NEW YORK, Feb. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Credit Suisse today announced the launch of its X-LinksTM WTI Crude Oil Index ETN which is listed under the ticker symbol "OIIL" and will begin trading on NYSE Arca this morning.

OIILIV (Bloomberg) / ^OIIL-IV (Yahoo! Finance)
1 In addition to the daily Investor Fee, which reduces the amount of payment at maturity, an Early Redemption Charge per ETN of 0.125% times the Closing Indicative Value on the Early Redemption Date will be charged upon an early redemption at the holder's option.
2 The Intraday Indicative Value and the Closing Indicative Value will be published on each Trading Day under the Bloomberg ticker symbol "OIILIV" and under the Yahoo! Finance ticker symbol "^OIIL-IV." The "indicative value" for the ETNs is designed to reflect the economic value of the ETNs at a given time. The indicative value is a calculated value and is not the same as the trading price of the ETNs and is not a price at which you can buy or sell the ETNs in the secondary market. The indicative value does not take into account the factors that influence the trading price of the ETNs, such as imbalances of supply and demand, lack of liquidity and credit considerations. The actual trading price of the ETNs in the secondary market may vary significantly from their indicative value. Investors can compare the trading price (if such concurrent trading price is available) of the ETNs against the indicative value to determine whether the ETNs are trading in the secondary market at a premium or a discount to the economic value of the ETNs at any given time. Investors are cautioned that paying a premium purchase price over the indicative value at any time could lead to the loss of any premium in the event the investor sells the ETNs when such premium is no longer present in the market place or your ETNs are repurchased by us (including pursuant to an acceleration at our option). It is also possible that the ETNs will trade in the secondary market at a discount below the indicative value and that investors would receive less than the indicative value if they had to sell their ETNs in the market at such time.
"Credit Suisse is excited to launch the new X-LinksTM ETN, OIIL, which tracks an index of WTI crude oil futures contracts," said Paul Somma, Head of Exchange Traded Notes at Credit Suisse. "We believe investors will quickly come to appreciate the features of this new ETN. OIIL's annual fee rate is 0.55% and its fees are applied in a 'non-path-dependent' manner, where each day's fee is simply the ETN's value multiplied by the daily prorated amount of the annual fee rate. Since OIIL is an ETN, its investors will not receive an IRS Schedule K-1."
Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Total Return SubindexSM
OIIL tracks the Bloomberg WTI Crude Oil Total Return SubindexSM (the "Index"), which is a single commodity subindex of the total return version of the Bloomberg Commodity IndexSM (the "Base Index"). The Index is intended to reflect the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in rolling West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures contracts, plus the Treasury Bill rate of interest that could be earned on funds committed to the trading of the underlying contracts. The Base Index reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on physical commodities constituting the underlying commodity index. The Base Index was previously known as the Dow Jones–UBS Commodity IndexSM. The Index is a total return index and was launched on July 14, 1998.

Romney Calls On Supporters To Donate To Relief Efforts
At a rally outside Cleveland, the candidate softened his tone and said now is "a time when we need to come together" Cancels campaign events for Sandy.
AVON LAKE, Ohio — As Sandy closed in on the east coast Monday, a slightly subdued Mitt Romney used a campaign rally here to call for national unity and urge supporters to donate to hurricane relief efforts.
"On the eastern coast of our nation, a lot of people are enduring some very difficult times, and our hearts and our prayers go out to them as we think about how tough it's going to be there," Romney told a high school gymnasium packed with voters. "I don't think there's been a hurricane in Ohio in a long time, but there's been some hurricanes that have caused a lot of damage across this country, and hurt a lot of families."
He continued, "I'd like to ask you who are here today to think about making a contribution to the Red Cross or to another relief agency, to be of help if you possibly can in any way you can imagine to help those who are in harm's way."
Minutes before Romney took the stage, his campaign communications director sent out a statement notifying press that the candidate was canceling his evening rally in Wisconsin, as well as all campaign events the following day "out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy."
Romney delivered a defanged version of his standard stump speech, eliminating a section where he accuses President Obama of running a "small" campaign, and nixing a joke he's been using the past couple days poking fun at Joe Biden's geographic mixup.
Instead, he highlighted contrasts between his views and Obama's, and spent more time talking about the need for unity.
"We've faced these kinds of challenges before, and as we have, it's interesting to see how Americans come together," he said. "This looks like another time when we need to come together all across the country, even here in Ohio, and make sure we give of our support to the people who need it."
Romney will go on to a scheduled campaign stop in Davenport Iowa later Monday, before taking a break from campaigning during the storm.

The long-term goal of this program is to improve the standard of care for pediatric astrocytomas - the most common brain cancers in children. Towards this end, we will improve our understanding of astrocytoma biology and develop new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tools for these tumors. The significance of the work is that primary cancers of the central nervous system have now surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Project 1 draws upon recent observations of activating mutations in BRAF in ~50% of pediatric low grade astrocytomas and addresses three unresolved questions. William Hahn, MD/PhD and Jean Zhao, PhD will study: (i) what are the driving mutations in the ~50% of tumors wild type for BRAF, (ii) what are the mutations that co-occur with BRAF and (iii) what other intracellular kinases are co-activated with BRAF? An innovative feature of this project is recently developed methods for genetic profiling of formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples. These "paraffin-friendly" technologies greatly expand the available samples of these pediatric tumors. Project 2 addresses the bHLH transcription factor Olig2, with a chemical focus. Olig2 is a strong candidate for targeted therapy of pediatric astrocytomas. However, transcription factors are generally considered to be unattractive targets for drug development because their interactions with DNA involve large and complex surface area contacts. Another generic problem in brain tumor drug development is ensuring delivery beyond the blood/brain barrier. Charles Stiles, PhD and Loren Walensky, MD/PhD propose to develop specific inhibitors of Olig2 with good penetrance properties for the blood/brain barrier. Innovative features of this project are (i) "stapled peptide" chemistry to create Olig2 antagonists used with (ii) MALDI mass spectrometry imaging technology to address drug penetrance into the interstitial areas of the brain. Project 3 addresses the role of microenvironment in tumor growth. Rosalind Segal, MD/PhD has developed a novel assay for testing the effects of microenvironments on astrocytoma cells. In collaboration with neurosurgeon Liliana Goumerova, MD, she will use tumor cells from pediatric astrocytomas derived from different brain regions to determine whether tumor cells are "addicted" to the location where they originated, and whether tumor cell niches promote tumor growth, survival, and/or chemoattraction. These studies may lead to new strategies for disrupting the interface between astrocytoma cells and their niches. An innovative feature of this project is a consideration of cilia as signaling organelles that coordinate responses to the microenvironment. The three projects interact with one another and are further unified by economies of scale enabled by an Innovative Neuropathology (INP) core.
Brain tumors are now the leading cause of cancer-related death in children;even the children that are cured are often left with lifelong deficits. The goal of this research is to improve the standard of care for pediatric brain tumors. Our three projects are each co-directed by a basic scientist and a physician-scientist so that new insights from these studies can be rapidly translated into novel clinical treatments.

- WIKIPEDIANS! Please give articles a chance, and don't demolish the house while it's still being built. Help the Article Resue Squadron.
Welcome to the Wikipedia userpage of Fudoreaper, which is me. I am a 31 year old male living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I first edited Wikipedia in February 2004, almost 9 years ago. I enjoyed it, and have been contributing to varying degrees every since.
This page contains information about me, and about my editing philosophy. I have also used this page as a notebook of sorts for myself about Wikipedia topics. It is not always up-to-date, but here it is.
About Me[edit]
- See also: Cities of Interest
- See also: Cool train stations
- See also: Fudo Suggest
- See also: Wikimedia Links
When I have free time, I like to edit Wikipedia. I also like computers, and bicycles, and trains, and science, and many other topics, which is why I like Wikipedia, it covers so many topics. ;-)
I like editing Wikipedia to make things more correct and accurate. So I like copy-editing to fix formatting problems of any kind; punctuation, spacing, heading order. I also do some fact-checking from time to time, reading citations and also doing my own looking for information about a topic. I'll add information if I know more than the article does, and I'll correct things I know to be wrong.
I like to re-word sentences to make things more clear, or to explain better to a general audience. I like making things understandable to an international audience, for example making sure we say things like "US President" not just "President", using metric (International System of Units) units, even removing some slang or colloquialisms only makes sense if you have specific cultural knowledge.
I am a soft editor. I edit when I feel am correct, when policy backs me, or when I really want to. But if I am unsure of the text, or unsure of another editor's change, I prefer not to edit. Unless I can articulate to myself a reason for editing, I hold off. Sometimes this means I leave questionable or poor text in an article, but I prefer to let another, more knowledgeable editor make the change. I feel this helps me avoid petty edit wars, and also keeps the quality of the edits I do make higher. But I still make mistakes, and I'm grateful when other editors correct me.
I don't have a specific method of editing, or finding things to edit, except for my watchlist. I check it when I feel like doing some checking of edits, and inevitably some editing. But sometimes I go for days without checking it.
I don't feel like I own any article. There are some I am fond of, and have edited many times, but I never resent or oppose the contributions of another editor on any page, including the (very few) that I created.
Some of my favourite things are:
- adding wiki links, or correcting them. Sometimes pages make reference to something that I want to know more about, but the word is not linked. So I find the page manually and then add the link on the original page. Also, sometimes links point to a redirect page, a disambiguation page, or the wrong version of a multiple page topic. Correcting this, cleaning it up, makes me happy. I like to think that this kind of attention to detail is a valuable contribution, and pretty easy as well.
- fixing up disambiguation pages. Check out WikiProject Disambiguation.
- improving formatting
- adding airport code redirect pages
I have begun to edit Wiktionary. The project is just as cool as Wikipedia, but massively multilingual. You can look up a word that comes from any language, and the definition returns in English, or whichever language you're using at the time. The number of translations is exploding, too.
Oh, I also am the original author of a page about my Hometown, Birtle, Manitoba. I should work on improving it.
Philosophy of article merit[edit]
As of October, 2008, there have been many rumblings about 'deletionism' at Wikipedia. The rumours appear to be true, as I discovered while editing 2008 Channel Tunnel fire with some updated information a couple of days after the fire started. Already on the talk page there was a heated discussion about whether the page ought to exist at all. One commenter, posting 23 hours after the fire started, had concluded that there was insufficient material to justify the page, and that deleting it immediately was the best course of action. I was flabbergasted. How is it possible to know within 24 hours of an accident of this nature what the significance (meaning 'notability' to Wikipedia) will be? I really think editors must spend more time considering, and less time rushing to conclusions where no one is asking for one. (I posted a comment opposing deletion)
Therefore, let it be known that I am an inclusionist. I think we ought to include every topic we can. There are two primary reasons I feel this way.
Firstly, Wikipedia is not paper, it does not have a physical size limit. Having 20 million articles will not make the most popular 1000 harder to use. The point is that there is no technical or logistic limit on the maximum number of articles or article sizes. It is true that each article causes higher requirements of the Wikimedia servers, but the marginal additional cost from a single additional article is so small that we cannot use this as a reason to delete.
Secondly, as long as the information is factual, (and can be verified if needed) and someone cares to maintain it, there is no reason why that article should be deleted. By definition, notability is decided by Wikipedia's editors. Also by definition, anyone editing Wikipedia is an editor. Put those two facts together, and you can conclude that any factual, edited article must be notable, as editors, by their edits, are endorsing it as notable.
In summary, Wikipedia still has a long way to go, and there's still 10 years work on improving the quality of the first million articles. (We're at 2.5 M as I write). However, in our efforts to improve Wikipedia, we should be careful not to artificially limit Wikipedia due to our own narrow notions of what is 'notable'. If the page is factual, but small, little linked to, and not popular, so what? Let it live, adding completeness to our encyclopedia which eventually may serve as a form of history for us.
Think big! Include as much as possible!
P.S. There are some articles that do not merit inclusion, despite my inclusionist philosophy above. For example, I'm still on the fence on deeply-detailed articles about fiction. Fictitious characters, weapons, worlds, etcetera—their merit is dubious. But too many people are being compelled to fight to keep good articles. This is opposite to the attitude that built Wikipedia. We should bias ourselves toward inclusion, and then cut only the truly inappropriate articles.
Edit summary[edit]
There is no excuse for any registered editor to omit an edit summary.
It is immensely useful to other editors, and omitting it is slightly insulting, as if the the editor considers their judgement above reproach, and therefore does not need to explain themselves. Editors who leave edit summaries are more likely to be making good edits, as articulating the reason for the edit clarifies the thoughts of the editor, and encourages considering edits more carefully. Those who leave edit summaries are less likely to have their edits reverted by other editors, due to confusion, or general mistrust of unexplained changes. Leaving an edit summary can be the difference between a revert and a keep, even though the edit may be fundamentally sound.
When editing, the reason for your edit may seem obvious to you, but it may not be obvious to another editor. Especially consider an editor who speaks English, but does not share your culture or country of residence. Examples for western people might be to imagine editors from India, Singapore, or Kenya, where the English language is common, but the culture is much different than that in Canada.
My advice is: Leave an edit summary for every edit, no matter how trivial. It will make your edits better by focussing your thoughts, and it will help your fellow editor understand your edits. Both these things make Wikipedia better for editors, resulting in improvements for all.

Wikipedia 15[edit]
Wikipedia is celebrating its 15th birthday on January 15, 2016. I have thought for a while that it would be neat to meet some local wikipedians. According to the wikipedians in Winnipeg or Wikipedians in Manitoba category you are one of us. I am contacting people in this category to say: Let's celebrate this milestone. If you know other wikipedians, please ask them to join in as well.
I am posting this to your talk page as a transclude so that any updates will show up automatically.
Hope to see you there! Tenbergen (talk) 04:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
One other Winnipeg Wikipedian showed up, in addition to a number of regular skullspace members. It was nice to actually talk to someone else who has worked with Mediawiki and actually "gets" transclusion. Cake was eaten! Tenbergen (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

I feel that if I'd had visited during the spring I would have enjoyed myself much more. This is a small garden, but could be a beautiful place with a little work.
This place has loads of potential but is lacking maintenance. Other than that it is a great getaway if you love nature. There wasn't much color to look at because of extreme summer temperature but there was plenty of shade and mosquitos. I didn't see the 7 acres either. The walking trails are connected so you'll walk the same trail...
Being fairly new to the Jackson area, I am still exploring the city and looking for the hidden gems that aren't regularly promoted or advertised. Not too long ago I visited Mynelle Gardens and was surprised that it isn't promoted more. It is a beautiful place with paths that meander through landscaped gardens, over streams and along the sides of...
We went this weekend to view the grounds. The grounds were beautiful. I would love to come back again in the Spring so we could really appreciate it (It was HOT!!! lol).
There are areas of the grounds that are quite beautiful, especially around the pond. On the other hand, there are other areas that are seemingly devoid of flowers/interesting plant life. When I visited, for some reason the entrance door was locked even though the gardens were open. We had to knock to get someone to let us in. Also, be...
There are beautiful flowers, peaceful surroundings and just about every "green" thing that will grow in the South. Grounds were very well kept. Good sidewalks. The trails were okay but could have used more rock or so I thought.
The only negative thing I have to say is I wish there were golf carts available for those that cannot walk...
Took my 3 yr old princess today and we loved it. We have been to the Butterfly exhibit and Bayou Bend Gardens in Houston. Going to local gardens has become a small tradition for us. The Mynelle Gardens are exquisite. A must go for everyone! We especially enjoyed feeding the turtles/fish. A bonus for us, and getting gorgeous Springtime photos...
Having lived in Jackson for over 20 years, I finally decided to visit Mynelle Gardens. Some reviewers mention safety of the area, but I never felt unsafe during my visit.
The gardens are maintained by the City of Jackson, so it is understandable that maintaining the property is not top priority when there's so many other issues needing addressing such...
Visiting a garden in February once doesn't expect many blooms. But we enjoyed the personalized layout and could envision the previous owner spending many hours enjoying her beautiful yard. Unfortunately many of the plants have aged past beauty, groundcovers have escaped where they ought not be and the ever present weeds are more than the staff can control. The roof...
I was stopping through Jackson on the way to New Orleans, and I love visiting gardens. This one was so beautiful, and peaceful . Loved everything about it. Great way to spend a few hours at little cost. You can even buy a small baggie of food for the turtles and fish in the gift shop.

I REALLY LIKE this A/C. My room is 25' by 13' with an open hallway.

Recently, I started to use CocoaPods. http://cocoapods.org CocoaPods is a dependency management tool for iOS and OS X development. Mostly, the pro is that it is necessary to use third party libraries to help the project develop faster. However, I start to find out that there are some cons of it. First of all, I usually work with my team. As you can tell, we heavily rely on using source control, such as git. Whether you put Pods folder in .gitignore or not, it just not satisfies me. For example, Every time I pull the project which we've been working on currently. The project needs to use
pod setup
in order to build. So there is still the slight incompletion while using source control with CocoaPods. Above all, if you're a solo programmer, especially I'm talking about subcontractor which maintenance is not an issue for you, CocoaPods is literally an essential…

DP1M arrives monday. A few questions.
Dec 1, 2012
Never owned a Sigma digital camera. Had a chance to play with a friends DP1M for 5 min at work. So here I am. Know about the main strengths and weaknesses of the camera. I can live with it all- just want the fabulous IQ.
Will a brand new cam ship with the current firmware or must it be downloaded?
Can't seem to find in the specs if the shutter is focal plane or leaf?
Anyone know what the max trigger voltage is? Don't want to kill the poor thing with one of my flashes.
Have already downloaded the Sigma raw converter ( which I kind of like).
Any camera settings or other stuff I should do when it arrives? I shoot mostly M or AV.

I'll be there for 3 days in early July. Hopefully that'll be enough time.
I can't get them even if I go out of my way to go to Japan. No offence but screw them then, if they are not willing to let a non-resident purchase their product. I won't waste my time with them then and am certainly not going the extra mile just so I can pay them a ridiculous amount of money after already having paid to travel there. I thought it was already enough that they didn't ship overseas, now this. Why does one have to be a resident?
Well, like others have said already, it's not that they won't do it for you, but you cannot have it delivered overseas. You'd have to stay there in Japan for the duration of like 1month until they finish the CIEMs themselves. Of course, that's likely not possible for some, which is why Jaben resellers exist. As long as you do the impressions at Jaben, you can have a friend act as a proxy as they aren't as strict as FitEar about that.
The reason why they don't care too much about overseas customers is... well, there's nationalism at play. And I can't imagine that the custom market is really that profit oriented for FitEar. I believe they make more in the dental industry. And even their custom market is more oriented towards musicians in Japan, not caring too much about foreign markets.

This review is from: MSI 970A-G46 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros: -AM3+ with 1866GHz RAM w/o overclocking
-Easy BIOS UI for overclocking
Cons: -Did not have internal USB 3.0 Header
Other Thoughts: Bought this MB for my own first build using the FX-8350, 2x 4GB DDR3 1866 Corsair Vengeance RAM, and 2x RADEON HD 7850s with no problems yet. My only concern was with the USB 3.0 header but my lack of experience could have saved me the trouble there if I would have looked for it.

Cons: The front panel that covers the 200 mm fan and the rest of the front of the computer is very easy to come off if you aren't careful.
Other Thoughts: Bought it for my first computer build and so far it is doing wonderfully. Going to order some of their fans and liquid cooler for CPU since i have room for a lot of fans.READ FULL REVIEW

Given the level of scepticism about the takeover of Lucas by Varity last September - reinforced by a 25 per cent underperformance in the shares - some sensitivity looks justified. But a more rational explanation lies in its decision to opt for a quarterly reporting policy.
Though this quarter looked good - operating profits rose 12 per cent to pounds 86m - the second quarter of 1997, which analysts estimate will show profits of pounds 97m, will not. The reason lies in comparison with the 1996 figure of pounds 122m.
This corresponds to Lucas's old fourth quarter, which has traditionally been the subject of "window dressing" to improve the look of the figures for the year as a whole. By the same token, last year's weak third quarter at pounds 54m should generate a warm glow when LucasVarity reports much stronger 1997 third quarter numbers: analysts are looking for for an 80 per cent rise to pounds 97m.
A better indication will be given by results for the year as a whole, which Hoare Govett believes will show profits of pounds 326m, for a healthy 23 per cent gain. The group is confident it will hit its pounds 120m cost reduction target - analysts reckon the group saved pounds 5m last quarter - and reduce working capital by pounds 140m over two years. The pounds 100m disposal programme should also be complete by the year end. Margins are already responding, up 0.2 percentage points to 7.1 per cent. Acquisitions are also looking good - contributing pounds 40m to pounds 1.21bn sales, ahead 9 per cent even after a pounds 50m hit from sterling.
Against this, Lucas is battling against sterling and difficult markets. The US automotive market is flat and the French car market could crash 15 per cent this year, but the aerospace and diesel sectors are picking up. Shares in the group rose 7p to 211p. On 14 times, buy for recovery.Reuse content

Surreal Graphic Designs
This project received 15 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $711 SGD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Total Bids15
Project Description
To begin with, I'm looking for a skilled Graphic designer to produce about 6 high quality, surreal images revolving around various themes. While the themes are typically impossible in reality, the designer is to make it look it actually was taken with a camera, despite it obviously being done with graphic manipulation.
The feel and art direction should mirror and articulate these few words; Contemporary, Modern, Special, Impactful.
A very good portfolio of what we are looking for is seen in the website; [url removed, login to view]
The pictures will be used for my upcoming website (which promotes foosball tables as the core product), and I would like to create a similar feel to the website. And so, to get the ball rolling; 1 scenario would be;
1) Dark, snowing night. Igloo. Campfire. 2 Grown p men playing against each other despite braving the cold in thick clothing. Foosball table has a nice glow and focus as a result of the nearby campfire. - The idea behind such a picture would be to establish that even in the most remote corners of earth, people actually do play foosball, in the most impossible circumstances.
So there will be 5 other ideas that will be some what similar in direction to what I've mentioned, and I will be looking forward to getting replies from designers who has the confidence and expertise in delivering something of such quality. I've worked with a freelancer prior to this and the quality is appalling. It's something that I could have done with my limited skills with photoshop and I think it's a waste of time eventually for both of us.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Please start the bids rolling!

Day 10 - Off to Belgium, our Second Country
... Their English is very good and they shared how they are one of hundreds of Belgiums who adopt graves of WWI veterans to maintain. They tend a U.S. Army Sargent from Ohio. They were genuinely proud of their contribution to those who gave their lives to save their country a hundred years ago. Very touching.
Before we leave France behind, a few notable points:
1) Love the shutters on most of the ...
First day in Belgium
We left home around 6.00am, giving ourselves plenty of time to get to Dover early for check-in, and as Murphy's Law goes, sailed down the M2 in just over an hour! Arriving at the port we were first told they would put us on an earlier boat as there was space, then told we couldn't change our ticket as it had been ...
Zondag Dinner
Up at half 6 to let very VERY spritely Prego into the van. Phew! She's definitely a different rabbit from yesterday. We had our cuppas, finished off last nights Sharpe (actually obsessed now!) then headed out for a walk. We stopped off at reception to enquire about buses and extending our stay. As Belgians allow dogs on buses, we're now staying here an extra three nights (leaving Thursday) and going to take the bus a couple of days to Bruges and Ostend to explore these bigger ...
A Whole New World and a Poorly Prego
... and showers then gave her her brek. She ate most of it but didn't finish it. Now anyone who knows Prego knows she NEVER leaves food! So we instantly thought something was amiss. As the morning / afternoon went on, she seemed more and more lethargic and generally pretty hacked off with life. We started thinking about all sorts. We have been "beachy" quite a lot of the time so we thought maybe it was too much salt? Or maybe a bug? Or maybe she was just in a mood?! The ...
... a barn and it had weird bits of fake meat hanging from the ceiling. No idea what that was about. Overall Gent is more city like than Brugge and it feels like it has more of an edge to the place, but Brugge was so pretty it will still be my favourite.
One alleyway I went down was totally covered in graffiti, which was totally allowed as there were loads of kids down there adding to it. It was controlled anarchy!

The World Of The Jinn
Some deep knowledge and a good explanation of the "unexplained" - this is taken from an Islamic basis which imo contains the most clear explanation on the other dimensions-beings-sightings etc.
Invitation to Islam, Issue 4, January 1998
Throughout history man has always had a deep attraction for the supernatural and the unseen. The existence of a world parallel to our own has always fascinated people. This world is commonly referred to as the spirit world, and almost every set of people have some concept of one. With some people, these spirits are no more then the souls of dead people- or ghosts. With others, spirits are either the forces of good or the forces of evil - both battling against one another to gain influence over humanity. However, both of these explanations are more in tune with folk tales and fantasy. The true explanation of such a world comes from Islam. Like every other way, Islam also claims to explain this realm of the unseen. It is from this realm that Islam explains to us about the world of the Jinn. The Islamic explanation of the Jinn provides us with so many answers to modem day mysteries. Without the knowledge of this world, the Muslims would become like the non-Muslims and be running around looking for any old answer to come their way. So, who or what are the Jinn?
The Jinn are beings created with free will, living on earth in a world parallel to mankind. The Arabic word Jinn is from the verb 'Janna' which means to hide or conceal. Thus, they are physically invisible from man as their description suggests. This invisibility is one of the reasons why some people have denied their existence. However, (as will be seen) the affect which the world of the Jinn has upon our world, is enough to refute this modern denial of one of Allah's creation. The origins of the Jinn can be traced from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Allah says:
"Indeed We created man from dried clay of black smooth mud. And We created the Jinn before that from the smokeless flame of fire"
(Surah Al-Hijr 15:26-27)
Thus the Jinn were created before man. As for their physical origin, then the Prophet (saws) has confirmed the above verse when he said: "The Angels were created from light and the Jinn from smokeless fire" [1]. It is this description of the Jinn which tells us so much about them. Because they were created from fire, their nature has generally been fiery and thus their relationship with man has been built upon this. Like humans, they too are required to worship Allah and follow Islam. Their purpose in life is exactly the same as ours, as Allah says:
"I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me"
(Surah Ad-Dhariyat 51:56)
Jinns can thus be Muslims or non-Muslims. However, due to their fiery nature the majority of them are non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Jinns form a part of the army of the most famous Jinn, Iblis- the Shaytan[2]. Consequently, these disbelieving Jinns are also called Shaytans (devils). As for the Jinns who become Muslims, then the first of them did so in the time of the Prophet (saws) when a
group of them were amazed by the recitation of the Qur'an. Allah orders the Prophet to tell the people of this event:
"Say (O' Muhammed): It has been revealed to me that a group of Jinn listened and said; 'Indeed we have heard a marvellous Qur'an. It guides unto righteousness so we have believed in it, and we will never make partners with our lord'"
(Surah Al-Jinn 72:1-2)
In many aspects of their world, the Jinn are very similar to us. They eat and drink, they marry, have children and they die. The life span however, is far greater then ours. Like us, they will also be subject to a Final Reckoning by Allah the Most High. They will be present with mankind on the Day of Judgement and will either go to Paradise or Hell.
That which clearly distinguishes the Jinn from mankind, are their powers and abilities. Allah has given them these powers as a test for them. If they oppress others with them, then they will be held accountable. By knowing of their powers, we can often make sense of much of the mysteries which go on around us. One of the powers of the Jinn, is that they are able to take on any physical form they like. Thus, they can appear as humans, animals trees and anything else. Over the last few years the interest in the subject of aliens and UFO's has become heightened. Programmes such as the X-files and the Outer limits have increased the popularity of the theory that aliens exist. Thousands of people have sighted strange looking creatures all over the world. These sightings however, have still not proven substantially that aliens exist. Rather - and it seems more plausible all the sightings of such creatures were just Jinns parading in different forms. So the next time you see something that looks like E.T, its most probably just a wicked Jinn trying to scare and confuse you!
The ability to possess and take over the minds and bodies of other creatures is also a power which the Jinn have utilised greatly over the centuries. This however, is something which has been prohibited to them as it is a great oppression to possess another being. Human possession is something which has always brought about great attention. But the true knowledge of this subject is rare amongst the people. Over the last 3 decades the subject of possession has become very commercialised. During the 70's films such as The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby were used to educate people about possession. However, because such institutions (the film industry) were heavily influenced by Christianity, knowledge of the subject was non-existent. Rather then educate people about Jinn possession, films such as The Exorcist just tended to scare the living daylights out of us![3] Only through Islam can we understand such a phenomena. We know as Muslims, that Jinns possess people for many reasons. Sometimes it is because the Jinn or its family has been hurt accidentally. It could be because the Jinn has fallen in love with the person. However, most of the time possession occurs because the Jinn is simply malicious and wicked. For this reason we have been told by the Prophet (saws) not to loiter in those places where the Jinns reside, e.g. graveyards, ruins, deserts, market places etc. We have also been commanded to recite the Qur'an frequently in our houses as
the Prophet (saws) said: "Indeed, the shaytan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah (the 2nd chapter of the Qur'an) is recited" [4].
If a person does become possessed, then the name of Allah has to be used in expelling the Jinn. If we look at the practice of the Prophet and his companions, we find many duas (supplications) to exorcise the Jinn. All these duas invoke Allah to help the possessed person. How contrary this is to many modern-day exorcists. Many exorcists, Muslim and non-Muslim, often invoke the names of others besides Allah to exorcise the Jinn[5]. When the Jinn does leave, these people believe that their way was successful. However, this is a ploy of the Jinn, as it knows that if it obeys the exorcist, then it has succeeded in making him worship others besides Allah i.e. commit shirk. The Jinn often returns when the exorcist leaves, as it knows that nothing except the words of Allah can stop it from oppressing others.
It is not only humans which are possessed, but also animals, trees and other objects. By doing this, the evil Jinn hope to make people worship others besides Allah. The possession of idols is one way to do this. Not so long ago the world-wide phenomenon of Hindu idols drinking milk, shocked the world. From Bombay to London, Delhi to California, countless idols were lapping up milk. Ganesh[6] the elephant god, Hanuman the monkey god and even Shiva lingam, the male private organ(!), all seemed to guzzle down the milk as if there was no tomorrow! Unfortunately people were taken in by this (including Muslims) and many flocked to feed (?) the Hindu gods. Anyone who knows about Jinn possession, will undoubtedly know that this is a classic attempt to make people commit shirk. And it worked, as many people started to worship these lifeless pieces of wood and marble. Anyone with half a brain would say to themselves, 'why on earth does a god need to be fed?!! Surely if Ganesh, Hanuman or Shiva were divine then they wouldn't need feeding?' However, such common sense seemed to be lacking as the Jinns played havoc with these gullible people.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
Some bugged out shit. I don't think I like muslim beliefs too much, though I'll have to read into them more before I develop any decisions. Alot of it seems really so self promotional and dismissing to every other belief, but thats really every widespread religion. It really turns me off to your faith though. Thanks for dropping this though.
Peace brother.

"its similar to christian beliefs and all other beliefs in the supernatural"
This nothing like Christian beliefs in the supernatural. This is about spaceships and UFO's for God sakes! Not spirituality. You guys are wacked out of your minds.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
While it's chill to be the dissenting voice in a group, there is a point when the rebel needs to find a more creative outlet to get his point across instead of resorting to some of the tactics you proclaim those on the other side use. It is quite hypocritical. You are not really refuting anything with credible evidence. Instead, aluminum hats and martians `speak` gets thrown everywhere.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
1) None of this stuff is based on any scientifc facts
2) All of it would be laughed out of any academic or scientific setting
3) Any normal person with a brain that is functioning correctly would laugh at this nonsense
4) Despite all of this, some people believe it
And they don't believe it because it's true, or has any relevance of truth in it, or even that it has the vaguest chance of ever being true. They believe it, because they want to believe it. So what's the point in "fighting" this pointless "battle".
I have the right to state my opinion and thats what I'm doing.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
The Occult
Through their powers of flying and invisibility, the Jinn are the chief component in occult activities. Voodoo, Black magic, Poltergeists, Witchcraft and Mediums can all be explained through the world of the Jinn. Likewise, so can the illusions and feats of magicians. Because the Jinn can traverse huge distances over a matter of seconds, their value to magicians is great. In return for helping them in their magic, the Jinns often ask for the magicians to sell their souls to them and even to Iblis. Thus the magicians take the Jinn and Iblis as lords besides Allah. In our day, some of the feats performed by magicians and entertainers are without doubt from the assistance of the Jinn. Making the Statue of Liberty disappear, flying across the Grand Canyon and retrieving a ship from the Bermuda Triangle[7], have all been done by the Jewish magician David Copperfield. There is NO way that a man could do such things without the assistance of the Jinn. It would not be surprising therefore, if David Copperfield had sold his soul to Iblis himself. Because of their involvement with the Jinn, and its result in shirk, the Prophet (saws) said: "The prescribed punishment for the magician is that he be executed by the sword" [8]. Some may argue that this is barbaric, but if, the likes of David Copperfield truly had powers, then they could just put their heads back on again!!
One of the most frequent activities associated with the Jinn, is fortune telling. Before the advent of the Prophet (saws) fortune-tellers and soothsayers were wide spread.
These people would use their associates from the Jinn to find out about the future. The Jinns would go to the lowest heaven and listen to the Angels conversing amongst themselves about events of the Future which they heard from Allah. The Jinns would then inform the fortune-tellers. This is why before the time of the Prophet (saws) many fortune-tellers were very accurate in their predictions. However, upon the Prophet's arrival the heavens were guarded intensely by the Angels, and any Jinn who tried to listen was attacked by meteors (shooting stars):
"And We have guarded it (the heavens) from every accursed devil, except one who is able to snatch a hearing and he is pursued by a brightly burning flame"
(Surah Al-Hijr 15:18)
The Prophet (saws) also said: "They (the Jinn) would pass the information back down until it reaches the lips of a magician or forrtune-teller Sometimes a meteor would overtake them before they could pass it on. If they passed it on before being struck, they would add to it a hundred lies" [9]. Thus, it is clear from this as to how fortune-tellers get predictions of the future right. It is also evident as to why they get so many wrong. Men like Nostradamus[10] are an example, as some of his predictions of the future were correct whilst many were completely wrong. Unfortunately, the amount of fortune telling which occurs amongst the Muslims is also increasing. By visiting Muslim lands such as Morocco, one is able to see as to how much inter Jinn-fortune-teller activity there really is. If you look up at the sky on a clear night in Morocco, you will see the heavens ablaze with shooting stars! A clear display of the devils being chased away from the heavens.
Fortune-tellers also operate through the Qareen. The Qareen is the Jinn companion which is assigned to every human being. It is this Jinn which whispers to our base desires and constantly tries to divert us from righteousness. The Prophet (saws) said: "Everyone of you has been assigned a companion from the Jinn. The companions asked: Even you O' Messenger of Allah? And the Prophet replied: Even me, except that Allah has helped me against him and he has submitted. Now he only tells me to do good" [11]. Because the Qareen is with a person all his life, it knows all that has happened to the person from the cradle to the grave. By making contact with the Qareen, the fortune-teller is thus able to make out that it is he who knows about the person. He looks in his crystal ball or the palm of a person and proceeds to amaze him with knowledge which no one else knows[12]. The severity of going to a fortune-teller is such that the Prophet (saws) said: "The prayer of one who approaches a fortune-teller and asks him about anything, will not be accepted for forty days or nights" [13] and: "Whosoever approaches a fortune-teller and believes in what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammed" [14]
The effects of the Jinn are not just limited to fortune-tellers. Other activities such as oujia boards and seances, which are used to contact the dead, are manipulated by the Jinn. 'Are you there Charlie? Speak to us Charlie!!' are the sort of words spoken by anxious relatives (names are obviously different!) seeking to make contact with their loved ones. And it is when the Jinn starts to talk and communicate as 'Charlie', that the people are truly fooled[15].
One of the biggest manipulations of the Jinn is through visions. Through these visions the Jinns are more likely to lead people away from the worship of Allah then any other way. When a person sees a vision in front of his eyes it is something which is very hard to explain away. Only by having knowledge of the world of the Jinn and conviction in Allah, can a person fight such a trial. The countless numbers of visions of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary over the centuries has been a popular choice for the devils. It almost seems as if leading Christians astray is the most easiest trick for the Jinns! Not only are Christians fooled by these visions, but often the Jinns possess and begin to talk from their voices. To the Christians this is known as the tongues of the Angels and thus a proof for their faith. However, the amount of unintelligible nonsense and rubbish which is heard is a clear proof that this is in fact the tongues of the devils! For other people, visions of their parents or relatives are commonplace. By taking on the form of peoples parents, the Jinns can convince people that the souls of dead people still mix with the people of the earth. This is why so many people believe in ghosts.
The onslaught of satanic visions has also hit the Muslims. Many Muslims claim to have seen visions of the Prophet Muhammed (saws) and even Allah! By doing this, Shaytan is able to lead astray the weak Muslims. Through such visions, Muslims are often told that the commands of Islam are not applicable to them. The Jinns tell them that Prayer, Fasting, Hajj etc. are not obligatory for them. It is a great deception and unfortunately one which has been very effective. The extent of satanic visions still continues to this day. The recent death of Diana Princess of Wales sparked off great love and adoration for this woman. In fact the grief of the British people was such, that it was as if Diana was something divine. No sooner had the mourning of Diana reached its peak, that visions of her were already being seen at HamptonCourtPalace! If these visions did occur, the desire of Iblis and his army of Jinn to capitalise on this event, was evident. Such visions are clear attempts by Iblis to lead mankind away from the path of Allah [16].
The world of the Jinn is one which is both sinister and intriguing. By knowing of this world we can explain many of the mysteries and issues which bother us. By doing this we can avoid the extremes which the people have gone to; nothing being more extreme then worshipping others besides Allah. By learning the Tawheed of Allah, we defend ourselves from these hidden allies of Iblis:
"Indeed he (Iblis) and his tribe watch you from a position where you cannot see them"
(Surah Al-A'raf 7:27)
Maybe there is a Jinn sitting in the corner of your room right now, or even one behind you. If so, then how will you deal with this creation of Allah? Learn Islam properly and you will be able to deal with all of Allah's creation - and not just the Jinn. By becoming true Muslims and followers of Islam, the fear of Iblis, Jinns and anything else will leave us - nothing will touch the Believer unless Allah wills.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
I also enjoyed reading it. I keep my mind open to this kind of thing because I have felt some weird things myself. I also know that just because we don't know of something doesn't mean it can't exist....history shows us that over and over.
Personally, I do believe there are energies at work beyond what we perceive as the physical realm. I believe things such as intent can carry energies which can impact on our physical world, subtley but powerfully.
As to Jinn, I don't necessarily believe in them, nor disbelieve, at this stage. But one thing I keep in mind is that the person claiming they exist (Muhammed) is alot further advanced spiritually than I.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
I just finished reading the second post. It talks about visions and magic. So what about Moses? How do we know his magic is from God and no Jinn? Or Joseph, who told fortunes by interpreting dreams?
By this standard countless prophets would be nothing more than men who sold their souls to the devil. I think the intent is what makes the difference. Like the first post said that Jinn have powers and how they use them is a test. The same could go for people. Powers that can be developed, sensitivities to an unseen world must be able to be used for the sake of God.

Re: The World Of The Jinn
Peace Subtle,
And yes Muhammad alayhi salaam was very advanced spiritually, due to his position with God and what God sent him to do. I know of many qualities of this great man but i still feel i need to learn more and plan on doing so.
For your best answers consult Quran imo - even though of course those stories are there in the other scripture of the earlier People of the Book.
