Population matters: website ideas

Brilliant job on the site with clear sectional referencing. When I suggested this I hardly hoped it would be done so well. Outstanding.

Menu changes/end of page links

One of the difficulties with the page is that when a user mouses over the header and onto a section title such as "Issues and solutions" and sees that the side menu appears and seed the list of interesting options like "population" etc. the users may pass through not realising that there even was an accessible section of text directly relating to the section title itself.

Recommendation:

	Current	recommended
menu title	Issues & solutions	Issues & solutions
drop down menu content	Population Environment >>  Natural resources >> Consumption >> Sustainability: I=PAT Read more	Issues & solutions > Population Environment >> Natural resources >>  Consumption >> Sustainability: I=PAT Read more

At the bottom of each page a "top" link could be added

Alternatively, a sectional directory could be added at the end of each article. A sectional directory, if you were say on the /issues-solutions/population/ page, could work in a number of ways such as:

Home page
> Issues and solutions
>> Population (back to top)
>>> Aging
>>>Conflict & migration
>>>Smaller families
>>>Reproductive health
>>>Women's rights

The Life of Mammals (2002) David Attenborough

Three and a half million years separate the individual who left these footprints in the sands of Africa from the one who left them on the moon. A mere blink in the eye of evolution. Using his burgeoning intelligence, this most successful of all mammals has exploited the environment to produce food for an ever-increasing population. In spite of disasters when civilisations have over-reached themselves, that process has continued, indeed accelerated, even today. Now mankind is looking for food, not just on this planet but on others. Perhaps the time has now come to put that process into reverse. Instead of controlling the environment for the benefit of the population, perhaps it's time we control the population to allow the survival of the environment.

Closing lines FINAL EPISODE

“We cannot continue to deny the problem. People have pushed aside the question of population sustainability and not considered it because it is too awkward, embarrassing and difficult. But we have to talk about it.″  Sir David Attenborough, Patron, Population Matters

Can I write something like :

It was considered that voting rights should be given to people who had clear concerns for the issue of population. On this basis it was decided that they should not be easily given to people that might have various other political agendas and who might simply pay a subscription and turn up at an AGM.

Population matters Policy goals

(a paraphrased content of goals follows): Population Matters "recommend that the following should be taken into consideration":

• an acknowledgement of population growth as one of the factors that increases damage to the environment in a way that reduces everyone’s share of natural resources;
• the achievement of a stable and ethically acceptable transition to a sustainable population;
• an acknowledgement that an overall number of carbon emitters increases with all population growth;
• an improved provision of family planning and sex education;
• an empowerment of women both generally and specifically in relation to decisions concerning family size;
• a support of developing countries towards sustainable development and population stabilisation;
• a personal responsibility to stabilise our numbers;
• a reduction in unplanned pregnancies supported by better sexual health and relationships education, and by a well funded contraceptive services for all people including adolescents;
• a minimisation of one country's dependence on the resources of other countries which, in the case of high population, high consumption countries, would be partly achieved through the country's limitation of its immigration rate to the level of its emigration rate;
• a local meeting of labour demands in high population nations rejecting a case of more young people being required to care of an increasing elderly population so as to avoiding an ecological pyramid in which each generation impoverishes the next;
• individuals considering how many children they have within tax and benefits systems that balance reproductive rights with social responsibilities;
• a high level of focus being given to a population policy implementation by senior politicians.

Research and Campaign

Areas of research include: climate change, energy requirements, biodiversity, and other environmental factors in relation to population numbers. Campaigns include: population stabilisation and gradual decrease to sustainable levels for both the world and the United Kingdom. In 2009, the organisation issued a study asserting that contraception was the cheapest way of combating climate change.

Reproductive rights

The issue of reproductive rights is frequently mentioned in discussions and articles by organisations campaigning for population stabilisation. An example is Population Matters who have a claimed goal of a sustainable future that they claim to aim to achieve through education, research, lobbying and campaigning.

Executive Summary

1. It is forbidden in Islam to issue fatwas without all the necessary learning requirements. Even then fatwas must follow Islamic legal theory as defined in the Classical texts. It is also forbidden to cite a portion of a verse from the Qur’an—or part of a verse—to derive a ruling without looking at everything that the Qur’an and Hadith teach related to that matter. In other words, there are strict subjective and objective prerequisites for fatwas, and one cannot ‘cherry-pick’ Qur’anic verses for legal arguments without considering the entire Qur’an and Hadith.
2. It is forbidden in Islam to issue legal rulings about anything without mastery of the Arabic language.
3. It is forbidden in Islam to oversimplify Shari’ah matters and ignore established Islamic sciences.
4. It is permissible in Islam [for scholars] to differ on any matter, except those fundamentals of religion that all Muslims must know.
5. It is forbidden in Islam to ignore the reality of contemporary times when deriving legal rulings.
6. It is forbidden in Islam to kill the innocent.
7. It is forbidden in Islam to kill emissaries, ambassadors, and diplomats; hence it is forbidden to kill journalists and aid workers.
8. Jihad in Islam is defensive war. It is not permissible without the right cause, the right purpose and without the right rules of conduct.
9. It is forbidden in Islam to declare people non-Muslim unless he (or she) openly declares disbelief.
10. It is forbidden in Islam to harm or mistreat—in any way—Christians or any ‘People of the Scripture’.
11. It is obligatory to consider Yazidis as People of the Scripture.
12. The re-introduction of slavery is forbidden in Islam. It was abolished by universal consensus.
13. It is forbidden in Islam to force people to convert.
14. It is forbidden in Islam to deny women their rights.
15. It is forbidden in Islam to deny children their rights.
16. It is forbidden in Islam to enact legal punishments (hudud) without following the correct procedures that ensure justice and mercy.
17. It is forbidden in Islam to torture people.
18. It is forbidden in Islam to disfigure the dead.
19. It is forbidden in Islam to attribute evil acts to God .
20. It is forbidden in Islam to destroy the graves and shrines of Prophets and Companions.
21. Armed insurrection is forbidden in Islam for any reason other than clear disbelief by the ruler and not allowing people to pray.
22. It is forbidden in Islam to declare a caliphate without consensus from all Muslims.
23. Loyalty to one’s nation is permissible in Islam.
24. After the death of the Prophet , Islam does not require anyone to emigrate anywhere.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds,
Peace and Blessings be upon the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers

By the declining day, Lo! man is a state of loss, Save those who believe and do good works, and
exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance. ('Al-‘Asr, 103: 1-3)

Open Letter

To Dr. Ibrahim Awwad Al-Badri, alias ‘Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi’,
To the fighters and followers of the self-declared ‘Islamic State’,
Peace and the mercy of God be upon you.
During your sermon dated 6^th of Ramadan 1435 AH (4^th July 2014 CE), you said, paraphrasing Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq : ‘If you find what I say and do to be true, then assist me, and if you find what I say and do to be false, then advise me and set me straight.’ In what follows is a scholarly opinion via the media. The Prophet said: ‘Religion is [rectifying] advice.’ Everything said here below relies completely upon the statements and actions of followers of the ‘Islamic State’ as they themselves have promulgated in social media—or upon Muslim eyewitness accounts—and not upon other media. Every effort has been made to avoid fabrications and misunderstandings. Moreover, everything said here consists of synopses written in a simple style that reflect the opinions of the overwhelming majority of Sunni scholars over the course of Islamic history.

In one of his speeches, Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani said: ‘God bless Prophet Muhammad who was sent with the sword as a mercy to all worlds.’ This statement comprises compounded confusions and a mistaken paradigm. Yet it is often repeated by followers of the ‘Islamic State’. Now God sent the Prophet Muhammad as a mercy to all worlds: ‘We did not send you, except as a mercy to all the worlds.’ (Al-Anbiya’, 22: 107). This is true for all time and place. The Prophet was sent as mercy to people, animals, plants, to the heavens and to subtle beings—no Muslims disagree about this. It is a general and unconditional statement taken from the Qur’an itself. However, the phrase, ‘sent with the sword’ is part of a Hadith that is specific to a certain time and place which have since expired. Thus it is forbidden to mix the Qur’an and Hadith in this way, as it is forbidden to mix the general and specific, and the conditional and unconditional.

Moreover, God has prescribed mercy upon Himself: ‘… Your Lord has prescribed for Himself mercy …’ (Al-An’am, 6:54). God also states that His mercy encompasses all things: ‘… My mercy embraces all things …’ (Al-A’raf, 7:156). In an authentic Hadith, the Prophet said: ‘When God created Creation, He wrote in place above His throne, with Himself “Truly, My mercy is greater than My wrath.”’ Accordingly, it is forbidden to equate ‘the sword’—and thus wrath and severity—with ‘mercy’. Furthermore, it is forbidden to make the idea ‘mercy to all worlds’ subordinate to the phrase ‘sent with the sword’, because this would mean that mercy is dependent upon the sword, which is simply not true. Besides, how could ‘a sword’ affect realms where swords have no effect, such as the heavens, subtle beings and plants? The Prophet Muhammad’s being a mercy to all the worlds cannot possibly be conditional upon his having taken up the sword (at one point in time, for a particular reason and in a particular context). This point is not merely academic. Rather, it reveals the essence of much of what is to follow since it erroneously equates the sword and Divine mercy.

English Rose

English Rose usually refers to one of England's national emblems, the Tudor Rose. The term is also a complimentary description of an English lady of fair complexion. The latter is intrisic to English romantic imagery. Recently prevelent in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as a reflection of older references to fair English women, where in pre-Arthurian texts the Celtic derivation of pale, 'Gwen', was given to Arthur's wife, and the term 'fair', beyond a quality of complexion, became synonymous with beauty, gentleness, purity, and association with nature and landscape.

People who have been described with the words "English rose" include: Gemma Arterton, Kate Beckinsale, Emily Blunt, Helena Bonham Carter, Emilia Clarke, Princess Diana, Alice Eve, Emilia Fox, Keira Knightley, Anna Friel, Elizabeth Hurley, Kate Middleton, Sienna Miller, Helen Mirren, Jane Seymour, Elizabeth Taylor, Emma Watson, Rachel Weisz, Holly Willoughby,

I never wanted to be an English rose. Now I know I'm not.[[]], 

English Rose may also refer to:

• Roses bred by David Austin.
• English Rose an album by rock band Fleetwood Mac.
• English Rose a song by The Jam.
• The English Roses a children's book by singer Madonna.
