	The Bah`’ World, Vol. 18, Part Five: In Memoriam
		Bah`’ life, but for the history books let me state that she was born on 8 December 1907 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the fourth of twelve children of Herman and Elsie (Lyman) Bremer.
		During her stay in Santos Leonora began her prodigious and historic task of translating Bah`’ literature into Portuguese; at first it was a simple pamphlet to distribute at her talks--often typed over and over on her small portable typewriter--later, as her skills developed, an intense outpouring of the major works of the Faith.
		The Bah`’s were subjected to a series of arrests, trials and sentences of imprisonment, notably in 1965, 1967 and 1972, and Subh’ played his full part in these events.

	The Expiration of BAQ/VHA Polices
		The loss of BAH II is phase II of the planned transition from the old BAQ laws, and it removes the grandfathering effect of the BAQ laws.
		As of Dec 31, 2005 Phase II of the BAH transition will mean the elimination of BAH Difference, which is for servicemembers who pay child support and live on the economy.
		These members will be converted to BAH at the “with dependents” rate and have use of OHA higher rental ceilings.

	The Human Rights Ombudsman of Bosnia and Herzegovina
		It is, however, self-evident that help should be provided according to the BaH Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and BaH laws, a viewpoint that the US authorities no doubt do not at all question but fully respect.
		To the extent that BaH authorities have provided help without respecting this framework, their handling is not only illegal, illegitimate and shameful but also most unwise not to say quite simply foolish.
		- It is likewise quite understandable - and commendable - that BaH authorities are doing their best to provide such help.

	Historical Context of the Bábi and Bahá'í Faiths 1
		He "manifests" His will to humanity through the series of messengers whom Bahá'ís call "Manifestations of God." The purpose of the Manifestation is to provide perfect guidance not only for the spiritual progress of the individual believer, but also to mold society as a whole.
		Bahá'ís believe that Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, and Muhammad are all equally authentic messengers of one God.
		It was out of this tradition that the Bahá'í religion and its forerunner, the Bábi Faith, appeared in the mid-nineteenth century.

		They have also decided to accompany the text of their petition with a copy of the judgment of the Court, with selections from Bah·'Ì writings, and with the document that sets forth the principles of their national constitution which, with few exceptions, is identical with the Declaration and By-laws promulgated by your Assembly.
		Hitherto regarded as a sect of Isl·m, the Bah·'Ìs of Egypt, who for the most part are of Muslim origin, and unable therefore to refer for purposes of marriage and divorce to the recognized religious tribunals of any other denomination, find themselves in consequence in a delicate and anomalous position.
		The Animating Purpose of Bah·'Ì Institutions And now, it behooves us to reflect on the animating purpose and the primary functions of these divinely-established institutions, the sacred character and the universal efficacy of which can be demonstrated only by the spirit they diffuse and the work they actually achieve.

	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » MONUC seriously concerned about the situation in two territories of Ituri
		Bah said the role of the International community would consist in «encouraging the key transitional players to accelerate the drafting of the laws on the organisation of the elections".
		Bah finally reported that MONUC brought humanitarian assistance to some villages situated along the Congo River, in Province Orientale and the Mission's peacekeepers - in collaboration with the Doctors without borders - started distributing clean drinking water in the Kimbanseke district, Kinshasa, where typhoid fever has been reported.
		He further said "MONUC appeals to the leaders of the Ituri armed groups who are to be sworn in shortly as senior officers of the DR Congo army to take their responsibilities by issuing clear orders to their former militiamen to lay down weapons".

	Sierra Leone News Archives - November 2002 - Sierra Leone Web
		Editor Olu Awoonor-Gordon, who heads the Free Press Committee, said the fight to overturn the law was not a new one: SLAJ first petitioned for the repeal of the criminal libel laws in 1996.
		Bah told the Sierra Leone Web that SLAJ had initially questioned whether the judge had acted properly in calling for the newspaper's closure.
		It is a criminal case, looking after people who bear the greatest responsibility for the tragedy that took place over the past ten years." Crane promised witness protection for those who gave evidence, and he urged the former combatants to come forward for the good of their country, the BBC said.

		They differ in the measure of their teachings and particularly in their social laws and principles, appropriate to the times in which they appeared.
		When I left in 1961 I recollect there were about 800 Bahá’ís in the whole British Isles, and they were already not only operating 25 Local Spiritual Assemblies, but directing the work in east and west Africa, and starting to think about the Pacific, and all sorts of things.

	The Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith
		This administrative order was originally envisaged by Bahá'u'lláh in his Book of Laws and was given further shape by `Abdu'l-Bahá, particularly in His Will and Testament.
		Shoghi Effendi and his great aunt were very close; she, of all the members of his family, understood his crushing grief at the loss of his beloved Grandfather, and she was a wise and loyal support to him during the early years of the Guardianship until her passing in 1932.
		David Hofman, "Shoghi Effendi: Expounder of the Word of God," in The Vision of Shoghi Effendi: Proceedings of the Association for Bahá'í Studies Ninth Annual Conference, November 2-4, 1984, Ottawa, Canada (Association for Bahá'í Studies, 1993), p.

	Kitáb-i-Aqdas
		The laws revealed by Bahá'u'lláh in the Aqdas are, whenever practicable and not in direct conflict with the Civil Law of the land, absolutely binding on every believer or Bahá'í institution whether in the East or in the West.
		What has not been formulated in the Aqdas, in addition to matters of detail and of secondary importance arising out of the application of the laws already formulated by Bahá'u'lláh, will have to be enacted by the Universal House of Justice.
		Following the text of the Aqdas is a brief compilation of Writings of Bahá'u'lláh which are supplementary to the Most Holy Book, and a translation of the Questions and Answers published here for the first time.

	The Life of Shoghi Effendi
		Through the American Bahá'í community, Shoghi Effendi established the "charter"[48] for all national Assemblies by means of the 1927 Bahá'í National Constitution, and the "pattern"[49] for all local Assemblies by means of the By-Laws of the Spiritual Assembly of New York, drafted in 1931.
		Shoghi Effendi decided that the maintenance of his correspondence with individual Bahá'ís around the world as well as with the assemblies was essential for the protection and growth of the Cause.
		Shoghi Effendi's ministry as the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith began in 1921, after a thirty year period of Bahá'í history which he said would be remembered as a time of "tragedies and triumphs...

	The Covenant
		The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the Godhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world of creation...
		Those who refuse to accept the validity of the claim of a Manifestation of God may be said to be breakers of the "greater covenant" but this is not the usual Bahá'í usage.
		The covenant that God made with Abraham that He would make Abraham the father of many nations and bless his descendants (Genesis 17:1-7, 18-21) is invoked when Bahá'u'lláh's ancestry is traced to the line of Abraham through Katurah.

	Baha'i News
		The Book of Certitude includes the much-loved description of the qualities of the 'True Seeker, and in The Seven Valleys Bahá'u'lláh is careful to note the importance of the Unity of God and of following His laws.
		The themes in this book will not be new to Bahá'ís - the symbolic nature of various terms used in prophecy, the stages of the spiritual quest, the continuity of Divine Revelation, and intimations of Bahá'u'lláh's own mission, to name but a few.
		Within a period of 10 years, up to His further banishment to Constantinople, He revealed many works dealing with both mystical and theological themes, the most famous of which, The Book of Certitude and The Seven Valleys, are seen respectively as His foremost theological and mystical works.

	Combating Racism
		Such laws would provide States with voluntary standards with which national legislation could be harmonized.
		These committees have attempted to assist Bahá'ís to free themselves of their own racial prejudices and, beyond that, to contribute to the elimination of racial prejudice in society at large through extensive collaboration with leaders in government, education and religion.
		However, he acknowledges that, despitethe significant contribution of biologists to the elimination of "the fallacious mythology of racial superiority,"social scientists should be encouraged "to explore the hidden and subconscious elements of racism and ways in which it manifests itself" (ibid., para.

		By that he means breaking of laws, such as the consent of parents to marriage etc., or acts of such an immoral character as to damage the good name of the Faith.
		His association, not only with Canada and the inception of the Faith there, but with the World Centre and the Shrine of the Báb, naturally endears him to all the friends, and his grave should be a national memorial.
		May this community, ever aware of the position it occupies, and of the bright prospects unfolding before it, brace itself for one last, supreme effort, and ensure, while there is yet time, the complete and total success of the enterprise to which it stands committed.

		Fortunately, by a justification even crazier than the fictitious laws of the stage Japan, Ko-Ko manages to placate the Mikado, and with laughing song and merry dance, everyone lives happily ever after.
		Gallaher was delighted with The Mikado and was gratified particularly with its success in New Zealand as he essentially had succeeded in staging Part Two (or the sequel in Australia) as the leader in the other country with Pirates and Pinafore to follow in very big footsteps.
		Mikado's video quickly was selling at a pace equal to Pirates as the public was hungry for the next installment to take home.

	The Mikado
		The Mikado reminds them that they will have to be punished for this; he is not the least angry, but the laws decree that "compassing the death of the Heir Apparent," they shall be punished by boiling in oil, or by some similar protracted torture.
		Pooh-Bah and Pish-Tush enter with a letter for Ko-Ko from the Mikado who, struck by the fact that no one has been beheaded in Titipu for a year, threatens to abolish the office of Lord High Executioner unless somebody is executed within a month.
		The Mikado and Katisha go away, and while the trio remain cursing their ill-luck, Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum appear, ready to start on their honeymoon.
