The methodology of the Seminar is Qurʾanist inasmuch as scholars are encouraged to address the Qurʾan directly and to not rely on classical exegesis as a lens through which to view the text.
The Qurʾan Seminar website has two principal elements. First, the website includes a database of passages of the Qurʾan with commentaries from a range of scholars. This database is meant to be a resource for students and specialists of the Qurʾan alike. The commentaries might be quoted and referenced by citing the corresponding url. Access to the Qurʾan Seminar website is open to all members of IQSA.
The beginning point for most new discussions is the annual meeting of IQSA, during which time sessions of the Qurʾan Seminar take place. As a rule the passages discussed during those sessions will be presented on the forum section of the Qurʾan Seminar website during the following year. Those interested in the Qurʾan Seminar are encouraged to submit proposals to participate in those sessions The Call for Papers is regularly announced in December, with the Annual Meeting taking place the following November (for more information on how to become a member of IQSA see http://iqsaweb.org).Finland’s Keva has seen double-digit growth in its listed equity portfolio, with year-to-date returns up to 4.8%, according to its third-quarter results.
The fund, responsible for the pensions of local government workers, also saw its exposure to fixed income fall further after a second quarter of losses from its bond portfolio.
Chief executive Merja Ailus said the results – which saw assets under management increase by €1.3bn to €36.6bn – should be considered “very reasonable”, but struck a note of caution.
CIO Ari Huotari added that, while the global economy has been showing signs of improvement, global capital markets are still being “overshadowed by concerns” over how central banks are squeezing liquidity.
Nonetheless, investment returns for the first nine months of the year improved to 4.8%, above the 3.8% return of the first quarter, or the 2.3% seen in the six months to June.
The rise was largely down to a strong performance by Keva’s listed equity and equity fund holdings, accounting for 38% of assets under management.
The portfolio returned 11.2%, outperforming all other asset classes.
Despite the 0.2% loss posted by the fund’s fixed income holdings – at the end of September accounting for 45.8% of assets compared with 47.6% in June – Keva’s small commodities portfolio saw the single-biggest loss of 3.6%, an improvement on the portfolio’s 7.5% loss for the first six months of the year.
Hedge fund investments worth around €1.2bn returned 7.1%, behind the 8.5% investment return by its private equity portfolio.
Real estate returned 3%.

Transfer Top-Level-Dir+All Subdirs Before Next TLD
Description
As it is now, when transferring directory structures,
FZ has a strange way of doing it. Instead of
transferring all files and directories in each
top-level directory, it seems to transfer some files
and dirs in each TLD, then goes to a "level two" in
each TLD, and then a "level three" in each TLD. At
least, that's how it seems.
A better way would be to transfer all files and dirs in
each TLD before going to the next TLD. For example,
consider this remote tree:
/
dirA
level1
level2
dirB
level1
level2
dirC
If that remote tree was transferred to the local tree
with FZ, FZ *should* transfer /dirA, /dirA/level1, and
/dirA/level1/level2 *before* transferring anything in
/dirB. It should then transfer everything in /dirB
before moving on to /dirC.
The reason is simple: if a transfer is aborted, and the
queue is lost (with FZ currently unable to export large
queues, this is a very real problem), you can easily
find what directories have been completely transferred,
and which ones have been partially transferred, and
proceed to transfer the rest. As it is now, if you
lose your queue, the only way to be sure you get all of
the files is to START ALL OVER AGAIN. When
transferring 30,000+ files totalling several GIGABYTES
in size this is VERY frustrating.
I hope that was understandable enough. If you need
more clarification, let me know.

Directory Tree Example
That directory tree didn't come out right. Here's an image.It will be a face-off of gargantuan proportions.
Nine’s Grand Final of The Voice is going head to head with Seven’s Grand Final of Dancing with the Stars.
Both shows will air on Sunday June 17th.
Seven has scheduled a live 3 hour finale for Dancing with the Stars from 6:30pm, followed by Castle at 9:30pm. Downton Abbey is out for the night.
Nine meanwhile has The Block at 6:30pm followed by a two hour finale for The Voice at 7:30pm. But while the talent show has its “Grand Final” the winner won’t actually be announced until a 90 minute episode the following night, Monday June 18th.
Nine is understood to have ordered one extra episode for its hit series to capitalise on the show’s huge success.
With The Block and The Voice Nine is likely to have the edge for the night. That’s the way to set up another winning week.
Maybe Seven could hit back with Downton Abbey at 9:30pm if it wants to win the night?
They don’t share the same audience so they probably compliment each other in the end. Dancing skews much older and don’t have the youthful “coolness” of The Voice. Guess we’ll wait and find out!
Downton should remain at 8.30pm or really 8.40+pm. So it’s better they skip a week. I just hope SBS will have something worth watching instead. If not them then someone else. I like Castle at 9.30pm. So good decision keeping it there. Thank you.
I watch both shows but The Voice will slaughter dwts. The Voice will get 3 milliont to dwts 1.3 million tops. All the big personalities have gone from dwts. The rest with Fev being the exception, are rather dull.
The Voice final at 9.30 P.M?Surely that’s too late,isn’t it?Wouldn’t it be more like 7.30 or 8.30?
I don’t watch much reality tv, but I do watch these two shows….No David, I’ll be happy if they leave Downton until the next week.
Avatar was 3 hours.
At least is had 3D.
Considering DWTS lower ratings this year I don’t think Seven should drag out the finale, just keep it to two hours for a higher average and stick with the high ratings Downton Abbey at 8:30pm
Touch will still be the best program on TV that night.MC-CDMA, OFDM, CPM, BER, multipath Rayleigh fading.
In this paper, we present a hybrid communication system based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) that employs the concept of Continuous Phase Modulation (CPM). The novel scheme is called OFDM CPM-CDMA. We describe the discrete-time structures of transmitter and receiver and evaluate performance for a reverse channel environment (mobile-base station) using an optimum multiple-symbol observation receiver over a 2-ray Rayleigh fading and additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the proposed system outperforms the conventional MC-CDMA schemes.Mukhang Pera is gaining popularity every single day.
