1. The glass ceiling effect refers to invisible yet powerful barriers that prevent women from moving beyond a certain level in the work place. ¶ In addition, women experience a "sticky floor effect." The sticky floor effect happens when women have no job path or ladder to higher positions. When women have children they experience a roadblock called the maternal wall. The maternal wall is when women receive less desirable assignments and less opportunities for advancement after they have a child. When women begin working at a company, their advancement can be limited by not having a senior level employee taking an active role in the development and career planning of junior employees. There are a lack of female mentors to assist new female employees because there are less women than men in higher level company positions. A woman with a male mentor could experience difficulty in gaining bonding and advice from out of work experiences. This is because men play basketball or golf and typically exclude women from these endeavors. Other factors limiting leadership for women are cultural differences

Similarly, if the Qur’an envisioned a flat earth below a domed sky with cords attached to it like a tent—resonant with cosmologies in the region—as scholarship has argued, interpretive tradition rather quickly moved away from this model in favor of extracting a “geocentric, spherical, Aristotelian-Ptolemaic world picture” from the same text.<0xEF><0x99><0x80><0xEF><0x98><0xBF> The definitive arguments in classical Muslim theology could read as disputes over various outside machines that might appropriately plug into the Qur’an, whether the Greek philosophical tradition or a growing network of hadith partisans who conceptualized the Qur’an’s meanings as accessible only to the extent that Muhammad articulated them to his Companions.

Stewart Rosene Zaros and retrieved from: absinthenew.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html ¶ [8] I take this term from Leela Gandhi and who following Jacques Derrida, Jean Luc Nancy, and Maurice Blanchot, writes on what is referred to as politics of friendship in her text – Affective Communities: Anti-Colonial Thought, Fin-De-Siècle Radicalism, and the Politics of Friendship (2006). A politics of friendship is precisely what the term implies. That is, the building of friendships based on the existence of similar ethical and political commitments and therefore not necessarily based upon identity politics concerned with belonging to the same family, political spectrum, community or nation.

4behavior. He speaks this phenomenon in terms of an "as if." In order to coexist with our neighbors we act "as if" they do not smell bad or look ridiculous. The big Other is then a kind of collective lie to which we all individually subscribe. In this way, the term the law signifies society's basic principles, which enable interaction by prohibiting certain acts. But for Žižek, the real crime is the act of law itself which reduces all other crime to banality. ¶ Paradoxically, then, Žižek argues that the postmodern subject is cynical towards official institutions, yet at the same time believes in conspiracies: an unseen Other pulling the strings. This coexistence of cynicism and belief reflects the demise of the big Other. When we lost our shared belief in a single power ( God is dead, who watches the watchers?, "Pull the Wool Over Your Own Eyes", etc.), we constructed an other of the Other in order to

5the whole community of Israel, great and small alike. The teachings, stories and conduct of the Baal Shem Tov uncovered this essential holiness in sincerity to God and one's fellow man, which came naturally to the unlearned, who had previously been looked down to, by those more spiritually adept, and who now could learn from them lessons in serving God. The Baal Shem Tov reached out to two groups of people: the simple unlearned masses whom he encouraged and invigorated, and the great Torah scholars who formed a close circle of saintly mystics around him. He would teach both groups with short, mystical Torah explanations, parables and stories that alluded to the inner meaning of Kabbalistic ideas. To the simple masses this was the first time Jewish mysticism had been conveyed in a way they could grasp, while his close circle understood the profound nature of the ideas alluded to. This "Holy Society" of saintly followers would later go on to

6awakened by study of mystical texts, in Hasidism of Hasidic philosophy, and in the varying ways of the different schools within Hasidism of applying this in daily Jewish life. Based on Kabbalah, it differentiates between lower and higher forms of love, awe and nullification of the ego. ¶ == Love of God and spiritual reward == ¶ The soulful advantage of Hasidism over Kabbalah is expressed in its ability to be expressed without recourse to the esoteric terms of Kabbalah. This is brought out most in the charismatic spiritual stories told about the beloved Masters of Hasidism, as well as in the mystical parables they told to illustrate ideas. One such parable differentiates between superficial forms of love of God and spiritual reward, with true forms of selfless love: ¶ A powerful King was grateful to two simple poor people for their devotion, and decided to show his gratitude. The poor labourers had never been into the palace before, but had

7used ( Chris Atton). The Zapatista Army of National Liberation of Chiapas, Mexico were the first major movement to make widely recognized and effective use of New Media for communiques and organizing in 1994. Since then, New Media has been used extensively by social movements to educate, organize, share cultural products of movements, communicate, coalition build, and more. The WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999 protest activity was another landmark in the use of New Media as a tool for social change. The WTO protests used media to organize the original action, communicate with and educate participants, and was used as an alternative media source. The Indymedia movement also developed out of this action, and has been a great tool in the democratization of information, which is another widely discussed aspect of new media movement. Some scholars even view this democratization as an indication of the creation of a "radical, socio-technical paradigm to challenge the dominant,

8and mysticism (in the older Jewish tradition of Kabbalah, experiential connection with spirituality takes place through a highly elaborate conceptual theology and textual interpretation, in contrast with some common, more intuitive definitions of mysticism; new ideas derive authority from Scriptural interpretation, and therefore gain an intellectual organisation). Hasidic thought builds upon Kabbalah, and is sometimes called a new stage in its development. However, this generalisation is misleading (although implicit in Hasidus are new interpretations of Kabbalah, that can be drawn out and related to its new philosophical positions). Kabbalah gives the complete structure of traditional Jewish metaphysics, using subtle categorisations and metaphors. This studies the Divine interaction with Creation, through describing the emanations that reveal, and mediate Godliness. Because of the concern to divest these ideas from any physical connotations, Kabbalists traditionally restricted their transmission to closed circles of advanced scholars, for fear of misinterpreting sensitive concepts. Hasidus leaves aside the

11Enlightenment) from Western Europe eastwards, became the second influence that restricted the mystical in Judaism. However, the new academic study of Jewish mysticism, and a new interest in Hasidism and Kabbalah across the spectrum of Jewish denominations in the 20th Century, have reversed the legacy of these trends today. The Sephardi world of Oriental Jewry was more remote from these challenges to mysticism, and so maintained on the whole, its tradition of Kabbalah in its mainstream life, even without the European input of Hasidism. Nonetheless, in the last two generations some Sephardi communities have come under the influence of Hasidism, especially the outreach movements of Habad and Breslav. ¶ == Significance of the Kabbalistic system to mainstream Jewish tradition == ¶ The hidden dimension of Judaism described in the Kabbalah is not separate from the revealed dimension of mainstream tradition, but accompanies and explains it on a deeper and spiritual level.

While this may have already been the case during his many travels to Tsarist Russia, Switzerland, Asia, Mexico and North Africa that had started in his student days, he could have been involved with this line of work during his life in America during the First World War, under a cover of being a German propaganda agent and a supporter of Irish independence. Crowley's mission might have been to gather information about the German intelligence network, the Irish independent activists and produce aberrant propaganda, aiming at compromising the German and Irish ideals. As an agent provocateur he could have played some role in provoking the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, thereby bringing the United States closer to active involvement in the war alongside the Allies. He also used German magazines The Fatherland and The International as outlets for his other

13albeit not mentioned in the Qu’ran, souls in Al-Barzakh would be grouped with others matching in purity or impurity. ¶ == Significance of Body and Soul Separation == ¶ In Islam, the soul and the body are dependent upon one another. This is significant in Barzakh, because only a person's soul goes to Barzakh and not their physical bodies. Since one's soul is divorced from their body in Barzakh, the belief is that no progress or improvements to one's past life can be made. If a person experienced a life of sin and worldly pleasures, one cannot try to perform good deeds in order to reach Jannah. Whatever one does in his or her lifetime is final and cannot be changed or altered in Barzakh. ¶ == Barzakh and Christian Purgatory == ¶ The idea of purgatory is that it is a place where people go after death that holds punishment and purification for those

We need to remember as social movement actors that “differences of opinion or compromise on questions that were open to varying interpretations” are possible and need to be exhausted, not that they can ever be exhausted (Al-awani, 1993: 54–55). Enough then with the petty drama! Again, all social movement activists need to exercise caution with regards to narrowness of visions, feelings of exclusivity, bad faith, malice, and gossip. I repeat the former statement because it seems important. Above all there shouldn’t “be quick talk of independence, even if” it is unavoidable, because the independence of Muslims and anarchists from each other, as an example, ought “be made to depend on very hard bargaining” (Deleuze,

15there is a deeper explanation. One follower of Dov Ber, Shneur Zalman of Liadi, was the founder of Habad -a Kabbalistic acronym for the intellectual powers of the soul, that expressed the "wellsprings" of the Baal Shem Tov in systematic intellectual form. This approach was very different from the other schools of Hasidism, and at first glance looked to be the opposite of the path of the Baal Shem Tov, who had emphasised simple sincerity. Shneur Zalman's approach used an intellectual contemplation of understanding inner Torah concepts to achieve elevated states, as opposed to the mainstream aim to arouse the emotions by devotion in prayer. All approaches, however, aim to evoke the emotions of love and fear of God, which are the two 'wings' on which a person can elevate himself to the direct perception of the Divine.

Congratulations on this :) ¶ He noted that there are some errors in the report itself, and is still concerned that you will actually make it to the end successfully with an effective search-based technique. But he suggested when you have found one, you should come to CREST to present it to the other group there, as you'd get some useful feedback. I would hope this could happen some time next year, when your ideas are fully worked out. ¶ Shall we resume meetings again in say a fortnight (next week is out for me). ¶ Best wishes, ¶ Iman

24-12] Resistance to change ¶ [](http://thegoodgarment.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/resist-t-shirt-1994.jpg)People are resistant to change for two reasons: 1) skepticism that the change will improve things (fear that change will fail) and 2) the threat that the change will endanger their position (fear that change will succeed, but lead to their own failure). In implementing change within your group, you mustn't kid yourself. Skeptics can be addressed -- partially -- by means of education, propaganda, evangelisation. Those who sit on the fence can be brought on side. But those who feel threatened are probably correct in their appraisal of the situation: and represent an internal danger.

Sexuality is a great differentiator, with the extreme forms of fetish trending towards very culturally and temporally specific forms (from Egyptian boys perving on niqabis to Victorians playacting slaves in blackface to Japanese used panties vending machines). The core biological function of the human body -- something that should, in essence, be universal -- is so regulated by cultural conditioning as to make one group's turn-ons completely alien to another's. This is why sexual regulation is so important to religion. A successful religion survives only if it has genuine cultural capital, a good stock of cultural memes. The intimate co-dependence on between (religious) regulation and (fetish) illegitimacy is shown in this Egyptian niqab example.Is there another way of being happy with our sexuality? Yes, it is to fetishize difference (Deen) itself. Sex is always a differential: but there
