Obama, whose grandfather con- verted to Islam, made the short trip to the Islamic Society of Baltimore mosque, where he met community leaders and called on Americans not to be “bystanders to bigotry”. Invoking Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and hailing By Badrya Darwish the tolerance shown by American political icons from Thomas Jefferson to Dwight Eisenhower, Obama hit out at anti-Islamic sentiment that is “not who we are”. “We’ve heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim- Americans that has no place in our country,” he said, [email protected] lauding Muslim-Americans who were sports heroes, entrepreneurs and the architect behind the skyscrapers of Chicago. s I cannot lately write freely about many His comments comes as a shrill election debate has things in Kuwait like faux budget deficits, sullied America’s image abroad, and jihadist attacks in rising prices and inflation, subsidy San Bernardino and Philadelphia threatened to shatter A post-9/11 religious solidarity at home.

  • Chi É Francesco Guidolin?
    Chi é Francesco Guidolin? A few seasons ago, the impromptu and somewhat shocking decision for the Southampton board to sack popular manager Nigel Adkins and replace him with Argentine Mauricio Pochettino was met with intense scrutiny and a fear of the unknown. While Southampton have gone undoubtedly from strength to strength, and with Pochettino now gaining all the plaudits at his current club Tottenham Hotspur, does a lack of prior knowledge about a manager mean he is a bad call? Take the imminent appointment of Francesco Guidolin as head coach of Swansea, context is key to this appointment of this experienced Italian. In terms of Swansea’s search for a manager, it has looked something similar to the player searches for many clubs during the January transfer window; an awful lot of speculation, with often limited end product. Many managers, Jorge Sampaoli, Brendan Rodgers and Marcelo Bielsa among others have been linked, but earlier this month coach and long serving stalwart at the club Alan Curtis had been handed the job on a temporary basis until the end of the season. But with the former player’s reluctance to be the main man tasked with keeping the Swans in the top flight, chairman Huw Jenkins has turned to the 60 year old with a lot of experience. With Curtis seemingly remaining as temporary manager, it remains to be seen how the two will work in connection to each other, perhaps meaning Curtis will resume his day to day coaching role. So why Francesco? As mentioned, the decision came as a big surprise to the footballing world, especially after the decision was made to keep Curtis at the helm.

    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

  • RD PRO12 Peview Round 9
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2012/13 Round Nine: 23rd – 25th November 2012 ROUND NINE PREVIEWS With the completion of their postponed Round 4 game against Zebre, Ulster have now pulled out a six points lead at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table. They are in action in Italy again on Friday night when they face Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the country as well as maintaining their 100per cent start to this season’s RaboDirect PRO12. Current RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, are also in action on Friday night travelling to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh Rugby. Ospreys sit just outside the top four due to poorer points difference than Munster, should results go their way this weekend it could be the first time they have entered the Play-Off zone this season. The match of the day must be the encounter at Scotstoun where third placed Glasgow Warriors must overcome the reigning European champions, Leinster if they are to set a new Warriors record in this tournament of seven successive wins. The final game on Friday night is in Wales when Newport Gwent Dragons host Connacht. Both teams have had a mixed start to their seasons, and a win would be a welcome boost to their campaigns. The round concludes with two games on Sunday, Munster v Scarlets and Zebre v Cardiff Blues. After having narrowly missed out to Ulster last weekend, Zebre are still looking for their first win in the completion, and will be hoping Blues poor form continues for one more week.
