Countryside boosts mental health Living in the country is better for your mental health than being a city-dweller, scientists have said. There have previously been mixed reports on whether the rural or urban living was more beneficial. Some studies showed higher rates of depression and suicides in urban areas, while others raised concerns over the effects of rural isolation. But this British Journal of Psychiatry study found people in the countryside do have slightly better mental health. The... Read More

It's a decent book...for some reason it was hyped up. Perhaps a very good marketing effort. I thought it would be one of those books loaded with mind boggling statistical revelations that blow you away! Instead I found myself revisiting the dull lessons of Quantitative 210 and 211 classes from way back in college and wishing perhaps I'd paid more attention. Favorite part was the analysis of the criminal gangs and how they operate. Cool stuff!
January 6, 2006 at 2:07amYes, the book cannot be discounted cause of the point about abortion. In fact, I find the author's argument: a) Most folks involved in crime are likely to be those who come ...

The Hadith of Najd by Brother Ab? Rumaysah www.islaam.net The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, "O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Shaam. O Allaah bestow your blessings on our Yemen." The people said, "O Messenger of Allaah, and our Najd." I think the third time the Prophet, sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam, said, "There (in Najd) will occur earthquakes, trials and tribulations, and from their appears the Horn of Satan." Reported in al-Bukhaaree [Book of Trials, Ch... Read More
January 5, 2006 at 9:58pmthanks for bringing that to my attention. Jazak Allah Khair
January 5, 2006 at 8:18pmbro, add 'khair' always to 'Jazak Allah', because the word 'jazaa' like that is neutral, so it would mean 'reward' as well as 'punishment', but adding 'khair' makes it clear tha...

random thought in U2
Supposedly U2 refers to Jews and Muslims as "Daughters of Zion" and "Abraham's Son. But in reality, "Abraham's Sons" represents the super-set that includes both Jews and Muslims. "Daughters of Zion" on the other hand, corresponds only to the "Zionist" Jews - (which is also a subset of the Jewish world. Many reformist Jews do not agree with the mainstream Zionist ideologies). I don't know if I am making sense. It's late. Many of you may already know this but I just found out that "Yahweh" is the Hebrew word fo... Read More

Taken from www.artarena.force9.co.uk "In 250 BC a new Iranian people, the Parthians, proclaimed their independence from the Seleucids, and went on to re-establish an Oriental Empire which extended to the Euphrates. The re-conquest of the country by the Parthians brought a slow return to Iranian traditionalism. Its technique marked the disappearance of the plastic form. Stiff figures, often heavily bejeweled, wearing Iranian dress with its drapery emphasized mechanically and monotonously... Read More
