Hystrichophora macrophylla  Mattf., 1936 è una pianta angiosperma dicotiledona della famiglia delle Asteraceae. Hystrichophora macrophylla è anche l'unica specie del genere Hystrichophora  Mattf., 1936.

Etimologia
Il nome scientifico della specie è stato definito per la prima volta dal botanico Johannes Mattfeld (1895-1951)nella pubblicazione " Notizblatt des Botanischen Gartens und Museums zu Berlin-Dahlem. Berlin-Dahlem" ( Notizbl. Bot. Gart. Berlin-Dahlem 13: 289) del 1936. Il nome scientifico del genere è stato definito per la prima volta nella stessa pubblicazione.

Descrizione
Le specie di questo genere sono delle erbacee con cicli biologici annuali o perenni. Spesso sulla superficie di queste piante sono presenti peli semplici, peli a "T" e anche tricomi.

Le foglie sono disposte in modo alterno (raramente sono a spirale o opposte) oppure rosulate (a rosetta basale). Possono essere sia picciolate che sessili. La lamina in genere è intera e larga; la consistenza può essere membranacea. Le venature normalmente sono pennate. I margini sono spinulosi e dentati. La superficie inferiore è tomentosa; quella superiore è scabro-pubescente. Dimensione delle foglie: larghezza 25 cm; lunghezza 40 cm.

L'infiorescenza è formata da numerosi capolini peduncolati o subsessili spesso in formazioni globose (30 - 50 capolini) ma anche solitari. La struttura dei capolini è quella tipica delle Asteraceae: un peduncolo sorregge un involucro a forma spesso campanulata composto da diverse squame (o brattee) disposte su 6 - 7 serie embricate che fanno da protezione al ricettacolo sul quale s'inseriscono i fiori di tipo tubuloso. Le brattee dell'involucro, persistenti, con forme ovate e terminanti in punte spinose e rigide, sono divise in esterne (brattee allargate) e interne (brattee erette e patenti). Il ricettacolo normalmente è sprovvisto di pagliette (ricettacolo nudo). Lunghezza dell'involucro: 9 – 10 mm.

I fiori, da 5 a 6 per capolino, sono tetra-ciclici (ossia sono presenti 4 verticilli: calice – corolla – androceo – gineceo) e pentameri (ogni verticillo ha in genere 5 elementi). I fiori sono inoltre ermafroditi e actinomorfi.

 Formula fiorale:
 */x K , [C (5), A (5)], G 2 (infero), achenio

 Calice: i sepali del calice sono ridotti ad una coroncina di squame.
 Corolla: la corolla, formata da un imbuto terminante in 5 lobi, è glabra. Il colore varia da blu a bianco.
 Androceo: gli stami sono 5 con filamenti liberi e distinti, mentre le antere sono saldate in un manicotto (o tubo) circondante lo stilo. Le antere alla base sono presenti dei margini sterili; in genere sono prive di ghiandole. Il polline è del tipo triporato (con le fessure di germinazione costituite da tre pori); con polline triporato la parte più esterna dell'esina è sollevata a forma di creste e depressioni ("lophato").
 Gineceo: lo stilo è filiforme con base con larghi nodi o protuberanze. Gli stigmi dello stilo sono due lunghi e divergenti; sono sottili, pelosi e con apice acuto. L'ovario è infero uniloculare formato da 2 carpelli. Gli stigmi hanno la superficie stigmatica interna (vicino alla base).

I frutti sono degli acheni con pappo. Gli acheni, con forme ovoidali, hanno 8 - 10 coste. Sulla superficie degli acheni sono scarsamente pubescenti o sono presenti dei peli sericei; all'interno si può trovare del tessuto di tipo idioblasto e rafidi elongati (quest'ultimi possono anche essere assenti); non è presente il tessuto fitomelanina. Il pappo è formato esternamente da circa 12 squame caduche con forme da ovate a lanceolate lunghe 0,4 - 0,9 mm; internamente si presenta con più o meno 12 squamelle lineari-lanceolate lunghe 4,5 – 5 mm e persistenti. Lunghezza dell'achenio: 3 - 3,5 mm.

Biologia
 Impollinazione: l'impollinazione avviene tramite insetti (impollinazione entomogama tramite farfalle diurne e notturne).
 Riproduzione: la fecondazione avviene fondamentalmente tramite l'impollinazione dei fiori (vedi sopra).
 Dispersione: i semi (gli acheni) cadendo a terra sono successivamente dispersi soprattutto da insetti tipo formiche (disseminazione mirmecoria). In questo tipo di piante avviene anche un altro tipo di dispersione: zoocoria. Infatti gli uncini delle brattee dell'involucro si agganciano ai peli degli animali di passaggio disperdendo così anche su lunghe distanze i semi della pianta.

Distribuzione e habitat
Le specie di questo gruppo si trovano solamente nella Tanzania. L'habitat tipico sono le aree sotto gli alberi fino a 600 metri di quota.

Sistematica
La famiglia di appartenenza di questa voce (Asteraceae o Compositae, nomen conservandum) probabilmente originaria del Sud America, è la più numerosa del mondo vegetale, comprende oltre 23.000 specie distribuite su 1.535 generi, oppure 22.750 specie e 1.530 generi secondo altre fonti (una delle checklist più aggiornata elenca fino a 1.679 generi). La famiglia attualmente (2021) è divisa in 16 sottofamiglie.

Filogenesi
Le specie di questo gruppo appartengono alla sottotribù Erlangeinae descritta all'interno della tribù Vernonieae Cass. della sottofamiglia Vernonioideae Lindl.. Questa classificazione è stata ottenuta ultimamente con le analisi del DNA delle varie specie del gruppo. Da un punto di vista filogenetico in base alle ultime analisi sul DNA la tribù Vernonieae è risultata divisa in due grandi cladi: Muovo Mondo e Vecchio Mondo. I generi di Erlangeinae appartengono al subclade relativo all'Africa tropicale e meridionale (l'altro subclade africano comprende anche specie delle Hawaii) frammisti ai generi di altre sottotribù; si tratta quindi di un clade non ancora ben risolto filogeneticamente.

La sottotribù, e quindi i suoi generi, si distingue per i seguenti caratteri:
 le specie della sottotribù sono principalmente di origine Africana;
 nella pubescenza sono presenti peli da asimmetrici a simmetrici a forma di "T";
 alcune specie hanno delle foglie pennate divise in segmenti;
 le infiorescenze in genere non sono sottese alla base da brattee fogliacee;
 il polline varia da triporato a tricolporato;
 gli acheni possono avere da 4 a 12 coste;
 il pappo è cupoliforme.

In precedenza la tribù Vernonieae, e quindi la sottotribù di questo genere, era descritta all'interno della sottofamiglia Cichorioideae.

I caratteri distintivi per le specie di questo genere sono:
 le foglie sono per lo più raccolte in rosette basali;
 la lamina delle foglie è allargata e tomentosa di sotto;
 le brattee dell'involucro hanno delle punte spinose.

If you are anything like me, when you read your Yahoo! News in the morning or when you listen to it on Fox, you wonder where all these new scientific finds are coming from. I mean, I literally just saw in today's yahoo! news that they have discovered dozens of stars that hold planets that are capable of life forms such our own in galaxies so far away that, as humans, we coudln't live long enough to travel to. This is because we are just one miniscule part of an elaborate existence that is made up of so many parts that our human brains can't process the number. Then, if you are like me you think to yourself that it is sad that you will never be able to experience anything other than what this world has to offer. But, then again, can you? The answer is yes. Read the following and you will completely understand.
I have obtained this item that I'm simply calling Music of the Spheres. It is a music therapy item that will enhance your brain and open up an interdimensional chakra that exists in all humans. I know what you're think, though-- oh yeah, sure THIS hasn't been done before. Honestly, folks, it really hasn't here is why.
Via NASA, the United States Government has been undergoing secrets tests that makes stem cell research look like a book report. In fact, the project has determined that as previously thought, the main function of the DNA in the human body is not for protein synthesis. Rather, DNA are strands of sound and light made up of photons and phonons. These electromagnetic waves of sound and light are the building block of human existence; and it has also been determined that the human body and conscious is primarily activated with ultrasonic sounds that your ears can't hear, but which influence your body to think, to feel, to act, to know, and to do. In fact, the primary function of DNA is in bioacoustics and bioelectric signaling. This means that the way the body is composes is actually closer to the chemical make-up of the universe than we, as humans, have understood.
Take for example, ultrasonic hums that occur in the universe. They completely delegate the energies of the universe, but we will never hear them with our ears. Take for example the hums of our own earth that been reported in different places and along different ley lines of the Earth. How about the mystery sounds the were heard in the United States, Europe, Russia, and Asia in 2012? These are all examples of sound and light as an energy-- of sound and light as the sustanance of life in the universe and a secret way of communication that the human race has never before been able to embrace simply because the government has harbored this knowledge from us.
Examples of sound even show up in religion. Take, for example, the Heavenly Hosts who sing Hallelujah to the Lord. Are they really simply performing some type of metephorical energy ritual? How about the fact that one is encouraged to hum during meditation or the fact that shamans often times use noice to alter the properties of patience who have been possessed or inflicted by some other type of supernatural-- and even normal-- illnesses. It all begins to make sense when you really think about it!!
It will all make perfect, absolute sense with this item. This is because this item contains the biofrequencies that I am calling DNA music. Our DNA is simply the keyboard that produces the music of life. It can be rendered with certain sounds and energies and this piece has been created by the US government to do just that. To bring this all full circle, they have been use the powers in these piece so create a race of people know as the Star Children. The Star Children have harnesses the powers of the ultrasonic song that is sung by this piece and it has opened up and intergalactic sixth sense that allows them direct communication with a host of other dimensions, realms, galaxies, solar systems, races of individuals, powers and abilities. This is how scientists are saying, "Oh, well we made another discovery. It seems like every day their making new strides in intergalactic exploration and the energy that is present in this piece is the sole reason of success.
This piece does not actually let you travel to other planets, realms, galaxies etcetera. Rather, it will infuse your DNA with its power. This will unlock an ultrasonic chamber of your mind and your intergalactic chakra that will send your brain signals out into the universe. They travel ALOT faster than light. You will then be able to "visit" other places, because the electromagnetic frequencies will create a third dimension reality where you will be able to experience other places without actually being there. You will be able to feel the way it feels in other place and to communicate with any entities you may come across. This piece also includes the ability to absorb and gain control over all energies and powers you will come in contact with while using it!


Ok, so I have a serious injury. What's next?
If you've had a devastating injury or death in the family because of medical mistakes, what is the next step?
First, you have to get all of the medical records - everything - the hospital records, radiology records, labs, consultant notes, the actual images of any tests you had, like MRIs, x-rays, sonograms. We can help you get all of the medical records, of course.
Second, we review everything thoroughly, doing our own independent analysis and medical research (and we share all of this with you, usually asking a few more questions and doing a lot of listening).
Third, we send the records to expert physicians and nurses who can give us their independent, professional analysis and opinions.
Let's say you have a child with cerebral palsy and you think it was caused at birth because the doctor delayed the delivery, or there was an infection that wasn't diagnosed and treated, or the residents didn't communicate everything to the attending doctor (yes, this happens).
The expert physicians reviewing your medical malpractice case would have different specialties - OB-GYN, neonatology, pediatric neurology, etc. - to review all of the medical care you and your baby received, but from different angles.

Tag: In Conflict
Ep. #156: Owen Pallett
Owen Pallett is a tremendously gifted multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer who currently lives in Montreal. Pallett was initially acclaimed for his string arrangements for artists like Jim Guthrie, Arcade Fire, Fucked Up, and many others and, particularly when he lived there, he was viewed as a true leader and champion of Toronto's underground arts community. Since releasing his own music, Pallett's profile has risen considerably. He won the inaugural Polaris Music Prize and has been nominated for each of his subsequent solo records; he was nominated for an Academy Award for his work scoring the film Her; and his fourth and latest album, In Conflict, has appeared on many best of 2014 critics' lists. He is a sharp, clever, outspoken young man and he's playing the Hillside Inside festival on Saturday Feb. 7 at 3 PM with Jennifer Castle. Here, Owen and I discuss living in Montreal, the year that was, musicians managing this particular age of media consumption, seeing the content of private Facebook posts go viral, playing with Arcade Fire during the backlash about their latest record, maybe people don't like aging rock and pop bands, provocative extracurricular activities don't necessarily lead to bigger box office sales, turning down a CBC Radio hosting gig, having sex with men, Pitchfork, Slim Twig is a wise person, Win knows best, some people should quit, why we make things, the trajectory of creative lives, people keep talking to me about Blink 182, why Michael Gira might have reformed Swans or Kathleen Edwards might have opened up a coffee shop, playing Hillside during a torrential rain storm that shortened the set, befriending Buffy Sainte-Marie, fortunate Owen, the plan to make a new, dense acoustic record that sounds electronic, Jennifer Castle's "Sparta," and that was it.

Ep. #98: Owen Pallett
Owen Pallett is a tremendously gifted multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer who currently lives in Montreal. Pallett was initially acclaimed for his string arrangements for artists like Jim Guthrie, Arcade Fire, Fucked Up, and many others and, particularly when he lived there, he was viewed as a true leader and champion of Toronto's underground arts community. Since releasing his own music, Pallett's profile has risen considerably; he was recently nominated for an Academy Award for his work with Arcade Fire on the score for the Spike Jonze film Her and he has also touched a nerve with his critical essays of contemporary pop songs for Slate. Pallett's fourth album is a stirring and complex one called In Conflict, which is available in Canada on May 27 via Secret City and his current tour includes stops at La Sala Rossa in Montreal on Friday May 9 and at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on Saturday May 10. Here, Owen and I talk about Columbus Ohio, great Szechuan food, and Dan Boeckner's band Operators, the idea of parenthood and the truth, how kids are the darndest things, disassociation and themes within In Conflict, liminal spaces, sanity, change, and not feeling at home at home, going to Montreal, treating illness like a kind of gift, 'musicians' and 'white people' and music critic Ted Gioia and what prompted Pallett to write his pieces on pop music for Slate, music theory and populism, elevating social media posts and watching them turn into clickbait, his upcoming review of the new Tori Amos record for The Talkhouse, Owen's opinionated streak and where it comes from, what Owen's night at the Oscars was like, Joe Trapanese not Richard Trapunski, eating dinner with Randy Newman, Burt Bacharach, and John Williams, how meeting celebrities you're not working with might be overrated, trying to write music while on the road, future plans, the song "In Conflict," and then boom goes the dynamite.

Start Moore's Law and the End of the Technological Society

Moore's Law and the End of the Technological Society
Digital world | Exponential Technologies | Innovation | Technology
David Barrado Navascués
Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial
Our society has changed dramatically thanks to, among other factors, the emergence of consumer electronics and the omnipresence of computers, due to the constant improvement of their performance and the drop in price. This has been possible because, for the last 40 years, the capacity of integrated circuits has doubled every two years, according to an empirical rule known as Moore's Law. However, several factors have conspired to make this rule begin to stop being valid. What economic and social consequences will this fact have?
Moore's Law has been a guide that has marked technological development since its formulation, but especially since 1991. The different industries involved in Europe, USA, Japan, Taiwan and Korea organized themselves that year to ensure coordination in the complex process of producing integrated circuits or chips. Its objectives included avoiding dysfunctions in supply and for the development of processors to follow Moore's Law, so that they could contain a greater number of transistors. That is, this rule has been self-imposed by the industry. Consequently, it has gone from little more than two thousand transistors in the INTEL 4004 chip in 1971 to more than 1.7 billion in the skylake, which has been in use since 2015. These changes have caused the size and price of computers to decline, while computing power has skyrocketed, promoting the advent of consumer electronics and a change to many social customs.
Is this the end of Moore's Law?
For some years this technological process has been encountering the first barriers. First of all there are physical factors: the amount of heat generated by the circuits; the size of the connections, which could be limited to just 10 atoms; or quantum effects, since the latest-generation transistors have a size of about 100 atoms and as they reduce, the change in state between zeros and ones, the basic units of calculation, becomes complicated. Furthermore, the economic factor is due to the development cost: a line to manufacture a new generation of chips costs about $7 billion and it is estimated that this could reach $16 billion over the next decade. An investment that few manufacturers can afford, especially if they are not guaranteed a return on sales to maintain profits.
Several solutions have been proposed to counter these problems, some of which have already been implemented. First, the speed of the internal clocks was limited, in order to produce less heat, as shown in the attached diagram. Simultaneously, several cores were produced. In principle, it is possible to create integrated circuits with up to 1,000 cores, but the distribution of tasks for them to calculate simultaneously becomes increasingly complicated. In any case, there are tasks that cannot adapt to this type of strategy. But in the future more innovative solutions may appear: from quantum computing, which has a great potential but its own limitations (the Spanish researcher Juan Ignacio Cirac received the 2006 Prince of Asturias Award for his work in this field) to neuromorphic engineering, inspired by the brain and its neuronal structure. Changing silicon for materials such as graphene or moving from two-dimensional sheets to 3D structures is also being considered. Or something even more innovative, stop moving electron currents and using one of their basic properties, their spin, which could be defined as the way they turn. In any case, these strategies involve a radical change in the way of designing and producing memories and processors.
Illustration 3: Evolution of three key variables in the production of integrated circuits: number of transistors per circuit, internal clock speed and maximum power consumption that is considered safe. The time of appearance of different generations of processors is shown in the chart / Source: The Economist.
The change is mainly driven by large buyers, companies like Amazon and Google, which gives them a great ability to influence the evolution of the entire process, and the development of new applications for users: smartphones, tablets, and games based on consumer electronics. However, it also influences the development of so-called cloud computing, where resources and data are not physically in the consumer device. Another essential aspect is product specialization, such as integrated circuits for graphics, compared to the current generic chips, which are very versatile and manufactured by hundreds of millions. However, development costs, excluding manufacturing, can far exceed tens of millions of dollars, which presents an additional problem: a large investment to create low-demand processors. Other key aspects are interoperability between different elements and the need to reduce energy consumption, going to the extremes of "drinking" environmental energy. As a result, in the future there will be billions of elements communicating with each other without human intervention. The first examples are already here: a washing machine that starts by itself or food that is heated in the microwave oven upon knowing that we are on our way home thanks to our cell phone or the car's GPS.
What are the implications for us?
We do not conceive life without electronics around and the constant improvement of the capabilities that the various gadgets offer us. The social impact of new technologies has been immense and the change has occurred in a few years. Nevertheless, this technology "fluidity" could slow down, as one of its main drivers, Moore's Law, will soon stop being followed. Only new solutions that are valid from a technological and economical standpoint can make the development that we have become used to in recent decades continue.
If this is the case, the new habits bas
ed on a highly-technological society and an electronic meta-world, without direct human intervention, will be the new guides for technological development. Nevertheless, there will be a price to pay: in the process, we will lose control of the computing capacity and, what is worse, our personal data.

Student leaders prepare to advance party goals after election
Months of outreach, social media posts and advocacy will culminate on Election Day, but students say work is far from over
The last voters shuffle out of Palo Verde West two hours after polls closed in Tempe, Arizona, on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018.
By Piper Hansen | November 2, 2020 | 11:06pm MST
Leaders of campus political clubs largely agree Election Day is an unpredictable event that could spark campaigning, policy writing and lobbying opportunities for later in the year.
Young voters are excited to see the election come to a close but agreed drawing conclusions from results announced Tuesday isn't something they're planning to count on or trust. Despite fears of civil unrest and refusal for a transition of power in the highest office on the ballot, students are excited to participate.
Out of the 4.2 million registered Arizonans, those who have yet to cast their ballot for president, senator, two propositions and for some, sheriffs, state legislators and congress members will have one last chance to do so Tuesday.

Student-to-student voter engagement
Emma Burns, vice president of membership for Young Democrats of Arizona and an NAU junior studying environmental science and criminology, said she's already gotten her peers to submit their ballots.
"We've been really trying to push voters to turn in their ballots early," Burns said. "Our main goal is to just make sure that people are empowered at the polls tomorrow."
State election officials have already received more than 2.3 million ballots, just shy of the 2.6 million total ballots that were cast in the 2016 election. Almost 700,000 more people have registered to vote in the state compared to 2016.
Joe Pitts, president of College Republicans at ASU and a sophomore studying business, voted early by mail and has encouraged friends and classmates to make an informed vote, pointing them to resources about who is running where they live.
Voter turnout is up this year but especially among young people. In Texas, people aged 18 to 29 have cast almost two-thirds as many early votes as they did in 2016. In other states like Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, young voters have already exceeded 2016 margins.
According to a POLITICO newsletter report from last week, the share of early voters between 18 and 29 is up 19% in Arizona compared to 2016. In the report, Tufts University's Jen McAndrew said the increase is due to social movements, social media engagement and optimism about the power of one's vote.
Clay Robinson, vice president of College Republicans, said he spent his summer on social media making jokes and memes about candidates and party platforms hoping to start a conversation.
"If you're (advocating for a political party) on social media, it's much more likely to get traction. And it's an easy way for myself, or political groups or campaigns, to gain traction," said Robinson, a sophomore studying economics and civic and economic thought and leadership.
Robinson said waiting for Election Day has felt longer than it needed to be and is hopeful for candidates representing their party affiliation in multiple races.
The race will continue
But the race is not over, and some predict there will not be a clear winner on Tuesday as not all votes will be counted by the end of the day.
Pitts said he hopes results won't be announced prematurely and candidates in all races will be civil.
"It's important that you have that structure where you're not preeminently or surely declaring any race," Pitts said. "If that does occur, it's going to cast a lot of doubt on the American democratic system."
David Howman, president of ASU College Libertarians, said he's hopeful going into Tuesday. Like many others, he's not going to look for solid results on Election Day but doesn't "expect there to be any real problem getting an accurate count. It's just not what we're used to," Howman said.
Looking forward to seeing hard work pay off, Burns said members of YDA, a statewide club, will be stationed near popular and frequented polling locations with water, snacks, extra masks and other first aid items.

Howman said rather than results, he's going to pay attention to spin from Republican and Democratic pundits and campaigns as they remind voters to stay calm and wait. Howman doesn't expect the days, or maybe weeks, after Election Day to reflect positively on the parties, rather "more and more people will become dissatisfied."
"No matter what's going to happen, we're still going to have a lot of work to do," Pitts said. Win or lose, he's excited about the prospect of hosting candidates to discuss creating a platform, raising money and reaching out to constituents.
Despite work leading up to the election, the real work, all students said, starts after races are called.
"Elections are just a stepping stone," Burns said. "The entire process of writing policy and lobbying for groups young people care about comes next."
Review: I'm not turning the dial on 'Dawn FM'

I agree. For any organization to expand and grow, it needs to have something that the market can purchase over continuous periods, not just a one-time, big-time deal. This is something I am pondering on whether to create a company of my own or just join a new york corporation to invest my stocks in.

There are companies out there that actually say. They will not even question your idea when they get it because if they like it, they're just going to take it, and that tickles because that's what they do. Because they should have thought of it in the first place, which mean that they have the rights to be able to take it. Now most of the companies will be very very nice and not do that. So I'm going to show you how you can start marketing and promoting your business to other people and sell it into their market. Come with me. OK. Very simple word document. OK.

It's easy to send your trips like the audiences that you're going to do like weddings, honeymoons, et cetera. All the different target markets. You've got to notice where you can sell it to anybody else which is why you've gotta go to the basics of what we're doing and we're talking about just now. So this is the target audience, this is the market. Now you've got that. Now you know what you're dealing with.Then you can set reminders for groups, for individuals, there's no team leader, they're not going to be stressed about it. It's great marketing tactics we can then heavily promote. Happier booking experience.

So what you've done is you've created it into different segments. You need to know what you are, what you are doing, and then you can market yourselves out to the consumer and to the travel industry as well, or whichever industry you're in.

Sins of The Fathers – Purged by Fire
As the Media Trilobites once again flounder about trying to bring their version of the "news" to the viewer, the coverage of the latest big event involving the Islamic State, the media are stumbling all over themselves bringing their profuse apologetic narrative to a fever pitch, which coincides perfectly with President Obama's narrative that "ISIS is not Islamic!!"
Via FrontPageMag.com
The execution by burning alive of Jordanian pilot Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, 26, by the Islamist "Islamic State", has been hijacked by those who would rather "use a crisis" to further their own agenda. That young man is the same age as my own son (a USMC Sergeant), and the pilot died in the service of his King and country, fighting an enemy who will, if not stopped, take not only Syria and Iraq, but also Jordan, just as they will Saudi Arabia and the rest. The pilot, while himself a Muslim, is considered apostate, and was fighting in the service of an Apostate King, in the eyes of the Islamic State and Caliph Al-Baghdaddi.
Apologists all over the news networks, both British and American, spent seldom mentioned this story without profusely making the point that "There is no mention in Islam for this kind of barbarity!" "This is proof that ISIS is not Islamic!" Al Jazeera English even joined in the chorus with an editorial from a California State University professor calling ISIS a "nihilistic death cult acting in the name of Islam…" Shoot, I've been calling Islam a death cult for years.
It seems that with every savage instance of Islamic Terrorism, from 911 up to every sordid beheading video that IS releases, the media is more concerned about a "potential backlash against Muslims", than the butchery itself! The "Backlash" that never happens! Perhaps those Muslims who may be concerned about becoming a victim of a "backlash" might want to be more concerned about the butchers because the Caliph looks upon any Muslim who desires to integrate into Western Society and enjoy its freedoms, as one of two things: Apostate, which according to Sharia "deserves to die", or Jahili, which is a back-slidden Muslim, and if non-repentant, also may die.
Muslim Brotherhood's own Seyyid Qutb writes all about this Jahili in his "Milestones", the vanguard publication for the modern Islamic Revival, published 1965. Qutb explains that Muslims must repent and remove themselves from that Jahiliyyah (a state of ignorance) leadership which has enticed Muslims into submitting to earthly, man-made rules and rulers, instead of submitting to Allah by means of following his laws (Sharia). This theological doctrine is the root of everything we are witnessing in the Islamic world today.
Muslims are not to commit allegiance to a nation or state or geographic area. (This is why there is little or no national loyalty in Islam.) Neither is a Muslim bound by any commitment or loyalty or oath to non-Muslims. Only to Allah does one claim or pledge allegiance. Only through Islam is any relationship, contractual or filial valid. Qutb writes,
"A Muslim has no country except that part of the earth where the Shari'a of [Allah] is established and human relationships are based on the foundation of relationship with [Allah]; a Muslim has no nationality except his belief, which makes him a member of the Muslim community in Dar ul Islam; a Muslim has no relatives except those who share the belief in [Allah]…" [p. 108, 109]
In the closing paragraphs of Milestones, Qutb conjures macabre images referring to his title:
"This intricate point requires deep thought…to whatever country or period of time they belong; for this guarantees that they will be able to see the milestones of the road clearly and without ambiguity, and establishes the path for those who wish to traverse it to the end…Then they will not be anxious, while traversing this road ever paved with skulls and limbs and blood and sweat, to find help and victory…" [p. 158]
The Trilobites were finding "scholars" and "experts" wherever they could drag them out to reassure that "burning a human is not acceptable in Islam". They continued this for hours, expressing "how barbaric" this mode of execution is, and this is proof that ISIS is not Islamic. Really? Is it more barbaric than sawing a mans head off with a dull knife?!
Burning is indeed not only an accepted means of execution, it has a history in some Islamic applications. Apostacy is an especially grievous sin against Islam, and in 1400 years there has never been an Islamic society which has not enforced the capital laws against leaving Islam for another religion, or no religion at all. You see, Sura (Quran) 2:256, "There is no compulsion in religion…" is abrogated by 9:29, commanding to fight non-muslims until they are subdued (dhimmi).
The Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL) is ruthlessly following the model of Islamic conquest that was practiced by Abu Bakr, Muhammad's (the prophet) top lieutenant and most trusted friend. He gave his young 6 yr old daughter Aisha to Muhammad to wife, making him the prophet's father-in-law, and was Muhammad's first convert outside the family. Immediately after Muhammad's death in 632 AD, the tribes began to quit Islam, becoming apostates, and refusing to pay the zakat (required alms of Muslims). Abu Bakr thus became the 1st Caliph and began a systematic military campaign that swept across the Arabian Peninsula, known as the Ridda Wars, or the Wars of Apostacy. Within 2 years he had put down or executed those Muslims who refused to pay, even though they practiced the prayers, referring to them as apostate because they failed to practice all 5 pillars of Islam. Therefore their blood was on their own hands.
In a letter sent out to the various apostate tribes, Abu Bakr warned that, "the Apostle of Allah…struck whoever turned his back to him until he came to Islam, willingly or grudgingly." And then that, Allah had called him (Abu Bakr) " to fight those who deny Him", and that Abu Bakr "will not spare any of them he can gain mastery over, but may burn them with fire, slaughter them by any means…take women and children…nor shall he accept from anyone anything except Islam." Within 2 years Abu Bakr had brought the "apostate" tribes back under his rule, and had sent his generals to conquer the Sassanids (Persians) in Iraq and Persia. This was a very speedy and overwhelming conquest in which Khalid's light cavalry could swoop down on a city and own it before the indigent armies could respond. The Caliph then declared Jihad against the Byzantine Christians.
Abu Bakr only ruled for a bit over 2 years and was the 1st of the "Four Rightly Guided Caliphs", the other 3 of which led short, bloody reigns as well. These "Four Rightly Guided Caliphs" were all personal companions of Muhammad's, and are yet today highly revered as men who closely followed in the steps of Muhammad.
Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, via Wikipedia
It is no accident that the current Caliph took this name – Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This man holds a PhD in Islamic Studies from the University of Baghdad and has been supervising and enforcing the Sharia since the mid-2000's. He is indeed an expert on Islamic Law (Sharia). His job as Caliph is to punish apostates and carry jihad to non-believers who refuse to embrace Islam. If you deny this, you deny 1400 years of history. You have to be an imbecile to refuse to make the connection of true Islamic doctrines and theology to fundamentalist Islamic militant groups such as IS.
However, we are dealing with the Trilobites; a media organism who has no knowledge or desire to investigate history beyond their last bowel movement, which is incidentally about the same consistency of what they report. Jordan's military, just like Saudi Arabia, exists pretty much to keep the Royal Families safe. Hardcore movements against Islamic State are not going to be part of the program for either country. Jordan may divide shortly with a lot of internal upheaval and Saudi will be soon to follow. The military for both of these countries are paper tigers, perhaps Jordan's a little tougher.
Any true security or stabilization in the region is going to have to come from one of 3 sources: USA, Israel, or Russia. President Obama isn't interested, despite the fact that Jordan is probably the most moderate Arab country in the region, obviously the most stable and is a pretty good ally to Israel. Obama keeps throwing up a straw man argument that it's either continue our ineffective airstrikes or send in 300K ground troops, and that's not an option of his. He will give aid but no Middle Eastern leader trusts him now anyway, enough to depend on him.
Israel knows it is the ultimate target and continues to monitor the progress of IS and has attacked positions in the Golan area of Syria/Lebanon. Saudi Arabia is depending more and more on Israel for its own security and Jordan is working with Israeli military also.
Yep, it's gonna get pretty sporty…

Christ College Cadets Sweep The Board At Cadsaam
Home > News > Latest News > Christ College Cadets Sweep The Board At Cadsaam
Over the weekend of 5th and 6th October, the Christ College CCF participated in the 160 Brigade organized Cadet Skill at Arms meeting. This event tested all aspects of marksmanship and pitched CCF teams against Army Cadet Force units from throughout Wales.
The competition started on Saturday in very unusual Sennybridge weather conditions, warm, dry and very little wind, ideal shooting conditions. The first day comprised of three separate team shoots at a variety of targets, at ranges from 100 meters to 400 meters, one of which started with a 1.5km speed march before the shoot began.
After these shoots finished the top 12 rifle firers from across the day's shoots were announced and they would fire again to decide the individual champion. Christ College provided three firers in the top 12, Cadet RSM Dominic Hayes, Cadet WO2 Benj Kriehn and Cadet Cpl Ben Wigmore, an excellent effort. Whilst this was taking place, the machine gunners from each team took part in their Gun team shoot, with Cadet WO2 Connor Norris and Cadet Sgt Ed Harries representing the Christ College teams.
Scores from Day 1 would be kept secret until the prize giving the following day, so although pleased with efforts on Day 1, there were two nervous and tired teams that made their way back to school.
Day 2 started in similar weather conditions as the previous day, and spirits were high after a good first day plus the fact that the 1st XV Rugby team had won their fixture without some key team members that were in the shooting teams.
The second day involved teams competing in the falling plate match. This is the Blue Ribbon event and comprises of an FA cup-style knockout competition with pairs of teams running 100 meters and then attempting to knock down 10 small metal plates in the fastest time, with the winner moving into the next round. There is a great deal of tactics involved as ammunition is restricted to 10 rounds per firer, and there are 6 firers per team, but 10 plates to be knocked down.
Both Christ College teams made it through the 1st round, but unfortunately the A team were eliminated after a run-off in the next round. The B team got through the next couple of rounds safely and, in their semi final achieved the fastest time of the competition, an outstanding 38 seconds which would take them into the final. The final was a tense affair and required a second run after an error was made by the judges, however the Christ College team lost by the narrowest margin to team from Gwent and Powys ACF.
At the prize giving, Christ College were the recipients of every trophy that they could have won in the CCF teams competition, and Cdt Cpl Ben Wigmore received the trophy from Brigadier Phillip Napier for the top CCF shot in Wales.

The time is coming for the federal government to find reconciliation with local Métis.
That was the message delivered to the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Sunset Country Métis community Sunday during a meeting to update the implications of recent court decisions regarding Métis rights.
In an interview Monday, Métis rights lawyer Jason Madden said the Manitoba Metis Federation land claim case that came down from the Supreme Court of Canada in March, along with Daniels v. Canada back in January, recognize that Métis are under federal jurisdiction the same way that First Nations are.
"When you put these cases together, those same types of promises made to the Métis in Manitoba were made to the Métis in this community,� Madden noted.
"So specifically, there's the Half-Breed Adhesion to Treaty #3, which was to provide lands, as well as annuities [and] as well as the benefits of Treaty #3, to the Métis,� he explained.
"That promise hasn't been fulfilled.
"What we were talking to the community about [Sunday] is now we have this court case from the Supreme Court of Canada saying, 'When the Crown has not fulfilled its promises to Métis, negotiations are required,'� he noted.
Madden said the Manitoba Metis Federation land claim stems back to 1870 while locally, the Half-Breed Adhesion was signed in 1875.
"We're talking to the community about what they want to do with those issues because what the Supreme Court of Canada has recognized is that there is unfinished business with the Manitoba Metis, but there's also unfinished business with Métis here in Fort Frances,� he remarked.
Madden said the Daniels case is set to be appealed by the federal government before the Federal Court of Appeal, with a hearing scheduled in October.
With the Daniels case, the federal court made a declaration that Métis are included in Section 91 (24) of the Constitution, which sets out what the federal government has responsibilities for.
Historically, Métis have been a "political football,� said Madden, noting the federal government says they don't have responsibility for them, the province says the same, and the Métis have fallen behind and not had their rights dealt with in a respectful way.
"What is at issue in the appeal is upholding that declaration,� he stressed.
"I think everyone is of the mind that we'll ultimately be at the Supreme Court of Canada, but what we wanted the community to know is we're on a certain trajectory here and the time is coming for reconciliation to happen with the Métis,� he explained.
The MNO is seeking party status in the appeal to ensure Ontario Métis are well-represented. But more importantly, that in the Daniels case, this community specifically receives high recognition as a distinct Métis community within the Métis nation.
"There's a lot of exciting developments going on,� noted Madden.
Starting with the Powley case in 2003, and now more recently with the Supreme Court of Canada-MMF case, Madden said these rulings show that reconciliation can't just happen with Inuit and First Nations' people; it has to happen with Métis, as well.
"We hope we'll see some progress with those issues in the future,� he added.
Madden spoke Sunday at the Métis Hall here along with MNO president Gary Lipinski.


"Motion is Lotion" is the mantra for this class.

Modifications offered and alignment suggestions given so that all may find benefits.
Deb's soothing calm voice will lead you thru a practice being a perfect start to your day.
Drop-ins welcome as well punch-cards available for these sessions..
Deb has been teaching yoga for over 10 years in the valley.
Her practice started over 15 years ago and has evolved into a much slower mindful practice. Asked what type of yoga she teaches she describes it as a blend of many based on her own personal experiences.
Having been a active participant in many disciplines,running/biking/skiing/swimming/hiking/karate, her knowledge base is well rounded. She believes that thru simple slow mindful movements one becomes more connected to their body, finds openness, alignment and better quality of life.
She often gets the comment that her calm soothing voice and careful choice of words helps students find the balance of effort and ease as well a clearer understanding of what it is they are doing.


HAVER & BOECKER stands for expertise and best Performance. The scalper is one of the main components of each primary crushing plant. With the scalper your plant will be more efficient, low-wear and more productive. HAVER NIAGARA® eccentric screening machines are perfect for scalping because of their heavy-duty design and smooth running. We combined our experience since 1930 with the supplementary components of our suppliers and realize complex plant projects according to our customers needs.
As the market leader in eccentric screening technology, HAVER & BOECKER provides expertise pre-crushing systems as well as secondary and tertiary crushing. We will work with any crusher and peripheral component manufacturers.
The classic pre-crushing plant serves to relieve the primary crusher by using a HAVER NIAGARA eccentric screening machine. If needed an additional screen deck allows the screening off of stony earth. If the screening material is unsuitable for further processing, it can then be directly screened away.
If the natural material deposit or the application possibilities should improve, then the material can be fed to production.
To get the most out of your natural mineral deposit, HAVER & BOECKER developed the MASTER system. It allows you to derive the greatest possible flexibility and profitability for your primary crushing stages, especially with non-homogeneous natural deposits.

Q: Unable to use angular material in my angular project I'm trying to use angular material in my project. I have done below required settings.

*

*Installation: npm i -S @angular/material @angular/cdk @angular/animations

*Importing in app.module.ts: import {MatCheckboxModule} from '@angular/material/checkbox'; and   imports: [ BrowserModule, AppRoutingModule, FontAwesomeModule, MatCheckboxModule ],

*In app.component.ts:   checked = false; labelPosition: 'before' | 'after' = 'after';

*And finally app.component.html:

Below is the error:

Error: src/app/app.component.html:104:1 - error NG8001: 'mat-card' is not a known element:

Can someone please help me on this.

NOTE: I'm using bootstrap too in the same project, hope that dosen't impact this.

A: you have to include
import {MatCardModule} from '@angular/material/card';
for more info
https://material.angular.io/components/card/api

A: You have configuration issue :
you need to add those in module.ts file  and add it in imports ,something like this:
        import { MatCardModule} from '@angular/material';

        @NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, FormsModule, BrowserAnimationsModule, MatCardModule  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

A: So there are few changes I needed to make, thanks to the answers I got.
app.module.ts
...
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

//angular material
import {MatCardModule} from '@angular/material/card';
import {MatRadioModule} from '@angular/material/radio';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
MatCardModule,
MatRadioModule
  ], . . .

EU leaders clash on migration
Eastern European leaders have continued to reject a refugee redistribution plan supported by most EU nations. The issue has raised questions about whether true solidarity can be achieved within the bloc.
https://p.dw.com/p/2pPw9
EU leaders' summit in Brussels
European Union leaders meeting at a two-day summit in Brussels failed early on Friday to bring any movement to negotiations on how to deal with the current influx of migrants, with a deep gap between eastern and western nations continuing to be apparent.
During two hours of heated debate, leaders from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic stood firm in their rejection of refugee redistribution quotas agreed on by a majority of EU member states. The quotas are seen as a measure of assistance to countries such as Greece and Italy, which have seen most of the migrants come to their shores over the Mediterranean.
After the meeting, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters that the bloc had a hard job ahead of it to reform asylum rules by a deadline of June next year when large-scale migration via the Mediterranean is expected to commence again as weather improves.
"Here we still have a lot of work to do. The points of view did not change. But there is a clear task to continue working until June next year," Merkel said.
'Highly divisive' quotas
The controversy within the bloc over the issue of quotas was given added fuel earlier in the week by European Council President Donald Tusk, who described the mandatory quotas as "highly divisive" and "ineffective."
Countries such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia welcomed Tusk's statement, but his words have been criticized by Austria, Germany, France and others.
Tusk's remarks were hailed by his homeland, PolandImage: Getty Images/AFP/A. Belot
In an interview with German broadcaster Deutschlandfunk on Friday, the EU budget commissioner, Günther Oettinger, also slammed Tusk for his comments.
"I greatly esteem the president of the European Council, but here he is clearly wrong," Oettinger said, saying that the bloc must show solidarity in the face of massive migration to Europe.
Strengthening external borders
However, the four eastern European countries making up the so-called Visegrad group — the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia — were fully behind an EU project aimed at enhancing border protection in Libya, which has now become the main launchpad for migrants and refugees wanting to come to Europe.
They offered €35 million ($41 million) to assist the Italian-led project in a move meant to demonstrate that they are actively working on solutions to the migration issue.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the EU's policy of defending its outer borders was the one that had "worked and operated well on the ground, delivered the result we have expected."

Rutte: 'Shameful' offer
But Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte criticized the offer, saying it was an attempt to bribe other countries that had accepted the redistribution quotas.
"What [Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor] Orban is doing is shameful!" Rutte said at the end of the summit.
"If you allow that to happen, the EU becomes a place where each one does his shopping to buy what he likes," he added.
Orban wants no refugees in EuropeImage: Reuters/D. Pignatelli
Orban has been leading eastern opposition to letting refugees and migrants into the bloc, among other things saying that the region would face a security threat, particularly from Muslims.
The summit is to continue on Friday, with topics such as the impact of the impending withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the bloc likely to be at the forefront of discussions. Leaders will also discuss plans for the reform of the eurozone proposed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
On Thursday, the EU leaders agreed to extend existing tough economic sanctions imposed on Russia over its role in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, and to back a new European defense force.

Visegrad represents Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians and Poles
Within the EU, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia form a regional body of their own: the Visegrad Group, or V4. The countries differ on many issues, but they have embraced similar migration policies. (23.10.2017)

Denny's Hobbit Menu: How Hobbits Do Fastfood?
Not too sure how you feel about Denny's, but even if you normally couldn't care less about the chain, you might have a change of heart come November.
In line with the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – which we are all waiting for – the food chain has launched "Denny's Hobbit Menu".
It would be hard to say no to "Lonely Mountain Treasure", although Denny's version is made of toast and cream cheese icing, not gold and precious gems.
"Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies", on the other hand, are being touted as perfect for your first or second breakfast. They got me at red velvet!
As for dessert there are "Hobbit Harvest Pies", with pecan and pumpkin as choices.
There are supposed to be more dishes on the menu, including mains, of course. If you're a regular at Denny's, and you're looking forward to The Hobbit, then I guess you're just waiting for the launch of Denny's Hobbit Menu.
For those of us who do not live within access to Denny's Hobbit Menu, no one's stopping us from eating as many meals a day as the hobbits do!

You should make this into a movie too!! It is awesome!!" – K. Bynum D. Zattau "I love the book!

Second Strike Review :" A true page-turner" "Whittington has fashioned a fast-paced adventure story and brings home the reality that we all could be victims of fanatical terrorists at any time. This novel has a satisfying plot. It is a true page-turner." - Lee Scott, Reviewer, The Florida Times Union (July 4, 2010) Doppleganged "Speaking of polish, Whittington has added quite a bit to serial protagonist Parker Glynn…now soaking up the scenery in California's wine country in "Doppelganged." From a kind of accidental terrorist fighter, Glynn has morphed into a James Bond-type government agent dispatching evil while wooing lovelies with Napa Valley's finest vintages. Way to go, Parker…and Ron." - Lee Scott, Reviewer, Florida Times Union (March 7, 2013) Doppelgänged: "Intrigue, conspiracy and lust" "Embattled businessman Parker Glynn is tasked with uncovering the truth behind an experimental device designed to fulfill one's deepest desires but soon finds himself fighting for his life. Doppelgänged takes readers on an exciting trip into a world rife with intrigue, conspiracy and lust." - Alison Trinidad, Jacksonville Magazine "Embattled businessman Parker Glynn is tasked with uncovering the truth behind an experimental device designed to fulfill one's deepest desires but soon finds himself fighting for his life. Fans of suspense will enjoy Dopplegänged, which takes readers on an exciting trip into a world rife with intrigue, conspiracy and lust." - Alison Trinidad, Jacksonville Magazine "It's good to have Parker Glynn back in action, keeping the terrorists and bad guys at bay. Looking forward to Glynn's next page-turning adventure!" - Jo Ann Holt - Focus Daily News

First up: We've got the latest on Afghanistan, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's resignation and the CDC's new guidelines on getting vaxxed while pregnant.
Next: Kids are heading back to school IRL. We'll dive into why keeping kids safe is more complicated than it sounds, and is causing some political throwdowns.
Also: Fire up your phones. Vaccine passport apps are coming. We'll skimm the process of signing up for them, to see if it's as easy as advertised. (Here's a link to some apps that are started to get used in a lot of places)
Plus: Apple recently it's gonna work with the U.S. government to stop child abuse. We'll get into why the move is raising the eyebrows of some privacy advocates.
Finally: Lakes, reservoirs, and rivers across the Western U.S. are drying up. We called up two experts to figure out why, and to learn about what the future could hold.
On this episode, you'll hear from:
Laura Meckler, national education reporter, The Washington Post
Sharon B. Megdal, director, Water Resources Research Center, University of Arizona
