| Article Title :: Self Defense or Personal Protection? |
| |
|
"What is defense? It is a countermeasure to aggression, an act
of protection from danger". -Robert Anthony Bussey
Self defense is a myth. I know. I’ve been studying and it for
years. The false sense of security my sister might buy in the
store or from some “expert” outright scares me. What would
really work if she was threatened? Attacked? Worse?
“Violent crime is everywhere, happening every minute. It's
random, and it can happen to you.” from Taking Precautions by
Robert Bussey at www.busseystyle.com
Should she take a self defense course? Buy mace? Nice shoes
won’t make me dance and I wouldn’t take an introductory
gymnastics class and then go for the gold. What should I t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: WNV in Mares and Foals-When to Vaccinate? |
| |
|
As we begin our fifth year in dealing with the dreaded WNV, over
14,000 cases in the United STates as of 2002 have been reported.
The question was raised about a link between the WNV and
abortions in equines.A retrospective study by the University of
Kentucky's Livestock Disease and Diagnostic Center, from July of
2002 through early 2003, looked at 400 equine abortions for
evidence of WNV. Their findings were suprising. Of the 400
horses examined, 35 had evidence of WNV. Although this is only
approximately 8 percent, it does require more research to see if
there is a connection between the WNV and aborted fetuses. At
this time there is no evidence that the WNV caused the
abortions; only tha (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Healthy Garden Soil - Composting; how, when, & why |
| |
|
In the soft, warm bosom of a decaying compost heap, a
transformation from life to death and back again is taking
place. Life is leaving the living plants of yesterday, but in
their death these leaves and stalks pass on their vitality to
the coming generations of future seasons. Here in the dank,
moldy pile the wheel of life is turning.
Compost is more than a fertilizer or a healing agent for the
soil's wounds. It is a symbol of continuing life. Nature herself
made compost before man first walked the earth and before the
first dinosaur lifted its head above the primeval swamp. Leaves
falling to the forest floor and slowing moldering are
composting. The dead grass of the meadow seared by win (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Do Souls of the Dead Return Back to this World? part III |
| |
|
The Supernatural is thus not the World of Spirits and Lost
Souls, but the World of Jinn SPIRIT POSSESSION Another
widespread fallacy is the concept of spirit-possession, during
which a supposed spirit (of a dead person) occupies the human
body and the individual experiences fits and epilepsy. The
Shaytaan has used this false belief so strongly to corrupt
people's Aqeedah that some of those who believe in spirit
possession even commit acts of Shirk, like performing un-Islamic
rituals and offerings at the tombs, hanging amulets containing
words of disbelief, etc. to protect themselves from possession
and to seek treatment. It should be made known that most of
these cases are due to psychologi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Do Souls of the Dead Return Back to this World? part II |
| |
|
Barzakh forbids any Return Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu
alaihe wa-sallam) have clearly defined to us journey of the soul
after death and the abode of both, the disbelieving souls and
the righteous souls. This period between the death and the
Hereafter is known as 'Barzakh'. Linguistically, 'Barzakh' means
a veil, barrier or partition between two things. Ibn Abbas
(radhiallahu anhu) defines Barzakh as a Hijab (a partition of
veil). Al-Qurtubi, in his exposition states: 'The Barzakh is a
barrier between two things. It is the stage between this world
and the other world - from the time of death until the time
Resurrection. Thus, whoever dies enters the Barzakh" [See
al-Qurtubi's Tafseer (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Do Souls of the Dead Return Back to this World? |

A POPULAR THEME OF MANY HORROR AND THRILLER NOVELS, MOVIES AND
TELEVISION PROGRAMS CENTERS AROUND THE FALSE BELIEF THAT WHEN
SOMEONE IS KILLED UNJUSTLY, HIS SOUL RETURNS IN ORDER TO SEEK
JUSTICE, OR IT KEEPS WANDERING UNTIL JUSTICE IS DONE TO IT.
REPEATED EXPOSURE TO THIS FALSE CONCEPT FROM EVERY FORM OF MEDIA
HAS LEAD MANY TO UNKNOWINGLY BELIEVE IN IT... Whilst some take
this concept very seriously, and make use of un-Islamic
measures, like the hanging of amulets and pagan rituals to
protect themselves from the revengeful soul, others simply
consider these issues to be unimportant and do not bother to
seek knowledge about it. But the fact remains, that not only do
many people fear the soul (read full article) |

| Article Title :: CAN YOUR AIRPLANE MAKE YOU MONEY? |
| |
|
If you can view your airplane as a "tool" and you've got income
to support an airplane payment. . . a "leaseback" may be right
for you! A leaseback is an arrangement in which an individual
purchases an airplane and allows a flight school to manage and
operate the airplane in his or her flight school. Properly
structured, a "win, win, win" situation is created. Win #1: A
flight school, which is generally cash strapped can now attract
new students more effectively and be more competitive in the
market place while retaining capital for advertising and other
operating expenses.
Win #2: The owner of the airplane who has no other business use
for the airplane, now has legitimate business use an (read full article) |

| Article Title :: AIRCRAFT OWNERSHIP: IS THE TIME RIGHT? |
| |
|
In the hours and days immediately following the tragic attacks
on America of 9/11, there was much speculation about the effects
on the general aviation industry. While the events of September
11, 2001 have had a significant impact on the economy as a
whole, sales of personal aircraft in Michigan have experienced a
surprising boost. Certainly, the convenience of personal
transportation has played a major role in this increase as
airport lines and security have become more time consuming. The
reduction of flights resulting from the airline cost-cutting
have limited flexibility for the business person and affected
the productivity of companies relying on commercial
transportation. These factor (read full article) |

| Article Title :: ADDRESSING SAFETY WITH NEW AVIONICS |

"How safe is it?" Along with "How much does it cost?" this is a
question we often hear when someone is considering flight
training as an option for depleting his or her discretionary
income. Our industry has experienced a marked reduction in
overall accidents and statistically, a 27.8% reduction in the
most recent 7 years! During this same time period General
Aviation fatal accidents dropped 32.6% to just over 1 fatality
for every 100,000-flight hours. Of these accidents, 80% are
either partially or completely pilot induced, with weather
related accidents and controlled flight into terrain (CFIT)
accounting for the majority of fatalities.
So what is the industry doing to address the issue (read full article) |
