A BBC documentary examining the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. Isaac Newton is, as most will agree, the greatest physicist of all time. At the very least, he is the undisputed father of modern optics, or so we are told at school where our textbooks abound with his famous experiments with lenses and prisms, his study of the nature of light and its reflection, and the refraction and decomposition of light into the colours of the rainbow. Yet, the truth is rather greyer; and I feel it important to point out that, certainly in the field of optics, Newton himself stood on the shoulders of a giant who lived 700 years earlier. For, without doubt, another great physicist, who is worthy of ranking up alongside Newton, is a scientist born in AD 965 in what is now Iraq who went by the name of al-Hassan Ibn al-Haytham. Most people in the West will never have even heard of him. As a physicist myself, I am quite in awe of this man's contribution to my field, but I was fortunate enough to have recently been given the opportunity to dig a little into his life and work through my recent filming of a three-part BBC Four series on medieval Islamic scientists. First shown on BBC4 05/01/2009 Professor Jim Al-Khalili presents Science and Islam. + Informações

From the 3-DVD set "Hooked On The Vortex: Creating Your Reality by Creating Your Mood", new from Abraham-Hicks Publications. This is the fourth episode in our "Vortex of Attraction" series, each of which features almost all of a single extraordinary workshop. It runs over 3 1/2 hours and includes over two dozen segments, including: "Your Contrast is Responsible for Your Expansion", "There is No Greed in the Vortex", "Teaching Sexuality and Maintaining Integrity", "Why Some Spiritual Teachers Disown Our Ego", and "Is Pushing For 'Quantum Leaps" Counterproductive?". In this excerpt, Abraham discusses resistance and bodily manifestations, provides an amusing account of Esther's early experiences speaking for Abraham, and highlights the value of one of their most frequently repeated recommendations - which is that we should not give "a rip" what others think. Esther & Jerry Hicks have identified "Abraham" - no relation to the Biblical figure - as Esther's translation, using her own vocabulary, of Non-Physical Source Energy, otherwise known as her Soul. Esther & Jerry have been creating and distributing the "Teachings of Abraham" for over 25 years, and are the authors of numerous audio recordings, videos, and best-selling books.

"Mankiw's 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated", by Yoram Bauman, www.standupeconomist.com . Presented at the AAAS humor session, February 16, 2007. For the record, the talk contains two unattributed quotes ("9 out of 5" is adapted from a line attributed to Paul Samuelson---although apparently he said it about Wall Street indices, not macroeconomists---and "wrong about things" is paraphrased from PJ O'Rourke's Eat the Rich) and, of course, the Einstein "simple" quote is an intentional misquote. The talk is based on a published article in Annals of Improbable Research (see http ), which sponsored my talk and to which you should subscribe (improb.com ). In the paper you can see the "constructive example" of how trade can make everyone worse off (or you can just wait 50 years to see what happens with climate change).

The aphorism "The poor are always with us" dates back to the New Testament, but while the phrase is still sadly apt in the 21st century, few seem to be able to explain why poverty is so widespread. Activist filmmaker Philippe Diaz examines the history and impact of economic inequality in the third world in the documentary The End of Poverty?, and makes the compelling argument that it's not an accident or simple bad luck that has created a growing underclass around the world. Diaz traces the growth of global poverty back to colonization in the 15th century, and features interviews with a number of economists, sociologists, and historians who explain how poverty is the clear consequence of free-market economic policies that allow powerful nations to exploit poorer countries for their assets and keep money in the hands of the wealthy rather than distributing it more equitably to the people who have helped them gain their fortunes. Diaz also explores how wealthy nations (especially the United States) seize a disproportionate share of the world's natural resources, and how this imbalance is having a dire impact on the environment as well as the economy. The End of Poverty? was an official selection at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.. + Informações

This is the opening track of the amazing album "Stolen From Strangers" by Jun Miyake. Vocals by Arto Lindsay, another great musician. "Alviverde" means "white and green", and these lyrics are in Portuguese. They're pretty much meaningless, by the way, so don't worry too much about them. I'm posting this mostly to promote the album and the guy. I recently discovered Miyake's work because of his amazing score for "Stink Bomb", the second animated short movie in the three-part "Memories", an excellent Japanese production. Awesome film, you should check it out too. I'm not gonna post the rest of the album, but if you liked this one, you should probably check it out for yourself. It's available on lots of places.

Requiem Mass in D Minor Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's final Masterpiece was commissioned in mid 1791 by the Austrian count Franz Von Walsegg, as a Tribute to the passing of his young wife Anna. Mozart began his final composition in Prague, suffering from an undetermined illness, which would eventually take his life and rob him of the chance to see the completion of his Magnum Opus. After Mozart's death, his understudy 'Franz Xaver Süssmayr', at the behest of Mozart's wife, completed the missing parts of the Requiem. Requiem Mass was first performed on January 2, 1793, in a private concert for the benefit of Mozart's grieving wife, Constanze Mozart. The Following are the lyrics, translated from their Original Latin Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. You are praised, God, in Zion, and homage will be paid to You in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer, to You all flesh will come. Grant them eternal rest, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them. Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us. Day of wrath, day of anger will dissolve the world in ashes, as foretold by David and the Sibyl. Great trembling there will be when the Judge descends from heaven to examine all things closely. The trumpet will send its wondrous sound throughout earth's sepulchres and gather all before the throne. Death and nature will be astounded, when all creation rises again, to answer the judgment. A book will be brought forth, in which all will be .... + Informações

Arti Of Goddess Durga. Album: Arti Mangal Artists: Bipin Sathiya & Chorus What is an Arti? Arti is a Hindu ritual, in which light from wicks soaked in ghee (purified butter) or camphor is offered to one or more deities. It is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual. Aarti is performed and sung to develop the highest love for God. "Aa" means "towards", and "rati" means "the highest love for God" in Sanskrit. Aarti is generally performed twice or three times daily, and usually at the end of a puja or bhajan session. It is performed during almost all Hindu ceremonies and occasions. It involves the circulating of an 'Arati plate' around a person or idol and is generally accompanied by the singing of songs in praise of that deity or person (many versions exist). In doing so, the plate itself is supposed to acquire the power of the deity. The priest circulates the plate to all those present. They cup their down-turned hands over the flame and then raise their palms to their forehead - the purificatory blessing, passed from the deity's image to the flame, has now been passed to the devotee. The arati plate is generally made of metal, usually silver, bronze or copper. On it must repose a lamp made of kneaded flour, mud or metal, filled with oil or ghee. A cotton wick is put into the oil and then lighted, or camphor is burnt instead. The plate also .... + Informações
