Ruhollah Khomeini Not to be confused with Ali Khamenei Ruhollah Khomeini (Persian روح الله خمینی, Persian pronunciation: [ruːholˈlɑːhe χomeiˈniː], 24 September 1902 – 3 June 1989), known in the West as Ayatollah Khomeini,[6] was an Iranian religious leader and politician, and leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. Following the revolution, Khomeini became the country's Supreme Leader, a position created in the constitution as the highest ranking political and religious authority of the nation, which he held until his death. Khomeini was a marja ("source of emulation") in Twelver Shi'a Islam, author of more than forty books, but is primarily known for his political activities. He was named Man of the Year in 1979 by American newsmagazine TIME for his international influence,[11] and has been described as the "virtual face of Islam in Western popular culture"[12] where he remains a controversial figure.

Baruch Spinoza Biography[edit] Family and community origins[edit] Spinoza's ancestors were of Sephardic Jewish descent, and were a part of the community of Portuguese Jews that had settled in the city of Amsterdam in the wake of the Alhambra Decree in Spain (1492) and the Portuguese Inquisition (1536), which had resulted in forced conversions and expulsions from the Iberian peninsula.[11] Attracted by the Decree of Toleration issued in 1579 by the Union of Utrecht, Portuguese "conversos" first sailed to Amsterdam in 1593 and promptly reconverted to Judaism.[12] In 1598 permission was granted to build a synagogue, and in 1615 an ordinance for the admission and government of the Jews was passed.[13] As a community of exiles, the Portuguese Jews of Amsterdam were highly proud of their identity.[13] Spinoza's father, Miguel (Michael), and his uncle, Manuel, then moved to Amsterdam where they resumed the practice of Judaism. 17th-century Holland[edit] Early life[edit] Expulsion from the Jewish community[edit]

Theodor Goldstücker In 1838 he removed to Bonn, and, after graduating at Königsberg in 1840, proceeded to Paris; in 1842 he edited a German translation of the Prabodhacandrodaya by Kṛṣṇamiśra Yati (fl. c. 1050-1100), a standard text widely read by Sanskrit students in India. From 1847 to 1850 he resided at Berlin, where his talents and scholarship were recognized by Alexander von Humboldt, but where his political views caused the authorities to regard him with suspicion. He was asked to leave Berlin during the revolutions of 1848 in the German states. In 1850 he moved to London at the invitation of H. H. He died in London. As Literary Remains some of his writings were published in two volumes (London, 1879), but his papers were left to the India Office with the request that they were not to be published until 1920. The Dictionary of National Biography includes an informative and perceptive entry on Goldstücker by N.
Four Temperaments - Overview, Summaries, Careers, Statistics The idea of four temperaments has for many centuries been proposed by psychologists, philosophers and other thinkers as a way to group and describe people with reasonable accuracy. Your temperament can be thought of as a general overview of your personality. Each temperament contains four personality types that are more similar to each other than they are the other personality types. If temperament is the "big picture" then personality type is the details. Temperaments in the Population This chart represents an estimation of temperaments among the population and gender.

Alan Milburn on social mobility and inequality This morning I interviewed former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn, whose important government report on social mobility (Fair Access to Professional Careers) was published earlier this week. The full interview will appear in next week's magazine but here's a taster for Staggers readers. Nick Clegg, who has made increasing social mobility his defining mission in government, recently suggested that greater mobility, not lower income inequality, should be the "ultimate goal" of progressives. Yet international evidence suggests that the latter is a prerequisite for the former. Countries such as Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Canada, where income inequality is low, have far higher levels of social mobility than the US and the UK, where inequality is high (see graph). This is hardly surprising. I put it to Milburn that it would prove impossible to increase social mobility at a time when the coalition's cuts are turbocharging inequality. "The question is: who gets the jobs?
INFJ Personal Growth People with the INFJ personality type are intense and perfectionistic. They have deep insights into many aspects of life, and usually have very high standards for their own understanding and accomplishments, as well as those of others.

Portrait of an INFJ As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system. INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. Only one percent of the population has an INFJ Personality Type, making it the most rare of all the types. INFJs place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. INFJs have uncanny insight into people and situations. But the INFJ is as genuinely warm as they are complex. Because the INFJ has such strong intuitive capabilities, they trust their own instincts above all else. INFJ is a natural nurturer; patient, devoted and protective. In the workplace, the INFJ usually shows up in areas where they can be creative and somewhat independent.
World's Largest Rooftop Farm: Local Toxin-Free Food For All Imagine this: your grocery store has a rooftop farm where the produce you will eat and feed to your family is cultivated by a local farmer that lives in your community and is grown right up-top of the store. The food is affordable, minimally handled and uncontaminated by chemicals. It seems so idyllic that the typical reaction is skepticism. Americans are neglectfully accustomed to paying sky-high prices for organic, sustainable food. We’ve come to a point where homegrown, local, toxin-free food feels fancy. Fancy? The reality is that safe, nutritious, local food can be for everyone. And get this: that building in the image above will be topped off by the world’s largest rooftop farm, created by BrightFarms’ CEO Paul Lightfoot. When I learned that Paul and his team hatched a plan for the world’s largest rooftop farm I was in gear for a motivating connection. “Don’t be discouraged. After studying the project, I had a few questions for Paul Lightfoot. Jill: What inspires you?

Lojong Lojong (Tib. བློ་སྦྱོང་,Wylie: blo sbyong) is a mind training practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on a set of aphorisms formulated in Tibet in the 12th century by Geshe Chekhawa. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes. The fifty-nine or so slogans that form the root text of the mind training practice are designed as a set of antidotes to undesired mental habits that cause suffering. They contain both methods to expand one's viewpoint towards absolute bodhicitta, such as "Find the consciousness you had before you were born" and "Treat everything you perceive as a dream", and methods for relating to the world in a more constructive way with relative bodhicitta, such as "Be grateful to everyone" and "When everything goes wrong, treat disaster as a way to wake up." History of the practice[edit] Atiśa journeyed to Sumatra and studied with Dharmarakṣita for twelve years. Geshe Chekhawa is claimed to have cured leprosy with mind training. 1. 2.

Men surprise women every now and then, and definitely keep us on our toes. We love to be surprised, and while we seem to like routine and for things to remain secure, constant and comfortable, we like to be shocked every once in while. Surprise us. Not only do women love that men can surprise them every once in a while with their actions, but men are also more unpredictable than women are. 7) Loyalty I'm scared to admit to this one, but women are much more catty than men are. 8) Just the two of us In a very non-Oedipal way, women seem to subconsciously go for the men who remind them of their fathers. 9) Hold for ransom Most men don't dwell on the past, at least not the same way women do. Men won't hold things as collateral for the next time he gets into a fight with his girlfriend, by bringing up something she did months ago. We are made to feel more feminine with the help of men.
