What's New? Stacking the Shelves
Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. Hop on over there to ogle what other bloggers got this week.
I attended a Scholastic Reading Summit in the Washington D.C. area on Tuesday. I went to one two years ago in the Boston area and really enjoyed it so I thought I'd make a little trip to DC not realizing that Herndon, VA is not all that close and convenient to DC. Doable, but I got a late start on Monday and didn't get to see anything once I got there. But l took the long way home and hit three Civil War battle fields.
I highly recommend attending one of these Summits if they are in your area. As conferences go, it is not expensive and you get so much. Plus, there's a Scholastic Book Fair too!
Each attendee got a cool messenger bag filled with some conference material and these books:
Dog Man by Dav Pilkey.
Riding Chance by Christine Kendall.
Pink is for Blobfish by Jess Keating.
The Reading Zone by Nancie Atwell & Anne Atwell Merkel.
I already have the first three books in my library and have read two of the three. I may just give these books away to some new teachers in my building. I have not read The Reading Zone and am behind in my professional reading.
I also received Groovy Joe: Ice Cream and Dinosaurs by Erc Litwin for signing up for.., hm, you know? I can't remember.
Then, of course, I bought from the fair. I showed great restraint and resisted buying tons. Here's what I couldn't resist:
Every Child a Super Reader by Pam Allyne & Ernest Morrell.
The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors by Drew Daywalt. Illustrated by Adam Rex.
Shark Lady: the true story of how Eugenie Clark became the ocean's most fearless scientist by Jess Keating.
Abraham by Frank Keating.
Olinguito, from A to Z!/ ¡Olinguito, de la A a la Z! Unveiling the Cloud Forest by Lulu Delacre.
Good Dog by Nicola Jane Swinney
That's what's new with me. What's new with you?

Musique Automatique
" It is not about importing music to the Metaverse,
but about creating music in-world with the tools at our disposal."
During the last months I have been working on New Caerleon (SL), making an entirely scripted environment, able to produce randomized as well as interactive music.
I wish to thank a small group of people without whom this project would never have taken place:
Gary Zabel (Georg Janick), Luce Laval, Pixels Sideways, Lollito Larkham.

Beginning tomorrow, I'll be conducting one two-hour training session each day for our web editors identified across campus this spring.
We have 13 editors taking responsibility for academic departments and another 23 editors responsible for administrative offices and non-academic areas. That's a lot of cooks in the kitchen.
As important as it is for our newly crowned editors to understand how to use the new content management system, understanding WHY things are posted on the web is what will keep us moving forward. A majority of our two-hour session will be spent on best practices . Writing for the web, understanding our audience, basic web marketing, and search engine optimization are all topics that will be touched on.
If you are a tagged web editor, don't worry. We know some of you jumped head-first at the chance to be a part of this, and some of you are being pulled along kicking and screaming. We don't expect you to be a web marketing guru. You don't even have to like it. Our goal is to equip you with enough knowledge to make good decisions when it comes to posting content for your area of responsibility and understanding the potential positive impact our new site, equipped with great content, can have on our audiences. If we're lucky, we'll convert a few of you in the process.
By the way, we're still here to help! Contact us anytime with questions, ideas, concerns, tasteful jokes… When in doubt, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
p.s. 29 days 'till launch.

10.21253/DMU.9867764.v1 Longinus Ogugua Geoff Smith Ahmet Orun The use of through vial impedance spectroscopy (TVIS) for determination of ice nucleation, solidification end point, and mannitol crystallization during freezing and re-heating. Poster presentation at the APS PharmSci Conference Greenwish, 11-13th Sept. 2019 2019 De Montfort University Freeze drying nucleation polymophisms Mannitol lyophilization process TVIS cables temperature change impedance capacitance curve dielectric relaxation processes thermophysical property 2019-09-18 14:50:47 article https://dmu.figshare.com/articles/The_use_of_through_vial_impedance_spectroscopy_TVIS_for_determination_of_ice_nucleation_solidification_end_point_and_mannitol_crystallization_during_freezing_and_re-heating_Poster_presentation_at_the_APS_PharmSci_Conference_Greenwish_11-13t/9867764
This is a study of the freezing/reheating behavior of aqueous solutions of mannitol with respect to lyophilization process development given the prevalent use of the excipient. Here, through-vial impedance spectroscopy (TVIS) was used to study the thermophysical kinetics of an aqueous solution of 5%w/v mannitol during a freezing and re-heating phase of a freeze-drying cycle. Temperature calibration of the TVIS parameter FPEAK enabled the determination of the ice nucleation temperature Tn at −13 oC while the ice solidification end point was observed based on the time profile of C' (0.2MHz), i.e. the real part capacitance at 0.2 MHz. A time difference of 20 min between the onset and end point then defines the ice solidification time ti. A later step in C' (0.2MHz) indicated that mannitol crystallized at -32 oC and 20 minutes from end of ice solidification. Upon reheating at 0.2 oC/min, a large increase in C' (0.2MHz) was seen at −32 oC indicating the onset of melting of mannitol crystals which then lasted 20 min.

Clear debris in your pipes
A Better Plumber & Sewer offers a unique drain line cleaning service that utilizes high-pressure water jets to clear clogged drain lines. We offer this service to the entire Chicagoland area, including Schaumburg, Roselle, Hanover Park, Streamwood, Bartlett, Carol Stream, Elmhurst, Wheaton, Lombard, Addison, Glen Ellyn and Spring Grove.
• Penetrating and emulsifying grease
• Breaking up sludge and debris
• Pulverizing roots
• Cutting out hardened scale
• Flushing out the system, leaving lines clear
Water jetting service
Contact us today to schedule a service call to have your sewer lines cleaned. Our friendly staff is available to answer your questions.
Our technicians will rid your drains of clogs without damaging your pipes in the process.
Contact us for all of your drain cleaning needs.
Our jetting system is superior because we use the water pressure to flush debris out of the drain line rather than just push it further in. This way, the debris is completely removed from your line, and your chances of blockage in the future are minimized.
One of the most remarkable developments in sewer cleaning technology is the water jet. A hose is propelled by water into the sewer line under tremendous pressure (up to 4000psi). As the hose returns, the sewer line is cleaned by powerful forward and reverse jets of water, which wash the scale, silt, sand, grease and other materials back to the manhole for removal.
Cleaner pipes mean fewer service calls and less down time. That means you save money!

The first page of the menu is riddled with truffles. It isn't the season anymore—black truffles make their elaborate entrance in the winter in the Rhone Valley—but Chef stores them, finds ways to preserve them, holds onto the fresh ones for as long as possible and paints his simple regional dishes with the earthy, musky, unctuous richness of the elusive mushrooms. The seasonal vegetables are sautéed with a kiss of butter and tossed with truffles. The scallops are pierced and topped with truffles. The frisée salad is blanketed in shaved truffles. The chicken is stuffed with truffles. Even toast is stacked high with fat slices of truffles. We've caught the end of his supply, he tells us in the kitchen. He holds up a jar, maybe a gallon in capacity, filled with knobby black clusters ranging in size from a lime to my fist.
I can't read the menu, but my guesses are close. We're tucked away here, far from Paris and places where too many tourists venture. The Rhone Valley has its international pull—Châteuneuf-du-Pape, Avignon, etc—but there isn't much reason to wander down these windy roads past gnarled ancient vineyards whose owners gave up long ago, past the clusters of wild thyme and lavender that line the roads, past old farmhouses and into a tiny town with tunnels made by sycamores. Not much reason, that is, save this restaurant, Beaugraviere, off the main road in Mondragon.
"I would like to eat here whenever possible," my husband ceremoniously announced on our way. "Ok," I laughed. "That's fine." Now I'm beginning to see why.
The room is not beautiful. The walls are unadorned, butter yellow, it in many ways resembles a church reception hall. There is one piece of art, though—a brightly colored canvas leaning on a high table with a portrait of a truffle, a plate with black lumps and a glass of wine behind it, because this is and has been the glory of this place forever. Chef Guy in the kitchen, sommelier and maître d'hôtel Daniel, his wife Tina out front, and a server Cedric run everything and the cellar is unpretentious and ripe with hidden old Burgundies, Rhone wines, and interesting bottles left untouched for years.
The 2006 Meursault we're drinking—rich, complex, sweet corn and oats and lemon balm—is put corked and put away for tomorrow (we will be back tomorrow) and a Châteuneuf-du-Pape arrives, Vieille Julienne Vieille Vignes 2000, a cuvee not even made any more. "You'll want the red for the truffles," my husband practically sings. He's like a little boy who just discovered his supper is Fruit by the Foot.
When the plates arrive I have to blink a few times to clarify that there are in fact other things besides truffles there at all. The frisée salad is utterly blanketed, the asparagus is balanced if not overrun by matchstick-shaped pieces of marbley black mushroom. We get scallops and chicken for our main courses, scallops perfumed from the inside out with truffles, chicken steamed with them under its skin, potatoes flecked and topped with truffles, sauces of steeped truffles, raw truffles shaved on top. The perfect apple pastry with honey ice cream at the end of the meal is untruffled.
If it seems like overkill, it was, but if you assume we were weary of the things, you are wrong.
The next day, back for Sunday lunch, we drink the rest of our Meursault and open another Châteuneuf-du-Pape (when in Rome, when in Rhone, right?), a birth year wine for me: 1986 Rayas. It's much more than lovely, dark leathery fruit, musky perfume of spices and cedar, earth, and a musky quality that echoes the inevitable truffles on our plates. We're more reasonable, more specific: salad, toasts, but maybe skip the truffles for my main course.
Mistake number one at Beaugraviere: skipping the truffles for the main course.
The perfect pigeon, nibbled intermittently between baby bounces, is delicious but I can't help but feel like I've missed an opportunity. The tiny carnage on my plate is a clear sign I've enjoyed myself, but the truffles…
We eat dessert and drink espresso on the terrace in the sun which reminds you of your proximity to the Mediterranean and the breeze that hints at the Alps.
A change in travel plans brings us back here again two days later. This feels like the plan all along: the first visit is to deal with the shock of it all, the amazing array of wine and food and fungus. The second visit is to wander off the truffled path, explore, squander a bit, and the third visit is to return home again, head down and hands out begging forgiveness. How could I have ever thought something else would be better? I think as the salad, toasts, and chicken arrive.
We ask for something interesting to drink, a bottle of the sommelier's choosing, and he returns with a 1981 Chateau la Nerte, a Châteuneuf-du-Pape from a year without acclaim, a sleeper as they're often called. It's remarkably interesting and uncurls like a smoldering corner of newspaper: constantly changing, constantly compelling. It feels light and rich at once, unimposing but complementary. I feel spoiled.
"It's peasant food, really," my husband says. Bread, vegetables, some chicken, and a little mushroom somebody found in the woods. We alternate dancing with the baby and stealing perfect bites, the prodigals returned.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg is taking some extraordinary steps to try to convince Australians that everything is all right with the economy, but it will take more than spin. In an unprecedented move on Thursday, the Treasurer invited Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Philip Lowe to his office and orchestrated a joint mini-press conference about the economy. Dr Lowe said he and the Treasurer were ''100 per cent in agreement'' that the economy was growing.
Treasurers and the RBA have always collaborated behind the scenes, but this was the first time in many decades that the RBA governor and the Treasurer have spoken from the same podium, however briefly. The event creates a worrying precedent. Excessive closeness with the government could compromise the RBA's hard-won independence since the early 1990s to set monetary policy.
The fact that the RBA is able to raise and lower interest rates in the long-term interests of the economy without political interference has been crucial for Australia's record 28 years of uninterrupted growth. Former RBA governor Glenn Stevens famously made the point in the 2007 election when he raised interest rates weeks after John Howard promised to keep them low.
Mr Frydenberg has form in trying to co-opt independent regulators for his political ends. The meeting with Dr Lowe was reminiscent of the photo opportunity last February when he prevailed on Kenneth Hayne to sit by his side when the former judge handed over his report after the royal commission into the banks. Mr Hayne's discomfort on that occasion was excruciating.
Dr Lowe has shown more good humour about the latest stunt but it was still not a good look. Australia must not follow US president Donald Trump, who has tried to bully the US Federal Reserve into cutting rates.
The fact that Mr Frydenberg organised this unusual public meeting with the RBA is not necessarily a good sign. It could suggest he is worried that consumer and business confidence are flagging.
At the meeting on Thursday, Dr Lowe pointed to three causes for optimism: house prices seem to have stopped falling; tax cuts will soon be hitting the accounts of middle-income earners; and the 0.5-percentage-point reduction in the official cash rate by the RBA is reducing mortgage repayments.
At the same time, the bad news is that household debts are increasing and incomes are stagnating.
Indeed, the RBA released research this week showing that the growth in debt has households worried and is making all households, not just those on low-incomes, cut their spending.
That could frustrate Mr Frydenberg's hopes that consumers will rush out and spend their tax refunds. If they do not, the government and the RBA will come under pressure to do more to stimulate the economy to prevent unemployment rising. Yet further spending, such as a cash splash of cheques or emergency infrastructure projects, could be seen as a sign of panic.
Given the complexity of the levers that can be pulled to control the economy, it seems extraordinary that Dr Lowe and Mr Frydenberg could truly be in ''100 per cent agreement''. Australian needs more than spin from those running the economy.

Here's a peek at the ink that's been flowing recently. As you can tell, Joann Sfar has been big on my mind recently.
So what's new with me? Well, I recently picked up an illustration gig here in the Upper Valley. I can't talk too much about it yet, but I'll let you know how it pans out. There's a pretty quick turn around on the project, so I should be able to share that with you soon.
Besides that, I'm currently working on 3 stories for an anthology project here at CCS. The anthology that I'm working on with my fellow students revolves around a time travelling delivery service. Each of the stories will be about the delivery of a particular item that plays an important role in the course of history. No fancy time logic here, just a simple premise and solid, whole hearted storytelling.
I'm looking to have the stories done by early December, one revolves around Yves Klein, another around Shodo, and another around chinese latticework. I've really been enjoying researching the three. I'm excited to what the sum of our efforts together is going to allow for us to create, especially the packaging.
Finally, as usual, I want to share some music with you. Earlier this week I came across the following video that juxtaposes Stan Brakhage's experimental silent films, Dog Star Man, with Boards of Canada's Music Has the Right To Children. There are some really nice moments of synchronicity. Makes for some really nice background noise visually and musically while drawing.

Sci-fi roleplaying and worldbuilding community
Pagoda No Uesureya (commonly called Pagoda no Uesu) is a city on Planet Yamatai. It is named after the 13-story pagoda castle built there in a traditional ancient Japanese style.
Formerly the seat of the Uesureyan Empire, the city soon grew in size when it was allocated to be the home site of the infamous corporate weapons manufacturer, PNUgen Corporation. The city supports a population of about 125,000.
Pagoda no Uesu's main attractions are the 13-story imperial pagoda and the large garden surrounding the city. Security is tight around the old labs, which are said to be filled with some strange murderous creations and accidents of PNUgen's research, and a few old robotic guards as well. Birthplace of Ketsurui Yuumi and Ketsurui Yui. The PNUgen labs were heavily damaged in a raid by the YSS Sakura in YE 29.
In YE 38, Trinary Star Shipping established a storefront in Pagoda no Uesureya.
A Kikyo Pie Company opened in Pagoda no Uesureya in YE 41.
Pagoda No Uesureya is part of the planetary rail network and has lines running North to Ketsurui no Iori, South to Kyoto, and East to Castle Anisa.

Mayor Dave - Standing Up for Bedford Borough
In his latest regular email, Mayor Dave Hodsgon has written of the importance in his role of standing up for Bedford Borough, especially in the face of government attempts to reduce and remove vital local services. Mayor Dave has led campaigns against repeated attempts by Government and NHS bosses to downgrade Bedford Hospital and remove key services, for example, and he stands ready to carry on the fight to get the best for Bedford Borough in the four years ahead.
You can sign up to receive regular email updates from Mayor Dave here and meanwhile you can read his latest email, sent at the end of last week, below:
As government cuts and closure plans have continued over recent years, the part of my job as Mayor to stand up for Bedford Borough has become even more critical.
I've stood alongside residents, councillors and campaigners from all parties and of none on a range of issues:
- Preventing the repeated attempts by Government and NHS bosses to downgrade Bedford Hospital - with services such as A&E, maternity and paediatrics targeted for removal from Bedford altogether at various times.
- Saving Putnoe Walk-In Centre from the planned closure. In public and private I pressed NHS Commissioners to reverse the closure plans, alongside others, and the pressure of the campaign means it remains open today.
- Forcing a u-turn on Conservative Government plans for an additional £1.3m cut to our schools funding for next year.
… and many more besides. And I continue to make the case for Bedford Borough on ongoing issues such as the need for progress on the works to finally sort out the Black Cat roundabout and deliver a fully dualled route to Cambridge, on the importance of East-West Rail services via Bedford and on the need for Bedford to retain intercity rail services. Indeed, I raised all of these issues in a meeting in Parliament with MPs only this week.
Meanwhile, I continue to champion local employers, charities, events and everything that helps make Bedford Borough a great place to live.
With many challenges ahead where we'll need a strong, effective voice for Bedford Borough, I'm ready to keep up the fight to get the best for our communities.
Best wishes
P.S. Getting the best for our communities includes getting our roads moving and tackling congestion for all road users. That's why this week I've announced my plans to deliver the Prebend Street Relief Road, which will not only reduce traffic at the notorious 5-way roundabout with Ford End Road and Midland road but also improve air quality for local residents at what is a notorious hotspot. You can find out more here.

This is only going to happen once. We will consecrate our new structure. It happens Sunday afternoon, April 8th at 4:30. I encourage you to attend.
Consecrate isn't a word we use too much these days. It means to make holy and dedicate to a higher purpose. Anything consecrated is dedicated to God and thus sacred. So this weekend our building will become a church.
We will have guests. Our Bishop will be joining us. So will our District Superintendent. They will encourage us and remind us that we are part of the body of Christ who are in position to do amazing things in our neighborhoods and beyond.
We will take time and give thanks to some of the people who made this building possible, functional, and beautiful. Our building team will be present. They have worked so hard for so long. Our architects will be present. Their gifts of creativity and vision will be a blessing to our congregation and community for years to come. Craftsman, staff, and others will be recognized for their significant contribution to this wonderful space.
And God will be present as well. It's Christ's Church and his world. He is the one who guided us and sustained us through Chapter 1 and He is with us as we embark on Chapter 2, together believing the best is yet to come.
Joshua talks about another sort of consecration altogether. The people of Israel were moving from the wilderness to the land God promised to them. Joshua had just taken over from Moses and he speaks to the people:
Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you. –Joshua 3:5
He is saying something like: Seek holiness. I mean: do your best to think, speak, and act like God thinks, speaks, and acts. Dedicate yourself to a higher purpose. God's purposes. Be a bright light in our world that needs more light and better light. Be sacred in our secular world. And when we do such things, God's promise is that God will do amazing things in us and through us.
The building that becomes a church is not why we will gather for this once-to-happen and never-to-be-repeated worship service. We will pray the church building allows us to consecrate ourselves better than an office condominium and public schools ever could so that we can better be the church: wherever, whenever, to whoever.
I invite you to come and experience this special moment in the life of The Water's Edge.

Level Up Your Kitchen Game With These Two Simple Supplies
If someone were to ask you what your crucial, go-to, stranded-on-a-desert-island cooking gear includes, how would you reply?
Would you mention a chef's knife and cutting board? How about a large sauté pan and a flat-edged wood spoon, or a large, nonreactive heatproof bowl? (Incidentally, these are Michael Ruhlman's top five in his fantastic comprehensive guide The Elements of Cooking.)
What if I were to add that the addition of two inexpensive pieces of equipment can dramatically level up your cooking game, and that you could actually get these at an office supply store?
Masking Tape and a Permanent Marker
That's right, tape and a marker.
A home cook isn't just a cook; they also function as the garde manger in Auguste Escoffier's (1846–1935) famous brigade system that gave us the divisions of labor that professional kitchens still use today. One of the garde manger's duties then, as now, was managing food storage—translated literally, it means "food guard"—which was all the more crucial in the days before refrigeration.
It's just as important now, though. See, labeling the food in your fridge isn't just for stereotypical hyper moms leaving their stereotypical clueless husbands at home with the kids for a few days. Think about it: containers of unidentified leftovers, just one step away from self-propelled locomotion, are only funny for endearing ne'er-do-wells on sitcoms, not in real life.
If you're like me and you enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day—and I'd argue that many dishes are better the next day because their ingredients have been given a chance to marry together during the cooling process—you're not always going to remember what's in those containers or how old its ingredients are, and you're not always going to be inclined to pull out the container to check.
It's not just about leftovers, either. The cool thing about labeling the food in your fridge is that it allows you to emulate the efficiency of the prep cook station at pro kitchens and cook ingredients ahead of time. This is how I first discovered that the little pocket off to the side of chef coats hold not only small thermometers, but also permanent markers.
Got a bunch of sweet potatoes but you're not entirely sure what to do with them? Roast 'em now and toss 'em, jackets and all, in a labeled container for later, whether for sweet potato gnocchi, sweet potato biscuits, a sweet potato spin on shepherd's pie, or simply a side of mashed sweet potatoes. I can't tell you how many times I've made frittatas for breakfast incorporating chopped-up ingredients from the past few days' worth of dinners—grilled bratwurst, roasted broccoli, sautéed onions, you name it.
Finally, labeling isn't just for containers of cooked food! I'll often date the lids of containers for condiments that I own but don't use super often, which helps me keep tabs on their age. For example, this Sambal Oelek won't stay good forever, and it's so good that it would a shame to launch it:
A final word:
Any marker will do, but if I had to give a recommendation, I'd go for the Sharpie Industrial. (As of the middle of 2018, they're going for $10 for a 12-pack, which comes out to roughly less than a dollar per marker.) They're originally engineered for factories and labs, so the ink can withstand temps of 500 degrees F. The thing that's impressed me about them is that I've been using the same marker since my last kitchen job in 2010 and it still retains a sharp tip and a rich black line, more so than the original standby Sharpies.
Happy cooking!

No tape for me. I write right on the plastic storage containers. Soap and a scrubby or a swipe of alcohol takes it off. But I use a regular sharpie. Your industrial sharpie may be more permanent. But this is a great help to manage the fridge. If I can only get my newly independent son to believe. 😁

I think detecting the centre of a pad made out of printed ink, or fiducial out of etched copper on the board would be relatively simple to probe for automatically, likewise user drilled vias.
I propose for edge finding of a positive feature to get the user to roughly align the probe with the centre, then:* Probe the point for a height reference* Move sufficiently to the side, based on the gerber data to hit bare board, and then get a height reference for the board.* The probe is advertised as 20um accurate, so either raise up 20um and move inwards towards the pad until the probe activates - or move the probe till it touches the pad and then move in all directions until it "falls off" the pad.* Find centroid of the pad from the touch or fall off data.
I prefer moving from outside in, as pads can have significant variation in height where the "kiss" is in the centre or when it has been printed over multiple times. The edge seems to be more reliable for height.
Likewise, this could be applied to vias, where you would touch off the board, and then drive towards the via until you "fall in", raise the probe and then move to the other sides and drive inwards. Determine centroid from this data.
This would give much more precise positioning of features on the board - be it fiducials or vias for ink deposition, or pads for paste deposition (especially when you have very small pads getting pasted!)
Even if you are pasting a pre-fabricated board with full ground pour/adjacent tracks, I feel the probe tip is fine enough that you would be able to detect the gap between copper layers even with 0.2mm isolation, assuming 32uM copper. I haven't measured the tip diameter to determine this though.
I like this idea for alignment, where there are only 2 points. I'll make a ticket for this.
Automated via filling would be great, and a hole finding algorithm would be critical there. I think the algorithm would need to be smart enough to handle non-circular holes (since we could be dealing with hand drilling).
camera based hole/center finding is another option....i have concerns about handing all the environmental factors we could encounter in the field (reflections, sunlight, etc.).
I dont think non-circular holes would be such a big deal, as long as you know where the centre is you know the needle will be in the hole. Either way you need to approach the hole from at least 4 directions, if you're worried about circularity you could do 6 or 8 approaches to find it more accurately. You'd also be able to see how deep the hole is to determine volume for ink
OpenCV is pretty robust, take a look at what OpenPNP is doing with vision pipelines to get really good results. If ambient light is unreliable, just add LEDS!
Wondering if the probe location could be shown on the screen in relation to the work surface?
Hey @a2retro,
That would be cool, please explain your thinking.
I'd be worried about confusing people during the alignment step. I suspect that some would see the screen and try to move the physical board to match it...also moving the probe during that step would move the on screen probe and the on screen board.

The Chair of the European Affairs Committee, Mr. Domagoj Ivan Milošević and Mr. Joško Klisović, Committee member, participated at the meeting of the Chairpersons of Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs (COSAC), the first event of the parliamentary dimension of Finland's Presidency of the Council of EU.
Croatian parliamentary delegation, representing the upcoming Croatian presidency of the Council of EU, took part in the meeting of the Presidential Troika for the first time. The Troika approved agendas for the LXII plenary COSAC and Chairpersons of COSAC meeting, discussed the inputs received by the Finnish Presidency, and resolved the remaining procedural issues for the purpose of preparing the COSAC meeting.
At the beginning of Chairpersons of COSAC meeting, the minister for European Affairs Mrs. Tytti Tuppurainen presented the priorities of Finland's Presidency of the Council of EU, emphasizing the commitment to environmental protection.
Mr. Domagoj Ivan Milošević welcomed the priorities of the Finnish presidency, in particular the focus on environmental protection and the fight against climate change, underlining that these problems should not be left to future generations. He warned of growing social and economic inequalities in the European Union and stressed the importance of directing sustainable economic growth towards the growth of living standards. He wished the Finnish Presidency success in the work on the new Multiannual Financial Framework, underlining that challenge of internal migration and labor market imbalances should also be addressed.
Member of the European Affairs Committee, Joško Klisović, also participated in the debate on the Multiannual Financial Framework, which was a separate item of the agenda. Mr. Klisović said that budget was the clearest indicator of political priorities, and commented on the statement by the President of France, Mr. Macron, that without the EU consolidation there will be no enlargement, stressing that consolidation is not possible without convergence. In this regard, he underlined the importance of cohesion policy among the priorities of the new Multiannual Financial Framework.
The Chairpersons of COSAC meeting was concluded with the announcement of LXII COSAC meeting, to be held from 1 to 3 December 2019, also in Helsinki.

Islamic Law Expert to Lecture at Perkins March 20, 2014
Perkins Center for Evangelism and Missional Church Studies Welcomes Dr. Mohamed Keshavjee
DALLAS – The Center for Evangelism and Missional Church Studies of Perkins School of Theology will host a lecture by Dr. Mohamed Keshavjee of the Ismaili community in London on Thursday, March 20, at 2:00 p.m., in the Great Hall of Elizabeth Perkins Prothro Hall on the SMU campus. The event is free and open to the community. Dr. Keshavjee will discuss Ismaili understandings of contemporary Shari'a law.
The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in 1977 with the object of promoting scholarship and learning of Muslim cultures and societies, historical as well as contemporary, and a better understanding of their relationship with other societies and faiths.
Dr. Keshavjee's lecture follows two events promoted by the Center: a public viewing of the documentary film "An Islamic Conscience: The Aga Khan and the Ismailis," held March 5 at Perkins, and the Aga Khan's March 11 Stephen Ogden Jr. Lecture on International Affairs at Brown University.
The release of the documentary comes at a time when the Aga Khan's work in international development and peacemaking is receiving renewed attention, according to Dr. Robert Hunt, director of the Center for Evangelism and Missional Church Studies. In addition, the Aga Khan recently addressed both houses of the Canadian Parliament, Dr. Hunt said.
The Center for Evangelism and Missional Church Studies of Perkins School of Theology encourages Christians and Christian communities to engage in fruitful interfaith dialogue with other religious traditions. The Keshavjee lecture, documentary, and Aga Khan lecture are offered as part of its ongoing program to encourage dialogue.
Perkins School of Theology, founded in 1911, is one of five official University-related schools of theology of The United Methodist Church. Degree programs include the Master of Divinity, Master of Sacred Music, Master of Theological Studies, Master of Church Ministries, and Doctor of Ministry, as well as the Ph.D., in cooperation with The Graduate Program in Religious Studies at SMU's Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences.

Introduction: First-person View Roomba Driving
It's fun to drive a Roomba around by remote control. It's even more fun to have a first-person view while doing so. This particular project for me was almost all software development because I already had all the hardware. Here's what you need on the hardware side:
- Roomba 500+ (if you have an older Roomba, you'll have to tweak the code)
- Two Android devices (e.g., a phone and a tablet)
- Bluetooth Roomba adapter (I used a Brainlink set up according to this Instructable)
- A stand for putting an Android device on a Roomba (this can be just a couple of pieces of wood and some rubber bands; Velcro on the stand and the Roomba makes things more convenient).
The idea is that one Android device stands on the Roomba and streams video which is displayed by the other. You can do this with Skype or Google Hangouts, or with a webcam app.
The only problem was how to control the Roomba from the device that was displaying the video. I tried using an xposed module that let me run two windows on the tablet, one with a Roomba remote control app and the other showing the video, but that was a clunky way to do it. So instead I wrote Roodrive (source code here), a simple Roomba Bluetooth remote app that is controlled by swiping in a semi-transparent square on the screen that shows up on top of an app displaying video.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Hardware
Assemble some sort of stand for your device that you can attach to the Roomba. You can make one from a couple of pieces of wood or from some Legos. You can attach it to the Roomba with rubber bands or with a bit of Velcro. Velcro (or some other hook-and-loop fastener) is a bit more convenient. I just attach a phone to it with a rubber band.
Attach a Bluetooth adapter to the Roomba. I used a Brainlink device. You could probably also make a very cheap adapter from an HC-06, a voltage regulator and a miniDIN-8 plug. For convenience, I had drilled a hole through the Roomba's faceplate to attach to the Roomba's UART port. You could also just take off the faceplate.
Step 2: Video Software
One option is to use IP Webcam or similar app on the device attached to the Roomba and a webcam viewer app like tinyCam Monitor on the other device. I suggest turning down the resolution and the frame-rate for maximum responsiveness. A nice thing about the IP Webcam / tinyCam setup is that you can remotely trigger the flash on the device on the Roomba, which creates a nice headlight for going in the dark.
The other option is to run Google Hangouts or Skype on the two devices, with different accounts. This lets you drive the Roomba up to people and talk with them, making a rudimentary telepresence robot (severely limited by Bluetooth--but one could rewrite my Roodrive software to work via tcp/ip and use a WiFi adapter on the Roomba).
Make sure you can see the video from the Roomba.
Step 3: Bluetooth Control
Pair your Roomba's Bluetooth adapter with the device you're using as your remote control.
Turn on your Roomba
Download and run Roodrive.
Select your Bluetooth adapter in Roodrive.
Press "Connect". If all goes well, you get a little semitransparent square (which you can move by touching and move the upper left corner, and resize by using two fingers one of which is on the upper left corner) which you can use to control the Roomba. That square will show on top of other apps. Make sure you can control the Roomba by swiping on the square.
Go back to the app showing the video from the other device. You can now drive with first-person view.
Step 4: Software Development Notes
If you want to write your own software for controlling the Roomba 500+, the crucial documentation is here.
To connect, send a 128 byte to the Bluetooth device that is connected to the Roomba. This puts the Roomba in passive mode. To accept movement commands send 131, which puts the Roomba in safe mode (so it won't drive off stairs, or drive away while plugged in, etc.)
Then you drive the Roomba with the high-level 137 command, where you specify speed and turning radius, or the somewhat lower level 145 command, where you specify individual wheel velocities. See the documentation for details or look at Roodrive.java in my source code. In Roodrive, I use 137 for straight driving (swiping up or down) and for straight turning (swiping left or right) and 145 if the user wants to drive and turn at the same time. It's all pretty straightforward.
Here's a note you might find useful if developing your own software: As you drive your Roomba around, there is a good chance you'll drive over something which will activate the cliff sensors. If it's in safe mode, the Roomba will immediately exit safe mode and go to passive mode, and ignore all movement commands. So in Roodrive, each time the user touched the control area to make a movement, at the beginning of the touch I started off by sending the 128, 131 bytes to put the Roomba in safe mode again before sending any of the actual drive commands. Thus, if you run the Roomba to a dangerous location with you finger on the control area, it'll stop moving. But it'll wake up again when you take your finger off and touch the control area again.
As a bonus, if you turn off the Roomba while you're connected to it and then turn it back on, this will mean you don't need to disconnect and reconnect, as long as your Bluetooth adapter stays connected to the device you're using as your remote.

This time I have taken the HEALING HAND to another dimension. REALLY! This is 3+ life size and .875" deep.
The frame is routed with a quote from famed naturalist Ansel Adams… "THE POWER OF IMAGINATION MAKES US INFINITE". This really resounded with me when I considered the scale of the hand to the topology. Almost as if there was some astronomical relationship.
The contrast of the smooth perimeter of just the grain as texture was intentionally left smooth and sealed with with 5 layers of Polyurethane while the hand-topology is finished with only rubbed on wax. The same wood reveals two personalities. The Frame is Oak stained with Jocoba and routed to reveal the original oak color. This too is finished with wax.
The carving of the hand took about 35 hours and the total time with frame and finishing is about 80 hours total. The inlay of the Turquoise, which represents separation of land by a water feature, took some considerable decision time. I had three options which required 3 different processes to set in place. I chose the least impact and set the stones with Duco Cement. It's clear, smooth and is quick setting.
I have also used my signature brand to sign the piece. I found a quick way to get the brand to temperature and celebrate with a BBQ upon completion once the coals have done their job. A built in a beveled hanger accomodates the weight and also doubles for structure tying the two halves and glued pegs.
The basic concept was to maximize the compucarve router and book match two pieces of Beechwood to incorporate the whole piece into a much larger whole allowing me to continue my experimentation with Human-Topography.
I'd appreciate your comments and criticisms'. Thanks for watching.

Our facility (hospital) is working on documentation and other issues in order to be able to charge for critical care. However there is a difference of opinion on the interpretation of the definition of critical care in the CPT book. The minority opinion is that the critical nature of the patient (impairment of one or more vital organ systems) must be a proven fact by the time the patient is discharged to even be able to consider critical care. The majority opinion is that the impairment can be a possibility. For example, a patient comes in with chest pain and is worked up for possible MI. If he is proven to have an MI and all other critieria are met we could charge for critical care (minority opinion). However if it turns out to be GERD, we could also charge for critical care (majority opinion) because the impairment was a possibility and resources were expended on that basis. I am in the minority group and don't see how the CPT book can be interpreted any other way. But if I'm wrong I need to know. Any help any one can give, either way will be greatly appreciated.

By Hannah Eisenberg - March 03, 2014
Gartner, a leading market research company, published an interesting report today stating that the worldwide tablet sales grew by 68% to 195.4 million units sold in 2013 alone.
The other interesting point is that Android tablets blew iOS tablets out of the water. While Apple iPad sales still continue to grow, their overall market share declined to 36% in 2013. Android basically owns the rest of the market with 62% market share, according to Gartner, Inc.
The reasons are the vast amount of small-screen options as well as first-time buyers making the jump to tablets. Formerly an expensive nice-to-have gadget is now within the budget of many consumers while still offering adequate specifications.
Now that the tablet market becomes commoditized, Android has to offer more that better hardware and lower costs. The focus needs to become the apps ecosystem. But Android does not need to worry - it is by far the most popular platform: 80% of developers publish Android apps according to the State of the Apps Industry Snapshot by Millennial Media.
While tablets are not primarily used for internet browsing, Androids are a catalyst for Google apps. But they are for many a gateway to more online time through applications and mobile internet browsing requires responsive web design.

It is about time that we crack the whip and talk about what really matters... business. Business fuels the economy. It gives life to those people who wake up early and don crisp suits and drink black coffee. I mean, look where it got Donald Trump. Don't let anyone tell you that studying business is a bad idea — I don't think anyone ever regrets learning about fun things like economics, finance, or accountancy! There are just oodles of fun to be had in business and The New News is going to analyse the latest business trends in cohesion with industry professionals and provide insightful knowledge about the stock markets and Wall Street and all things business! It is time to dig up the hoards of gold you have in your backyard and invest them back into our failing economy.
Nothing puts a smile on my face more than the stock markets. They are so enchanting and pretty and constantly make people happy. For example, The New News recently invested millions in an off-shore fake-afro manufacturer — with the popularity of the Colin Kaepernick/Nike advert we are sure that kids all over the world will be asking their parents for afros. This is the sort of business venture we encourage. High-risk/little, to no reward. The thing is, it's a great conversation starter, as well as a good way to dispose of your income. You always hear people talking about disposable income—what better way to throw it away than invest in a silly company. Moving on, a huge increase in the sale and supply of LIGMA has been gripping the European Union. The flow of LIGMA throughout European nations has increased by 690 per cent. This means that there is so much LIGMA in Europe, that even the Queen of England is buying shares. The producers of LIGMA, SUGMA Inc., is choosing to remain silent about the matter and attribute their huge success to the popularity of their product.
Who remembers Bitcoin? Yeah, it's still around — not too much to say there. You either struck gold or remained oblivious — like the ending of Shutter Island. Anyway, the problem with crypto currency is that you can't make them rain over a stripper. Nor can you snort lines of... crypto currency is great! Invest now.
I certainly hope that everyone saw Elon Musk smoking pot on a live web show. If you didn't, be sure to check out an actual news source for the video. For our business newcomers, Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla Motors. Tesla makes cars. Cars are what humans use to transport themselves around the planet. The planet is the big round thing on which we live. To live is to smoke pot on a live web show with Joe Rogan... It always amazes me to see how the universe has a way of doing full circles. Anyway, Tesla stocks have been dropping following the interview because Musk's behaviour has been labelled as "pretty gnarly" and "too loose, bro". Even though Tesla is rather new-aged and forward in their thinking, legally smoking weed on camera is apparently where they draw the line. It is funny to think that people are upset about Musk's behaviour when Ricardo Alvarez, Ecopetrol's CEO, had his own run in with the media just the other day. Ecopetrol is Colombia's biggest petroleum company and one of the 25 biggest petroleum companies in the world. Last week, Alvarez excused himself from an interview due to "tiredness," returning to the interview minutes later with blood-shot eyes and a dusting of white powder under his nose. When asked about it, he replied, "I smelled freshly baked cupcakes out in the foyer and had to get some. So, what if I got a little icing sugar on my nose. Wanna fight about it?" It was clearly not icing powder, nor were the cupcakes worth a trip to Colombia. Despite all this controversy, the conclusion remains simple; why do we care so much about this useless and over-dramatic news when there are clearly more important things to be doing with our time. The New News abates. The world is silly.
The final thing that we want to talk about is the impact that social media has on business. Advertising and marketing has become increasingly simple. Whack something up online, advertise on Facebook, and the rest is history. Pictures and videos circulate the globe via the internet faster than Elon Musk hits a joint on national television. Drop something controversial into your post, and it spreads even faster! A case study we can look at is how Coca-Cola recently started hiring underpaid, and under-aged workers in anonymous countries in order to up sell and market their product. The new line of Coke drinks labelled Coke SL, or Coke So Lush, has been openly marketed as a product that is made in unfavourable conditions in order to cut costs. The problem with the world is that because it has gained so much heat in the press, Coke sales have increased by 22 per cent in just two days. Furthermore, many people are switching to Coke SL because it has a unique, and rather addictive "cheap" taste. Some are calling it Pepsi, because it tastes so cheap, and others are calling it Coke Slave Labour, not Coke SL. What do we do about this? Surely the entire country of New Zealand boycotts Coke and refuses to buy their product. However, that would probably mean the downfall of L&P... And that could lead to a decline in the tourism industry in New Zealand... Seems that we are caught between a giant L&P bottle and a hard place. Sheesh. Business sucks.

Latest cryptocurrency news suggests that Facebook, the social media giant, has decided to onboard two compliance experts. These experts are ex-employees of Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange in the United States.
One of the experts, Mikheil Moucharrafie, previously worked with Coinbase for nearly four years prior to becoming Facebook's compliance officer. While at the crypto exchange, Moucharrafie held a number of positions, including anti-money laundering (AML)/bank secrecy investigator, support analyst, quality assurance tester, risk manager and compliance manager.
The other expert, Jeff Cartwright, spent almost five years working at CoinBase in the following roles: compliance manager, director of regulatory risk and exams, and head of internal audit. Before coming to work for this exchange, Cartwright also worked as an AML compliance investigator at Goldman Sachs and AML consultant at KPMG. Now, he has become a policy and compliance manager at Facebook.
The hiring of Cartwright and Moucharrafie will make the company look good in the public eyes as well as regulatory authorities' books.
Owing to the rumored cryptocurrency launch, Facebook has consistently been hiring Paypal staff. The company began this mission last year when it onboarded dedicated blockchain staff, under the auspices of a former PayPal president David Marcus. Now, the "PayPal Mafia" — the early 2000s executive group — has formed 20% of the team's 50 members.
In that same month of March, five new positions were created in Facebook's HQ blockchain department located in Menlo Park, California. The professionals that were sought to be part of its blockchain team entail a product manager, growth product manager, business operations manager, software engineer, and data scientist.
Rumors have been flying around recently the Facebook has already gotten the "Libra" trademark rights and intends to use it for its super-secret cryptocurrency initiative. Expressly, a reliable source has confirmed that Facebook wants to recruit some financial firms, which it earlier had discussions with them, in its own crypto development project whose code-name is Libra.

I think everyone deserves a chance to feel better. I work with individuals, couples, families, adolescents and groups. My office door is open to everyone. One of my specialties is working with people in the "creative community" as I have spent 30 years in the entertainment industry, working on everything from feature films to Emmy Award-winning television. See the Creative Community page for more information.
When I was young I was torn between the film industry and psychology. I chose the film industry and enjoyed 30 years of working on projects I only dreamed about and worked with people I hoped to meet. I always said to myself that when the day came that I felt I had my fill of the film industry, I would shift gears and get my degree in clinical psychology and work as a psychotherapist. Well that day came and years later here I am and here you are.

Fun day
I'm so tired of Ella waking up early, it's driving me nuts!!! I got used to sleeping until 10. I knew it was too good to be true. We got out of bed at 8:45 again. Ugh. After breakfast and Baby Einstein, because she said, "please e-i-e-i-o!" we did toddler yoga. I got a dvd 2 months ago that I've been too lazy to do. And I keep telling myself to do it, so we did. It was a lot of fun and gave me energy. It's something we will have to do once or twice a week. After nap time, Morgan called and asked if we wanted to meet her for lunch. Ella had already eaten, but I hadn't. So we met her at the mall. We went by Gap to see if they had any cute shorts, but nothing my size. I never have any luck at that Gap. Then we stopped by Build-A-Bear to check out prices. I want to build a triceratop's for Ella's 18 month b-day. Then every 1/2 birthday go get some accessory or outfit for it as a mini b-day. I saw the triceratop's 5 months ago and knew it was the one. They only had 2 left, so I called mom and asked her what I should do. She said get it and go back to do the whole ordeal. So I did and am very happy with my decision since I looked online and they don't have it there anymore. I think it'll be discontinued since they are coming out with a T-rex in 2 weeks. After the mall we went to the park to play. I was happy it was 80 degree weather, but man it got hot! We stayed 45 minutes and I couldn't take it any longer. Ella just wanted to chase this little dog around, so I wasn't sad taking her away. We haven't done much since. I got really bummed out by an email from Ella's gymboree teacher Sarah. Tomorrow is her last day. :( I really don't like any of the other teachers, so we might have to drop out. I've paid until December, so I hope they will refund me if we do decide to leave. We'll go next week and try out the teacher and then decide. But no one can ever replace Sarah!! She is amazing. But we're friends, so it's not like its the last time I'll ever see her. Hope everyone is having a great week!

I have no premonitions of dying anytime soon, but since so many folks I have known, or known of with a place in my life, are dropping like flies, I thought I would write my obituary so it reflects what I want to be known about me. Aimee, you can print this out when you need it.
Stepp, Carolyn Sue Henze, was born on December 4, 1940, around 5 p.m. in the afternoon at Dr. White's Maternity Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her parents were Charles Frederick Henze and Beulah Beatrice Pitman, who preceded her in death. She had one sister with both parents, Patricia Claire Henze Schmidt, who predeceased her in 2013. She also has had sisters and brothers through step-parents, and had three daughters, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. There are nieces and and a nephew, and their children who form the rest of her family.
Carolyn was born when London was in flames, was a year old when the United States became involved in World War II, and her life has been somewhat war- and fire-filled ever since. She graduated from high school in Corpus Christi, Texas, Roy Miller High School, in 1958, where she was a member of the marching band, the Battling Bucs. After graduation, she went to Las Vegas to live with her father, and shortened her name to Carol. She lived a rather flamboyant life out there, marrying and divorcing twice before she was 24, worked in casinos and on a dude ranch. She was a member of the Paradise Valley Saddle Association and the Nevada State Horsemen's Association in her latter years out there, riding horses and living the country-style life. She also sang with a country-western band for a short time during the years 1962-63, but was never famous, though she hung out with a few famous people around then. She gave birth to two of her daughters while living out there.
In 1964, she returned to Corpus Christi, after a bad patch with her father and step-mother, and spent the crazy years from 1964-1971 involved in the drinking scene, managed a merchant seamen's bar in Corpus Christi during 1965-1967, when she gave birth to her third daughter, and did some traveling to places like Biloxi, MS, and Wichita Falls, TX. When she woke up in shock and realized she had turned 30, she decided to try and live a more normal life. She was truly impacted by the war in Vietnam, losing some friends, being turned off by the horror, and wanting to find some stability, since she was still alive. She wore a POW bracelet from 1970 until 1985, when the remains of her service man were returned to America.
In 1974 she took a job which brought her to Austin, TX, in 1975, where she lived until her death. She was employed in Administrative work until her early retirement 2003, and she spent her final years living on her social security, aided by living in City-assisted housing, where she settled down with her cats, and although she served on the Board of Directors for the apartment complex, she really settled into a mostly lazy life. She was able to reconcile with her father in 1982, and remained fast friends with him until his death in 1984. She considered herself lucky.
Carol was never a very domesticate person. She had no interest in marriage, did not raise her children, and would just as soon hire someone to clean her house instead of doing it herself. But she had passions: She loved fine art, music, science fiction, cooking, her Celtic-heritage spirituality, and her cats. She gave money to fund an Art Museum (Corpus Christi, TX), choral groups (Las Vegas, NV; Austin, TX); a number of organizations she belonged to for both business and pleasure; NPR television and radio stations, and even produced a couple of radio shows for a true public-funded radio station in Austin, TX; and the Democratic Party, of which she was an ultra-liberal Socialist Democrat. She was particularly fond of Impressionist art, and was somewhat creative in her own right. Her morals were sometimes looked at askance by outsiders, but Carol pretty much lived by both the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, though she did not consider herself a christian.
Carol has never fancied herself as a "politcally-correct" person; she had no problems speaking her mind about everything from war to feminist subjects to tolerance and compassion. She proudly called people of all races and nationalities and genders friends throughout her life, always expected equal rights for herself (though she never made the money she should have), and generally fought battles that had to be fought over and over. She was a sucker more than once because she gave people the benefit of the doubt, and in her later years, had to cut back on what she could just give money-wise to others. But she never wanted to stop helping.
She also believe all wars should be fought with swords, saying that one should always have to look the person they were planning to kill in the eye. Her biggest bugaboos were liars and frauds and thieves.
Carol plans to be cremated and her ashes thrown upon flowing water that goes down to the sea.

A to Z of Ramadan
The Obligation of Fasting
It is only when Allah (swt) revealed the Ayah, "O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that they may learn self restraint", (2: 183) fasting was made obligatory.
Another Ayah that emphasizes this obligation is: "Ramadan is the month in which we sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and Judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during the month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; he dose not want to put you difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and glorify Him in that he has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful". (2: 185)
Was there any fasting before fasting in Ramadan became an obligation question?
The Messenger (saw) used to fast in the day of Ashura when he was in Mecca, as narrated by Bukhari. Then he continued fasting and ordered the Muslims to fast in Al-Medina. He later on made it as merely (Mandub) rather than an obligation (fard). Also, Imam Ahmed in his Musnad narrated that the messenger (saw) used to fast three days in every month upon arriving in Al-Medina.
The Reward for Fasting:
Since fasting is an act of worship between the slave and the creator and no one knows about it but Allah, the reward is not as any reward for normal acts of worship. The only one who knows about the reward is Allah (swt). The Messenger (saw) says, telling about Allah, "Every act taken by the son of Adam is done for him except fasting, it is for me and I make the reward", (Bukhari)
Fasting stops the Muslim from Sinning:
Fasting is a shield that protects the fasting person form sinning. Disobeying and bad language. The messenger of Allah (saw) says, "Fasting is a shield. Thus while fasting you must not use foul language or act like those of ignorance (screaming, attacking others, etc), or speak loudly". (Bukhari)
Furthermore, fasting Muslim is ordered not to retaliate if someone hurts him. The Messenger (saw) says, "And if somebody fights him or curses him he Should say, I fasting twice". ( Bukhari)
The smell of the Fasting persons mouth:
It is strange that the smell of the mouth of the person who is fasting is disliked by the people but greatly liked by Allah(swt). Bukhari Narrates that the Messenger(saw) said: "By the one who has my soul in his hands, the smell of the mouth of the fasting person is better for Allah than the smell of musk".
Special Gate in Al-Jannah for those who Fast:
Allah(swt) blesses those who fast and honors them, so much that He made a special gate in Al-Jannah. No one else uses this gate but them. The Messenger of Allah (saw) says, " There is a gate in Al-Jannah called Ar-Rayyan which those who fast enter from on the day of judgment. And no one else enters from it. Once they enter from it, it is closed, and nobody else enters from it." (Bukhari)
In Ramadan Gates of Goodness are Open and Gates of Evil are Closed:
For sure, the month of Ramadan is the best of months. Worship in this month is more rewarding than in other months. Upon the arrival of the month,
" The gates of Jannah and the Heavens are opened. The gates of hell are closed and devils are chained. " (Bukhari)
Chaining the devils means stopping the source of evil. Thus, it is no wonder that many people return to Allah in this month after going astray.
Due to Fasting Previous Sins Are Forgiven:
It is enough incentive for the Muslims to hear the following hadith to rush into obedience of Allah, "Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan purely because of his faith and sincerity all of his/her previous sins will be forgiven."
Forgiveness has two conditions:
We have to pay close attention to the saying of the Messenger (saw), " Purely because of faith and sincerity." It is those two conditions that differentiate between a regular habit and an act of worship. Thus, the one who fasts as a matter of habit or without sincerity, his/her fasting will no good. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Whosoever does not saying and acting upon falsehood, Allah is in no need for him/her to abandon his/her food " (Bukhari).
On the other hand, there is glad tidings for those who fast out of sincerity. The Messenger (saws) said, "There are two occasions for the fasting person where he/she will be happy. He/she will be happy when breaking the fast and will be happy, when he/she meets his/her lord." (Bukhari)
The Intention is A Requirement for Fasting.
The intention is, indeed, differentiates an act of worship from an act of habit or an accident. For example, the person who abstains from eating, drinking, and sexual intercourse from Fajr till sunset for health reasons rather than for worshipping Allah the supreme is not considered to be fasting not Islamically and consequently will not be rewarded by Allah (swt). Therefor, the person who wants to fast must have the pure intention for doing that action only to please Allah (swt). Contrary, to the common misunder-standing, the intention need not be said by the tongue, for the intention is act of the heart. Moreover, the intention must be settled in the heart before Fajr. Al-Tirmithi and An-Nas'i narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Who does not intend to fast from nighttime, he/she has no fast (not accepted)." So the heart must be set on fasting the next day. Waking up for suhur is also sufficient to be considered as an intention.
There Is Blessing in suhur:
Surely, Suhur is sunnah. The Messenger (saw) said, " have Suhur, for in suhur there is blessing. " (Muslim)
It is also preferred to delay Suhur for the saying of the Messenger (saw), "my Ummah will be in good condition as long as they delay Suhur and rush in breaking fast" (Ahmed). In addition, Suhur is what differentiates our fast from that of the people of the book. The Prophet (saw) said, " the difference between our fast and that of the people of the book is the meal of Suhur." (Muslim).
The Best Things To Keep Us Busy In Ramadan:
Once the fasting Muslim has just left his/her food and drink for the sake of Allah (swt) prohibited. So he/she would not curse, use foul language, harm people , talk nonsense, etc. Thus, the best the fasting person should keep him/herself busy with is the remembrance of Allah, attend sessions of knowledge, read Quran, and spend in the path of Allah, etc.
It is only the sickness, that fasting will delay its recovery or worsen it, that permits the person to break the fast. But, the one that is not affected by the fast is not a legitimate excuse. Also it is the allowed kind of travel that breaking fast is allowed in not the haram one.
Fasting In Modern Transportation:
Some might think it is better not to break fast nowadays when travelling is easier. For those we recite the Ayah, "And your lord is not forgetful." The Islamic laws are for all times and all places and they are put by the most knowledgeable about the past, present and future. Therefore, we can not make rules our minds and desires while we have a clear and true guidance from Allah.
The Menstruation and the Post-Childbirth Bleeding:
Women in either of these conditions are obligated to break fast until they become pure again. The Messenger (swt)said,
"Is it not that she does not fast nor pray during her menstruation period?" (Bukhari). They should make up for the missed days of fasting after Ramadan.
The Pregnant and the Breast Feeding Women:
If a women is pregnant or breast feeds and she thinks she or her baby will suffer if she fasts, or she merely feels hardship in fasting, then she can break fast, but must make up the missed days. The Messenger of Allah (swt) said, "Allah takes away half of the salah from the traveler, the breast feeding women and the pregnant women ". (Abu Dawud).
The Elderly and the Incurable sick:
Both cases are in the category of the sick, except the elderly and the incurable do not have to make up the days that they have missed, for they are unable to do so, Nonetheless, they have to feed one poor person as Bukhari narrated about the action of Anas.
The fasting of Children and Teaching Them Manners:
It is a fact only those who are above the age of puberty and sane are addressed by Shari'ah. It is important, however, for the parents to take care of their children from an early age, rise them to be able to live Islamically, to love the rules of Islam, and to be consistent in performing them. The Messenger (swt) said, "Order your children to pray when they are seven years of age, beat them for it when they are ten years of age, and separate them in their beds".(Abu Daud).
The Messenger of Allah (swt) and his companions used to do that. And Prophet Mohammed (swt) saw the children eating improperly, with him, he told the boy, "Boy! Say in the name of Allah (Bismillah), eat with your right hand, and eat from that which is in front of you". The effect of this lesson on this lesson on this little child lasted all his life. Bukhari narrated that the child said, "I have been eating as he ordered me since". Also Bukhari narrates that Ar-rabiia, the daughter of muawath (Raa) said, "We used to make our children fast and make their toys out of wool. If any of them cried because of hunger, we would give them toy till the time to breakfast".
O, Muslims your children are trust which you will be questioned for. Teach them Islam, let them know that Allah and his Messenger, teach them to pray and fast and get them used to doing it properly. Teach them Quran, to read it and understand it. Make sure that they are in a relationship with Allah. That is not only good for them, but it is better and good for you in this life and hereafter. "O Believers, protect yourselves and your families from the hell fire which has humans and stones as its fuel".
Abu Huraira said, "I heard the messenger of Allah (saw) say, "The one who does qiam in Ramadan with faith and sincerity, all his or her sins will be forgiven".
May Allah azza wajaal accept our Siyaam, Salah, Nawafil, Taraweeh, Adhkar, Sadakat, and all efforts by helping others inshAllah
