Auburn's Chris Denson scored 30 points and KT Harrell rebounded from a rough game with 26 to lead the Tigers to a 92-82 victory over slumping Mississippi State on Saturday in a game that was controlled by strong foul shooting and huge performances from the Southeastern Conference's No. 2 scoring tandem.
"We just didn't have enough depth there in the first half with everyone in foul trouble, and that's what really hurt us in the first half," Mississippi State coach Rick Ray said. "We had a lot of bad combinations out on the floor. We just couldn't find a way to score."
The Tigers (12-12, 4-8) made 37 of 41 free throws in the game to hold off the Bulldogs (13-12, 3-9) after building a 21-point lead.
They hit 11 consecutive free throws over the final 2:33 in a game when six players fouled out.
Trivante Bloodman had 18 points, nine assists and six rebounds to lead Mississippi State, which has dropped seven in a row since beating Auburn in Starkville on Jan. 22. Bloodman made 14 of 15 free throws.
"It was a very intense game," Bloodman said. "We had a lot of players that were in foul trouble, so I had to get the ball and attack."
Gavin Ware had 15 points, Roquez Johnson 14 and I.J. Ready 12 for Mississippi State.
Denson was 10 of 11 from the line for the Tigers and Harrell made 13 of 14 attempts. Harrell didn't score in the first 10 minutes but still had 14 points by halftime.
Denson, who had just nine points in the first meeting, scored 20 in the second half.
The Tigers scored 30 points off Mississippi State's 21 turnovers.
Much of the game was spent at the line, where Mississippi State was 29 of 36. Auburn had four players foul out and Mississippi State two and the officials called 59 total fouls.
"We were settling too much for jump shots early in this game, and early in the second half I just told those guys to attack the basket and don't settle," Auburn coach Tony Barbee said. "They got aggressive and that's why they got to the foul line so much."
Bulldogs leading scorer Craig Sword had eight points before picking up his fifth foul with 2:34 left after making two straight baskets.
Auburn led by as many as 21 points early in the second half. The Bulldogs came to within nine points a number of times after that but could get no closer until Jacoby Davis's 3-pointer cut it to 88-80 with 33 seconds left.
The Bulldogs made only one field goal over the final 12 minutes of the first half. The Tigers scored the last 10 points before halftime and closed on a 27-6 run to build a 40-25 lead.

Cartier's Concours d'Elegance
Modified On Feb 16, 2013 12:55 PM By CarDekho
Mumbai recently played host to one of the world's most prestigious automotive events – The Third Cartier Travel with Style Concours d'Elégance 2013. The event was hosted by Mr. Louis Ferla, Managing Director – Cartier Middle East, India & Africa- a one of a kind vintage car exhibition and competition held every two years in India. We had previously covered the Concours d'Elegance that happened at the Windsor Castle, Windsor, England and now we get to you the one from India.
Curated by the highly respected Indian automotive expert - Manvendra Singh of Barwani - and orchestrated by car aficionado and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall's brother, Mark Shand. The Cartier Concours d'Elégance showcases some of the rarest and best-preserved vintage automobiles from across India.
This year amidst the opulence of over 100 of the rarest automobiles and motorcycles from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors guests mingled over lunch and high tea at a specially curated exhibition space spread across the lawns of Taj Lands End.
The distinct exhibit culminated with an award giving ceremony hosted by Master of Ceremony Mr Alan de Cadenet.
The Best Car of the Show was Rolls Royce 1935 Model No: Phantom II owned by HH Maharaja Gaj Singhji of Jodhpur, and the Best Motorcycle of the show was the Indian 1915 Model owned by Subodh Nath. Amongst others the winner of the Indian Heritage category went to Fiat 1949 Model: 3100 Half Ton owned by Adil Jal Darukhanwala.
The detailed list of cars and bikes this year that received the coveted winning awards is attached for reference.
Key guests in attendance at the third Cartier Travel With Style Concours d'Elegance were John Abraham, Turkish Consul General Ceylan Ozen, Natasha & Adar Poonawalla, Praful & Poorna Patel, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Nisha Jamwal, Adi & Uma Dubash, Anoop & Devaun Shimehta, Devika & Suresh Bhojwani, Aarti Kailash Surendranath, Rashmi Uday Singh, Zeba & Rajesh Kohli, Arjun Khanna, Esther Daswani, Sushma Reddy, Dipali Goenka, Pria Kataria Puri, Biren & Sheetal Vaidya, Komal Wazir, Amrita Puri, Narendra Kumar and Monica Vazirali.
The first international Concours d'Elégance in India was hosted at the Royal Western India Turf Club Mumbai in 2008. It was a historic moment in the history of Indian motoring that gained wide spread recognition for ushering in the classic car movement in India.
The third edition of Cartier Travel With Style witnessed several exciting additions – taking it a step forward in establishing Cartier Concours d'Elegance as a world renowned vintage automotive exhibit.
Two exciting new automotive categories - Edwardian Class (oldest preserved automotives in India - unique category to Cartier Concours) and the Shikar Class (automobiles used for royal hunts) – will be introduced, in addition to the pre-established categories; Pre-War, Post-War, Indian Heritage, Preservation and Roadster classes.
An exciting new addition of this year was the introduction of motorcycles. For the first time since its inception in 2008, Cartier 'Travel With Style' exhibited 32 exceptional vintage motorcycles from across India, which competed in the three all time favorite classes - Pre War, Post War and Racing. Renowned vintage auto cognoscenti hailing from automotive, design, finance, racing and sporting worlds from across the globe comprise the expert Judging Panel at Cartier Concours d'Elégance each year.
The Judges for 2013 Cartier Concours included chief judge HRH Prince Michael of Kent; Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elégance Sandra Button, Fiat Scion and ever-dapper Lapo Elkann, President of Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Jean Todt, one of the greatest F1 driver Sir Stirling Moss, 15 time World Motor Cycling Champion Giacomo Agostini, 8 time GP World Champion Phil Read, award winning F1 designer Prof.
Gordon Murray and leading industrialist Sir Anthony Bamford among other notable personalities.
Speaking about the Cartier 'Travel With Style', Mr. Louis Ferla, Managing Director – Cartier Middle East, India and Africa, says, "The relationship between Cartier and India dates back over 100 years, when the royal families of the time commissioned jewelry and watches from Cartier.
Cartier 'Travel with Style' is our very special endeavour to celebrate the remarkable design and craftsmanship of India's automobile heritage which brings forth the most luxurious and distinctive of cars."
Manvendra Singh of Barwani, Curator of the Concours, added, "For each edition we try to raise the bar higher with the introduction of exciting new categories and this year showcased rare, vintage motorcycles for the first time. Another unique addition to the Concours automobile category is the 'Edwardian Class'. These cars are from the turn of the 20th century to 1919. Some of the earliest cars were specially ordered by the Maharajas as they graduated from horse carriages."
Also, Jaguar has shipped the legendary C-Type to India that had won the Le Mans and was driven by Sir Stirling Moss. Sir Moss was present at the event and so was the owner of the C-Type Richard Frankel. We did a one-on-one interaction with Mr Richard Frankel, as this was one special appearance car that made it to India, especially for Concours d'Elegance.

Multi-day tours are an excellent choice to explore Israel in a more relaxed way, or to discover some of the less visited, but no less intriguing sites.
Of course, I can blend different topics and activities into one tour to address the different interests of the participants. Below is an example of a multi-day tour geared to Christians and/or history lovers. Please contact me for more examples or for a personalized tour.


Following the stunning tragedies of 11 September 2001, the world has shifted attention not simply toward the Middle East, but especially toward the religion of Islam. Unfortunately, many Americans perceive Islam merely to be the religion of terrorists. This is simplistic. And while Islam historically has been characterized by warfare and its own version of colonialism, it is understandable why many people in Central America, South Africa and elsewhere have perceived Christianity in similar terms. Since the retreat of the Ottoman Empire and the advance of colonialism by Europeans, Muslims voiced a similar perception of Christianity. Regardless of these perceptions or misperceptions we need to gain a better understanding of just how Muslims view Christianity (which they often identify simply with the West).1 In doing so, I believe we will gain a greater understanding of the Islamic faith itself. The trajectory of Islamic theology that is the focus of this study is that of abrogation; not the Qur'anic dynamic of legal abrogation,2 though that is touched upon, but the assertion that in the religion of Islam, Judaism and Christianity meet their end.
Essential to the Islamic perspective is the primary lens through which Muslims view all of reality, the Qur'an.3 In fact, the Muslim study of other religions has historically focused upon the Qur'anic presentation of their practices, beliefs and history, rather than through a direct investigation of those religions. This has lead to a projection of Mohammad's perception of the practices and beliefs of the Christian faith rather than a clear understanding of the actual realities resident within it.4 This projectionism is evident, for example, in the confused Muslim description of Christian doctrines such as the incarnation of Christ and the Trinity.
But it also is evident that Mohammad never obtained a clear understanding of the doctrine, for the Qur'an confuses Mary with the Holy Spirit and projects the Trinity as polytheistic.
Such misunderstandings are extremely difficult to work through with Muslims. Some seem to think that if Christians disagree with how the Qur'an describes their beliefs, they must either be lying or must have changed the doctrine of the Trinity . The Qur'an cannot be mistaken. Hence the refracting lens of the Qur'an.
In spite of appeal to these and other biblical passages, and in the face of numerous protests of Christians, Muslims insist that Trinitarian theology is polytheistic. The projection from the mind of Muhammad is recalcitrant in the mentalities of Muslims. As never before Modern Americans must grasp the reality that Muslims perceive our religion through the lens of the Qur'an.
Transcending these simple misunderstandings of the Christian faith, Muslims hold to a belief that Islam has superseded and abrogated Christianity, much the same (to their thinking) as Christianity did Judaism. It is to this facet of Islamic teaching that we turn our attention in the following study.
La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadu Rasool Allah.
There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of God.
— The essential Muslim profession of faith.
It is one thing to charge another religion with falsehoods and its adherents as misguided, it is quite another to make the sweeping claim that one religion has superseded all others, abrogating all previous divine revelations and divinely instituted obligations. This is precisely the claim of Islam toward Christianity and Judaism. It is the most comprehensive claim that can be made. Indeed, it would be unreasonable to claim that all the elements of another religion are false or destructive or misleading. But an aura of plausibility may attend the assertion of replacing a previous religion.
The Islamic case for the abrogation of Christianity has many elements, from claims for Islam being the original religion, to assertions that all true prophets have taught Islam, to charges that the biblical texts have been corrupted and biblical doctrines distorted by Jews and Christians. We will look at these and other factors in our survey of the Qur'anic teaching regarding Christianity.
That Islam is the original religion is understood in two ways, both in terms of its being the original religion existing since the beginning of creation, as well as in terms of its inherence in each human being at birth.
Islam Is the Original Religion. When God created the first human, Adam, he struck a covenant with him, a covenant of Islam. To this covenant all of the sons of Adam bear witness. To this covenant all people are held accountable.
Thus the excuse of ignorance of Islam is removed. All humans are responsible to live up to the covenant struck with their first father, Adam. On the day of judgment there will be no excuse.
All Human Beings Are Born Muslims. In addition to holding Islam as the primordial religion, we find resident within Islamic tradition the belief that each and every human being is born a Muslim, though such a pristine faith at birth may be muted through the mis-instruction of others.
It follows from this that if every human is born a Muslim, then so were the prophets of old, such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus. But not only were these prophets all Muslims, they taught a pure form of Islam as prophets, even though their teaching was not coextensive with that revealed through Mohammad.
According to the Qur'an, God graciously has sent messengers to every nation to teach them submission to God and to warn them against false religious teachings and practices.
Even the religions that predate Islam are understood as Islamic, their prophets as prophets of God: "We did send apostles before thee amongst the religious sects of old" (Qur'an 15:10). So God has graciously revealed his will throughout history and across all cultures. To be specific, though, the Qur'an names a number of these prophets, many of whom are familiar to Christians.
In this verse we see not only that Jesus is understood to confirm the book of Moses, the Torah, but he positions himself to pass the prophetic mantle to one who would come after him, namely Mohammad (we will discuss alleged prophecies of Muhammad below).
Muslims Should Honor Previous Prophets and Their Books. So, Mohammad's mission was in harmony with the prophets of old, even an extension of it. It is in this light that the Qur'anic teaching makes good sense that Muslims must affirm the previous prophets and their books. Thus we find in the Qur'an commands that Muslims are to affirm all the previous messengers of God.
In addition, Muslims are commanded to affirm the books that stem from these ancient prophets.
Even though the Qur'an teaches that Islam is the primordial religion, that every human is born a Muslim, that God has sent prophets to all the nations and codified their message in books, and Muslims are to affirm both these prophets and their books, the ministry of Mohammad is not to be understood as merely affirming the status quo. No, with the coming of Mohammad is the coming of a new era, and era of universal prophethood, an era of the perfection of the true religion.
Mohammad Was Spoken of in the Previous Books. The Qur'an narrates that Jesus spoke of a prophet that would follow him, namely "Ahmed," which is another name for Mohammad.
Mohammad also affirmed that there were prophecies foretelling his arrival and ministry in the Torah and the Gospel.
There exists in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), even after the original text has been distorted, clear prophecies indicating the coming of Prophet Muhammad, e.g. Deut 18:18; 21:21; Psl. 118:22-23; Isa. 42:1-13; Hab. 3:3-4; Matt. 21:42-43; Jn. 14:12-17, 26-28, 16:7-14.
Muslims believe that only in Mohammad certain prophecies in the Bible fulfilled. The primary prophetic passages are, in the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 18:15 and, in the New Testament, John 14:16 (both of these passages will be addressed at length below). Thus, if there are prophecies of Mohammad found in the Bible — in both Old and New Testaments, then these are very good reasons for Jews and Christians to drop their distinctives and divisions and become Muslims.
Mohammad Was the Final Prophet. Not only is Mohammad uniquely viewed as the only universal messenger of God, he is also understood to be the final messenger, the seal of the prophets. Mohammad's mission was in complete harmony with the previous prophets, but he was unique in that in him the prophetic traditions reached their climax. Thus the Qur'an claims that Mohammad is the seal of the prophets, the final messenger or mouthpiece of God.
A well-known hadith provides an instructive illustration of the teaching that Mohammad is the final prophet of God.
The book associated with the one universal and final prophet, Mohammad, is the Qur'an. It is not only believed to be revelation from God — and as such it is a confirmation of the previous revelations — but it is believed to be God's final revelation, kept and guarded by the divine will and thus uncorrupted to this day.
The Qur'an Confirms the Previous Books. The Qur'an is understood not to conflict with the books that stem from these older prophets but rather to confirm their message (an assertion we will address below).
The Qur'an Is the Perfect Book. If the earlier prophets had books, then so did Mohammad. In fact, Muslims view the Qur'an as unsurpassable, the only perfect book on earth.
The Qur'an Is the Fullness of Revelation. Indeed, not only is the Qur'an incomparable among all the books, it is also the fullness of God's revelation.
So, even though God Almighty has provided previous revelations, it is only the Qur'an that has been preserved and will be kept from corruption.
In our brief survey of the Islamic view of Christianity, we have seen the following. 1) Islam is the original religion, it is the primordial religion, the religion of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. In addition, all humans are born Muslims. 2) God has sent prophets throughout time to all the nations — prophets such as Abraham, Moses and Jesus. He has not only spoken through those prophets but given them books (e.g. the Torah and the Gospel). But their missions were limited, and their books were incomplete and later corrupted. 3) Mohammad is the final prophet foretold in the Bible, and his book, the Qur'an, is perfect, complete and incorruptible.
That Muslims claim Islam as the only viable faith is not objectionable, at least not in that it claim exclusivity. In a philosophical context that increasingly diminishes the significance of religious differences, distinctions, and truth claims, Muslims should be commended for retaining the categorical values of truth and falsehood with regards to religious beliefs and belief systems. Even so, there seems to have been a time when Islam was more inclusive than it is now. The Qur'an teaches, and Muslims once broadly affirmed, that non-Muslim monotheists who affirmed the doctrine of a last day of judgment could retain an assured hope as they faced that day.
But even though there was such a time of Islamic religious embrace of other monotheistic faiths, such a time has come to an end. Traditional Muslim commentators are in unanimous agreement that the verses just listed have been abrogated by another.
Thus we have come full circle. Islam is the original faith, the faith of Adam and his descendants; Islam is the faith with which every human is born into this world; Islam is the faith of all the prophets — though Muhammad is the universal and final prophet; Islam in its revealed fullness is contained within the pages of the Qur'an, the perfect, ultimate, and incorruptible scripture; and as such, Islam is the only valid faith in our day, the religion in which all monotheistic faith reach their climactic end.
As we interact with the Islamic perception of Christianity as meeting its end in Islam, we will focus our attention on such primary issues as continuity, the reliability and authority of the Bible, the alleged prophecies regarding Mohammad, and the relationship between Christianity and the faith of the Old Testament.
In order for one religion to claim to be an organic development of a preceding religion, there must be a high degree of continuity. In other words, there must be substantial agreement in what is essential to that prior religion. To a degree, Islam can claim such continuity with Christianity and Judaism (understood as the religion of the Old Testament).
Regarding God, Muslims believe he exists, that he is one God, that he created the universe, is sovereign, maximally powerful, active with his creation — especially with humanity, and that he knows even the intimate details of human lives and will one day bring all humanity to account for deeds good and evil. Christians and Muslims also believe that God has spoken to humanity through messengers (human and angelic). We also agree that God's revelation has been inscripturated in holy books.
But even with such substantial agreement, far too many discontinuities exist that undermine the plausibility of the Islamic claim to be a harmonious extension of Judaism and Christianity. Let's begin with some representative doctrinal discontinuities.
The claim that Mohammad and the Qur'an confirm the message of the prophets fails to cohere with the actual teachings as found in the Bible, whether Old or New Testament. Consider the doctrine of human sinfulness as taught in the Old and New Testaments. They teach that humans face entry into this world with an inherited tendency toward sin. This is the doctrine of "original sin."
The Old Testament on Human Nature: Depravity. Here's how the Old Testament describes the inherent sinfulness of humanity.
The New Testament on Human Nature: Depravity. The New Testament stands in full agreement with the Old Testament. Consider just a few passages.
The next doctrinal difference we'll briefly examine is the Christian doctrine of salvation, centered in the atoning work of Jesus Christ. While this is a belief denied by non-Christian Jews, the point here is not to argue for its validity over against Jewish objections, but simply to show that the religion of Islam is discontinuous with essential teachings of Christianity. In addition, both Christianity and the Old Testament faith share a common belief in the dependence upon atonement, while Islam denies just this salvific dynamic.
Islam on Salvation: Good and Bad Works. Logically related to this view of human nature is the teaching of the Qur'an that the ultimate question for human destiny is whether one's good deeds are greater than one's evil deeds.
It is ultimately one's own righteous deeds that determine one's eternal state of happiness or harm. Thus Muslims reject the idea of Jesus's atoning work on the cross, as well as the historical reality that Jesus even died upon a cross.
It is this message, the gospel, that is the centerpiece of the Christian faith. Any religious tradition claiming continuity with Christianity in any meaningful sense must affirm these truths. Yet it is here that Islam falls short.
Islamic Denials: Jesus's Death, Atonement and Resurrection. In sharp contrast, Muslims deny that Jesus is God come in human form (the incarnation), that he died upon a cross an atoning sacrifice for sin, and that he was resurrected on the third day. While the following passage contains some ambiguities (e.g. whether it denies that the Jews were those who killed Jesus or whether Jesus did not die upon the cross21), many Muslims believe it denies that Jesus was crucified at all.
Clearly, to deny the death of Jesus upon the cross is to denounce the gospel that is at the core of the Christian faith. In that light, no meaningful claim to confirming the Christian faith or the gospel of Jesus can be offered.
Now Muslims may respond to our display of doctrinal discontinuity in a couple ways. First, they may argue that just as we argue that Islam cannot be a confirmation of Christianity because of such doctrinal discontinuities, so Christianity cannot be a fulfillment of Judaism because its teachings are just as discontinuous. If this were so, all it would show is that both Islam and Christianity are to be rejected as false religions. Nevertheless, while Muslims fail to shy away from such accusations, Christians would dispute this analogy on several significant grounds.
A second possible response could be that in our illustrating the discontinuities between Islam and Christianity we have revealed just what is to be expected since the biblical texts have been corrupted. In other words, the force of the argument is turned back upon Christianity, charging Christianity with having distorted the biblical texts such that they are now doctrinally and historically corrupted. But Muslims have yet to provide justification for this claim, apart from circular appeals to the Qur'an and Islamic traditions.
In what follows, we will take each of these objections in turn, beginning with the latter.
Muslims attempt to mute the significance of these doctrinal incoherencies by arguing that the text of the Bible has been corrupted. Such a move only creates a greater problem, however. Here we encounter one of the more significant disanalogies in the relationship of Islam to Christianity and Christianity to Old Testament religion. Simply put, the New Testament authors never criticize the Old Testament. Rather, the point of contention between Jews and Christians was (and is) with regards to interpretation and the fulfillment of prophecy. But New Testament speakers and authors never criticized the Jews for corrupting the texts or adhering to fraudulent texts. This is a significant element of continuity that Christianity has with Old Testament religion, but Islam does not have with Christianity. In fact, the earliest Christians were largely Jews who upheld the authority of the Old Testament revelation and the reliability of the contemporary texts. Here are some sample affirmations.
Affirming the Old Testament. First, we find statements in the New Testament that affirm the entire Old Testament as inspired by God, even providing wisdom for salvation.
Paul is here referring to the Old Testament revelation, even though it is plausible to find a legitimate extension of the principle to the later New Testament writings.
Affirming the Prophets. Second, we also find the New Testament authors attributing the inspiration of the prophets to the work of the Spirit of God.
Affirming the Word of God. Third, in both the Old and New Testaments we find affirmations that God's word will not pass away, but that God will sustain it throughout the ages — not in the form of some heavenly book or scroll or tablet, mind you, but among the people of God on earth.
Paul both introduces and concludes Romans noting how the gospel he proclaims stems from the Old Testament.
In addition to these agenda-setting declarations, Paul noted that the righteousness of God — which supplies the substance of his gospel — was testified to by the law and the prophets, "But now, apart from law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed, and is attested by the law and the prophets" (Romans 3:21). And even though some would charge Paul with being unlawful, he explicitly declares the contrary when he writes, "Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law" (Romans 3:31).
Paul even viewed himself and his congregations as accountable to the Old Testament scriptures, noting that they have a continuing validity for the Church as the people of God.
Paul viewed his ministry — the proclamation of the fulfillment of the prophesied gospel — as dependent upon and derived from the Old Testament prophecies and promises. This is amply verified through even a cursory reading of his epistle to the Romans (and not only this one) with an eye toward Paul's explicit quotations culled from the law, the writings, and the prophets.
Clearly, Paul's posture here stands in sharp contrast to that of Muslims who are critical of the Old Testament. Again, it must be noted that Islam stands in sharp disanalogy to Christianity when it seeks to legitimate its teachings through demeaning the Bible.
Some Muslims might object to what we have presented, arguing that since Christianity has set aside the practices of circumcision and sacrifice, clearly Christianity abrogates the religion of the Old Testament. While this argument may carry some intuitive force, I believe there are good reasons to reject it. I believe that one way to accomplish this is to show that within both the Old and New Testaments there is a distinction made between various kinds of law, with some being viewed as more significant for the quality of religious loyalty that God expects of his people.
Greater and Lesser Commands in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament itself we find a prophetic anticipation of the New Testament distinction between greater and lesser commands of the law. Examples may be found in the following passages.
Greater and Lesser Commands in the New Testament. Thus we can see resident in the Old Testament itself a distinction of significance between the laws. It is just this distinction that is picked up by Jesus and the New Testament authors to argue for the non-necessity of certain laws due to the coming of the Messiah as the redeemer of his people.
It must be kept in mind here that such sacrifices and offerings were commanded in the law. But as we noted above, even in the Old Testament it is clear that there are greater concerns (Psalm 40:6-8).
Not only do we find such distinctions as noted above, but we also find passages which would otherwise be incoherent without allowing for distinctions between what we might classify as the moral and the ceremonial (or cultic) laws (though here I refer not simply to all ceremony, but to those ceremonies which are distinctly bound to the old covenant rather than the new; e.g. circumcision).
Notice, Paul says that he is "not under the law" and also that he is "not free from God's law." Whatever could he mean? He notes that he is "under Christ's law," that is, the law understood in light of the Messiah who has come; that is, the law as perpetuated during the Messianic era.25 Of course, all this implies that certain laws have met their intended goals or temporal conclusions. Such laws and the reconciliatory sacrifices for sin have met their conclusion in the Messiah (see the book of Hebrews). Such laws as circumcision have met there goal in the circumcision of the heart by the Spirit, coupled with the writing of God's law upon our hearts (see Romans 2:17ff.26 in concert with Romans 8:1ff.). Consider also Paul's statement contrasting circumcision with the commands of God: "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts" (1 Corinthians 7:19).
The Case of Circumcision. Wasn't circumcision a command of God? Yes. So on what basis can Christians deny its continuing obligation? That particular rite — which should be viewed more in terms of a social or covenantal boundary marker27 — belongs to the old covenant. Nevertheless, it seems to be the case that this particular rite could be practiced to no effect, thus receiving the charge of having "uncircumcised hearts" (Leviticus 26:41; Jeremiah 9:26; cf. Acts 7:51). Indeed, the old covenant demand was not merely circumcision of the flesh, but circumcision of the heart.
The new covenant, promised in the Old Testament, carries with it a promise of circumcision of the heart, rather than of the flesh.
Such a promise is related to a constellation of additional promises relating to God granting his people new hearts, putting a new spirit within them (Ezekiel 11:19; 18:31; 36:26), as well as the grace of God in writing his law upon their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33; cf. Isaiah 51:7).
Thus Paul writes in echo of the promises in Deuteronomy and Jeremiah that God would circumcise our hearts.
The law of God, as seen everywhere in Paul's epistles, clearly perpetuates the prohibitions against idolatry and immorality of every sort (see, e.g., Romans 8; 1 Corinthians 5, 10; Galatians 5).
In summary, as we read through Paul's writings we see him both advocating a very strong ethic, as well as arguing that certain laws are now inoperative. Thus, when he writes to the various churches regarding Christian ethics, he is a great pains to show that Christians do have laws (standards of righteousness and holiness) which are continuous with the ethical demands of the Old Testament (see, e.g., Galatians 5:14, 23b; Romans 3:31; 6:11ff; 8:1-14; 13:8-10). Such instructions typically arise when Paul is instructing Gentile Christians how to live an authentic Christian lifestyle (see, e.g., 1 Corinthians 5:1-6:20; Ephesians 4:17-5:21). But when Paul opposes non-Christian Jews and their divisiveness with regards to Gentile Christians, he is at great pains to establish which laws no longer apply (e.g., circumcision, food restrictions, Jewish calendar, bloody sacrifices, etc.). He does so by appealing to Old Testament precedent, the ministry of the Messiah, and the gift of the Spirit that accompanies the new covenant (see, e.g., Galatians 5:16-25).
While much more could be written on this topic, I believe that what has been presented here is suggestive enough to show the Islamic objection against Christianity to be implausible. Christians have a high view of God's law (or at least they should), though some laws were temporary illustrations of the heart of the matter — the human heart.
A feature typical among quasi-Christian restorationist movements is the appeal to biblical prophecy. Such appeals are made either to establish their expected arrival as a movement, or at least the expected arrival of their founding leader. Among the majority of modern restorationist movements appeals to Daniel, Revelation and the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24-25 and parallels) are most common. Not so with Islam. Muslims appeal to Deuteronomy, Psalms, Isaiah, Habakkuk, and the Gospel of John.28 Most prominent among the references are Deuteronomy 18:15-18 and John 14:16.
Deuteronomy 18:15, 18. As we consider the alleged biblical prophecies fulfilled in Mohammad, there are two that are most prominent, Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 and John 14:16. We'll address Deuteronomy 18:15-18 first.
In these verses we read that God will raise up 1) a prophet, 2) like Moses, 3) from among the Israelites, and that he will 4) put his words in his mouth, and 5) he will proclaim to the Israelites everything God commands him.
Muslims object to the Christian affirmation that Jesus fulfilled this prophecy because Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, or God incarnate. Yet this prophecy speaks only of a prophet. But this is a false dichotomy. Jesus can be both a prophet and the incarnation of God. In fact, several passages record how Jesus described himself as a prophet.
Not only did Jesus describe himself as a prophet, but some of the people of Israel did as well. After miraculously feeding five-thousand people, they proclaimed, "After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, 'Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world'" (John 6:14). And at Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the crowds proclaimed, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee" (Matthew 21:11).
In addition, we read in the Gospel of Luke part of a conversation between Jesus and some of his very own followers. And while their eyes were temporarily blinded to the fact that this was Jesus, their description of him as a prophet remains.
All of these passages should be enough to show that according to the New Testament authors, including Jesus himself, the prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus long before the arrival of Mohammad.
Yet Muslims say that this prophecy cannot be fulfilled by Jesus because he did not proclaim the law, like Moses. But surely Jesus did proclaim the law; and like Moses he sought to restore the people of God to the purity of the law.29 This is seem most clearly in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Consider Jesus's thesis statement in Matthew 5:17-20.
In proclaiming the endurance of the law, as well as the importance of obeying the law, Jesus surely sounds like Moses near the end of Deuteronomy.
In addition, we should note that Jesus did give laws to his people. For example, in John 14:34 we read, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." And the later New Testament authors can even speak of "the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2; cf. 1 Corinthians 9:21).
So, Jesus is a prophet and he was like Moses, a proclaimer of the law, but Muslims object to reading "from among their brothers" as a reference to an Israelite prophet. They rather understand the passage to be referring to non-Israelites brothers as it does in Deuteronomy 2:4 and 2:8 with reference to the descendants of Esau. But the usage of the term in the context surrounding Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 shows that "brethren" is to be understood with reference to fellow Israelites. For example, in Deuteronomy 17 we read the stipulation for the installment of a king over Israel. He is to be "from among your own brothers," not "a foreigner" (17:15). The king is to write a copy of the law for himself, and to read it all the days of his life, so he will not "consider himself better than his brothers" (17:20). In Deuteronomy 18:2 we read that the Levites would not be granted an allotment of the promised land, "no inheritance among their brothers." And as the Israelites gear up for the battles they will face as they enter the promised land, they are told that if one of them is fearful, "Let him go home so that his brothers will not become disheartened too" (Deuteronomy 20:8). Based on this brief survey, it is safe to say that the burden of proof is upon the Muslim who would insist that "brothers" is to be understood with reference to any non-Israelite. But while Mohammad was not an Israelite, Jesus was, as is evidenced by his genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3, and other New Testament passages.
In addition to the evidence that Jesus, his disciples, and the New Testament authors understood Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 to be fulfilled in Jesus, and that Jesus is a prophet, like Moses, from among the Israelites, we can also show that the words Jesus spoke were from God and that he proclaimed them to Israel. Regarding the fact that Jesus spoke the words God had given him, we list the following verses.
That Jesus was one who proclaimed the word of God to Israel is a truism evident in even a cursory reading of any of the New Testament gospels.
The weight of the evidence is strongly in support of the Christian view that the promise of Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 was fulfilled in Jesus, not in Mohammad. Thus Jesus challenge in John 5:46 rings loud, "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me."
John 14:16. The New Testament passage that Muslims most often refer to is John 14:16, "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever." Yusuf Ali makes the case in a footnote to Qur'an 3:81.
He further comments in a footnote to Qur'an 61:6.
Simply put, the argument is that in our Greek manuscripts the word paracletos is a corruption of periclytos. But there is absolutely no manuscript evidence to support this claim. Of the over 5,000 manuscripts now available, not one witnesses to periclytos. So, the charge of textual corruption is self-serving and completely without textual support.
Further, while Muslims assert that the identification of the Counselor with the Holy Spirit is a misinterpretation, in the very context of John 14:16 Jesus draws just this identification: "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" (John 14:26). Of course, the Muslim can claim that this statement is a fictive retrojection of the later theology of Christians, but such a claim would need at least some evidence.
Numerous additional difficulties attend the Muslim attribution of John 14:16 to Mohammad. The Counselor was to be with Jesus's disciples "forever" (14:16), but Mohammad was never with them. Nor is the answer that the message of Mohammad has continued to this day in the Qur'an a sufficient response. Jesus also said the Counselor would be "in you" (14:17), which accords perfectly with the Counselor being the Holy Spirit. The Counselor would be sent in Jesus's name (14:26), but Mohammad was not. Several additional elements could be referenced. In the end, I would hope that any Muslim who would seek to attribute the prophecy of John 14:16 to Mohammad would first read the entirety of John chapters 14-16 to see the qualities of the Counselor and how these cannot plausibly be attributed to Mohammad.
In a cultural context where religious beliefs claims are viewed as merely preferences, Muslims are to be commended for holding that such claims are either true or false. And in a world where moral values are viewed as antiquarian, Muslims have stood firmly, proclaiming that God is sovereign and that ethical standards are absolute and necessary for a healthy society. For such beliefs and postures as these, we should commend Muslims. But our intent has been to address the Muslim claim that Christianity has been abrogated by Islam.
In this study we have witnessed the fact that the Muslim perception and approach to Christianity is determined by the teachings of the Qur'an. The Qur'an teaches that Islam was the original religion, the faith of Adam, Abraham, Moses and even Jesus. We also noted that the Qur'an teaches that God has sent prophets to all the nations of the earth. Each of these prophets taught Islam. Abraham, Moses and Jesus were among them. But their ministries were limited and temporary. In contrast, the ministry of Mohammad is viewed as universal and final. He is never to have a successor. In addition, Mohammad was granted a book, just like the prophets who preceded him. But their books were corrupted whereas the Qur'an is complete, perfect and incorruptible.
In response to the Muslim perspective, we have argued that the teaching of the Bible does not accord with Islamic beliefs. Here we focused on the doctrines regarding the sinfulness of humanity, as well as upon the atoning death and resurrection of Jesus. We thus showed the implausibility of the Muslim claim to confirm previous prophets or their books. But Muslims could respond by simply arguing that the text of the Bible has been corrupted. Here we noted that their posture stands diametrically opposed to that of Jesus and the New Testament authors. Never did Jesus or the apostles or their disciples criticize the text of the Old Testament. In addition, their charge of textual corruption lacks sufficient justification. Finally we examined the primary passages Muslims believe are prophecies of Mohammad. Here we showed that they have simply misused the biblical text. In fact, I suspect that if they experienced someone who had misused the Qur'an in they way they have manipulated Deuteronomy 18 and John 14, they would be deeply offended. Texts do mean something; and a text out of context is a pretext for error.
In the end, if our arguments are sound, and we have good reasons to believe they are, then the Muslim claim that Islam abrogates Christianity is unwarranted and misleading.
There are several religions that originated within the womb of Islam. Not only do we find numerous Islamic sects (the Sunni and Shi'i being the most prominent), but we also encounter some groups that have picked up the Islamic claim of abrogating Christianity and have applied it to Islam itself. Of course, orthodox Muslims protest. Mohammad was the seal of the prophets. The Qur'an is not only the most perfect book, it is the final revelation of God. Nothing more is to be revealed. There are no more prophets to come.
Even so, large movements such as the Baha'i and Ahmadiyyah, and smaller groups such as the Nation of Islam, claim that new prophetic voices have arisen on the horizon. Expectedly enough, the adherents of Baha'i and Ahmaddiyah have been sorely persecuted, though they retain significant minorities in Arabia and Mid-Asian nations.
The following excerpt is from the Baha'i book, The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, under the heading "The Fundamental Principle of Religious Truth."34 The first paragraph illustrates well how Baha'is view their religion in relation to others. Notice also that here the concept of abrogation is denied. The first paragraph seeks to embrace not simply all religions but "all established religions," implying that upstarts are marginalized. While the first paragraph asserts that the Baha'i faith does not "abrogate" other religions, the cumulative effect of the following series of paragraphs does just the same. We begin to witness the winnowing of doctrinal allowances: Any religious traditions that proclaim a closed canon (e.g. Christianity) are charged with blasphemy. A fuller discussion of Baha'i will have to wait for another study.
1 Let no one, however, mistake my purpose. The Revelation, of which Bahá'u'lláh is the source and center, abrogates none of the religions that have preceded it, nor does it attempt, in the slightest degree, to distort their features or to belittle their value. It disclaims any intention of dwarfing any of the Prophets of the past, or of whittling down the eternal verity of their teachings. It can, in no wise, conflict with the spirit that animates their claims, nor does it seek to undermine the basis of any man's allegiance to their cause. Its declared, its primary purpose is to enable every adherent of these Faiths to obtain a fuller understanding of the religion with which he stands identified, and to acquire a clearer apprehension of its purpose. It is neither eclectic in the presentation of its truths, nor arrogant in the affirmation of its claims. Its teachings revolve around the fundamental principle that religious truth is not absolute but relative, that Divine Revelation is progressive, not final. Unequivocally and without the least reservation it proclaims all established religions to be divine in origin, identical in their aims, complementary in their functions, continuous in their purpose, indispensable in their value to mankind.
2 "All the Prophets of God," asserts Bahá'u'lláh in the Kitáb-i-Íqán, "abide in the same tabernacle, soar in the same heaven, are seated upon the same throne, utter the same speech, and proclaim the same Faith." From the "beginning that hath no beginning," these Exponents of the Unity of God and Channels of His incessant utterance have shed the light of the invisible Beauty upon mankind, and will continue, to the "end that hath no end," to vouchsafe fresh revelations of His might and additional experiences of His inconceivable glory. To contend that any particular religion is final, that "all Revelation is ended, that the portals of Divine mercy are closed, that from the daysprings of eternal holiness no sun shall rise again, that the ocean of everlasting bounty is forever stilled, and that out of the Tabernacle of ancient glory the Messengers of God have ceased to be made manifest" would indeed be nothing less than sheer blasphemy.
3 "They differ," explains Bahá'u'lláh in that same epistle, "only in the intensity of their revelation and the comparative potency of their light." And this, not by reason of any inherent incapacity of any one of them to reveal in a fuller measure the glory of the Message with which He has been entrusted, but rather because of the immaturity and unpreparedness of the age He lived in to apprehend and absorb the full potentialities latent in that Faith.
4 "Know of a certainty," explains Bahá'u'lláh, "that in every Dispensation the light of Divine Revelation has been vouchsafed to men in direct proportion to their spiritual capacity. Consider the sun. How feeble its rays the moment it appears above the horizon. How gradually its warmth and potency increase as it approaches its zenith, enabling meanwhile all created things to adapt themselves to the growing intensity of its light. How steadily it declines until it reaches its setting point. Were it, all of a sudden, to manifest the energies latent within it, it would, no doubt, cause injury to all created things ... In like manner, if the Sun of Truth were suddenly to reveal, at the earliest stages of its manifestation, the full measure of the potencies which the providence of the Almighty has bestowed upon it, the earth of human understanding would waste away and be consumed; for men's hearts would neither sustain the intensity of its revelation, nor be able to mirror forth the radiance of its light. Dismayed and overpowered, they would cease to exist."
5 It is for this reason, and this reason only, that those who have recognized the Light of God in this age, claim no finality for the Revelation with which they stand identified, nor arrogate to the Faith they have embraced powers and attributes intrinsically superior to, or essentially different from, those which have characterized any of the religious systems that preceded it.
6 Does not Bahá'u'lláh Himself allude to the progressiveness of Divine Revelation and to the limitations which an inscrutable Wisdom has chosen to impose upon Him? What else can this passage of the Hidden Words imply, if not that He Who revealed it disclaimed finality for the Revelation entrusted to Him by the Almighty? "O Son of Justice! In the night-season the beauty of the immortal Being hath repaired from the emerald height of fidelity unto the Sadratu'l-Muntahá, and wept with such a weeping that the concourse on high and the dwellers of the realms above wailed at His lamenting. Whereupon there was asked, Why the wailing and weeping? He made reply: As bidden I waited expectant upon the hill of faithfulness, yet inhaled not from them that dwell on earth the fragrance of fidelity. Then summoned to return I beheld, and lo! certain doves of holiness were sore tried within the claws of the dogs of earth. Thereupon the Maid of Heaven hastened forth, unveiled, and resplendent, from Her mystic mansion, and asked of their names, and all were told but one. And when urged, the first Letter thereof was uttered, whereupon the dwellers of the celestial chambers rushed forth out of their habitation of glory. And whilst the second letter was pronounced they fell down, one and all, upon the dust. At that moment a Voice was heard from the inmost shrine: `Thus far and no farther.' Verily we bear witness to that which they have done and now are doing."
7 "The Revelation of which I am the bearer," Bahá'u'lláh explicitly declares, "is adapted to humanity's spiritual receptiveness and capacity; otherwise, the Light that shines within me can neither wax nor wane. Whatever I manifest is nothing more or less than the measure of the Divine glory which God has bidden me reveal."
8 If the Light that is now streaming forth upon an increasingly responsive humanity with a radiance that bids fair to eclipse the splendor of such triumphs as the forces of religion have achieved in days past; if the signs and tokens which proclaimed its advent have been, in many respects, unique in the annals of past Revelations; if its votaries have evinced traits and qualities unexampled in the spiritual history of mankind; these should be attributed not to a superior merit which the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh, as a Revelation isolated and alien from any previous Dispensation, might possess, but rather should be viewed and explained as the inevitable outcome of the forces that have made of this present age an age infinitely more advanced, more receptive, and more insistent to receive an ampler measure of Divine Guidance than has hitherto been vouchsafed to mankind.

This is the judicial doctrine that through the process of progressive revelation, some earlier laws and judgments are nullified and superseded. See the helpful discussions in Jane Dammen McAuliffe, Qur'anic Christians: An Analysis of Classical and Modern Exegesis (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1991), 24, 32, 118-120, 127-128, 186.
Unless otherwise noted, all quotations of the Qur'an come from The Noble Qur'an: English Translation of the Meanings and Commentary, trans. Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan (Madinah, K.S.A.: King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur'an, n.d.). I also refer to this volume as "the King Fahd edition."
This dynamic is well-documented in Muslim Perceptions of Other Religions: A Historical Survey, edited by Jacques Waardenburg (New York: Oxford University Press, 1999), especially chapters 1-4.
As we make our way through the Islamic arguments for the abrogation of Christianity, I will provide many full texts from the Qur'an. Merely referencing the relevant passages would not facilitate clear understanding for readers unfamiliar with the narrative of the Qur'an. In addition, I believe it is instructive for readers to taste something of the flavor of Qur'anic narrative as they seek to understand the worldview and reasoning style of Muslims. Unfortunately, though, I have found the English used in translating the Qur'an to be very tortured and tedious, especially given the parenthetical remarks so often inserted. It seems as though many Muslim translators have an underdeveloped philosophy of translation.
The British English spelling of the source is retained in the quotations.

Ibid., 97, 98. Of course, Tabbarah begs two questions in his comments: First, what are those tidings spoken of by the prophets of old that he would ascribe to Mohammad (a question we touched on above and will address further below)? Second, his bafflement of there being no prophets after Mohammad flies in the face of such claimants as Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (d. 1903) and the Ahmadiyyah movement, Elijah Poole (a.k.a. Elijah Mohammad) and the Nation of Islam, and Baha'u'allah and the Baha'i movement. These movement make very similar supersessional and abrogational claims with reference to traditional Islam.

For further information, see, Walter Kaiser, Are the Old Testament Documents Reliable and Relevant? (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2001).
It is common for critical scholars to assert that the teaching of the apostle Paul are quite distinct, if not downright contrary to, the teachings of Jesus. Muslims have picked up on this argument from time to time. Regarding this subject, no better volume is currently available than David Wenham, Paul: Follower of Jesus or Founder of Christianity? (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1995).

As Professor James Dunn has written, "... Paul's critique [of the Jews] does not reduce [merely] to questions of circumcision, food laws and sabbath ... But Israel's history had reinforced the reality of the law as a boundary dividing Israel from the (other) nations, and the Maccabean crisis in particular had focused that boundary function on two or three key 'make or break' issues — especially circumcision and food laws. They remained prominent at the time of Paul, for the same reason. In sort, that is why it is precisely circumcision and food laws which are so much to the fore when Paul speaks of 'works of the law' in Galatians — not because they are the only 'works' which the law requires, but because they had become the crucial test cases for covenant loyalty and for maintaining Jewish identity as the people chosen by God for himself alone." (Jesus, Paul and the Law: Studies in Mark and Galatians [Louisville, KY: Westminster/John Knox, 1990], 210 n. 6.) Further discussions of covenantal boundary markers and Paul's view of the law can be found in N. T. Wright, The Climax of the Covenant: Christ and the Law in Pauline Theology (Minneapolis, MN: Fortress, 1991); idem., What Saint Paul Really Said: Was Paul of Tarsus the Real Founder of Christianity (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1997).
A footnote to Qur'an 7:157 in the King Fahd edition reads, "There exists in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), even after the original text has been distorted, clear prophecies indicating the coming of Prophet Muhammad, e.g. Deut 18:18; 21:21; Psl. 118:22-23; Isa. 42:1-13; Hab. 3:3-4; Matt. 21:42-43; Jn. 14:12-17, 26-28, 16:7-14."
See the extensive discussion in Dale C. Allison, The New Moses: A Matthean Typology (Minneapolis, MN: Fortress Press, 1993). See also the relevant discussions in the commentaries by D. A. Carson, R. T. France, and Craig Keener.
"Heavens and earth" here refer not to the literal physical heavens and earth, but they are a literary metaphor referring to a covenantal arrangement. Thus we find through the Bible a dynamic of "decreation" (e.g., sun and moon darkened, stars falling, heaven and earth shaken), attending the collapse of governments/kingdoms, as well as during the adjudication of covenant lawsuits. See the extended discussion of this and other metaphors and symbolism in N. T. Wright, Jesus and the Victory of God (Minneapolis, MN: Fortress, 1996), 320-368.
As an example of this "decreation" motif, witness Matthew 24:29. This falls in the midst of the discourse of Matthew 23-25, which teaches that attending the widespread Israelite rejection of their Messiah Jesus, was the adjudication of a covenant lawsuit, resulting in the destruction of Jerusalem in the first century A.D. (see, "this	generation" at Matthew 23:36 and 24:34). This was attended by the collapse of the temple, the derailing of the priesthood, and the dispersing of the Jews. Thus we find the covenantal end of the old covenant and its attendant religious hierarchy and cultic practices. But attending the judgment was the message of deliverance and salvation for God's people of faith. Hence the establishment of the new covenant by Messiah Jesus, in fulfillment of the Old Testament hope of a people of God being comprised of both Jew and non-Jew alike.
For helpful discussions of these dynamics of biblical eschatology, see, for example, the work of N.T. Wright noted above, as well as Gary DeMar, Last Days Madness: Obsession of the Modern Church (Atlanta, GA: American Vision, various editions; www.americanvision.org).

Chromebook craze won't abate this year
By Agam Shah
U.S. Correspondent, IDG News Service | PT
Google's effort to add features and push Chromebooks into more hands is working, with shipments of the low-cost laptops expected to jump 27 percent this year.
Chromebook shipments worldwide will touch 7.29 million this year, research firm Gartner said Thursday. Growth will slow down in 2016, though, with Chromebook shipments reaching 7.95 million units, Gartner said.
First introduced in 2011, most computer users are still just getting used to the Chromebook concept. The low-cost laptops, which run on Google's Chrome OS, are designed for those who do most of their computing on the Internet. They are used in much the same way that tablets and smartphones are, with most applications requiring an Internet connection.
Google is continually adding features to Chromebooks, which start at around US$149 for a basic model. PC makers like Acer, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Lenovo have flooded the market with entry-level and advanced Chromebooks.
Google is pitching Chromebooks as a Windows PC replacement with a growing list of applications that can run offline. With content-sharing, videoconferencing and collaboration tools, Google wants to raise the appeal of the laptops for businesses.
Despite its growth rate, Chromebooks will still make up a small percentage of the roughly 300 million PCs expected to ship this year.
In 2014, Chromebooks found a niche in the education sector, which accounted for roughly 67.1 percent of shipments. About 26.7 percent of the Chromebook buyers were consumers, and 6.2 percent were business users.
Chromebook adoption will grow as computing moves to the cloud, but could face competition from low-cost Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 devices, said Isabelle Durand, principal analyst at Gartner.
"The success of Chromebooks in the consumer market is as much dependent on high-speed Wi-Fi broadband, mainly outside the U.S., as it is on overcoming perceptions that apps in the cloud are not secure enough," Durand said.
Tech-savvy users will continue to pick up Chromebooks as a secondary computing device to complement full-feature desktops and laptops, Durand said. Chromebooks could be appealing to small businesses that don't have big hardware budgets, she said.
There are challenges, though. The number of offline applications for Chromebooks are limited, users are still getting used to cloud-based applications like Google Docs, and Wi-Fi issues plague regions like Asia-Pacific, expected to be a major growth area for Chromebooks.
Acer was the top Chromebook maker last year, shipping 2 million units worldwide. HP was second, while Samsung slipped further down the list after it stopped selling Chromebooks in Europe.


We brought this inspection forward following information that the registered manager was planning to leave. We required reassurances that the service would be managed effectively in their absence by the provider.
By day three of the inspection process, the registered manager, care co-ordinator and three other staff had left the service. We received four staff and two relative's concerns. Therefore, we completed a further two inspection days to ensure people were safe.
Inspection site visit started on 29 January 2019 and ended on 14 February 2019.
Days one and two of the inspection were completed by one inspector. Days three and four were completed by two inspectors. Although not present at the office, two experts by experience supported the inspection process by talking to people and their relatives over the telephone. An expert by experience is a person who has personal experience of using or caring for someone who uses this type of care service.
The service had a manager registered with the Care Quality Commission. This means that they and the provider are legally responsible for how the service is run and for the quality and safety of the care provided. By day three of the inspection, the registered manager had left the service. An interim manager had been introduced to manage the service in their absence.
We gave the service 48 hours' notice of the inspection visit because it is small and the registered manager is often out of the office supporting staff or providing care. We needed to be sure that they would be in. We also needed to seek consent from people and their relatives to receive phone calls.


Just like any relationship, it is important to discuss expectations before you sign on the dotted line. Read the contract carefully, and ensure that you are okay with all the details. Your wedding planner will likely require a deposit to start planning, and the balance will be due just before the wedding.

The World Cup
Belgium rallies to stun Japan in World Cup last 16

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia – Jan Vertonghen started Belgium's comeback with a crazy, looping header and Nacer Chadli capped it by finishing off a 10-second, end-to-end attack in the final moments.
It added up to a 3-2 victory over Japan on Monday that gave the Belgians a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals for the second straight tournament.
Trailing 2-0, Vertonghen scored with a header in the 69th minute that appeared to be a cross but somehow dropped in under the bar. Substitute Marouane Fellaini headed in another from Eden Hazard's cross in the 74th.
Chadli, who came on as a substitute in the 65th, decided it with virtually the last kick of the game in the fourth minute of injury time.
Belgium goalkeeper Thibault Courtois grabbed a corner kick and rolled the ball to Kevin De Bruyne, who dribbled to the top of the center circle and passed to Thomas Meunier on the right. Meunier one-timed the ball across the area and Romelu Lukaku let it roll by for Chadli to tap in with his left foot from 7 yards.
Belgium is the first team to overturn a two-goal deficit in a World Cup knockout match since West Germany beat England in extra time at the 1970 tournament. The last team do it in regulation was when Portugal beat North Korea in the 1966 quarterfinals.
"It's a test of character. It's a test of the team," Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said. "You have to see how the substitutes react, how the whole team reacts."
Belgium will next face five-time champion Brazil in the quarterfinals on Friday in Kazan.
Japan led through early second-half goals by Genki Haraguchi and Takashi Inui, but they couldn't hold on.
"When we were up 2-0, I really wanted to score another goal and we did have opportunities," Japan coach Akira Nishino said. "We were to some extent controlling the game, but Belgium upped their game when they had to."
What was expected to be a mismatch ended up being a classic, partly because of Martinez's decisions to send on Fellaini and Chadli as substitutes in the 65th minute.
"In football, sometimes you want to be perfect," Martinez said. "In the World Cup and especially in the knockout stage, it's about getting through."
Belgium, which narrowly avoided joining Germany, Argentina, Spain and Portugal as big-name eliminations, won all three of its group matches and scored a tournament-leading nine goals at that stage.
Japan narrowly scraped through, advancing ahead of Senegal because it had fewer yellow cards.
The Japanese have now lost in the round of 16 three times without ever reaching the quarterfinals.


Now that 2016 is coming to a slow, cold end, it's time to pull out your 2017 planner and get writing. Before you start with the list of resolutions, write that you are going to achieve those resolutions no matter what. It's now or never. First things first, get over your mediocre job. No, this is not the career you wanted or planned for yourself, yet here you are – stuck in a job because it pays the bills. No one is saying you need to do a complete 360, quit and move to another city. But small steps in the right direction will take you a long way.
Many of us hold the secret that we want to one day have our own business and do our own thing. We weren't built to follow. Whether it's writing your own book, or being able to hold meditation classes, there is an entrepreneurial thread woven into our being. We planted those seeds long ago, but somehow the dirt of life has covered it up and made us believe that it died a silent death. But actually, it was growing strong roots and is now ready to burst out and grow fierce in the freedom of sunlight and air.
Who said that the biggest entrepreneurs aren't terrified when betting against the odds? What's the difference between a loser and a winner? The winner takes the risk anyway. If he fails, at least he know what not to do the next time he tries. And that's the spirit you need. That undying passion that you will achieve what you set out to do come-what-may. Take risks in measures. Don't be a fool and go all in, but take a calculated risk that won't break you if you lose, but make you when you win.
In his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, author Robert Kiyosaki said: "The philosophy of the rich and poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left." In this world, money wins. If you don't have the money, people aren't going to follow you. Make sure that no matter what, you force yourself to keep money aside each month – this is called investing in yourself.
Timeline-vision-action. That's what you're looking for. Don't run without first understanding the path. True, life doesn't happen exactly as you want it to, but if you know where you're headed, you won't focus on those roadblocks but rather focus on the goal and achieve it. Sit down and plan. If you're working on a book for example, begin my thinking about the number of chapters you want to write. Then the title of each chapter. As you get information and inspiration, file it into each of these chapters. Force yourself to write at least one page a day and by the end of the year, you would have a whole book!
If you don't yet own a business, you own your own life. Don't make anyone else responsible for how you live or how you plan your day. If your own life is out of control, imagine what will happen if you own a business and have to take care of employees! Ownership includes responsibility, risk-taking and discipline. It doesn't come easy, and it doesn't happen to everyone. So, fake it till you make it, form positive habits and watch yourself grow!

In recent years, with the development of screen, canning production line, instrument, automobile, hardware and other industries, the demand for tile press equipment is increasing.
After market research, in order to meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, the research and development task of developing multi position CNC rotary die pressing tile machine for pressing tile machine has been established. The upper and lower part of the upper and lower part of the upper and lower part of the upper and lower part of the lower die system respectively installed a set of worm gear drive mechanism which is driven by a pair of synchronous motor and synchronously rotates the upper and lower modes. It is characterized by the upper die system including the uploading sleeve and the upper rotation.
The lower and lower worm gear transmission mechanism is fixed on the shearing machine seat frame, the upper and lower worm wheels are mounted on the upper and lower transmission sleeves, the punch and the concave die are installed in the upper and lower rotating sleeves, and the rotating sleeve and the socket are installed on the tile press. Up and down on the turntable. The upper and lower die system and the lower die system each install a set of worm and worm gearing fixed on the frame of the shearing machine and driven by a pair of synchronous motors.
The transmission sleeves of the upper and lower mode system are fitted together with the rotating sleeve respectively, and driven by the synchronous rotating worm and worm drive device. Through the control of the dialing on the upper and lower transmission sleeves, the transmission sleeve and the rotating sleeve are in a state of mutual disengagement or meshing, thus realizing the synchronous rotation of the upper and lower dies of the self rotating mould on the pressing machine, with high precision and arbitrary angle.
The center line of the roller should be on the same plane line with the center wheel, the plane degree is not more than 1mm, the gap between the top and bottom rolls of each row is equal, and the gap deviation is +0.1mm. Use regular gauge or gauge to debug.
The press type plate rolled by this machine is not only elegant and elegant, but also elegant in appearance, smooth in appearance, uniform in ripple, high in utilization, high in strength, high in production automation, low in cost and durable. The product owners are widely applicable to large and medium-sized civil buildings, such as factories, locomotives, hangar, sports venues, theatres, etc.
It will be equipped with a set of lubrication system. When the machine runs, it automatically lubricates all the bearing bearing and the moving guide rail of the transmission gear mechanism. Automatic blanking, drawing blank work program: Die Installation and the main engine test the same, and then open air compressor, vacuum pump, extruder, cut tile machine, feeding machine, press machine, main and tile conveyor, stop the extruder, and stop the rest of the equipment.
