Oman Air will be attending the 41st Annual General Meeting of The Arab Air Carriers Organization (AACO) to be held in Tunisia this month. Mr. Peter Hill, Oman Air's CEO will be heading a high-level delegation to the meetings. AACO, which was established in 1965 within the framework of the Arab League of States, aims at promoting cooperation among Arab airlines and serve their common interest through service excellence. An important event for the airline industry, AACO AGM is attended by Arab and International air transport industry leaders. The official opening ceremony of the AGM will be held on the night of 21 October 2008 at "Kobbat Al Nohas", an old seat of the Bey of Tunis. The ceremony will see a Senior Government Official addressing the audience, in addition to AACO President, Mr. Nabil Chettaoui, and AACO Secretary General, Mr. Abdul Wahab Teffaha. The event which will be concluded on the 23rd of October will be punctuated with meetings, working session, discussions and joint sessions, addressing some of the crucial issues impacting the industry. In the past AACO has been instrumental in arriving at many joint decisions and action plans that have been beneficial to the member airlines. One such initiative of AACO which Oman Air was also a joint project member in was the Fuel Purchasing Programme.
Peter Hill, Oman Air's CEO gave notice that AACO member airlines will have a closed session to decide on several strategic, financial and administrative issues, AACO secretariat general work and the joint issues related to member airlines. Hill said that one of the important highlight of this year's event is the Discussion Panel which will have industry dignitaries and experts taking part and referred to as the 'Joint Aviation Forum' under the theme: "An Expanded Role of Arab Aviation: Challenges and Opportunities". The steady growth posted by the Arab airlines and industry he added, have been the focal point of many global airline companies.
Like in the previous year, the Assembly will also receive a speech by Mr. Giovanni Bisignani, Director General, and CEO of IATA, who will present the keynote address. Oman Air, which is an active member of AACO, takes a very proactive role in the various crucial discussions held as part of the AGM. This year's AACO meeting will pay special tributes to the late Ziad Al Haremi, ex-CEO of Oman Air. It may be noted that the late, Ziad Bin Karim Al Haremi who headed Oman Air's delegation to AACO's 40th AGM, was elected as a member of AACO's Executive Committee.
Oman Air's Corporate Communications and Media of Oman Air adds: "The volume of passengers using the Arab carriers, also the volume of passengers using the airports in the Arab states beside the volume of cargo to the Arab states have been steadily increasing, making it imperative for the rest of the world to look upon the strategies used and facilities offered by the Arab airlines. They concluded affirming that the contribution of AACO in jointly addressing the issues facing the Arab carriers and arriving at a beneficial solution, provides a great impact to the growth of Arab carriers."

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Conseil du Contentieux des étrangers (Belgium) lodged on 10 September 2019 — X v État belge
(Case C-671/19)
Language of the case: French
Referring court
Conseil du Contentieux des étrangers
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: X
Defendant: État belge
Questions referred
Is the statement contained in Article 34(5) of Directive 2016/801 1 that the appeal provided for in that article is to be organised 'in accordance with national law' to be interpreted as meaning that it is for the national legislature alone to determine the procedural rules governing that appeal, without the national court being required to verify whether those rules are consistent with the right to an effective remedy within the meaning of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union?
(a) If the answer to the first question is in the negative, must the appeal provided for in Article 34(5) of Directive 2016/801, in order to be effective within the meaning of Article 47 of the Charter, include a possibility of having access in all cases to an exceptional appeal procedure, conducted as a matter of extreme urgency, where the person concerned demonstrates that he has exercised all due diligence and that compliance with the time limits imposed in order to conduct an ordinary procedure could hamper the pursuit of the studies in question?
(b) If the answer to that question is in the negative, must the same negative answer be given where failure to adopt a decision in a short period of time risks causing the person concerned irretrievably to lose a year of study?
If the answer to part (a) or part (b) of the second question is in the affirmative, is the national court required to give preference to an interpretation of the law which is consistent with the purpose of Directive 2016/801 in order to arrive at a solution compatible with the objective pursued by that directive, by agreeing to examine as a matter of extreme urgency an application for suspension of enforcement of a decision as referred to in Article 20 of that directive, even though the travaux préparatoires for the law might suggest that that was not the legislature's intention?
If the answer to the first question is in the negative, does the appeal referred to in Article 34(5) of Directive 2016/801 require the Member States, in order to comply with Article 47 of the Charter, to provide that, in certain circumstances, the court may order the authority to issue the visa?

Authors Thomas McLellan, Ph.D., and Herbert D. Kleber, M.D., conducted a literature review of those illnesses, revealing that there are underlying similarities between drug addiction, alcohol addiction and chronic diseases. Yet, say the researchers, drug addiction is typically treated as if it is an acute condition. Altering perceptions to think of drug addiction as a chronic illness may change the way it is treated and insured.
The researchers found that drug addiction and alcoholism shares many of the characteristics of other chronic illnesses. In the area of genetic heritability, for example, studies of monozygotic and dizygotic twins have found heritability estimates of .25 to .50 for hypertension; .80 for type 2 and .30 for type 1 diabetes; and .36 to .70 for asthma. Heritability estimates for the drug addictions are similar, ranging from .34 for heroin dependence, .55 for alcoholism, .52 for marijuana dependence, and .61 for dependence on cigarettes.
Typically, both medical professionals and the general public view drug abuse as voluntary activities. That people choose to use drugs seems to set drug addiction and alcohol adidiction apart from other chronic illnesses. Yet, there are many chronic illnesses in which voluntary choice affects initiation and maintenance of disease. Salt sensitivity, obesity, stress level, and physical inactivity, all within voluntary control, are important factors in the development of hypertension.
Drug addiction and alcoholism also resembles other chronic illnesses in regard to treatment response. The course that an drug addiction takes if left untreated is an important issue in this regard. Studies comparing treated and untreated populations of addicts have typically shown that untreated, addictions do not remit.
At this time there is no reliable "cure" for drug addiction and alcohol addiction. Typically, addicts who remain in addiction treatment and who attend follow-up have superior outcomes compared with those who do not. If you are looking for an effective drug addiction treatment program or alcohol rehab, call the national addiction treatment helpline, 1-800-511-9225 or go to www.lakeviewhealth.com.

I came across this image from D Magazine earlier this summer and stumbled upon it again this afternoon and it got me thinking. What are your thoughts on such a massive, all-encompassing headboard? Given the layout of the room and the fact that there are no real walls to anchor the room, I can certainly see why Jan Showers opted for such a large headboard angled in such a way. Would you have taken the same approach? I have to say, I absolutely love the subdued color palette and the fact that it doesn't detract from the amazing views. But back to the question at hand, do you love the layout or would you leave it?

Love it!! And I agree about the colors...pretty and not distracting!

I think for this room -- clearly in a high rise building with windows all around -- it is FANTASTIC. It looks like a great place to watch some TV at night, read a book, or even curl up for a nap and enjoy the afternoon sunlight. Love it!

I think it is quite an ingenious solution to creating a bit of privacy within a "glass box"...while maintaining a sense of openness.
- August 17, 2010 at 2:02 PM
- Ariane said...
Um, LOVE IT!
- August 17, 2010 at 2:09 PM
- Chrissa said...
Normally, I'd hate it.
But in this giant, expanse of a room, it needs the feel of some cozy and of an actual "room" where there kind of isn't one.
I love it. The color, the styling, the accesories. Everything about it.
- August 17, 2010 at 2:12 PM
- Sara said...
I have to say I think I like it!! It makes a very open space seem a bit more cozy!! Love the colors!!
- August 17, 2010 at 2:38 PM
- melifaif said...
I think it works in the space. I kinda like it...even for my Houston/Cypress home!

Love it.

In this space I love it. The open layout and the views are amazing. I love how this makes the bed area cozy without losing any of that!
- August 17, 2010 at 2:53 PM
I love it. I think it creates a bit of cozy and privacy in a very open room. I definitely would not have picked this layout on my own but it looks fabulous!
- August 17, 2010 at 3:07 PM
- Decor To Adore said...
I think this is a perfect solution when faced with a wall of windows. It afford the sleeper the luxury of a plush cocoon.
- August 17, 2010 at 3:18 PM
- Mango Gal said...
I love it! The headboard almost creates its own little room in such an open space.
- August 17, 2010 at 3:29 PM
- Hello Lover... said...
Love the colors - not a fan of this large headboard angled in this space though - sure it gives them some privacy I guess, but I think the whole allure of a home like that is all the floor to ceiling windows.
- August 17, 2010 at 3:41 PM
- EAC said...
Love the way it looks. But I would never watch HBO again...the entire world would see whatever smut was on that TV!
- August 17, 2010 at 4:13 PM
PLEASE tell us what the side tables are! I've been looking for something like this for a year and these are PERFECT!!!
- August 17, 2010 at 4:22 PM
- Elise Lowerison said...
This room is stunning, but I do understand why she would choose such a massive headboard. Seeing how there are such large windows and nothing to enclose you from view when in bed, this headboard acts as somewhat of shield from sight. But what about the use of beautiful window treatments not to block out the light, but merely add privacy to an intimate room such as a bedroom. I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty. Thank you for writing and as a special thanks to you and your readers, I would like to offer a 20% off coupon using this code upon checkout: BLG20.

I think it's a rather brilliant application, to take such an open space, and create a little nook of a bedroom with that grand headboard. Love it!
- August 17, 2010 at 5:07 PM
- MaryBeth said...
I love the headboard but I would never angle the bed, it seems to be floating with no real connection to the left side of the room. Maybe there is a desk back there that I don't see.
- August 17, 2010 at 6:06 PM
- Samantha Hutchinson said...
I looooove the color of the headboard and the big windows.
- August 17, 2010 at 7:04 PM
- DecRenew Interiors said...
Perfect in every way!
- August 17, 2010 at 7:54 PM
- Julie Holloway said...
Love it! Makes the room more intimate (and, hey, when you're watching movie in bed, late at night, that tall headboard blocks the lights from outside. Practical, too!)
- August 17, 2010 at 8:03 PM
- JessTiede said...
I love the headboard in this situation because it adds privacy without distracting from the view. However, it leaves me wondering...what's behind it?
- August 17, 2010 at 8:05 PM
didn't john saladino show shelter sofas about 20 years ago?
wing chairs and settles have been around for hundreds of years, for draft protection, but also to satisfy a need to feel safe and enclosed.
especially now with areas of great glass windows and tall buildings, there's an urge for a bit of cocooning. this is a lovely solution to the need.
thanks for showing this, paloma.
- August 17, 2010 at 8:33 PM
I think it's absolutely beautiful. As others have said, it anchors the space in a room that appears almost without borders. Plus, the color works really well. I also love that they have put it on the bias of the room. Gorgeous.
- August 17, 2010 at 9:27 PM
- Leslie Hassler said...
I love the headboard, but I sure hope there are some shades on those windows. Nothing like rising with the birds.
I'd like it to visit, but maybe not to stay.
- August 17, 2010 at 10:46 PM
- Liza said...
It works in this room, but I still don't think I would do it myself.
- August 17, 2010 at 11:08 PM
- Saara {www.varv.ca} said...
I LOVE it and think it's such a great solution to this open space. Is the backside closed off? I can't tell if there is an awkward triangle of space left, or if it is angled where both ends touch glass.
- August 17, 2010 at 11:31 PM
- leni said...
definitely love it!
- August 18, 2010 at 12:07 AM
- Jennifer and Austin said...
As many people have commented, we can see why she did it, and it does "function" as a way to get some coziness and privacy...But we don't think it "works." For one, based on that photo, it doesn't look like there are any building anywhere near there, so why the need for such privacy? And, if we lived in a place that had such great open views, we would certainly WANT to see them from bed, not orient the view away from there.
Having said that, the funny thing is that the furnishings and color scheme of the space look VERY similar to the style of design work that we do...Except that our projects are in the Hamptons, not in a modern high-rise apartment!
- August 18, 2010 at 8:33 AM
I'm going to have to disagree with everyone here. While I will say that the furniture selections and color palette are quite pretty, the oversized headboard makes this look like a bedding display in a furniture store. It also distracts from what should be the focal pointof the room - the view. Creating privacy and coziness in spaces this open can be challenging, but I don't think this is the way to go about it.
- August 18, 2010 at 9:14 AM
- Sheryl and Ben said...
I really like it. Only because the room is so big, the colors aren't loud and the floor to ceiling windows make it feel that much bigger. When my husband an I bought our house the person before us had a massive headboard that took up the entire back wall. It was way too big and an eye sore. I really think that Jan Showers did a great job.
- August 18, 2010 at 10:34 AM
- Linda Terpstra said...
Stunning headboard! But, in this space NO. Too big and bossy for the otherwise airy, floating quality of the space. I would have addressed the obvious privacy issie with window treatments. Also, not a fan of the diagonal placement. I always want to straighten things out when I see this! Awesome credenza/cabinet and I love the softness of the room against the raw industrial view.
- August 18, 2010 at 10:42 AM
- Alexandra said...
LOVE! How could you not. =)
- August 18, 2010 at 11:22 AM
- ashlina {the decorista} said...
obvi i am in love with it, but what really got me was the light fixture...so glam.
- August 18, 2010 at 1:53 PM
- Diana said...
Love, love , love it!!! This is the exact vision I have when we buy our house. I love the nice crisp colors and everything has a clean airy feel. I bought this very magazine and saved it!
- August 19, 2010 at 9:42 AM
- Averill said...
I'm OK with the layout, but I would DEFINITELY want floor-to-ceiling curtains for some privacy/light control!
- August 20, 2010 at 1:37 PM
actually i would love to see the actual city view while i'm in bed so i would move it toward where the camera is taking the picture from...lovely pallete for sure though..very calming
- August 20, 2010 at 8:24 PM
- Unknown said...
I really like. Although it depends on the arrangement and colors of the pieces, this one is pretty on key. You're right that it also doesn't distract from the view.

Silicon Valley's Stock Funk
Sliding shares of newly public Internet companies are depressing employees—and their finances—after years of long hours and high expectations.
Rank-and-file workers at four of the highest profile Internet companies that began selling shares in the past 16 months have collectively lost about $9 billion on paper since their initial public offerings, according to calculations by compensation researcher Equilar Inc. and The Wall Street Journal.
Most of that decline—$7.2 billion—is at Facebook Inc. The average nonexecutive Facebook employee remains enviably flush, holding stock or stock options valued at an average of roughly $2.5 million as of Friday.

Greensburg 6 case ends as final suspects plead guilty in woman's death
Peggy Miller, Robert Masters plead guilty to third-degree murder in Jennifer Daugherty's slaying
Robert Masters and Peggy Miller stood before a Westmoreland County judge Thursday and admitted they were guilty for participating in the torture and murder of Jennifer Daugherty, along with four others.
Masters and Miller each pleaded guilty to third-degree murder under a deal with prosecutors to dismiss first- and second-degree murder charges.
"We're hoping it is really the end," said Daugherty's sister, Joy Burkholder, who has spent nearly four years listening to details of her sister's vicious killing as the various defendants have gone through the court system.
Greensburg police said Daugherty, 30, was killed at a Pennsylvania Avenue apartment in February 2010 and her body was dumped in a parking lot at Greensburg Salem Middle School.

Miller and Masters were the last of the six defendants -- the so-called "Greensburg 6" -- to face a judge. Ricky Smyrnes and Melvin Knight are on death row, Angela Marinucci is serving a life sentence, and Amber Meidinger has been sentenced to 40 to 80 years after taking a deal to testify against some of the others.
Daugherty's family hopes that the guilty pleas from Masters and Miller will help them heal.
"We've been asked for the past three years, when all these trials are over and they come to a conclusion, 'Will we have closure?' We won't have closure. We'll have justice for Jennifer," said Daugherty's stepfather, Bobby Murphy. "Closure will be if Jennifer could come back to the family and be with us."
Judge Rita Hathaway will sentence Masters and Miller within 90 days. They each face 50 to 100 years in prison.

Though most people did not really need maps when traveling on foot or horseback, as they usually followed already well-known paths and roads, cartography was extremely useful in the field of sea travel, as there were often no orientation points for thousands of miles and one could get lost very easily if he did not know how to determine his position with enough accuracy. Same process as when mapping land areas applies when measuring the length and relative angle of a distance traveled marine vessel, however, it is much more difficult to do it accurately, therefore distortions happen easily.
Mapping land regions from within was exceptionally accurate even in ancient times mainly because one could determine walking distances with a very high degree of accuracy. It was also often possible to create a very detailed and accurate map of more than a hundred square miles of land in a very short time just by climbing on a mountain of a decent height and looking around. This map of Europe was drawn in 200 AD by Ptolemy, and similar accuracies were not achieved in medieval Europe until about 14th century.
However, on the open sea, there are no discernible landforms one could peg his location to, and therefore determining the location of a ship on a latitude and longitude grid was always the only way to accurely estimate the distances between different continents and archipelagos. And this is difficult. So difficult, in fact, that it wasn't until 1762 when the longitude relative to the Prime Meridian could finally be measured for the first time within a margin of error of 1 arc minute (±1 nautical mile), using a state-of-art chronometer H4, manufactured by John Harrison, who received an 18th century equivalent of a Nobel Prize because of it. However, these clocks remained quite expensive for a long time, and decreased below the sum of the annual wages of a skilled worker few years after Napoleon was exiled to St.Helena.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, now back at Stanford, tells the Sacramento Bee that California ballot initiatives are often too complicated for her to understand:
"Every time I vote in California, and the whole referendum process, I really have my reservations about it. Because I tell you, I think I'm an informed voter, and I sometimes have to read the measures six or seven times, and then sometimes I still don't understand them."
She's right. Ballot initiatives have grown longer and more complicated over the years. And even if you understand what the initiative says, you probably don't understand what its impact will be -- because initiatives often conflict with existing laws and constitutional amendments, producing results that are very difficult to predict.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Rice, to her credit, has tried to do something about this. She served on the Think Long Committee, the group convened by billionaire Nicolas Berggruen to study California's troubles. Among Think Long's recommendations are several changes to the initiative process (a brave step, since most other would-be reformers have avoided offering fixes to what remains a very popular process). Among these changes are several proposals that would give voters more and perhaps better information about initiatives, their sponsors and their possible impact on the state.
There are other ideas out there that might make things easier for voters that didn't get Think Long's endorsement. Among the most intriguing are limits on the length of initiatives and a requirement initiatives should carry party labels -- to give voters a clue about whether their political party backs a particular measure.

Leading businesses ― especially those in R&D and other creative, demanding fields ― know that their success depends on attracting, motivating and retaining the best professionals. Because once you get the best people working for you, winning in the marketplace is easy.
The race to attract the most talented workforce is just as fierce as the battle against competing firms in the market. And, just as offering the cheapest price for your product does not guarantee that you will beat the competition, offering the highest salary is no guarantee that you will get the best talents. Because the best are interested in more than just money. They are interested in challenges, in high performance, and in being recognized for their achievements. Moreover, for them working environment makes a big difference.

Circle is located at the end of the Steese Highway on the Yukon River, 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle, and 161 miles from Fairbanks.
Population: 99
Originally named Circle City, because the early miners thought it was located on the Arctic Circle, the town began as a supply point to the new gold diggings on Birch Creek in 1893, and grew as a hub for various gold camps in the Interior. Circle City was the largest gold mining town on the Yukon River, before the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 created Dawson City, YT.
Today, Circle serves a small local population and visitors coming in by highway or by river. There's a lot of summer river traffic here: many Yukon River travelers put in and take out at Circle.
Gas, groceries, snacks and sundries are available at the H.C. Company Store, which also has the only gas/diesel in town. Free camping available at unmaintained parking area alongside the Yukon River.
- The old Pioneer Cemetery, with its markers dating back to the 1800s, is an interesting spot to visit.
- Dip your toes in the Yukon, Alaska's largest river. The 2,000-mile river heads in Canada and flows west into Norton Sound on the Bering Sea.

If you have ever slept on an arm and awakened with a 'dead' hand, or sat too long with your legs crossed and had your foot fall asleep, you have some inkling of what many people with peripheral neuropathy experience day in and day out, often with no relief in sight.
And numbness and tingling are hardly the worst symptoms of this highly variable condition, which involves damage to one or more of the myriad nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Effects may include disabling pain, stinging, swelling, burning, itching, muscle weakness, twitching, loss of sensation, hypersensitivity to touch, lack of coordination, difficulty breathing, digestive disorders, dizziness, impotence, incontinence, and even paralysis and death.
I realise now that I had a mild, reversible bout of peripheral neuropathy several decades ago when a misplaced shot of morphine damaged a sensory nerve in my thigh. It took three years for the nerve to recover, and for much of that time I could not tolerate anything brushing against my leg.
One of my sons, too, was afflicted when a nerve behind his knee was injured during a basketball game. He had no feeling or mobility in his foot for nine months, but after several years the nerve healed and he regained full use of his foot.
And a good friend was nearly paralysed, also temporarily, following a flu shot, by a far more serious form of peripheral neuropathy — an autoimmune affliction called Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which one's own antibodies attack the myelin sheath that protects nerves throughout the body.
There are hundreds of forms of peripheral neuropathy. A medical guide describing them, compiled by a team of neurologists at the behest of the Neuropathy Association, fills a booklet the size of a two-year wall calendar.
The association, which sponsors research and provides education and support for patients and families dealing with peripheral neuropathy, estimates that the disorder afflicts more than 20 million Americans at any given time. If the cause can be corrected, peripheral nerves can regenerate slowly and patients can recover, although not always completely.
But many people never recover. They must learn to live with the disorder, with the help of treatments and devices that can ease their discomfort and disability. With such a wide array of symptoms and causes, getting a correct diagnosis is often a challenge. Worse, frustrated patients are sometimes told, "It's all in your head."
Causes behind ailment
There are three types of peripheral nerves: sensory nerves, which transmit sensations like pain, touch, heat and cold; motor nerves, which control the action of muscles throughout the body; and autonomic nerves, which regulate functions that are not under conscious control, like blood pressure, digestion and heart rate. Symptoms of neuropathy depend on what nerves are involved.
Someone with damaged sensory nerves might not feel heat, for example, and could be scalded by an overly hot bath. Neuropathy of the motor nerves can result in weakness, lack of coordination or paralysis; neuropathy of the autonomic nerves can lead to high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, diarrhea or constipation, impotence and incontinence.
The list of possible causes of neuropathy is far too long for this column. They include inherited conditions like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; infections or inflammatory disorders like hepatitis, Lyme disease, AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus; organ diseases like diabetes, hypothyroidism and kidney disease; exposure to toxic substances like industrial solvents, heavy metals, sniffed glue and some cancer drugs; trauma to or pressure on a nerve from an injury, cast, crutches, abnormal body position, repetitive motion, tumour or abnormal bone growth; alcoholism; and deficiency of vitamin B12.
The most common cause, accounting for nearly a third of neuropathy cases, is diabetes, especially among those whose blood sugar levels are poorly controlled. Half of all people with diabetes eventually begin to lose sensation and develop pain and sometimes weakness in their feet and hands. In people with diabetes, even minor injuries to the feet, if not quickly and properly treated, can result in gangrene and amputations.
In nearly a third of cases, no cause is ever found, leaving patients with no other recourse than treatment of their symptoms.
Suspected cases are best referred to a neurologist, who should begin by taking a complete personal and family medical history and performing a physical and neurological examination, checking on reflexes, muscle strength and tone, sensations, balance and coordination.
A complete workup is likely to include blood tests, urinalysis, a nerve conduction study and electronic measurements of muscle activity. Imaging studies, like a CT scan or an MRI, may reveal a tumour, vertebral damage or abnormal bone growth. In some cases, a nerve or muscle biopsy may be done.
Relief and restoration
If the underlying cause cannot be corrected, the goals of treatment are relief of symptoms and restoration of lost functions. Pain control is paramount. Effective relief may come from over-the-counter remedies or a lidocaine patch but sometimes requires prescribed opiates.
Many with neuropathic pain have benefited from drugs licensed for other uses, including antiseizure medications like gabapentin, topiramate (Topamax) and pregabalin (Lyrica) and antidepressants like the tricyclic amitriptyline and the selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor duloxetine (Cymbalta). Vitamin B12 deficiency can be treated with supplements and fortified cereals or by judicious consumption of meats, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products.
And since alcohol and tobacco are particularly risky for people with neuropathy, or a health problem that predisposes them to it, they have every reason to quit smoking and to drink only in moderation.
Many patients are helped by physical therapy, occupational therapy and devices like braces, splints and wheelchairs. Railings on stairways and in the bathroom, elimination of tripping hazards like scatter rugs, and improved lighting (including night-lights) can reduce the risk of falls. For those insensitive to heat, a thermometer should be used to test water in a tub, shower or sink. Orthopedic shoes are invaluable to patients with lost sensitivity in their feet or impaired balance.
A variety of mechanical aids can make it easier to live with peripheral neuropathy, among them kitchen tools made by Oxo. Those with digestive problems might try eating small frequent meals and sleeping with their heads elevated.
Other helpful sources include the book 'Peripheral Neuropathy: When the Numbness, Weakness and Pain Won't Stop' ('Demos Health', 2006), by Dr Norman Latov. The association maintains a list of support groups and of centres that specialise in diagnosing and treating neuropathy.

Indian Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap: 'Piracy Helps Deliver The Filmmaker's Message To The Masses'
from the Kashyap-has-never-seen-a-half-empty-glass-in-his-life deptThere have been plenty of artists inside and outside the system recognizing that, yeah, it sucks to not get paid for every copy of your work, but on the bright side, at least people are watching/listening/reading. Hit
Contrast that with this statement from Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who works in a country where piracy is omnipresent, rather than just an over-inflated set of numbers to wave at easily impressed Congressmen:
While chatting about his experiences in Kanpur, where he's spent some part of his life while he was studying for the IIT entrance test, the topic veers to the menace of piracy in Indian cinema. But surprisingly, Anurag is one of the few filmmakers who feel that piracy is justified. "Main aaj jo kuch hoon, piracy ki wajah se hi hoon. It was through pirated versions of my movies that people got to see my work," he says and goes on to elaborate, "I feel that cinema is something that should reach the maximum number of people. If the audience does not get to see affordable cinema, it will turn to cheaper, pirated entertainment."Unlike the hysteria we're used to, often conflated with knockoff fire extinguishers and child pornography, Anurag views piracy as more than simply a necessary evil, but an actual necessity. That is, if your aim is to have your work seen by as many people as possible. Obviously, if your aim instead is to do everything in your power to make sure that every set of eyeballs that come in contact with your work have paid upfront, then you'll take a much dimmer view of file sharing.
Anurag's not done yet, either:
"If we want to see a successful Hollywood today, often we have to take the help of piracy because it's not necessary that that film is legally available in your city. That's why filmmakers need to understand that their work should reach more and more people, because today cinema is not all about entertainment. In fact, I feel that we filmmakers should use cinema as a tool to make a strong impact on society. And if people are watching such meaningful cinema through piracy, I believe it only helps to deliver the filmmaker's message to the masses."All very good points. First and foremost: sometimes you don't have a legal option because of licensing issues, regional blocking, "you people are all pirates," GEMA wants its cut, etc. But beyond the logistics is the fact that if you're an artist and you want to have an impact on people, it behooves you to get your creations in front of as many people as possible.
Here's a filmmaker working in a country where piracy is an absolute given, so much so that the government has taken some very surprising steps in an effort to curb it, including blocking file lockers and video sites at the ISP level. And yet, despite massive infringement, all he sees is the upside. He's doing this for a living and yet he's not loudly wondering where his boom mike operator will get his next meal or saying something asinine about a future full of cat videos, all the while attempting to recast record box office receipts as the Fifth Horseman of the Creative Apocalypse.
And before you write off Kashyap as just some dude you've never heard of from somewhere else, here's a brief recap of his work (via the Wiki):
As a filmmaker, he is known for Black Friday (2004), a controversial and award-winning Hindi film about the 1993 Bombay bombings, followed by No Smoking (2007), Dev D (2009) Gulaal (2009) That Girl in Yellow Boots (2011) and Gangs of Wasseypur (2012).It seems that those who value their own work as art over commerce are the ones who see how file sharing can pay dividends in the long run. Those who tend to view their work as a P&L sheet can only see the negative. You don't have to like or condone piracy to see the possible upside. Kashyap almost seems to view it as a distribution system that reaches places he can't, free of charge. Hollywood, however, seems to be too busy playing the victim to draw that same conclusion.
As a screenwriter, he wrote the scripts for the Filmfare Award-winning Satya (1998) and the Academy Award-nominated Canadian film Water (2005).
In 1999, Kashyap won the Best Screenplay award for Satya at the Star Screen Awards. The next year, his short film Last Train to Mahakali won the Special Jury Award at the same awards. His feature film debut Black Friday won the Grand Jury Prize at the 3rd Annual Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (2005), and was a nominee for the "Golden Leopard" (Best Film) at the 57th Locarno International Film Festival (2004).
He was listed on the The DNA power list: Top 50 influentials, a list of 50 most influential Indians in 2011. Kashyap currently serves on the board of Mumbai-based NGO, Aangan Trust, which helps protect vulnerable children around India.

Space Cowboys
DOP JACK N.GREEN In 1958, four hot shot test pilots seem certain to be the first men to go into outer space. However, the back-stabbing leader of their organization disbands them to prevent their involvement in the then forming NASA and labels them as non-team players. Flash forward to the present, the foursome are now living a docile life. The electrical engineer has a pleasant retired life in a desert home with his wife. The pilot, who had a penchant for pushing the test planes to their limits, is now a daredevil crop-duster. The navigator is a Baptist minister. The designer is a womanizing roller coaster designer. Their former boss is now a mission leader in Nasa and still as despicable as in his younger days. It is here that the main story begins. It seems that an old Russian "communications" satellite is about to crash back into the Earth's atmosphere and somehow American technology designed by Eastwood's character has ended up as the guiding system...

Truth and Error: A Necessary Collision"But the peculiar evil in silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation: those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth; if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."

Didn't think any more money or plot juice could possibly be squeezed out of the Paranormal Activity franchise? Well, think again! In the new trailer for Paranormal Activity 4, it's all the same ghostly gags, but now with a very young girl wearing small shorts! And we're all uncomfortable!
PA4 technically picks up where the second movie left off, as the third film was an origin story (and actually pretty good). Katie killed her husband, and her sister's family and made off with their baby Hunter. Now she and Hunter (now named Robbie) have resurfaced to bring more hell to eggshell-painted condos throughout America. But I think the real sticking point here is that all of these found footage movies are "found."
The origin story was a collection of VHS tapes, the original was also all supposedly in the cameras and computers found at the scene — so how the hell is this footage captured? What person records all of their nonsense Skype sessions? Is this a teenage thing that we're just too old to understand? Mayhaps. Ah well, nothing will ever top the rotating-camera-on-a-fan gag from PA3. PA4 will hit theaters on October 19.

Slayer Launch Reign in Blood Red Wine
Slayer's music is certainly meant to be consumed with an accompanying libation. So it's no surprise that the band has launched its very own brand of wine, much like Motorhead and AC/DC before them. The first beverage in the brand is Slayer Reign in Blood Red. The Cabernet Sauvignon from California is available solely in Sweden right now, so it's not like you can cruise on over to the local liquor retailer to nab a bottle for dinner. Yet.
Reign in Blood Red features dark berry fruits and spicy, oak flavors. What could go better with 'Angel of Death,' 'Mandatory Suicide' or 'Dead Skin Mask' than a nice, tall glass of Reign in Blood Red? It's not lost on us that the band chose red wine as opposed to white for its first foray into the liquor realm.
Rock band-branded wines are popping up with increasing frequency and it's a smart association, reaching the fans in a totally different way. Besides, what looks cooler on the table than a tall, sleek bottle of wine with a Slayer logo stamped prominently on the front of it?
Go here to check out more details on Reign in Blood Red and to order if you can't wait to toss some back.

|[Jpost] Paleostinian Authority security forces in the West Bank have nabbed
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
members of a new terrorist group who recently declared the beginning of a third intifada against Israel.
In a video posted on Youtube last month, nine masked men from Hebron declared the establishment of a new group called the Brigades of National Unity and called for a third intifada.
A front man for the group vowed to pursue the fight against Israel until the liberation of all of Paleostine, "from the river to the sea."
He said that the group has decided to launch the third intifada against Israel from the heart of Hebron so that it would expand to the rest of the Paleostinian territories.
The front man also threatened that his group would kidnap IDF soldiers and other Israelis "if Israel continued to kill and arrest" Paleostinians.

- Author(s):
- U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Geography Division
- Description:
- This datalayer represents tangible physical features throughout the state. These features are neither transportation nor hydrographic in nature but may be used to determine boundary lines. The predominant Feature Codes in this layer are E00 (Physical feature, major and minor categories unknown); E10 (Fence line locating a visible and permanent fence between separately identified property); E20 (Topographic feature; major category used when the minor category could not be determined); and E21 (Ridge line, the line of highest elevation of a linear mountain). Additional features which may be identified in this, or other layers, include: Fences: Fence lines locate a visible and permanent fence between separately identified property. For example, a fence around a military reservation or prison separates the reservation from civilian land. Thus, a fence line is a property line marked by a fence. Topographic Feature:Topographical features that may be used as boundaries or as a reference for an area. The Census TIGER database contains topographic features used to define the limits of statistical entities in locations where no other visible feature can be identified. Other Topographic Feature: Mountain Peaks, Islands, (identified by name), levees, an embankment, as of earth or concrete, used to prevent a river or other body of water from overflowing.

Game 1: Farmingdale State - 4, The Sage Colleges - 3
Game 2: Farmingdale State - 7, The Sage Colleges - 6
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State softball team swept The Sage Colleges today, 4-3 and 7-6, in two big conference wins in Farmingdale, N.Y. The Rams improved to 12-12 overall, 5-3 in the Skyline, while the Gators dropped to 9-13, 2-4.
Farmingdale State went up 1-0 in the bottom of the second in game one with an RBI single by senior designated hitter Lauren Nelson (Levittown, N.Y.). Sage tied the game in the third with a double to left field, but the Rams took back the lead in the bottom of the inning off an RBI single from sophomore centerfielder Michelle Mongiello (Elmont, N.Y.) for the 2-1 advantage.
After two scoreless innings, Farmingdale added two more runs in the sixth and would hold Sage in the seventh to grab the 4-3 victory.
Sophomore pitcher Taylor Tedeschi (Levittown, N.Y.) improved to 6-6 overall on nine hits, three earned runs and five strikeouts.
In game two, the Gators held the Rams to just one hit over the first five innings and led 6-1. In the bottom of the sixth, Farmingdale State connected for six hits and scored six runs to take the lead 7-6.
Mongiello led off with a double to right to start the rally, followed by an RBI triple from senior first baseman Jennifer Jarczynski (West Babylon, N.Y.). Senior third baseman Kristen Flint (Brentwood, N.Y.) scored Jarczynski on a groundout to make it 6-3 Sage, while sophomore left fielder Marissa Brightman (Bay Shore, N.Y.) walked on the next at-bat to put another FSC runner on the bases.
Nelson singled to move Brightman to second, before freshman second baseman Joanna Carillo (Franklin Square, N.Y.) reached on a fielder's choice and sophomore right fielder Sam Johrden (Deer Park, N.Y.) singled to third, which loaded the bases with two outs. Freshman catcher Meagan Anderson (Patchogue, N.Y.) scored two Farmingdale runs with a single to left.
Junior shortstop Hillary Genova (Brentwood, N.Y.) walked to load the bases again and Mongiello, who was making her second appearance at the plate for the inning, knocked in the eventual game-winning runs with a single to left field, scoring Johrden and Anderson to take the 7-6 lead.
Tedeschi, who pitched five innings of relief, got the win for her 7th win of the year, allowing seven hits with no walks.
With three conference teams left to play (Purchase, Mount Saint Mary, Mount Saint Vincent), the Rams stand in 4th place overall.
Farmingdale State travels to face Purchase College in a Skyline doubleheader on Wednesday, April 10th at 3:30 p.m.

PAINTSVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) -- Steven Bowling used to work in the coal industry.
"I loved that. I was actually working for an explosives company. I was an explosives technician," Steven Bowling said.
But in 2015, he was laid off and had to work minimum wage jobs.
"Right before this was for a fast food restaurant, something I hadn't done since I was in high school," Bowling said.
Bowling said thankfully, his wife had saved some money.
"If it hadn't been for her, we would have lost everything we got," Bowling said.
Then one day, Bowling heard about TechHire Eastern Kentucky.
"Every job I've had I've always been the go-to guy for anything technologically-based. 'Steve can fix it,'" Bowling said.
So although they were seeking students ages 19 to 29, Bowling applied at the age of 40.
"It was tough trying to go back to school when I hadn't done it in 20-something years, and here I'm working side-by-side 18, 19, 20-year-olds," Bowling said.
And after a work-based internship with Interapt, Bowling, and the other 34 graduates will help create apps and build applications for iOS and Android devices.
"Even if it's not right here in eastern Kentucky, this is something you can do remotely. So I could get hired on with a company in California and still live and work right here in Eastern Kentucky, still bring revenue and income to here from other states," Bowling said.
Which program organizers say is why the TEKY Program is important to this area.
"We need new economic opportunity and job creation opportunities in this region in a way where people don't have to relocate to get those jobs," said Michael Cornett, the Director of agency expansion for Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program.
As for Bowling, he says it took him awhile, but now he's back on track.
"I really enjoyed it. I really did," Bowling said.
This was the first class of Computer Coders to graduate from TechHire Eastern Kentucky.

All right. There's no way I can deceive myself anymore. Even earlier hopes that the package will come in April has fallen through. My March's lies are over. I broke the 1 haul per month rule.
BUT. Rules are made to be broken after all! Heh.
From Harlow & Co., more Picture Polishes for me!
And random stickers and body tats (that I'm planning to use for nail art) from a $2 shop I found at Liang Court!

Public history fascinates me. I love visiting and thinking about historic sites and museums, and one of my favorite things about this blog is the opportunity to talk about it. Since I went to some interesting places over the past week, I've been itching to do a post about them.
Still, as I said last time, it's taken me a while to get this stuff down in final form. In many years of visiting, studying, and working at historic sites and museums, this batch has presented a unique challenge.
The thing is, these sites are operated by religious organizations, and they handle the interpretation from their own distinct perspectives. Because of that, analyzing the content of their programs and exhibits is a somewhat delicate undertaking. I want to assess them honestly while taking their unique circumstances into account, and I certainly don't want to give offense to anybody. I've written and re-written this post countless times over the past several days in an attempt to juggle all these concerns. I hope I've succeeded.
When I review a museum or historic site here, I usually handle each one individually. This time I'm going to discuss three historic sites in one post. They all deal with the same subject matter, they're all located near one another (two of them are actually side by side), and they incorporate religion into their interpretation in two different ways that merit comparison.
The first and largest is Historic Nauvoo, a kind of Midwest Williamsburg operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Few places are as important to the history of Mormonism as this town beside the Mississippi River. Following their expulsion from Missouri in 1838, the Mormons purchased land in western Illinois and began construction of a city that grew so fast it rivaled Chicago. Securing a charter that granted them a great deal of latitude in establishing a town government, they also organized their own militia unit, published their own newspapers, and constructed a magnificent temple on a bluff overlooking the city. Historic Nauvoo is a recreation and restoration of parts of the town as it appeared during the Mormons' residence there.
That residence was brief. Outsiders were suspicious of Joseph Smith's power (he was not only head of the church but also the town's mayor and commander of its militia), and they feared the Mormons' rapid growth, political influence, and economic prosperity. Furthermore, dissenters within the faith criticized Smith's leadership. In 1844, one of these dissenting factions published a newspaper with allegations about the prophet's behavior and intentions, promising more revelations in subsequent issues. Smith and the city council ordered the destruction of the press, which led to the prophet's imprisonment in nearby Carthage. After a mob murdered Smith and his brother in jail, the Mormons hastened to complete the Nauvoo temple, but ultimately abandoned their city when it became apparent that coexisting with the surrounding populace would be impossible. Many migrated to Utah under Brigham Young's leadership.
Historic Nauvoo's visitor center has an exhibit on the construction of the town, the everyday life of its inhabitants, and their eventual departure. The galleries also house a few works of religious art, including some pretty impressive paintings and sculptures. Two theaters provide a venue for orientation films.
The rest of the site consists of restored and reconstructed buildings which are open for guided tours: a general store, the newspaper office, Cultural Hall, the tinsmith shop, the homes of prominent Nauvoo citizens such as Brigham Young and Joseph Smith's mother, and so on.
Nauvoo's other museum is Joseph Smith Historic Site, with its own visitor center, two homes the prophet and his family inhabited, a reconstruction of his brick store, a boarding house, and his grave. The Community of Christ, a separate Mormon denomination that formed under the leadership of the prophet's son, manages JSHS. This site and Historic Nauvoo are only about half a mile apart, and you can easily walk back and forth between them. I suspect that many non-Mormon visitors (who comprise about 20% of the traffic) simply assume that it's all one big operation, rather than two sites run by different churches.
The visitor center at JSHS has an orientation film, too, as well as a small exhibit area. Unlike the LDS facility, it also offers a gift shop with a pretty impressive selection of books, art, and other material.
The third site, Carthage Jail and Visitors' Center, is located about twenty miles away. Like Historic Nauvoo, it's run by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The main attraction here is the building where Smith, his brother, and two companions were imprisoned after the attack on the newspaper. On June 27, 1844 a mob stormed the building and made its way upstairs to the bedroom where the men were staying. Hyrum Smith, trying to block the intruders from breaking through the door, took a bullet in the face and died; the door is still there, and so is the bullet hole. Joseph Smith, shot multiple times, plummeted through the second-story window and died outside. One of the other men was wounded.
There's a visitor center here, too, but no exhibits other than a series of paintings. It's mainly a staging area for the tour and a small orientation theater with a film. In fact, this building reminded me of nothing so much as a funeral home—elegant furnishings, music coming from a piano in the adjacent room, and a somber but friendly gentleman in a dark suit standing near the entrance.
By all the usual standards one would normally use to judge historic sites, all three of these institutions get high marks. The buildings are beautifully restored. The exhibits at Historic Nauvoo's VC are informative, attractive, and clearly scripted. The guides are very knowledgeable, and everyone is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. These sites compare favorably with any other outdoor history museum, and they definitely merit a couple of days of your time. (I doubt you could see everything in a single day unless you rushed it; I spent a full day and another morning at Nauvoo and then part of an afternoon at Carthage.)
Under normal circumstances, that would be that. But, of course, these aren't exactly normal circumstances, because there's a sense in which these are sacred sites, and the tours, exhibits, programs, and films are all church operations. The question is whether or not that makes any difference.
Well, that's a complicated matter, and it's the reason I've had so much trouble figuring out how to review my visit. The short answer is that JSHS is a pretty straightforward affair, but at the two LDS sites, you're going to get more than a little religion mixed in with your historical tourism.
I had actually assumed it would be the other way around, since the prophet himself is buried on the grounds of JSHS. (His final resting place is surprisingly humble, by the way, and is actually his third grave, since his wife had him interred two times secretly before his remains were moved for the last time.) But for the most part, it was your standard historic site tour, and a superb one at that. The only nod to religion was a segment at the end of the orientation film which gave a brief overview of the Community of Christ's ministries.
At Historic Nauvoo and Carthage Jail, religion is more front-and-center, and sometimes historical interpretation gives way to apologetics. Sometimes it was a case of things left unsaid. Conspicuously absent from the exhibit and the films, for example, was any mention of why Smith ended up imprisoned at Carthage to begin with, or any substantial discussion of the dissension within the community that plagued the prophet and the other leaders. I'm not saying that the site is duty-bound to pore over every unsavory incident that happened during the town's history, but I do find it unfortunate that Smith's death is stripped of any immediate context. This makes his murder and the eventual collapse of Mormon Nauvoo harder to understand—and enabling visitors to understand is what museums and historic sites are supposed to do.
That's not to say that the exhibits are just a whitewash job, or that they aren't informative. That's not the case. The display at Nauvoo's VC does lay out a basic history of the town and its inhabitants. Nevertheless, there are some parts of the story that are missing.
Much less objective is one of the films shown at Historic Nauvoo's VC, a sixty-eight-minute biopic called "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration." The church produced this movie for the bicentennial of Smith's birth, and it plays at different Mormon sites across the country. It's a work of religious devotion through and through, and if you've got a problem with that sort of thing, then by all means skip it. Personally, while I wouldn't endorse the film as the best source of information about Smith, its reverent tone neither surprised nor offended me. (Look, if you go to a church facility and watch a movie about that religion's founder, and then you're offended because it's not a warts-and-all portrayal, then maybe you should've stayed home, pal.)
Furthermore, I was neither surprised nor offended to see LDS literature available in the visitor centers at Historic Nauvoo and Carthage's jail. They are, after all, the church's sites, and it's both natural and perfectly proper that they should have this information available for those who are interested.
What did surprise me was the extent to which the guides would weave religious outreach into their building tours. The interpreters at Historic Nauvoo and Carthage are, in fact, missionaries, who come from Mormon congregations all over the country to work for eighteen-month postings. Every single one of them was incredibly polite, warm, and knowledgeable, without any exceptions whatsoever. (I'd also add that the other visitors were noticeably friendlier than the tourists you run into at most other places.) I've never felt so welcome at a site or museum, although they were much more interested in my religious affiliation than interpreters at, say, Old Salem or Plimoth Plantation.
My most notable encounter happened at Nauvoo's newspaper office, where the guide was a bright, attractive, and knowledgeable young lady in period dress. After demonstrating the operation of a nineteenth-century printing press, she noted the importance of being able to read the truth, stated repeatedly that she believed the Book of Mormon to be true, and then (with an earnestness that I'm not accustomed to receiving from attractive young women, whether at historic sites or in any other circumstances) asked me if I would read it. A little taken aback at the way this tour had turned out, and always a sucker for a pretty face in 1800's clothing, I told her that I would.
That was only the second building I'd visited that day, so I wondered if that sort of thing was going to be the norm. It wasn't. I visited most of the other buildings with groups or families, and in those cases the guides would usually just end with some anecdote or quote from the person who lived or worked there, with a brief admonition to emulate their faithfulness.
A couple of days after visiting Nauvoo I drove up to Carthage to see the jail. Stepping into the visitor center, I met the guide, who was the kind, older gentleman in a suit I mentioned earlier. While I was waiting for the next tour to start, I picked up a copy of the Book of Mormon sitting on a table and thumbed through it.
"Are you a member of our faith?" he asked me.
I shook my head. "No."
"Do you have a copy of the Book of Mormon?"
"No, I'm afraid not."
He smiled. "You can keep that one, if you like."
Thinking it would be rude to turn him down, I thanked him and took it with me. I had, after all, promised the girl at the newspaper office that I'd read it, so I was kind of obligated.
I found out that this gentleman had worked at Nauvoo for a while, but this was only the second time he'd been assigned to give tours of the Carthage jail. His talk was extremely informative and well-prepared, as if he'd been working there every day for years.
When we entered the second-story bedroom where the mob broke in on the Smith brothers and their companions, the other visitors and I sat on benches while he related how it happened. It was, understandably, a difficult story for him to tell. "Excuse me," he said at one point, "I get a little emotional here." As I sat there looking at the bullet hole punched clean through the door, I figured that if I were in his shoes I'd probably be a little emotional myself.
I hope I'm not giving you the impression that if you visit these sites you're going to get hit with an endless barrage of proselytizing. That wasn't the case. Anyway, I don't get offended when people share their faith with me. I've got religious beliefs, too, and my opinion is that sharing something so personal with a total stranger takes guts and not a little love for your fellow human beings.
What I found odd wasn't what they were doing, but the setting in which it took place. There's just no smooth way to transition from historical instruction to missionary outreach within the brief amount of time allotted to a building tour at a large site like this. It's unavoidably jarring, like one of the don't-play-with-matches PSA's awkwardly tacked onto the end of the cartoons I used to watch as a kid. The approach at the Joseph Smith Historic Site's VC is much more sensible and, I think, effective. Let the orientation film briefly let visitors know who you are and what you believe, and then let the history do the talking.
That history speaks eloquently enough on its own. The early period of Mormonism is one of the great American stories. It's an unfortunate paradox that this religion, born so recently and on our own soil, should be one of the nation's least understood faiths. These sites can remove some of the mystery by providing the historical context that's so necessary to understanding any part of the human experience. I would recommend that the managers of these sites be less concerned about making openings to share their faith. The history is so compelling, the personnel so warm and engaging, that many visitors will probably open up on their own. "This is the most beautiful place and the best people under the heavens," Smith supposedly said as he rode out of Nauvoo for the last time on his way to prison and martyrdom, and anybody visiting today would be hard pressed to disagree.
