When it comes to selecting a convertible car seat, the choices are seemingly endless. Peg Perego hails from Italy and is a familiar face in the world of infant seats. The Primo Viaggio Convertible has some excellent features, a few drawbacks, but overall is a very nice car seat. Could it be the one for you? Check it out.
I installed the Primo Viaggio Convertible in several vehicles rear and forward facing, with lower anchors and with the seat belt. I didn't run into any major issues, although installation with lower anchors was significantly easier than the seat belt installations that I did.
There are dual lower anchor straps with push button connectors that are easy to attach to the vehicle's lower anchors. Rear facing, the seat left a surprising amount of space for a front passenger. In this photo, the Primo Viaggio Convertible is adjusted to its highest rear facing position in a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. There is still plenty of space for a front passenger to sit comfortably.
Forward facing installation with LATCH was equally easy. The Primo Viaggio Convertible does sit fairly high up on the vehicle seat, but even when adjusted to the highest headrest position there is plenty of room for the child to easily climb in and out. The Primo Viaggio Convertible allows lower anchors to be used up until the child weighs 40 pounds, at which point the seat should be installed using the seat belt.
Forward facing seat belt installation is relatively straightforward. The seat does have lock off clips on each side of the forward facing belt path. The manual states that the clips are for stability only and do NOT replace the seat belt's locking mechanism. You must lock the seat belt in addition to using the lockoff clips.
Accessing the rear facing seat belt path of the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 5-70 is much easier from this angle.
Installation using the seat belt was a little bit tricky, however. The rear facing belt path has two openings that the seat belt must go through, and there is empty space in between. The manual directs you to lay the seat flat as shown to allow access to the opening of the second slot and assist in feeding the seat belt through. The process is awkward and frankly, it tends to eat hands.
Once the seat is buckled in, it doesn't leave the installer a good angle to pull the seat belt tight. It took quite a bit of work to remove all the slack from the belt because of the awkward angle.
The Primo Viaggio Convertible allows use of the tether when rear facing as long as the seat was manufactured after March 2013, which can prevent excessive rotation of the seat in a crash. Wrap the included d-ring strap around the rail of the vehicle seat forward of the child seat, then attach the tether and pull snug. There is a handy storage compartment to stow the excess tether strap webbing after everything is hooked up. Many vehicle manufacturers now prohibit rear facing tethering, so be sure you know your vehicle's rules before using this.
I used this seat rear facing for my daughter (6 months, 14 pounds, 26″); and both rear and forward facing for my son (5 years, 40 pounds, 42.5″ with a 15″ torso).
My 6 month old fit nicely both with and without the substantial infant insert, however I preferred the fit without. The insert boosts the child high enough that the crotch buckle can be used on the outermost position, which is nice because on the innermost position the buckle is somewhat swallowed by the non removable belly pad. The picture to the left is without the insert, right is with the insert. The manual allows you to use the insert as long as you would like when rear facing. The harness strap covers are optional, and they were a bit bulky on her so I left them off. With the insert, the bottom harness position is 7.5″, making it low enough to fit a tall newborn.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that my 5 year old, who has outgrown many rear facing convertible seats in height, fit rear facing in the Primo Viaggio Convertible. The Primo Viaggio Convertible allows rear facing up to 45 pounds and up to 1″ from the top of the headrest in the 7th headrest position, which is about 24″ tall. He fit comfortably and asked to ride this way several times as we tested this seat.
My 5 year old also rode in the seat forward facing, and was very comfortable. He really liked how high up the seat sits ("I can touch the ceiling, mom!") and he loved the red color.
The harness strap covers were perfect for him. He has about an inch or so of torso growth room before he will exceed the 17″ top harness position.
FAA Approval: The Primo Viaggio 5-70 is approved for use on airplanes. The FAA approval sticker is located on the left side of the shell.
Extra Storage: There is a storage spot for the locking clip and rear facing tether D-ring at the top of the the back of the Primo Viaggio 5-70.
I found the seat easy to use with both children. The harness adjustment is very easy to tighten and loosen, and the infant insert and two positions for the crotch buckle gave great versatility to get a perfect fit on both kids. The high rear facing weight limit, generous rear facing height room, rear facing tethering capability, and oodles of easy to use features make this seat a keeper!

The Eternal Question: TNG or DS9

For me, this really came to a head in the episode where Eddington gives himself up to Sisco. Was that For the Uniform? Sisco turns psychopath and Dax just kind of smiles like he's just this naughty boy.
I don't mind that a character would do that, but I do mind if the show writers seem to take his side when he does.
Regardless of what the writers think, I personally cannot support what Sisko does. That's one thing that I like about DS9 and some of later TNG was that the shows became less preachy and allow the audience to come to their own conclusions.
And that makes it all the more engaging.

I went back and looked at my own season by season ratings of TNG and DS9. For every episode I just used one of three ratings: good, meh, or awful. This was the result:
TNG:
Season 1: 3 good, 15 meh, 6 awful
Season 3: 16 good, 9 meh, 1 awful
Season 6: 12 good, 11 meh, 3 awful
Total: 60 good, 86 meh, 29 awful
DS9:
So on the whole, DS9 beats out TNG. The only two seasons where TNG surpasses DS9 are Season 3 (because that was the all-time high of TNG, while DS9 just improved modestly from the prior year) and Season 6 (DS9's most uneven season overall, while TNG rallied a bit before falling off the abyss for its final season).
Interesting. I would rank them thusly, so far:
Season 2: 9 good, 9 meh, 4 awful
Total After Five Seasons: 69 good, 41 meh, 15 awful
Season1: 6 good, 11 meh, 2 awful
Total after Five Season: 66 good, 50 meh, 6 awful
By this reckoning, I have DS9 ahead, too, but that's definitely not how I feel about the series. I like my head to head match ups better, because then good is broken down into decent, good, really good and outstanding and so on. DS9 did not have many bad episodes at all, and its percentage of good episodes is pretty much the same as TNG's through five seasons, but whereas TNG had 9 outstanding episodes after five seasons, DS9 had one. The head to head match ups, I think, are a better indicator.

But Dax's reaction to Sisco is a clear indication that the writers still consider him, and still expect us to consider him, to be a good guy. That's hard to do after what he did. I can enjoy Silence of the Lambs because Hannibal Lector and Wild Bill are never portrayed as anything other than what they are. In DS9 - and my understanding is that this is going to get even worse with In the Pale Moonlight - Hannibal Lector has now become some sort of a hero.
Yes, it's an exaggeration to call Sisco Hannibal Lector, but the basic idea is the same: a character should not behave in that fashion and still be treated by the writers and the camera and the other characters as some sort of hero.

Eddington had enough of the poison to destroy EVERY Cardassian colony in the DMZ. Plus, he disabled the Malinche. Who knows how many people he actually killed on that ship.
I think Sisko did the only thing that would bring some sense of balance in that area.
It's one thing to defend your homes, which is what the Maquis were all about at first. Then they got on the offensive. They became full blown terrorists. You don't get to poison a Cardassian colony that has nothing to do with your home, disable TWO Starfleet ships, threaten to clear out every Cardassian colony in the DMZ and still get to be called a 'Freedom Fighter'. You're a terrorist.
And before someone uses the Bajoran Resistance as a comparison, the Cardassians INVADED their system and used their people as slaves. Bajorans were fighting for their freedom.

Since we're talking seasons...
TNG gets better the first three years. The 1st has too many smiles, too much music, especially early in the run. They do some dark plots, but it always felt like the show wasn't serious enough, where it needed to be.
The aesthetics are better, the music gone, in season 2. The camera work is more subdued. While the season has some awful plots, due to the writer's strike, two episodes examine what this show becomes--Q Who and The Measure of a Man.
Three is the show--creative, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Season 4 and 5 are the meat of show, and my personal favorite. Picard and the Borg. Data's emotion chip. Worf and his son, a return to honor. O'Brien and Cardassians. Dr. Beverly and a Trill lover. Ensign Ro and the Bajorans. Spock and Picard. Wesley and the Academy.
More than the character moments, there are terrific standalone episodes of exploration. Clues involves Data keeping things from the crew and it turns out he is acting on Picard's orders because of xenophobes. The Malcorians are about to make first contact before Riker is attacked in their capital. A charlatan plays the Devil in a society where a deal with the devil, generations ago, gave them peace and prosperity. There are the people trying to communicate, but disrupting REM sleep, instead, driving the crew insane. There's the explorer turning Barclay into a genius, confident because he needs to know how we would respond in the Nth Degree. Picard and the moral conundrums of Old age, the Salem Witch trials, and harming a space creature that thinks the Enterprise is its mother. Or aiding Gowron in a Civil War.
Just some amazing work that has set the course for Trek since then. DS9 is getting a separate post.
HaventGotALife, Jun 22, 2019
Spirit of 73 and Longinus like this.
It is similar on DS9. Season 1 had three standout episodes--The Emissary, Duet, and In Hands of the Prophets. The show often is dark, for no reason. The characters become shades of gray, but DS9 in its first season, is just a negative Trek.
Season 2 builds the characters we know while season 3 establishes the central conflicts, with and within, the Dominion.
Season 4 is the Cold War with the Dominion. The fear and terror of the antagonists examines what the powers and decision makers would do with this threat.
Season five is a cooling of this conflict and it gives time for the DS9 characters to go through some growth. Negotiations between The Dominion and the Alpha Quadrant powers leads to Sisko starting a war, a jarring turn for a Trek series.
The war did not disappoint. Losing command of DS9, the war arc of six episodes to retake the station are the best of the series. Just writing about it makes me long to watch it.
As good as the war was in season six of the show, season seven is a hodgepodge of ideas that showed why the show should've ended it sooner, or gone off the air. Like season 1, there are notable exceptions. But, the overt way the war is handled, is a disappointment. While seasons six and seven of TNG were worse, season seven of DS9 just seems like wasted potential.
4 and 6 have very few bad stories. And they remain my favorite.
Farscape One said: ↑
One big problem with this is that it is simply unrealistic. In real life, escalation leads to more escalation. Not only did Sisco act like a terrorist - any excuse you can make for him can just as easily apply to Eddington - but it worked and brought a quick resolution to things. Is there any episode in human history that lends any credence to this whatsoever?
Longinus said: ↑
With due respect, I think DS9 presents it in a different way than TNG. TNG came across as smug, arrogant and holier-than-thou, especially earlier on. They looked down upon 20th-century humans and regarded them as nearly irredeemable.
While DS9 had its preachy moments (especially from Worf at times, as well as Sisko) I never came away with the feeling that I had to agree with them or else.
So, yes, it very well could be "tough men making tough decisions" but I can at least relate to them without feeling like I was forced to agree.

I re-watched both recently. I prefer DS9 in pretty much every respect.
TNG at its best is wonderful, but its average episodes don't interest me at all. I wound up skipping nearly two thirds and even had to abandon some part-way because they were so much worse than I remembered (Rascals is atrocious!).
Part of it is that I like the DS9 characters and cast much more - it makes average episodes much more watchable when the interactions are still enjoyable. DS9 also felt much less formulaic and predictable.

Never said I did. Most of the skipped ones I just wasn't interested in re-watching.
I'd describe very little of Trek as "unwatchable", but that doesn't mean that I would choose to spend my time re-watching things I don't find particularly entertaining.
Greg Cox Admiral Premium Member
I can see that. TOS is far and away my favorite Trek series, but if I'm in a mood to watch TOS, I'm not going to feel compelled to rewatch "Miri" or "The Alternative Factor" just because. There are too many better Trek episodes to put on instead.

Yes, but then there is the tendency to rewatch certain episodes to the point where they become unwatchable. These days I prefer either finding alternatives to rewatching (such as finishing VGR) or going through an entire show once a decade or so, and even then if there is some kind of an underlying motivation (such as TOS-R or TNG in HD).

I have been gradually FORCING myself to re-watch TNG because I now have all seven seasons on BR disk, and feel obligated. I look at the menu of each disk in S6, which is where I'm at, and it's literally (maybe) one out of every four episodes that I'm actually interested in watching.
For every Chain of Command or Tapestry, there's seemingly three Rascals, Aquiel, Man of The People, Realm of Fear, etc. Frigging dull and uninspired. It's maddening.

I confess I'm not really into rewatching entires series from start to finish. If I want to rewatch a favorite ep, I'll rewatch a favorite ep, but I'm not going to embark on a systemic attempt to rewatch an entire series from start to finish, be it STAR TREK or XENA or anything else. I know TOS by heart because those original 79 eps were rerun endlessly in syndication the whole time I was growing up, but I've never actually rewatched any of the latter-day shows in their entirety.
Same with the movies, actually. I've watched Khan and the whales more times than I can count, but I can go decades without watching TMP and have only watched most of the TNG movies once.
P.S. Don't get me wrong. I watched all of the later series religiously during their original runs, and still revisit some episodes from time to time, but I'm probably never going to sit down and watch any of them all the way through again. There's too many new shows to watch.

Watching TOS's first season at least in production order is interesting because you can see how they were slowly retooling the series from its early experimental phase to what we consider "classic TOS" by the back end of the season. They were clearly making up canon on the fly, for example, which is why Spock wasn't defined as half Vulcan until The Carbonite Maneuver, Starfleet wasn't mentioned until The Menagerie, and the Federation isn't referenced until Arena. Also, early TOS experimented with different formats, trying an ensemble format at times (Charlie X) and a focus on Kirk/a guest star (Dagger of the Mind) before Gene Coon realized the magic in the Kirk/Spock/McCoy interactions. For that reason, I'll even watch the bad episodes in the first season. I'll never watch the bad ones in the second, and especially the third, season again however.

Cultural Approaches to Studying Religion : An Introduction to Theories and Methods
Cultural Approaches to Studying Religion
This is the first book to provide an introduction to contemporary cultural approaches to the study of religion. This book makes sophisticated ideas accessible at an introductory level, and examines the analytic tools of scholars in religious studies, as well as in related disciplines that have shaped the field including anthropology, history, literature, and critical studies in race, sexuality, and gender.
Each chapter is written by a leading scholar and includes:
· the biographical and historical context of each theorist
· their approaches and key writings
· analysis and evaluation of each theory
· suggested further reading.
Part One: Comparative Approaches considers how major features such as taboo, texts, myths and ritual work across religious traditions by exploring the work of Mary Douglas, Phyllis Trible, Wendy Doniger and Catherine Bell.
Part Two: Examining Particularities analyzes the comparative approach through the work of Alice Walker, Charles Long and Caroline Walker Bynum, who all suggest that the specifics of race, body, place and time must be considered.
Part Three: Expanding Boundaries examines Gloria Anzaldúa's language of religion, as well as the work of Judith Butler on performative, queer theories of religion, and concludes with Saba Mahmood, whose work considers postcolonial religious encounters, secularism, and the relationship between "East" and "West."
Reflecting the cultural turn and challenging the existing canon, this is the anthology instructors have been waiting for.
For primary texts by the theorists discussed, please consult The Bloomsbury Reader in Cultural Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Sarah J. Bloesch and Meredith Minister.
"[An] important resource for any religious studies course that includes a theoretical dimension." - Nova Religio
"A fresh, concise introduction to some of the most important theorists of religion in recent decades. A must for future courses on theoretical approaches to the discipline." —Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis, USA
"What distinguishes this introduction from its more traditional predecessors is its robust insistence that neither the lived experience nor the study of religion can be separated from issues of cultural context, power, and identity. The result is an innovative guide to the field that models the relation of theory and praxis." —Mark A. Chancey, Professor of Religious Studies, Southern Methodist University, USA
"I cannot endorse this highly enough. Many introductions to religion and culture claim a fresh perspective, but Bloesch and Minister give so much more in this accessible and exciting volume. Religious Studies students need ?Cultural Approaches to Studying Religion." —Dawn Llewellyn, Senior Lecturer in Christian Studies and Deputy Director of the Institute of Gender Studies, University of Chester, UK
"This is the book so many have asked for in secret. Keeping up with the widening field is an increasingly difficult task. Finally there's a way to fill in some of the gaps. It reminds readers that the study of religion isn't a genuflection to past thinkers but a generative, ongoing conversation. And you'll want to take part!" —Richard Newton, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, The University of Alabama, USA
"This volume not only fills a glaring lacuna in the available handbooks, it breathes new life into the theory and methods course in religious studies." —Kent L. Brintnall, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

Q: How to substitue character matches with trailing characters from the same text line? I'm using pdftotext to convert Spanish language text.  Characters with accents or tildes are output in a systematic way that requires further conversion.  Accents and tildes appear in the converted text in the correct position but without the letter.  The letter almost always appears at the end of the output line.  When it doesn't, I can fix those by hand.
For example, the pdf sentence
¿Por qué?

becomes
¿Por qu´? e

I know enough about sed, awk and grep to think it can be done with some combination of those - and that it would take me a long time.  I intend to use this to process all the pdf files in a folder.
The sentences appear in Spanish-English pairs on separate lines.  I'd like to concatenate the two with a semicolon delimiter, the import format of my flash card app (Anki).  Delete all the content that are not Spanish-English sentence pairs.
For example, convert this output
B:

¿Por qu´? e
Why?

into
¿Por qué?;Why?

Where there are multiple accents, tildes or a mix of both, the letters trailing the line are in the correct order and may be comma separated by commas.  For example, the pdf sentence
Sí pero vi en la televisión que iba a llover.

becomes
S´ pero vi en la televisi´n que iba a llover. ı, o

or
    S´ pero vi en la televisi´n que iba a llover. ı o
Output File Format
The sentences always have an end punctuation, either "!", "?" or ".".  For those unfamiliar with Spanish, vowels (aeiou) are the only letters which may have an accent, the letter "n" is the only one that may have a tilde, and the 2 special characters may be found on both upper and lower case letters.
The first output line may contain the level and title of the pdf. The level and title always precede the first occurrence of "A:"
I'm not interested in the line "Key Vocabulary" or anything that appears on any subsequent lines.
pdftotext run with UTF8 encoding.  My OS is Linux Mint 9, which is based on Ubuntu 10.04
Below are two sample output files.
Output 1
Elementary - Credit Card A:

B:

I'll bring it to you right away.

B:

Output 2

(B0079)

B:

A:

B:

Key Vocabulary

Verb

to work

A: I think it would be difficult with sed or awk…
I suggest using Perl or Vim commands to do that (if you know to use Vim) :
A vim command would be:
:%s/^.\{-}\zs´\(.*\.\) ı\(,\|$\)/í\1/
:%s/^.\{-}\zs´\(.*\.\) o\(,\|$\)/ó\1/
:%s/^.\{-}\zs´\(.*\.\) e\(,\|$\)/é\1/
: " etc

And repeat until there is no more vowel at an end of line after a full stop.
\zs sets start of match, and \1 is back-reference to .*. put inside brackets in matched regexp.
If you want to process all pdf files, do as follows:
vim *.pdf
:set hidden   "allows modifying a not-on-display buffer
:bufdo %s/^.\{-}\zs´\(.*\.\) ı\(,\|$\)/í\1/
:bufdo %s/^.\{-}\zs´\(.*\.\) o\(,\|$\)/ó\1/
: " etc
:next         "allows you to see other buffers to validate
:bufdo w      "will save all buffers
:q            "will quit

A: Edit: Minor change to the NR == 1 line to accomodate variations in the first line of the input file. For this to work, it depends on "A:" only appearing once in the first line.
I also should add that this program depends on features of GNU AWK (gawk).
There seem to be some inconsistencies between your two output examples. The program below works with the first one. In the second example, this line contains both header and a data line:

Elementary - My computer is not working A: ¡No puede ser!

and this line contains the character to be substituted within the line rather than after the final punctuation.

Rein´ ıciala.

These issues could be accommodated by modifying the program if needed.
Also, you mention that these characters will be separated by commas, but the examples don't have them (in the one place where it might have appeared). It doesn't matter because my program ignores commas.
You can run the following program like this:
$ ./scriptname inputfile

Here it is in all its kludginess:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
BEGIN {
    FS = "[.?!]"
    chars["n"] = "˜ñ"
    chars["N"] = "˜Ñ"
    chars["a"] = "´á"
    chars["A"] = "´Á"
    chars["e"] = "´é"
    chars["E"] = "´É"
    chars["ı"] = "´í"
    chars["I"] = "´Í"
    chars["o"] = "´ó"
    chars["O"] = "´Ó"
    chars["u"] = "´ú"
    chars["U"] = "´Ú"
}

/Key Vocabulary/ {exit}

    NR == 1 { sub(".*A: *","",$1) }

    /^\(.*\) *$/ || \
    /^(A|B): *$/ || \
    /^ *$/ \
        {next}

    punct = gensub($1"(.)"$2,"\\1","",$0)

    for (i=0; i<=length($2); i++) {
        char = substr($2,i,1);
        if (char != " ") {
            sub(substr(chars[char],1,1),substr(chars[char],2,1),$1)
        }
    }

    printf "%s%s;", $1, punct

Spring is a special time of year for high school students, particularly for the seniors, who are wrapping up their last moments of required schooling.
While graduations mark the end of the journey, and a time to reflect, proms allow for one of the final moments for seniors to let their hair down (or put it up, as it were), and make some final memories before heading off to the workforce or college.
Prom season has begun in full force. Our photographers have been out capturing these galas and these memories. Several schools have already had their proms, but several more are in the works.
We enjoy bringing you some of the moments from these proms, and capturing these last moments of the school year.
It's also a time to remember that prom season is a time to have fun, but also a time to be smart. For students, that means refraining from illegal substances and driving safely. Don't make this spring memorable for the wrong reasons. For adults, it means talking to your students about good choices, and not engaging or promoting illegal activities.
We hope all the high school students enjoy their proms, and graduations, safely holding on to those memories that will last a lifetime.


A good go-to-market strategy involves testing product-market fit and validating your idea with a minimum viable product (MVP). So, in theory, you shouldn't ever be fully rolling out a product or service nobody wants to buy.
Despite that assumption, however, I still see would-be entrepreneurs online all the time asking the painful question: "Why doesn't anybody want to buy from me?"
When sales are slow, a number of different factors could be at play: Maybe your approach to marketing and promoting your product needs tweaking. Or maybe you just haven't built up enough name recognition with your target audience.
1. Do people really want what you're selling?
2. Are you clearly conveying the value of your product or service?
That said, plenty of situations occur where there's demand for your offering; but people just don't understand what you're selling or why they should buy from you. If they don't see your value, they're simply not going to buy.
Alexander Michael Gittens, in a post on LinkedIn, summed up this scenario well, stating, "No one has ever purchased a product or service. Whether we realize it or not, we have only ever purchased 'value.'"
Gittens went on to give the example of purchasing food at a grocery store versus a restaurant. If you spend $100 at each place, you'll have spent the same amount of money, but received vastly different value, depending on whether you prioritize your ability to buy food for multiple meals, or the experience of dining at a fancy restaurant.
So, what does "value" mean in the context of your business, and how can you determine whether you're clearly demonstrating it? As a starting point, consider that BigCommerce has reported that, "The top three factors that are very or extremely influential in determining where Americans shop are price (87 percent), shipping cost and speed (80 percent) and discount offers (71 percent)."
These specific variables may or may not apply to your company or your target customers, but if you can't say for certain what those people value, you've got some homework to do.
3. Are people ready to buy when you're reaching them?
Finally, keep in mind that just because someone didn't purchase from you right away doesn't mean that they'll never become a customer. Their reluctance might just mean they aren't ready to purchase yet.
Have you developed content that supports all stages of the buying process?
Have you built an opt-in mechanism to your site so that you can continually reach out to people who aren't ready to buy yet?
Have you tried retargeting to catch those who may be ready at a later time?
Are you mis-timing your most persuasive sales messages to top-of-funnel prospects, rather than those further down the funnel?
As Derek Halpern of Social Triggers argued, "Don't be pushy all the time. Be pushy at the right time."
If you've gone through all three of these questions, made the necessary changes to your messaging, targeting and timing, and still aren't seeing results, it may be time to conclude that nobody wants what you're selling. As difficult as that may be to hear, embrace it. Don't continue to throw time, money and effort at a failed project. Instead, put those resources toward making your next great idea a winner.

Dreaming wool indicates good things. In dreams, wool is often associated with money. It is said that if you dream about wool, you fully deserve having good things in your life, since you are a trustworthy, dependable and virtuous person who will not avoid the responsibilities and will always give effort. Dreaming of yourself while covered in wool suggests an increased income. Wearing wool clothes indicates financial problems and debt. Dreaming of wool furnitures like rugs, pillows etc. are beneficial and indicates a happy family and a loving spouse.
Dream interpretation of the wool thread is wealth. It suggests that you will earn a lot of money and you will notice an increase of your income. Dreaming about a wool yarn ball indicates that you may have a fortune in the future.
Selling wool in your dream is interpreted in two way: While dreaming about selling wool in a cold, wintery, rainy or a snowy weather indicates new job opportunities and increased earnings, dreaming of selling wool in a hot, clear sunny day suggests having drawbacks in life and being under pressure.
Dreaming of a wool mattress symbolizes plentifulness. Since it also signifies the happiness, love, respect and companionship between spouses, ultimately it indicates to the happy days in the future. It also suggests that you will save up some money and you will make the right decisions for the future. While it suggests a financial increase, it also means you can achieve your goals by making use of your abilities and determination. Another interpretation of wool mattress is building a happy family.
Washing wool in your dream suggests indecisiveness and spontaneity. It indicates that you will fluctuate between different decisions and mindsets. It also suggests that you will have a sudden marriage, or you will enter an unexpected relationship. If you are the one who's washing the wool in your dream, this indicates that you will be fortunate and you will travel to new places often.

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome: Knowledge to Date
Data Sources: Peer-reviewed articles were identified through searches of PubMed using the terms "Middle East respiratory syndrome," "coronavirus respiratory illness in Saudi Arabia," and "novel (beta) coronavirus and human coronavirus Erasmus Medical Center". In addition, articles were searched on the websites of the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention using the terms "Middle East respiratory syndrome" and "novel coronavirus in Middle East." The reference lists of these articles and relevant review articles were also reviewed.
Data Synthesis: The emerging Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus causes severe pulmonary disease with multiorgan involvement and a high fatality rate. Within months after its emergence, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus was reported in several countries worldwide in people who had traveled from the Middle East. Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus is considered a zoonotic virus that has crossed the species barrier to humans, but the pathogenesis and the routes of transmission are not completely understood. There is currently no recommended treatment for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, although supportive treatment has played an important role.
Conclusions: This syndrome has raised global public health concerns about the dissemination of an emerging infectious disease and highlights the need for a coordinated global response to contain such a disease threat.
Key Words: communicable diseases; coronavirus; pneumonia; Saudi Arabia; severe acute respiratory syndrome; viral RNA

Understanding Glaucoma
iStent inject® W
iStent inject® W What to Expect
iStent inject® W Innovative Design
A few years ago, Connie noticed her vision was becoming blurry and assumed she needed a stronger prescription for her glasses. After visiting her eye doctor, she learned she was living with glaucoma, a condition caused by increased pressure in the eye due to an imbalance in production and outflow of ocular fluid. Connie knew that her glaucoma, if left untreated, could dramatically impact her vision. Connie values spending time with her family, so she refused to let her glaucoma interfere with the things she loves the most.
Impacting Her Quality of Life
Connie, 68, happily spends her retirement on the beach after working in the Admission's Office at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington for much of her career. As someone who prefers to stay busy, Connie also likes to spend time with her six grandchildren, work in the yard, and craft. At her yearly checkup with her eye doctor, Connie reported that she had recently been experiencing vision changes, including blurry vision. Connie was diagnosed with cataracts, which were causing her immediate vision issues, but after determining that the pressure in her eyes was higher than normal, Connie's eye doctor also diagnosed her with glaucoma. Connie has no family history of glaucoma, but was relieved to receive an early diagnosis, as glaucoma generally has no symptoms until vision is already lost. Wanting to feel prepared, Connie researched glaucoma to gain a better understanding of the disease and the potential risk of vision loss.
Over the next couple of years, Connie's glaucoma was treated and monitored by her eye doctor. Like many people living with glaucoma, Connie has had to rely on daily medications to help control her condition. Taking medications can be expensive, painful, time-consuming, and interfere with everyday activities. Coupled with progressive vision loss, it can decrease confidence for many people. However, Connie religiously applied drops twice a day, morning and night, in order to manage her glaucoma.
Understanding the Need for Timely Treatment
As her vision continued to decline, Connie's eye doctor referred her to ophthalmologist Dr. Katherine Ochsner of Ochsner Eye. Dr. Ochsner recommended that Connie be treated with an iStent inject® W during her cataract surgery. The iStent inject® W is one of the smallest medical devices known to be implanted in the human body and can effectively reduce pressure in the eye. Once vision is lost due to glaucoma, it cannot be regained. With this in mind, Connie did not hesitate to be treated with iStent® while undergoing cataract surgery.
Since cataract surgery requires at least two weeks between each eye procedure, Connie would need to be treated on two separate occasions. On December 2, 2020, her right eye was successfully treated with iStent inject® W at the same time as her cataract surgery. Connie's second treatment was on December 16, 2020, when her left eye was treated with iStent inject® W during her cataract surgery. In Connie's case, this treatment eliminated the need for medication to treat her glaucoma.
With iStent inject® W stents in place in both eyes and her glaucoma under control, Connie is happy to be back to enjoying her favorite activities. She is looking forward to taking her grandchildren on outings and visiting family out of town, all without worrying about potential vision loss.

Barbara was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts eight years ago. For many years she was able to manage her glaucoma with drops. However, she became concerned when her glaucoma began to worsen and she experienced double vision. It wasn't until recently that Barbara discovered iStent inject® W as an effective way to reduce eye pressure.
A 66-year-old active retiree, Bill loves spending his days playing basketball, tennis, and golf. When he was diagnosed with glaucoma, he became worried that any potential vision loss could impact his ability to play his favorite sports. As someone with a family history of glaucoma, Bill knows firsthand the devastating vision loss that glaucoma can cause if left untreated. So when he also began developing cataracts, his ophthalmologist introduced him to iStent inject® W, one of the world's smallest implantable devices that can have remarkable benefits for glaucoma patients with cataracts.
Michael first noticed changes to his vision eight years ago when he began seeing black spots while driving. He visited a local ophthalmologist, who decided to run some tests. Shortly thereafter he was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts. This ultimately led to another health discovery – Michael had diabetes. Overwhelmed by both diagnoses, he put his busy life on hold and sought treatment for his deteriorating vision.

The iStent inject® W Trabecular Micro-Bypass System Model G2-W is indicated for use in conjunction with cataract surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma.
The iStent inject® W is contraindicated in eyes with angle-closure glaucoma, traumatic, malignant, uveitic, or neovascular glaucoma, discernible congenital anomalies of the anterior chamber (AC) angle, retrobulbar tumor, thyroid eye disease, or Sturge-Weber Syndrome or any other type of condition that may cause elevated episcleral venous pressure.
Gonioscopy should be performed prior to surgery to exclude congenital anomalies of the angle, PAS, rubeosis, or conditions that would prohibit adequate visualization of the angle that could lead to improper placement of the stent and pose a hazard.
The iStent inject® W is MR-Conditional, i.e., the device is safe for use in a specified MR environment under specified conditions; please see Directions for Use (DFU) label for details.
The surgeon should monitor the patient postoperatively for proper maintenance of intraocular pressure (IOP). The safety and effectiveness of the iStent inject® W have not been established as an alternative to the primary treatment of glaucoma with medications, in children, in eyes with significant prior trauma, abnormal anterior segment, chronic inflammation, prior glaucoma surgery (except SLT performed > 90 days preoperative), glaucoma associated with vascular disorders, pseudoexfoliative, pigmentary or other secondary open-angle glaucomas, pseudophakic eyes, phakic eyes without concomitant cataract surgery or with complicated cataract surgery, eyes with medicated intraocular pressure (IOP) > 24 mmHg or unmedicated intraocular pressure (IOP) < 21 mmHg or > 36 mmHg, or for implantation of more or less than two stents.
Common postoperative adverse events reported in the iStent inject® randomized pivotal trial included stent obstruction (6.2%), intraocular inflammation (5.7% for iStent inject® vs. 4.2% for cataract surgery only), secondary surgical intervention (5.4% vs. 5.0%) and BCVA loss ≥ 2 lines ≥ 3 months (2.6% vs. 4.2%).
Federal law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician. Please see DFU for a complete list of contraindications, warnings, precautions, and adverse events.

Toulouse is located in the Midi-Pyrénées region in Southwest France. It is an industrial and economically-dynamic city, especially on the field of new technologies such as aircraft and space industries. It has a large historical centre, which poses some problems to mobility. The SMTC (Syndicat Mixte des Transports en Commun) is responsible for the organisation, exploitation and financing of public transport in Toulouse and its surrounding areas.
Given the scope of projects regarding public transport management and development at the local level, it was decided to create a unique name for all urban transport modes and all activities and competences of SMTC: TISSEO. By joining Polis, TISSEO-SMTC reaffirms its role as the driving force in the extended urban region to implement a rational management policy in mobility, as well as its role as promoter of discussion and exchanges with other European partners to take part in research and development programmes.

Happy birthday to our precious first born... the blonde, bright-spark with a will of iron, and debating skills that would put even the world's top lawyers to shame.
Today, Sym's and I are now the proud owners parents of a teenager, and we are looking forward to the awesome years ahead!!
So proud of you J... and feeling especially old now that you are legally allowed (and have been hanging out for) your own facebook account.
Oh wow, this totally tugged at my heart.
You are my parental inspiration kristy, you know that right?
I am watching and listening and READING to see how its' done, cos I'm not THAT FAR behind you with one of my own.
And it is kinda scary.
How exciting! Happy Teendom to your boy. We'll be joining you in a couple of months..
love the pics, man I would have so much loved to have known you when our boys were little!!
Wow, Jasher is a teenager, I remember meeting him for the first time, so tiny (and a little noisey ;) ha ha) happy birthday handsome!!!!
Happy Birthday!!! Wow Kristy, the mum of a teenager! eek, we will be there in 2 years.
Happy birthday,and congratz to you too,mom and dad!


So we have TPG home internet. Yes they're not great, but all Australian internet is terrible after you've grown up in Singapore.
(Good grief, I miss MaxOnline cable internet fiercely. Since moving back, they've even implemented their own NBN while our politicians and talking heads decry fibre is minimally beneficial. Ah Australia, always on the verge of greatness but never allowing yourself to do it).
That's fairly average. Between 19:00 and 22:00, its' normal to see that dip below 0.80 Mb/s down. Worse still, their peering arrangements result in speeds for the major social networks that are so slow, my tethered iPhone with 2 bars of reception performs better.
As the "IT guy" in the house, I get blamed for this. Normally I'd resent being the face of such an issue, but given it's this bad, I can't say I blame them for their resentment.
The next step is to check the phone line, swap out the modem, run regular tests, graph the results, then move back overseas.
If these fail to turn up anything, we may attempt to cancel our plan, citing their terms of service which lists "900kb/s" as the minimum acceptable speed (which is in itself a joke). I would hope it wouldn't come to that.

Fabulous Floral Waters! Tone & Cleanse Using the Power of Nature - Part 2.
Hi all. Sophie here again with another Fabulous Floral Water Blog. This time it's all about the beautiful Floral Waters of Jasmin and Rose.
As I explained in a little more detail in my previous blog, floral waters are usually categorised as either Hydrosols or Hydrolates.
Our definition is that a Hydrosol is an essential oil dissolved in water and a Hydrolate is the water recovered from the distillation of essential oils.
Floral waters contain many of the benefits of the essential oil but are a lot gentler and can be used directly onto the skin. So, they make perfect facial toners or spritzes that are wonderfully nourishing and hydrating for the skin.
One of the best known (and our most popular) floral waters is beautiful Organic Rose Floral Water. This beautifully sweet scented water can help to hydrate, sooth and balance skin and is especially good for dry and sensitive skin.
Another well-known floral water is Jasmin. Warm and exotic, this beautiful water can help sooth inflamed or irritated skin and is a well-known aphrodisiac.
Essential Oils can be added to floral waters to enhance the benefits. For mature skin Frankincense is a lovely choice as it is a great essential oil for rejuvenating the skin and blends beautifully with Rose.
For more congested skin try adding Juniperberry Essential Oil to Jasmin Water. This helps to cleanse and detox the skin.
Remember that less is more – there's no point in pouring loads of essential oils into these floral waters as you'll overwhelm your skin and cause more problems for yourself. 10-15 drops of essential oil per 200mls of floral water should be plenty.
Always give the floral water a gentle shake before each use. To use, either spritz over the face ensuring eyes are closed or pour a little onto a cotton wool pad and gently wipe over face and neck. Apply after cleansing and before you apply your serum and moisturiser.
You can also spritz for a quick cool down and to quickly hydrate the skin during hot summer days.
Floral Waters not only make gorgeous natural toners but can also be used for a variety of things. Try adding a little to the water when removing your cleanser or pouring into your bath for a luxury, skin pampering treat.
Thank you for reading! My next blog will be all about the wonders of our beautiful Orange Blossom and Geranium Waters. You can also click here to check out my other blogs for more natural skincare tips and recipes.


What do you guys think? It's still up in the air but it may go down next week.

Should post this question to American pit-bull forum, also there is alot of questionable breeding behind one particular line in the alleged pedigree.

This San Francisco hotel was built at the turn of the 20th Century and is located in the Upper Tenderloin Historic District The owner preceding the current operator developed the design of the hotel themed as an homage to Hollywood movies filmed in San Francisco. We were asked to redesign the 65 guest rooms as part of a larger makeover of the property. The current operator requested that we honor the previous design concept but make relevant to today's cultural and social currents. The proposed design draws on imagery from Hollywood backlot sets, film production equipment, and film editing. The design incorporates textures, patterns, and a color palette derived from the golden Era of film and the coincident art deco style prevalent at the time. The resulting design maintains some historical continuity and positions the hotel as a unique edgy boutique property in an emerging trendy district in the City.

'Scandals were part of the Third Mystery of Fatima'
It has become more and more clear in the past few weeks, to all fair-minded observers, that the attempts to pin dirt on Pope Benedict have failed, and that Benedict's tougher stance against abusers started in the latter years of his tenure at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. It has also become clear that then Cardinal Ratzinger had been thwarted in his efforts to pursue a church trial against Rev. Marcial Maciel (the founder of the powerful religious order the Legion of Christ), involved in child sex abuse, and that upon assuming the papacy, Benedict moved against Maciel, ordering him to live a life of reserved prayer while also launching an investigation into the order itself.
At the same time, this doesn't mean, by any means, that sexual abuse by Catholic clergy is not a reality and a real problem. On the contrary, the truth is that the Church is facing its greatest crisis in modern times. And that's what pope Benedict basically said yesterday, speaking to reporters accompanying him on a flight to Portugal. In fact, striking a markedly different tone from other church leaders, Pope Benedict issued his strongest condemnation of the sex abuse scandals rocking the Catholic Church (far more harsh than his March letter to the Catholics of Ireland). Unlike cardinal Sodano, for instance (at the start of the Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter's Square last month), instead of attempting to "minimize" controversy over pedophile priests as hostile press coverage and/or "petty gossip," he said: "Attacks on the pope and the church come not only from outside the church, but the suffering of the church comes from inside the church, from sins that exist inside the church. This we have always known but today we see it in a really terrifying way."
As it was not enough, Pope Benedict, who is expected to travel to the pilgrim shrine of Fatima where Catholics believe that Mary appeared to three young shepherd children in 1917, described how the sex abuse scandals were part of the so-called Third Mystery of Fatima. "Besides the suffering of Pope John Paul II in the Third Message," he said, "there was also indications as to the future of the Church. It is true that it speaks of the passion of the Church. That the Church will suffer. The Lord said that the Church would suffer until the end of the world. Today we are seeing this in a particular way." "The answers that the Church must give," he added, "are penance, prayer, acceptance, forgiveness and also justice because forgiveness cannot replace justice."
In other words, one might think that, as the archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Schönborn put it in a highly unusual attack on a fellow cardinal (Angelo Sodano), "The days of cover up are over." And it was time for this to happen. There's a time for everything, they say, even though there shouldn't have been any time for cover-ups. But what's done is over with, and the future began yesterday. Perhaps the Latin adage, Oportet ut scandala eveniant (it's good that scandals happen), has never been more appropriate to describe a particular historical period, although at times one would be tempted to question its wisdom.

The Austrian School of economics: its Italian roots
Several early Italian economists influenced the development of continental European economic thought in the centuries before Carl Menger, the founder of the Austrian School of economics: Gian Francesco Lottini (1512–1572), Bernardo Davanzati (1529–1606), Geminiano Montanari (1633–1687), and Ferdinando Galiani (1728–1787). Galiani, in particular, with his contributions to value theory, interest theory, and economic policy, had a great influence on the Austrian School of economics itself. Read this article at the Ludwig von Mises Institute website to learn more. Here is an excerpt:
Galiani believed that government generally should not interfere in the natural workings of the economy. A government that attempts to stimulate all sectors of the economy, agricultural and industrial, stimulates nothing. Stimulation means that a particular sector is given preference over the other sectors, and how can one sector be given preference over another if all sectors are stimulated?
Quite interesting, indeed. It's also interesting to note that Friedrich Nietzsche, who was an expert in matters of intellectual excellence, in his Beyond Good and Evil pointed out his "friend" Ferdinando Galiani as an example of Cynic of genius and described him as "the most profound, sharp-sighted, and perhaps also the foulest man of his century" (please note that foul, in Nietzsche's vocabulary, is perhaps the greatest compliment…). He also wrote that Galiani "was far profounder than Voltaire and consequently also a good deal more taciturn."
Furthermore, Galiani's 1769 Dialogues sur le commerce des blés , written in French with vivacious wit and a light and pleasing style (you can read it here), delighted Voltaire, who in his Dictionnaire philosophique ("BLÉ ou BLED") spoke of it as a book in the production of which Plato and Moliere might have been combined ("[Galiani] trouva le secret de faire, même en français, des dialogues aussi amusants que nos meilleurs romans, et aussi instructives que nos meilleurs livres sérieux"). What is surprising is that Galiani is still relatively little known.

Special Appeal for Volunteers to be made soon.
Our parish of St Andrew in Bearsden is very much focussed on preparations for the reopening of the church, in phase 2 for private prayer, and in phase 3 for public Masses, all of which is subject, of course, in getting the green light from the Scottish Government.
In order to reopen, we will need to build up a bank of volunteers to be in attendance in our church during times when it is open for private prayer and for Masses / liturgies. Volunteers' duties will be to welcome and guide people as to the requirements to sanitise hands, to enter and exit via the designated one-way system and to sit in designated places and to wipe down the pew surfaces after each Mass. PPE (mask and gloves), cleaning materials and orientation/training will be provided.
I know that this might be a disappointment to some, but I do have to let you know that the criteria for volunteering required by the current guidelines mean that anyone who has underlying health conditions which requires shielding or anyone over the age of 70 cannot volunteer for this particular ministry at this time.
Volunteers will be required to complete a Volunteer Safeguarding Application form. More details soon about this and training. If you are eligible to become a volunteer, please do seriously consider it. The reopening of our church will depend very much on us having a sufficient number of volunteers.

In the first scene of the first act, three witches plan their next meeting in which they will encounter Macbeth. It is in this scene that the motif is first presented, as the tree witches chant, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through the fog and filthy air"
(1.1.11-12). The witches meet again in scene three of act one. One of the witches discusses a curse she has placed on a woman's husband, because she refused to share her food. This display of evil powers and spitefulness, suggests that the witches may have some influence in the development of the motif. Macbeth enters during this scene along with Banquo, arriving from a victorious battle.
He uses the motif to describe the day as "So foul and fair a day I have not seen" (1.3.38). When Macbeth encounters the witches, they give him two predictions. One is that he will become the thane of Cawdor, and then the king of Scotland. Upon hearing this, Macbeth immediately begins to plan his methods of obtaining these positions, including the murder of the king. Because of this, it may be assumed that he has thought of such actions prior to the meeting. This is an example of what was once fair, a loyal and noble of Scotland, has become foul, an ambitious traitor.
On the night of his murder, king Duncan is invited to a banquet hosted by Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Once there, Duncan describes the castle in a positive manner. "This Castle hath a pleasant seat; the air nimbly and sweetly recommends itself unto our gentle senses" (1.6.1-3). Ironically, Macbeth murders him in his sleep in the castle. The main theme of the play is supported here, as this fair and pleasant castle, has become a foul place of betrayal and murder. This scenario is also seen at Macbeth's second banquet, which he holds to show gratitude and love for his friends. Meanwhile, however, three murderers hired by Macbeth, kills his friend Banquo in order to prevent any threat or opposition to Macbeth's reign.
In her first appearances, Lady Macbeth is presented as an ambitiously evil and foul character that will do whatever it takes to get what she wants. We see this motivation in her when she says, "How tender tis to love the babe that milks me; I would, while it was smiling in my face have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums, and dashed the brains out" (1.6.55-58). In these lines, Lady Macbeth threatens that she would smash her baby's head if it meant achieving their goals. However, after killing Duncan and becoming queen, she realizes her mistakes and is driven mentally ill by it. She is no longer able to live with the guilt and fears of her actions. In her case, we see what was once foul, becomes fair.
William Shakespeare uses nature to develop the theme of the play. Disorders in nature during this time were a result of an evil doing disrupting the natural order of the world. In the play, Macbeth's betrayal of Scotland is the cause of the disorders in nature. An example of these disorders is the woods that Macbeth's messenger claims he saw. "As I did stand my watch upon the hill I looked toward Birnam, and anon, methought, the wood began to move" (5.5.33-35).
Throughout the play Macbeth, the general mood is one of deceit and betrayal. What appears to be fair is foul. This is why it is considered to be the major theme of the play.

New tsunami warning protocol rolled out in B.C.
The B.C. government is upgrading its tsunami warning plans following delays broadcasting emergency information after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake last month.
After the quake struck off the west coast of Haida Gwaii on Oct. 27 at 8:04 p.m. PT, emergency officials in B.C. did not issue any sort of tsunami alert or advisory for 51 minutes, leaving many civic leaders in B.C. wondering what they were supposed to do.
But many communities did start evacuations based on notifications issued by U.S. officials just minutes after the quake was detected.
After questions about B.C.'s response, Justice Minister Shirley Bond ordered a review of the notification protocol, and on Monday she rolled out the changes.
Under the new protocol, when emergency officials in B.C. receive an alert or advisory from the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre, they will immediately email it to a list of prioritized local authorities, emergency responders and media outlets.
The alert will also be immediately broadcast on Twitter thru the @EmergencyInfoBC account and posted on the Emergency Info B.C. website.
Provincial emergency officials will then follow up with direct phone calls to local authorities starting with those in areas of highest risk.
The system appeared to be in operation when a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck about 248 km off the coast of Alaska on Monday afternoon at 12:42 p.m. PT.
At 12:46 p.m., the @NWS_WCATWC twitter account broadcast a message saying there was no tsunami danger for the West Coast from Alaska to California.
A modified version of the tweet was retweeted on the Emergency Info B.C. account at 12:50 p.m.
A mobile version for use on smartphones.
Development of an interactive map for tsunami warning zones.
Digital audio recordings of tsunami warnings posted online.
Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the changes are the direct result of a review that was conducted following the Oct. 27 earthquake.
"We made a commitment to review our earthquake and tsunami response and we are now taking action to implement some of the early recommendations identified," said Bond.
"We have also been in direct contact with those mayors who expressed concern about B.C.'s emergency response reaction time and have communicated with regional district board chairs, local authorities and first responders, gathering their feedback."

Fethullah Gülen covers in his Reflections on the Qur'an a wide array of topics, ranging from piety, worship, sincerity, wickedness, hypocrisy, patience, gratefulness, to guidance, "sakinah," reflection, humbleness, proper worship, and God's "nur" or light. For example, on Surat-al Ahzab, verse 4, Mr. Gülen explains what is meant by, "God has not made two hearts for any man," and how this is related to hypocrisy. Mr. Gülen writes that all people have the tendency to be worshippers of God and that if man does not worship God alone he will devote himself and his admiration to other things besides God; worldly things such as money, power, and fame. Mr. Gülen explains that this verse tells us to devote ourselves to God, because it is not possible for anyone to sincerely worship both God and something else. Therefore, people who are addicted to worldly pleasures can only pretend to worship God to please everyone around them, and the Qur'an refers to these kinds of people as hypocrites.
An important topic of the book is the histories of the various prophets mentioned in the Qur'anic verses. Mr. Gülen carefully examines what God is trying to teach us from these historical accounts of prophets like Moses, Solomon, and Muhammad, peace and blessings on them all. He explains how Solomon transported and disguised the Queen of Sheba's throne, how and why the direction of the prayer was changed from the Dome of the Rock masjid to the Ka'ba, and how Dhu'l-Qarnayn built the barrier between Gog and Magog.
Mr. Gülen writes in a clear and uncomplicated style from the perspective of decades of experience living an austere and self-sacrificing Sufi lifestyle in accordance with the Holy Qur'an. When reading I feel as though Mr. Gülen himself is teaching the reader, and I am reminded of Mr. Gülen's sermons. Anyone who has had the honor to attend one of his lectures should find the style of this book to be friendly and familiar. Although there are a few topics covered which may be difficult to understand, such as God's "Nur," or "Light," most of subject matter does not demand extended contemplation from the typical reader.
Even though most people who read the Holy Qur'an can read it fluently in Arabic, we must not forget that underneath the pleasant sounds lies knowledge and instruction for people of all years and all times past, present, and future. It is imperative for us to try to understand God's Holy Book as best as we can. I believe that the Qur'an is full of wisdom for all of humanity, and I believe that the author of this book does an outstanding and efficient job of revealing that wisdom.
