...DOES STRENGTH TRAINING HELP RELIEVE THE PAIN OF OSTEOARTHRITIS, THE WEAR-AND-TEAR FORM OF ARTHRITIS? By helping the joints align and function better--and also because strong muscles absorb shock during movement. Think of a car with worn-out shock absorbers. When you go over a pothole, the car gets a big jolt. The same happens with weak muscles. You can't absorb the shock, and it's painful. There may be some other biochemical factors as well...
...geopolitical situations are ever the same, of course, and comparisons are apt to be misleading.

...first Reid did not align himself with extremist groups. On leaving prison in 1994, he gravitated to the Brixton Mosque and Islamic Cultural Center, a rundown Victorian house in the heart of black London. The Brixton mosque has a reputation for homeyness. Each morning children stream into the mosque's schools, brought by mothers in head scarves or veils. The mosque doesn't ask many questions about a believer's past. When you come to Islam, says the mosque's chairman, Abdul Haqq Baker, you make a fresh start. Each Friday 400 to 500 worshippers attend prayers, the majority...
