"Then plough deep while sluggards sleep, and you shall have corn to sell and to keep."
Last night it rained. I only know because everything is still wet. Today is cloudy, damp and humid. The sky feels close. Nothing is moving. Rain is predicted.
Yesterday I got everything I need for deck cleanup. The man at the hardware store was like my private shopper. He took me to each aisle and made suggestions as to what was best for the job at hand. The deck chairs won't get cleaned today. I want a nicer day.
The new members of my family will be here on Thursday night. I'm going to my aunt's wake and will collect my new kitties after it. Yesterday I bought food, litter and treats. I've warned Henry, but he doesn't seem to care. He's upstairs having his morning nap.
When I was a kid, Duke, our boxer, was not allowed on the furniture, but he sometimes slept on the couch at night, and my father never caught him. Duke was a smart dog and knew to jump off the couch when he heard footsteps on the stairs. Henry sleeps on the couch here in the den and on my bed at night. He is not allowed on the living room couch, and he knows it. That's his only restriction.
When I was young, and we had a barbecue, the meat was always hot dogs and burgers, a cheeseburger if we so desired. There were chips and corn on the cob. When I was older and I visited in the summer, Saturday was barbecue night. We had a variety of meat sometimes including steak tips, Chinese sausages, chicken or pork tenderloin. If homegrown tomatoes were in season, we had a plate of cut tomatoes with a blob of mayonnaise on the side. My mother made potato salad. We still had chips and sometimes corn on the cob. I remember being amazed at my father eating his corn. He was like a typewriter, side to side row by row. He was fast. He stripped the ear even to the kernels close to the end. I love corn on the cob with butter and pepper. I eat row by row but not as quickly as my father did. I can't leave behind a stray kernel. I guess that makes me sort of a vegetable neat freak.Explore posts in the same categories: Musings

If $X,\tau$ is a topological space and K is a closed subspace. If $U$ is a compact set of $X,\tau$ then $U\cap K$ is compact.
Attempted proof:
Since $U$ is compact there is a finite sub covering such that $U\subset \bigcup_\limits{i=1}^{n}B_i$ $B_i\in \tau\forall 1\leqslant i\leqslant n$
$U\cap K\subset (\bigcup_\limits{i=1}^{n}B_i)\cap K=\bigcup_\limits{i=1}^{n}(B_i\cap K)$
$B_i\cap K$ is open for the subspace topology for all $i$.
Hence $\bigcup_\limits{i=1}^{n}(B_i\cap K)$ is a finite sub covering of $U\cap K$ proving $U\cap K$ to be compact in the subspace topology.
Is my proof right? If not how should I correct it?
Thanks in advance!

Hear What ARPS Sounds Like 🎧
What Is An ARP Anyway? 🎹
If you play a group of 2 or more notes at the same time you get a chord. If you take that same group of notes and play them separately, one after the other instead you get an arpeggio.
Most DAWs include some kind of device that lets you automatically arpeggiate your MIDI notes, so you play in a chord in and it feeds out an arpeggio. A synth that uses an 'arpeggiator' as part of its sound is often simply called an 'arp'.

Today the Green Sports Alliance (Alliance) launched "Playing for the Next Generation", part of a campaign designed to encourage its members and partners to commit to the United Nation's (UN) Sports for Climate Action Framework.
CBS News highlights the Oakland A's pitch for a new ballpark with an answer to the city's housing crisis.
LOS ANGELES -- MLS intends to expand to 30 teams, with teams 28 and 29 requiring an expansion fee of $200 million, commissioner Don Garber announced Thursday following a Board of Governors meeting.
Garber said the board had authorized his office to advance into exclusive discussions with St. Louis and Sacramento with an eye toward those two cities being the 28th and 29th teams.
On April 17, CalOZ attended the White House Opportunity Zone Conference & Breakout Sessions with State, Local, Tribal, & Community Leaders. The event coincided with the release of the second round of IRS regulatory guidance regarding OZ fund investments. CalOZ President Kunal Merchant pressed Treasury Security Stephen Mnuchin for details regarding OZ fund metrics and reporting - a critical component to ensuring investments fulfill their intended community purposes.
Kunal Merchant occupies a fascinating perch in the Green-Sports world. A member of the Green Sports Alliance board, the Bay Area-based Merchant has a background in business, politics, and social enterprise. And as co-founder of Lotus Advisory with his sister Monisha, Merchant has guided the sustainability efforts on state-of-the-art green stadium and arena projects, from Sacramento's Golden1 Center — the first LEED Platinum indoor arena in the world — to the nascent Oakland A's ballpark project.
The prospect of opportunity zones has generated excitement over the last year, but some developers, funds and communities aren't sure how to leverage the new tax incentive program. That's why Kunal Merchant, a former Sacramento Kings executive and aide to former Mayor Kevin Johnson, says he's launching CalOZ, a new group dedicated to navigating the complicated framework around opportunity zones.

I started dancing late in life. I had always been a performer, but was more of a singer and actor. In fact, I was attending Louisiana State University (LSU) for Theater when dance first came into my life. When I was 19, I was asked to audition for A Chorus Line with a local community theater. I had never danced a day in my life, but I said, "ok!" The audition process was grueling and like nothing I had ever done before. The cast list was announced and I discovered I had been cast as Larry, the choreographer. Not only was this a primarily dancing role, the character often times needed to be perceived as the strongest dancer on stage.
Rehearsals were physically and emotionally taxing. Half the time I didn't know what I was doing and kept getting frustrated with the unfamiliar terminology.
I met with the choreographer and we set up a schedule before and after rehearsals to go over the technical things. During one of our rehearsals he said to me, "You know, if you wanted to, you could do this for a living." That compliment made me feel all my hard work had been worth it, and sparked an interest that would eventually grow into a love of dance.
In the end, my performance in the show was not the best I would ever have, but what I had accomplished was so satisfying, I knew that with hard work I would only continue to improve. It never occurred to me, prior to this experience, that dance would be something to pursue after this experience, but that's what I did.
LSU didn't offer a dance major, but they did offer a dance minor. I enrolled in dance classes the semester following A Chorus Line. While taking classes at LSU I discovered my love for modern. There was something about the style and the movement that just clicked with me. I found myself able pick up on the movement very easily, but knew I still needed a more solid foundation to help with my technique. I reached out to a local studio and received a scholarship. I was now dancing during the day at school and, at nights and weekends at the studio.
After graduation I got a job as a principle dancer with Theatre West Virginia. It was in West Virginia that I met Ilana who, unbeknownst to me at the time, would help shape who I was as a person, as well as a dancer. Ilana and I got along from the start, and when she jokingly asked if I wanted to move to Richmond with her, I said yes. I didn't have any other plans after the summer, so I figured why not. It would be an exciting new journey that turned out to be one of the best choices I have ever made.
What helped me to fall in love with Richmond was the abundance of arts and culture everywhere. I continued my training by taking adult classes. A short time after I moved here, I joined rva dance collective, under Artistic Directors, Jess Burgess and Danica Kalemdaroglu. It was a whole new world for me. The majority of my experience performing up until this point had been in musicals. This was the first time that I would be performing with a dance company. Performing with a professional dance company was very different than performing in a musical. I was used to short rehearsals and long runs of shows; now I was going through long rehearsal periods and short runs of shows. However, there was something more rewarding about the work that I was doing.
After a few years I moved from rva dance collective and started dancing with Dogwood Dance Project. Throughout my time there, I had the opportunity to develop myself into a more artistic role, and choreograph more for the company. Along the same timeline as my move to Dogwood, I began teaching dance at a local dance studio. I brought my love and experience of dance into a classroom full of young dancers. When I teach, I want nothing more than to inspire the creativity of young dancers, and foster a love of dance for a younger generation. One of my favorite and most impactful things I feel Dogwood does is with our Youth Ensemble. Every year we hold auditions for High School aged dancers to gain experience being a part of a professional level company. Many of us in Dogwood are teachers, and I love that we can teach these young dancers, by offering them experiences that they might not be able to get in a studio or at school.
I've lived in Richmond now for 9 years, and through that time I've been able to really build a life here. I owe so much of that to Ilana who brought me along with her on this journey and has always been a foundation for me. It was through Ilana that I connected with both rva dance collective and Dogwood Dance Project. It was through her that I found a place teaching at the local dance studio, and I followed her on her journey to open a studio with fellow dancers (and friends) Sarah Wicker and Tracy Clevenger. I've been so fortunate to be able to do what I love with one my best friends.
Starting late in life has caused me a lot of anxiety in my dancing. This anxiety has caused me to define for myself what it means to be a dancer and who I dance for. My realization is that I dance for me. I dance because I enjoy it. It makes me happy and allows me to express myself in a way that nothing else allows. Yes, I do hope that when people watch me dance it brings them enjoyment as well, but for me the point is more about internal fulfillment. Through dance I have a way to express myself that I never really had before I found dance. I've found a way to tap into my soul, through my body.
Looking back, the two biggest events in my life that have shaped who I am as a dancer have both involved saying yes to new experiences. I discovered my love of dance by becoming a part of a show outside of my comfort zone. And I grew as a dancer by taking a chance and moving to Richmond. Both times were scary and at times I didn't know if I would be able to do it. I think in the end, that is what has made my dance journey all the more rewarding and important for me.
About seven years ago my husband and I bought a house in Battery Park. We loved the house and the neighborhood and have built a life together here. The park brings together people from all over the city, not just those who live in the neighborhood. I chose Battery Park because it is home and reminds me of the life I have built in Richmond.

Yassine Echcherki
I'm originally from Sefrou, Morocco, which is located in the foothills of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Southeast of Fez. In 2010 I started my company Morocco Off the Beaten Track with the vision of bringing local Moroccans together with the rest of the world to encourage understanding and give the gift of worldly experience to all involved. My goal is to always provide a uniquely Moroccan experience, where my travelers can see, feel and taste what makes the Kingdom of Morocco special.
I have worked for the U.S. Peace Corps as an Arabic language instructor and culture trainer, as well as worked with different travel companies in Morocco facilitating and organizing cultural tours and programs. I have also conducted cross-cultural educational programs for several American organizations and taught French and Arabic at a primary school in Citta Del Castelo, Italy. In addition to speaking my native Arabic language, I'm also fluent in French and English.
At Central Washington University in Washington State, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and Marketing and I'm currently pursuing my Master's Degree in Data Analytics at the same university. I also volunteer and teach English to Syrian refugees in the greater Seattle area while providing them with localization and life coach services. I strongly believe that cross-cultural education and international learning opportunities are the keys to promoting peace and building a long-lasting friendship.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"Morocco Off the Beaten Track operates mostly in semi-urban to rural areas. We generally want to give our travelers the opportunity to experience the real Morocco far from the touristy places, however can plan trips to the larger and Imperial Cities (Marrakesh, Rabat, Fez, Casablanca, etc.) if our travelers so desire. In our tours, we visit villages, meet artisans and farmers, and share food with local people. Our activities include community service, historical and cultural tours, hikes and treks, cooking classes, surfing instruction, 4x4 and camel desert trips, skiing and snowboarding, rafting, and rock climbing."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I started Morocco Off the Beaten Track to provide opportunities for travelers to learn about Morocco and to support local Moroccan communities by providing jobs and giving them the experience of interacting with people from other countries. The catalyst for this was my experience with the US Department of State Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). I was selected to participate in the MEPI Student Leaders Program at Montana State University because of the quality of my leadership experience and community involvement. This prestigious program brings young leaders from North Africa and the Middle East to learn leadership skills and to study democracy, human rights, and conflict resolution. In my time in the USA, I realized how little Americans knew about Morocco and how many misconceptions there were of the Arab world. I decided to found a travel company that could bridge the gap in understanding of Morocco and the US. I had experience working with travel companies in Morocco, and had traveled throughout the country myself, so I knew what it would take to start this company and how to create and facilitate outstanding programs for my travelers."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I will never forget the time I went with my friend to the desert dunes of Merzouga in Morocco. Prior to traveling there, I had not known that Morocco had deserts like this. It was endless rolling dunes of reddish sand, and it took us two hours by camel to reach the oasis we were staying at. At the oasis, I learned different ways to bake bread by the local Berber nomads and got to try their unique foods. Their hospitality was outstanding and was one of the more special things about the trip. In the evening we went to the largest dune in the area and got to see the silver shine of the desert in the moonlight. It was a breathtaking view and something I will never forget."

Trip to morocco, Morocco - Jun 8 - Jun 14, 2019
This was my first time using KimKim and I will definitely use them for travel again. Every part of the experience was amazing - planning, accommodations/experiences, and our driver. The planning process was pleasant and efficient all thanks to Yassine. He was extremely responsive and patient. He worked with me to plan an amazing 5 year anniversary trip that my wife and I loved. I had a rough idea of all the things I wanted to do and he used his expertise of Morocco to help tailor a trip that... read more

Loved the desert area ouzazate and the drives from place to place - remarkable scenery and land scape. Everywhere we went was lovely, medinas, especially in Fes so interesting. Guide great, cooking class, great.. Chefchouen, fascinating. Ifrane, hotel beautiful, otherwise a bit disappointing but certainly different to the rest of what we saw.

Traditional morocco, Morocco - Apr 26 - May 8, 2019
Our dream of travelling to Morocco was made possible with the expert assistance of Yassine from Morocco Off the Beaten Track. From the very first email we sent to him, we felt confident that he would put together an itinerary that was exactly what we were wanting- a trip that included culture, arts, food & music.
Our 13 day tour included, Essaouira, Marrakesh, Fes, Chefchaouen & concluded in Tangier.
Our driver Ismail was excellent. We cannot speak highly enough of him. He was a prompt,... read more

Particularly good was Hakim, our guide in Fez. Knowledgeable, with a great sense of humor. He was helpful in finding quality places to shop, but allowed us to be in charge of what we were interested in looking for. Our driver, Nabil, was always cheerful and helpful.

Our entire experience with KimKim was effortless. From the initial and follow-up planning with Yassine to the final follow-up was a great experience. We were met at the Marrakesh airport by a young man named Ismael. We could not have asked for a better person to be our driver and to spend the trip with. He was engaging, courteous, helpful and a very cautious and competent driver. Interacting with him was one of the highlights of our trip. We checked into the Riad Melhoun which was... read more

Our trip was great and well planned by Yassine. Our driver Nabil was wonderful and very responsive. He gave us a little phone that allowed us to easily contact him when we needed. We couldn't have asked for better help in a land that we were unfamiliar with.

We had a fantastic time in Morocco. We visited seven cities in a span of 12 days, accompanied by our Morocco Off the Beaten Track driver, Mohammed. We began our tour in Chefchaouen, then Fes, Merzouga, Ouarzazate, Marrakech, Essaouira, and ended in Casablanca. Each city was uniquely different from the last and we were greatly pleased with the beautiful accommodations secured for us by the MOTB team. We met some wonderful locals while we were there, and felt so welcomed in a place so far away from home.
I am so happy to have welcomed you both to Morocco for your special occasion!

We were a party of 6 from Australia. The booking experience with Kim Kim and Off the Beaten Track was 1st class. A great team effort congratulations to Yassine and his team.
When we arrived in Tangier the pickup details had not been detailed and I was surprised to find a driver whom I had not been given his name. Nabil - a lovely man. Nothing was too much trouble for him even though his command of English was patchy at times.

Romans 12:2 (NASB) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Last week I was in Nashville with our Every Nation Assessment centre to help assess the suitability of some couples to plant new churches. One of the gentlemen on our team is currently busy with a Doctorate programme and he said something that stuck with me. He quoted one of his lecturers, saying "those who don't write, don't think".
This statement has echoed in my mind for the last few days. Ignorance is not something I would want to be known for. I love to think about things. I want to seek truth in everything I do. But more than that, I desire my life to be transformed for the better.
This verse in Romans states clearly that we should not be INFORMED in our minds but TRANSFORMED. There is a pretty big difference. Most of us who just read but not write, ends up being informed and not transformed. It is only through teaching others that you really challenge yourself to make statements of truth and conviction. Being somewhere in the middle with a lot of knowledge will make no difference to you or anyone else.
Recently I have had to deal with a pretty challenging pastoral situation with someone who confesses to be a Christian but whose life is not at all bearing the fruit. The person shows no remorse or repentance for any hurt caused to people, or for the sinful behaviour which caused everything, for that matter. Yet, in our conversations, I could recognise an amazing insight into the Bible, but there was no conviction of truth.
This means there is information through knowledge but no transformation through a relationship with Jesus.
I tend to find this in many who confess to be Christian. They have knowledge about forgiveness, yet carry deep offences against their parents and others.
We need to be transformed by Christ, not informed by books.
When you read and gain new knowledge but your behaviour stays the same, you will only have gained information but no transformation. New knowledge that results in new behaviour is equal to the transformation this verse refers to. This seldom happens unless you actually start teaching and discipling others. Therefore, "those who don't write don't think".
This is why I believe it is important to make disciples. When I have to duplicate myself into someone else, I need to pass on who I am, not just what I know. We need to be able to reflect Christ in everything we do and be able to pass on His nature, not our own brokenness.
I believe that love is the greatest commandment, exactly for this very reason. We cannot influence anyone with the Gospel if we are not transformed by Love ourselves. This starts by forgiving (unconditionally) those who have done us wrong.
Make a commitment today that you will not just be informed, but transformed.

Imagine that a page uses a certain webBlock that has a screen action that performs something.
How many times did you have the need of calling that action not within the context of the webBlock but in the context of the page?
I know that there is a workaround for this.. to hide a button in the webBlock, add a cssClass 'someClass' to it, assign that action and then:
javascript :: document.getElementsByClassName('someClass')[0].click()
Anyway, the platform could let us do this in a more elegant way like adding a property 'IsPublic' to the screen actions and let the parents use the public screen actions of its children webblocks.
Changed the category to Frontend
I couldn't agree more, this should be high priority
I think this would be SUPER useful.
Think of the many times, you need to do something in a web block when the parent Saves, without loosing the information that the web block has been compiling.
I.e. uploading documents to a page that hasn't been saved yet, and when you save, then the documents are all assigned to the page.
Hi Tiago,
Indeed being able to call actions in children blocks can sometimes be handy. I'll add this to our radar so we can tackle it in a future release.
Thanks,Tiago Simões
Great news..
This would be even more useful if this webblocks actions run in the same transaction.. i.e., only one call to the server, only one db transaction..

Jan Jacob leaves the cured meat to mature for up to seven months to result in award- winning charcuterie.
When the sun sets before four o'clock, it's important to make the most of every hour of daylight, which means an early start for Anja and Jan Jacob Baak. Buttoning up their coats and pulling on hats, the pair venture out for a wintry morning walk along the banks of the River Roy; their youngest four children, Anne-Marije, Jochem, Walter and Lennard, in tow. "One of the things I love most about living in the Highlands is the space," Anja says, motioning to the sprawling moorlands that stretch out far into the distance. It's this remote landscape – with its ancient forests and snow-capped munros – that inspired the couple to set up their artisan food business Great Glen Charcuterie back in 2003. Made with meat from the wild red deer that roam the hills and valleys between Glenfinnan and the Cairngorms National Park, their range of products combines provenance and sustainability with a delectable, carefully balanced flavour. It's a blend that has won praise from critics and customers alike, helping to establish venison charcuterie as a contemporary Scottish staple.
Upping sticks and moving nearly 1,000 miles overseas would fill most people with trepidation, but the couple, originally from the Netherlands, had always longed to live abroad. So when, by chance, a local businessman mentioned that he'd recently bought a Scottish estate and needed someone to manage it, it felt like the opportunity they'd been looking for. Leaving their jobs as a primary school teacher and interim farmer respectively, Anja and Jan Jacob, along with their then-three children, who were all aged under five, swapped their home in Holland for a rambling residence in the village of Spean Bridge near Fort William. "It may sound like a huge step, but we wanted the openness for our growing family," Anja says. Drawn to the rugged beauty of Lochaber, a historic area of the Scottish Highlands that encompasses Spean Bridge, it didn't take long for them to embrace their new surroundings. "In Holland, there were so many restrictions. You couldn't even have a bonfire without the fire brigade being called out," Jan Jacob says. "But there's so much freedom here – the kids can go off exploring, ski in the winter and swim outdoors in the summer." Aside from the dramatic backdrop, the local sense of community was a big draw, too, and the pair discovered their new neighbours were quick to welcome them. "I was invited to a mother and toddler group in the village hall," Anja says. "It was pretty lucky as that's where we met some of the people who have gone on to become our best friends."
OPPOSITE, FROM TOP Deer roam the Highlands; venison charcuterie is flavoursome and sustainable.
THIS PAGE Jan Jacob and Anja and their four youngest children, who all enjoy a hands-on role in the business.
A self-described "outdoors person", Jan Jacob found his new job as a groundsman – which involved forestry management and horticultural duties – highly rewarding, despite the Highlands' inclement weather. It was while working with local deer herds that he came up with an innovative idea to help tackle the ongoing problems of falling meat prices and overpopulation (with no natural predators, deer numbers have to be humanely controlled). "When I was little, we'd buy a cured dry sausage called droëwors from the butchers," he says. "It stuck in my mind and I started thinking, 'Could I recreate something similar with venison?'" After a few years of experimentation with his homemade smoker – a humble wooden box in the garden – he had created a product he was sure would tempt customers with even the most discerning of palates.
BELOW, FROM LEFT Great Glen Charcuterie's reputation for high-quality venison is now firmly established, and a large part of the company's business comes from online orders; Anja slices the meat in the family kitchen. Having learnt her skills on the job, she now helps other female fledgling business owners.
By 2011 Jan Jacob had left his job to focus solely on what had become a fully functioning-business – graduating from the back garden to a state-of-the-art butchery in nearby Roy Bridge, where the couple now live. Since then, the Great Glen Charcuterie team has grown to include one full-time staff member who helps Jan Jacob with production and another part-time employee who assists with packaging. Meanwhile, Anja is in charge of marketing, having taken on the role full time in 2010 when her youngest, Lennard, started school.
At the butchery, fresh cuts of venison are finely minced before being combined with a mix of spices (the exact recipe is a closely guarded secret), along with a fermentation culture, which works in a similar way to yeast in bread. Netted and suspended, the sausages are then smoked over a mixture of oak and beech and left for up to seven months to mature. "It's not a process you can rush," Jan Jacob explains. "Recently we sold out of our green peppercorn salami and had to wait for a month for a new batch to be ready."
With quality and provenance paramount, Jan Jacob procures his meat from game dealers within a 50-mile radius. "As they're wild, every animal is slightly different depending on their age and diet, which means each piece must be treated individually. You need to balance the delicate tastes and textures." Great Glen Charcuterie's range now includes bresaola-and-chilli chorizo, although its signature salami is a firm family favourite – not to mention a hit with the judges at the Great Taste Awards. And, while the couple pride themselves on their products' wonderful flavour, they know the story behind them is equally important. "Consumers today are much more savvy," Anja says. "They want to know who makes their food and where it comes from. It's not just the meat that's important, it's the landscape the deer live in; the heather and herbs they eat – everything has an impact."
"The landscape the deer live in, the heather and herbs they eat – it all has an impact".
As clouds start to gather, casting a shadow over the summit of nearby Stob Coire Easain mountain, Anja rallies the troops to return home: a whitewashed house surrounded by heath and woodland. Although eldest daughters Rosalieke and Pieternel are away at university, four of their six intrepid children are living there. Caring for them while running a flourishing company may seem like a tall order, but Anja and Jan Jacob are adept at multitasking. "As soon as the school bus leaves,I head straight to my home office," Anja says, "and then, when they get back, I'm here ready. I might not have finished and may have to work after bedtime, but that's just the way it goes." Family comes first but, luckily, everyone likes to muck in: "The eldest girls each run a stall at farmers' markets in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, where they're studying, and the boys do packing in the holidays. Six extra pairs of hands definitely come in useful!" Anja also serves as an ambassador for Women's Enterprise Scotland, which aims to boost female entrepreneurship. "I'm proud to be able to show that you can be a mum with no background in business and learn everything along the way."
Back in the warm, the clan gather around the kitchen table while Anja churns out slivers of salami on a vintage Berkel slicer. Now stocked in farm shops and delis up and down the UK, Great Glen Charcuterie has quickly, and rightly, earned a reputation as one of Scotland's most prestigious producers. And, as the family tuck in to a simple supper of crusty bread topped with a generous serving of smoky venison charcuterie, it's not hard to see why.

The Great Railroad Strike
In the first half of the 19th Century the working class in the newly industrializing American society suffered many forms of exploitation. The working class of the mid-nineteenth century, with constant oppression by the capitalist and by the division between class, race, and ethnicity, made it difficult to form solidarity. After years of oppression and exploitation by the ruling class, the working class struck back and briefly paralyzed American commerce. The strike, which only lasted a few weeks, was the spark needed to ignite a national revolt by the working class with the most violent labor upheavals of the century.
Railroads were the big business of the mid-nineteenth century. The rail companies employed thousands of people and ran operations nationwide. The railroad transformed American society from a rural, agrarian society to an urban, industrialized one. The railroads contributed to an economic boom which pulled millions of peasant immigrants from southern and eastern Europe in search of job opportunities and a better life. However, this same industry took advantage of a vast labor surplus and exploited its workers.
A record number of immigrants were admitted into the U.S. during the mid-nineteenth century. Attracted mainly by job opportunities and cheap passage from all corners of southern and eastern Europe, a wave of immigrants flooded the American economy. This mass immigration created a labor surplus which produced a marketplace where workers could be hired and fired at will and had to sell their labor for whatever the going rate; labor had become a commodity.
Adding to the surplus in available labor was the boom-bust cycle. The depression of 1873 undermined the position of many workers and trades unions. With so many workers out of work, employers no longer feared strikes. If one man was opposed to his wages or working hours, a hungry and unemployed man would take his place.
During this period, many Americans, and particularly industrialists and the emerging middle class, came to embrace the doctrine of laissez faire. The poor were so because they lacked ability and determination. The rich were comfortable because of their superior talents and thrift, argued supporters of a new ideology which turned Charles Darwin's theory of evolution into a new vision of society's "survival of the fittest."
As the rich became richer and the poor became poorer, it was realized by the laborers of the railroad that their nation's economic growth and prosperity was not being equally shared among the people. Coupled with years of wage cuts (35% over 3 years), and workforce reductions, that then required remaining workers to work 15-18 hour days, the workers fought back.
In May of 1877 the Pennsylvania line announced another wage reduction of 10% to the worker's along with speed-ups (double the work). At this point the workers accepted it. Then in July of 1877 the Baltimore & Ohio line announced a 10% cut in pay....

Jaydinn + Anthony | Intimate In-home Session, Bentonville AR./
Jesse and I got to shoot with the sweetest couple a few weeks ago, and we left the session with new friends! It seriously felt like we were old pals just hanging out and shooting together, and that is honestly the best. I was casually scrolling through the Airbnb app a few weeks before this shoot and saw this adorable a-frame house, and immediately messaged the owner about shooting here because, HELLO. I cannot get over how adorable this home was, and I got to shoot with an equally as adorable couple in it, so it was pretty much a win. This was the perfect session to kick off the new year for us. Thank you to everyone who has supported our work through the years! It means SO much!

How Methylcobalamine Can Benefit Health
Methylcobalamine (also known as Methyl B12) is a natural vitamin therapy that is a form of vitamin B12 that can be directly utilized by the body in order to repair itself. Methylcobalamine can be found naturally in foods like eggs, dairy products, fish, as well as meat. However, Methylcobalamine can also be taken in supplemental form either orally or intravenously.
It is very easily absorbed by the body and is affordable, effective, easily attainable, well tolerated, and virtually free of side effects. Methylcobalamine is known for playing a key role in the functioning of the nervous system. Another benefit of Methylcobalamine seems to be that the symptom relief seems to last much longer than with other forms of traditional medication or therapies. It is of course important for anyone who is taking supplements to make sure and check with their physician to be aware of any possible interactions with other supplements or medications they may currently be taking.
The benefits of taking Methylcobalamine as a supplement are numerous; it can decrease the risk of cancer, dementia, depression, and heart disease and be effective in many other conditions as well. Three of the most common benefits of Methylcobalamine are:
- Sleep – A recent study conducted in Germany shows that Methylcobalamine actually reduced the amount of time individuals slept, increased the quality of sleep, and showed that individuals woke up feeling much more refreshed with better alertness, as well as with concentration.
- Regeneration of Nerves – There are very few substances that show the regenerations of nerves within peripheral neuropathies. However, it has been confirmed that the use of Methylcobalamine can in fact increase protein synthesis and help to regenerate nerves. This is especially true when Methylcobalamine is combined with another supplement known as Alpha Lipoic Acid.
- Immune Function –Methylcobalamine also plays a very important role in immune system regulation because it acts as an immune-modulator for cellular immunity. Methylcobalamine stimulates T cell production and natural killer (NK) cell activity.
Methylcobalamine has shown beneficial effects with somatic symptoms, such as pain, this is associated neuropathy. It has also been shown to improve autonomic symptoms; in fact research has shown that symptomatic relief may be greater with the use of Methylcobalamine than with electrophysiological therapies.

New letter by Tarek: "Fitnah"
It's my eighth autumn looking at the Sun through a cage.
Though I'm looking directly at it, the fact that the part of the planet on which I'm standing is tilted away from the Sun at this time of year means that its light strikes it at a less direct angle, leaving its energy less concentrated, which is the reason we're feeling the biting cold here. We adapt to this cold, but we can't adjust the Earth's tilt or orbit to prevent it. It's a law of this particular time Allah has laid down that we can't change. Allah said: "I am time. I alternate its night & day, and if I want, I could withhold them both."
Nor can we change the laws of time as it nears its end.
We can't change the fact that, as the Prophet (sall Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "time will become compressed." Explaining this, an-Nawawi wrote that "time being compressed is the disappearance of barakah from it. For example, an entire day will contain the barakah of just a single hour." Ibn Abi Jamrah wrote that "this has been the case for some time now. Those with religious knowledge, as well as the clever ones with worldly knowledge, know this very well. They find themselves unable to accomplish the same tasks they were able to before. They complain of this, and can't explain it." Ibn Hajar wrote that "we see the days go by much faster than they did before… In truth, this is describing the removal of barakah from everything, even time. This is from the signs of the Hour…"
Nor can we change the fact that as time nears its end, barakah is removed from people. 'Abdullah bin al-Mubarak once wrote the following lines of poetry:
Gone are the men whose actions are worth emulating * The men who oppose every evil,
And I'm left behind with people deluded about each other * Such that one corrupt man emulates another…
Before him, Abu ad-Darda' said that "people used to be leaves without thorns. But now, they're thorns without leaves."
And before all of them, the Prophet said that "the righteous people will die, one after the other, until only useless people will remain."
Centuries later, Ibn Kathir wrote that when the Crusaders advanced on al-Quds, the Khalifah pushed the scholars to mobilize the local governors to resist them. Instead, Muslims fled en masse from Sham to Iraq. One of the few scholars who pleaded with them to fight was Ibn 'Aqil, who summarized the attitude of the masses by writing that "one of the strangest things I've observed in people is how they grieve over deteriorating homes, dying relatives, and declining income by blaming the times they live in & the people living in them, and complaining of how miserable life is. All the while, they see the attempts to destroy Islam, the decay of religion, the disappearance of the Sunnah, the appearance of bid'ah, indulgence in sin, and time wasted in useless & harmful matters – yet I don't see any of them grieving over his religion or weeping with sadness over the wasted years of his life. The only reason I see for this is that they don't care about their religion, and are in awe of the dunya. This is exactly the opposite of how the righteous Salaf were…"
So these people had it backwards, failing to understand that the most valuable thing you possess is Iman. To lose it is worse than to lose your life, as Allah said that {"fitnah is worse than killing…"} (2:191) ash-Shawkani explained this to mean that "being afflicted with any type of fitnah affecting the Din – no matter what form it takes – is worse than being killed."
This fitnah is often subtle, and may even come from those who are sympathetic. For example, Muslims are today one of many communities expecting to suffer under Trump's rule. This means that we find ourselves being lumped together with homosexuals, transgenders, and so on. Because the Islamic position on homosexuality is offensive to many in the world who are sympathetic to us, some American Muslims adapted to this awkward situation by softening their stance on it. By doing so, they fell into a fitnah worse than the one they thought they were repelling. Jamal Zarabozo made the point in his book 'Purification of the Soul' that "the Muslim must realize that his very goal, purpose, and way in life is fundamentally different from everyone else in the world today. For example, today, in particular, those who have previous scriptures are, for the most part, secularized in their thinking, especially about social and political issues. The Muslim's life, on the other hand, is supposed to be based completely on the guidance that has come from Allah. No human opinion or view can ever take the place of what Allah or His Messenger have stated."
He continued, writing that "in reality, non-Muslims are either of bad intentions or they are ignorant of the final revelation that has come from Allah via the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, when it comes to spiritual knowledge, worship, and belief in God, ethics and morals, they have virtually nothing – if anything at all – to offer the Muslim. Indeed, they can only harm the Muslim. Since most non-Muslims do not understand Islam at all – and perhaps view it within the light of their own faiths that have been modernized – even those who seem sympathetic to Muslims want something from Muslims that is no more than an abandonment of Islam."
Finally, he wrote that "Allah will judge such people who think themselves sincere and just. However, that does not change what the Muslim's attitude must be today: he must stick to his religion no matter how much these people strive, no matter how good their intentions are made to look, and no matter how many wonderful sounding slogans they give. In other words, in what they see as the best approach for Muslims, they want to see Islam changed. This is in reality nothing more than them taking the Muslim away from the path of purification. Even if one claims that their intentions are good but they are simply ignorant, the end result is the same for the Muslim: they are working to distort the path of purification. The result is clearly one: the Muslim must remain on the straight path and ignore any suggestions to do otherwise."
Nor can we change the fact that as time nears its end, doing this will get so tough that, as the Prophet said, "a time will come in which my ummah will wish for the Dajjal to appear." When asked why, he took hold of his ears, shook them, and then said: "Because of the fitan they'll be facing." These fitan are harsh in nature, as Lane's 'Lexicon' defines fitnah as "a burning with fire," and as "the melting of gold and of silver in order to separate or distinguish the bad from the good," and as "an affliction whereby one is tried, proved, or tested," and as "temptation," and even as "madness, insanity, or diabolical possession."
Nor can we change the fact that as time nears its end, barakah is removed from places around the world to make way for this madness. Referring to these fitan, Ibn Hajar wrote that "these began to appear in the era of the Sahabah, then increased in some places in exclusion to others. It's when these aspects become dominant that the Hour will then occur… These aspects are now on the rise everywhere, although more so in some places than others. Whenever one generation passes, a lot of deficiency appears in the one following it."
The door to the Khilafah has been re-opened, but this general decline will continue everywhere else until, as the Prophet said, "the world will be filled with injustice & tyranny" by the time the Mahdi appears to reverse it all. Even as he was swallowing large swaths of Persian & Roman territory into the Khilafah, Khalid bin al-Walid understood that there would be believers living in the future feeling that there's nowhere to go. So when asked about the fitan, he replied that "a man will look around and ask himself if there's a place where he hasn't been stricken with the same fitnah & evil he's been stricken with where he's standing, but he won't be able to find such a place."
Regardless of where you live, what you've seen around the world lately confirms that the Prophet was saying what could only have come to him through revelation when he said that "no time will come except that the one after it is worse." This law was laid down for a reason. We can't change it, but we can adapt to it the way the Sahabah did when they saw his promise manifest before their eyes, as the Dawlah of Madinah was under attack by the largest coalition it had seen by that point:
{"And when the believers saw the coalition, they said: "This is what Allah & His Messenger promised us, and they spoke the truth," and it increased them only in Iman & submission."} (33:22)
Explaining the promise referred to in this ayah, al-Mawdudi wrote that "when they saw the storms of danger gathering, they remembered Allah's promise. But this promise wasn't that once they believed, they'd instantly take over the whole world without any effort and the Angels would come down to place crowns on their heads. Rather, the promise was that they'd pass through severe trials, endure extreme hardship & fitnah, and sacrifice a lot, after which Allah would bless them with His grace and give them that promised success in this world & the next."
He continued: "On seeing fitnah approaching, they didn't waver in their Iman. Rather, they only became stronger in it. Rather than giving up on obeying Allah, they were ready to surrender to Him whatever they had with complete conviction. Here, you must fully understand that Iman & reliance are qualities of the soul which are tested with every command & demand. At every step in life, you come across situations where Iman either enjoins something, forbids it, or requires you to sacrifice yourself, your money, your time, and your desires. At every such occasion, the faith & conviction of one who deviates from obedience will decline, while the faith & conviction of one who submits to the commands & demands will be strengthened & enhanced."
He finished: "Yes, you become a believer & a Muslim by uttering the Shahadatayn. But Iman doesn't remain static. It's open to both deterioration & development. Decline in sincerity & the spirit of obedience causes your Iman to deteriorate, such that constant regression will push you to the last limits of faith where the slightest move backwards will turn you from a believer into a munafiq. Conversely, the more sincere, obedient, and dedicated to Iman you are, the stronger you'll grow to the point that you can even attain the rank of a siddiq…"
So Iman enables you to adapt to any season, as the Prophet said that "the believer is like a flexible plant, which the wind pushes left & right – knocking it over, only to raise it up again – until it dries…"
And Iman transforms any situation into a good one, as he said that "I'm amazed at the situation of the believer. Indeed, every situation is good for him. He's thankful if he experiences something good, and that's good for him. And he's patient if he experiences something bad, and that's good for him. This doesn't happen for anyone but the believer."
And Iman can be fulfilled in any condition you find yourself, as he told the Ansar: "Give me bay'ah that you'll listen & obey whether you're energized or lazy, and that you'll spend your money for Allah's sake in good times & bad, and that you'll enjoin the good & forbid the evil, and that you'll speak the truth for Allah's sake without fearing anyone's condemnation… If you do this, Jannah is yours."

New York City is an epicenter for urban agriculture. With the largest system in the country, it includes a vast (and perhaps unknown) number of community gardens, greenhouses, and rooftop farms. Despite this vital urban infrastructure, the city still does not have a comprehensive urban agriculture plan. New York City lags behind other US cities that have integrated urban agriculture in their plans and policies, such as Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
On June 11th, the New York City Council held a hearing on Int. No. 1058, a bill introduced by City Council Member Rafael Espinal Jr. at the request of Brooklyn Borough President Adams that would organize, integrate, and expand urban agriculture in New York City for the first time. The bill is co-signed by 46 Council Members.
