A German Judge Cites Koran in Divorce Case

By Veit Medick and Anna Reimann

He beat her and threatened her with murder. But because husband and wife were both from Morocco, a German divorce court judge saw no cause for alarm. It's a religion thing, she argued.

The Koran seems to have become the basis for a court decision in Frankfurt.

The Koran seems to have become the basis for a court decision in Frankfurt.
The case seems simply too strange to be true. A 26-year-old mother of two wanted to free herself from what had become a miserable and abusive marriage.

My JR is crossed with a Scottie dog. She is nearly 8 months old now. For the last two days she has become really clingy and two nights ago she got scared by a cat fight in the garden and crept into my bed (first time ever). This morning I found her sleeping in the spare room. She normally sleeps quite happily in the living room downstairs. She has a dog flap so she can go in and out as she pleases.

Could she be coming into season?

My dog is behaving really badly, constantly whining and howling making it impossible to sleep. He also escapes and goes missing all the time. It's getting really hard to cope. I've heard that if he's neutered it may help but my dad refuses as he says he's too old. He's about 10 now. Is this too old?

for example
f(x) = x^2+4x+2/x^2-2x

w redefine it as

g(x) = x^2+4x+2/x^2-2x if x is not = 2
&
g(x) = 5 if x=2



i don't get it.. how can u just redefine a function ??? and if we were asked to redefine a function to make it continuous everywhere what value should we equal it to?

as the bible was written by so many different people, they could have all been of there faces on drugs yes it sounds ridiculous right? but substaces were around in those days and they would not know what it was so..they would like the feeling and carry on doing or taking what ever they had found! so hilusinations as such does seem like a possible solution to some of the things written in the bible as we all know some of the events that was said to happen would never in this life ever occur ..unless you are off your head on drugs!
