bv4bv4bv4@gmail.com: Nov 17 08:06AM -0800 Islam prohibited women to be Unveiled....why? Are there any harmful effects on women if they used to display parts of their body? Let us read.........   According to the latest figures, the incidence of melanoma, a potentially fatal skin cancer, is increasing dramatically. It is currently the most common type of cancer in young women between the ages of 25 and 29. Researchers believe that sun exposure plays a significant role in the development of melanoma. According to Dr. Diane Berson, an American dermatologist says "intense sun exposure prior to age 20 may be more of a significant risk factor for skin cancer than sun exposure past the age of 20. Three or more blistering sunburns early in life, or three or more years of working out of doors, (e.g. camp counselors or lifeguards), without protection, can increase the risk of skin cancer by more than three times." Another study held from 1973 to 2004 found that the rate of new melanoma cases in younger women had jumped 50 percent since 1980, but did not increase for younger men in that period. "It's worrying," said Mark Purdue, a research fellow at the National Cancer Institute, who led the analysis published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology. "What we are seeing in young adults right now could foretell a much larger number of melanoma cases in older women." he said. "One possible explanation is increases among young women of recreational sun exposure or tanning bed use," Purdue said. "Both of these things have been identified as risk factors." Statistics say that 62,000 melanoma cases are diagnosed each year in the United States, and more than 8,400 people die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. Previous studies have shown that the rate of new diagnoses has been increasing among adults overall. Woman's dress in Islam According to religion of Islam woman should only display her face and palms of hands in front of foreigner men (indoor and outdoor) and more than that is prohibited. Allah Almighty tells prophet Mohamed peace be upon him to order women to do the following: (And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyûbihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islâm), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allâh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.){ Sûrat An-Nûr - The Light -verse31}. Also prophet Mohamed peace be upon him says in the right Hadith about some indications for the imminence of day of resurrection that "there will be women who are dressed and naked at the same time, who are reeling while walking and their heads are like the top of the camel, those will not enter the heaven or even smell its smell" [narrated by Abu- horraira] Muslim women who are veiled believe that their body is valuable so it should not be as a commodity that is exposed to everyone to evaluate. Conclusion The great religion of Islam doesn't approve any practice that may cause any harm to both men and women , therefore Allah Almighty and His prophet Mohamed peace be upon him order women to be veiled because woman's veil definitely respects woman than exposing her parts in front of everyone. Also, Allah Almighty didn't order women to be veiled and ordered men to do what they want but He Almighty orders men also to respect women by not to look in their parts because that is purer for them so that Allah Almighty tells the prophet to inform men to:(Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is All-Aware of what they do.){ Sûrat An-Nûr - The Light -verse30}. ------------------------------ By: Abduldaem Al-Kaheel www.kaheel7.com/eng http://www.kaheel7.com/eng/index.php/legislative-miracles/646-islam-prohibited-women-to-be-unveiledwhy References: * http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/guide/sun-exposure-skin-cancer * http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2008/07/11/skin_cancer_on_rise_in_young_women/ * http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/44764.php Thank you

We can turn it off miles before we get home, so, all the bad guys know is the location where you've used it.   But, after the very first phone call, the phone can now be traced back to us, because, the bad guys know whom you called. After two, three, four calls, they pretty much have you, because they can just *ask* those people you called who you were.   So, I don't see, realistically, how you can possibly not be traced, unless you only use the phone once.

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Nov 16 08:10PM Owner would like it repairing,if at all possible, but how to get inside the plastic wallet without damaging it? Right hand one of these 2 http://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Advertisement/pict%20ads/FX-115_FX-451_Big.jpg

mroberds@att.net: Nov 16 09:46PM > inside the plastic wallet without damaging it? > Right hand one of these 2 > http://www.casio-calculator.com/Museum/Advertisement/pict%20ads/FX-115_FX-451_Big.jpg   It just so happens I have one of these on my desk!   Look carefully and you will see that the hard plastic top surface of the calculator - where the buttons, display, solar cell etc, are - overhangs the soft vinyl just a little. Put your fingernail or a guitar pick in between the vinyl and the hard plastic and slide it back and forth.   On the left - the long side that is not next to the hinge - there is one plastic locking tab in the middle - just north of the "SHIFT hyp" button.   On the bottom, there are two tabs - one between the 0 and . keys, and another between the = and M+ keys.   The top has two tabs, in the same places as the bottom.   The right has one tab, in the same place as the left side.   The guts/works of the calculator are attached to the keys, and will come up once you've released the locking tabs. The back cover - what the guts snap into - is white plastic and (mostly) five sides of a box - it seems to stay in the wallet.   The flex cable to the membrane keys in the right side is about 30 mm wide and attaches to the guts just behind the divide, subtract, and M+ keys. The joint is covered by a removable plastic piece - I didn't take that off, so I don't know if it's soldered, or has a connector, or what.   I took a few photos, available at http://imgur.com/a/h6kWJ . One of them shows the left side locking tab, one shows the bottom locking tabs, and one is a view of the back of the guts. You can just about see the flex cable on this last one.   Back in the day (late 80s, early 90s), these Casios were just the thing, if you couldn't afford an HP. I had the FX-115 in high school and got the FX-451 later on.   Matt Roberds

Could also try toothpick or cocktail stick...   Mike.

N_Cook <diverse@tcp.co.uk>: Nov 17 09:20AM I'm amazed the plastic has not failed at the hinge, with about daily opening and closing for 30 years, its not gone rigid or split

"Arfa Daily" <arfa.daily@ntlworld.com>: Nov 17 11:16AM So, the nonsense bias board arrived. It was in a properly printed Fender cardboard-topped 'accessory' bag, as you might find hanging on pegboard in any music shop. "Genuine Fender Parts" it proudly announces. "PCB ASSY AUTOMATIC BIAS 4 TUBES S - S"   I'm not sure what that tells us exactly, but if Fender have them all bagged up ready to hang up in dealers ... ??   Anyways, put it in and fired it up. It does a lot of LED flashing and bias trimming between the 4 tubes, but seems to eventually settle on a 'solution'. Out of the four (brand-new looking) Sovtek output tubes, three ended up with almost -ve 51 volts on their grids, and the other with just under -ve 52 volts. For all of this effort though, I'm not sure that there would have been any practical difference if all four tubes were to have had the same bias on them. I don't know if these Sovteks were bought as a matched quad - we didn't fit them - but clearly they aren't, quite. I don't know how much 'slack' this board is able to take up, but I would imagine quite a bit.   But the thing that's vexing me a bit now, is whether to recommend that the owner replaces all four tubes now for a properly matched quad. There's no signs of any flashovers or other nasties going on, but I still have that niggling doubt that something might have twatted that board, and that one of the outputs clearly doesn't quite match the other three. Thing is, it's already going to have cost them a bit in bench time, even if we let the board go in for no cost, and to then add a set of output valves that it looks like have already been replaced not long ago ... :-\   Arfa

The bolt is fed from the inside with the plain washer on the outside.   Never had to do such a crazy thing before with any speaker - owners never seem to notice what has happened and find my story hard to believe.   Comments?       ... Phil         I've had a few of those. Causes very odd symptoms as the braids dance about and short on the speaker chassis.     I find 3.5mm bolts hard to come by in the UK so I use my stock of 3mm bolts instead. And these days I use Nylon locknuts rather than mess about with shakeproof washers / adhesives etc.       Gareth.
