Requires pre-registration. The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) hosts one of the most diverse satellite ground stations in the southern hemisphere and is the only station in the world with the ability to support space missions in all the commercial frequency bands. Nestled in the Magaliesburg mountain range in a radio-quiet environment, the site is the most accurately calibrated site in Africa for the Argos beacon. The Hartebeesthoek-based station has been at the forefront of the space journey right from the beginning and has supported such missions as MOM, Curiosity Rover, OCO, and most notably, the mission control for the South African Sumbandila satellite. It continues to support pioneering missions from major space players around the world.
A visit to the satellite ground station encompasses a tour of the facility, starting at the Ariane auditorium, heading to the mini-museum with memorabilia from our rich space heritage, leading to the mission control centre, and ending with a walk-about on the antenna site.
The tour of the SANSA Space Operations (SO) is scheduled for Friday, 12 May from 14:00 – 16:00.
Interested parties can book by sending an email to Mr. Johnny Rizos at jrizos@sansa.org.za before the closing deadline of 30 April 2017 and the number of visitors is limited to 40.
Departure from the CSIR International Convention Centre will be at 13:00. Departure time from SANSA Space Operations, returning to the CSIR International Convention Centre, will be at 16:00.


We investigate whether a cut in unemployment benefit payout periods affected older workers' labor market transitions. We apply rich administrative data and exploit a difference-in-differences approach. We compare the reference group of 40-44 year olds with constant benefit payout periods to older treatment groups with reduced payout durations. For the latter job exit rates declined, job finding rates increased, the propensity to remain employed increased, and the propensity to remain unemployed declined after the reform. These patterns suggest that the reform of unemployment benefits may be one of the reasons behind the recent incredible rise in old age employment in Germany.


Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) includes dispute resolution processes and techniques that fall outside of the government judicial process.
Despite historic resistance to ADR by both parties and their advocates, ADR has gained widespread acceptance among both the general public and the legal profession in recent years. In fact, some courts now require some parties to resort to ADR of some type, usually mediation, before permitting the parties' cases to be tried.
The rising popularity of ADR can be explained by the increasing caseload of traditional courts, the perception that ADR imposes fewer costs than litigation, a preference for confidentiality, and the desire of some parties to have greater control over the selection of the individual or individuals who will decide their dispute.

Taipei, June 12 (CNA) Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC Corp. said Monday that it will continue its plans to buy U.S. graphic chipset designer S3 Graphics Co. with an eye on its strong patent portfolio.
Grace Lei, HTC's general counsel, said that HTC affirms the patent values of S3 because the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) had found in a preliminary ruling in 2011 that Apple Inc. had violated S3 patents.
"We think S3's patent portfolio is valid and strong, and we have decided to complete the purchase of S3 after cautious assessment," Lei said at an annual shareholders' general meeting.
S3 currently owns about 270 patents, some of which are licensed to Sony Corp, Nintendo Co. and Microsoft Corp., Lei added.
S3 accused Apple in May 2010 of violating four patents owned by the company. The ITC ruled July 26 last year in a preliminary decision that Apple's Mac OS X system had infringed on two texture compression patents of S3, but said the iPhone and iPad had not.
Following the ITC's preliminary decision, HTC announced its purchase of S3 for US$300 million to expand its patent portfolio, as HTC and Apple have been locked in a patent war since May 2010.
However, HTC said last November that it would re-examine its acquisition of S3 after the ITC overthrew the July 26 preliminary decision, ruling that Apple's Mac OS X system had not infringed on any patents held by S3.
Addressing Taiwanese consumers' complaints about the less sophisticated version of the HTC One S smartphone offered in Taiwan, HTC CEO Peter Chou admitted that the phone indeed lacks certain components.
Local consumers have complained that the Taiwanese version of the phone uses older S3 chips from Qualcomm Inc. instead of the latest S4 chips, raising concerns that the Taiwanese version is not as power efficient as the versions sold in the U.S. and Europe, according to local media reports.
According to Chou, the two chips used in the models sold in Taiwan and in other regions are actually "the same chips" made with different process technologies.
In the past few years, HTC has usually launched its new devices in Europe and the U.S. in the first wave rather than Taiwan because of the bigger market size, so that Taiwanese consumers do not get the latest HTC products in time.
The 4.3-inch HTC One S, featuring a 1.7 gigahertz dual-core processor and an 8-megapixel camera, hit store shelves in Taiwan this month at a price of NT$17,900 (US$598).

Crime Scene Tape
Crime Scene Barrier Tape
Crime Scene Investigation Tape
What is Crime Scene Tape?
Crime scene tape is a long, thin material used to secure crime scenes by indicating that access will be denied to people who are not authorized to be in the area. The goal is to create a simple barrier to help prevent contamination of the crime scene while a crime is investigated. Many law enforcement professionals carry barrier tape in their kits, with their agencies ordering it from professional suppliers. People who are interested in this tape as a novelty item can often find it for sale at police surplus stores and novelty shops.
Classically, crime scene tape is bright yellow so that it will be highly visible, with black lettering and symbols, such as stripes. "Crime Scene: Do Not Cross" is a popular choice for lettering, and the tape may also reference the specific agency doing the investigating, such as police or a government agency concerned with national security and criminal investigations. As a barrier, the tape is primarily visual, since people can easily duck under it or step over it.
Crime scene tape is used to secure an area where a crime has been committed.
When law enforcement officials arrive at the scene of a crime, they may choose to put up this tape if they feel that sensitive evidence could be damaged or compromised. Murders and other serious crimes are usually grounds for breaking it out, and the tape may also be used in high-profile robberies and other cases. Once the tape is strung, officers may be posted in the area to ensure that only people with authorized identification are allowed to cross the barrier and enter the area.
Crime scene tape is usually yellow with black letters in order to make it visible, even from a distance.
It is extremely easy to destroy or contaminate evidence at the scene of a crime. Law enforcement officers are specially trained to navigate crime scenes and work with evidence to ensure that it is collected, handled, processed, and stored properly so that it can be used in investigation and presented as valid in court. Members of the general public do not have this training, and some may even have malicious intent to damage evidence if they can access the scene, making the barrier tape especially important.
In addition to being used to seal off sites under investigation, crime scene tape may also be installed over doorways, along with official seals to indicate that a room or building should not be entered without authorization. If someone does enter the room, he or she will break the seal, alerting law enforcement to the fact that the scene may have been compromised.

Via my newly published book I would like to invite you to understand the degree to which the way we approach uncertainty is shaped by cultural conventions. I also invite you to give up your fear of change by adopting more flexibility, multi-tracked planning, and a tolerance of failure, and by leaving room for your intuition – so that you can use change to achieve personal success.


Casey Stoner is all set to return to racing after his crash at Indianapolis. Stoner had earlier mentioned in his blog that he would be targeting a Motegi return and this now has been conformed by Repsol Honda. The world number one had been in Australia recovering from an ankle injury during qualifying. He was replaced by Jonathan Rea for the last two races who in-fact did a good job.
The injury, forced Stoner who was in a good position into missing two races this year and pretty much ruled out any chances of him taking the top spot. He has four more races before the announced retirement and his role in the MotoGP now comes down to possibly helping his team mate Dani Pedrosa keep Lorenzo at check.

Семен Михайлович (Менделейович) Осиновський ( 25 вересня 1960, Кара-Балта, Киргизька РСР) — радянський та український футболіст та тренер, виступав на позиції півзахисника та нападника, майстер спорту СРСР (1990).

Клубна кар'єра
Займатися футболом Осиновский починав у ДЮСШ невеликого киргизького міста Кара-Балта, де його першим наставником став Анатолій Калмиков. Пізніше продовжив навчання в ДЮСШ міста Фрунзе у тренерів Михайла та Федора Карабаджакових. Після закінчення спортшколи Осиновский став гравцем головної команди республіки «Алги», в складі якої провів майже сім років. Найуспішнішим для футболіста та його команди видався сезон 1978 року, в якому «Алга» стала переможцем зонального турніру другої ліги, після чого обігравши в стикових матчах команду «Спартак» (Нальчик), отримала право виступати в першій лізі. Але підвищившись у класі, Осиновский з партнерами виступили невдало, посівши за підсумками чемпіонату останнє місце і змушені були покинути другий за значимістю дивізіон радянського футболу. Влітку 1979 року в складі збірної Киргизької РСР Осиновский взяв участь в іграх літньої Спартакіади народів СРСР.

1984 рік Осиновский провів в армійській команді з Таллінна, після чого отримав запрошення в сімферопольську «Таврію». В команді з Криму, яка залишила в попередньому сезоні першу лігу, дебютував 30 березня 1985 року, в поєдинку проти «Кривбасу», відзначившись і своїм першим голом за нову команду. Всього, за підсумками першості, за сімферопольський колектив нападник зіграв 32 матчі, в яких відзначився 18 голами. Більше в команді забив тільки Володимир Науменко, з 29 голами став найкращим бомбардиром першості, в якому «Таврія» фінішувала на 1 місці, ставши чемпіоном республіки. Але в перехідному турнірі кримчани зайняли 2 місце, на три очки відставши від переможця — команди «Ростсельмаш». Наступного сезону колектив очолив Анатолій Полосін, але й при новому наставнику Осиновский продовжував залишатися гравцем основного складу команди, яка зайняла за підсумками першості друге місце. Сезон 1987 року для Осиновського став одним з найуспішніших в його ігровій кар'єрі. «Таврія», очолювана черговим наставником, заслуженим тренером СРСР В'ячеславом Соловйовим, зуміла пробитися в першу лігу. Здобувши впевнену перемогу в зональному першості, сімферопольці вдало зіграли і в перехідному турнірі. Так само успішно команда виступила і в розіграші Кубка СРСР, зупинившись за крок від вирішального матчу. Найбільш драматично для «Таврії» складався поєдинок 1/4 фіналу проти харківського «Металіста», в якому переможця довелося визначати в серії післяматчевих пенальті. «Таврія» після ударів з одинадцятиметрової позначки взяла верх — 3:2. Вирішальними стали третій удар з точки Семена Осиновського і вдала гра голкіпера таврійцев Бориса Білошапки. У матчі 1/2 фіналу проти мінського «Динамо» (в якому Семен вийшов у стартовому складі), сімферопольці поступилися майбутньому володарю трофея з рахунком 0:2. По завершенню сезону, в якому зіграв за «Таврію» в чемпіонаті 41 матч, Осиновский залишає команду, повернувшись в Киргизьку РСР, де ще протягом трьох років виступав за Фрунзенську «Алгу».

У 1991 році, досвідчений півзахисник зіграв декілька матчів за друголіговий «Достук», а потім перейшов до російського клубу АПК з міста Азов, де й завершив ігрову кар'єру. Через декілька років, вже будучи головним тренером команди першої ліги України «Дніпро» (Черкаси), в сезоні 1994/95 років, Осиновский зіграв у виїзному поєдинку проти сєвєродонецького «Хіміка» та домашньому матчі з кременчуцьким «Нафтохіміком».

Кар'єра в збірній
Виступав у юнацькій збірній СРСР U-18.

Кар'єра тренера
Самостійну тренерську кар'єру Осиновский починав в черкаському «Дніпрі». У другому чемпіонаті України прийняв клуб, який залишив в попередньому сезоні першу лігу і вже в своєму першому сезоні на посаді головного тренера повернув команді прописку у другому за силою українському дивізіоні. Сезон 1993/94 підопічні Осиновського також провели досить впевнено, протягом чемпіонату перебуваючи у верхній частині турнірної таблиці, в результаті фінішувавши на 6-му місці. Але вже в наступній першості у команди почалися серйозні ігрові проблеми. Позначалося слабке фінансування, брак кваліфікованих виконавців. У двох поєдинках головному тренерові довелося і самому виходити на футбольне поле як гравцеві.

Після 11 стартових матчів сезону 1995/96 років тренер покинув клуб, очоливши іншу першолігову команду — «Кристал» (Чортків), запросивши туди й ряд гравців зі своєї колишньої команди. Клуб з районного центру Тернопільській області був міцним середняком першості, і в підсумку фінішував на 10-й позиції. Влітку 1996 року став помічником Бориса Стрельцова, який очолив «Прикарпаття». Сезон 1996/97 років команда з Івано-Франківська розпочала вкрай невдало, в п'яти стартових турах набравши лише одне очко, після чого тренерський штаб подав у відставку. У 1997 році Осиновский знову очолив клуб з Черкас, який на той час отримав нового спонсора і змінив назву. На тренерському містку ФК «Черкаси» Семен Михайлович провів півтора року, піднявши команду в сезоні 1997/98 років на сьоме місце. Після чотирьох стартових матчів наступного сезону в серпні 1998 року наставник разом зі своїм помічником, заслуженим тренером РРФСР Борисом Стрельцовим, покинув команду, відгукнувшись на можливість потренувати зарубіжний клуб — «Аль-Іттіхад», який представляв елітний дивізіон Лівії. У футбольному клубі з Триполі Осиновский пропрацював до кінця року, після чого повернувся в Україну і незабаром очолив «Кремінь», який після першої частини чемпіонату посідав останнє, двадцяте місце в турнірі першої ліги. З приходом нового наставника клуб з Кременчука заграв упевненіше, здобувши у другому колі ряд перемог, але все ж витягнути команду із зони вильоту тренеру не вдалося. Зайнявши в результаті 17-е місце, колектив понизився у класі. Наступний сезон підопічні Осиновського провели в другій лізі, де фінішували на 6-му місці в своїй зоні.

У сезоні 2001/02 років Осиновский очолював другу команду полтавської «Ворскли», складену з молодих гравців і яка виступала у другій лізі. Після закінчення чемпіонату став біля керма команди першої ліги «Полісся» (Житомир), але після семи стартових турів сезону 2002/03 років залишив свій пост.

У середині 2000-х років Осиновский покинув Україну, перебравшись на постійне місце проживання до Німеччини, де деякий час тренував аматорські команди.

Q: Integration by parts, Reduction
I was able to complete part (a) easily by using integration by parts. I ended up getting:
$$I(n) = -\frac{1}{n} \cos x\cdot \sin^{n-1}x + \frac{n-1}{n}· I(n-2)$$
For question (b), When I integrated $1/\sin^4x$ and subbed in $n = -4$, I get the following equation:
$$\frac{1}{4}·\cos x·\sin^{-5}x + \frac{5}{4} \int sin^{-6}x dx$$
My question is, how do I integrate $\sin^{-6}x$ because it's not the same as integrating $\sin^{6}x$, which will actually get you somewhere. It feels like I'm going in a loop when integrating $\sin^{-6}x$.
I might have went wrong somewhere, help would be very much appreciated :)

A: Putting $n=-2,$ in  $$I_n=-\frac1n\cos x\sin^{n-1}x+\frac{n-1}nI_{n-2}$$
we get   $$I_{-2}=-\frac1{(-2)}\cos x\sin^{-2-1}x+\frac{(-2-1)}{(-2)}I_{-2-2}$$
$$\implies  \frac32I_{-4}=I_{-2}-\frac{\cos x}{2\sin^3x}$$
Now, $$I_{-2}=\int\sin^{-2}xdx=\int \csc^2xdx=-\cot x+C$$
Can you finish it from here?

A: Here is a start,
$$ I_n = \int \sin^{n-2}(x) \sin^2(x) dx = \int \sin^{n-2}(x) (1-\cos^2(x)) dx $$
$$ = \int \sin^{n-2}(x)dx - \int \sin^{n-2}(x)\cos(x)\cos(x)dx \dots. $$
Can you finish it? Use integration by parts to evaluate the last integral.

The Capitalist Personality
Face-to-Face Sociality and Economic Change in the Post-Communist World
Christopher S. Swader
Published January 4, 2013 by Routledge
The Capitalist Personality: Face-to-Face Sociality and Economic Change in the Post-Communist World
Modern capitalism favors values that undermine our face-to-face bonds with friends and family members. Focusing on the post-communist world, and comparing it to more "developed" societies, this book reveals the mixed effects of capitalist culture on interpersonal relationships. While most observers blame the egoism and asocial behavior found in new free-market societies on their communist pasts, this work shows how relationships are also threatened by the profit orientations and personal ambition unleashed by economic development. Successful people in societies as diverse as China, Russia, and Eastern Germany adjust to the market economy at a social cost, relaxing their morals in order to obtain success and succumbing to increased material temptations to exploit relationships for their own financial and professional gain. The capitalist personality is internally troubled as a result of this "sellout," but these qualms subside as it devalues intimate qualitative bonds with others. This book also shows that post-communists are similarly individualized as people living in Western societies. Capitalism may indeed favor values of independence, creativity, and self-expressiveness, but it also rewards self-centeredness, consumerism, and the stripping down of morality. As is the case in the West, capitalist culture fosters an internally conflicted and self-centered personality in post-communist societies.

Imagine yourself being in a concert, your adrenaline is pumping and your energy is through the roof; you feel like you can do anything, achieve anything that your heart desires.
Well, meet the guys at Incitement, Led by Zikry Kholil and Daniel de Gruijter, Incitement wants to recreate a concert experience when you attend their events. But they also want to take this to a whole other level, they want to channel your energy and passion into a meaningful social project that you can be proud of.
Sadly, Daniel was overseas at the time of the interview, and i only get to interview one of the amazing duo, Zikry. The interview has made me a superfan of Incitement and their cause. Do you know that in a short span of three years Incitement has expanded to over 45 countries? And to think that Zikry actually called himself an 'accidental entrepreneur'. They never planned for Incitement to be a money-making company in the first place! They just wanted to create a movement in which youths could contribute significantly to society. This goes to show that business does not always have to be cutthroat, it can also have a greater social purpose. However like a skillful entrepreneur, Zikry leveraged on his social network and was able to attract top multi-national companies to contribute and make a difference in their society by connecting them with the appropriate non-government organizations.
I could feel a positive aura radiating from Zikry as he waxed lyrical about the work he is doing with Incitement. It was clear to me why Incitement could expand in such a short period of time! Zikry only surrounded himself with positive people who shared his vision. Success can definitely only come when you cut ties with the Debbie Downer in your group. So, empower yourself with the right people and see not only your spirit but business soar!

Can gamma ray bursts be used as standard candles?
by Anson Lam | Jul 14, 2014 | Daily Paper Summaries | 0 comments
Title: Gamma-ray burst supernovae as standardizable candles
Authors: Z. Cano
First Author's institution: Centre for Astrophysics and Cosmology, Science Institute, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most energetic and explosive events in the Universe. Although the exact mechanism underlying a GRB is still uncertain, it has been proposed that these explosions are the result of a black hole forming in the midst of a collapsing star, and the resulting outflowing jets producing gamma rays through collisions with intervening stellar material. Many GRB events are also observed to occur with a companion supernova (also known as a hypernova). These GRB-SNe pairs hint that there may be a common physical mechanism powering these types of events.
Objects such as Type Ia supernovae have traditionally served as standard candles for distance measurements due to their relatively predictable luminosities. Given their extraordinarily large luminosities, abundance, and cosmological distances, GRBs might also seem to be good standard candles. However, the irregularity of GRB light curves have excluded these objects from being used as standard candles in the past. In contrast, the light curves of Type Ia supernova are remarkably consistent, and there are well constrained relations between these light curves and the intrinsic luminosity of the explosion.
This paper looks at eight different GRB-SNe events. To examine the consistancy of these light curves across these GRBs, the author calculates a luminosity parameter (denoted k) and a width/shape parameter (denoted s) of these GRB-SNe light curves relative to a template SNe light curve (SN 1998bw). This is done after correcting for extinction along the line of sight and subtracting the emission from the host galaxy. By doing a best fit and performing a correlation analysis between k and s, the paper finds that there is a statistically significant correlation between the two (Fig. 1). The author also examines an additional GRB without a supernova counterpart, and finds that this event has k and s parameters that also fit into the correlation. However, given that this is just a single data point, it is difficult to draw any conclusions about the applicability of this correlation towards GRBs without corresponding SNe.
Fig. 1: A correlation between the luminosity (k) and stretch (s) factors of the GRB-SNe pairs examined in this paper. The colors indicate data taken in different color filters, and the dashed line indicates the uncertainty of the best-fit line. The histograms on the bottom show the distribution of the best-fit parameters from a Monte Carlo simulation.
The author suggests that there may be a physical explanation behind this correlation. Since the gamma rays in a GRB are produced in beamed, relativistic jets, we are viewing these GRB-SNe pairs from the same orientation (i.e. along the jets). Hence, the correlation between luminosity and light curve shape might arise from the fact that the ejecta geometry is similar across objects. This correlation could also suggest some sort of connection between the luminosity of the explosion and nucleosynthesis mechanisms: since the light curves of GRB-SNe events are additionally powered by the radioactive decay of 56-Ni decaying into 56-Fe (which also has some consistency across different events), the similarities in the physics between Type Ia SNe and these GRB-SNe pairs could indicate why the latter might be useful as standard candles.
In summary, this correlation between the brightness and shape of a GRB light curve suggests that there is some promise for GRBs to be used as standard candles. However, given the small sample size used in this study, it is difficult to make generalizations about the applicability of this method. To test this idea further, more observations of GRB-SNe pairs are needed in the future.

Here! Now! In the moment! Paddling in the middle of a fast moving stream of news and information. Here & Now is a daily news magazine, bringing you the news that breaks after "Morning Edition" and before "All Things Considered."
Seven questions for City Commissioner Al Schmidt about his voting-irregularities report
NewsWorks sat down with Al Schmidt, the Republican City Commissioner and East Falls resident, last week to discuss his controversial "Voting Irregularities in Philadelphia County, 2012 Primary Election" report (PDF).
At the Trolley Car Café just off of Kelly Drive, Schmidt described a process which, starting shortly after he was sworn in, expressly did not seek to find citywide figures of voter-fraud occurrences. Rather, he said, the aim was to find ways in which voter fraud could be committed.
Here is a Q&A from that Friday afternoon interview:
NewsWorks: It seems as if your report is being used by both sides of a divisive issue to validate their beliefs, and that has resulted in criticisms being leveled at you and your motives. Why do you think that is?
Al Schmidt: It's a highly charged political debate right now. Some want to see the report as proof that there are hundreds of thousands of cases out there; others are saying it's proof that there are no fraudulent votes. But, everybody wants to answer the question: How much of this is there? The report says, at the very beginning, that it was not our intention to find that number. The report, by design, was largely anecdotal. We were looking at examples of how voter fraud occurs and came up with a list of seven.
NW: You and [current Commission Chairwoman] Stephanie Singer both ran for this office with a message of bringing transparency to the election process in Philadelphia. Yet, she has been rather critical of you and the report. How come?
AS: She's questioned my integrity, and called the press conference I held to release the report a "stunt."
Months ago, there was a common interest in finding out if voter fraud was occurring. At the press conference, I was asked 'Why didn't Singer sign off on it?' I didn't call it a stunt when she held a press conference about the hurdles voters born in Puerto Rico face with the voter ID law, and I'm sure nobody asked her if I'd signed off on her press conference.
It's a highly political time. Before we released this, let me draw a comparison, I knew it was like having broken a leg and when they go to re-set it, you know it's going to hurt, but it still hurts when they do it. They have to re-set it, though. Well, I knew there was going to be controversy.
The response to the report has not surprised me. The misunderstanding of what the report actually says has.
NW: Do you think the reaction would have been different if you waited until after Election Day to release the report?
AS: Absolutely. Everybody would have returned to their senses at that point. It probably wouldn't get this level of attention.
But then, what if I knew that there were 10 instances of voter fraud, and an election – any one of them, lower-ballot races are more likely affected in this way than a Presidential or U.S. Senate race – was decided by fewer votes. Could you imagine the [backlash]? Why didn't you tell anybody? It would be professionally unconscionable if I didn't release the findings as soon as I had them.
NW: (Submitted via Twitter by reader Elliott Griffin (@elleimani) How will the problems outlined in [the] report actually be addressed by the new voter ID law?
AS: The voter ID law affects the voter-impersonation findings most directly. It's a matter of identity theft. We don't have a list of non-registered [Philadelphians] in our database.
NW: What is your stance on the voter ID law?
AS: Our job is to implement the election law, whether it holds that a voter has to show proof that they are who they say they are, or if it holds that anybody can vote regardless. I wasn't elected into this office to have opinions on the laws themselves.
NW: Do you think this report will have an impact on future elections?
AS: That's certainly the hope, to bring about change, to deter [fraud] from happening.
NW: What would it take for Philadelphia to have a "clean" election?
AS: Working with [the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services] would help us solve instances of voting by non-U.S. citizens. There are already plenty of laws on the books addressing voter fraud. You don't need a new law to say you can't vote twice. There are few prosecutions because it's very, very difficult to prove, and nobody looked before. You don't know how often it goes on if you don't look.

The Clothesline Swing
Salma the Syrian Chef
Ahmad Danny Ramadan was among the authors in the Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care.
The Remedy invites writers and readers to imagine what we need to create healthy, resilient, and thriving LGBTQ communities. This anthology is a diverse collection of real-life stories from queer and trans people on their own health-care experiences and challenges, from gay men living with HIV who remember the systemic resistance to their health-care needs, to a lesbian couple dealing with the experience of cancer, to young trans people who struggle to find health-care providers who treat them with dignity and respect. The book also includes essays by health-care providers, activists, and leaders, with something to say about the challenges, politics, and opportunities surrounding LGBTQ health issues.
1000 Lashes: Because I Say What I think
Ahmad Danny Ramadan translated the work of Rafi Badawi, a Saudi blogger punished for his secular thoughts in a conservative society.
Raif Badawi, a Saudi Arabian blogger, shared his thoughts on politics, religion, and liberalism online. He was sentenced to 1,000 lashes, ten years in prison, and a fine of around $315,000. This politically topical polemic gathers together Badawi's pivotal texts. He expresses his opinions on life in an autocratic-Islamic state under the Sharia and his perception of freedom of expression, human and civil rights, tolerance and the necessary separation of state and religion.

This project is the first where a solution, in this case, both solutions, achieved the Gold level of security assurance. All devices aiming for a Gold level under Riscure's evaluation program undergo strict tests for hardware and software security.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 14th September 2018 – Riscure and HiSilicon announce the successful completion of the first project under Riscure Assurance for Premium Content – a security evaluation program specifically designed to improve the security of devices and software utilized in a secure media path. The project focused on a range of software & hardware components of the HiSilicon's Hi3798MV200 and Hi3796MV200 devices and SDK. Riscure's team of security experts evaluated the hardware and software aspects of the solutions and graded them according to pre-defined criteria.
This project is the first where a solution, in this case, both solutions, achieved the Gold level of security assurance. All devices aiming for a Gold level under Riscure's evaluation program undergo strict tests for hardware and software security. They are tested against a wide variety of side channel and fault injection attacks, and a significant part of their software code is reviewed for potential weaknesses. The resulting verdict offers a vendor, their customers, and partners, as well as the industry much-needed security confidence.
Marc Witteman, CEO of Riscure, commented: "We are happy that vendors from different industries start to recognize the need to embed a secure mindset during all stages of product development. Riscure Assurance is a fresh approach to achieve this goal: instead of simple vulnerability hunting, we offer developers a strategic security improvement path from the early stages of design and all the way up to certification and product maintenance. Riscure Assurance for Premium Content is based on years of experience working with the Pay TV industry and offers our customers unique security insights on their solutions".
John Liu, GM of HiSilicon's STB Product Line, commented: "We are very proud that not one, but both of our latest generation UHD/4K solutions achieved the highest Riscure Assurance Gold level. During the evaluation, Riscure's team was extremely helpful offering advice and security knowledge often beyond the scope of the project. We are looking forward to testing additional products against Riscure Assurance requirements, as it helps us deliver secure solutions and simplifies the process of certification".
Riscure Assurance for Premium Content is a security evaluation program designed by Riscure that takes into account the unique requirements of the Premium Content industry. The program offers a solid improvement path by grouping security requirements and evaluation routines into several groups. It is designed to be implemented during any stage of product development. The security levels are also matched with the requirements of certification schemes. It is built to evaluate individual components as well as complete systems.

Q: Natural sorting of 3-4 characters in Rails I have an unsorted list of area postcodes as follows:
["E1", "E1C", "E1D", "E10", "E11", "E12", "E2", "E3", "E4", "EC1", "EC1A", "EC1M", "EC1N",
"EC1R", "EC1V", "EC1Y", "EC2", "EC2A", "EC2M", "EC2N", "N1", "N10", "N11", "N12",
"N13", "N2", "NW1", "NW10", "NW2" etc]

I'd like to sort them as follows:
["E1", "E1C", "E1D", "E2", "E3", "E4", "E10", "E11", "E12", "EC1", "EC1A", "EC1M", "EC1N",
"EC1R", "EC1V", "EC1Y", "EC2", "EC2A", "EC2M", "EC2N", "N1", "N2", "N10", "N11", "N12",
"N13", "NW1", "NW2, "NW10" etc]

So to sum up the order of the formats for postcodes beginning with E would be:

*

*E1

*E1C

*E11

*EC1

*EC1V

Same order for postcodes beginning with N, etc.
What would be the recommended way of sorting such strings? In this case the format of the string is always known, i.e. it will always be 2-4 alphanumberic characters, the first always being a letter.
Should I order the strings by length first and then order within each length group, or is there a more elegant method?

A: I'd use
array.sort_by do |str|
  /\A(\w)(\d+)\Z/ === str
  [$1, $2.to_i]
end

or, if you have arbitrary sequences of alternating letters and digits,
array.sort_by do |str|
  /\A(\D*)(\d*)(\D*)(\d*)\Z/.match(str)[1..-1].reject(&:blank?).collect do |item|
    /\d/ === item ? item.to_i : item
  end
end

A: Kind of a weird way of doing it, but I think this should work:
array.sort do |a, b|
  a = a.dup
  b = b.dup

  regex = /(\d+)/
  a.match(regex)
  a_num = $1.to_i
  b.match(regex)
  b_num = $1.to_i

  if a_num > b_num
    a.gsub!(regex, "1")
    b.gsub!(regex, "0")
  elsif a_num < b_num
    a.gsub!(regex, "0")
    b.gsub!(regex, "1")
  end

  a <=> b
end


On Saturday at Neiman Marcus, Lisa Lingis (our regional Le Métier de Beauté representative) gave us an up close and personal look at Le Métier de Beauté's new skin care, billed as "the most scientifically advanced and efficacious technology delivering the most innovative anti-aging moisturizing and hydrating ingredients 24 times deeper into the skin." Using the company's patented Syntoc Actif Delivery System, originally used in the Peau Vierge Anti-Aging Treatment Fluid everyone loves, LMdB set out to create specifically targeted ingredient complexes to address the most visible anti-aging issues, including wrinkles, elasticity, moisture, and hydration.
After years of research, LMdB's chemists developed three uniquely formulated complexes to address the problems that come with aging.
LMdB's exclusive and patented Syntoc Actif Delivery System, which carries the ingredients through the dermis, is the most effective delivery system available without a prescription today. Because the ingredients are delivered 24 times deeper into the skin through this unique delivery system, the products are safer and more effective than "comparable products on the market today."
There are six uniquely formulated products in the Peau Vierge Treatment Collection. All of them use the Syntoc Actif Delivery System.
Rejuvenating Anti-Aging Night Crème with Syntoc Actif + Power4 Anti-Aging Complexe ($350) is one of the products I've had the privilege to try. I was given a tiny sample jar at Neiman Marcus. The emollient and potent night treatment effectively repairs, rebuilds, and transforms the skin while the body is most receptive - at rest. The Syntoc Actif + Power4 Anti-Aging Complexe has these featured ingredients.
Retinol (0.5%) is the #1 anti-aging powerhouse, known to smooth and plump wrinkles, stimulate collagen rejuvenation, and restore the skin's elasticity.
Coenzyme Q10 (0.1%) reduces the depth of wrinkles and protects against photo-aging.
L-Carnosine (1%) prevents and reverses the signs of aging by preventing keratin degradation, which causes rough, dry skin.
SNAP 8 (0.0025%) is an anti-aging "power peptide" that reduces the depth of wrinkles caused by expression muscles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes - like a topical Botox.
The Night Crème is potent and should only be used 2-3 times/week, alternating or in conjunction with the Replenishing Daily Solution. I am extremely sensitive to retinol, so I fully expected to burn then peel after trying the Night Crème - the things I do to test beauty products! Many years ago, my dermatologist, who had worked with me as I tried every new retinol product on the market, hoping for one to which I might become tolerant, finally told me to give up. He said my skin couldn't withstand any concentration of retinol. Even years later, I've found that cosmetic products from well-regarded companies will burn my skin if they contain retinol or any vitamin A derivative.
LMdB's new Night Crème was a miracle. I had no adverse side effects - none! I've used it for two weeks, once every three days, and my skin looks great. There really is something to the delivery system, which carries the retinol beneath the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin) deep into the dermis to provide the following benefits: repair and reverse the signs of aging, erase fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pore size, reduce redness through anti-inflammatory properties, and encourage natural skin repair. It's clear to me that LMdB's delivery system is carrying the retinol past my own layers of sensitivity.
Revitalizing Anti-Aging Day Crème with Syntoc Actif + Power4 Anti-Aging Complexe ($285) is a potent, proprietary blend of functional anti-aging actives. Harnessing the power of Syntoc Actif, this lightweight emulsion absorbs quickly, dramatically slows the formation of expression lines, and reverses sun damage while replenishing hydration, repairing and improving texture, firming sagging skin, and rejuvenating overall tone and texture. It also contains SNAP 8 (0.005%), retinol (0.05%), coenzyne Q10 (0.05%), and l-carnosine (0.1%) - the same magnificent ingredients in the Night Crème, but at lower concentrations. I had the privilege of trying the Day Crème for a few days. I liked it!
Replenishing Daily Solution with Syntoc Actif + Moisture Rich Complexe ($225) is a lightweight, emollient, SPF 30 formula that conditions and moisturizes while it nourishes, detoxifies the dermis, and helps replenish the lipid barrier, normalizing skin moisture to provide suppleness. It has the same effective delivery system, but offers these natural moisturizing and protective ingredients.
The Replenishing Daily Solution can be used once or twice a day - ideally before your Day Crème or Night Crème.
Revive Eye Concentrate with with Syntoc Actif + HydrationPlus Complexe ($175) is an innovative eye treatment that repairs and plumps the delicate skin around the eyes. Using the same exclusive Syntoc Actif delivery system, it offers these ingredients.
I can't wait to get my hands on it! I have found eye creams with peptides to be enormously effective, and I'm a proponent of anti-glycation products. The Eye Concentrate should be used once or twice a day. I'll be using it twice.
There's a cleanser, Daily Renew Cleanser with VitaC Complexe ($50), that is formulated with rounded (non-damaging) scrub grains to remove deeply set impurities in one step. Daily Renew Cleanser promises to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin and remove makeup easily, renewing the skin for a radiant glow.
Daily Refresh Toner with Rebalancing Complexe ($50) is designed to restore, rebalance, and recondition the skin, leaving it soft, smoothed, and perfectly prepared for the healing treatments that follow. The hydrating ingredients should give you a youthful look.
Hemolymph Extract is a conditioning agent that LMdB says pulls oxygen into the skin from the environment.
Peppermint, Cinnamon, Thyme, and Geranium Oils mildly stimulate with a gentle warming effect.
Cypress Oil mildly stimulates and cleanses.
Anise Oil is used for its cleansing and warming effect on the skin.
Vitamins E, A, and B condition and protect the skin.
I've got to smell this one. I have fragrance aversions to cinnamon and anise, so I'll need to try before I can jump onboard.
There you have the basics. I am extremely excited about this launch. I have much more to tell you, but it will have to wait for another day. Le Métier de Beauté's new skin care will be available at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman this month.
Oy. thanks, Charlestongirl. Will this line be available at other stores?
I meant the skincare line!
It should be available at NM next week. I thought BG would have it today, but it may also be next week for them.
Don't go today, Ava. It isn't likely it will be available there.
Clarisse, it is a matter of some debate about cosmetic products carrying products into the dermis. However, we all know that some of the best ones do.
I quiz every skin care company about it, and the best answer I ever got was from iS Clinical. They said that their products are not picked up into the blood stream, and that's what makes the difference between their cosmeceuticals and regulated drugs.
Most companies just tell me something like, "We work with the FDA."
I was told only Bergdorfs and Neimans will have the skin care. Not nordstroms. Great piece I was unsure when I heard about it now Im sold. Thank you! Who should I order from?
I will always recommend my friend, Kathy Shoreman at Neiman Marcus. She takes amazing care of BTiB readers.
Oh and, Betty, she said I could put her cell phone number up in case you can't reach Kathy at that number.
Ava, Betty is correct. Only at NM and BG. Call Kathy.
Charleston girl - I especially enjoy your skin care reviews. Can you tell us your current regiment? Also, how do you incorporate your "standards" when testing out something new? Thanks!
I have some constants in my routine, which I cannot be without, and I am always testing new things. I'd be glad to share my criteria, but they differ from product type to type.
IS did not accurately explain the difference between a cosmeceutical and a drug. In fact, their explanation is misleading. Surely they know that, legally speaking, there is actually no such thing as a cosmeceutical. That term was coined by Dr. Kligman in the 1980's when he discovered that topically applied retinoic acid could be used as an anti-wrinkle treatment (cosmetic) as well as an acne treatment (medical).
According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), drugs are those products that cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease or that affect the structure or function of the human body. While drugs are subject to an intensive review and approval process by the FDA, cosmetics are not. Furthermore, according to the FDA, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act does not recognize any such category as "cosmeceuticals." A product can be a drug, a cosmetic, or a combination of both (as in fluoride toothpaste), but the term "cosmeceutical" has no meaning under the law.
There are some excellent articles to be found on-line that simply--and accurately--explain the difference between cosmetics, drugs, and what we commonly refer to as cosmeceuticals.
Excuse this rant, but I am insulted beyond belief by the way in which we are regarded by some cosmetic companies. Do they really think we are that stupid? Obviously they do!
You've got to admit the iS Clinical guy tried. Many companies give me really lame answers. I make it clear when I ask the question that I understand the limits of the FDA's authority. So, they don't need to start with the authorities the FDA DOES have (labeling, branding claims, and the like). As many know by now, the FDA recently clamped down on sunscreens and their broad-spectrum claims, which reminds me, I promised to share AVEENO's response on sunscreen labeling. I got it.
Because Congress would rather have political brawls than deal with governance, consumers are left to fend for themselves in determining the effectiveness of what I prefer to call cosmeceuticals...because they are more effective than, say, Ponds Cold Cream, still a popular favorite, and they make claims that make them sound like drugs for the skin.
There are, as you know, many who have argued that today's skin care technology deserves a second look. Is it so good that consumers deserve a pre-market approval process? We won't know because the FDA can only approve a limited number of substance types. Of the 11% they have studied, only nine ingredients have been deemed unsafe. What about effectiveness, though? Drug companies must demonstrate, often in ridiculous detail, that their products work as intended. Cosmetics companies don't have to do that.
I am not suggesting that LMdB or any of my favorite companies are making unsafe products, or that their claims are inaccurate. Many fine companies have discussed their testing processes with me, and they actually sought FDA concurrence. Even fine companies have run afoul of the sunscreen regs.
I continue to believe that the claims made by some, not all, companies for the effectiveness of skin care are hard for consumers to evaluate. How, for example, does one product work more effectively than another in delivering its ingredients to the cells that are chemically affected to the extent that aging's effects are reversed or stalled? When does that mechanism of action make a product cross over from cosmetic to drug? Will the FDA ever take a look at anti-aging products and determine if the labeling is accurate?
In the meantime, consumers should look to the research behind skin care (if they care) and determine for themselves whether it's likely to be accurate. We know that LMdB's claims for retinol are true. It's been studied extensively. I can tell you now that I've tried it that it was the first retinol product I have ever used that didn't burn my skin. Pretty cool!
Shiseido makes wonderful products. I don't think they get the love they deserve here in the U.S.
I will write that feature about my skin care, but it must wait for the gorgeous new makeup. We're being treated with a feast of beautiful colors right now.
Le mettiers delivery system is the real deal. It was developed by an australian biotech (who name the delivery mechanism tpm, total penetration matrix).
If you were in any doubt that this delivers actives through the dermis I would like to point out that the technology has actually been developed with the aim of delivering drugs and large molecules through the skin. This company is currently developing commercial applications that use tpm to deliver ophoids, insulin and other large molecules directly to where they are needed via a patch system.
Thanks for contributing that information! I did know the technology was used by drug manufacturers, but I was not previously aware (before I met LMdB PV) that it was being used by cosmetic companies. Much appreciated!
Yes the original company produces skin care products in Australia however the products developed in conjunction with LMDB are more top shelf, super-charged products. These LMDB anti-aging products will knock you off your feet, and the problem you may have is actually getting your hands on them.
The architects of the delivery system, licensed exclusively by LMdB in the U.S. and Europe, are a biotech company in Australia.
The LMdB skin care launches Monday, and savvy shoppers will have no trouble getting your hands on the items. Just call your fave Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman and pre-order now, my friends!
I talked to Dustin Lujan at BG yesterday. He will take good care of you. So will Kathy Shoreman at NM Tysons. If you want to call her, I have her cell number memorized. It's 571-212-8399.
One more thing...LMdB has its own research and development team. The Australian company developed the delivery system only. LMdB developed these products carefully, selecting the ingredients to offer advanced anti-aging effectiveness.
I was told an interesting story about one of the chemists who discovered one of the mixes in developing a skin care remedy for a family member who had several skin care problems. Was fascinating!
Pre-order will be the way to go.
I do think this will move very quickly off the shelves.
Also you are quite correct about the development of the products.
The team at LMdb themselves have taken anti-aging products to a new level with the help of the new revolutionary delivery system, which by the way is not in any other cosmetic product on the market in the USA.
Can't wait to hear the feedback from your followers.
Fantastic. I was fascinated to read about your retinol problem and your reaction to the night cream. This really does suggest that their vehicle system is working beautifully. The Syntoc system was something that fascinated me about PV and having had success with it, I'm even more intrigued by the skincare line. I really look forward to hearing what you think to the eye cream.
Nelson at Bergdorf's is fantastic. He's a perfectionist in the best possible way. Gave me a great makeover with the Silk Road kaleidoscope - I got looks all the way home.
Have you done part 2 yet? I can't wait to here how you are liking the products now. Thanks!!

Premier Skills Phase 3 training in Kerala
The third phase of the hugely successful Premier Skills initiative, run by the Premier League and the British Council will take place from 2 to 7 February 2016 in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala at Lakshmibai National College of Physical Education (LNCPE).
Intensive training will be provided by Premier League coaches from the UK for 24 grassroots football coaches selected from across India. This will be led by head coach Jeremy Weeks and Paul Hughes.
Premier Skills uses football to develop a brighter future for young people around the world, drawing upon the global appeal of the Premier League and its expertise in delivering community programmes in the UK, alongside the British Council's global network and track record of delivery.
Through Premier Skills, young people, often including the most vulnerable in society, are given opportunities to become better integrated into their local communities, to develop their skills for employability and to raise their self-esteem.
The course in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala is being jointly organised by the British Council, Premier League and Sports Authority of India, All India Football Federation (AIFF), The Indian Football Association (west Bengal), Kerala Football Association (KFA) and Goa Football Association (GFA).
Throughout the week the grassroots trainees will receive expert training from qualified Premier Skills coaches, giving them the skills and support to develop their own community football projects. The Community Coaching education programme kick started in November 2014. After going through two phases of rigorous training and implementing the same in their communities, the final list of participants who are eligible to be potential Coach Educators are now going to undergo through another rigorous training process to be finally deemed as a Coach Educator.
The Phase 3 training will be delivered in 3 stages as below:
Stage 1: A five-day training where the participants will better understand the tutor skills needed to run adult coach training. This is from 2 – 7 February 2016.
Stage 2: The potential Coach Educators/participants will be given minimum 2 months for them to work on their session plans in their respective communities.
Stage 3: A five-day training will be held for potential Coach Educators to run sessions for the new coaches. They will be observed and assessed by Premier League trainers. This is from 3 – 7 May 2016. Based on their performance and assessment they will be awarded.
Since Premier Skills began in 2007, 6,300 coaches and referees have been trained in 29 countries, who in turn have reached nearly one million young people.
In addition to coaching, a range of free materials, including a dedicated website, have been created under Premier Skills for teachers and learners of English that utilise exciting Premier League content and the British Council's world-class expertise in English.
Premier League Executive Chairman, Richard Scudamore, said: "I am thrilled that Premier Skills will return to India this week for Phase 3 of the project. It is a testament to the hard work of the local coaches that they have reached this level of training. Given the increasing interest in football in India, we are proud to support the country's growing enthusiasm for the sport through Premier Skills by providing more highly trained coaches and referees to pass on their expertise."
Mei-kwei Barker, Director, British Council South India said: "We are pleased to start Phase 3 training programme, of our very successful partnership project with the Premier League in South India. We are now at a crucial milestone of the project where 24 grassroots football coaches from across India will go through the final training to be selected as Coach Educators. We look forward to the impact this new generation of football coaches will bring to their communities across the country."
Premier Skills is a partnership between the Premier League and the British Council which uses football as a tool to develop a brighter future for young people around the world.
It draws upon the Premier League's global appeal and expertise in delivering community programmes in the UK, alongside the British Council's global network, track record of delivery and world class expertise in English.
Premier Skills is a proven model, influencing institutional approaches to social action through football as well as providing direct training to coaches and referees.
Since Premier Skills began in 2007, 6,300 coaches and referees have been trained in 29* countries, who in turn have reached nearly one million young people.
6,000 teachers have received training in the use of the Premier Skills English materials, with 3.5 million views of the materials online.

Bank for International Settlements förkortas BIS är ett samarbetsorgan för 60 (2012) centralbanker, däribland Sveriges riksbank. Organisationen grundades 1930 av centralbankerna i Belgien, Frankrike, Storbritannien, Italien och Tyskland samt av två privata bankkonsortier från Japan och USA för att hantera Tysklands betalning av krigsskadeståndet efter första världskriget enligt Versaillesfredens och Youngplanens villkor. BIS har 1930-2003 använt guldfranc som valuta vid internationella avtal. Idag fungerar BIS som "centralbankernas centralbank". I Europa har BIS arbetat för upprättandet av en europeisk centralbank med BIS som en supranationell organisation på nivån ovanför denna bank.

Säte
Bankens huvudkontor är i Basel. Den är representerad i Hongkong och Mexico City.

Kritik
BIS har anklagats för att verksamheten är nära nog osynlig, trots att organisationen har stort inflytande över monetär politik och att organisationen inte är ansvarig inför, eller redovisningsskyldig till, någon demokratisk församling.

Banker bildade 1930


hospitality extended on all sides. Not for one moment did the thought cross the steward's horizon and trouble it, that this revival was due to Lucy's fortune. Nor was his daughter more concerned than he. Generous, self-sacrificing, devoted heart and soul to the family, she was ready to give everything without demanding a return, without grudging if it were lost.
It was other with Beavis. He knew exactly how matters stood. He knew the extent of the peril. He knew whose money paid for all these gaieties and stopped the mouths of the clamorous creditors. For himself he did not care, but for his sister he cared a great deal. A sense of uneasiness that he could not shake off oppressed his spirits. He looked on at the festivities; he partook of them with perception of their hollowness and without enjoying them.
On the evening of the ball he was present, standing in a recessed window, half screened by the blue silk curtains, looking on in a dreamy state—the cloud of apprehension hanging over him—conscious at the moment, however, only of irritation at the dance strains of Strauss, which seemed to his fastidious ear as music full of unclean double-entendre unsuitable for such a place and such company.
The ball-room, built by Frederick Augustus, Duke of Kingsbridge, was a noble hall, lighted by two cut-glass lustres of great size. It was painted in panels with pastoral subjects, divided by pilasters of white and gold. The ceiling was of plaster flower-work containing paintings; walls and ceiling were the work of French artists, brought eager for the purpose by the art- and splendour-loving Frederick Augustus.
The Duke appeared for a short while, but his delicate condition of health did not permit a long stay. He was surrounded on his appearance by a cluster of ladies, eager for a word and one of his charming speeches full of old-world courtesy and wit.
Beavis did not go to him. For a while, on his appearance, the music ceased, then the doors were flung open, and two Highland pipers entered, one an immense man with sandy hair. They strode up the ball-room to the Duke's chair, stood there a moment playing, then turned sharply and strode down the room still playing, made a second circuit, and disappeared. They were the pipers of a Highland regiment stationed at Exeter.

Essays on the Religio-Political History of Islam.
The history of Islam is not merely the history of its rulers. It is not merely the history of wars, of conquest and defeats. Islamic culture and society down the ages has also been fashioned through invaluable contributions from its lay faithful. Muslim scholars laid the foundation stone for the corpus of the modern world's knowledge. Muslim scientists made invaluable contributions to science. Muslim astronomers calculated the earth's dimensions to an astounding degree of accuracy—at a time when the rest of the world thought our planet was flat. And Muslim spiritualists attracted people from across the globe to their religion with their zeal, courage of conviction and clarity of thought.
This book attempts to throw light on these, the lesser known but equally invaluable contributions that have moulded the Islam of today. It chronicles the rise of the people of Islam and recounts their position at the zenith of human civilisation for over eight hundred years.
The author tells the history of Islam through succinct but vivid biographical sketches of innumerable Islamic jurists, astronomers, scientists, litterateurs and men of wisdom down ages from the seventh to the 15th century AD.
Dr Hasanuddin Ahmed was a member of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and served in various prominent positions with distinction. Dr. Ahmed is also a prolific writer of books such as A New Approach to the Study of the Quran and A Brief History of Islam. Many of his books have been translated in other Indian languages. He lives in Hyderabad, India.

Cops, crime, and court – October 3
by Jodelyn Recierdo | Oct 3, 2020 | Cops | 0 comments
From a massive quantity of cannabis intercepted in Darwin, to a police officer charged with rape, to a former Don Dale Youth Detention Centre officer jailed for drug peddling, and to an alleged abusive man charged for trafficking his wife and coercing her money. The NT Independent has published a number of cops, crimes, and court stories over the past week. Read them all here:
Raid finds 132kg of marijuana, $47,000 cash: police
NT Police have said they seized more than 130kg of marijuana, and close to $50,000 after identifying 'suspicious consignments' at an unnamed Darwin freight company and have charged three men with trafficking.
Drug and Organised Crime Division Detective Superintendent Kerry Hoskins said in a statement, they flagged several suspicious consignments from the freight company on September 15.
He said they raided two properties, one in Humpty Doo, and one in Berry Springs on September 15 and 16 and found 290 packages containing almost 132kg of marijuana and $47,000 cash.
Teen dealt with under Youth Justice Act for car theft
One of the alleged teenage car-nappers involved in a house break-in and theft of a ute in Alice Springs has been charged, and dealt with under the Youth Justice Act, NT Police have said.
In a statement NT Police media manager Rob Cross said that during early hours on Wednesday there was a report of an break-in of a house in Gillen where a Ford Ranger ute was been stolen.
Police found the ute, which was left abandoned at an unoccupied home, Mr Cross said.
Boaters rescued from croc-infested Adelaide River after emergency alert
Three Darwin men in distress in croc-infested waters after their boat's engine failed have been rescued following an EPIRB alert being activated, NT Water Police say.
The Rescue Coordination Centre in Canberra contacted the Northern Territory Police on Wednesday afternoon about an emergency beacon activation near the Adelaide River mouth to the east of Darwin, Sergeant Andrew Hocking said.
However, no other information has been made available because the vessel's Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) was unregistered.
Darwin cop charged with rape, suspended with pay
UPDATED: A 37-year-old Darwin police officer has been charged with rape and property offences.
The NT Police had earlier refused to say what charges he was facing, but the NT Independent revealed it was associated with allegations of sexual assault.
The officer appeared in Darwin local court this afternoon.
He has been suspended with pay.
The officer, who is heavily involved with the NT Police Association, was charged with one count of sexual intercourse without consent, possessing ammunition without a permit and unlawfully possessing property.
Former Don Dale worker jailed for drug syndicate role
A former Don Dale Youth Detention Centre youth justice officer has been jailed for more than a year after supplying drugs to an alleged syndicate kingpin and babysitting his business while he was on holidays.
In handing down his sentence in the NT's Supreme Court on Monday, Chief Justice Michael Grant said Joel Appo, a 33-year-old man from Bundaberg who pleaded guilty to supplying a commercial amount of cannabis, was arrested in Darwin earlier this year after he sold cannabis to an undercover police officer on three separate occasions between December 2019 and January 2020.
Man jailed for 'offensive, disgraceful and perverted' pictures of sleeping three-year-old daughter
A 42-year-old truck driver from Darwin has faced court after thousands of images of his three-year-old daughter, niece and other unidentified young girls in shopping centres in sexually explicit positions were found in his possession.
The man, whose name has been suppressed to protect the children involved, pleaded guilty to 28 charges relating to sexual intercourse with minors and the possession of child abuse material.
Described as "abhorrent" in the NT Supreme Court last week, Justice Graham Hiley detailed countless incidents whereby the man had photographed his daughter while in his care.
'I am certainly opposed': alcohol restrictions at East Point rejected
The Darwin Council has rejected a request from NT Police to restrict the consumption of alcohol at East Point, after the majority of councillors claimed the idea was "based on no data" and "unfair on residents".
Following reports of an increase in anti-social behaviour at one of Darwin's three specified 'alcohol exempted zones' NT Police called on the council to tighten restrictions and ban alcohol from 7pm.
The police crackdown would have seen the Territory's tight regulations on alcohol consumption, including a floor price on alcohol and a banned drinkers register, further restricted to only allow drinking at East Point for two hours on weekdays.
Four kids in ute tray on highway, infant unrestrained in cab: police
Four kids aged between seven and 10 were riding in the back of a ute on an NT highway, with an 18-month-old unrestrained in the front, alongside two teens and a driver who were not wearing seatbelts, NT Police have said.
Senior Sergeant Paul Faustmann say the 22-year-old driver was charged with one count of driving without a seatbelt, one count of driving an unregistered motor vehicle, and five counts of have unrestrained children.
He said about 1:30pm on Sunday police passed a Nissan Patrol ute driving from Timber Creek to Katherine on the Victoria Highway, and as they passed they saw the driver was not wearing a seatbelt.
Takeaway restrictions quietly extended once again in greater Darwin
People buying takeaway alcohol in greater Darwin will have to continue to prove they live or are staying in the area after the Director of Liquor Licensing extended emergency powers and said they will be extended again.
While once again the Director of Liquor Licensing Philip Timney's extension of the emergency powers did not seem to be publicly announced – the director choosing instead to provide carefully worded statements to a friendly media outlet – it was reported saying the restrictions on the sale of takeaway alcohol in the greater Darwin area had been extended until the close of business on Sunday.
It means customers must produce ID with a local address or show they have a residence or "legal place" they can drink the alcohol.
Darwin man charged with trafficking his wife, stealing her money
A Darwin man who was allegedly physically abusive to his wife, and used coercion and threats to garnish her wages, access bank accounts and gain money from her family, has appeared in Local Court for allegedly trafficking her in 2019, and stealing more than $60,000 from her and other relatives, the Australian Federal Police have said.
Northern Command Detective Superintendent Paula Hudson said officers from the AFP's Human Trafficking Operations began investigating the man in March after a tip from a member of the public in Darwin.
She said the AFP alleges the man was physically abusive to his 27-year-old wife and used coercion and threats to garnish her wages, access bank accounts and gain money from her family.
