1. Think It Through
You don't have to be an expert to write intelligently on any subject, but you do need enough knowledge to convince your reader that you know what you're talking about. Spend some time thinking and researching before you sit down to write. What's interesting, unique, important, or exciting about the subject? Why would someone want to read about it? Shift your imagination into high gear.
When you have some ideas to work with, start writing. Let your imagination run wild. Don't worry about proper sentence structure at this point -- just get your thoughts out in front of you and go with the flow. Ideas are like potato chips... if you have one, you'll probably have lots more.
3. Fill It In
Go back through what you've written and add more detail. Fill in the blanks. Connect the ideas. Build the structure. This is where you establish your style and tone. Think about who's going to read your work and choose words that make sense to the people you're writing for. Junior high students don't use the same vocabulary as research scientists.
4. Let It Rest
If the words aren't fitting together quite right, take a break. Clear your mind and let go of any angst you're feeling about your writing. When you start again, it will be easier to see what's working and what needs more work.
5. Check It Out
When you've completed a rough draft, read it through from beginning to end. Do you have a catchy title and an engaging lead? Does the body hold the reader's interest? Does it make sense? Don't rely on a spell-check program to catch your errors. Print out a copy and read it out loud. Your ears can catch the mistakes your eyes missed
6. clean It Up
Go back and fix any spelling, punctuation or grammar errors you found. Use a dictionary, thesaurus, and a style book to smooth the rough spots and polish your words until they shine. Edit, read, and repeat as needed
7. Pass It Around
Ask someone else to read what you've written. You know your mother and your best friend will think it's great, so try to get feedback from somebody who doesn't already think you're perfect. Be open to suggestions and willing to make changes, but ultimately you must be certain they are your words and that they speak well for you.
Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless manufacturing methods employed by some industries and absence of consumer demand for environmentally safe products have been behind the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to dispose of.
However, today more and more consumers are choosing 'green' and demanding that the products they buy are safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these, Will this product damage the ozone layer?, Is this package of any danger to the environment? Or Can this metal container be used once?
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the
Environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are 'green', that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products have tickets on them to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing of clean and safe products their main selling point and insist on it in their advertising.
The concern of a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. The public will no longer accept the old attitude of Buy it, Use it and then Throw it away.

Racism or racialism is a form of race, especially the belief that one race is superior to another. Racism may be expressed individually and consciously, through explicit thoughts, feelings, or acts, or socially and unconsciously, through institutions that promote inequality between races.
In the 19th century many legitimized racist beliefs and practices through scientific theories about biological differences among races. Today, most scientists have rejected the biological basis of race or the validity of "race" as a scientific concept. Racism, then, becomes discrimination based on alleged race. Racists themselves usually do believe that humans are divided into different races.
There are two main definitions of racism today. One of them states that racism is dicrimination based on alleged race, the other - newer - one states that racism has started to include also discrimination based on religion or culture
Turkish children playing in a muddy courtyard; faces of Vietnamese girls pressed against the windows of dirty barracks; security guards with their guns standing near the fences. This is an area in Cottbus, an industrial town in Germany that the police are trying to protect. It looks more like a prison than a refuge for immigrants who are more and more exposed to the violence of racist groups, like the skinheads.
E arlier this month, gangs of lawless German youths began attacking Vietnamese, Turkish and African labourers, so the authorities have rushed the victims to such places like Cottbus. Indeed, a wave of anti-immigrant violence is sweeping Germany. Every day brings some new spectacle of terror. Luckily the violence is limited to small uncontrolled groups. Most Germans are outraged at those racist gangs and refer to them as criminals and delinquents looking for fun. Thousands of Germans have marched in Berlin and other cities to protest against racism. However, foreign workers in Germany still fear for their lives and their families and do not feel totally secure. Some are thinking of going back to their native countries.
Are tourists good for a country
This question can be looked from several points of view. Firstly, tourism should be considered in relation to a country's economy. Secondly it can be seen in terms of its effects on the countryside and environment. Thirdly, the influence of the tourist industry on culture must be taken into account. The economy of a country often benefits as a result of tourism; foreign visitors come and spend their money, and this creates jobs for those who run hotels and restaurants. However, there are also certain drawbacks. Whereas the people directly involved in the industry may benefit, other may find that they are worse off. This is because the cost of living goes up and goods become more expensive since tourists are prepared to pay more for them. As far as the effect on the environment is concerned, tourism is often a bad thing. While it is true to say that development results in better roads being built and improvements for poorer areas, it is sometimes very harmful. In some countries, huge hotels and skyscrapers have ruined areas of unspoilt beauty. The cultural influence of tourism is difficult to measure. In some countries foreign influence can destroy the local way of life. On the other hand, countries which do not encourage tourism may miss the benefits that foreign technology and investment can bring. In conclusion, it can be seen that tourism has both advantages and disadvantages; if it is controlled properly, it can be good for a country, but there will always be a danger that it may do a great deal of harm.
Humain rights
The concept of human rights has existed under several names in European thought for many centuries, at least since the time of King John of England. After the king violated a number of ancient laws and customs by which England had been governed, his subjects forced him to sign the Magna Carta, or Great Charter, which enumerates a number of what later came to be thought of as human rights. Among them were the right of the church to be free from governmental interference, the rights of all free citizens to own and inherit property and be free from excessive taxes. It established the right of widows who owned property to choose not to remarry, and established principles of due process and equality before the law. It also contained provisions forbidding bribery and official misconduct.
The political and religious traditions in other parts of the world also proclaimed what have come to be called human rights, calling on rulers to rule justly and compassionately, and delineating limits on their power over the lives, property, and activities of their citizens.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in Europe several philosophers proposed the concept of "natural rights," rights belonging to a person by nature and because he was a human being, not by virtue of his citizenship in a particular country or membership in a particular religious or ethnic group. This concept was vigorously debated and rejected by some philosophers as baseless. Others saw it as a formulation of the underlying principle on which all ideas of citizens' rights and political and religious liberty were based.
In the late 1700s two revolutions occurred which drew heavily on this concept. In 1776 most of the British colonies in North America proclaimed their independence from the British Empire in a document which still stirs feelings, and debate, the U.S. Declaration of Independence
The Human Development
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standard of living for countries worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring well-being, especially child welfare. It is used to determine and indicate whether a country is a developed, developing, or underdeveloped country and also to measure the impact of economic policies on quality of life.[1] The index was developed in 1990 by Indian Nobel prize winner Amartya Sen, Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, with help from Gustav Ranis of Yale University and Lord Meghnad Desai of the London School of Economics and has been used since then by the United Nations Development Programme in its annual Human Development Report. Described by Amartya Sen as a "vulgar measure", because of its limitations, it nonetheless focuses attention on aspects of development more sensible and useful than the per capita income measure it supplanted, and is a pathway for serious researchers into the wide variety of more detailed measures contained in the Human Development Reports.The HDI measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development:
A long and healthy life, as measured by life expectancy at birth.Knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate (with two-thirds weight) and the combined primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrollment ratio (with one-third weight).A decent standard of living, as measured by the log of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) in USD.Each year, UN member states are listed and ranked according to these measures. Those high on the list often advertise it (e.g., Jean Chrétien, Former Prime Minister of Canada [1]), as a means of attracting talented immigrants (economically, individual capital).
Morocco recently saw a migration of the population of cities and villages me especially in the last 50 years that happened Leone Morocco for independence. What are the reasons that drive housing villages to migrate to cities? And what are the causes of migrations out of the negative impact?
-There is a range of reasons why the villagers to the cities Tahgerh me among them lack even the most basic means necessary hospitals and transportation means Finding work Mestekareaulthossein circumstances of living .................. ect . The result eased the congestion entire towns and neighborhoods Baladi shanties and Tahera begging and the use of young children Resulting from the whole circumcision eased some tragic scenes
-Finally, I wish to state that changed everything in their power to stop the advance of the pious and out of control the situation
Immigration to the USA
Twenty seven million white immigrants entered the United States between 1880 and 1924. Two thirds of these so-called new immigrants came from different parts of Europe that were economically underdeveloped. In the first decade of the 20 th century, about six million immigrants arrived from Russia, Austria, Hungary and Italy. They were drawn by the flourishing manufacturing sector of the economy. They not only brought their labour force but also their skills that were vital to industries such as construction and textile. Nevertheless, their customs and culture struck native-born, Americans who considered them as impossible to assimilate.
That phenomenon did not last forever. With the end of the colonial empires in the fifties and sixties and emergence of independent Asian and African countries, a new law was voted: The 1964 Hart-Cellar Act. This law gave equal access to Asians, Africans, Latin-Americans and Europeans. Since then, over eight million legal immigrants have entered the United Stated, about half of them from the Third World.
The new immigrants are likely to change the composition of the American population. Some demographers predict that by 2030, American and Europeans roots will not be a majority. Even the dominance of the English language is seen as uncertain. The problem is whether the diversity of origins will continue to maintain American Society as united as it has been so far.
A mong the reasons why immigrants have traditionally come to the USA is to have a better life – that is to raise their standard of living. It was properly the most important reason for leaving their homeland. Because of its abundant natural resources, the United States appeared to be a "land of plenty" where millions could come to seek their fortunes. Of course, most immigrants "didn't get overnight" and many of them suffered terribly, but the majority of them were eventually able to improve their former standard of living.
Americans pay a price, however, for their material wealth: hard work. Hard work has been both necessary and rewarding for most Americans throughout their history. Because of this, they have come to see material possessions as the natural reward for their hard work. In some ways, material possessions are seen not only as a clear evidence of people's work, but also of their abilities. Most Americans believe that if people work hard, they are likely to have a good standard of living.
S ince people's status in society is frequently measured by how much they own, Americans often feel pressured to buy more than they need. They want to appear as prosperous as everyone else round them, and this means making a continuing effort to buy newer and better material.
I n reality, some people have a better chance for success than others. Those who are born into rich families have more opportunities than those who are born in poorer families. Inheriting money gives a person a real advantage. In spite of laws designed to promote equality of opportunity for all races, many black Americans have fewer opportunities than the average white Americans.
Globalization refers to increasing global connectivity, integration and interdependence in the economic, social, technological, cultural, political, and ecological spheres. Globalization is an umbrella term and is perhaps best understood as a unitary process inclusive of many sub-processes (such as enhanced economic interdependence, increased cultural influence, rapid advances of information technology, and novel governance and geopolitical challenges) that are increasingly binding people and the biosphere more tightly into one global system.
There are several definitions and all usually mention the increasing connectivity of economies and ways of life across the world. The Encyclopedia Britannica says that globalization is the "process by which the experience of everyday life ... is becoming standardized around the world." While some scholars and observers of globalization stress convergence of patterns of production and consumption and a resulting homogenization of culture, others stress that globalization has the potential to take many diverse forms.
WAR is one of the wost crime that pople have ever made to the humanity. that's why we should know why some ediot poeple can't stand leaving in peace because
the best thing that can draw the smile on every one's face is the peace. but in reality we have a deferent image to the world, we see that no one want to respect the right of other or want's to enslave poeple or take there weals, and they make some silly reasons to get what they want exactly like what happend to
our brothers in iraq.
war also creat a very bad destarction and ruin in everywhere.
and from the main point we can say that poepl in stean of burning world they have to to learn how to leave in peace and creat the happiness instead of hate and killing.
In economics, business is the social science of managing people to organize and maintain collective productivity toward accomplishing particular creative and productive goals, usually to generate profit.
The etymology of "business" refers to the state of being busy, in the context of the individual as well as the community or society. In other words, to be busy is to be doing commercially viable and profitable work.
The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the general usage (above), the singular usage to refer to a particular company or corporation, and the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the record business," "the computer business," or "the business community" -- the community of suppliers of goods and services.
The singular "business" can be a legally-recognized entity within an economically free society, wherein individuals organize based on expertise and skills to bring about social and technological advancement.
In predominantly capitalist economies, businesses are typically formed to earn profit and grow the personal wealth of their owners.
The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for their work — that is, the expense of time and energy — and for their acceptance of risk — investing work and money without certainty of success.
Notable exceptions to this rule include some businesses which are cooperatives, or government institutions.
However, the exact definition of business is disputable as is business philosophy; for example, some Marxists use "means of production" as a rough synonym for "business"; however a more accurate definition of "means of production" would be the resources and apparatus by which products and services are created.
Control of these resources and apparatus results in control of business activity, and so, while they are very closely related, they are not the same thing.
Socialists advocate either government, public, or worker ownership of most sizable businesses. Some advocate a mixed economy of private and state-owned enterprises. Others advocate a capitalist economy where all, or nearly all, enterprises are privately owned.
Business Studies is taught as a subject in many schools
A is the consequence of when a potential natural hazard becomes a physical event (e.g. volcanic eruption, earthquake, landslide) and this interacts with human activities. Human vulnerability, caused by the lack of planning, lack of appropriate emergency management or the event being unexpected, leads to financial, structural, and human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, their resilience.[1] This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability".[2] A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement
Advertinsing
One the hand advertising makes consumers aware, of the new products on the market and helps them spend their money wisely it also as creates many jobs .
On the other hand advertising makes people feel frustrated, if they can't afford the products .it also increases the prise of goods what's more it urges consumers to buy unnecessary commodities .
A drought
A drought is a prolonged, abnormally dry period when there is not enough water for users' normal needs. Drought is not simply low rainfall; if it was, much of inland Australia would be in almost perpetual drought. Because people use water in so many different ways, there is no universal definition of drought.
Meteorologists monitor the extent and severity of drought in terms of rainfall deficiencies. Agriculturalists rate the impact on primary industries, hydrologists compare ground water levels, and sociologists define it on social expectations and perceptions
It's not necessarily a fact that small families are the best, but the fact that raising just one child is extremely expensive. There is the hospital bill, one must have good medical/dental (very expensive) for those toothaches, possible braces, fevers, scrapes, childhood diseases, not to mention the many shots children get during their younger years. There is clothing, food, a good home to live in, education and other hidden costs. Your child is better adjusted if they (a boy) are put into a sport at the age of 5 or 6, or if it's a girl, into dancing, etc., to keeping them off the streets and also give them insight as to what the future can hold for them. It costs many thousands of dollars to raise one child, and I use to know the stats on it, but it has since changed.
If a family can afford more than 2 children (good to have sibling) then they should go for it. I have known families during the 50s to 70s where there were 5 - 8 kids in a family and they were all well adjusted kids, not to mention the oldest child always ends up helping mom and pop out. Large families can be fun, but if you can't afford it this can cause a great deal of pressure on the parents and either shorten their life span or end in divorce. To have a large family you have to be well organized
Right of women
Nowadays we take it for
granted that women have the same rights as men before the first world war few people believed this.
As far as work was concerned there were jobs wich were regarded as women`s jobs and other wiche were regarded as men`s jobs. Women`s jobs were generally lower paid as men`s. Men did almost all the heavy jobs in industry or in transport.
Women had jobs like dress-making, cleanning or worked as servants.
Women`s main role was as being to raise children and look for their home. Women were not expected to take position of leaderschip. Women were not even allowed to vote in elections.
Before the war some women had been struggling to achieve greater equality with men. The most famous of these had been the suffragettes who stagged a violent campaign against the govervment from 1905 to 1914 trying to achieve the right to vote.however, at the outbreak of war, the were still no near to success. Many men argued that women were unsuited to such responsibility that women could not be trusted to vote sensibly that women should not concern themselves with such male activities and voting.
During the war many things changed
Millions of women throughout the world live in conditions of abject deprivation of, and attacks against, their fundamental human rights for no other reason than that they are women.
Combatants and their sympathizers in conflicts, such as those in Sierra Leone, Kosovo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, and Rwanda, have raped women as a weapon of war with near complete impunity. Men in Pakistan, South Africa, Peru, Russia, and Uzbekistan beat women in the home at astounding rates, while these governments alternatively refuse to intervene to protect women and punish their batterers or do so haphazardly and in ways that make women feel culpable for the violence. As a direct result of inequalities found in their countries of origin, women from Ukraine, Moldova, Nigeria, the Dominican Republic, Burma, and Thailand are bought and sold, trafficked to work in forced prostitution, with insufficient government attention to protect their rights and punish the traffickers. In Guatemala, South Africa, and Mexico, women's ability to enter and remain in the work force is obstructed by private employers who use women's reproductive status to exclude them from work and by discriminatory employment laws or discriminatory enforcement of the law. In the U.S., students discriminate against and attack girls in school who are lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgendered, or do not conform to male standards of female behavior. Women in Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia face government-sponsored discrimination that renders them unequal before the law - including discriminatory family codes that take away women's legal authority and place it in the hands of male family members - and restricts women's participation in public life

Working children
Child labour is one of the problems that many countries face, there are various causes that drive children to work some of them drop out of school in order to help their poor or sick parents others have to work because they are orphans. In addiction some parents are ignorant they think education is a waste of time.
Working children face a tough life; in factories and mines they work in bad conditions no fresh air, long hours they may be injured by machines they are also deprived of education and childhood
Old at tewenty
T he story of women in sports is like the story of women in many other activities. First they were ignored, and then gradually became accepted. Now they are just taken for granted as part of any sporting events.
T ake gymnastics, for instance. When women first took part in the Olympic Games in 1928, they were not allowed to do gymnastics. Women's gymnastics was then thought 'indecent'.
T he first woman to attract attention to this sport was a Russian girl called Olga Korbut. In the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich she amazed everybody and won a gold medal. The next girl who surprised the whole sporting world was the Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci. In the 1976 Olympic Games she won the overall title. She was then 14. Girls' popularity in this sport was here to stay.
H owever, if these girls get glory at such an early, they pay for it. They work hard. What's more, they give their lives, quite often from the age of seven, to the sport. They are considered 'old' at the age of twenty.
P erhaps you are wondering what they do when they 'retire'. For some, fame continues. Olga Korbut, for instance, became a film star and married a Rock musician. Others fall back into obscurity and have to adapt to a new way of life.
W hen asked in an interview whether she regretted her career, Nelli Kim, an 'old' gymnast answered, "No. For the rest of your life you always remember the wonderful sensation of flying through the air, after a good routine on the bars. It really is a moment of perfection."
When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere - even in hospitals! Ads for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on buses or trains, billboards, TV, and in many magazines.
Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 14 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up!
Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgement and wisdom. Education has as one of its fundamental goals the imparting of culture from generation to generation (see socialization). Education means 'to draw out', facilitating realisation of self-potential and latent talents of an individual. It is an application of pedagogy, a body of theoretical and applied research relating to teaching and learning and draws on many disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, sociology and anthropology.
The education of an individual human begins at birth and continues throughout life. (Some believe that education begins even before birth, as evidenced by some parents' playing music or reading to the baby in the womb in the hope it will influence the child's development.) For some, the struggles and triumphs of daily life provide far more instruction than does formal schooling (thus Albert Einstein's admonition to "never let school interfere with your education"). Family members may have a profound educational effect — often more profound than they realize — though family teaching may function very informally
. our food.
In conclusion, these problems are growing daily because people don't want to change their lifestyle. People need to be educated so they will stop damaging our planet.
Furthermore,governments should take actions to prevent individuals and companies from harming their environment
A language is a system used to facilitate communication among higher animals and/or computers. This article is about the fundamental features typically found in nearly all natural human languages. For information about artificial languages specifically for computers, please see instead machine code. Higher animals believed to employ audible language only, without symbols, include, but are not limited to, dolphins and whales. For information about this subject, please see "Animal communication" instead
World science is dominated today by a small number of languages, but English which is probably is the most popular global language of science and of modern technology that because many reason: first it is international language and the majority of country used it as their home language, In addition to that you can understand what happen in the world, in the other hand you can understand the new technology, moreover we see that the people that speak more than two language have a chance to get a better job than the other people who can speak just one. And also it is very important to student who want finish their Hight study in university.
Finally English will become more important in the future and more using in all things
A minority or subordinate group is a sociological group that does not constitute a politically dominant plurality of the total population of a given society. A sociological minority is not necessarily a numerical minority — it may include any group that is disadvantaged with respect to a dominant group in terms of social status, education, employment, wealth and political power. To avoid confusion, some writers prefer the terms "subordinate group" and "dominant group" rather than "minority" and "majority".
In socioeconomics, the term "minority" typically refers to a socially subordinate ethnic group (understood in terms of language, nationality, religion and/or culture). Other minority groups include people with disabilities, "economic minorities" (working poor or unemployed), "age minorities" (who are younger or older than a typical working age) and sexual minorities (whose sexual orientation or gender identity differs from the sociological norm).
The term "minority group" often occurs alongside a discourse of civil rights and collective rights which gained prominence in the 20th century. Members of minority groups are subject to differential treatment in the society in which they live. This discrimination may be directly based on an individual's perceived membership of a minority group, without consideration of that individual's personal achievement. It may also occur indirectly, due to social structures that are not equally accessible to all. Activists campaigning on a range of issues may use the language of minority rights, including student rights, consumer rights and animal rights. In recent years, some members of social groups traditionally perceived as dominant have attempted to present themselves as an oppressed minority, such as white, middle-class heterosexual males.
Studies have consistently shown a correlation between negative attitudes or prejudice toward minorities and social conservatism (as well as the converse, positive attitutes and social progressivism).[2] Minority groups in history, include Jews under Nazi Germany and African Americans in the Jim Crow period
Nowdays ,TV viewers have a wide choice of channels .More and more people have got satellite TV not all of them are satisfied with it .

For the first twenty years of motion picture history most silent films were short--only a few minutes in length. At first a novelty, and then increasingly an art form and literary form, silent films reached greater complexity and length in the early 1910's. The films on the list above represent the greatest achievements of the silent era, which ended--after years of experimentation--in 1929 when a means of recording sound that would be synchronous with the recorded image was discovered. Few silent films were made in the 1930s, with the exception of Charlie Chaplin, whose character of the Tramp perfected expressive physical moves in many short films in the 1910's and 1920s. When the silent era ended, Chaplin refused to go along with sound; instead, he maintained the melodramatic Tramp as his mainstay in City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936). The trademarks of Chaplin's Tramp were his ill-fitting suit, floppy over-sized shoes and a bowler hat, and his ever-present cane. A memorable image is Chaplin's Tramp shuffling off, penguin-like, into the sunset and spinning his cane whimsically as he exits. He represented the "little guy," the underdog, someone who used wit and whimsy to defeat his adversaries.
Eisenstein's contribution to the development of cinema rested primarily in his theory of editing, or montage, which focused on the collision of opposites in order to create a new entity. One of the greatest achievements in editing is the Odessa Steps sequence, in his film Potemkin (1925). Eisenstein intercut between shots of townspeople trapped on the steps by Czarist troops, and shots of the troops firing down upon the crowd. Members of the crowd became individual characters to viewers as the montage continued. Within the editing track the fate of these individuals was played out. A mother picks up her dead child and confronts the troops. Then she is shot. A student looks on in terror and then flees--his fate uncertain. An old woman prays to be spared, but she is killed by a soldier who slashes her face with his saber. When a woman holding her baby carriage is killed, she falls to the steps, and the carriage begins a precipitous decline--shots of the baby crying are intercut with wide shots of the carriage rolling down the steps. To Eisenstein, each individual shot contributed an energy within the editing track that yielded far more than the sum total of shots. In other words, the "combination" of shots through editing created a new entity, based on the expressive emotional energy unleashed through the editing process.
Terrorism is a term used to describe violence or other harmful acts. Terrorism expert Walter Laqueur in 1999 has counted over 100 definitions and concludes that the "only general characteristic generally agreed upon is that terrorism involves violence and the threat of violence". Most definitions of terrorism include only those acts which are intended to create fear or "terror", are perpetrated for an ideological goal (as opposed to a "madman" attack), and deliberately target "non-combatants".
As a form of unconventional warfare, terrorism is sometimes used when attempting to force political change by: convincing a government or population to agree to demands to avoid future harm or fear of harm, destabilization of an existing government, motivating a disgruntled population to join an uprising, escalating a conflict in the hopes of disrupting the status quo, expressing a grievance, or drawing attention to a cause.
The terms "terrorism" and "terrorist" (someone who engages in terrorism) carry a strong negative connotation. These terms are often used as political labels to condemn violence or threat of violence by certain actors as immoral, indiscriminate, or unjustified. Those labeled "terrorists" rarely identify themselves as such, and typically use other generic terms or terms specific to their situation, such as: separatist, freedom fighter, liberator, revolutionary, vigilante, militant, paramilitary, guerrilla, rebel, jihadi or mujaheddin, or fedayeen, or any similar-meaning word in other languages.
Terrorism has been used by a broad array of political organizations in furthering their objectives; both right-wing and left-wing political parties, nationalistic, and religious groups, revolutionaries and ruling governments.[1] The presence of non-state actors in widespread armed conflict has created controversy regarding the application of the laws of war.
An International Roundtable on Constructing Peace, Deconstructing Terror (2004) hosted by Strategic Foresight Group recommended that a distinction should be made between terrorism and acts of terror. While acts of terror are criminal acts as per the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373 and domestic jurisprudence of almost all countries in the world, terrorism refers to a phenomenon including acts, perpetrators of acts of terror and motives of the perpetrators. There is a disagreement on definition of terrorism. However, there is an intellectual consensus globally that acts of terror should not be accepted under any circumstances. This is reflected in all important conventions including the United Nations counter terrorism strategy, outcome of the Madrid Conference on terrorism and outcome of the Strategic Foresight Group and ALDE roundtables at the European Parliament

Rap in Morocco
Known Arab societies .. great social transformations of the way to dress, language and music minor, the latter known for a profound transformation in the structure here in Morocco. Years ago there was Umm Kulthum and sisters in the Middle and "Beatles" and the other in the west .. And no one heard something called "Rabbi" .. And now each city task by the way has turned into a "comfort dance" and "Hip Hop." "Allah Kaen" months a bridge in Morocco, started from Meknes and then to the rest of the cities .. If followed a march this group since incorporation, we find that it began - eg other teams - singing vocabulary "Albdaeh" .. and the market talk, but after that started and appeared on the television market and publicity, turned to singing, "sharply less" .. Loser "His tongue Alsulait also describes himself, no one is safe from the" Staemah ".. by the government to the parliament .. to .. Islamists to others is not known. People say that they want to live and have a family of "Rabbi", and that he is not afraid and does not acquit anyone .. and songs that can not hear in the "House" oversupplied Albdaeh .. vary between talk the curriculum vitae .. and love for his country .. and an affront to its enemies .. and of course the ever-present talk begin. It is noted that the last Owl "west of death" or "Moroccans to death became a trademark task in Morocco .. "Losers" to defend himself after facing charges of using words begin : "that convey the pulse of the street .. and that something will come from Him." , Considers itself the representative of the song of youth and finds that the future of "bridge" .. A few months ago, Moroccan officials : "Rabbi is the future of Moroccan song," saying this was a storm of opposition from those who are still Etarbon songs "languages" and regarded Rabbi outsider Ttaghavina .. and "incompatible with morality." Rabbi entered politics from the door wide : months before hosting Youth Socialist Union Party in Morocco Magti Rabbi Tawfiq Hazb known "Balkhasr" so Yahya evening attended by senior officials of the party : with songs that contain insults and dictionary "under the belt". Opponents of the party said that the Socialist Union "exploited rap to attract young people after its failed to do so." Professor Abdul Ghani Mendip professor of sociology at the University of Mohammad Alhams is that of Rabbi "comes within the framework of social transformation which Arafa Morocco." Hence, we must Ntani in sentencing and study the issue in a scientific and rational use away from the emotions. And among the finds that the phenomenon of Rabbi alien Ttaghavina and therefore must be cured .. zeolite, and the shift from the view that natural community .. And among the finds that the Rabbi is the future .. and the song of Moroccan considers summer cloud will pass soon ... Among all those views we have the right to ask : Does the fact created alternatives for youth to Governance.
The Internet is a worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked web pages and other documents of the world wide web.
The USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the United States to create the Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as ARPA, in February 1958 to regain a technological lead.[1][2] ARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution.
Licklider had moved from the Psycho-Acoustic Laboratory at Harvard University to MIT in 1950, after becoming interested in information technology. At MIT, he served on a committee that established Lincoln Laboratory and worked on the SAGE project. In 1957 he became a Vice President at BBN, where he bought the first production PDP-1 computer and conducted the first public demonstration of time-sharing.
At the IPTO, Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching (as opposed to circuit switching) to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. Following on from this, the British Post Office, Western Union International and Tymnet collaborated to create the first international packet switched network, referred to as the International Packet Switched Service (IPSS), in 1978. This network grew from Europe and the US to cover Canada, Hong Kong and Australia by 1981.
The first TCP/IP-wide area network was operational by January 1, 1983, when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet.
It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1985. Important, separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged with, the NSFNet include Usenet, BITNET and the various commercial and educational networks, such as X.25, Compuserve and JANET. Telenet (later called Sprintnet) was a large privately-funded national computer network with free dial-up access in cities throughout the U.S. that had been in operation since the 1970s. This network eventually merged with the others in the 1990s as the TCP/IP protocol became increasingly popular. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks, especially the international X.25 IPSS network, allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of the term "Internet" to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.
A revolution
A revolution (from Late Latin revolutio which means "a turn around") is a significant change that usually occurs in a relatively short period of time. Variously defined revolutions have been happening throughout human history. They vary in terms of numbers of their participants (revolutionaries), means employed by them, duration, motivating ideology and many other aspects. They may result in a socio-political change in the socio-political institutions, or a major change in a culture or economy. Scholarly debates about what is and what is not a revolution center around several issues. Early study of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from psychological perspective[citation needed], soon however new theories were offered using explanations for more global events and using works from other social sciences such as sociology and political sciences. Several generations of scholarly thought have generated many competing theories on revolutions, gradually increasing our understanding of this complex phenomenon

Yamaha Philippines launches 2020 XSR155
Yamaha unveils newest 150cc XSR naked bike
Yamaha July 11, 2020 - 9:17 AM
Earlier this year, MotoPinas.com was the first to break news on the XSR 155's arrival in the Philippines. Unfortunately, the complications brought about by the coronavirus outbreak had delayed its arrival. Now, it's finally here.
Yamaha Motor Philippines has officially launched the XSR 155 through its first-ever virtual launch, hosted by Drew Arellano. Like what we previously wrote, the XSR 155's SRP is PhP162,000.
Launched last August 2019 in Thailand, the new XSR 155 will be available locally in two colors: Garage Metal (silver/black) and Tech Black (matte black, above) color schemes. It is powered by a 155.1cc liquid-cooled engine with Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) mated to a six-speed gearbox. It comes with a slipper clutch system that enables smooth downshifting, reducing engine braking. It's finished off with a sporty exhaust pipe.
Staying true to the classically-styled Yamaha motorcycles before it, the XSR 155 also features a classic-round headlight with built-in daytime running lamps and LED tail light, leather seat, and a drip-shaped fuel tank that can hold up to 10 liters of fuel. For a touch of modernity, the XSR comes with a single digital multi-function speedometer.
For its chassis, the XSR 155 uses a delta box design that is usually reserved for performance motorcycles. An inverted fork for the front and mono-shock absorber for the rear will handle the bumps on the road. Braking is handled by front and rear disc brakes.
Yamaha also promises that the XSR 155 will be "custom friendly." A full range of custom upgrade parts will be available at all Yamaha 3S shops nationwide. The Yamaha XSR155 is now available at all authorized Yamaha dealers.

Hinch Distillery triumphs at China Wine and Spirit Awards
September 28, 2020 Paid
Hinch Distillery won the highest accolade for its Ninth Wave gin at the China Wine and Spirit Awards (CWSA), alongside three other distinguished titles for its celebrated range of Irish whiskeys.
Based near Ballynahinch in County Down, the company, which produces Ninth Wave Irish gin, as well as its Hinch whiskey range, took away the 'Gin of the Year' medal, marking the distillery's first ever trophy win.
ABOVE: Dr Terry Cross, chairman of Hinch Distillery. PICTURE
Recognition as a CWSA Trophy Winner is the highest honour in the biggest and most prestigious wine and spirits competition in Hong Kong and China.
It also received three other CWSA awards for its distinctive Irish whiskey range. This includes Double Gold for its Hinch 10-Year-Old Sherry Finish Irish whiskey, Gold for its Hinch Five-Year-Old Double Wood and Silver for its Hinch Peated Single Malt.
Samples from Hinch Distillery underwent the unique 'CWSA Triple Blind Tasting Method' that the CWSA organisation has fine-tuned over 20 seasons and is highly regarded for.
The method does not allow judges to receive any information about the country of origin of the wine or spirit nor does it allow any indication of the brand and forbids communication of findings among the judging panel.
It is known as one of the strictest blind tasting standards in the sector, beckoning award applications from some of the world's most celebrated brands.
The 2020 medals rack up a lengthy list of awards bestowed upon Hinch distillery in less than a year since its launch.
The awards follow on from over a dozen other wins for Hinch Distillery in 2020, including Gold Medals for its Ninth Wave Gin brand at the World Gin Awards, Australian International Spirits Competition (AUISC), and the Canadian Alberta Beverage Awards, where again it was awarded the Best Gin award for the whole competition, the first ever non-Canadian gin to achieve this accolade.
The distillery, which produces Ninth Wave Gin as well as its Hinch whiskey range, is set to officially open in October, with public tours due to launch in 2021.
Speaking about the latest trophy, Hinch Distillery Chairman Dr Terry Cross said: "Taking our first ever trophy at CWSA 2020 makes the team very proud and is a highlight for us during what is a very surreal year for the trade. To win big during the current climate and at a competition that boasts one of the most stern blind tasting formulas there is, means our products surpass quality tests.
"The Chinese wine and spirits market has grown massively in recent years, and with China's economy growing on average 7-8 per cent each year, it shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.
"The awards also demonstrate that our hard work and technical knowledge is recognised at the highest level and with CWSA recognition, customers and trade members can feel assured that they are serving up the best quality gin and whiskies around."
The wins will help drive forward Hinch's goal to further expand its already international client base.
Both Hinch Whiskey and Ninth Wave Gin are targeting the ever-growing number of consumers who are attracted to premium spirits which deliver in both quality taste and high-level brand values.
These consumers are also attracted to brands which deliver authenticity in their story and a provenance which can only be delivered from distillation at a real working craft distillery.
To date the response to both Hinch Whiskey and Ninth Wave Gin has been phenomenal with distributors having been signed up in over half the target countries, including the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Canada, USA, Japan, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Italy, UK, Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
The distillery and visitors centre, which is located between Ballynahinch and Belfast, are both nearing completion with much of the beautiful distilling equipment, including three hand crafted copper whiskey stills and one gin still, already in situ.

AVRO 504K DYAK
AVRO 504K
When the Avro 504 came onto the market in the autumn of 1913, the aircraft type quickly became a success. Both the Army and the Royal Navy in Great Britain used the new aircraft in several different roles. Having been a great success as a bomber at the start of World War I, the aircraft was gradually withdrawn from the front line and developed as a training aircraft. By the ceasefire in 1918, 10,694 Avro 504s had been produced.
The Avro 504K, which was specifically intended to be a trainer and flying school aircraft, came onto the market in 1918. The aircraft was used by almost all flying training establishments in the RAF. It could be fitted with many types of engine: axial, radial or rotating radial. A variant of the 504K model was fitted with a water-cooled 6-cylinder Sunbeam Dyak axial engine of 100 hp. The reason was a shortage of the more efficient and reliable radial engines.
In Norway the Army Air Force had a total of five Avro 504s. The first two aircraft were the Avro 504A type and were procured in 1917. In May 1920 the Army bought two Avro 504Ks. In addition the service received one aircraft as a gift in 1922. The aircraft type was withdrawn from service in 1928.
The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum's Avro 504K Dyak, was assembled at the Kjeller aircraft factory and delivered to the Sønnenfjeldske Flying Unit in July 1921. The aircraft was in service as a school and training aircraft until 1928. In winter it was fitted with skis. The engine was a Sunbeam Dyak. It was heavier than alternative rotary radial engines, resulting in lower maximum speed, and less range and ceiling compared with K-models fitted with radial engines.
After the aircraft was taken out of service it was stored at the Norwegian Technical Museum until 1976. It was then delivered back to the armed forces for inclusion in a future aircraft museum. Since 1995 it has been part of the Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum's exhibition in the Norwegian Aviation Museum, Bodø.
The Royal Norwegian Air Force Museum's Avro 504K Dyak is painted dark olive green with a light grey underside. It has stripes in national flag colours on the top and bottom of the wings, and the rudder. The aircraft is marked with registration number 103 in black on the sides of the fuselage. The number was "inherited" from an Avro 504A that crashed in 1919.

Cholesterol often gets a bad rap, but your body does need some of it to carry out important tasks such as making hormones and keeping your organs working. However, if levels are too high problems can arise, so it's important to be in the know.
There are two main types of cholesterol. One of them is low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is known as the unhealthy kind, often referred to as 'bad'. LDL can build up in your arteries and form fatty deposits called plaques. The other one is high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is classed as the healthy kind of cholesterol and often referred to as 'good'. It transports excess cholesterol out of your arteries to your liver, which then removes it from your body.
However, don't be taken in entirely by the 'good' label. A new study from the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health has found that, for menopausal women, a high level of either type isn't great. The study, published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, shows that around the time of menopause, a high overall HDL level could be masking a higher risk of heart disease, meaning that lowering overall cholesterol is key. Dietary habits have a huge influence on this and certain foods have even been shown to reduce cholesterol, so can be used alongside medication or as a natural approach to the issue.
Follow our guide to find out about the foods that can help.
'You might not immediately think of the humble artichoke as a cholesterol buster, but this powerful plant has a myriad of health benefits,' says Emma. 'It's extremely high in antioxidants, rivalling blueberries and cranberries, and is rich in dietary fibre too. Artichokes also contain a substance known as cynarin, which can help to promote the production of bile, which is essential for fat absorption from the body. Over the years, numerous studies have shown that artichoke leaf extract – when taken regularly over a period of weeks – has been proven to reduce LDL cholesterol by 20 per cent.'

Case of Strasbourg, on January 31, 1978:
ALSACAT-1978-01-31-STRASBOURG-1
A man, "C. K.", whose anonymity was preserved by the ufology magazine that published his letter allotting no particular credit to the story claims that in the night of January 30, 1978, in the northern suburbs of Strasbourg, he was watching television, then made some yoga, went to bed and fell asleep, to awake "little afterwards" with the impression that somebody called him. He thought of taking a dagger to go outside but was satisfied to take with a carry-key penknife, left his home, closed the fence, and moved towards the very close channel. At this time he heard a kind of "beep... beep..." which seemed to him to come from the end the street, and discovered a red and white twinkling light behind a hedge of pear trees.
He goes towards the tow path and sees a "craft" of a diameter from 25 to 28 meters, under which there is a sort of stool. He went on board of the craft. Inside, there was a central corridor of some 15 meters in length and another smaller corridor on his left, and two men of which he said that that they were "beautiful, of 2 meters approximately, with crimped hair, like oiled, brown-gray, dressed of tight fitting brilliant gray-blue suits, with a collar like an officer's but without visible closing."
He gave, on May 23, 1987, a short summary of his alleged experience indicating that there was five crew members in the craft, that he was invited to make "a trip in the galaxy" which he readily accepted. After two hours, he was in the presence of a woman that he described as a "blonde Venusian" and said he had sexual intercourse with her.
2 hours or more.
In bed, then "in the galaxy" on board the UFO.
Letter to the ufology magazine LDLN.

"Contactee" type inventions.
[Ref. ld1:] "LUMIERES DANS LA NUIT" UFOLOGY MAGAZINE:
14 Night January 31, 1978 near Strasbourg 67 1 m ~45 CK
The magazine, in a series devoted to reports of close encounters with UFO and occupants, indicates to have received a "strange story" about which the comment is that its credibility "is not among the best" and of which the authenticity "cannot be regarded as being obvious."
The magazine then provides a summary of a letter of the witness whose anonymity is preserved by the magazine that refers to him as a "Mr. K", initial letter of his patronym. The magazine indicates that "the investigation was carried out" in 1989 in the close northern suburbs of Strasbourg.
The summary of this letter of Mr. K. indicates that in the evening of January 30, 1978, he was watching television. The movie was not interesting and he made some yoga exercise, went to bed and fell asleep.
He awoke "little afterwards" with the impression that somebody called him. "Probably anxious" he thought of taking a dagger to come out but was satisfied with a carry-key penknife, left his home, closed the fence, and moved towards the very close canal.
At this time he hears a kind of "beep... beep..." which appeared to him to come from the end the street, and discovers a red and white twinkling light behind a hedge of pear trees. He moves towards the tow path and sees a "craft" of a diameter from 25 to 28 meters, under which there is a sort of stool. He then entered inside the craft.
Inside the craft he discovers a central corridor of some 15 meters in length and another smaller corridor on his [or its] left. He is in the presence of two men of which he says that they are "beautiful, of 2 meters approximately, with crimped hair, like oiled, brown-gray, dressed of tight-fitting gray-blue brilliant suits with an officer's collar but without visible closing."
He provides on May 23, 1987 a short summary of his alleged experience by indicating that there was a crew of five in the craft, that he was invited to make "a trip in the galaxy" and that he accepted readily. At the end of two hours, he was in the presence of a woman whom he describes as a "Venusian blonde" - the author of the article in LDLN wonders with common sense if he had meant "Venetian blonde" - that that this creature had for him "favors of which we will conceal the detail here" - indicates the author of the article, specifying that these favors would constitute a French equivalent of the adventure of Antonio Villas Boas, i.e. sexual intercourse between Mr. K. and this "Venusian blonde."
The article specifies that all that is simply what Mr. K. claims.

He then saw a red and white light shining from behind a nearby hedgerow. Upon investigating he came upon a landed object with a ladder leading into it. He climbed onboard and inside two very tall human like figures met him. Both of these had shiny auburn colored hair and were very well built. They both wore tight fitting blue gray outfits. The beings were friendly towards the witness and apparently gave him a small tour of the "Galaxy" before returning him back to earth.

As Joel Mesnard, the author of the article in LDLN suggests in several places, there is nothing to make aynone sensible possible consider that anything is true in this story, apparently a simple letter.
This story seems to show that the fables of "contactees of the 50's" are not entirely extinct at least until the end of the 80's and perhaps this case should make people take with a grain of salt certain so-called socio-psychological studies ensuring that UFO - occupants accounts were "a fashion" and changing according to the folklore of the times. It may be naturally also possible that Mr. K. thought of getting some good laughter at ufologists' expenses with his letter, and simply took his inspiration in some old contactee story of which he could naturally have thought that it the sort of story that most "impress" ufologists.
By all means and until evidence of the contrary appears, I think that Mr. K.'s letter can be put in the "fables" category.

A privet hedge running along a property border is a classic look. The very name seems to say "privacy," as if a line of these bushes could form the ideal screen for those seeking a more private setting. Many kinds are not especially beautiful plants when considered in isolation, but they do excel in the role of hedges. Privet grows more quickly and can be shaped more easily than can boxwood shrubs, for instance. The dense foliage is not evergreen in many climates, making it best suited for summertime-only privacy hedges. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, while some have leaves that turn lovely colors in the fall before they drop.
The privet shrubs cold-hardy enough to be grown in the north are used almost exclusively to form hedges or topiaries. Privet hedges tolerate heavy pruning. They do not seem to be troubled by the pollution in urban settings, plus they are salt-tolerant plants, making them a good choice for a hedge along a street.
To plant a new hedge, position the plants about a foot apart in a trench 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep, and mound the soil around the stems.
Some varieties of privet shrubs, which are indigenous to the Old World, are considered invasive plants in parts of North America. Check to ensure whether or not the kind you want to use is appropriate for your area.
Privet varieties like either full sun or part sun, and will grow best when they get more sun. A good amount of sun also brings out the color best for gold and variegated varieties.
Privet is tolerant of a variety of soil types, as well as different levels of acidity and alkalinity, so long as it drains well. When you are planting a hedge, be sure to note any changes in soil type or condition, which will affect the uniformity of the hedge. Amend the soil if there are any areas of poor soil. They are salt-tolerant plants, which is an important consideration if they will be near a street that gets salted in the winter.
Water your privet hedges weekly. You may need to water more frequently in high heat. Drip irrigation is a good choice, especially for new hedges. Once established, they are noted to be drought tolerant.
Depending on plant variety and the zone in which you live, privet hedges can be evergreen, semi-evergreen, or deciduous. Not being evergreen in the north, privet hedges will be attractive for only a portion of the year there; for the same reason, they cannot furnish privacy year-round.
California privet (L. ovalifolium): Hardy in zones 5 to 8, it grows 10 to 15 feet high and wide.
Golden privet (L. ovalifolium Aureum): Hardy in zones 5 to 8, it grows 8 to 10 feet high and wide.
Golden Vicary (L. x vicaryi): Hardy in zones 5 to 7, it grows 6 to 12 feet tall, with a spread of 7 to 10 feet.
Border privet (L. obtusifolium): Hardy in zones 3 to 7, it grows 10 to 12 feet tall, with a spread of 12 to 15 feet.
Amur privet (L. amurense): Hardy in zones 3 to 6, it grows 12 to 15 feet tall, with a spread of 8 to 15 feet.
Japanese or "wax" privet (L. japonicum): Hardy in zones 7 to 10, it grows 6 to 12 feet tall, with a spread of 6 to 8 feet and has fragrant flowers. "Texanum" is a popular cultivar. Variegated leaves marked by gray-green mottling and cream-silver edges may be seen in the cultivars "Jack Frost," "Silver Star." and "Variegatum."
Chinese privet (L. sinense): Hardy in zones 7 to 9, it grows 10 to 12 feet tall.
Shear these bushes after they have flowered; thereafter, shear them an additional three or four times during the course of the summer. Privet hedges will become bushier and fill in better if they are pruned correctly and frequently.
Privet is a poisonous plant. The leaves and berries contain glycosides that can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. This can affect humans, cats, dogs, and horses. As the plant produces small black berries, caution children not to eat them.

This research seeks to investigate the Palestinian 'art-scene', and its relation, role and influence on the transforming modes of production and aesthetics in the Palestinian art practice particularly in the post Oslo (1994) period. The main focus of this research would be on the Palestinian art institution mainly those that emerged in the early nineties and worked over the past two decades. The research proposes that these art institutions have laid a huge influence on the art practice and production and has contributed to both the 'internationalization' of the art practice and to transforming the visual language and tools in addition to the addressed themes and concepts explored by artists in various ways and manners.

Nerdy Jewish Nelly Sue Edelmeister, daughter of a New York mother and Berlin musician in Berlin gets straight A's, except for gym. When she hears her dream prince, actual royal Edouard, a fellow astronomy buff who studies in Luxemburg, patronizes the basketball tournament hosted there by a European school she wants to join her school's girls team. So she wants Max Minsky, son of the divorced Bavarian manager of the music café where her dad plays, to coach her, in exchange for the money his ma pays for supposedly tutoring him academically. In fact she makes his homework and neglects Hebrew class in preparation for the "bat mithzwa" (synagogue initiation) her ma is obsessed with.

Last month, a first time writer from New Jersey sold a script, "Good God," through a logline he had placed on-line. Now today, Variety reports another unknown writer has sold a script via the WWW. Things are beginning to look better and better for writers on-line looking for their first (or second, or third....) sale. Let's hope the trend continues.
If you're an aspiring writer hoping the Internet can open up a few doorways to the "biz," then you'll like what was recently reported in Variety magazine.
An unknown French screenwriter pitched his script to producer Larry Thompson ("And the Beat Goes On: The Sonny and Cher Story") who has now locked up the film and TV rights to the script. The script, an Internet thriller "Murder.com," inked a low six-figure deal for Philip Devereaux of France, the 23-year-old "Murder" scribe, without any initial discussions or read-throughs.
Thompson was unsure how Devereaux managed to secure his e-mail address, though he has recived many e-mailed ideas before. "Murder" was the first one that had ever caught his attention and he flew to France for a first-time meeting with the uncredited writer.
"Murder" is the tale of a French serial killer with a new weapon -- a human virus which he torments his victims through e-mail. No production date has been set for the project as of yet.
Thompson, former co-owner of New World Pictures credits include: "Replacing Dad," "Face of Evil" and "Separated by Murder."


Is it Time for Microlite74 3.0?
I mentioned how slow progress on the revised and expanded Microlite75 Monster Mash edition has been at my Sunday Wilderness Campaign. One of the players suggested I set it aside for a few weeks and work on something I could probably complete quickly: a revision of Microlite74 to include more 0e-like saving throws and some of the other minor changes that have been suggested over the two years since Microlite74 version 2.0 came out. I could also add more optional rules than those now in Ancient Auguries, perhaps "backporting" some of the more popular rules rules in Microlite75 as optional rules for Microlite74.
Initially, I thought this was a somewhat pointless exercise as most of the changes to the core rules would be minor tweaks and any set of players worth their salt should be able to add anything from M75 to M74 that they wanted to. However, after sleeping on it, I like the idea. The point isn't to release something that is vastly different but to fine tune things a bit to make a better game with what has been learned from two years of play and to give me something I can finish quickly as a break from the slowly crawling Microlite75 revision.
I haven't made a final decision yet, but I'm now leaning toward doing a "revision" of Microlite74 where yesterday I was pretty much against the idea. I'm interested in other opinions, however. What do you think of the idea of a new version of Microlite74. The only major change to the core rules I can think of would be saving throws, however moving to a more 0e saving throw system would make high level play in Microlite74 far more like high level play in 0e. The only other major change I can think of now would be to update the notes at the end with more update to date information on retroclones and the like.

We review a very classy film for a change... and the clown car was never recovered.
After going over some listener feedback from episode #36's Friday the 13th debate, we review Peter Medak's excellent haunted house flick The Changeling. Then an e-mail from one of the stars of Carnosaur 2 (who's a great sport) kicks off a discussion on keeping our reviews honest even if they might rub some people the wrong way.
