We are T&H Associates Pty Ltd and also trade as A1 Appliance Repair. For the purposes of the contract we are the service provider, though work may on occasion be undertaken by others subcontracted by us, you are contracting with us when we provide you service. Our trading terms are strictly C.O.D. (by credit card, eftpos or cash) on completion of callout for the initial visit, and otherwise payment falls due for the whole amount on completion of the job, as is common practice in our industry. If not paid when falls due, our late fee of $20 may be added to the balance owing. When a part needs to be specially ordered, the customer may be asked to pay in advance the part price. For large jobs and other work from time-to-time, customer may be asked to sign acceptance of the written quote. We may in our absolute discretion decide that a deposit is payable by the customer before work is to commence. When we quote or would apply labour fees for the fitting of a replacement part subsequent to the callout, these are based on the part being supplied by us, and we may apply the callout fee again instead of labour fees for the return visit if the customer requests fitting of parts not supplied by us. Labour fees are currently $25 per 10 minutes or part thereof for part fitting on a second visit, and may apply if the time taken at the callout exceeds 30 minutes, for the duration that the callout exceeds 30 minutes. The customer will be informed of these. If upon our arrival the customer or a person authorised by them to allow us access to perform the callout, is not in attendance, the customer shall be liable nonetheless for a callout fee. Please contact us asap if you require a change of appointment time or you are running late. By accepting our commencement of callout or other work, the customer enters a contract to pay the quoted costs. When we supply goods and/or materials as part of the delivery of our service, the customer as bailee agrees that risk in the goods passes to them immediately upon delivery, but title is retained by the us until outstanding balances are paid in full. That is, we hold a lien on goods and materials supplied until we are paid in full. The customer, as bailee for the goods, further agrees that in an outstanding balance to allow us entry to retrieve goods and/or materials supplied in which we hold ownership if the account is overdue. Furthermore the customer is to be liable for our cost at labour fee rates if we need to attend to retrieve goods when the customer is in default, and those costs can be added to the total balance owing. We will inform the customer early if there is any additional cost anticipated so the customer can decide if they want to proceed with the work. If the customer requests we proceed and we do so, it is deemed that the customer has authorised the work. When a customer fails to pay within 7 days of being due, accounts in default will be referred to a collection service with our late fee if applied by us, and all collection and legal fees, to be owed by the customer. If the customer is a company, it agrees that a Directors Personal Guarantee applies on any debt to us. When a customer is more than 60 days in default, details of the debt may be provided by us or our agent to a credit reporting agency for listing in the customer's credit file. All invoices are E&OE.

Here we’ll show you how to successfully remove, adjust and replace cleats and make it easier next time round.
When they aren’t left rusting in the confines of the garage or the shed, your pedal cleats have a hard life. They’re stamped upon, constantly clipped in and out of, ground upon rocks and treated with complete neglect.
If you’ve found that your pedals don’t have the same crisp feel of retention they once had, or that involuntary unclipping is becoming a regularity, sorting out your cleats is the answer.
Dodge that stuck-to-the-bike moment by fixing that loose cleat.
1. Always clean out compacted mud and stones from your cleat bolts before attempting removal.
3. Thoroughly clean all the threads (bolts and cleat nut) with alcohol so that the Loctite can work to full effect.
4. Apply blue Loctite 243 to the bolt threads and torque them up (Shimano recommend 5-6Nm). If your cleat has moved, use the imprint in the sole as a guide for positioning.
A problem most of us will face is removing the old ones. Due to the hostile environment your cleats have to deal with, now will be the time when you discover how well they were installed in the first place.
Properly installed cleats should pose no problem to remove, but if they were fitted some time ago, with little care, you may need to get nasty and attack your shoes with some power tools.
1. Clamp the offending shoe in a vice or a Workmate.
2. The first line of attack is the trusty Allen key.
3. If you can’t budge the bolt with an Allen key don’t risk rounding out the head. Soak the bolts in penetrating oil (Plus Gas) for a few minutes and try again.
4. If the bolt head does round out, you may be able to hammer a slightly oversized Torx key into the bolt and use this to undo it.
5. Last resort is a drill. Once the head of the bolt is removed the cleat should come free.
6. Most shoes come with two mounting positions, so if you’ve damaged one set try the other.
7. If the threads are unusable, you should be able to remove the cleat nut from inside the shoe. Shimano cleats are available with new cleat nuts.
8. When installing the new cleat, use the marks left by the old cleat as a guide in order to achieve your usual positioning.
9. Install the new bolts with Blue Loctite 242.
10. If Blue Loctite isn’t available, waterproof grease is a reasonable second choice.
11. Finally, stick a piece of gaffer tape inside the shoe, on top of the cleat nut, to prevent wind and water ingress.
It helps to remove any debris from inside the bolt head so the Allen key can be inserted fully.
Make sure you use a high quality drill bit, as cleat bolts can be made of stern stuff.

During the Fall 2018 semester, the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures (NELC) awarded the Hajj Abu Ismail Jallaq Scholarship to two outstanding Islamic Studies majors, Steven Turner and Larkin Cleland.
Thanks to the generous support of the Jallaq family, NELC administers this annual scholarship opportunity for NELC Islamic Studies Majors and NELC graduate students studying at OSU. The Hajj Abu Ismail Jallaq Scholarship Fund awarded $1500 to each of the two students on the basis of high academic merit and a demonstrated interest in specializing in the study of Islam at OSU.
Steven Turner is a double major in Islamic Studies and Arabic. His academic and research interest include the intellectual history of the Christian-Muslim dialogue and how that has influenced the development and formulation of Islamic theology and its impact on contemporary Christian-Muslim engagements. He also has a strong interest in ancient Near Eastern history and Semitic languages. For his future academic goals, Steven would like to obtain a doctorate in Islamic Studies with an emphasis on Islamic thought. After graduating from OSU at the end of the Fall 2018 semester, he will be beginning graduate school at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to study Christian and Islamic theology this spring.
Larkin Cleland is originally from Medina, Ohio and is currently a first-year Eminence Fellow studying Islamic Studies and Economics at Ohio State. He is from an interfaith Quaker and Jewish family, so he is particularly interested in religious minorities, in interfaith cooperation, and in relationships between Muslims and people of other faiths. This has led him to intern with the Temple of Understanding, a Non-Governmental Organization that provides an interfaith perspective at the United Nations, and has also led him to speak at the Parliament of the World’s Religions this past year. He enjoys learning languages, including Persian and soon Arabic at Ohio State, as well as travelling to practice those languages and learn about other peoples and cultures.

Last night I met with my sound engineer at the studio and made final revisions to the album. We then listened to every song in full, with his big impressive, glorious speakers, and I felt happy. Really happy. And I was dancing along (in my chair), because I personally think a few of my songs are damn catchy. There, I said it.
There are two things that we couldn’t change, but I honestly think I’m being over-picky and a perfectionist – these were “if this can be done, it’d be cool!” and I will be the only one to notice/miss it because, well, it’s my voice and my hands on the piano and my words coming out.
It still feels a bit unreal – I am someone who has listened to music almost constantly since my first day on this earth and I have been influenced by so many artists. I’ve always been fascinated by the art of putting an album together and listening to it as a whole but then appreciating songs in their individuality. I’m hoping some of my songs resonate with people, and if not, that they just love listening to them and singing along.
Recording is a fascinating and sometimes frustrating process. I’ve been a “session singer” since I was about 11, so I’m no stranger to a booth, but it is different when you are in charge, and it’s not someone else’s material or cover material.
Dave was with me on the first day, as was a photographer, Lisa, and I laid down piano and guide vocals for everything that day, in 5 hours. Sadly, by the time the next day rolled around to record with the band, the timings were just never going to be right. I had played to a click track, so that the other instruments could be layered over it, but that meant that everyone needed to keep to this rigid timing.
Rigid timing means that it sounds, well, rigid. Stiff. Unnatural.
So we went back to the beginning, and started again. Playing together as a band, like we had in rehearsals meant that it sounded more natural, the timings could move a little, and it had a really energetic feeling – momentum kept the flow going.
The drum kit took some time to sort. Andrea isn’t that familiar with electric kits, despite having one for the studio, and Keith was using this kit rather than his own, so needed to get used to it as well.
Recording on an electric kit is like recording on a midi keyboard; the drum kits are wired up to the PC, and ProTools matches each drum as you hit it to a specific sound in the software. So the kit itself needed to be physically adjusted, as well as adjusted on the software.
We eventually got it all sorted, and after a few hours we had at least 2 tracks laid down. Once the momentum was there, the rest went by pretty fast!
As my guitarist David is also my bassist, we recorded everything as piano/bass/drums/guide vocals first. I sang and played with the guys doing their bit as well. And then David whipped upstairs and did all of the guitar layers over the top in 50 minutes flat. He was late to meet his wife, and that meant a few pieces were rushed, but only one was cut in the end. So it came together!
It’s amazing to think that 7 songs were recorded so well in a single day. We are machines (and were very well-rehearsed!). 9 hours of recording is a tough day. That’s Keith (drums), Andrea (engineer), myself and David (drums/bass). I’m so thankful to them for all of their hard work.
The following weekend I headed up to the studio to record all of the vocals. We worked methodically through each song, recording the lead vocals, then listening to the take and re-recording if necessary, and then I’d head back up to lay down any backing vocals. I love backing vocals – I think they really add something to a song, but sometimes it’s hard to work out what works best where. I’m pretty pleased with what I have, though, especially on a song called Rise, which has layered backing vocals and has quite a “haunting” sort of feel to it. Other songs have “ah”s, echoes or harmonies.
The next few months all progress was over email – Andrea would send me mixes, I’d send back notes, and repeat. Last night’s revisions were minor, but I left feeling like I’d accomplished this enormous task. Well, mostly. I still have to pay him, get the mastering done, and get these photos taken – next week will be a flurry of activity. And I’m seriously over budget, but it’s being done right.
Soon you’ll have it if you’ve pre-ordered, or you’ll be able to order it! How fancy. I feel pretty special right now.

"The Deputy Secretary and National Assembly Speaker reaffirmed the ironclad alliance between the United States and the Republic of Korea and pledged to maintain close coordination to ensure the final, fully verified denuclearization of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea", Palladino said Monday.
Both parties also affirmed their commitment to strengthening trilateral cooperation with Japan, he noted.

Earlier in the day, South Korean media reported that Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha could hold a meeting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to discuss North Korea later this week on the sidelines of a US-sponsored ministerial event in Warsaw.
US President Donald Trump announced in his State of the Union address last week that he would meet again with North Korean leader Kin Jong-un in Vietnam on 27-28 February. US Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun and his North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok Chol held talks in Pyongyang on 6-8 February to prepare the ground for the second Trump-Kim summit.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula has improved over the past year after Seoul and Pyongyang concluded important agreements calling for peace and stability in the region, and Kim and Trump held a historic summit in Singapore in June 2018.
During the summit, the sides reached an agreement stipulating that North Korea would make efforts towards complete denuclearization in exchange for the United States and South Korea freezing their military exercise and potentially lifting US sanctions.
Pyongyang conducted its latest missile launch in November last year. In April 2018, Kim announced that the country would suspend its ICBM launches and missile tests ahead of the summits with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and US President Donald Trump.

Comprehensive, practical, lively and accessible, Working with Spoken Discourse is the much-loved benchmark for learning to do discourse analysis. It combines theory and practice to give students the grounding they need in practical techniques of analyzing talk and how to apply them to real data.
Exceptionally clear, and perfect for undergraduates starting a project, this is the essential guide to spoken discourse.
What Is Discourse and Why Analyze It?
Working with Spoken Discourse is an exemplary textbook. Making even the most complex ideas fully accessible, it is grounded in an extensive literature, filled with engaging examples, and offers ample suggestions for independent research. It’s been a key text in my classes for over a decade and, as fresh and relevant as ever, will continue to buttress my graduate seminars and undergraduate courses alike.
Studets are informed about the book via a reading list. Some of them may actually acquire it.
Personally it is a book I will recommend widely if asked for literature on the topic. Cameron has won me over: I will in future follow her name when conducting searches or looking for new publications.
This book offers comprehensive and clear guidance that will give those new to discursive appraoches to reserach a flavour of how to go about conducting such research. Particularly helpful is the detailed explanations of how to collect, transcribe and analyse different forms of discourse. I will be recomending to my PG students who re interested in this approach because it is easy to read and had useful examples.
Faculty of Education, Edge Hill Univ.
Ostensibly I acquired this text with the intention of adopting it for the Health and Social care Practice that I teach on. However I actually introduced it most effectively to the students of our Counselling Foundation degree. Working with spoken discourse is of course very logical for anyone who is involved in research of the subject of counselling, and this text seems to be a particularly user friendly introduction that takes the student beyond the basics to gently encourage quite complex use of some analytical concepts. In my opinion this will be an essential text for the FD Counselling from induction onwards, for some time to come.
This is an excellent resource which I recommend to my students on both my Research Methods and Analysing Spoken English course.
An excellent resource book. Easy to read, good explanations and examples provided.
Wide range of approaches to discourse presented.
Good for graduates as sublementary materials to enhance understanding on discourse.
It is also a lead-in book for graduates to come in the field.
Building up solid connection between oral and CDA practice.
An excellent overview of a complex subject area, filled with a variety of appropriate exercises and activities. The section on CDA could have been expanded somewhat, particularly a discussion of transitivity would have been appreciated.

JPS: The traditional, or perennial, philosophy of which you are a well-known proponent reserves a privileged place for the sacred scriptures of the religious traditions of the world. The majority of Western philosophy over the past few centuries has been in the process of segregating itself from these scriptures. How would you characterize the different approaches of Western philosophy and traditional philosophy to sacred scripture?
SHN: There’s a very profound distinction if by Western philosophy you mean modern Western philosophy. In the West, Christian and Jewish philosophy both in the middle ages and, to some extent, afterward still paid a great deal of attention to the scriptures, and Islamic philosophy has always paid attention to the scriptures. Not that it has just based itself on the scriptures, or it would be just theology and not philosophy, but it has paid a great deal of attention especially to the inner meaning of scripture. Some of the great Islamic philosophers like Mulla Sadra, and before him Ibn Sina (Avicenna), had written commentaries upon the Qur'an. And we have parallels in the west: St. Thomas Aquinas, and many Jewish thinkers and philosophers as well.
Now modern philosophy, beginning with Descartes, is characterized by practically a total disregard for scripture as a source of philosophical knowledge. Although there are people here and there.
who pay some attention to this, by and large, European philosophy in the modern period from Descartes on is not concerned with scripture. If it is, it would be only on the level of ethics but not metaphysics. Perennial philosophy, on the other hand, looks upon the scriptures as revelations from God and believes that in the inner dimension, the esoteric dimension, of scriptures is contained the perennial wisdom with which the perennial philosophy is concerned. So the heart, the inner aspect of the religions as revealed in scriptures contain that religion perennials, that eternal religion, or the Sophia pennies, the eternal wisdom, with which perennial philosophy is concerned. And therefore, perennial philosophy pays a great deal of attention to scripture, not only as a source of ethics but also as a source of metaphysics.
JPS: Y ou made a distinction between having scripture as a foundation, which would be more like theology, and paying attention to scripture within a philosophical context. How can philosophy pay attention to and incorporate scripture when most scriptures are not written in the philosophical language, often using narrative or metaphor to convey their meaning?
SHN: I think that can be clarified by having recourse to two very important truths which have been emphasized a great deal in perennial philosophy. First of all, the perennial philosophers believe that the instrument of revelation is none other than the intellect, understood metaphysically, which is also the element which illuminates our mind and provides us with knowledge. For example, in Arabic, the word ‛aql, which means the intellect—not only reason but also intellect in the medieval sense of the term—is also associated with the very instrument of revelation, the archangel Gabriel who brought the Qur’an to the Prophet. And also in Augustinian illuminationistic philosophy, knowledge is considered to be a kind of illumination by the angel, and revelation is also concerned with the coming into this world of a message through what one could call the angelic agency. Therefore, the first point is that the means whereby scripture is revealed and the means whereby one knows in a noetic and intellectual sense are the same.
Secondly, philosophers—that is, traditional philosophers, those who follow the perennial philosophy—they have looked upon scripture not simply on its literal level but on its symbolic level. So even something which is descriptive, let us say the Song of Solomon in the Old Testament, have been the source of very profound metaphysical commentaries and mystical commentaries, because the traditional philosophers have looked upon the text not only in its literal aspect but in its symbolic aspect. In Islam, we have many, many commentaries upon the Qur’an, by both Sufis and Islamic philosophers, in which even what appears to be a narrative of some sacred history is interpreted in a symbolic way to convey meanings which are transhistorical and metaphysical.
JPS: Recently many so-called postmodern philosophers from the continental tradition have been incorporating readings of scriptures and other religious texts in a way that is, in a sense, much more open than some of their modern predecessors. Do you think this might signal new possibilities for a dialogue with the traditional perspective?
SHN: I don’t think so. Of course, it depends on where postmodernism goes. Every few years, some new current comes, and by the time you study it some another new current comes. As far as studying scripture, yes, that would be an opening, but postmodernism by and large denies certitude in knowledge. It tries to deconstruct the world of meaning of traditional philosophies, and its understanding of the intellect, of our noetic faculties, of the way we know, are very different from what the perennial philosophy envisages. So although there is now some interest in the reading of scripture, how we read and what it means I think in the two cases are very different.
SHN: Well, they’re relativists; that is, ultimately they read sacred scripture, but they do not accept revelation in the real sense of the term—that there’s a divine reality, God, who can reveal knowledge to human beings, whether in the form of a book, or, in India, in the form of creatures, or whatever it is. Revelation as understood metaphysically, they do not accept that. So, what is important for them, as you say, is cultural determinance, which reduces things to a kind of relativism. This has been going on for a long time, and much of postmodern philosophy is the extreme denouement, unfolding, of that process. By that, I mean that, for a long time now in the West, philosophers who have been rationalists have tried to deny the certitudes of religion, and that’s why natural theology gradually became marginalized and Christians who tried to continue to accept a religion based themselves upon faith rather than upon reason. Now there’s a kind of revival within Catholic theology, and to some extent Protestant theology, to try to come back to the older position. Anyway, as far as philosophy is concerned, it began to relativize these matters, and in the nineteenth-century sociology and the positivism of Auguste Comte and these people tried to reduce all religious truth to consequences of a social situation—socially determined, culturally determined. That is, let’s say if Moses received the revelation on Mount Sinai that “thou shalt not kill,” that was now a revelation that was culturally determined by the conditions of the nomads on the Sinai peninsula or something like that, or the Jews in Egypt.
language; that is, scripture is revealed in a particular language for a particular humanity to understand. But by virtue of its inner levels of meaning, it has a meaning that transcends those conditions. For example, let me take the specific case of Christianity. Christ said in the famous Sermon on the Mount in Jerusalem some very exalted ethical teachings. Now, many Christians consider that to be valid, and to say, “Oh, that was determined by the social and cultural conditions of Jerusalem at that time, and they’re totally irrelevant to Washington, DC or Philadelphia in 2004.”... There are some people who say that, there’s no doubt about it, but those who remain Christians do not believe that the teachings of Christ are simply culturally determined by the Palestine of 2000 years ago. And philosophically speaking, as far as the perennial philosophy is concerned, there’s no way that these postmodern philosophers can prove that scripture is simply determined by cultural conditions. It’s just a matter of faith by them that scriptures are not revealed, as it is a matter of faith by people of faith that they are revealed.
JPS: As you mentioned—and I think this is one of the points of perennial philosophy that are most misunderstood by people thinking outside it—there is still an emphasis in the perennial philosophy on those differences despite the certainty of revelation.
SHN: Oh absolutely, the perennial philosophy emphasizes not only that there are differences of forms, but that the differences of forms are themselves significant—that Hinduism doesn’t look like Judaism on the level of forms—and what these forms mean. But what it refuses to do is to deny that there is such a thing as a reality beyond the temporal. Whereas most of these postmodern philosophers, that’s what they do. They don’t want to come out and say it, but they deny that there is any reality beyond the spatio-temporal sequence in which we live, and therefore everything is reduced to that flow in time.
JPS: Do you think that Islam and the history of Islamic philosophy lends itself and has leant itself more easily to the adoption of the traditional perspective than, say, Christianity in the West, which has become increasingly secularized throughout the modern period?
SHN: Yes, and the reason for that is that in the Islamic world what we would call gnosis, pure metaphysics, a spiritual path based on knowledge, the knowledge that saves and that is illuminative, continued to survive and was very strong until modern times. Whereas in the Christian West, these forms of sapiental knowledge and perspective and spirituality became to a large extent eclipsed at the end of the middle ages, and that gave rise to nominalism, first of all, while Christian philosophy was still alive, and then a rebelling against Christian philosophy in the Renaissance and especially in the seventeenth century with modern philosophy. These things did not occur in the Islamic world, not because Islamic philosophers were stupid and didn’t understand what these Western philosophers were doing, but because there was no need in a Cartesian way to overcome a doubt which had been created in the mind of Descartes precisely because of the loss of intellectual intuition. In the earlier period of Christian history, the trajectory of the life of Christian philosophy and Islamic philosophy were very similar, besides the fact that many Islamic texts were translated into Latin and influenced Western philosophy a great deal. Independently of the influence, Christian philosophy was following a path very similar in many ways—not identical because for example Christian philosophy accepted the incarnation and Islamic philosophy did not, but in many ways similar. But Islamic philosophy, rather than turning against illumination towards empiricism as it did in the West, in fact went the other way around and became more and more wed to the doctrines of illumination and knowledge that is illuminative and salvific, and therefore survived as a very important, you might say, protector of the perennial philosophy up to our own times.
JPS: Do you think that there is anything particular in the foundation of the Christian tradition—for instance the belief in the incarnation—that would have made it more susceptible to a modern, Cartesian turn, or do you think it is just a contingency of history?
SHN: It’s a very complicated matter, and there are several elements that made it possible for anti-religious forces to overcome Christian thought more easily than in any other part of the world, as far as other religions are concerned. First of all, Christianity was heir to a rabid rationalism in the ancient Mediterranean world and so came as a way of love to overcome this false rationalism. But soon, of course, it had developed its own ways of sapiens, its own philosophies, and it did so but was not able to neutralize completely the paganism of the ancient world. It did for some time, but then it [rationalism] raised its head in the Renaissance independently of Christianity and marginalized to a large extent Christian philosophy. Not so that it died completely, but it was marginalized to a large extent, and the mainstream of European philosophy became secularized. Nothing like that occurred in any of the other civilizations of the world, not only in the Islamic but also Hindu, Chinese, Japanese, etc. In those cases, it was the militarily powerful West, which became militarily powerful as a result of secularism, that dominated over those worlds militarily during the colonial period and brought secularism with it, which is quite a different process.
And there are many other elements in the structure of Christianity. For example, in Islam the esoteric dimension, associated with Sufism primarily, and the form of knowledge, of gnosis, of divine knowledge which is preserved therein, was always very clearly protected throughout the history of the tradition. Although here or there somebody may have attacked it, it remained very viable and vibrant. Whereas in Christianity, while we have the great mystical currents of the middle ages, some of which like that of St. Bonaventure and Dante are very sapiental and really are forms of perennial philosophy at the highest level, they were not protected by the Church at all, and, in fact, gradually they were put down. So in the modern period, you can ask the question, “What happened to Christian mysticism? Why were there no Meister Eckharts and St. Bonaventures in eighteenth century Germany or France? What happened?” Of course, secularism destroyed many things, but also the religion itself—the Church itself—was not the guardian of the esoteric currents. So after the middle ages, it became more and more a means of putting them down, so that some of them became marginalized, some of them became cults, some of them died out, and by and large access to the more inner dimension of Christianity became less and less available after the middle ages. All of these are elements that have to be considered, and it’s a very complex set of events that are contained in your question.
JPS: You’ve noted in your work three distinct attitudes in contemporary Islam, the so-called fundamentalist, the modern, and the traditional, and you observe that only the first two have become instantiated in socio-political institutions. So, what kind of political, ethical, and ecological consequences would a more concrete form of the traditional perspective have?
SHN: I do not know that the world is good enough for the traditional perspective to have direct political expression, only God knows, but it does have its influence in the other two worlds. The fact that there is no government in the Islamic world today that is neither fundamentalist nor modernist but traditional doesn’t mean that the influence of traditional Islam is not strong in other ways in those countries which are either fundamentalist or modern. This having been said, if there were to be a whole state structure, a whole social structure based on traditional Islamic teachings... First of all, there would be a lack of this extremism which characterizes certain parts of the Islamic world today, which we associate with fundamentalism, and this exclusivism. There would be a much more accommodating attitude towards other religions, as we see in traditional Islamic history—for example, the Ottoman Empire in Iran, in Egypt the Mamluk period, in Spain especially during Islamic rule, and so forth. Secondly, there would not be this rabid acceptance of Westernization and modernization. Some elements are unavoidable, I accept that today. But many things are avoidable, and those could be avoided and as much as possible traditional forms of arts, of crafts, of creation, of alternative technologies, could be used. And that itself would have a very profound effect upon the ecological questions. Today in the Islamic world every country, whether it’s modernist or fundamentalist, is trying to ape Western technology and industry, and therefore with it all of the ecological consequences that this modernist tradition has brought upon us throughout the world. It [traditionalism] would be a much more sane way of dealing with the world of nature.
Now, whether other countries in the world, I mean outside the Islamic world, would allow such a thing to survive is another question. That’s a question for another day and not for me to discuss. But, if there were to be, let’s say, a country which would be ruled completely on the basis of traditional Islamic teachings, there would be these differences: the attitude towards other religions, the attitude towards other minorities, the question of the revival of Islamic art, of Islamic traditional thought, and at the same time modes of production which would be more traditional and less destructive of the environment, and many other things. It’s very difficult, of course, while we have a global economy which tries to encompass everything within itself, to have exceptions. So there are degrees to which this could be done. I’m not saying it could be done one-hundred percent, while the rest of the world is galloping in another direction. But there would be perceptible changes. Meanwhile, the role of the traditional Islam in the Islamic world is precisely to try to prevent forms of extreme interpretation, either on behalf of the fundamentalists or the modernists in the Islamic world. That role is a very significant one.

There has been a little addition to the concourse this week in the form of a tree. This is a ‘November Remembrance’ Tree, where students, staff and parents can take the time to remember loved ones who have passed on. This month is dedicated to remembering those we have loved who have died. Beginning on the Feast of All Saints, followed by the feast of All Souls, and for each day during the month of November we give thanks for their presence in our lives and thank God for them.
Throughout this month you are each encouraged to take time to write down the names of any loved ones you have lost on the ‘blank’ tags on the tree. All names on the tree will be remembered in the morning prayers and Masses for the month and also in a special way at our Mass for deceased past pupils on Sunday November 18th, when the tree will be moved to Boys Chapel where names can also be added.
Most people find thinking about death difficult. Having a special time to remember those who have died gives us an opportunity to think and speak about the people we have lost. Throughout the month of November we can make a special effort to attend Mass or a Remembrance Prayer Service, to visit the cemetery and to pray for their souls. Through his resurrection Jesus overcame the power of death. As Christians, while we find it difficult when someone dies, we are people of hope and look forward to the time when we too will see the face of God together with those we have loved and lost.
Jesus said: Do not let your hearts be troubled you trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father’s house there are many places to live in; otherwise I would have told you. I am going now to prepare a place for you, and after I have gone and prepared you a place, I shall return to take you to myself, so that you may be with me where I am.
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says ‘she is gone’. Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout ‘Here she comes!’ That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight. Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further. (Bishop Charles Henry Brent).
At the rising of the sun and its going down, we remember you.

Kerry Yo Nakagawa is the author of Through a Diamond: 100 Years of Japanese American Baseball. He is also the founder and director for the non-profit Nisei Baseball Research Project (NBRP), curator of the Diamonds in the Rough: Japanese Americans in Baseball exhibition which was displayed at the National Museum in the summer of 2000, a consultant to the prestigious Baseball Hall of Fame tour entitled Baseball in America, and an independent producer/filmmaker, actor, researcher, and writer.
The Nisei Baseball Research Project (NBRP) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded by Kerry Yo Nakagawa to preserve the history of Japanese American Baseball. In Cooperstown, they have a saying that Baseball is a game of Dreams and Memories. It is for both those reasons that the Nisei Baseball Research Project was developed.
The NBRP's ultimate goal is the permanent inclusion of Japanese Americans in Baseball into the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.
The Genesis of NISEI BASEBALL: DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH, began on May 4, 1996 at the Fresno Art Museum as the first exhibit ever to display the photos, memorabilia, artifacts, and text history of the Nikkei in the world of Baseball. Prewar, Internment, Post-war and the Legacy of the Legends of Japanese American Baseball is all part of this unique inter-active exhibit. Former players, relatives, friends and newly acquired fans of these eras reminisce about these images and precious moments of American baseball history. On July 19, the National Japanese American Historical Society co-sponsored the exhibit to venues in San Francisco,Oakland and San Jose. On July 20, a Tribute to the Legends of the NiseiBaseball League was held before 50,000 sold out fans at 3Com Park. Media coverage from CNN News, Japan Baseball Weekly, The San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury, KNBR, NPR and all local and National Japanese American News sources have been tremendously positive.
Our goal and commitment is to bring this traveling exhibit to all major cities that had significant leagues and players.This compelling and historic exhibit has expanded it's scope to incorporate all regions in California, Seattle, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Hawaii and Japan.
The exhibit has been featured at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown New York, the Sacramento State Capitol Museum, the Arizona Hall of Fame Museum, and in Oregon at Portland Hall of Fame Museum and the Four Rivers Cultural center & Museum in Los Angeles, the San Diego Hall of Champions Museum and the Fresno Metropolitan Museum. Internationally, the exhibit was at the Japan Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Tokyo.

Several apps attempt to making dining out as seamless as an Uber ride.
As we note in our recent report on mobile trends, payments will start getting pushed to the back of consumer experiences as apps enable customers to purchase and pay easily, enjoying a seamless experience. Taxi service Uber is the most high-profile and oft-cited example. Now, several apps are aiming to bring this experience to diners and bar patrons.
MyCheck launched in Israel—where the company says it’s accepted at hundreds of locations, including a large café chain—and is looking to expand, starting with New York City. Users check in to a participating venue upon arrival, receiving a code that they give to a waiter (or other relevant person), syncing their phone with the establishment’s system; before leaving, they use the app to pay for as much of the bill they want to cover. Still in private beta, New York-based Cover has a similar focus; its founders say the idea was inspired by Uber. Square is also in this space, as well as TabbedOut, which emphasizes the potential for merchants to collect data that will enable more personalized service. At the same time, fast food chains including KFC (in the U.K. and Ireland) and Five Guys (in the U.S.) are creating their own apps that enable seamless payment via the mobile device.
While consumers have been slow to adopt the mobile wallet, they’re more likely to embrace payment apps that remove clear hassles (e.g., waiting for and dividing up the check, standing in line to pay) and enable efficiency. On the merchant side, such apps will enable Predictive Personalization—i.e., fine-tuned offers and messaging—via the data they collect on users’ habits and preferences.

The impetus of this little project is the same motivation of many of my projects- an unsuccessful search. I have been looking for fun mix and match cloth napkins to send to my sister (we have some friends heading to the middle east next week and they said they’d take a few things over for me). However, I keep finding things that are close-but-not-quite right.
1. Cut two 19″ squares of fabric.
2. Pin together, right sides facing in. Stitch around the perimeter, leaving a 4″ gap along one of the edges.
3. Turn right side in, pushing through the gap in stitching.
4. Press flat and top stitch around the entire perimeter.
Done! Fabulous mix-and-match napkins ready for my sister (I followed these same steps for the aqua linen, but for the pink and tan linen napkins, I used this tutorial). Watch for them in her yummy forthcoming recipe posts!
Thanks girls for such a useful project! I can never find napkins in fabric that I like!
Susan- us either! Well, I can find them, but they’re way out of my price range. 🙂 Thanks for having us!
Love the napkins and love to have new sewing machine.
What’s the best kind of material to use for napkins? What types of material should I stay away from? What’s a good size for a napkin?
Hey Wendy, honestly, I have used all sorts of cotton variations for making napkins… linen works well, I’ve even used thicker home decor weight as well. Cocktail napkins are 6″ x 6″. Larger napkins are 16″ square… Hope that helps!
Hi, I have been wanting to make some napkins too, which fabric (cotton, weight?) did you use for these?
I thought about linen but it’s too expensive for my budget.
Hey Maayan- I used linen (the light pink and aqua ones), chambray (the gray/tan) and quilter’s cotton (the polka dots and triangles). All of them hold up really well! Hope that helps!
I would love to win this. Thank you for the tutorial.
I make Southwestern style print napkins like these that mix and match . When in a pinch I use as a placemat and let part of it hang over table edge. I use high quality white paperplates when I have a large group!
I love the idea of using these as placemats, Lola!

I create maps as part of my writing process. While planning a new book, I map the whole of the Known World and percolate ideas for the upcoming story. Before drafting each section of the book, I also map an important or conceptually relevant area of my world. And before I revise each chapter of the book, I map an area featured within that chapter.
This mapping serves as an inspiration tool, allowing me to ruminate over the upcoming content in a fun and productive way. During the long and arduous revision stage, mapping also provides a much-needed respite from my intense editing frenzy. And in many ways, creating a new map is my reward for completing edits on the previous chapter, motivating me to keep at it.
Ultimately, mapping an area heightens my sense of the story's setting, regardless of my stage in the writing process. When I started Awakening, the first thing I did was sketch a map of the world. Then I invented my characters, using the map to help define cultural backgrounds and regional histories. After discovering the hidden details my first map evoked, I decided to integrate mapping into my writing process.
Mapping my world helps bring my stories into sharper focus, and maps are a great way to share my passion with others. The images serve as a swift gateway for new fans to connect with my Tales of the Known World saga. And since mapping is such a powerful tool, I now provide cartography services to fellow storytellers, so they too can enjoy the awesome benefits of making a map.

Premiere: Arizona Landmine - "DIY Therapy" & "Achilles"
New Noise Magazine has upped its spirits with the help of two brand new Arizona Landmine songs. Today we are happy to bring forth both “DIY Therapy” & “Achilles” below. “DIY Therapy” is a raw, charged song with enough punk attitude to level listeners ears with sharp melodies and punchy riffs. The drums snap through their patterns, capturing the passion that Arizona Landmine has come to be known for across the circles of do it yourself ethics.
“Achilles” is more reflective in approach, with the guitars less invasive, providing space for the vocals to wind through their delivery. The song features Julia Steiner of Ratboys. The elegant harmonies help the song’s brazen midwest feel have more weight. Both of these songs are off of Heel, the band’s upcoming full length.

So I've been playing a lot with twitter lately and my question becomes, how are people driving traffic and what influences it? There are a lot of people spending countless hours or designing automated systems to spam and advertise on twitter but what makes it work (or not work)? Jason Calacanis just offered half a million dollars to be a suggested user and provided a lot of math to justify his offer, but he used some numbers I question, like 10% CTR for a good ad. My experience is the average tweet gets around 1% CTR (just general links, nothing sensationalized) which he also used for his baseline tweet CTR on his questions idea.
Am I missing any variables? How would you estimate potential traffic of any given tweet? What sort of baseline CTR are you experiencing? Tips/Tricks to tweet more effectively?

BUSINESS: While many roads in Phuket have been damaged as the result of rains and landslips in the past month, that’s nothing compared with the damage in flood-hit parts of central Thailand.
The Ministry of Transport has predicted that as much as B25 billion may be needed for the repair of flood-damaged roads and highways there.
In the meantime, urgent efforts are being made to reestablish transport routes hit by the flooding, which has resulted in partial paralysis of Thailand’s distribution network, a paralysis that is having a effect – so far limited – as far away as Phuket.
Permanent Secretary for Transport Supoj Saplom insisted that authorities were striving to save the transportation system from being hit by the floods.
According to Mr Supoj, 80 roads under the supervision of the Department of Highways have been reported damage by the floods, and 200 under the supervision of the Department of Rural Roads.
He said repair work would be begin immediately after the floods had subsided.
An initial budget of B1 billion is expected to be spent on reopening the flooded roads for traffic, while a further B20-25 billion may be required for their complete restoration.

Security experts have made a breakthrough in their five-month battle against the Conficker worm, with the discovery that the malware leaves a fingerprint on infected machines that is easy to detect using a variety of off-the-shelf network scanners.
The finding means that, for the first time, administrators around the world have easy-to-use tools to positively identify machines on their networks that are contaminated by the worm. As of mid-Monday, signatures will be available for at least half a dozen network scanning programs, including the open-source Nmap, McAfee's Foundstone Enterprise and Nessus, made by Tenable Network Security.
Up to now there were only two ways to detect Conficker, and neither was easy. One was to monitor outbound connections for each computer on a network, an effort that had already proved difficult for organizations with machines that count into the hundreds of thousands or millions. With the advent of the Conficker C variant, traffic monitoring became a fruitless endeavour because the malware has been programmed to remain dormant until April 1.
The only other method for identifying Conficker-infected computers was to individually scan each one, another measure that placed onerous requirements on admins.
The discovery of Conficker's tell-tale heart two days before activation may prove to be an ace up the sleeve of the the white hat security world.
"This is an extraordinarily inexpensive, not-very-time-intensive way of finding machines on your network that are actually running malicious software," said Dan Kaminsky, one of the three researchers who discovered the Conficker fingerprint. "This is not something we get to do all the time. Most pieces of malicious software are not that easy to find."
The availability of the new Conficker definitions is the result of the sleuthing and quick response of an industry-wide cast of characters, said Kaminsky, who is director of penetration testing at security company IOActive.
The finding came Friday afternoon as Kaminsky pored over data that members of the Honeynet Project had collected on the worm. Along with Honeynet's Tillmann Werner and Felix Leder, Kaminsky soon noticed that Conficker changes the way a small piece of the Windows operating system acts. The behavior, located in pre-authentication routines before users enter file-sharing passwords, makes easy-to-identify changes to the way machines look on a network.
"Once I heard that Conficker had code running on the anonymous surface, I said 'Wait, we can fingerprint that,'" Kaminsky said. "If you can get packets to a box, you can find out fairly reliably whether it's infected with Conficker."
Kaminsky said he then turned to help from Securosis researcher Rich Mogull, who on Saturday began mobilizing providers of network scanning products to add the Conficker definitions as soon as possible.
"This is the fastest turn-around I've ever seen," Kaminsky said.
Products from Qualys and ncircle are also expected to add anti-Conficker detection signatures. Werner and Leder have developed their own proof-of-concept scanner, which is available here.
Since showing up a few days after Microsoft released an emergency patch for Windows in late October, Conficker has elicited a grudging admiration from security professionals, who can't help acknowledging the worm's sophistication. It attacked multiple vectors, was able to crack passwords and spread like wildfire, infecting more than ten million boxes in just a few months' time, by some estimates.
Conficker's profile has only grown larger in the past few weeks as the calendar slowly approaches April 1. That's the day that machines infected with Conficker C will be able to tap into a much larger pool of internet addresses to receive instructions - 50,000 instead of the previous 250.
But it would appear the evil geniuses who spawned the malware made a fatal error that until now had gone unnoticed. Its discovery just a few days before an important deadline could lead to its eradication - but only if network admins worldwide put down what they're doing and make use of the tools now.

When things seem as bleak as they can possibly be, along comes a ray of sunshine, a rainbow, a promise of the good in the world, to help set things squarely in the light of goodness.
This morning, as I write this to you, my heart is full. When my older sisters were all grown up, along came the little sister that I never had.
Heidi was just a wee bit of a thing when she and her brother moved in to what we always called “the dairy farm house” with their sweet and hard-working mama. As she grew older, Heidi helped me milk cows, name and tame the barn cats, feed the calves, light each day with smiles with a positive force that cannot be described nor denied.
Her mother and her grandmother taught her to dream big, aim high, even when there was very little promise in the reality tank that it could happen. Heidi “made” it happen. As a young lady, she became a congressional page, saved her money to travel the world helping others, earned an impressive education, and has continued to do tremendous things for others in need.
She volunteers her time and expertise in helping veterans transition back to civilian life by translating their hard-won experience in to readable resumes that land good jobs. This is just one example of many good-hearted acts Heidi quietly accomplishes with her giving heart.
For years, Heidi has quietly fought a battle of remitting and relapsing multiple sclerosis. Her desire for grabbing life by the horns, giving it her all, seemed too great to be overpowered. For many years, no one knew of her fight, as she privately persevered.
She lived in exotic places, married a kind and wonderful Englishman, and continued to build her business, which has helped others. Now known as Heidi Marie Stieber, this little sister has told me that in many of her speeches and presentations all over the world, she would ask the group members to guess her very first job.
“This is the job that got me started in life, was the job that built my bank account enough to go on my first missions trip,” she said.
Most would guess the typical first job positions: waitress, house cleaner or babysitter.
“My very first job was milking cows, early in the morning and after school. You milked those cows if it was 100 degrees or 10 below zero, and even if you’d been out til midnight at a school event, or even if it was Christmas morning,” she told those who studied under her direction.
Heidi said that often opened the door to people of all walks of life who could then see her as a hard-working human being with a good heart, a person who wanted others to succeed as she had.
She showed that she was a young woman firmly grounded in the realization that we all start from somewhere, and it is up to us to decide where we are going with that experience. She has helped many take a seed and grow it.
Now it is Heidi who needs the help, and it is hard for her to ask for it. As MS has taken the upper hand far too much of the time, she applied and has been accepted in to an intense medical treatment that will essentially wipe out her immune system and rebuild it from the ground up.
Insurance will not cover this, so it will be not only physically draining, but financially draining, as well. She will be unable to work for a year. In spite of the personal suffering and sacrifice, Heidi has the determination to regain her life by fighting this battle through a grueling medical protocol.
From her first knowledge of it, she worked to be accepted. She wants to get back to working hard, walking tall and straight, accomplishing a full day’s agenda while focusing on helping others.
One story that has stayed with me of Heidi as a young girl speaks volumes. We had a big farm cat named Watson, adored by even non-cat lovers, because he was so smart and filled with personality.
He came up missing, and Heidi was distraught. She searched the farm, calling for him at all hours, determined to find him. Her efforts paid off, and when she found poor Watson, he was pretty beat up. She offered money from her piggy bank to treat his cuts and scrapes, and to pay for a visit to the veterinarian.
She has conquered enormous battles in the U.S. and abroad, showing others that Americans are good-hearted people willing to share our bounty and our blessings. Now Heidi needs some of this in return.
