Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik (691 – 6 February 743) (Arabic: هشام بن عبد الملك) 10th Umayyad caliph who ruled from 724 until his death in 743. When he was born in 691 his mother named him after her father.
Inheriting the caliphate from his brother Yazid II, Hisham was ruling an empire with many different problems. He would, however, be effective in attending to these problems, and in allowing the Umayyad empire to continue as an entity. His long rule was an effective one, and it saw a rebirth of reforms that were originated by Umar bin Abd al-Aziz.
Like his brother al-Walid I, Hisham was a great patron of the arts, and he again encouraged arts in the empire. He also encouraged the growth of education by building more schools, and perhaps most importantly, by overseeing the translation of numerous literary and scientific masterpieces into Arabic. He returned to a stricter interpretation of the Sharia as Umar had, and enforced it, even upon his own family. His ability to stand up to the Umayyad clan may have been an important factor in his success, and may point to why his brother Yazid was ineffective.
Day to Day (D2D) was a one-hour weekday American radio newsmagazine distributed by National Public Radio (NPR), and produced by NPR in collaboration with Slate. Madeleine Brand served as host since 2006. Topics regularly covered by D2D included news, entertainment, politics and the arts; contributors included familiar NPR personalities, reporters from NPR member stations, writers for Slate, and reporters from Marketplace, a show produced by American Public Media. D2D premiered on Monday, July 28, 2003, and fed to stations from noon ET with updates through 4:00 p.m. ET. It was the fastest growing program in NPR's history.
On December 10, 2008, NPR announced Day to Day would be canceled with its final episode to be broadcast on March 20, 2009. According to NPR as of December 2008 Day to Day was airing on 186 stations and attracting a weekly cumulative audience of 1.8 million listeners.
According to Dennis Haarsager, NPR's acting CEO, D2D was not "attracting sufficient levels of audience or national underwriting necessary to sustain continued production" now that NPR's projected budget deficit for the 2009 fiscal year grew from $2 million in July, to $23 million in December.

Every word comes out
An understatement
Everyone tries to find a way to love
Everytime that I close my eyes, I
Drift away like the Santiam River
Every heart goes back to its home
And it's strange to need You
As a spring love trades for june bugs
Is it vain to leave You again?
Any script written
Could not contain You
True love's not like it's played in a movie
When I close my eyes, I feel You with me
'Cause You bled for a love that is holy
Every heart goes back to its home
And it's strange to need You
As a spring love trades for june bugs
Is it vain to leave You again?
There the river runs beneath
There the river runs beneath
And as it runs, so I will leave
There the river runs beneath
There the river runs beneath (to need You)
There the river runs beneath (to leave You)
And as it runs, so I will leave (to need You)
