MMR IT own their own data centre through which they deliver a disaster recovery service. They do not directly supply the connectivity required to implement the service so require a networking partner with some particular requirements including strong UK coverage and private connectivity to be available with proven high resiliency.

A Killeen teenager was behind bars Thursday after police said he made violent threats on Twitter.
According to an arrest affidavit, Keshon German Horton, 17, wrote a message on his Twitter account Monday referencing the Dec. 14, 2012, mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"(Expletive) it, I got a surprise for KHS tomorrow ima just sandy hook elm that hoe not a threat just a fact," the Tweet read.
The message was detected by the Killeen Police Department, who notified the Killeen Independent School District's police force.
The threat resulted in the assignment of additional police officers at two high schools, the affidavit stated.
Horton's father was made aware of the threat, and asked to escort his son to Gateway High School the following day. The teen was searched for weapons and advised of his rights.
Horton was arraigned on a misdemeanor charge of terroristic threat by Justice of the Peace Bill Cooke on Thursday. Jail records showed he was in custody in Bell County Jail as of Thursday afternoon. His bail was set at $5,000.
Cooke also arraigned Mattland Morgan Mize, 29, on an unrelated felony charge of theft of property in the amount of $1,500 or more, but less than $20,000. Mize's bail was set at $20,000.

My face is long, masculine shaped, and I have a very unattractive nose with large nostrils. my skin is also very bad with large pores. I would really appreciate it if a professional doctor would take a look at my photos and give me your opinions. I feel that my face is very masculine and I am desperate for anything that could help.
What Cosmetic Procedure/treatment Would You Recommend to Make my Face Prettier and Less Masculine? (photo)
Doctor Answers 4
Feminine Face
You have attractive features but enhancing the appearance of the lower half of your face, your jaw, as well as restoring balance for a heart shaped facial appearance will help you appear more feminine. An in person consultation is recommended. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek.

Facial feminization.
There are several operAtions I have done for 35 years to feminize a masculine face. These include rhinoplasty, boney orbital contouring, chin reshaping, etc.
Better facial balance
I agree with your assessment that your face appears long, and that can be improved by changing the general proportions of your face. Adding volume and width to your upper face and thinning your lower face will create a more triangular shape which will be perceived as shorter. Filler, fat injections, or implants in your cheeks will widen your upper face. You can thin the width of your lower face either by treating your masseter (chewing) muscles with botox or by actually reducing the outsides of your jaw bone. A rhinoplasty could reduce the size of your nose and reduce the amount of nostril that shows. There is no surgery to improve your skin, but daily care with good products and procedures like microneedeling can make a big difference over time.
Bryan Rolfes, MD

Rhinoplasty to salmon eyes the face
A rhinoplasty would probably be the best option to refine and feminize your facial features. The rhinoplasty procedure would involve narrowing the tip, narrowing the nostrils, and bridge line while still keeping your ethnicity.

Report summaryBitumen extraction form the Canadian oil (or tar) sands represents about 48% of the total oil production of 4.3 mbl/d. Canada's net oil exports are going to rise due to higher oil sands production. Most petroleum exports will continue to go to the United States by pipeline but new capacity will allow oil production to be exported west. Canadian transportation demand is almost third of total oil demand, with relatively low fleet efficiency compared to Europe, and high vehicle ownership levels

Congressman Robert Hurt today delivered the following statement during the House Committee on Financial Services Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee hearing:
Robert Hurt Opening Statement Text
"Thank you Mr. Chairman. Thank you for holding today's hearing on reducing barriers to capital formation. One of the most important functions of this Committee is to promote initiatives to increase access to capital for our small businesses and startups.
"Last Congress, this Subcommittee led the way in the enactment of the JOBS Act. Among other things, the JOBS Act allowed emerging companies to tap capital in the public markets without enduring some of the most burdensome regulations which inhibit their ability to grow.
"Despite the SEC's inability to fully implement the JOBS Act in a timely fashion, we are already seeing the positive impact of the law as 83 percent of IPOs after the JOBS Act's passage were emerging growth companies.
"We, however, can still do more to remove costly and unnecessary regulatory impediments that are restricting companies from accessing capital in the public and private markets.
"I have heard from innovative biotech companies in my District, Virginia's 5th District, that the overall regulatory burden, which disproportionally impacts smaller public companies, is the primary motivator in their decision to stay private. We must look at solutions to eliminate and streamline regulations to create an environment that is more efficient and conducive for long-term economic growth.
"I appreciate this Committee's continued focus on ensuring that our small businesses and startups have the ability to access the necessary capital in order to innovate, expand, and create the jobs that our local communities need -- that my District, Virginia's 5th District, need.
"I look forward to the testimony of our distinguished witnesses and thank them for their appearance today.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back the balance of my time."

LYMM followed a Cheshire Division One title by winning the North Clubs Tournament at Chester.
The regional tournament brings together the winners of Cumbria League, Durham Clubs League and Cheshire League and features three 11-a-side, 30 minute one-way games.
Lymm drew the first game 0-0 with Liverpool Sefton.
Lymm started the next game against Lancaster well, getting an early goal through Helen Weston after attacking play down the right.
Hollie Acklam finished with a flick into the top corner from a wide angle shortly after and Helen Weston got a second with the slightest of touches from a penalty corner routine set up by captain Lisa Hartley-Woodrow.
Hartley-Woodrow tied the game up with a fourth goal before the end.
"In such tournaments getting the first goal is crucial because it's difficult in the shortened time period to equalise and then get in front," said Weston.
"Unfortunately in the next game versus Richmond Roses we went behind immediately from the push. From that point on we besieged Richmond's D but could not find a finish.
"A combination of amazing saves, last ditch clearances and poor finishing looked like Richmond would hang on but late on striker Nat Riley came up with the all-important breakthrough goal.
"With Richmond dropping deeper and deeper and about two minutes on the clock Hartley-Woodrow found the net with the keeper stranded and we went into the last game knowing a win meant we win the tournament."
Lymm started that game against Carlisle well. Hartley-Woodrow opened the scoring with Ash Jackson forcing an own goal with a strike deflecting in from a defender's foot.
Riley made sure, closing the game out with an unstoppable penalty corner strike into the bottom corner.
Weston added: "Overall, the games were played in a really good spirit and in hot conditions we produced moments of one-touch, expansive hockey."
Julia Harries, deputy president of Cheshire Hockey Association, said: "The sun shone; the technical teams controlled the tournament efficiently; the umpires allowed free flowing hockey to showcase the talent of our north clubs and all teams truly reflected the winning flair that made them league champions."

Experience the beauty and intrigue of Burma
Travel to Myanmar and discover a country of mythical landscapes, ancient treasures and some of the friendliest folk you'll ever meet. From golden-gilded Buddhas in Yangon and the magical temples of Bagan to the tranquillity of Inle Lake, Myanmar will excite, impress and intrigue you. A visit to Myanmar is to experience the South-East Asia of twenty years ago, full of rarely seen sights and generations of stories just waiting to be told. Come and discover a little bit of Myanmar magic with us.
Get acquainted with Myanmar on a tour of downtown Yangon. Truly an incredible city, Yangon is packed with pagodas, giant Buddhas and countless historical sites
See the most beautiful religious sites in Myanmar, including the Shwedagon in Yangon, Shwesandaw in Bagan, the Shwe Yan Pyae (Teak Monastery) in Nyaungshwe and many more
Touring the ancient city of Bagan by bicycle is a magical way to see the place. You'll have convenient and leisurely access to thousands of temples, stupas and pagodas
Get off the tourist track and enjoy a uniquely local experience at the community lodge outside of Myaing. This innovative ActionAid project is the first community-based accommodation in the area, with meals and activities provided by local villagers
A full day of walking through the hills and villages of Kalaw may require a bit of energy, but it's one of the highlights of the trip. Get up-close and personal with the culture of rural Myanmar.
This trip involves a lot of walking – often barefoot. You'll be visiting many religious sites where you must remove all footwear before entering. In places like Bagan, you may need to climb steep steps (sometimes without railing) barefoot, but the views are well worth it.
You'll stay at a Community Lodge in central Myanmar, in simple accommodation with limited power and facilities.This is a new community-based initiative, so there may be some kinks, but the experience promises to be fantastic.
Touring by bicycle is probably the best way to see Bagan. Although it's an easy ride well within the abilities of most people, it does take you off paved roads and onto sandy terrain.
Myanmar is a hot and humid country, even in winter. If you don't tolerate the heat well, avoid doing the trip in summer.
This trip takes you on a full-day walking tour of the villages around Kalaw. While the walk itself is quite easy, you'll need a decent level of fitness to get through the long day.
Myanmar is a big country and there are many long days of travelling. Expect to spend a lot of time in a vehicle when travelling between destinations. This is a great opportunity to sit back, enjoy the passing scenery and get to know your fellow travellers.
Trip search is unavailable.
There are currently no scheduled departures on our Best of Myanmar trip. If you are interested in other trips in the region visit one of the links below.
1. Please provide passport details at time of booking with name as per passport, as these are essential for booking services on this trip.

Our Best of Myanmar trips score an average of 4.9 out of 5 based on 289 reviews in the last year.
This trip was just awesome and unforgettable! Joseph is the best leader you can imagine - he was always there and has a great knowledge to share, about his home country. Myanmar is a must during an Asia tour!
Review submitted 25 Jul 2017
The travel experience that Intrepid offers ticks a number of boxes for us. It provides us with security in regard to booked accomodation, organised sightseeing and experiences, good meal options, the company of people with similar interests, often, and a knowledgeable guide. Importantly, it also offers much flexibility if and when required and the knowledge that we are travelling sustainably and respectfully.

Ratings for Dr. Mark M. Kim
Worst doctor I have ever seen. Horrible bedside manner and complete lack of compassion. Openly hostile for having an opposing idea from his. Seems like that's a common feeling among the patients he's seen. I wouldn't be surprised if he wrote the only good review on himself because he DEFINITELY doesn't show any compassion. He's the kind of doctor who talks at you and doesn't let you get a word in edge-wise. If you want a physician who thinks they're better than you because they somehow managed to get through medical school and residency, book an appointment with him. It won't be hard, considering he doesn't seem to have a lot of repeat patients.
Best Internist my family and I have ever gone to. He is compassionate, spends time answering my questions, is a brilliant diagnostician, and sends me for referrals as needed. Other family members receive excellent care from him also. I highly recommend Dr. Mark Kim as an Internist/Primary Physician, whether you have good health or have multiple medical issues.
Doctor Kim has very serious anger management issues. While discussing my health issues he became irate that I had seen another doctor during an emergency situation. He literally slammed down his clipboard, got right in my face, and started yelling. He almost gave me a heart attack it was so frightening. Highly unprofessional to say the least. I will never return to him and recommend others not go to him. He needs treatment for his anger issues if he wishes to stay in the medical profession. I see from comments by others that I am not the only one who sees Dr. Kim has an attitude.
Dr. Kim is unprofessional and lacks compassion. I had bloodwork done in October, and results which required follow-up testing were given to me in December by a member of his staff. That lack of urgency is astonishing. In addition, he has a dismissive demeanor and seems to resent questions relative to your health. I have fired Dr. Kim, and I hope that he will see these reviews as areas to improve upon.
very good. smart. always cares how his patients are doing.is always on top of things.
My spouse and I were both patient to this Doctor. Until he made judgmental remark about a medical problem my spouse has to me. Which was not professional at all. Not just the point of talking about another patients health issues, but not focusing on mine when I was there.
I didn't have a great experience with him. It was as if my point of view didn't matter to him. I gotthe feeling that me being there was wastng his time. That's not my idea of a Doctor. I wouldn't suggest him period.
I think Dr. Kim is wonderful, I have seen him a few times, he is very helpful, caring and knows his knowledge, I have no ins, and he was fine with getting my blood work done there and sending it out for me so i wouldnt have to pay hundreds at a lab, calls you personally to let u know ur diagnosis, I give him 5 stars....
I have seen Doctor Mark Kim for over 4 years. He dosent care about your feelings at all. He is not help full. Every thing he does is old school. I would recomend anyone to see him. I am now looking for a real doctor I should of changed a long time ago.
Dr. Kim has a definite attitude, I came to him after several trips to the ER and I was very ill. He pressed hard on my stomach during the exam and I began to cry from the extreme pain, he continued to press on the area and scolded me for crying. I asked him to write me a Rx for a pill I had gotten from the ER and he seemed offended that I had an opinion about my own treatment (and refused to write it). He prescribed me something elese that didn't work and my life has been miserable. To his credit he did send me for a bunch of test, but if I had any choice at all I would NOT have him as a primary care physician!

McCarthy sets keeper challenge
Mick McCarthy has warned goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey that he faces a battle to win his place back at Molineux.
Last Updated: 06/10/08 2:11pm
Mick McCarthy has warned goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey that he faces a battle to win his place back at Molineux.
The Wales international was dropped for Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Swansea after Wolves boss McCarthy arrived at the conclusion his goalkeeper had looked 'jaded' in recent weeks.
Hennessey has given a penalty away, been sent off and scored an own goal in his past two appearances; a catalogue of errors that led to Carl Ikeme being promoted from Wolves' reserves to make only his second league start for the club.
With Matt Murray also approaching full fitness, McCarthy admits Hennessey will have to be at his best to reclaim a place in his starting XI.
"We've got three very good keepers and there's not a lot between any of the three of them. We've got a genuine battle now and it would be nice to have three players in every position of that quality," McCarthy told the Express and Star.
"I spoke to Wayne and just felt he looked knackered and jaded on Tuesday night and he'd admit that. Things weren't happening for him.
"I wouldn't say he was particularly out of form, but he's had almost 18 months of pretty constant football including summer internationals. We expect a lot of our young players.
"In his first season he got Player of the Year, got into the PFA team and got all the plaudits and it's then a question of can he keep that level of consistency going?
"He's the Welsh No.1. He's still a fantastic keeper but I've got a squad of players and I thought Carl was excellent.
"Wayne has got to react and be part of it, which he will do. He's got the No.1 shirt at the moment and he took it (decision) like a man in the right way.
"He'll get himself back in, I'm sure."

|[math] Deprecating
|Thu, 03 May 2012 19:21:29 GMT
Hi, in this thread, http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201204.mbox/%3C20120418122114.GB32074%40dusk.harfang.homelinux.org%3E I suggested that we deprecate guessParametersErrors() and replace it with getParametersStandardDeviation(), since the implemented formula seems to be the accepted estimate for the sd of the optimized parameters. There was no reaction, but I don't think that meant agreement (!). Although I do think that guessParametersErrors() is a bit vague (if not confusing), I'm going to drop this proposal unless someone says he supports it. As far as I am concerned, MATH-784 would then be resolved (I stiil need to inquire about getSigma()).

We will be in Nairobi from mid morning to 6.30pm in the afternoon on June 2nd.
We will have just travelled 12 hours by bus and will be travelling 14 hours by train overnight.
Ideally it would be a resort or hotel where we could relax, get food, get pampered a bit before we travel onwards!
Any advice as to where is good and the rough price would be awesome! We dont need a room, just use of facilities

Fadak (Arabic: فدك) was a tract of land in Khaybar, an oasis in northern Arabia; it is now part of Saudi Arabia.
When the Muslims defeated the forces of Khaybar at the Battle of Khaybar; this land was one of the items seized as booty and given to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. Upon his death, Fadak became the cause of a dispute between Muhammad's daughter, Fatimah, and the first caliph of the time, Abu Bakr.
Fadak was a city, which was situated thirty miles from Medina.[1] There were wells of water and trees of dates in it.[2][3] Yaqut al-Hamawi states that this city was named Fadak, while Ham, the son of Noah, first came to this place and put the foundation of the city.[3]
Before the Islamic Conquest
In the 7th century, the Khaybar oasis was inhabited by the Jews, who pioneered the cultivation of the oasis and made their living growing date palm trees, as well as through commerce and craftsmanship, accumulating considerable wealth. Some objects found by the Muslims in a redoubt at Khaybar — a siege-engine, 20 bales of Yemenite cloth, and 500 cloaks — point out to an intense trade carried out by the Jews. [4]
The oasis was divided into three regions: al-Natat, al-Shikk, and al-Katiba, probably separated by natural diversions, such as the desert, lava drifts, and swamps. Each of these regions contained several fortresses or redoubts containing homes, storehouses and stables. Each fortress was occupied by a separate family and surrounded by cultivated fields and palm-groves. In order to improve their defensive capabilities, the fortresses were raised up on hills or basalt rocks.[4]
Islamic conquest (629)
The muslim forces attacked the Khaybar oasis in May 629 (7 AH). Thanks to the speed and secrecy of the march, the Muslims caught the Jews by surprise, and occupied the Jewish forts one after another. Ibn Ishaq, a 8th century Sunni Islamic scholar writes in his early Sirah Rasul Allah:
|When the people of Fadak heard what was taking place they sent emissaries to Muhammad to ask him to spare them and they would abandon to him all their property. He agreed. After he had reached an understanding with the people of Khaybar, they asked to be allowed to cultivate their own lands, and to retain one‑half of the produce, saying, 'We know the estates better than thou, and how to cultivate them.' Muhammad concluded peace with them on this basis, but added, 'If we should find it convenient to expel you, we shall do so.' The people of Fadak made peace with him on the same terms [5]
Muhammad's era (629 – 632)
Since Muhammad was the leader of the Muslim community until his death, he was in charge of Fadak when it was seized by the muslim forces in year 629. Muslims disagree on how Muhammad handled this possession. Ibn Taimiyya wrote in his Minhaj al-Sunnah that Muhammad appointed Amr ibn al-As as the governor of the Khaybar oasis [6]
It is important to understand the difference between Ghanimah and Fay to understand the history and disputes regarding this land:
|Ghanimah is that property (or money), in which Muslims had worked to get it, while Fay is that property (or money), in which Muslims didn't have to ride the horses and camels. [7]
Some Muslim sources state that the Qur'an in Sura Al-Hashr, 6 state that the property was the private property of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, received through fay. A minority of Sunni scholars reject these sources.[8]
Multiple scholars state:
|When the Prophet (s) returned from Khaybar, he sent Muhisa bin Masood to propagate Islam to the people of Khaybar. The leader of the Jews of Khaybar at that time was Yusha bin Nun. The people of Fadak refused to accept Islam, but offered to give them half of their Land of Fadak. The Prophet (s) took half the land and allowed them to live there. This half Land of Fadak was property of the Prophet (s), as the Muslims didn't ride horses over it.[9]
|There were eleven fruit trees in Fadak, that Rasulullah (s) planted with his own hand. The children of Fatima used to present them to Hajj pilgrims and they would give them Dinars and Dirhams for this service.[10]
Yahiya ibn Sharaf al-Nawawi, a 13th century Sunni Shafi'i Islamic scholar writes:
|Half the Land of Fadak, which was given by Jews after the peace treaty, was purely the property of Rasool Allah (s). Similarly, 1/3rd of the Valley of Qari and 2 castles of Khaybar were the exclusive property of the Prophet (s) and no one else had a share of it.[11]
This view of Fadak being the exclusive property of Muhammad was also shared by
Some Muslim sources state that Muhammad gifted Fadak to his daughter Fatimah quoting the Qur'anic verse Al-Hashr, 7. There is a dispute between Muslim scholars at this point.
A narration present in Dur al-Manthur by Suyuti, a 16th century Sunni Islamic scholar states: Template:QuoteHadith It should be noted here that Dur al-Manthur is an objective narration index rather than an expression of Suyuti's own opinion.
Other sources writes in Tafsir on Al-Hashr, 7:
| Jibrael (as) came to Prophet Muhammad (s) and told him that Template:Allah (swt) had ordered that he give the "Dhul Qurba" (close relatives) their rights. Rasulullah (s) asked who was meant from "Dhul Qurba" and what is meant from "Right".
Jibrael (as) replied that "Dhul Qurba" refers to Fatima Zahra (r), and from right it is meant the property of "Fadak".
The Prophet(s) called Fatima and presented Fadak to her. This is the same which was presented to Abu Bakr after the death of Rasool Allah (saww) by Fatima Zahra (as) and she said that it was the same written paper which the Prophet (s) wrote for her, Hasan and Husayn [15]
Shah Abdul Aziz, a 18th century Sunni Islamic scholar agrees on this. He further wrote that it's a sin to deny Fatimah's rights in Fadak. [16] However, these sources are rejected by some Sunni scholars. [8]
None of the major Sunni Tafsir works mention the Quranic verse Al-Hashr, 7 was referring to Fatimah and her rights in Fadak [17], thus denying that this verse makes Fadak a gift.
In fact, some of these Tafsirs state the opposite: Muhammad Assad, a 20th century Sunni Islamic scholar states in his Tafsir:
|(This verse) relates to booty acquired in actual warfare, out of which only one-fifth is to be reserved for the above five categories (i.e. God and his Apostle, the near kin, the orphans, the needy and the wayfarers). In distinction from all such booty, the gains obtained through fay are to be utilized in their entirety under these five headings [18]
In Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn Abbas we read:
|'Uraynah, Qurayzah, Banu'l-Nadir, Fadak and Khaybar, (it is for Allah) specifically and there is nothing in it for you (and His messenger) the command of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) regarding this is permissible, and this is why he made the spoils of Fadak and Khaybar an endowment for the needy people; it remained under his control during his lifetime[19]
Abu Bakr's era (632 – 634)
After Muhammad's demise, Abu Bakr was elected as a Caliph (see Saqifah). Fatimah came to him, asking for her portion of Allah's Apostle's property remaining of what was bestowed on him by Allah from the Fai in Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr refused to let her have it, saying:
Allah's Apostle said, "Our property is not inherited. Whatever we leave, is Sadaqa, but the family of (the Prophet) Muhammad can eat of this property.' By Allah, I will not make any change in the state of the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle and will leave it as it was during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, and will dispose of it as Allah's Apostle used to do.[20]Fatimah became angry with Abu Bakr. Sources report that Ali together with Umm Ayman testified to the fact that Muhammad granted it to Fatimah Zahra, when Abu Bakr requested Fatima to summon witnesses for her claim.[21]
Muslim scholars are divided regarding the exact course of events and Abu Bakr's legality to do what he did.
At one occasion during Abu Bakr's reign as Caliph, a fornicator was banished to Fadak as a part of his punishment. [22]
Fatimah's anger
In a narration attributed to Ayesha recorded in Sahih Bukhari, Fatimah died six months after this incident, and during this period, she refused to talk to Abu Bakr.[23] Fatimah was buried at night by her husband Ali in a still unknown place. Ali did not inform Abu Bakr of the funeral, and he said the funeral prayer himself. Sahih Bukhari is considered authentic among Sunnis, meaning that Sunnis consider it to include authentic narrations only. According to another narration in Sahih Bukhari, Abu Bakr was saddened by Fatimah's anger, saying:
By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, to keep good relations with the relatives of Allah's Apostle is dearer to me than to keep good relations with my own relatives. [24]Other Sunni sources state that Abu Bakrsought to reconcile with Fatimah, and that she became pleased with him again: Template:QuoteHadith The Sunni website AhlelBayt.com seeks to explain the differences in the above mentioned narrations in the following way:
|The explanation is simple: Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) may not have known that Fatima (رضّى الله عنها) had reconciled with Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه). Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) was not present at that moment, so she was unaware of it. This does not mean that the event did not take place. Furthermore–and this point cannot be stressed enough–the Hadith narrated by Aisha (رضّى الله عنها) really means that Fatima (رضّى الله عنها) did not speak to Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) again about the issue of Fadak, not necessarily that she did not speak to him again at all. [25]
Shi'a Muslims believe that Fatimah died unhappy with Abu Bakr, and deny that she was pleased with him before she died. They present the following tradition as a proof:
|Abu Bakr and Umar went to Fatima's house to placate her and to seek her pardon. She said: "Allah be my witness that you two have offended me. In every prayer I curse you and will continue cursing you until I see my father and complain against you." [26]
Shias also say that Aisha lived near Fatimah and therefore must have known about the incident prior to Fatimah's death, and that if she was unaware of the alleged reconciliation at the time it would be unlikely for her to remain ignorant of it afterwards.
Umar's era (634 – 644)
When Umar became Caliph, the value of the land of Fadak along with its dates was 50,000 dirhams [10]. Ali again claimed her inheritance during Umar's era, but was denied with the same argument. Umar, the caliph who succeeded Abu Bakr, did restore the estates in Medina to `Abbas ibn `Abd al-Muttalib and Ali, as representatives of Muhammad's clan, the Banu Hashim. The properties in Khaybar and Fadak were retained as state property.[27]
Some sunni historical accounts mentions that both Ali and Abbas initially sought a portion of Fadak as inheritance [28]. According to these, Ali claimed a part of the property as his inheritance, since Muhammad has bestowed it on Fatimah during her lifetime, and because Fatimah was married to Ali until she died, thus he claimed himself to be the right inheritor. Abbas denied Ali's claims, he denied that Muhammad gave Fadak to his daughter Fatimah, and claimed that Fadak remained in Muhammad's until his demise. Abbas was the paternal uncle of Muhammad, and thus he felt that he was the right inheritor. Then they sought Umar to reconcile between them. Umar refused to let anyone have a portion of Fadak as inheritance, instead, as mentioned earlier, he made them trustees of Fadak.
According to Sahih Muslim, the second most trusted Hadith collection among Sunnis, another dispute arose among Ali and Abbas after they were made trustees of Fadak. They again asked Umar to adjudge between them, which he refused, saying:
No, by Allah. I will not give any other judgment except this until the arrival of the Doomsday. If you are unable to hold the property on this condition, return it to me[29].
The fact that Ali and Abbas was in charge of the management of Fadak, is sometimes used by the Shi'a as an evidence, proving that Abu Bakr was wrong, and that Umar overturned his decision. Sunnis disagree with the Shi'a at this point, saying that Umar made Ali and Abbas trustees of the Fadak - NOT inheritors. At this time, parts of Fadak was still mainly populated by Jews, but this ended during Umar's rule. He heard that Muhammad once stated that two deens never shall co-exist in the Arabian peninsula. He searched for information about that until he was absolutely convinced that Muhammad actually said that, and then he expelled the Jews from the Khaybar oasis. [30] The Jews were given half of the land of Fadak in their treaty with Muhammad, so Umar gave them gold, silver, camels, ropes and saddle bags worth half the value of the fruit and land before he expelled them. [31]
Uthman's era (644 – 656)
During Uthman's caliphate, Marwan ibn al-Hakâm, who was his cousin, was made trustee of the Fadak [32]. The Shi'a accuse Caliph Uthman of wrongfully upholding Abu Bakr's unjust decision and withholding Fadak from Fatima's sons, Hasan and Husayn. The Sunnis believe that Uthman was correct in upholding Abu Bakr's decision since it was the will of Muhammad that prophets should not leave an inheritance.
Ali's era (656 – 661)
Fatima's husband, Ali, is revered by Shi'as. He became caliph after Uthman, but he did not return Fadak to Fatima's progeny; instead, he upheld the decision of Abu Bakr. He also maintained Marwan's position as trustee of the Fadak. Sunnis argue that this is strong evidence to support that Abu Bakr's decision was correct, since Fatima's own husband upheld this decision.
Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr, the revered Shi'a scholar, stated in his book "Fadak in History", that Imam 'Ali did not use Taqiyyah to deny ownership of Fadak. He states, that as Fadak was under the authority of the state, based on the decrees of the former Caliph Abu Bakr, Fadak during 'Ali's Caliphate came under the authority of 'Ali himself, and his two deputies, Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn, his sons.
Therefore, 'Ali deemed it satisfactory that Fadak was now under the control of the Prophet's family, and did not make a formal declaration of personal possession, to avoid resurrecting the old feud, and causing strife and fitna at the dishonouring of the legacy of the first Caliph.
Umayyad era (661 – 750)
Mu'awiyah, the first Umayyad Caliph did not return Fadak to Fatima's descendants. This way was continued by later Umayyad Caliphs until Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz seized power. When Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, known as Umar II, became Caliph in 717, the income from the property of Fadak was 40,000 Dinars [33]. Fadak was returned to Fatima's descendants by an edict given by Umar II [34], but this decision was renounced by later caliphs and Fadak was once again converted into a public trust.
The sunni scholar Dr A. Rahim writes:
|Umar II was very fair and generous to the member's of 'Ali's family. He restored to them the property of Fadak which was appropriated by Marwan" [35].
The shia scholar Abu Hilal al-Askari writes:
|This was the first removal of oppresion by returning Fadak to the Children of Ali (as). [36]
Umar II's successor, Yazid ibn Abd al-Malik (known as Yazid II) overturned his decision, and Fadak was again made public trust. Fadak was then managed this way until the Ummayad Caliphate expired.
Abbasid era (750 – 1258)
In year 747, a huge revolt against the Umayyad Caliphate occurred. The Umayyad's were eventually defeated by the Abbasid army under the rule of Abu Abbas Abdullah al-Saffah (see Battle of the Zab) in year 750. The last Umayyad Caliph, Marwan II, was killed in a lesser battle a few months after the Battle of the Zab, thus ending the Umayyad Caliphate.
Historical accounts differs on what happened to Fadak under the early Abbasid caliphs. There is however consensus among Islamic scholars that Fadak was donated to the descendants of Fatimah during Al-Ma'mun's reign as Caliph (831-833). Ahmad Ibn Yahya al-Baladhuri, a 9th century Sunni Islamic scholar narrates following:
|In 210 Hijri Ammerul Mmineen Manun gave an order that Fadak be given to the family of Fatima. This order was given to his representative in Medina Quthum bin Jafar. I Commander of the Faithful as the successor of the Prophet have a duty to follow the way of the Prophet in implementing Allah's laws. Anything or Sadaqah that the Prophet (s) gave must be given by the Commander of the Faithful, all his virtues come from Allah, and my aim is to do that which pleases my Creator. I have found that the Prophet (s) gave Fadak as a gift to his daughter and made her the sole owner and this is such a clear matter that carries no doubt amongst the Prophet's family. Verily the Commander of the Faithful deems it correct to return Fadak to the descendents of Fatima so as to implement the Justice of Allah (swt) and get closer to him in the process, and implement the order of the Prophet (s) and attain a good reward. The Commander of the Faithful gives order that the return of Fadak be recorded in a Register and that this Order be sent to employees. Since the death of the Prophet (s) the tradition has remained that Pilgrims on Hajj give an invitation to the People to claim anything Prophet (s) gave as Sadaqah or gift to the People, their words would be accepted, in this circumstance Sayyida Fatima has a greater right that her claim regarding the possession of Fadak after the Prophet (s) be accepted. The Khaleefa has told his Servant Mubarak Tabari "Return Fadak to the Waris of Fatima, all its boundaries, rights, production and Servants should be returned. Muhammad bin Yahya bin Husayn bin Zaid bin 'Ali bin Husayn bin 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib and Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Husayn bin Ali bin Abi Talib, have been appointed by the Commander of the Faithful as Agents over Fadak. Verily you should be made aware that this is the opinion of the Commander of the Faithful and this is that which has come to him from Allah (swt) so as to receive the blessing of Allah and his Prophet. Your subordinates should be informed that Muhammad bin Yahya and Muhammad bin Abdullah be treated in the same manner as you dealt with Mubarak Tabari, these two should be supported with the production processes, profits should given to them so as to attain reward from Allah (swt). Wasallam Wednesday 2nd Zeekat 210 Hijri [3][37]
This is also confirmed by the Sunni scholar al-Ya'qubi [38] and the Shi'a book al-Awail.[36]
While traditional Shi'a history works states that the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil (847-861) recaptured Fadak from the progeny of Fatimah [39], no sunni account confirms this. It is however agreed upon that his son and successor, Al-Muntasir (861-862), maintained the decision of Al-Ma'mun, thus letting Fatimah's progeny manage Fadak. [40]
What happened hereafter is uncertain, but Fadak was probably seized by the Caliph again and managed exclusively by the ruler of the time as his private property.
Muslim View
Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims highly disagree about this event.
Shi'a view
The Shi'a believe that Fadak was wrongfully withheld from Fatimah, Muhammad's daughter, by Caliph Abu Bakr, Muhammad's father-in-law, whom the Shi'a consider to be a tyrant. According to the Shia, Fatima would die forever cursing the Caliph for wrongfully converting her personal land into a public trust. The Shi'a believe that Fatima possess ismah, or infallibility, and that she is immune from sin and incapable of mistake; it is thus a logical extension that Abu Bakr must be in error. Furthermore, Muhammad stated that whoever makes Fatima angry makes him angry as well. This hadith is included in the two main Sunni sources, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, in a report which ironically relates to al-Imam Ali, her husband. Hence, Muslims unanimously must agree that Abu Bakr and Umar made Muhammad and Allah angry, the Shi'a claim.
They also deny Sunni claims that prophets do not leave inheritances. They argue that the Qur'an clearly states that Dawud (David) made Sulayman (Solomon) his heir, even though David is, according to Muslim belief, a prophet. Another argument is Qur'an [Qur'an 19:6] in which Zakariya asks God to give him a child that inherits him. However normally, in the Shia Fiqh, wives cannot inherit land [41], however they believe that daughters can inherit land, but in this case, the Shia also argue that inheritance is out of the question because Fadak was given to Fatima during the life of Muhammad — so there was no question of inheritance.
The popular Shi'a website Answering-Ansar.org argues:
|There are several more references which show clearly that no battle was fought to conquer Fadak. The fathers of Hadhrat Ayesha and Hadhrat Hafsa neither rode their horses over this land, nor displayed their legendary bravery to acquire the land. The Prophet (s) acquired this land from the Jewish occupants who gave it to him in return of not being fought against.. He (s) presented it to his daughter Sayyida Fatima (as). It is indeed sad that after his death, the Shaykhayn failed to display their exemplary mercy and snatched it away from her. [42]
Furthermore, regarding the Sunni claim that Fatimah sought Fadak as an inheritance rather than a gift, Answering-Ansar.org argues:
| There is no contradiction over Sayyida Fatima (as) claiming Fadak as a gift and inheritance. The initial demand of Sayyida Fatima (as) was that Abu Bakr returns the land that had been gifted to her by her father. Sayyida Fatima (as) had the land in her possession but Abu Bakr ignored this and the written bequest of her father (s) and refused to return the land. Abu Bakr deemed the land as that of the Prophet which was in possession of his daughter held on trust as long as he (s) lived and which reverted back to the State upon his death. Sayyida Fatima (as) used this assertion to challenge Abu Bakr's right to control the land. After all he usurped the land on the basis that it belonged to the Prophet (s). Sayyida Fatima (as) was still entitled to the land as the Legal Heir so she had every right to make a claim on this basis. Abu Bakr refused her claim that the land was under her control, and he also rejected her claim that she was her father's Waris (legal heir).
The greatest proof that Fadak had been given as a gift to Sayyida Fatima (as) by Rasulullah (s), lies in the fact that she already had possession of the land at the time of her father's death. This would not have been the case if the land belonged to Rasulullah (s). Property which is given as a gift is handed over to the transfree at the time when gift is made (even before the death of the testator). Whereas the share in estate of deceased is taken hold of only after the death of the deceased. The fact that Syeda Fatima was already in possession of the land of fadak at the time of The Prophets death clearly shows that this land was given to her as a gift in the lifetime of her father and there was no question of its being treated as a share in inheritance.
If it was not in her possession then why didn't Abu Bakr point this out to Sayyida Fatima (as)? Al Mihal proves that Sayyida Fatima (as) had the land in her possession. Why didn't Abu Bakr dismiss this claim straight away, stating 'You never had possession of Fadak'? The fact that he didn't challenge this aspect of Sayyida Fatima (as)'s claim serves as proof that the land was in her possession.
(Umar II) can only restore something to someone who had an existing control, and that is why Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz returned Fadak to the descendants of Sayyida Fatima (as).
If Abu Bakr was indeed the rightful Khaleefa of Rasulullah (s), then he only had a right to control those lands that were in the possession of Rasulullah (s) prior to his death. This was not the case with Fadak; it was in the hands of Sayyida Fatima (as), so what right did he have to interfere in land that was in her possession? Hadhrat Abu Bakr should have had a different approach, enquiring into the matter and then deciding 'if the truth is established then I shall seize the land'. Abu Bakr's failure to make a claim, in the absence of proof, and decision to annex the land of another person cannot be deemed appropriate behaviour by the State. [43]
Sunni view
Sunnis believe that prophets do not leave inheritances, based on Muhammad's sayings:
- "I heard the Prophet of Allah saying, 'We do not leave inheritance. What we leave behind is charity.'" [44]
- "We, the Prophets, do not leave heirs." [45]
Sunnis also cite a Shi'a tradition supporting this position:
- According to Abu 'Abdillah (Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq), the Prophet of Allah said: "The scholars are the heirs to the Prophets and the Prophets did not leave dinars and dirhams as inheritance, but they left knowledge." [46]
This Shi'ite tradition is widely considered Sahih by shi'ite ulema. Thus, Ayatollah Khomeini, a 20th century Shia Twelver Islamic scholar, said about the hadith:
|The narrators of this tradition are all reliable and trustworthy. The father of 'Ali ibn Ibrahim [namely Ibrahim ibn Hashim] is not only reliable, [but in fact] he is one of the most reliable and trustworthy narrators[47]
Based on these sayings of Muhammad, Sunnis believe that Fatimah was mistaken in her claim to Fadak as inheritance. However the shia reject those sunni hadith and say that the shia one is specific to islamic scholars and does not apply to the children of prophets. Shias also point out that the contrasting of money and knowledge was mainly a stylistic aspect of the hadith to show the great value of knowledge compared to material possessions.
Sunnis also reject that Muhammad gifted Fadak to Fatimah. They point out the fact that Fatimah never sought Fadak as a gift - in every single narration about this incident, Fatimah spoke about her inheritance. They point out that it was immediately after the Muhammad's death that Fatimah came to claim Fadak, and argues that if it had been a gift during the lifetime of Muhammad, then it would have already been in her possession at the time of the Muhammad's death, and there would have been no reason to go to Abu Bakr for it. Sunnis further argue that it is impossible that Muhammad gifted Fatimah the property as inheritance that she would assume after his death, since this would be a violation of the Quranic rules about inheritance.
Furthermore, regarding Abu Bakr angering Fatimah, Sunnis point out a couple narrations from Shi'a sources that can be seen to indicate that Ali angered her too on several occasions, see Hadith of Fatimah's anger with Ali.
The sunnis argues that getting in arguments is no more than normal, and thus you cannot condemn anyone for getting in arguments which each other.

Forty years on: it was all in the tea leaves was a piece of Coronation Street fiction which appeared in TV Times magazine for the issue dated 3rd to 9th December 1983. Written by Ken Roche, the article was illustrated by John Berry.
Hilda Ogden and Elsie Tanner are having a rare moment of neighbourliness over a cup of tea in the back room of No. 13. Hilda has just read Elsie's tea leaves and has slightly puzzled her as her statements about things in Elsie's life have proved to be surprisingly accurate. Nevertheless, old habits die hard and Elsie makes slightly sarcastic enquiries about when she first realised she "had the gift". Hilda tells her that it was when she was fifteen: Her father had lost his job in a cotton mill and, to help make ends meet, Hilda got a job delivering groceries. Her employer also read the leaves and taught Hilda the knack. On her second reading of his leaves, she saw him winning a small fortune and the next day he won £100 on an accumulator.
The discussion turns to Stan. Although Elsie knows most of the story already, Hilda rambles on about meeting him when she tripped over him when he was drunk in the blackout on a trip to Blackpool and six days later they were married – and that was forty years ago this week. Elsie realises that it this makes it a special anniversary for the Ogdens and before she can bite her tongue she blurts out that in some ways Stan and Hilda have only been together for thirty-nine years. Hilda doesn't take the bait but remembers the day after their wedding night when the military police burst into her parents' house and arrested Stan for desertion. He spent the next year in the glasshouse and then for a good ten years after that he was away more often than not as a lorry driver, sending money home when he remembered.
Hilda tells Elsie something she's never told anyone else. On the day of their wedding she'd seen in the leaves that she and Stan would be parted for a time and after his arrest she grew to rely on the tea leaves a great deal too much for her own good. Some years passed and Stan was home from his driving when Lily, an old friend who Hilda had known at school, popped in. She was up from London to see her parents. After she had gone and Stan had departed on his next driving job, Hilda read Stan's leaves and saw in them a terrible accident and she wouldn't see him again. Worried sick, she tried to get in touch with him and burst into tears when he walked through the door days later when he returned home – safe and in one piece. Hilda realised that she must have read Lily's cup instead and went round to see her parents. They had a letter from Lily who had got married quickly after her trip up north to a New Zealander and moved out there with him. On the boat out she broke her leg but was otherwise unharmed but the prediction had come true: Lily had had an accident and Hilda never did see her again.

Harmonies of The'Net (Questar science fiction)
When the database on which human society depends begins mysteriously to implode, the finger of causality points directly to HuteNamid, an idyllic planet on the very edge of human-occupied space.The man pointing the finger is Stephen Ridenour, a young computer genius with a knife's edge hold on his sanity. The man targeted is Wesley Smith, another computer genius with the keys to that database and, according to Stephen, a revolutionary new theory about the nature of space itself.Admiral Loren Cantrell of the Alliance starship, Cetacean, is given the task of delivering Stephen to HuteNamid....and keeping him sane--and alive--at least long enough to confirm or disprove his suspicions.But HuteNamid holds more than just a singularly attitudinal programmer. Cantrell finds herself up against a log jam of Native American Ethnic Reconstructionists and up to her oft-decorated collar in lies, plots, and deception.For within HuteNamid itself lie the answers to some of the oldest mysteries of the universe.
