ENHANCE matters, company-wide, for discovery. That alone — so called "early discovery" — is a huge victory. From an earlier letter on these subjects:
Of nearly equal importance, Judge Cavanaugh has not bought the argument that every plaintiff in every action must be subject to discovery — this, usually being a clever tactical move, to thwart the otherwise efficient class action pre-trial discovery process, and tip the playing field in favor of corporate defendants. Typically, then, the corporate defendant will run background checks on all the thousands of plaintiffs in each case, and possibly bounce the entire class for any shenanigans a few may have undertaken. But Judge Cavanaugh is having none of that cream-puff canard.
This ruling will allow the plaintiffs to concurrently explore several theories of recovery, without hampering their rights — as to any other avenues, in the near term. This is the way multi-district litigation coordination was actually originally-envisioned. Meritorious claims will rise naturally, to the top. No more piece-meal discovery; no more inconsistent rulings — and if a corporate defendant is "truly, completely in the clear" — it may quickly demonstrate that fact, from its treasure-trove of exonerating documentary evidence. Um. Don't. Hold. Your. Breath. Here.
Do trust me on this — there'll likely be little-to-none of that, here — as to Schering, and the individual defendants — Mr. Hassan, et al. Here is a graphic-image of the salient page — click to enlarge:

TUCSON, Ariz. — Two men ran onstage and threw custard pies at conservative columnist Ann Coulter as she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona, hitting her in the shoulder, police said.
University police arrested the men but did not release their identities.
In her half-hour speech Thursday night, Coulter trashed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and derided liberals and Democrats while saluting conservative students who attended her speech.
Coulter writes a column for Universal Press Syndicate. Her appearance was sponsored by the UA College Republicans.

The other night I was making turkey burgers in my kitchen and I glanced over at my "Steel Cut Oats" and thought…hmmm, let's throw these guys into the recipe and experiment!
- 1 lb. ground Turkey
- 1 cup oats
- 1/3 cup egg whites
- Eden Organic no salt-added tomatoes
- Nu-Salt, Pepper
- 1 tsp. Chili Powder
- 1 cup finely chopped Vidalia onion
- 1/3 cup bran crumbs (you can use mashed crackers, pretzels, etc.)
- Bread of Choice (Buns, Pitas, Wrap, Flat Bread, Naan)
- Kale/Collard Greens
- 1 Fresh Tomato, sliced
- Cooking Spray
- Veganaise, Mustard, Ketchup for topping (if desired)
- Combine the first 7 ingredients in a bowl and mix well
- Divide into 6 burgers (1/2 inch thick)
- Heat grill pan and spray with cooking spray over medium-high heat
- Add patties and cook for 6 minutes on each side (or until fully cooked)
- Place each patty on your choice of bread (above) along with slices of fresh tomato, kale, collard greens.
- Add Veganaise, Mustard, or Ketchup if desired
- Enjoy!
These delicious burgers turned out to be quite a success and I loved the texture with the oats. I paired these burgers with a side of my butternut squash fries!

Just a little summary of what we did at Roots Tech on the second day, Friday, February 13…
This day's sponsor: Findmypast.com
Keynote speakers: D. Joshua Taylor (who is Family History Director at Findmypast) and his two co-hosts on Genealogy Roadshow, Kenyatta Berry and Mary Tedesco.
Laura Bush, former First Lady of the United States.
And her daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, who is currently a presenter on NBC's Today Show and an at-large editor for Southern Living magazine. Fascinating commentary from each of these popular stars in American culture and entertainment had the audience enthralled. Honestly, I came away feeling that Laura Bush, someone who is the closest thing to royalty in the US, and who has been right at the heart of some of the most shock-and-awe historical events of the past few decades, was everyone's personal friend, neighbor, and down-home confidant. What a fantastic morning; I didn't want it to end.
But I had to get to class and see what Roots Tech had in store to teach me.
My first class was called Impossible Immigrant, taught by Warren Bittner. It was my favorite class of the entire conference, because it spoke deep down into my heart and soul that Bittner found his seemingly untraceable ancestor from Germany, and therefore, I can hope to find some of mine, too! He presented the class as a case history, which format he tended to like as far as genealogy classes go. I liked it immensely.
Next, we had lunch with some great friends and co-workers from the mission.
We messed around in the Expo Hall, and [my fault entirely] missed the class we wanted to go to next. So we went to another class about Your Digital Afterlife, by John Wylie. By the time it was over, the crowd was growing into a crush outside, and it was a hassle getting anywhere. I heard people muttering "s'like salmon swimming upstream" en route to class more than once! So we skipped the last class of the day and went back to the room, where I hoisted my swollen ankles upward and caught up on some jet-lag induced sleep deprivation. Next on the agenda was the Cultural Event, which was supposedly an hour but we suspected it would be longer, and we were correct! We were treated to performances on the Expo Hall stage from a cowboy band, a Scottish pipe and drum troupe with adorable Highland dancers, and Chinese, Asian, and Polynesian dancers.
Then we walked to the City Creek Mall and had dinner at the Blue Lemon, where we had fresh black bean ravioli, artichoke and tomato chicken, slow-braised short ribs with house-made demi-glace, and our meals were delicious–and so must have been the eventual meals of the hundreds of other diners, who were lined up waiting to get in.
BTW, if you want to view some of the sessions of Roots Tech 2105 that were recorded, you have only to go to the Rootstech.org link and click on the link "Previous Sessions" and then choose from many.

I haven't said much about our appliances because they are often so utilitarian.
But wait.
Here's what: I got the most basic of all stoves because cooking is a necessity. I have a glass top stove in the Savannah house that we are renting out and I really never enjoyed it.
We went to pick out the stove and the guy started at the very top of the line. I think he saw my eyes start to cross because clearly I wasn't interested.
"Show me the cheapest, bottom of the line model. You know, the one with the burner squiggles like I grew up with."
We walked past every single stove, oven, drop in, freestanding and whatever else. It was even a little dark in the corner of the cheapest stove known.
It stood, in all its basic glory, beckoning to me. "Let's cook…..or not," it said. This square metal thing spoke my language. If it had said, "No, wait, let's just eat out!" I would have wrapped my arms around it and kissed it right smack in the clock. Here's my little cheap friend. So basic. Not showy. No filter either. What you see is what you get. We were meant to be. I'll tell you about the dishwasher while Ninja Man measures whatever he's measuring underneath the cheapest stove known to man.
The dishwasher is the ONLY thing we kept out of the original disgusting house. Ninja Man assured me it was new. So new, in fact, he's not sure it was even used. I made him check it from stem to stern to be absolutely certain there was nothing disgusting about it. He did and he has proclaimed it perfect. Now that fridge is a whole 'nother story.
I saved money on the stove, got a free dishwasher so the fridge was my splurge.
Did I get the one that will text me when we run out of cheese? No. I'm not THAT bad off. But I did get one with some features I will use all the time. There's a water and ice dispenser on the left door but that right side… ohhhhh. It does THIS. Ok, now don't be thinking that's my actual fridge. This is a screenshot from the interwebs. The ACTUAL one has no food in it yet. We just got plumbing and electrical finished so I haven't felt good about having food stored on temporary power.
But THAT LITTLE DOOR Y'ALL!! Isn't it the cutest? I know. I'm gonna be playing house big time.
"Would you like some ketchup with that?" My guest will look up from their coffee, confused, but quickly realizing I'm in my playing-house mode and they will completely understand. We will then discuss where to go to dinner. (They will know my stove is mostly decoration).
There's a water heater which irritated us because it had to be here- then moved there- then had to be covered like this and that. Just heat the water. You have ONE job water heater.
There's a built in microwave too. I have no clue what it looks like or what it cost. I was busy hugging the refrigerator and hubby just went to aisle 12 or somewhere and came back with a microwave. It was all very magical.
What's next at Six Little Acres? Oh, we never know. But we are very eager to get in there and call it home!
Thanks for stopping by! Please pray for Wren (on FB: Hope for Wren)
God bless.
