FEN is about end of life CHOICES. Jacie received his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a concentration in Law and Public Policy from the University of Louisville. He was active in politics to help pass the California End of Life Option act. Among the topics Jacie will address are the End of Life Option Act, institutional support, including hospice, statistics and polling, and the cost of medication and insurance.

December 2017
The Enlightenment A Mini-Journal of the Humanist Association of London and Area Visit Our Web Site at www.humanists-london.org Volume 13 Number 12 December 2017 DEFIANT EARTH: The Fate of Humans in the Anthropocene by Clive Hamilton Reviewed by Rosslyn Ives Hamilton’s aim in Defiant Earth is to set out a compelling case for how humans have become major agents affecting the functioning of the Earth System. In this book he argues that humans have become so powerful we have disrupted the functioning of the Earth, bringing on a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. As he reminds readers, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution humans have been responsible for huge changes on Earth, including the consequences of burning fossil fuels. Since the rapid growth in the post-Second World War period of land clearing, manufacturing and resource use these changes have accelerated. The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels has caused global warming, climate change, ice melts and acidification of the oceans, among other significant system changes. In other words, humans have become a major agent for change, augmenting the blind forces of nature This is a challenging book to read, because Hamilton is setting out the evidence and arguments for a paradigm shift in how the Earth System ought to be understood. Instead of perceiving ourselves as simply products of evolution living on a planet that sustains our livelihood, we need to see ourselves as active agents affecting how the Earth System functions. This has led scientists to apply the concept of the Anthropocene epoch, a time when humans are significant agents. -
A Case Study of Memri's
AL GHANNAM, ABDULAZIZ G., Ph.D., December 2019 TRANSLATION STUDIES IDEOLOGY IN MEDIA TRANSLATION: A CASE STUDY OF MEMRI’S TRANSLATIONS (294 PP.) Dissertation Advisor: Brian James Baer Translation is an invaluable tool for communicating between cultures and for bridging the “knowledge gap.” Based on this fact, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) claims that the purpose of its translations of media content from the Middle East, mainly the Arabic-speaking world, is to bridge the knowledge gap that exists between the West and Middle Eastern countries. Although MEMRI’s stated goal is a generous and worthy one, its translations have attracted criticism from major translation scholars such as Mona Baker (2005, 2006, 2010a) and journalists such as Brian Whitaker (2002, 2007), as well as scholars from history and political studies. The main criticism regarding MEMRI’s translations revolves around the question of selectivity, or which texts are chosen for translation. However, no study to date has provided comprehensive evidence to support or refute that charge, which this study aims to do. This study focuses on English translations of texts and video clips that were found in the Saudi Arabia translation archive, published and available online on MEMRI’s website. By investigating all the Saudi media sources (e.g., newspapers, TV channels, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) from which MEMRI makes its selection of texts for translation, this study provides statistical evidence as to whether MEMRI’s translations are representative of what is being circulated in the source culture (Saudi Arabia) media. Supporting evidence is sought in MEMRI’s approach to the translation of titles and in its translation of video clips (subtitling). -

Laporan 5 Profil Ngo-Ngo Dan Individu-Individu Yang
LAPORAN 5 PROFIL NGO-NGO DAN INDIVIDU-INDIVIDU YANG BERKECENDERUNGAN MENYOKONG GERAKAN ATEISME 1. Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) Individu yang perlu dipantau: Dr. Farouk Musa Status: Aktif Aktiviti: Banyak menganjurkan program yang mempromosikan ideologi liberal dan membawa masuk pelbagai individu yang mempunyai ideologi sesat untuk dibawa kepada masyarakat Malaysia. Kaitan dengan gerakan ateisme: Menyatakan jikalau golongan ateis menikmati dan mempercayai kebebasan beragama tanpa mempengaruhi orang lain untuk menganut agama mereka, sepatutnya tidak timbul masalah untuk isu itu. Selain itu, IRF juga menerima dana daripada National Endowment for Democracy (NED), iaitu sebuah badan NGO overt yang giat mempromosikan proses demokrasi di dunia dan menguasai empat agensi yang mendukung prinsip demokrasi yang sama iaitu American Center for International Labour Solidarity (ACILS), Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) dan International Republican Institute (IRI). Bukan itu sahaja, IRF seolah-olah menggalakkan pembawaan sekularisme dan bekerjasama dengan pelbagai entiti anti Islam. Sudah tentu kebebasan beragama adalah sesuatu yang disokong IRF dan mereka juga mempunyai objektif agar umat Islam di Malaysia mampu membuka minda ke arah ideologi IRF.

Role of Education in the Consolidation of Islamic Solidarity
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 1 No. 6; June2011 Role of Education in the Consolidation of Islamic Solidarity Rana Eijaz Ahmad Assistant Professor Department of Political Science University of the Punjab, New Campus Lahore Doctoral Candidate, Department of International Relations Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan E-mail: [email protected], Phone # 0300-426-1817 Abida Eijaz Assistant Professor Institute of Communication Studies University of the Punjab, New Campus Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Plato believes that no ideal state can be perceived without education. In this age of globalization education is a real investment that rarely recognized in the Muslim world. Islamic Solidarity is call of the day. Islam is the only religion that believes in global unity and universal solidarity. There are 57 Muslim countries, all are member of Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), having no say in international community owing to lack of education that is considered an important indicator in the socio-economic, political, cultural, and scientific development in today’s world. Islam has unique ideology that provides a uniform system of survival for all communities without any subjectivity. Owing to media propaganda and some fanatics Islamic ideology has been under cloud since 9/11. We as Muslims have obligations to consolidate Muslim glory through Ijtihad, a dynamic aspect of Islamic Ideology and education. Role of education in the consolidation of Islamic solidarity is very much significant in this modern world. Without equipping Muslim world with modern education regarding Ijtihad may hamper the Muslims’ role in world politics. The dilemma with Muslim world is of being intellectually dependent upon the West. -
GENIAL ATHEISM Presents a Holistic Overview of the Nature, History, and Allure of Both Religion and Atheism
GENIAL ATHEISM presents a holistic overview of the nature, history, and allure of both religion and atheism. It answers questions that have long plagued atheists, agnostics, and believers alike, such as: • Why do many believers hate atheists and fear atheism? • Why have religions been so relentless in their attempts to root out and destroy atheism? • Why have religions failed as moralizing forces? • Why do so many believers clutch at magic while they flee from science? • What aspect of human nature accounts for religion’s persistence in the face of the triumphs of reason and the advances of science? Here is a sample. “Our capacity to reason has raised us to rule over the animals, and to understand and manipulate nature, so that we can probe to our cores and soar toward the stars. But the magnificent, powerful conscious mind is only a veneer that yields, even grovels on demand, before the might of the unconscious mind bubbling below. The hidden unconscious, with all its drives and fears, primed by primordial and infantile programming, commands us in so many ways and compels and rivets us to beliefs and opinions that we arrogate to the free will of our intellects or ascribe to some external deity.” Other books by Professor Stan Gedzelman are: 1. The Science and Wonders of the Atmosphere 2. The Soul of All Scenery: A History of the Sky in Art 3. Calculus: Your Royal Road to Genius 4.
