Less Is More
"Lighter is better," says Pazos when it comes to audition makeup. "You want to stay natural. And it's per person, too. So [our model's] colors would be purples, mauves, light browns, skin-tone colors. You can use black eyeliner on her but I'd prefer it if you used brown on her. So it depends on the coloring."
Under the Lash
Unless you have really big eyes, Pazos recommends gliding your eyeliner pencil under the lower lashes rather than inside the tear duct area. On our model, he used MAC's "Teddy" pencil, though his favorite is "Feline" by MAC. "It the blackest of the black," he explains. "It glides on really easily. When you have a pencil that's cheaper it won't actually glide. So you're struggling putting it on."
Drawing in Your Brow
Not every actor will have to draw in her eyebrows. Says Pazos, "Try not to paint it in first with a pencil. See if you can just brow gel it. Sometimes a brow gel will make it actually darker. You won't have to pencil it in. If you have to pencil it in, whatever your natural hair color is, go a few shades lighter than that."
Eye Shadow 101
Pazos says all you need are three colors: "Use a lighter color for the [upper] lash line to the crease; that's your highlight color. The darkest color will go in the crease; that's creating a contour and giving a false effect of a crease basically in your eye. It gives you definition. And then the last color, which is also a highlight color, goes on your brow bone. It's also a light color."
Foundation of Foundations
Pazos recommends the brand Makeup Forever to all actors, particularly those working in or wanting to work on-camera. He explains, "Everything else is too oily, looks too caked on, is too thick, and is too clumpy. The best, the lightest, the one that everyone is using in the industry would be Makeup Forever." He also likes the brand's powder.
Moisturizer Matters
"Makeup starts before you put on the makeup," says Pazos. "It starts off with the cleaning agent you're using for your face. You want to get facials. You have to wash your face every night. If you're on camera every day, you can't afford to look bad. It's all about staying competitive."
As for moisturizer, he recommends staying away from products with a lot of oil. "Oil is going to clog your skin, therefore giving you pimples and zits and therefore making you wear more foundation to cover it. And SPF is huge. It will prevent wrinkles and give you more time in the industry." Pazos' go-to brands are Murad and Dermalogica. After moisturizing the skin, Pazos likes to use a Smashbox primer. "It's really light. It helps fill in any fine lines that you may have before you put on your foundation or concealer. You want to stay away from anything that has a luminescence—any shine, any glitter, any fine brightness to it. What that's going to do, especially on camera, is it's going to make your face look greasy. If you're going in on an audition, you want to make sure your face is staying matte."
Get Cheeky
There are two ways to go about doing blush, according to the celebrity makeup artist. "There's contouring of the cheeks and then there's blush—totally different things," he says. "Blush is supposed to be just on the apples of your cheeks. It's supposed to give you a little bit of color to make you look healthy. So that would be more of the red or mauve tones, more healthy-looking tones. Whereas contouring would be more of the grays and browns to accentuate your cheeks to make them look more defined. Depending on your face shape, if you have a really round face, I recommend actually contouring your cheekbones to make your face defined."

Other Tips From a Pro
- You don't have to spend a lot on mascara. Pazos says the cheaper brands, namely Cover Girl, Maybelline, and L'Oreal, are great. He also says not to pump your mascara as it dries it out sooner than if you swirl it in the canister. And throw out that mascara after three months.
- If you're going to spend money, invest in a good set of brushes. "If you don't have the right tools, it's not going to look the same," says Pazos. "You can fake it, but it will make your job easier if you have the right tools." He especially recommends a foundation brush. If you prefer to apply foundation with a sponge, be sure to throw it away after a few applications. "It's a breeding ground for bacteria."
- For L.A. dwellers, Pazos recommends Nigel Beauty Emporium in North Hollywood. It's where he shops.

text: I was in Brighton on the 1st of May to photograph a show at The Warren for IdeasTap's commission for a fringe photographer. The company, who are mostly graduates from my old drama school, Rose Bruford, very kindly let me shoot the dress rehearsal, allowing me to move around without worrying. The show is an interpretation of Shakespeare's The Tempest, with actor-musicians playing the roles and switching between playing different instruments while performing. The IdeasTap review that my photos accompany is up here.

Visiting Salamander Resort & Spa in Virginia Hunt Country
A mother and daughter equestrian pair spend the weekend at a luxury Virginia Hunt Country retreat, enjoying horseback riding and the Spa.
by Caroline Maffry

Read Part 3 - Insider's Tour with Farm to Table Dining at Salamander Resort
As we made our way to the main entrance, we were welcomed by smiling faces and staff outfitted in equestrian attire–– a lovely touch that most would not necessarily notice, but to us equestrians, it was appreciated. Nothing was overlooked from hunt coats and breeches to boots and gloves. My daughter was impressed that the ladies were wearing wrap collared show shirts, properly named rat catchers.
As we entered the grand foyer, the reception area was not where you might expect it to be located. It seems that Salamander was looking to achieve the feeling of arriving at a private residence, rather than a guest facility, so the grand living room welcomes you before you head to the reception. In fact, we were told later in the evening that the resort's entrance and façade was modeled after the private residence of the owner and inspiration for the Salamander Resort & Spa, Sheila Johnson.

Every effort to make you feel like you are "coming home" has been achieved. We were welcomed by name, a personal touch that is a benchmark throughout the resort–– a well thought out touch and one not as common in the hotel industry these days as you would think. We were also presented with personal letters of welcome from the concierge, stating that should we need anything that they were at our disposal. The feeling of relaxation instantly washed over us. The hallways were lined with artwork and photographs worth stopping to admire, unlike the generic hotel art we all have experienced. We found our room by following the numbered plaques in the shape of riding helmets marking the doors down the hallway and as we reached for our key cards to enter our room, not even was this element overlooked, as the cards themselves depicted photos of the resort and horses.

The hotel has 168 guest rooms with 17 additional suites. True to its description, the room was spacious and flawlessly appointed with two queen beds dressed in equestrian motif, a fireplace centered beneath the wall mounted flat screen television, luxurious bathroom with a marble shower and a pedestal tub, and enclosed water closet. Placing my bag on the convenient bench at the foot of the bed, I noticed the spread of food neatly laid out on the table for two at the far end of the room. A welcome note personally addressed to me, simply but eloquently said, "A warm welcome to Salamander Resort & Spa."

The tasty treats were just what we needed coming in from the equestrian center. We spent an hour or so enjoying our room, the fabulous bathroom and view from our private balcony outwards to the expansive countryside. Below we could also see the rear lawn of the resort that consists of a fire pit lounge and a giant chessboard for guests to enjoy a life-size match. Also on the property are tennis courts, an outdoor pool complex, and nearby walking and bike trails.

Salamander History and Local Area
Despite only being open a few months, the team at the Salamander is hard at work and dedicated to guests. Efforts to work closely with the town of Middleburg began with Sheila Johnson, CEO of the Resort and a local resident herself. This partnership has ensured that guests and residents can both benefit from the revenue being generated by the resort and local events and activities. With over 400 annual equestrian-related area activities that include polo events, steeplechases, and renowned historic horse shows, horse enthusiasts and travel lovers are in heaven. Resort guests also benefit from exclusive golf privileges at the nearby Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and over 50 Virginia wineries within an hour of the resort. Historic area tours can be arranged in between shopping trips to Middleburg, where old world charm seems to remain preserved.
Some area highlights include the Virginia Tech MARE Center, known recently for developing an exceptional sport horse breeding program. The National Sporting Library and Museum in the center of Middleburg is the largest museum in the country dedicated to preserving and sharing the literature, art and culture of equestrian, angling and field sports. Great Meadow is home to the twice-annual Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase race events. During the summer months, guests of the area may also enjoy an evening of Twilight Polo. Local renowned Horse Shows that are not to be missed include the Washington International Horse Show and the Upperville Colt and Horse Show – America's oldest horseshow.
Salamander Spa- The Rider's Relief Massage
Welcomed at the Spa Reception once again by name, we were immediately invited to sit in the Spa lounge to fill out the treatment questionnaire. The questionnaires were inside leather cases for our convenience, making it unnecessary to look for something to lean on. As we took a few moments to complete the health questions, the flickering fire in the fireplace and soothing sound of the water fountains that lined the entrance to the Spa started to lull me into a peaceful trance.

The Spa also includes a fitness center including indoor pool, cardio and weight room, movement studios and sauna.
The Spa manager made a point of greeting us and welcoming us to the Spa, further inviting us to relax and truly enjoy the experience. We were given a brief tour of the spa facilities, which feature a vitality whirlpool, aromatic steam rooms, tepidarium chairs, and experiential showers. The Spa's naturally inspired location is designed to offer a health and wellness journey while balancing the mind and body. After being invited to change into spa robes, we were escorted to the sun-lit relaxation space to await our spa specialist.
Relaxation areas are filled with natural light at Salamander Spa.
I can truly say that the spa experience was the highlight of our stay. Scheduled to experience the "Rider's Relief Massage" for two, it was just what we needed after our afternoon out with the horses. Described as a unique treatment ideal for equestrian connoisseurs, the massage focused on releasing our muscle tension. Designed to mobilize the joints in affected areas, this massage lived up to its description and beyond. The couple's room was complete with a fireplace and our heated massage beds were side by side.

Each of our spa specialists worked up and down or bodies applying just the desired amount of pressure to relieve the tension. Our spa specialists were equestrians themselves, so there was no need for us to mention the areas that were sore! In fact, there was adequate time spent on our body's most used riding areas, from our calves and forearms to our hands and lower back. We experienced the 50-minute service, although I would highly recommend the 80-minute option, as we wanted to remain and continue the massage indefinitely. As with any luxury, top-of-the-line massage, be prepared to see top-of-the-line pricing to accompany it, but hands down, it will be the best money you have spent in a while. And, yes, massage services are also available for your equine companion- at the equestrian center of course!
With 14 deluxe treatment rooms, many with private treatment terraces or fireplaces, there is plenty to indulge you. Other massage specialties featured at the Spa include a well being massage designed to relief stress and tension; a lava shell massage for a heated treatment incorporating oils and shells into this unique interaction with nature; a quirogolf massage that incorporates golf balls into the therapeutic treatment; and a couples massage in the couples' suite complete with fireplace, a patio and garden, whirlpool, and pedestal tub.
Facials and body treatments round out the Spa experience and a full service salon will have you looking your best whether you come for an hour, a full day experience, or as a guest at the Resort.

One key to getting the most from your miter saw is making sure that it's anchored to a stable surface so that you can get great cuts every time. You can go out and spend a lot of money on a stand, but you're really selling yourself short if you do. If you've invested in a miter saw, you're into woodworking and have the tools and skills to make your own stand.
We looked at a range of DIY stands. Some are complicated, some are simple. Some are static and some are mobile. You might even decide after looking at these that you want to design your own.
This ultimate tool stand from Christopher Merrill is less a miter saw stand and more like a Swiss army knife for tools. It offers a great deal of versatility, allowing you to move from one kind of cutting to another without leaving the workbench.
Miter saws can take up a lot of room, which means that one thing you can add to make your DIY project stand out is portability. This folding miter saw stand by Wilker Do is a great way to make your DIY project mobile.
Converting an old barbecue cart to a miter saw stand is a great way to not only get yourself a mobile tool platform, but also to do something with that old piece of cooking equipment you have sitting around. This works with just about any cart. It's also got built-in platforms to help you set up cuts.
This miter saw cart from Ana White has two great features. It has wheels for mobility and its tables fold down for easy storage. It also has a simple construction, which means that it's both easy and cheap to build. In other words, it's a great DIY project.
For the real DIY enthusiasts among you, this mobile miter saw stand from Pursuit of Handyness offers a big challenge. But that challenge pays off with little extras like tool holders and a precise design that gives you a nice flat cutting surface.
The instructions for this chop saw stand from Lumberjocks isn't really detailed, so this might not be the best option for a beginning woodworking enthusiast. But if you've got the skills to pull it off, this one will reward you with storage and cutting space plus mobility. It also has wheels so you can take it on the go.
Double your pleasure with this dual tool station from Shop Notes. It's perfect for those times when you hit your woodworking zone and need to move from one tool to another, but don't want to break your stride doing it. It's also got storage for hand tools, maintenance items, and accessories.
This folding miter saw stand plan from Fix This Build That comes with wheels for great mobility. You can fold it up for easy storage. Plus, it's got space for tools and accessories and even things to help you clean away the sawdust that accumulates with use.
There are two things this compound miter saw stand from Wood Central has going for it. It has nice, long cutting tables so that you can work on long pieces of plywood and molding. It's also got a lot of storage for tools and accessories. This sets it apart from some of the other plans we've looked at.
This mobile miter saw table is built like a tank. It's big, bulky, and offers great stability for the saw. It's also got a lot of cabinets and drawers to store tools and accessories so you don't have to hunt them down. It might be a bit too much for a stand, but that, of course, is a matter of personal taste.
Unlike other miter saw bench plans, this one from Home Depot is wide open under the cutting table. It also has decent storage space and allows you the option to hang accessories on the outside of the bench. Wheels on the bottom give it mobility. The downside is that it's also pretty big.
Mobile and with lots of storage and great features, this DIY miter saw stand from Popular Woodworking is a great way to maximize what you get from your miter saw. It's big, so you're going to need space to store it. If you frequently use your miter saw though, that probably won't be a big deal.
This great upcycling project from Woodworking Online is another example of repurposing a barbecue grill cart into a miter saw stand. The bottom shelf, which holds the legs together for stability, offers a place to put scrap wood.
Woodworking enthusiasts who like to build just for the sake of building will like this miter saw stand plan from Wood Archivist. This one offers numerous building challenges. Of course, if you just want to get your miter saw up and running, it might be a bit much.
Big and clunky, this is the kind of miter saw table from Family Handyman that you set up at a worksite and then leave in place on a couple of sturdy sawhorses. It's long and comes with storage compartments, so it's got a lot of utility. It's just that you might not find much enjoyment in moving it around.
This is a really basic miter saw stand plan from Chief's Shop. Built primarily of basic materials and hardware, it's inexpensive and fast, but without a lot of bells and whistles. It's simple enough for those with undeveloped woodworking skills to tackle. It might also be a good choice for people who need less in a saw stand.
Hi there! My name is Adam and I write for HealthyHandyman. I have a great passion for writing about everything related to tools, home improvement, and DIY. In my spare time, I'm either fishing, playing the guitar, or spending quality time with my beloved wife. You'll also often find me in my workshop working on some new project!

At a time
where globalization continues to spread and sustains a vision of a world
tending to become a « global village » as the sociologist Marshall McLuhan
predicted, territories are facing a complex challenge : giving themselves a
unique image, in order to attract and retain a wide variety of public and individual audiences.
Territorial branding : far more than a logo
In these times of continuous streams, trade liberalization and free movement of inidviduals, administrative and geographical borders tend to fade away, leading to the redefinition of the idea of territorial space. The current context of a weakened macroeconomic and geopolitical situation has encouraged the local and regional authorities to communicate on their competitive assets, to stand up on an international stage. We've witnessed the emerging development of specific identities for countries, cities and regions, positioning themselves as brands. Saying this, destination branding is not a new trend, or an umpteenth fad of the communications industry. The first initiative of this kind was launched in 1969 by the State of Virginia in the US ; « Virginia is for lovers » has been incidentally cited as one the most iconic campaigns of the past 50 years by the magazine Ad Age.
The first territorial branding campaign for the State of Virginia, from 1969 until now
« I love NY » : who isn't aware of this logo/tagline that is now so cult that other cities have imitated it (I love SF, I love LA, …), as well as numerous brands ? (The French bank La Banque Postale used it to promote one of its savings accounts options for instance).
This symbol turned into a genuine cultural icon has become a Holy Grail for most of the cities in the world : I Am-sterdam, Mad-rid about you, Only Lyon, Be Berlin, It's better in the Bahamas, C-Open-Hagen, …
However, destination branding can't be reduced to a tagline, or to a graphic illustration : the final goal is to reveal and show the different intricate facets of a territory, associating a functional dimension (services, transports, architecture, …) and an emotional aspect (culture, heritage, encounters, …) to address multiple and demanding targets. The underlying aim is to switch paradigm and to evolve from location to destination.
What's at stake for a territorial brand
Every country is naturally associated to a mental representation and a reputation rooted in a mix of constituent features such as history, universities, sports teams or its inhabitants' personalities.
Jean-Noël Kapferer states that "Countries are therefore names with brand power : they have the power to influence through the spontaneous associations they evoke, for good or ill, and through the emotions that they stir up."
Another look at the countries' reputation : we learn that Russia is known for its strawberries, Peru for the longevity of marriages and Finland as the biggest coffee consumer in the world ! (Source : DogHouse Diaries)
One of the major issues to deal with for branding experts is to manage to sum up the whole bunch of evocations coming from a territory to one and only icon, which will act as a significant symbol while conveying its values' set ; and which will address very distinctive private and public audiences. This symbol has to arouse an emotion, in order to be embraced by the people that define and embody the territory. This is the most subtle part of the task and we've seen London fail at doing a good job : by dint of letting several identities and universe live alongside, the city doesn't know which one is right and has suffered from an identity crisis…
At last, as any mass consumption brand, a territory brand must draw on concrete reasons-to-believe, to prove its promise worthy. « What is said » of a territory is more important as what the territory says of itself. It is crucial that the image and perceived values translate into facts, especially in the items – the 6 As - presented in the Destination Marketing Association International : Amenities, Attraction, Activities, Accessibility, Ancillary services, Available packages.
Defining new borders
Mainly motivated by economic purposes, some cities rally around one strong and unique brand – supported by their city halls, their chambers of commerce or their tourist centers – blurring thus the previously well-defined frontiers. Saint-Etienne territory is an illustration of this trend ; its brand positioning, visual identity and signature, as well as communications guidelines have been developed by CBA. This type of association is challenging since it is based on the federation of endorsers with different perspectives and the reconciliation of plural identities around a common legitimate message.
CBA took up the challenge of creating the identity of Haropa, a major harbor group in France
On the other end, some official boundaries get blast under the aegis of inhabitants proud to promote what they consider as their spaces, showing off their local feeling of belonging. In Paris for instance, there is a raging hype war between SoPi (standing for South of Pigalle) and NoMa (standing for North of Marais). A designer from Chicago decided to ally his two passions – his city and his job – and came up with the Chicago Nieghborhoods project : an original creation for the 77 districts of the North-American city, inspired from its own experiences and imagination. Other neighbourhoods go even further and develop their own identity system, targeting tourists and people from close neighbourhoods to go out, shop, travel or live there. Georgetown in Washington D.C. is one example amongst others.
Today more than ever, territory branding is a complex sum of references to institutions and collective meaning and of a personal, emotional and creative reinterpretation of a shared universe by citizens.

The first photos through the Leica S8APO
It has taken a while to get the camera hooked up to the microscope because it is quite a complicated process, involving lots of adapters and converters – not to mention getting the optics and the extension tubes correctly arranged. The first shots really weren't worth looking at but today I started to capture images that are getting a bit better – still not the quality I hope to achieve, but getting there.
Although the microscope is rated at 80x the actual magnification through the microscope tube is related to the size of the sensor and this works out at about 10x – 15x but this is still very good and a perfect range for what I want to do. The lighting in these photos is very rough and contrasty because I haven't experimented with flash diffusers yet but it gives you an idea of what is possible.
This is a butterfly wing (Eunica coelina):
This is a lateral view of Dinera grisecens, showing a bit of the katepisternum; a nice row of hypopleural bristles; the hind spiracle with hairy flap; haltere and abdominal tergite 1+2:
Contrast that with the spiracle of Exorista rustica, which has a "classic" single-flap arrangement:
… and the next 2 show classic polideine spiracles, with 2 equally-sized flaps:
I hope to make a few more photos over the coming days, once I have worked out the problem with parfocality – the camera should be in focus at the same point as the main microscope eyepieces but at the moment it isn't … a bit more experimentation needed! 😉

Older than the Derby by a year, the Oaks was the brainchild of Johnny Burgoyne, a soldier, playwright and politician who married into Lord Derby's family.
Burgoyne had leased his mansion to his nephew, the 12th Earl of Derby, and persuaded the nobleman to create a race over a mile and a half for three-year-old fillies, in response to the St Leger, which had been founded at Doncaster as a two-mile race for colts of the same age in 1776.
The first Oaks, named after Burgoyne's Surrey residence, came in 1779 and was won by Lord Derby's Bridget, whose sire Herod was also responsible for Faith, winner of the fillies' Classic two years later, and 1783 victor Maid Of The Oaks.
In 1801, Eleanor became the first horse to win the Derby and triumph in the Oaks the very next day. The filly's trainer, Mr Cox, died shortly before both races and his last words were recorded as "Depend on it, that Eleanor is a hell of a mare".
John Gully, the prize-fighter and politician who had 12 children by each of his two wives, landed many big races as an owner and in 1846 he saw his Mendicant win the Oaks to climax a fantastic week that began with his colt Pyrrhus The First taking the Derby.
Fully 56 years after Eleanor, Blink Bonny became the s econd filly to complete the Derby-Oaks double when she prevailed in 1857. Trained and owned by William I'Anson in Malton, Yorkshire, the filly would have probably won the St Leger in the same year, but was pulled by regular pilot John Charlton on the orders of bookmaker John Jackson, who was renowned for corrupting jockeys.
La Fleche took her place in the 1892 Oaks field seeking compensation for defeat in the Derby three days previously. Already successful in that season's 1000 Guineas, Baron de Hirsch's St Simon filly was the victim of a deplorable ride from her apparently insane jockey, George Barrett, and was beaten less than a length. She duly won the Oaks and secured the fillies' Triple Crown with victory in the St Leger. The winner of 16 races, La Fleche also won the Cambridgeshire, Champion Stakes and Gold Cup at Ascot.
In 1902, Sceptre captured both the 1000 and 2000 Guineas at Newmarket before finishing fourth in the Derby following an interrupted preparation. Trained by owner, journalist, and adventurer Robert Sievier, the filly returned to form with a resounding victory in the Oaks two days later. She went on to score in the St Leger, becoming the only horse to win four British Classics.
Pretty Polly won all nine of her starts as a two-year-old and started the 1904 campaign with victory in the 1000 Guineas, before going on to triumph in both the Oaks – when the shortest-priced scorer at 8/100 – and the St Leger for the fillies' Triple Crown.
One of the greatest-ever fillies, Pretty Polly triumphed in 22 of her 24 starts and subsequently enjoyed a successful career as a broodmare.
Signorinetta became the third filly to complete the Derby-Oaks double in 1908, belying a starting price of 100/1 against the colts, while Fifinella was the last filly to manage the Classic double in 1916, when both races were held at Newmarket due to the First World War.
Colledge Leader saddled Lord Stanley's 33/1 chance Quashed to win the 1935 Oaks. Quashed entered racing folklore the following season when becoming the fifth filly or mare to win the Ascot Gold Cup, a victory she achieved after a tremendous battle with the US champion Omaha.
Along with the 1901 winner Cap And Bells, Quashed is one of only two Oaks heroines deemed ineligible for the General Stud Book as her dam, Verdict, was the product of both a half-bred sire and a half-bred dam.
Sun Chariot triumphed in the 1942 Oaks, despite giving the rest of the field a furlong start when slowly away. The filly, leased to King George VI for her racing career by the Irish National Stud, won both the 1000 Guineas and the St Leger in more impressive fashion to claim the fillies' Triple Crown.
This feat was emulated by Meld in 1955, who ran only four times as a three-year-old, but won them all – the 1000 Guineas, Oaks, Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and the St Leger.
French-trained fillies have captured the Oaks on 10 occasions, the first being Imprudence from Joseph Lieux's stable, who in 1947 added the mile and a half contest to victories in the English and French Guineas. Andre Fabre saddled the most recent triumphant French raider, Intrepidity, who scored for owner Sheikh Mohammed in 1993.
Carrozza became the initial Classic winner for Her Majesty the Queen when successful in 1957, while winning jockey Lester Piggott returned to partner 1000 Guineas scorer Petite Etoile to victory two years later, a filly he would later describe as the best he ever rode. Piggott won the Classic on six occasions, the other four triumphs coming on board Valoris (1966), Juliette Marny (1975), Blue Wind (1981) and Circus Plume (1984).
The Queen enjoyed a second Oaks success in her Silver Jubilee year of 1977, when Dunfermline triumphed before going on to win the St Leger. Six years later, another Dick Hern-trained filly, Sun Princess also completed that same Classic double. The filly won the Oaks by 12 lengths and was also third to the previous year's Oaks winner, the brilliant Time Charter, in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes before finishing runner-up to another outstanding filly, All Along, in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Oh So Sharp gave Sheikh Mohammed his initial Classic victory in the 1000 Guineas before going on to an emphatic six-length win in the Oaks in 1985. The outstanding filly completed the fillies' Triple Crown when scoring in the St Leger and is the latest three-year-old to achieve the feat. The owner has since gained three more Oaks victories – Unite (1987), Diminuendo (1988) and Intrepidity (1993) in his own colours.
There was controversy in the 1989 Oaks when first past the post Aliysa subsequently became the first British Classic winner to be disqualified following a positive dope test, with Snow Bride eventually promoted to first place. Aliysa's owner, the Aga Khan, subsequently withdrew from British racing for five years in protest at the amended result which he mounted a strong challenge to.
Snow Bride went on to further distinction as the dam of 1995 Derby, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes and Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Lammtarra who remained unbeaten in a glittering career.
Salsabil enjoyed a fantastic Classic campaign in 1990, winning the 1000 Guineas before turning the Oaks into a procession with a five-length victory. The John Dunlop-trained filly then beat the colts with a fine turn of foot in the Irish Derby.
Jet Ski Lady, one of seven Irish-trained fillies to win the Oaks, was joint top-priced of any winner of the Classic, starting at 50/1 – the other successful filly at these odds was Vespa in 1833.
User Friendly was another prolific scorer as a three-year-old, winning six times during the 1992 season. The Clive Brittain-trained filly, who won the Oaks from a select field of six rivals, went on to score in the Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks before becoming the most recent filly to complete the Oaks-St Leger double. She also finished runner-up in that year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin operation had a first Group One success when Balanchine powered home in the 1994 Oaks, which also provided jockey Frankie Dettori with his first British Classic success. The outstanding filly also triumphed in the Irish Derby. Another Godolphin-owned filly, Moonshell, was successful the following year.
Imagine beat Flight Of Fancy and Relish The Thought in the 2001 Oaks, with all three being by stallion Sadler's Wells. Kazzia, another owned by Godolphin, became the latest filly to complete the 1000 Guineas-Oaks double when prevailing by half a length at Epsom Downs in 2002. Further glory came in North America, where the filly scored in the Grade One Flower Bowl Invitational Stakes at Belmont Park.
Another globe-trotting filly, Ouija Board, carried the famous Lord Derby colours to a seven-length victory in the 2004 Oaks, 225 years after Bridget had triumphed in the same silks in the inaugural running of the Classic. The Earls of Derby have won the Classic on seven occasions. Ouija Board went on to score six more times at the highest level, including the Irish Oaks, two Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turfs in the USA and the Hong Kong Vase.
Eswarah gave trainer Michael Jarvis a first Oaks success in 2005 and the filly, owner Hamdan Al Maktoum's second victory in the Epsom Downs Classic after Salsabil, was the first out of another Oaks winner, 1986 scorer Midway Lady, since 1912 when Murska, a daughter of 1899 winner Musa, scored.
Alexandrova powered to a six-length victory in the 2006 Oaks, giving both trainer Aidan O'Brien and jockey Kieren Fallon a third success in the fillies' Classic. The fifth daughter of Sadler's Wells to win the Oaks, Alexandrova went on to complete an Oaks treble with triumphs in the Irish and Yorkshire versions.
There were emotional scenes in the winner's enclosure in 2007 when Light Shift gave Henry Cecil a fantastic eighth victory in the Oaks and his first since Love Divine in 2000. The Newmarket trainer's other Oaks winners came through Oh So Sharp (1985), Diminuendo (1988), Snow Bride (1989), Lady Carla (1996), Reams Of Verse (1997) and Ramruma (1999).
However, Cecil still has some way to go to catch Robert Robson, who saddled an incredible 12 Oaks winners between 1802 and 1825.
The 2008 renewal of the Oaks brought a first British Classic success for trainer Ralph Beckett and Seb Sanders as Look Here triumphed for owner-breeder Julian Richmond-Watson. The proprietor of Lawn Stud is the first senior steward of the Jockey Club to have owned an Oaks winner since the Earl of Chesterfield's Industry was saddled to victory by John Scott in 1838.
Four years after enjoying Derby success with Motivator, Michael Bell celebrated a second Classic triumph at Epsom in the 2009 Oaks courtesy of Sariska. The Lady Bamford home-bred followed up with an effortless victory in the Irish Oaks, while runner-up Midday went on to score six times at the highest level.
The 2010 Oaks winner, Snow Fairy, was supplemented at a cost of £20,000 at the five-day stage and rewarded her owner Cristina Patino. The Ed Dunlop-trained filly provided jockey Ryan Moore with a first English Classic victory and went on to triumph in the Irish Oaks, Japan's Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup, the Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin and the Queen Elizabeth II Commemorative Cup at Kyoto, Japan.
Newmarket trainer William Haggas is the only trainer with a 100 per cent record in the Investec Derby, having scored with his only runner Shaamit in 1996, and in 2011 won the Invesec Oaks with his first starter when Dancing Rain led from pillar to post under Johnny Murtagh. The filly went on to land the German Oaks at Dusseldorf and saw off older opposition to land the QIPCO British Champions Fillies' And Mares' Stakes
at the inaugural QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot in October 2011.

I've recently been reading the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith and the first part deals with our understanding of the Holy Scriptures. It says,
We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the church of God to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scriptures; and the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, and the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, and many other incomparable excellencies, and entire perfections thereof, are arguments whereby it doth abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God;
This argument says that style, content, coherence and scope are all evidence that the Bible is indeed the Word of God. Now compare that with this argument for the Qur'an:
One of the reasons that the Qur'an is described as miraculous stems from the fact that, as emphasized in the verses above, nothing like it can ever be written by human endeavour: The greater the scale of that impossibility, the greater the size of the miracle which we see before our very eyes. Therefore, the fact that the style of the Qur'an has been incapable of imitation by even one out of the billions of people down the centuries is one of the proofs of its miraculous nature.
One of the main arguments Islamic scholars make is that the style of Arabic in the Qur'an is unmatched and unmatchable and thereby proof of the divine origin of the book.
Both arguments are, of course, highly subjective and only likely to be persuasive to those already persuaded.
Yet the Baptist Confession of Faith (which at this point is exactly the same as the Westminster Confession) makes one further and very interesting point.
Yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth, and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.
In other words if you weren't persuaded of the divine nature of the Bible and become persuaded, then that is due to the Holy Spirit. Not only that it is only by the living Word dwelling in our hearts (again by the work of the Spirit) that we know the Bible to be true.

Route of Napoleon
About this Adventure
Fact File:
Duration: 15 days
Price from: £1,959 GBP
Enjoy another popular tour from 2011 and 2012.
A sell-out tour in 2011 and 2012, this includes some of our favourite routes and destinations! This year we have added an extra night in Sardinia, allowing us more time to explore the centre of the island. After a pleasant ride through France and Switzerland, we arrive at the Italian Riviera resort of Santa Margherita Ligure, a beautiful quiet spot right next to the tiny but stunning village of Porto Fino. We then catch the overnight ferry to the Italian island of Sardinia with its sweeping and spectacular biking roads, equally spectacular beaches and its fascinating mix of Mediterranean cultures. We'll spend one night in a beach front hotel on the east coast and two nights in the lively and historic fortified port of Alghero. Here we have the chance to take a boat trip to visit the extraordinary caverns nearby, sample some of the island's stunning beaches or explore more of the great roads, beforestrolling into the historic centre for a drink and a meal in the old town.
Crossing to the French island of Corsica we land at another little port, Bonifacio, almost hidden in a gap behind the imposing cliffs. Here our hotel and its restaurant are right at the water's edge, providing the perfect setting to sip a cooling drink and watch the yachts arriving from all around the Mediterranean. Our route takes the road up the centre of the island, which is another great ride with sweeping bends and superb mountain scenery. Ajaccio and Corte, both historic capitals with plenty of places of interest to visit, can be included on short diversions from the route. We then pause for a break on Cap Corse, where you can explore the tight winding roads and more beautiful coastline, or relax by the hotel pool. Refreshed, we cross back to Nice on the mainland and head home via the famous Route Napoleon – yet another great biking road, perhaps the most famous of them all. Riders joining this tour will get to ride some of the finest roads around two of the most exclusive and beautiful islands in Europe.
Troyes – Evian – Santa Margherita – Arbatax – Alghero – Bonifacio – Erbalunga – Gap – Dijon – Champagne

The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change is cheap and easy-to-use, but it's only powerful enough for smaller jobs.
- Easy to use
- Light
- Fast charge time
- Low power
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £41.15
- Air speed 210 km/h
- 78dB
What is the Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change?
The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change is a cheap and easy-to-use leaf blower. It isn't the most powerful model I've tested, but as a simple tool for smaller gardens it does a good job. For tougher jobs or a larger area to cover, a more powerful model would prove a better choice.
Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change – Design and features
The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change, with its distinctive Einhell red and black livery, has no on/off switch; there's just a black trigger that you press. You can very the speed by using a wheel on the front of the casing. You can't use your thumb for this; you'll have to use a separate hand.
Although the trigger runs the whole length of the handle, you can hold the Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change without switching it on. This is because the trigger is hinged at the back, and you press at the very front to switch on the machine. So, if you do what comes naturally and hold it at the back of the handle, it can't come on accidentally.
The thoughtful design extends to the rest of the machine: it's solidly built and comfortable to hold via its soft-grip handle. There's also plenty of room to get your hand round that handle, even if you're wearing thick winter gardening gloves.
The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change has a curved nozzle so you don't have to stoop to sweep up leaves. The nozzle is removable, so you can store the machine in a small space, but I found this extremely difficult to do because the fitting was so tight and stiff.
I tried the Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change with the 2Ah battery, but you can go up to 4Ah to increase running time. The 18V lithium-ion battery has three red indicator lights. The Li-ion Power-X-charger has a light display panel indicating the level of charge and various likely faults. On a 40-minute charge, our battery ran for 11 minutes on full power.
Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change – Performance
The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change is light and its controls are also very simple, and I didn't find it annoying having to adjust the speed with my spare hand – although a thumbwheel would have been easier. Einhell says that this blower is easy to use with one hand and perfect for overhead work, and it's light and well-balanced enough to do both.
The leaf blower is fine for clearing dry paths and patios. The variable speed means it's gentle enough to sweep dust across a workshop floor. On its lowest setting, it easily floated two A4 sheets of paper.
It isn't a powerful machine, however. It took a long 9 minutes to clear 40 square metres of damp leaves off grass and struggled to lift them off gravel and concrete, even with that useful curved nozzle. The blower was much happier moving dry leaves and grass clippings on a hard surface. It could shift a volume of those, but found it hard to blow them up in the air, so it took a lot of coaxing to get it to move dry leaves over the 4-inch kerb on my drive.
The Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change isn't overly noisy, even on full power. On its lowest power setting, it's barely audible; on the top one it simply sounds like a crazy hairdryer. This means it would be perfect if you didn't want to disturb other people.
Why buy the Einhell GE-CL 18 Li E Solo Power X-Change?
If you just want to keep a garden clean and sweep leaves or light, dry debris then this is a good choice. Its controls are simple and it would be easy to use if you were small or physically weak. The low, hairdryer sound is a real plus if your neighbours are in close proximity. Anyone wanting a powerful leaf-blower would be better off with an alternative from our Best leaf blower guide.

In the past two days Dan can barely stand on his feet. We generally use two people to walk him to bed and up one stair to a chair that carries him to the upstairs. One in front holding his hands and one behind to support him. If we help sway him from side to side he can move his feet. Now he is barely able to help us get him into a wheelchair.
He has a tough time getting food to his mouth, but manages well with small sandwiches and cut up fruit . Tonight it took him 30 minutes to eat a small sandwich. Any ideas. ? He has had steroid therapy once a week to lessen the inflammation in his brain, but that was 4 days ago.
I must call to get a hospital bed and put it in the living room as well as some type of equipment to get him in and out of bed. Does anyone have any suggestions. It's so scary that this is happening so quickly . He looks miserable and I think he was really depressed today. I could not get him to answer me with a head nod or hand gesture. He was on an antidepressant at the beginning of his journey and it did not seem to help. Has anyone had any success with antidepressants
Thanks you for your support . It's nice to have somewhere to turn .

Are you looking for a job? An employee for your company?
Are you BeKnown?
"BeKnown has the potential to turn Facebook into an extremely powerful recruitment platform and could seriously rival LinkedIn in this department."
A new Facebook app, BeKnown, is kicking Social Media up a notch. What is it? Well, it is a "layer" of Social presence for Facebook. It is Monster-based and fully integrated; it allows users to network on Facebook, professionally, without mixing their personal page in with their professional image. It very well may be the greatest job-seeker tool to date.
In a recent article written by Sue Weekes for www.Recruiter.co.uk, BeKnown is touted as "what is likely to be one of the biggest online recruitment developments this year." The article goes on to report:
Research conducted by KRC Research for Monster revealed that two out of five people have had or know someone that has had problems as a result of a colleague seeing what is on their social media page. BeKnown allows users to choose a different picture, create a different profile detailing their career history and skills (users can import their Monster profile if they wish) and choose only those people from their network who they want to be linked with professionally.
Employers will soon be able to host and manage their own presence on BeKnown. Henry believes this addresses the recruiter's problem of marketing typically owning a company Facebook presence. "If the marketeers are busy talking about the products or services the company offers or there are multiple company profiles, it can be confusing for the consumer."
BeKnown has built in a social referral program, which allows users to let their network know about specific jobs. In addition to this, Henry said that a number of companies are taking part in a beta test of a referral program, which would allow employers to post a job on BeKnown along with a reward for those who refer a successful candidate. "We won't play any part in the transaction, that will be between the company and the users," explained Henry, who says the service is likely to go live in 30 to 60 days and can be used by agencies as well as direct recruiters.
As you'd expect from Monster, there are also job search features on BeKnown. Users can click on a link through to its Sixth Sense semantic search facility to look for jobs on friends' networks or featured jobs. So if a featured job is from Monster, they are taken direct to the job board in a new window. If a job is on a friend's network and they wish to apply, a message pops up saying they will be sent a company link to their to the BeKnown profile. If they are happy to click 'submit', their BeKnown profile becomes their application and the company will contact them through this to discuss the role.

With the Battle for Azeroth will change a lot in WoW. Especially the point of view of the Horde and the Alliance should move. With Warcraft Battle for Azeroth, the factions of the Horde and Alliance are moved more into the focus of the game action.
At the end of the extension, both sides are more clearly defined and to recognize their points of view clearly. While the Horde varies between two extremes, must awaken the Alliance of passivity.
Alliance vs Horde as usual
The narrative Producer Steve Danuser and Ely Cannon Lead Artist of World of Warcraft talked about the theme of the factions and their development.
The Horde is split between honor and cruelty: The Horde was split in the run-up. On the one hand, there are more "evil" members, such as the Forsaken. They are out for conquest and try to zoom in on your people – at any price. You're not afraid of the disease or mass destruction. Every means is right for the target. Discover new Horde empire.
On the other hand, the more honor-driven characters exist, such as Orcs or Tauren. You like opportunities not dishonorable behavior and cruel, as she plans to Sylvanas.
Both sides have always existed in the Horde. The developers "want to show, where both positions have their place in the Horde" – which is more than a homogeneous mixture. The individual Nations have drastically different views.
The Alliance must choose a path: The Alliance has taken in the past of World of Warcraft is always the role of the reactive side.
Horde acts and Alliance reacts
Now, after the fire of Teldrassil, you must consider the Alliance what it wants to do. She slips once more into passivity? Would the elves of the homeless night at all? Or the Alliance is trying to consolidate its position as the controlling party in Azeroth? Maybe the Alliance, which was otherwise always calm and collected, seeks, for the first Time on revenge.
A world without fractions, it is conceivable? On the question of whether World of Warcraft, even without the factions would work, one is rather skeptical. Many players identify with their side, have fought over a decade for Horde or Alliance. This identification, you can't just take – and that would not work from the point of view of the story.

Relegation not ruled out for 2017
AFL Barwon has refused to rule out demoting a poorly performing GFL club to the BFL in 2017 despite promotion-relegation not being slated for introduction until 2018 at the earliest.
Both restructure scenarios presented to the regions 34 clubs last night left the door open for the GFL and BFL to feature 11 teams in 2017.
In Option One, as part of what has been labelled "the repositioning phase", the AFL Barwon Commission will base it's decision on the following assessment;
"Has the club failed to meet the minimum criteria for their current division of competition?".
Under Option Two;
"Has the club failed to meet the minimum criteria for their current division of competition?"
"Did the club finish last or second last on the premiership ladder in the senior football competition?"
AFL Barwon boss Lee Hartman says the preferred option is for the status quo to remain in 2017, but wouldn't rule out the GFL and BFL both containing 11 teams.
"At the end of the day, we want to get to the end goal, as per our presentation, but make sure clubs can actually survive and be competitive," he said.
"If that's what it takes for one year, we would look at that if any club is still getting belted on the field."
There is also the option for a poorly performing BFL club to find itself in the GDFL next year.
"The AFL Barwon Commission have the ability to make any movement or speak to the stakeholders about those movements," Hartman said.
"It would be very unlikely that any movement would happen before the proposals in the presentation."
With a proposal fourth division set to feature just six teams if based on 34 clubs in the region, AFL Barwon is keen to see new senior clubs formed.
"Surf Coast Suns start juniors this year, so by the time promotion-relegation is up and running they may have a senior club there," Hartman said.
"It won't be long before Armstrong Creek have clubs running.
"It's just how quick they can get to seniors is probably the question.
"But at least now we have a structure where those new clubs can fit in."
Hartman says they wouldn't rule out clubs from outside the current structure joining the new set-up.
"No one's indicated it, but it's definitely a discussion we need to have," he said.
"There's some issues in the Colac and District league. Obviously a club (Forrest) has gone into recess.
"We want to make sure, if possible, they can come back, so a fourth division may suit that club.
"The GDFL, over time, has been approached by clubs out of the western (suburbs) region as well."
However, Hartman admits there are concerns about the viability of some current clubs.
"I think the criteria document will be a great document for them to read and understand, and get our (AFL Victoria) development managers in to help them," he said.
"Our development guys are already in there trying to work with them strategically, but now they actually have it in print where they need to improve if they're down in some areas.
"Definitely, we know not every club's at the same level across all three leagues – there's powerful clubs and clubs that are struggling."

Chicago's mayor and the city's police superintendent reacted angrily Tuesday to news that charges against actor Jussie Smollett were dropped, with both of them still calling Smollett's claim that he was attacked a "hoax."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the decision by the prosecutor a "whitewash of justice."
"From top to bottom, this is not on the level," the mayor said.
"You have a person using hate crime laws that are on the books" to promote himself, Emanuel said. "Is there no decency in this man?"
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said: "If you want to say you're innocent of the situation, you take your day in court. … I would never hide behind a brokered deal in secrecy, period."

What are hemorrhoids?
Men and women alike have hemorrhoids, they occur naturally in the body.
Hemorrhoids or "anal cushions" are a complex of blood vessels in the
anal canal. These cushions are part of the normal anatomy and are
thought to aid in defecation and assist in closing the anal canal.
Hemorrhoids are custom cushions where blood flows in and out to swell or
shrink the tissue to provide continence.
Over time these cushions can enlarge with straining or extended time
spent on the toilet which thins the overlying mucosa and produces
bleeding with bowel movements. As they continue to enlarge they can
prolapse or protrude from the anus.
Conservative treatment of hemorrhoids consists of educating patients on
the main causes of enlarged hemorrhoids and correcting them. Simple
treatments such as fiber therapy, taking all of the reading material out
of the bathroom, not straining to have a bowel movement and weight loss
can make a difference and allow patients to avoid surgery for their
* Increased straining during bowel movements
* Sitting too long during bowel movements
* Pregnancy - increased straining, hypertension, delivery
* Constipation and diarrhea
* Obesity
There are two types of hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids [3] and
external hemorrhoids [4]:
INTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS are inside the anal canal and generally do not
cause pain. The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bright
red blood - in the stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl.
Additionally, an internal hemorrhoid may form and prolapse outside the
anus and become irritated and painful. This is referred to as
"prolapsing" hemorrhoids.
PROLAPSED HEMORRHOIDS: These are internal hemorrhoids that are so
distended that they are pushed outside the anus. They may spontaneously
reduce or be manually reduced. If the prolapsed hemorrhoid cannot be
gently reduced, consult with a doctor to discuss the treatments.
* 1ST DEGREE: The hemorrhoids do not prolapse.
* 2ND DEGREE: The hemorrhoids prolapse upon defecation but
spontaneously reduce.
* 3RD DEGREE: The hemorrhoids prolapse upon defecation, but must be
manually reduced.
* 4TH DEGREE: The hemorrhoids are prolapsed and cannot be manually
THD is indicated for symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, degree 2nd, 3rd
and 4th.
EXTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS are found outside the anus. Some form blood clots,
bright red blood is seen on toilet paper or in the toilet after a bowel
movement and often a lump on the anus presents outside the body. With
external hemorrhoids, you may experience itching, bleeding and painful
In most cases, hemorrhoids go away on their own. It is important to
discuss all anorectal issues with a physician so they can diagnose the
problem correctly.
The level of treatment is based on the degree of the hemorrhoid [5]. THD
is indicated for symptomatic internal hemorrhoids, 2nd, 3rd and 4th
degrees.Consult a physician [6] to discuss the various treatment
* 1ST DEGREE: Because most hemorrhoids "shrink" or heal on their own,
conservative therapy will often reduce the symptoms. Lifestyle
alterations, dietary changes, topical ointments and mediations may be
needed. Additionally, sclerotherapy or infrared coagulation may be a
* 2ND DEGREE: Lifestyle alterations, dietary changes, topical
ointments and mediations may be needed. Sclerotherapy, infrared
coagulation, as well as, banding may be a benefit. Problematic II Degree
hemorrhoids may require hemorrhoidectomy or THD( tm ).
* 3RD DEGREE: Lifestyle alterations, dietary changes, topical
ointments and mediations may be needed. Additionally, they may require
hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidopexy or THD( tm ).
* 4TH DEGREE: Lifestyle alterations, dietary changes, topical ointments
and mediations may be needed. Additionally, they may require
hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidopexy or THD( tm ).
THD( tm ) uses a Doppler to locate the terminating branches of the
hemorrhoidal arteries. Once the artery is located the surgeon uses an
absorbable suture to ligate or "tie-off" the arterial blood flow. The
venous " out flow " remains to "shrink" the cushion. This is done without
excision of tissue. If necessary the surgeon will perform a
hemorrhoidopexy to repair the prolapse. Again, this is done with suture
and no excision of tissue. This repair restores and "lifts" the tissue
back to its anatomical position.
The entire procedure is performed above the dentate line so that there
is minimal discomfort. The procedure takes about 20 minutes and is
offered as an out-patient surgery.

All Critics (36) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (22) | Rotten (14)
None of Hell on Wheels' juicy eruptions of pulp or sporadic glimpses of soul impedes the myth-belching progress of a story about the little engine of empire that could.
Hell on Wheels is a big and ambitious stab at the genre, with a lot going on and much to recommend.
A dark, complex and intense drama about a group of damaged people who come together after the Civil War to help build the Transcontinental Railroad.
Solid cast, intriguing premise, and - best of all - the Old West.
The characters - including Meaney's monster - are promising, the racial tensions are bracing, and the atmosphere is transporting.

The Golden Era of the World
The Muslim community is a community that is misunderstood at the greatest. It is thought the the only Gift that the Muslims provided to the world is "Terrorism". Western History books have been ripped from the rich culture of Islam. Professors have been reluctant to attribute any discovery or invention to Muslims. As stated even by Prince Charles-
"If there is much misunderstanding in the West about the nature of Islam, there is also much ignorance about the debt our own culture and civilisation owe to the Islamic world. It is a failure, which stems, I think, from the straight-jacket of history, which we have inherited. The medieval Islamic world, from central Asia to the shores of the Atlantic, was a world where scholars and men of learning flourished. But because we have tended to see Islam as the enemy of the West, as an alien culture, society, and system of belief, we have tended to ignore or erase its great relevance to our own history." Prince Charles, lecture at Oxford University.
The powerful Anti-Muslim Extremist Lobby that prevails around the world, through a Proxy, are busy distorting the Image of Islam and its follower Muslims. It is trying day and night through its powerful Media Power that the only word that comes to our mind with the word "Muslims" and "Islam" is "Terrorism".
But due to the efforts of some Noble People, the rich history of Islam has failed do be deleted .As the truth will always prevail.
Many Education systems teach that the world civilisation scientifically passed through, Greeks Era (BC), Romans Era(500 AD), Dark Ages (600-1600 AD) Renaissance(1600 AD), Industrial Revolution (1800/1900 AD), Modern Civilisation (2000-). "Dark Ages" is the word some corrupt historians say, they say for 1000 years nothing happened, No discovery, No Invention, No Progress ,Every Body was somehow mentally dead their brains stop working. Yes that can be said for the Western Civilisation which was asleep during this time,but it cannot be said at al for World Civlisation, because across the western countries something else was happening.(Source)
610 AD, the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad By Allah(God), the only book who's content has not been altered or changed a bit for more then 1400 years, and the book has been learnt by-heart, word to word by millions of Muslims. This Book that was revealed verse by verse in almost 23 years, explained us each and every aspect of the way our life should be, the way our life should not be. It even explained many advanced scientific facts, Including, The Origin of the Universe, Human Embryonic,Purpose of Mountains, Origin of Rainand many other scientific and mathematical facts .It would take hundreds of pages to write about them so to read and confirm yourself, buy a Copy of Quran. This Un-edited book is for eternity.
During the next centuries when the west was asleep many remarkable developments took place including Discovery of Pulmonary Circulation,First Complete Medical Encyclopedia, First successful surgeries, Founding of chemistry, Founding of algebra,Discovery of the laws of refraction, Determination of the Solar Year. There are many more discoveries that took place during the 6th-16th century that shaped up the world immensely. You can find about more discoveries by reading the biographies of famous Scientists. After you will read about the discoveries that took place between 6th-16th century by Muslims, you will have no doubt in saying that 6th-16th century was The Muslims Era in fact undoubtedly it was the Golden Era of the World.
Apart from Science, Islam have produced Great number of Leaders, that shaped our history. Among these leaders were also some Muslims warriors that defeated the crusaders one after another, ,captured and ruled the vast piece of the world for centuries. Some of these warriors were never ever defeated till they lived. Other leaders include head of political parties, personalities who released their country from the grip of Invaders and some who lead their country to prosperity, The historians have been reluctant to point to these great Leaders. However historian have been very efficient in pointing out some of the "Evil" minded leaders that lived. But Unlike some of the black sheep Historians we have taken a balanced approach and have also mentioned Great as well as some "Evil" Leaders like Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden.
Scholars are the part of society that shape the society at the most. There teachings are the corner stone of World Stability and Peace. And Muslim Scholars have undoubtedly played their role utter- mostly. These scholars have helped bring different religious communities together for the purpose of Peace And harmony. They have even openly challenged any one who can prove that there is any book that Emphasises the message of Peace And Harmony more then Quran. Many have tried to challenge but have failed in open debates that have taken place.
We can say that it is true that the advances of Muslims have decreased in the past centuries due to Muslim's be-wilderness from education that is needed to understand their own religion. However the situation is not worst as portrayed by the powerful extremist Anti-Muslim Lobby, and this website is a try to show a balanced view of the Muslim People. - http://famousmuslims.com/
(The aim of this site is to introduce people of all Faiths, Colour, Gender and Age to the Famous personalities of the Muslim Community. It is also First site ever to present online biographies of Muslims relating to different fields including Scholars, leaders, scientists and sports person on a single site).
