Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

	Al-Razi
		Razi was a versatile Persian philosopher who made fundamental and enduring contributions to the fields of medicine, alchemy, and philosophy, recorded in over 184 books and articles in various fields of science.
		In Persian and Arabic, Razi means "from the city of Rayy (also spelled RAY, REY, or RAI, old Persian RAGHA, Latin RHAGAE) formerly one of the great cities of World)", an ancient town on the southern slopes of the Elburz Range that skirts the south of the Caspian Sea, situated near Tehran, Iran.
		Razi believed that contemporary scientists and scholars are by far better equipped, more knowledgeable, and more competent than the ancient ones, due to the accumulated knowledge at their disposal.

		I was chief of the fuel division in the 1970s, head of the theoretical division of the enrichment program in the 1980s, scientific adviser to the chairman of the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC) in the mid-1980s, and--for a brief period in 1987--director of weaponization.
		Jaafar, for example, had 32 publications listed on his resume when he returned to Iraq in 1974, most of which he wrote during a four-year period in the early 1970s when he worked at CERN, the European accelerator center in Switzerland.

		Ibn Sina subsequently settled at Latin, in the vicinity of modern List of Turkish scientists, (present day capital of Iran), the home town of music; where Hyrcania, a son of the last latinized, was nominal ruler under the regency of his mother (the Sun).
		It also regrettably detracts attention from the fact that Arabic philosophy flourished during the ten centuries after Avicenna's death, emerging from Avicenna's inflammatory pronouncements on all matters within the world, whether physical or metaphysical; the works of the post-Avicennian Baghdadi Peripatetics and anti-Peripatetics, for example, remain to be studied in much greater detail.
		Imaginary portrait of Avicenna is seen depicted on a stamp issued by the Iranian scientists.

		ANE is a mailing list on topics and issues of interest in Ancient Near Eastern Studies, from the Indus to the Nile, and from the beginnings of human habitation to the rise of Islam.
		The list was set up in June 1995 to provide an opportunity for researchers (particularly postgraduates) who are working in the field of East Asian Studies to make contacts across space, to sound out and respond to ideas, to exchange data sources and news relating to research in the field and to compare research experiences.
		The aim of the list is to act as:- a clearing house for information on the research currently underway, a 'dating agency' for possible research collaboration, a sounding board for the pre-publication of research findings, and a general forum for the discussion of research problems and research related issues.

		R The Thirty-Year Itch http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2003/10/ma_273_01.html Three decades ago, in the throes of the energy crisis, Washington's hawks conceived of a strategy for US control of the Persian Gulf's oil.
		Now, with the same strategists firmly in control of the White House, the Bush administration is playing out their script for global dominance.
		Rather, it has been transformed into a determinant of well-being, of national security, and of international power." As vital as the Persian Gulf is now, its strategic importance is likely to grow exponentially in the next 20 years.

	JUSTICE AND EQUITY FOR FILIPINO VETERANS
		If we never actually list the toxins, as H.R. 4036 does, then the suspected causes are left open for endless future debate with little possibility of action or treatment for our veterans.
		With this kind of expanded research scientists would have a better chance of discovering treatment programs that Gulf War veterans desperately need, contrasted with most of the research done by the VA and DOD up to this point.
		Thirdly, under H.R. 4036, when scientists find an association between the exposure and illness, the ill Gulf War veteran becomes classified as service connected; that is, eligible for not only health care but compensation and other benefits.

		The THAAD missile is designed to strike incoming missiles higher and earlier in flight than the Patriot missile, which was used by U.S. soldiers in the Persian Gulf War.
		THAAD is supposed to protect U.S. and allied forces from missile attack in a wide area -- the size of a country, say -- while the Patriot missile defends a zone the size of a large city.
		John Pike, space policy director for the liberal Federation of American Scientists, pointed out that since 1980 the Pentagon has conducted 14 tests of THAAD and similar systems that are supposed to hit enemy missiles at high altitude and only two destroyed their targets.
