The goalkeeper saved from Ben Barnes during a dramatic shootout to set up a crunch home clash with Premier Division table toppers Canterbury on Sunday.
Player-coach Ian Jennings - one of the five Guildford players to keep a cool head during the spot drama - admitted:
"It was very exciting. Nick was tremendous in goal but it was a great team performance.
"The players showed a lot of courage. No one likes to go out like that and thankfully we were victorious, though another time we might not be."
Guildford's four other successful penalty takers were Danny Hall, Roly Ward, Stuart Matton and Adrian Wilkinson, who clinched the last four spot with the fifth.
Jennings went on: "When we played Reading at their place at the start of the season we scored on the break and then held on for grim life.
"But this time we competed well and were as good as them in all aspects, so it showed all the improvements we have made this season.
"Everything now is a bonus. We have got over the first hurdle and next is Canterbury."
Sunday's Broadwater victors can look forward to a play-off championship final against holders Cannock. The Staffordshire side booked their place at Milton Keynes on Bank Holiday Monday, May 1 with a 1-0 success over Canterbury. Unusual competition rules mean that the Kent outfit get a second chance to qualify this weekend.
One man Guildford will have to stop is their former player David Mathews. The forward has cracked 34 goals this season and Jennings recognised the youngster's threat. He said: "He has scored a lot of goals and we must stop him getting chances, which is one area of our game plan we will have to work on.
"We are good enough to beat them, though they have beaten us twice this season and appear to be a bit of a bogey side.
"We will be slight underdogs and it would be nice to reach the final"
Wilkinson fired Guild-ford into an 18th minute lead against Reading, finishing off a good move involving GB star Guy Fordham and Jennings.
Ken Robinson levelled for the hosts before half time from a well-worked short corner only for Fordham's Britain team-mate Danny Hall to restore Guildford's lead on 51 minutes.
The visitors looked to be on their way until John Wyatt equalised again with 30 seconds left.
An extra 15 minutes, incorporating the golden goal rule, failed to decide it giving Taylor his chance to emerge as the hero of the shootout.

Professor R. F. Holland
Philosopher loyal to Wittgenstein's principles whose thought was ingenious, his writing sublime and his teaching inspired
R. F. (Roy) Holland was perhaps the most original of the philosophers known as "the Swansea Wittgensteinians" or "the Swansea School" and wrote some of the best philosophical prose of his generation.
His group, which included Peter Winch and D. Z. Phillips, was profoundly influenced by the example and teaching of Rush Rhees, whom Wittgenstein used to visit at Swansea in the 1940s. Holland took up a post as lecturer in philosophy at the University College of Swansea in 1950.
His was a distinctive voice, always elegant, sometimes severe, sometimes playful and often moving. He could be exhilarating when he exposed and then demolished assumptions, which, without one's realising it, had underpinned beliefs one took to be basic. Or, when by a series of examples,…

The Philippines or the Republic of the Philippines (officially), is a Southeast Asian country. It is an archipelago of 7,107 islands located in the western Pacific Ocean. Manila is its capital city.
Geographically, the Philippines can be divided into three parts, namely, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. With all these islands combined, the country's coastline is the fifth longest in the world, spanning 36,289 kilometers. It is considered as Asia's largest Catholic country of Asia, since Spanish colonial times. Further, the Philippines is the world's 12th most populated country with approximately 92 million people (as of 2009).
The country can be reached by plane. Other means of traveling are not feasible as the Philippines is an archipelago. Some major airports are in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Clark (Angeles), Kalibo, Laoag, Subic (Zambales), and Zamboanga.

ZPR's quantitative strategies are based on research studies which assess how a particular set of investment rules would have performed historically. These studies typically try to identify stock market anomalies, or sets of conditions where stocks are mispriced and the potential for excess return exists.
In this process the research is done up front, in the study and design of the strategy. Over time a strategy will often be refined based on actual experience or subsequent research. We typically implement these strategies in a disciplined way, not allowing other information or judgment to influence the decisions. However, it's impossible to anticipate all real world situations in a study design, and we review decisions to ensure that they fit the strategy objectives. The review and implementation is typically performed at preset intervals (often quarterly) which matches the historical research.
With a quantitative strategy our objective is typically to achieve in the future what we have seen in the past in our research. So we want to match the research as closely as possible while still making sensible decisions regarding implementation. We don't typically perform our Fundamental Analysis on these companies, since that could alter the nature of the strategy and muddy the linkage to our research results.
Several of ZPR's quantitative strategies have relatively high turnover and may be more suitable for non-taxable accounts. Please consult with us regarding your specific needs.

I made this card for a challenge with 'Fairies' as a theme. I used A Spoon Full of Sugar's sketch #54 and Creative Card Crew's theme is 'Childrens card'. The colours did I choose because Colour Create's challenge #18 is 'Rainbow + a scene'. All well this far. It's just that I don't like the card at all. I therefore dropped the first challenge. I was planning to throw the card in the bin, but my daughter thought the card was sooo nice and that I had to enter it. I have hereby done that, but it won't make me like it:-)
mandag 8. juni 2009
Eg laga dette kortet til ei utfordring med 'Fairies' som tema. Nytta A Spoon Full of Sugar si skisse 54 og Creative Card Crew har som tema 'Childrens card'. Fargane valde eg fordi Colour Create hadde 'Rainbow + a scene' som temai veke 18. Så langt alt vel. Det er berre det at eg likar ikkje kortet i det heile tatt. Eg droppa derfor den fyrste utfordringa. Hadde tenkt å kaste heile kortet. Men so seier dottera mi at ho synest kortet var sooo fint og at eg måtte sende det inn. Herved er det gjort, men eg likar det ikkje noko betre fordi :-)

Introduction to Mostalah Hadeeth
-we go back to the time Prophet (SAW) and then see, who is the Sahabi that carried the message
-our goal is to make sure what the Prophet (SAW) said is attributed to him
Miqdam ibn Mad ikarib (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said: "Verily! I was given the Quran and its equal with it (the Sunnah). There may be a man, his stomach is full and he is (laying) on his couch, and saying: 'Hold fast to this Quran. Whatever you find of 'permissible matters, take it as permissible, and whatever you find in it of prohibitions, consider it prohibited,' However, whatever the Messenger of Allah renders impermissible is equal to what Allah renders impermissible. Verily, (the meat of) domestic donkeys is impermissible, also all carnivores which have fangs, also all what one finds that belongs to a Mu 'aahid (people of the Scripture who live under Muslim rule) unless its owner gives it away. And whoever stays with a people (as a guest), then they must be generous to him, if they do not, then he can take from them what he needs (of sustenance)." [Abu Dawood 4587, Tirmidhi 2673, Ibn Majah 12, Ahmed 17194]
-the Sunnah is the explanation of the Quran
-so in order for us to understand anything that the Prophet has said
-we have to be sure that the Prophet has said it
-and this message originates from his holy and honorable mouth
-then it goes through the first inner circle (Sahabah)
DEFINITION OF A SAHABI (Limits of Sahabah)
i) has met the Prophet (SAW) in reality not a dream
ii) has died as Muslims
iii) when the Prophet died he was pleased with them
-those Sahabah are the first inner circle, we have a limit of 110 AH
-in terms of time, the last Sahabah died in that year (110 Hijri)
-this was a prophecy of the Prophet which came to pass
Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) narrated : Allah's Messenger led us in the salah of Isha towards the end of his life. When he had finished, he stood up and said, "Do you see this night of yours? After a hundred years from it, there will not remain anyone of those on the face of the earth today." Ibn Umar (RA) said that the people misinterpreted Allah's Messenger (SAW) saying as not remaining for a hundred years though he only said, "There will not remain anyone of those today on the face of the earth after a qarn" (which is a hundred years or a generation). [Tirmidhi 2258, Bukhari 116, Muslim 2537, Abu Dawud 4348]
iv) born before the death of the Prophet (10 AH)
v) died before the year 110 AH
-people who have been born after the year 10 Hijri (the death of Prophet)
-these people cannot be called the Sahabah because they have not met the Prophet
-some ulama say that the Prophet died in the year 11 AH, some say 12 AH and some say 13 AH
-we say 10AH following Imam Ibn Hajar al-Ashqalani's (d. 852 H) method as an indication/marker
-so the people who have been born after the year 10 H are called TABI'EEN
-those Tabi'een, some of them were born in the Khilafah of:
-Abu Bakr (RA), Umar (RA), Uthman (RA) and Ali (RA)
-the people who were born during these Khilafah are called the Tabi'een
-some of them had such a very strong relationship with the Sahabah
-that if they say something and they don't give you the name of who told them that
-some ulama have said that we may assume that he heard it from the Sahabah
-so they pass the Hadeeth as Hadeeth Sahih (authentic)
THE THRID CIRCLE - TABI'EE TABI'EEN (followers of the followers)
-the ulama have said they would be born after the year 150 H
-some ulama like Imam Al-Dhahabi (d. 748 H) said after more time 200 H
-so they would be the people in the third circle who heard from:
Tabi'ee > Sahabi > Prophet
-the Prophet who is the center of the circle
>year 10 – (Tabi'een)
>year 150~200 (Tabi'ee Tabi'een)
>year 200~220 (Sighar At-Tabi'een [youngest followers])
>year 250
-so these are all like a big circle
-the ulama have put these as their measuring tape
e.g. if we get a Hadeeth from Sa'ed ibn Al-Mosayyeb (RH) (d. 94 H)
-he is one of the 7 A'imma of Medina, he's very famous
-if he gives us Ahadeeth, we look and say Sa'ed ibn Al-Mosayyeb was born during the Khilafah of Umar (RA)
-so he must have heard it from Umar or someone within this circle
-and the Sahabi must have heard it from the Prophet (saw)
e.g. we get a Hadeeth which starts from Shu'ba Ibn Al-Hajjaj (RH) (d 160 H)
-he is a middle generation Tabi'ee
-i.e. he heard it from > Sa'ed ibn Al-Mosayyeb > Umar > Prophet
The Chain of Narrators
-the way which it is going depends on time
-so we look for when did this man die
-when he died was there a person alive from the higher rank? If yes,
-who did he hear it from and who did so-and-so hear it from?
-we go back historically by time, measure by numbers
-we also have another factor which today we shall talk about and it's an important factor
-it is not the factor of history, it's is the factor of geography
-someone may ask, what do you mean?
-we all know Hadeeth was written after the year 99 Hijri, at the beginning of the second century
-what happened during the period after the Prophet (SAW)'s death and that year (99 AH)?
-so many events, starting from the Prophets death
-The False Prophet (Musaylimah al-Kadhab)
-Sahabah going to Al-Yamama, Najd (east Saudi Arabia) to fight, so many Sahabah died
-Conquest of Syria (Byzantine Empire)
-the envoy of Osama ibn Zayd (RA), in which he took thousands of Sahabah
-to fulfill the request of Prophet (SAW) by conquering the Romans
-Conquest of Faaris (Persia)
-then Wars of Khalid Ibn Waleed (RA) in Shaam
-next the time of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (RA), annihilating Persians and Romans, cleansing all of Arabia of Kufr
-next the time of Uthman Ibn Affaan (RA), when Islam became a truly international religion
-there were more Muslims coming from Bukhara, Samarkand (Uzbekistan)
- than there were Muslims from Yemen
-which is next-door to Arabia
-there were more Muslims coming from North Africa than Arabia, in the time of Uthman (RA)
-due to all these events, this meant the Sahabah dispersed geographically
-then came the time when Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)
-started his Khilafah and the fitna happened
-the Sahabah went to Iraq, then Ali (RA) himself moved the capital of his Khilafah to Kuufa,
-instead of Medina where it was, the Ummah was ruled from the Mosque of the Prophet (SAW)
-Ali (RA) was killed in Kuufa (Iraq) and never came back to Medina,
-and no one knows where he was buried
-the place where the Shia go to now, in Najaf, is not where Ali ibn Abi Talib is
-it's not Ali ibn Abi Talib in there, it's actually Mugheera ibn Shu'bah (RA) whose buried there, not Ali (RA)
-Ammar ibn Yaasir (RA) was also buried in that country
-Anas ibn Malik (RA), Hussain ibn Ali (RA) were also buried in Iraq, hundreds of Sahabah were
-then Khilafah moved to Damascus according to Umawi state
-Abu Ubaidah Amir bin Abdullah bin al-Jarrah (RA) was buried in Jordan,
- killed due to the disease, black plague
-Khalid ibn Waleed was buried in Syria
-Mu'awiya (RA) was buried in Damascus
-geographically the Sahabah were dispersed so much
-there are Sahabah buried in Egypt, Yemen, Oman,
-the events that ensued afterwards were very bad, during the Khilafah of Yazeed ibn Mu'awiya
-he had resistance from Abdullah ibn Az-Zubair (RA)
-he did not accept Yazeed should be Khalifah, so there was another war
-this war meant some Sahabah were killed and some of them migrated away from Medina
-afraid of being killed by the armies coming from Syria
-so they went to other countries, lived there and were buried there
E.g. if somebody said they heard a Hadeeth from Ummul Mu'mineen Aisha (RA)
-and this person has not been to Iraq or Hejaz (Makkah, Medina and Jeddah)
-if they've not been to these places and give Hadeeth narrated by Aisha (RA)
-do we accept it? Definitely we will not accept it! Absolutely no!
-Why? because Aisha did not leave these places
-she spent all of her adult life in Medina, she only went to Basra during the battle of the Jamal (Camel)
-there's another reason also that makes it difficult (to narrate from Aisha)
-the women of the Prophet (SAW), were not easy to access, you can't have access to them easily
-you have to be known, because they are the mothers of all the believers
-out all the Hadeeth given from Aisha (RA), I find maybe 98% were narrated by her servant or nephew
-Urwah ibn Zubayr (RH) (d. 94 H) son of Asma bint Abi Bakr, he was mahram
but if somebody who is a total stranger i.e. Shahr ibn Hawshab
-I have reason to believe he is Shi'a, even though he does not occur as such in our books
-I have had extensive knowledge on this particular person during my PhD preparation
-I have found he is one of the many Shia in the book of Hu'ee
-there are many question marks around this man's life
-if this man narrated a Hadeeth, the ulama have said we don't accept
-the reason being, how could he have had access to Aisha (RA)? It's next to impossible
-so the geographical factor has to be counted
HOW DO WE CLASSIFY OUR WORK? By the following rules:
The Hadeeth of Ahlul Medina Is Most Likely Authentic
-People of Medina are like: Saed ibn Al-Mosayyeb, Urwah ibn Zubayr,
-Sufyan ibn Uyaynah (d. 198 H) etc. and many more
-if a Hadeeth is mentioned and you find the names of the people end up with al-Madani (man from Madina)
-or has the word al-Madani somewhere along the title, you would expect it to be authentic
-it's not a rule, it's initially a guideline
This Also Applies To Hadeeth of Ahlul Makkah
-even though there isn't that many people from Makkah, you may ask why?
-even though Makkah is the birth place of Islam, the Prophet (SAW) was born in Makkah
-the reason is because the Prophet has made a decision on all the muhajireen,
-those who made hijra from Makkah,
- 'don't go back to Makkah, stay in Medina'
-the reason according to Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi (RH) (d. 463 H) and other scholars
-the Prophet wanted to gather all ilm (knowledge) in one place
-so that when people want to take ilm, they will go and gather it from Medina
-so it wouldn't be difficult for the knowledge seeker to seek knowledge, everything in one place
-all the muhajireen who died were not buried in Makkah except one Sahabi, who was a special case
-he died during Hajj, the Prophet said he would be buried in his Ihram clothes
-we have other Sahabah, some people say they are exceptions, but they are not exceptions
-it's because they don't understand well,
-they use the example of Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) because he was buried in Makkah
-but Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) was not muhaajir, so the law doesn't apply to him
-because he was born in Medina, he never did hijrah,
-so you can't apply the law to him, he's not an exception
-the exception is for people who were born in Makkah and made hijrah
-some ulama say even Abdullah ibn Abbas doesn't apply because he was not buried in Makkah
-he was actually buried in at-Ta'if, another city totally different
Here We Start Talking About Iraq and counting Troubles
-because Kuufa (Iraq) was made the capital of Islam, Ali ibn Abi Talib lived there
-and Sahabah lived there in the different cities (i.e. Basra, Kuufa and Baghdad etc.)
-the Sahabah of Kuufa were with Ali ibn Abi Talib in his war
-they were really well known and famous Sahabah
Magg'ii / Majoos (Fire Worshippers of Persia)
-however there is a little problem here, the people around Ali ibn Abi Talib,
-some of the people loved him so much, they made another Jesus out of him, they worshipped him
-Ali ibn Abi Talib burnt them alive because they worshipped him
-these were the forefathers of some of the current Shia
-these were not people from Medina or Arab, they were Magg'ie, Majoos from Iran
-these people have done that because they were used to this,
- worship of humans, it's natural for them
-so when they did that, Ali ibn Abi Talib tried all his Juhud (all his effort) to suppress this fitna
-naturally he couldn't manage to remove them all, some of them survived
-like a man called Sulaim ibn Qays Hilali (d. 76 H), he wrote a famous book
-those people in their Majoos religion, if you become cornered
-and you have no other means of escaping but by lying and showing what is against your own beliefs
-or if you are in danger whatsoever you are allowed to lie,
-this in Islam has a background when Ammar ibn Yaasir was tortured to near death to say bad things
-about the Prophet, the Prophet said to him, if they try to torture you again
-say what they want you to say to save your life
-those people (Magg'ii) took it and applied it to everything,
-i.e. if he wants to take your money, he will say if I don't have money I will die,
-because I don't have money I can't eat, if I don't eat I will die…
-therefore its ok for me to lie to get money from you… they lie more than they breathe…
-they have taken the example of Ammar ibn Yaasir, as a base
-which should only be used in extreme cases, but they apply it to everything
-those people from Kuufa have Magg'ii background and Tuqiyyah (deception)
-Which Ammar ibn Yaasir practiced
-and they have applied it to Hadeeth; if they want to make Shia prosperous, they don't mind lying.
E.g. Fada'il Ali
-if you count the number of Hadeeth that the Prophet was supposed to have said
-in Fada'il Ali (the good things of Ali), you'll find the Prophet didn't have time to breathe
-in order for the Prophet to say all these Hadeeth in actual life, it takes more than 65 years
-He only lived 63 years, some say 62, 64, most ulama say 63
-how can the Prophet day and night, with no sleep, food, prayer, hajj, jihad,
-everyday just be saying Ali, Ali, Ali… as if there is nothing in the world except Ali ibn Abi Talib
-the number of Hadeeth found in Fada'il Ali are so many that it become impossible and sometimes laughable
E.g. New Testament
-in the New Testament there is a book called Matthew, Mathew has quoted something from
-the Old Testament in the book of Isaiah, about the virgin woman (Batool)
-'the virgin woman bears pregnancy and gives birth'
-the word here Batool is debated by the ulama of Christianity
-was it Batoola or Alma in Hebrew, they're not sure about it
-the Shia have copied the word Batoola from the Old Testament word for word
-and applied it on Fatima (RA), so they made Fatima better than Mariam (Mother of Christ)
-why? They lie so much they have actually nicked/jacked this word from the Old Testament
-Nobody has ever called Fatima Batool
-they also claim that when Fatima gave birth to Hasan and Hussain, there was no blood! How come?
-they went further and further and claimed a woman gives birth from her side, lies upon lies
-this is the Hadeeth of people of Kuufa
-we are not saying everyone of Kuufa is bad, no, but most likely it's like that
-it is in the books that when Imam Bukhari was consulted
-and they said to him Hadeeth of Ahlul Kuufa, Imam Bukhari clapped his hands
-which means Hadeeth of Ahlul Kuufa are empty
-there are so many lies because of the Magg'ii background
-Imam Abu Dawood (d. 275 H) is Sijistani, says that the Khawarij, their Hadeeth is always accepted (truthful)
-that is natural because the Khawarij say a man who makes a Kabira (major sin) is a Kaafir
-so they are so afraid of lying because for them, lying is Kufr, so why would they lie?
-whereas on the contrary the Hadeeth of Shia is almost always not true
-we are not saying there is no Hadeeth from the Shia that is true
-but there are conditions the ulama have put in order to accept a Hadeeth from the Shia
-Sulaiman bin Mahran Al-A'mash (d. 147 H) is a narrator of Hadeeth
-the ulama take his Hadeeth, but this man is Shi'i, when we say Shi'i, he was not Rawafidi
-which means he preferred Ali ibn Abi Talib to Uthman, he did not say anything bad about Abu Bakr or Umar
-these kind of people we take their Hadeeth
-in general the Hadeeth of Khawarij is better than the Shia
-when you classify, you classify according to the group i.e. Khawarij, Shia, Qadri
We Started By Talking About:
1. Geographical specification
2. Historical specification
3. According to group
then we want to take a good example then follow it
e.g. Imam Bukhari
-if you go from Imam Bukhari in Hadeeth, then you go to the Imam, his Shaikh, Shaikh ul Bukhari
-when we say Shaikh ul Bukhari, we don't mean the man who taught Imam Bukhari
-ulama call it this way, what they mean is the person who has reported to Imam Bukhari
-where did Imam Bukhari get this information? A man, this man is called Shaikh ul Bukhari
-so we go to the more inner circle one step, and from this man we go one step higher into inner circle
-how many steps do we get?
-from Imam Bukhari (250 AH) to 10 AH, is about 240 years
-for a man to hear from the person above him, there is a generation
The Ulama Say 40 Years Is One Generation
-i.e. someone in his 20's hears from someone in his 60's
-then when younger person become 60 he gives the information to someone in 20's and so on
-so there is a 40 years block, every generation is 40 years
-therefore 240 years divided by 40 years equals 6 generation
-which means maximum of 6 men in the chain between the Prophet and Imam Bukhari
-the Prophet (SAW) died around 10 AH, Imam Bukhari wrote his book around 250 AH
-those 6 men if we say the 1st person is called A, in our case Imam Bukhari is A
|Imam Bukhari
A is Imam Bukhari himself who is authentic
F is the Prophet (SAW) and he is above classification
E is the Sahabi all Sahabah are trustworthy, so we don't need to look into
-Who do we need to look into? We need to look into 3 men (B-C-D)
We Need To Look into:
1. Are these men trustworthy or not trustworthy? If they are then,
2. Has 'B' met 'C'? Has 'C' met 'D'? Has 'D' met the Sahabi?
-If they have all met the sanad is continuous, and the men are trustworthy
-then we can say it's a Hadeeth Sahih (Authentic)
There Is One Problem Here
-when the Prophet (SAW) gives a Sahabi a Hadeeth, it may well be a special occasion
e.g. What Happened In The Ghaar (Cave)
-the events of the cave were only acceptable from one man, who? Abu Bakr (RA)
-no other man can give you this Hadeeth
e.g. Events of Private Life
-the events of what happened in the private life of the Prophet, which are Sunnah to us
-i.e. if you have relations with your wife, do you need to perform Ghusl? Who can tell you this Hadeeth?
-it has to be Aisha (RA) or the wives of the Prophet
-it has to come from one person not two
-then the person who learnt it from Aisha or Abu Bakr
-we expect the Sahabi to tell it to more than one person
-we also expect i.e. in the case of Aisha if she told her servant
-then we expect her servant to tell more than one person
-then the question is how many people in each generation knew of this Hadeeth?
-lets go back to the year 70 AH, how many people on earth knew of the Hadeeth
-'the Prophet put Ali, Fatima, Hasan, Hussain, under his garment?'
'Aisha reported that Allah's Apostle (SAW) went out one morning wearing a striped cloak of the black camel's hair that there came Hasan b. 'Ali. He wrapped him under it, then came Husain and he wrapped him under it along with the other one (Hasan). Then came Fatima and he took her under it, then came 'Ali and he also took him under it and then said: Allah only desires to take away any un-cleanliness from you, O people of the household, and purify you (thorough purifying). [Sahih Muslim, Book 31, Hadith #5955]
-if you tell me only one person knew this Hadeeth, then I have to stop here
-because if only one person knew this Hadeeth, it becomes hard to accept it
-this Hadeeth is called Hadeeth Ahl al-Kisa
-how many people on earth knew about this Hadeeth during the year 70 H?
-if its only one person, then they call it HADEETH GHAREEB (strange)
-in this particular instance Ghareeb is sanad and it means strange or odd or astray
-so how come only one person knows this Hadeeth, they find it difficult to believe
-I am not saying this Hadeeth is Daeef (weak), being Ghareeb is a form of being weak
-there are some people you wouldn't take Hadeeth from if they are singular
-the ulama have said, if he gives you a Hadeeth that nobody else has said, don't take it
-he must have heard it from some other source
let's take this rule and apply it to what we said in the beginning
-where would you expect all Hadeeth to start? Geographically it will always start in Medina
-where would it end? Most likely across Iraq & Iran
-because all the scholars have written their books in this area
-and naturally into Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan passing by most likely Iraq and Syria
-so how many people in Medina knew about the Hadeeth?
-which means how many Sahabi have known this Hadeeth? You have to ask yourself this question first
-if it is just one Sahabi then you would ask yourself,
-is it Hadeeth of Aqeeda or is it to do with a common thing?
-i.e. like fear Allah or obey your parents or obey your husband etc.
Hadeeth In Aqeeda
-if it has to do with Aqeeda then you have to go back to the ulama for it
-because there are Hadeeth in Aqeeda that were only mentioned by one Sahabi and ulama accept it
-but there has been a debate going
-is it possible that the Prophet would teach Aqeedah to only one man? And only one man knew about it?
-there has been a debate, if it is Saheeh, there is no problem
-but what I'm saying regards to Aqeedah the ulama are a little bit conservative
-so you have to go back and check what the ulama said about it
1. How many Sahabah (narrated it)
2. How many people heard from that particular Sahabi
e.g. The First Hadeeth in Bukhari
Narrated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 1, Hadith #001]
-this Hadeeth was narrated only from one man, Umar, and from Umar only one man
-and it goes on for 4 generations and only one person knows about it
-this is authentic and we know and are quite sure that the Prophet (SAW) has said it
-but this Hadeeth is not Aqeedah it's not like something to do with
-Uloo (Only Allah Deserves to be worshipped) or Sifaat (Allah's 99 Names & Attributes)
-or Jannah (heaven) and Nar (hell), it's not do with beliefs, if it is, then we go back to what the ulama said
-most likely we'll find the ulama have found other ways,
-other Sahabi have said the same thing, in another book, through another sanad (chain) most likely
-more than 99% of Hadeeth of Aqeedah have come through more than one Sahabi already
-but you might find Hadeeth like e.g.
it is narrated that the companion Mu`awiyah ibn al-Hakam, (RA) slapped his servant girl who used to tend his sheep, and as a result went to the Prophet (SAWS) and asked what should be done as an atonement for having slapped her. The Prophet replied, "Bring her to me" so Mu`awiyah brought her to the Prophet. The Prophet then asked her, "Where is Allah?" and she replied "Above the Sky" then the Prophet asked her, "Who am I?" and she replied, "You are Allah's Messenger", so the Prophet said, "Free her, for verily she is a true believer." (Saheeh Muslim, Hadith #1094)
-this Hadeeth has caused a few problems with Mu'tazila and Asha'ira
-but at the end of the day the ulama have said this Hadeeth is authentic
-and we have to believe in its contents as it is
so there are Hadeeth which when you study them:
i) Geographically How They Passed
ii) How Many People In Iraq Knew About them
-if only one man, you ask how come its Ghareeb?
-Imam Tirmidhi (RH) (d. 279 H) is called Abu Eesa, Imam Bukhari (RH) (d. 256 H) is called Abu Abdullah
-this is what Imam Tirmidhi was asked, and he said his opinion
-if you read Sunan At-Tirmidhi, you will find after every Hadeeth
-Qala Abu Eesa Huwa Hadeeth Hasan (Abu Eesa, Tirmidhi himself, says this Hadeeth is Hasan)
-if you go to another Hadeeth he will say Hasan Ghareeb, its Hasan but it's strange
-sometimes he's referring to the Gharaba (strange hood) in the Matn (block of the Hadeeth)
-the sanad is ok, but the wording in this particular instance, we have not heard it from another sanad
-so he calls it Ghareeb
Ghareeb can also mean
-strange in terms of geography
-strange in terms of sanad (i.e. only one person narrated it)
-strange in terms of Matn (wording)
some Hadeeth are an obvious lie
e.g. a man is claiming an obvious lie against the Prophet about a Hadeeth, it's in Sunan Ibn Majah
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, "It is a part of the sunnah that a man should accompany his guest to the door of the house." [Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Bayhaqi, in Shu'ab al-Iman, transmitted it on the authority both of Abu Hurayrah and of Ibn Abbas]
-the man claims the Prophet said "it is part of the Sunnah"
-Wallahi it's impossible, the ulama find that impossible
-how would the Prophet say "of the Sunnah"? To whom? Who's Sunnah?
-the Prophet is the corner stone of Sunnah, how can he say "it is a part of the Sunnah"?
-we take our Sunnah from the Prophet, but the Prophet takes Sunnah from whom? Nobody!
-Unless he says Sunan Al-Anbiya (the Prophets)
-otherwise why would he say Sunnah? What Sunnah? That's also strange
-besides it being an obvious lie, this Hadeeth was recounted by a person who is a well-known liar
we take our measurements:
1. According to History,
2. According to Geography,
3. According to Groups (Firqah),
4. According to Number of Narrators.
-e.g. if in a Hadeeth all the men are Shia, and the Hadeeth is saying the Prophet said "Ali is my Khalifah"
-what would you expect us to say? This is the core of their belief, that the Prophet said so
-do you expect those people to be saying the truth? They are actually reiterating their own belief
-what they built their religion on
-so we don't take this kind of Hadeeth, we stop at it
Today we covered some kind of ilal (disease)
Insha'Allah next time we shall talk about another ilal (diseases) you may find in Hadeeth

The Surface Rights Board is a quasi-judicial tribunal that grants right of entry and assists landowners/occupants and operators resolve disputes about compensation when operators require access to private land or occupied crown land to develop subsurface resources such as oil, gas, and coal or to build and operate pipelines and power transmission lines.
New Applications
Repeat Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
Important Recovery of Rentals Decisions
If an operator has not paid money payable under a surface lease, right of entry order or compensation order and the due date for the payment has passed, the person entitled to the money may bring an application under section 36 of the Surface Rights Act. Upon receiving evidence of the non-payment the Board will issue a notice to the operator, demanding full payment. If the notice is not complied with, the Board may suspend the operator's right to enter the site and following notice of its intention to do so terminate all of the operators rights under the right of entry order or lease relating to the site and may direct payment by the Minister.
**The Surface Rights Board is pleased to announce that it has recently streamlined its procedures for recurring applications for recovery of annual compensation under section 36 of the Surface Rights Act. These new procedures apply when the Minister has previously made payment under section 36 to the same applicant(s), for the same site, licenced to the same Operator, under the same surface lease or compensation order. Applicants may now establish their entitlement to compensation by completing the new application form and signing it in the presence of a witness; they will no longer have to complete a Statutory Declaration sworn by a Commissioner for Oaths.

The Bespoke Collection brings tradition and excellence to The Residences at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort
Born of a distinctive legacy and crafted for modern connoisseurs, St. Regis hotels have embodied a tradition of bespoke service and excellence for more than 100 years. Today, that same legendary standard of commitment is being brought to an exclusive collection of signature condominiums at The Residences at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort. The Bespoke Collection consists of eight oceanfront, custom-designed residences.
"Working with our future residents has provided an even greater appreciation for the unique design elements our demanding clientele seek in their homes," said John Manrique, vice president of sales and marketing for The Residences at The St. Regis Bal Harbour. "The Bespoke Collection addresses these needs with large, open-space floor plans optimized to capture magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, Miami skyline and surrounding South Florida splendor."
Expansive grand salons, formal dining, butler pantries, imported Italian cabinetry, exotic marbles and granites, spacious wardrobes, home office libraries, staff rooms, Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf cooktops and Miele kitchen appliances are among the features found in the eight spectacular upper floor North Tower residences. The residences also have access to all the St. Regis amenities and services available at this beachfront address located directly on Collins Avenue across from the celebrated Bal Harbour Shops.
"The Bespoke Collection's inimitable residences appeal to the most discriminating of homeowners across the country and around the world," said Manrique. "It is a South Florida lifestyle unlike any preceding it, and it is one that only a select few will be privileged to enjoy."
Presently, the eight residences comprising The Bespoke Collection are available in four floor plans ranging in size from 3,200 to just under 7,000 square feet. Residences are priced from $4.5 to more than $10 million.
Situated within an exclusive beachfront enclave, The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort is a distinguished residential destination that delivers uncompromising services, said Manrique.
Scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011, the two residential towers and the property's resort hotel will reach 27 stories above an expansive stretch of beach on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort contains 270 one- to five-bedroom ultra-luxury tower residences, including the eight residences that are part of The Bespoke Collection. Each tower will have its own private lobby entrance, security, valet and covered parking. The residences range in size from 1,777 to 6,868 square feet, and all feature 10-foot ceilings with spacious balconies offering sweeping ocean, bay, Intracoastal or city views.
Residents of the seaside landmark will have access to signature St. Regis Butler service, a 12,000-square-foot Remède Spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Additional amenities include fine restaurants, childcare and poolside cabana and beach services.
The hotel and property common areas were designed by the award-winning design firm Yabu Pushelberg. Elements will include serene gardens and sculptures with decorative fountains and pool features, as well as a premier selection of works by world-renowned artists.
In February, The Residences at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort sales center will open on-site across from Bal Harbour Shops. For more information, call 305-993-6000 or visit www.stregisbalharbour.com to explore ownership opportunities starting at $1.9 million.

The gallbladder can cause a lot of problems. Every year, about a quarter of a million people in the United States need treatment for painful gallstones – rock-like crystals as small as grains of sand or as big as golf balls. They form from cholesterol or bile, a substance needed for digestion.
Do you think you might need a hysterectomy? Feeling scared or confused? Don't worry. It's actually a very common procedure – and medical advancements have made the hysterectomy much easier on patients than it used to be.
With the cooler months approaching, it's natural to want to get out and enjoy the milder weather. But as you get more active, it's not uncommon to have some knee pain develop when you least expect it.
About one million people in the United States are treated for kidney stones each year, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Kidney Disease (NIDKD). That's a lot of people in pain! How do you know if you're going to be one of them? Here's some information to put your mind at ease.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, typically in the neck or low back, that can cause radiating pain, weakness, burning, or numbness and tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet. The symptoms can come on slowly and get worse as the spine degenerates, or come on rapidly after an injury.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits in front of the windpipe 1 to 2 inches below the Adam's apple. Some people may develop nodules on their thyroid called goiters. If the nodule is small and benign, your doctor may just keep an eye on it. But if it's larger, your doctor may want to run some tests, like a fine needle aspiration or surgical biopsy. You may need to have the thyroid or parathyroid (near the thyroid) tissue removed.

Following on from the success of The Stackings restaurant at Peppermint Bay in Woodbridge, we're making new memories from our new home in an old Ford showroom within Hobart's historic Mercury Newspaper Building.
Our chef Analiese Gregory has worked in world-class kitchens in the Aubrac, San Sebastián, Paris, London and Sydney (Bras, Mugaritz, Le Meurice, The Ledbury, Quay, respectively) and with every day, she channels these experiences into our ever-changing produce-driven menu.
Our 10-tonne wood-fired Scotch oven is the linchpin of our open kitchen. It's where whole just-caught flathead or Littlewood Farm's finest lamb might be roasted slowly and plated up right before your eyes.
Our menus change depending on what's at its best. Gregory likes to stop on her 40-minute drive to the restaurant each day to forage the likes of wild rocket flowers or fennel (perhaps later folded through linguine with Bruny Island sea urchin) and to meet one-on-one with the bounty of independent Tasmanian producers who we champion daily.
A made-from-scratch mentality (and curiosity) informs everything we do – whole beasts are broken down onsite, we bake our own bread, cure our own meats and craft our own cheese. If you're lucky, your dinner might end on a taste of our camembert or brie, aged in Franklin's own wine cellar.

Bradley Center to auction off memorabilia starting this summer
Posted: Mar 13, 2018 9:49 PM CDT
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- As the BMO Harris Bradley Center gets closer to shutting its doors, you have the chance to take home a piece of the history.
"You don't just get to a point and say what do we do now, so we've been working on this for the better part of a year."

Warranties are perpetually a blessing and a pain when it comes to any major appliance, and cars these days are no different. Thankfully, with these new hybrid cars running around, the warranties on hybrids are typically better than gas-powered vehicles, and one reason is that you are paying so much more for them upfront, as well as the fact that manufacturers have enough faith in the actual value of hybrid cars, especially in the long run. To be blunt, the manufacturers don't honestly think that the car is going to need repairs during the warranty period, because the parts are meant to last. That doesn't always happen, though, and it's important to look at what exactly you're in for.
1. What's Actually Covered - Okay, so, let's figure out what's actually covered in your warranty. For most standard warranties on hybrids, the actual battery pack, as well as the hybrid's parts are under warranty for 100,000 miles or 8 years, and if you're lucky, as far as 150,000 miles or 10 years. That depends on the state where you buy the car and live in, but either way, this at least covers when parts go bad for no apparent reason, or something happens to fail in a bizarre way. Even manufacturer defects are covered. Many other hybrids also have an additional warranty which is standard, giving you much of the same warranty coverage like a conventional vehicle, which is about 3 years.
If you're lucky, you might have the power train warranty, which takes care of items like the engine, seat belts, airbags, and even the front-wheel and rear-wheel drives, and tends to last around 5 years. The major thing to look out for is that most warranties assume you'll at least travel 12,000 miles, and that is per year. If you don't actually take advantage of that, you'll lose money and will be wasting the money you spent on your warranty.
2. The Really Fine Print - Okay, so, here's the tricky and sucky part. Not everything is covered on your warranty, and so you need to be sure you actually take good car of a hybrid vehicle. Otherwise, when you suddenly forget to find a mechanic in the area, then that snowballed into forgetting to chance the oil for an entire year, well, you're probably out of luck.
3. Should I Keep Going - The last question is to figure out if you even really think it'll be worth picking up a hybrid and then getting the warranty in the first place. Thankfully, when you buy a hybrid, the extended warranty is a blessing, especially if that battery pack you're expecting to last forever happens to fail right at the 100,001 mark. The hard part is that the extended warranty may cover your battery problem, but look out at how expensive it could be up front. The dealer, the type of warranty, and even information about yourself may be incredibly important in trying to figure out which warranty to get.
Thankfully, many of the extended warranties are actually worth the money. Just make sure not to go with dealer-specific warranties, non-transferable warranties, non-refundable warranties and any program that says you need to pay them right upfront. Also, be sure that if you buy a warranty, it'll allow you to go to a licensed mechanic in your area, as the last thing you want is to find out that you don't have anywhere to repair it from.
A word to the wise, though: While a warranty is a great safety net, there is a lot of fine print on what doesn't get covered by the warranty so make sure to read it all.

While the "shortname" of the document is wsc-usecases, it is the shortname of the whole document (not just section 6). And that's what everyone is reviewing; the whole document. So thanks for your first comment! Mez Mary Ellen Zurko, STSM, IBM Lotus CTO Office (t/l 333-6389) Lotus/WPLC Security Strategy and Patent Innovation Architect "Robert Yonaitis" <email@example.com> Sent by: firstname.lastname@example.com 04/03/2007 02:43 PM To <firstname.lastname@example.com> cc Subject Question re: Comments USE-Cases Hello All: It appears that my posts are going through to the list now and to celebrate this fact I will ask a question. I have been reviewing the document http://www.w3.org/TR/wsc-usecases/ Section six (6) says USE cases and there have been comments regarding other sections. So for my question: Should one be commenting on the full : "Web Security Experience, Indicators and Trust: Scope and Use Cases" document? If so here is my first comment, I am not sure if this is a editing question or a goals question. 2.2 Relevance of security information The Working Group will analyze common use cases to determine what security information a user requires to proceed safely and recommend security information that should, or should not, be presented in each case. When we say "What security information a user requires to proceed" isn't this a bit to strong, could this not create the presumption of liability for people working on this document. Wouldn't it be better to say something more vague: "what security information a user at least in part requires to proceed safely" ** Note I am not a lawyer, but the word requires (the way it was used) seems to strong to me.

Family Leaders are Participants
Participants represent the diversity of Colorado as FLTI draws people across race, age, and culture. They are parents, youth, aunts, uncles, foster and adoptive families, active community leaders, and others who want to improve systems for children. FLTI sites purposely recruit diverse classes so that participants experience a community made up of varied experiences and beliefs, and can practice coming together despite these differences, to create change. Classes are typically comprised of 20-25 people.
Family Leaders are Beneficiaries
There is no single or special interest agenda underlying FLTI. The goal is to dignify the role of family and community leaders as change agents within community and government by building leadership capacity. During the training, participants use civic tools to address health and social issues that are of concern to them. Leaders learn about the tenets of democracy and their right to utilize government resources optimally in the best interest of children and families. Additionally, government, public policy, media, network building, evaluation, and the change process are demystified and explored.
Family Leaders Create Positive Change for Community
At the core of FLTI is the idea that FLTI is: Family Led, Family Driven, and Family Inspired. Change happens on behalf of children and families when families learn how to cultivate and sustain community partnerships. FLTI encourages civic partnerships that utilize the strengths of diverse community resources. FLTI promotes public support for partnerships with families, businesses, faith leaders, elected officials, community organizers, state and local government, and philanthropists.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The Justice Department said Thursday it would require a divestiture as a condition of approving the proposed $9 billion merger between NYSE Euronext nyx and Germany's Deutsche Boerse DB1, +0.85%. Specifically, a Deutsche Boerse subsidiary would have to sell its 31.5% interest in Direct Edge Holdings LLC within two years, and the parties to the merger would have to agree to other restrictions. Accordingly, the Justice Department filed both a civil antitrust lawsuit in federal court to enjoin the acquisition as well as a proposed settlement intended to address its competition concerns. Acting antitrust chief Sharis Pozen called Jersey City, N.J.-based Direct Edge "an agressive and innovative exchange competitor."

art:1Art:1, formerly known as Mon Decor Gallery (est. 1983) is the pioneer in art galleries in Jakarta. At the time it catered to the needs for decorative paintings, prints, repros, and other artistic objects for interior decoration, in addition to being a frame shop. After three years since its conception, Mon Decor Gallery transformed into a professional fine art gallery gallery business. During its 30 years of experience, Mon Decor Gallery had created several gallery branches all over Jakarta such as Plaza Senayan, Wisma Mulia and Grand Indonesia Shopping Town. Currently with over 2.500 artworks, Mon Decor Gallery's reputable collections include Old Masters, Indo-Euro, Modern Art and Contemporary artworks. Notable artists that had been exhibited include Widayat, Renato Christiano, Anusapati, M. Irfan and much more.
As an executive member of The Association of Galleries, Mon Decor Gallery together with 12 other art galleries founded Jakarta Art District in Grand Indonesia. In 2010 it won "Favourite Gallery of The Year" Award. In 2011, Mon Decor Gallery reinvented its initial fine art gallery concept and expanded into a private museum, art space and art institute to support the growth of art infrastructure in Indonesia. This shift was accompanied by a relocation into a larger, more equipped exhibition space in Kemayoran called Art:1. The new complex was built to facilitate art in Indonesia with the concept of 'one-stop art destination.' Art:1 comprehensively provides museum exhibitions by senior artists, supports emerging artists through its art space, and provides other services relating to art consulting, art restoration and art education programs. It is Indonesia's first private art museum opened to public that truly operates to international standards.
Opening Hours
Tuesday - Saturday:
10:00 - 18:00
10:00 -16:00
Closed on Monday & Public Holiday
- Category : Art
: Designed by Sardjono Sani (Kemang Icon), Art:1 was finally completed in 2011. The modern minimalist architecture building reveals a total space of 4,000sqm which is home to Art:1 New Museum and Art Space:1. The monochromatic white grey building stands almost invisible with a red gate entrance made of steel. Inside, only a streak of black and red has been added. These are the only colors that continue through the heart of Art:1. White wash walls permeates throughout in order to accommodate and support the artworks on display. On the lobby foyer stands a commissioned artwork by artist Sunaryo titled "Titik Jeda" (Crossing Point). The artwork describes the philosophy of Art:1 and its vision for building a strong infrastructure for art in Indonesia. The result is a beautiful form where art, people and structure are integrated as one. The work has also inspired the Art:1 logo and our slogan, 'Art For Everyone'.
Art:1 New Museum features a more conventional, rectangular design which is straight forward and easy to navigate. The three floors of exhibition spaces are supported by a skylight that runs all through the levels providing a connection throughout the space while utilizing plenty of natural light for ergonomic viewing. Art Space:1 provides a more contemporary feel with exposed beams, video rooms and hidden corners, encouraging viewers to explore, interact and be curious not only through its collections but also through the individually designed three levels of art space. The first floor opens to a wide area for information point and a bar service.

Austin, TX producer and multi-instrumentalist Lucas Oswald got his start on the international stage as a member of Shearwater, The Appleseed Cast, and Jesca Hoop. With the release of his new solo album Whet, Oswald explores textural, moody pop music with a lyrical inclination for the melancholic.
"The [Missouri] native displays an endearing charm and his deadpan observations about his homeland only warms me to him more. Singing songs from his new album Whet, his voice is soft and conveys an emotion that belies his boyish appearance. 'Starving' is about mental struggles and the lyrics are softened by his disarming vocals. 'Feel It Again' was my favourite in his set, hitting me right in the heart, Oswald's emotive delivery building to a positive crescendo before sucker punching you in the gut again. His short set just left me wanting to hear more from him, a definite one to watch for fans of Pete Yorn, Ryan Adams and City and Colour."

Fuzzrocious Pedals Releases the Blast Furnace Fuzz
After an unveiling at NAMM, Blast Furnace is now for sale exclusively through Chicago Music Exchange and worldwide through all dealers on June 18, 2017.
Blast Furnace is an original gated fuzz touting a big, open sound free of tone tampering. There is a toggle that switches over to a heavy, semi-mid scooped sound that excels with chords and chugs. There is an internal trimpot that allows you to change the stock tone setting, if you're feeling tweaky.
Just having an original fuzz wasn't enough. We expanded the sound possibilities by adding a short-timed delay (via the left momentary footswitch). When activated, and depending on where the repeats pot is set, the user can add anything from one repeat to swirling, destructive oscillation. By removing one's foot from the left footswitch, the delay goes away. You can accentuate your sound by adding some girth to the fuzz. There is also a trimpot to adjust the delay time if you don't like where we set it. It's cool, you can totally change it.
There's more...the delay can be used without the fuzz! Pair the delay with your clean tone or other pedals to expand their sound too.
Blast Furnace boasts the following:
Gated fuzz with bypassable tone control
Utiity delay that can be used with or without the fuzz
Handmade and handpainted by Fuzzrocious in-house
Fuzzrocious Pedals works hand-in-hand with notable acts like Queens of the Stone Age, Fall Out Boy, Jenny Lewis, Zac Brown Band, Minus The Bear, Russian Circles, Brand New, and Neurosis.
Price: $180 USD

Last week I was teaching an Intensive Lifestyle class and one of my participants asked me a great question.
She asked:
"I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to prevent anxiety and depression. I exercise five times a week and try to eat right. What other natural things can I do to prevent depression and anxiety?"
This is a question I get a lot. And in the spirit of our happiness series, I am here to answer.
Just to recap from last week, the biggest detractors from happiness are depression and anxiety. So I am going to share 3 alternative therapies that are proven to prevent depression and anxiety.
You may be concerned with the cost and effectiveness of alternative therapies. I completely sympathize your concern.
That is why I am only offering alternative therapies that are proven (and I share the links to the medical articles that show the support) and affordable. In fact, two of the three therapies I share can be obtained for FREE.
1. Music Therapy
Music therapy has solid evidence to help anxiety and depression
Music therapy is the use of music to influence physical, emotional, cognitive, and social wellbeing and quality of life. It can include listening to music or performing music.
Music therapy is shown to improve symptoms of anxiety and stress. Furthermore, music can enhance mood and induce relaxation.
The best type of music for depression and anxiety is still being determined.
Research suggests that music familiar to your culture is the most helpful for anxiety.
Classical music has been found to be relaxing and comforting. Rock music, on the other hand, may result in stress.
Interestingly, both calming and stimulating music may improve pain tolerance.
Music therapy is theorized to work by reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of stress hormones. See this and this article for more information.
Music therapy is considered to be safe.
Multiple clinical studies have used music therapy without side effects.
2. Light therapy
Light therapy is shown to help with depression.
Light therapy (or phototherapy) is the use of various wavelengths of light to produce a therapeutic effect. It can use lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, and bright, full-spectrum light.
You may have heard of using light boxes to help with seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a depressive condition related to changes in the seasons. There is quite a bit of evidence to support light therapy for SAD. In fact, light therapy may be as effective as using traditional antidepressants.
You may not know light therapy is also useful for non-seasonal depression.
Bright light therapy has been shown to decrease depressive symptoms in individuals with non-seasonal depression.
To help with non-seasonal depression, white light (versus yellow or red) appears to have the most evidence.
Studies show that durations as short as 2 to 4 hours per day improves symptoms.
3. Yoga
Yoga decreases depressive symptoms in children and adults.
Yoga is a mental, physical, and spiritual practice that originated in India thousands of years ago.
Yoga's popularity has increased significantly in Western cultures over the last several decades.
Research shows yoga improves depressive symptoms in individuals that are using antidepressant medicine and those that are NOT using antidepressant medicines.
Yoga works by improving blood pressure, blood sugar, stress, and anxiety levels.
These are all modalities that appear to improve depression and anxiety.
Yoga appears to be safe in most individuals.
Aggressive forms of yoga or yoga in highly heated environments may not be safe, especially for beginners, older adults, and those that are pregnant. It is best to practice yoga under the supervision of a certified instructor.
Several different types of yoga decrease depression and anxiety.
Studies show:
- Sudarshan Kriya Yoga,
- hatha yoga, and
- sahaj yoga
decrease depressive symptoms and anxiety.
Boosting Happiness with Alternative Therapies
Happiness is important to us all and we know the main detractors from happiness in the Unites States are depression and anxiety.
The good news is there are alternative therapies proven to PREVENT depression and anxiety. Music therapy, light therapy, and yoga are affordable options that help.
Your Turn
What happiness hack will you try this week? I encourage you to pick one (or all three) to help keep depression and anxiety at bay.
