#BiWeek celebrates bisexual people and bisexuality from September 19-26, 2016. #BannedBooksWeek celebrates your freedom to read any book you like — no matter who thinks you shouldn't be reading it at all — from September 25-October 1, 2016. And given that the teen book review magazine VOYA came under fire this past week for recommending that a particular book be restricted to only 11th and 12th grade readers because of a character's bisexuality, September 25 is the perfect day to highlight a few of my favorite bi characters!
Let's start with the brand-new book that's at the heart of the VOYA blowup, Run by Kody Keplinger.
Bo Dickinson is a girl with a wild reputation, a deadbeat dad, and a mama who's not exactly sober most of the time. Agnes Atwood has never gone on a date, never even stayed out past ten, and never broken any of her parents' overbearing that are meant to protect their legally blind daughter—protect her from what, Agnes isn't quite sure. Despite everything, Bo and Agnes become best friends. So when Bo shows up with police sirens wailing in the distance, Agnes doesn't hesitate to take off with her. But running away and not getting caught will require stealing a car, tracking down Bo's dad, and confronting some ugly secrets.
If you want to know more about the VOYA thing, BisexualBooks.com has a great series of write-ups on the VOYA shenanigans — start here. Then check out part 2, part 3, and part 4 before heading to the VOYA tag to see what the latest news is.
But what other great books do we have in The Vault featuring bi characters? One of my personal favorites is Not Otherwise Specified by Hannah Moskowitz.
Etta is tired of dealing with all of the labels and categories that seem so important to everyone else in her small Nebraska hometown. Everywhere she turns, someone feels she's too fringe for the fringe. Not gay enough for the Dykes, not tiny and white enough for ballet, and not sick enough to look anorexic. Etta doesn't fit anywhere— until she meets Bianca, the straight, white, Christian, and seriously sick girl in Etta's therapy group. Both girls are auditioning for Brentwood, a prestigious New York theater academy. Bianca seems like Etta's salvation, but how can Etta be saved by a girl who needs saving herself?
But maybe contemporary teen drama isn't your thing. How about some sci-fi suspense? Adaptation by Malinda Lo is for you.
Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into airplanes, causing thousands of deaths. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all flights. Millions of travelers are stranded. Reese and her longtime crush David are in Arizona when it happens. On their drive home to San Francisco, along a stretch of empty highway at night, a bird flies into their headlights. The car flips over. When they wake up in a military hospital, the doctor won't tell them anything about what happened. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an entirely new direction—and threatens to expose a vast global conspiracy.
Bonus: all three of these authors are themselves queer! When you read these books, you're not just reading about bi characters, you're supporting authentic stories of diversity by diverse voices.
Finding books with bisexual characters can be difficult, so don't hesitate to ask Vault staff if you want to read more than just these three titles. We'd be happy to help connect you with the titles you want to read. And if you know of great bi books that we don't own, let us know! We will do our best to add them to our collection.
And don't miss our #BannedBooksWeek activities after school in The Vault all this week to celebrate your freedom to read whatever you want, no matter what grade you're in!

Lemon and Almond Cake
Serves approx. 10 ~ Wheat-free and grain-free
I used to absolutely love Lemon Drizzle cake, and this zingy, light and moist cake is the healthier alternative that I came up with to satisfy my cravings. The lemon and almond cake is made with coconut sugar, an unrefined form of sugar that is much higher in nutrients, such as magnesium, zinc and iron, than regular sugar. I've also used ground almonds instead of flour, which gives it a texture similar to that of polenta, but is completely grain and gluten-free.
I love to serve it with this a sweet lemon-infused yoghurt and fresh raspberries.

Hands On With Adobe Flash 10 Beta
On Thursday, Adobe Systems made publicly available a pre-release version of the next generation of its browser plug-in software, Flash Player 10.
Flash is the most widespread web browser-enhancing software, installed in 98 percent of browsers, according to company representatives. The new version, code-named "Astro," can be downloaded from the Adobe Labs site.
Astro adds new capabilities for developers such as custom filters and effects, native 3D transformation and animation, extensible rich text layout, and GPU hardware acceleration. The beta download is available for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Mac OS X, and Linux. As with all beta releases, the software is not intended for general use, but for web developers to test their applications and provide feedback to the company.
This is the first version of Flash that allows developers to create these custom filters and effects and combine them with native Flash effects. "For over ten years Adobe has pushed the limits of creativity and redefined rich interactive Web experiences with Adobe Flash Player We believe this beta release of Adobe Flash Player 10 raises the bar once again," said David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president of the Platform Business Unit at Adobe.
Text and layout is another focus of the new release. It will allow control over font attributes like anti-aliasing, rotation, style, and ligatures. In text layout, vertical, bi-directional and right-to-left choices will mean rich internet applications can be built for more languages and eBooks and online publications can be made to look more attractive.
Flash has come a long way from its simple start as a vector-graphics-player plugin. Flash 9 added powerful video playing capabilities, and Adobe is hoping that the 3D horsepower in version 10 will further transform the web browser, making possible immersive, cinematic web viewing experiences.
We installed the new plugin on a Windows XP system to test out the new features. You can either download an ActiveX control (required for Internet Explorer) or a generic plugin for Windows; we tried both, so that we could test in Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. Both weigh in at about 1.8 Mbytes. Installing the beta version necessitates uninstalling previous versions of Flash. Setup is a one-step operation after download; simply run the installer, and you'll get a "Completed" messagenothing to fill in, no options. Adobe is making this as easy as possible to get the most possible installations.
I checked out a few sites I like that use Flash. The first, box.net, worked just fine, as did another of my favorites, Meebo. One of the biggest users of Flash, YouTube, also looked sharp and smooth, as did the high-definition content on Vimeo. In face, Adobe Labs claims that the new plugin can automatically adjust to network traffic problems to avoid stop and start video, and my testing seemed to bear this out.
Next, I checked out the Flash 10 demos Adobe Labs has made available. Most of these show off the software's ability to use the PC's graphics hardware for producing 3D effects, including GPU compositing and surfacing. The demos here were mostly videos of programmers showing how to use the new capabilities, but Pixel Bender is a live app using the technology. This shows portable filters, blend modes, and fills, which can even be animated at runtime. Some of the effects, such as Twirl and Crystallize, were pretty interesting, especially when applied to video. Oddly, after viewing the last demo option, the button interface stopped workingbeta is still beta, after all.
Our advice to consumers is to wait for a more final release before making the switch, as some sites you like may not work properly. But based on our experience with the beta, the effects and capabilities will be well worth the upgrade when the software is finally released.

10 out of 10 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? good results with direct sow
What are the cons? slow to ripen
Directly sown into ground so it took awhile for plant to grow and produce fruit but once they got started the plants grew huge with multiple melons per plant. I had to rip out several to make room for the others as they got bigger. Fruit took awhile to ripen but it was absolutely delicious and beautiful color.

It has always been my ambition to create great schools and colleges so that, all young people have the very best opportunities to be successful in life.
Luton (PRWEB UK) 15 November 2012
Barnfield Federation Chief Executive Pete Birkett has been honoured in the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Birthday Honours List.
The pioneering education supremo was recognised with a knighthood for outstanding service to further education and the academy movement.
Sir Peter Birkett, who is also founder and chairman of the Barnfield Education Partnership Trust, has said he is "humbled" by the prestigious accolade.
He said: "I am extremely privileged and excited to receive such an honour, it was both a wonderful surprise and also a real shock! It has always been my ambition to create great schools and colleges so that, all young people have the very best opportunities to be successful in life. I believe there is no excuse for failure and it's wonderful to see the excellent results being achieved within the Federation. Seeing education and training change lives is the most rewarding element for me. I am humbled to be given this esteemed public recognition."
The honour is richly deserved. In September 2007 - led by Sir Peter - Barnfield broke new ground by becoming the first Further Education College in the country to sponsor two significantly underperforming secondary schools, create academies and form a federation.
Since this point GCSE results have more than quadrupled in both academies and from a position of special measures, they are now judged as 'outstanding' and 'good' by Ofsted. These are the highest grades achieved in their lifetime as schools.
Barnfield again made history in 2010 by opening the UK's first 14 – 18 studio school, Barnfield Skills Academy, and again in 2011 when converting a primary fee-paying school into a Free School. In September 2011 our studio school was graded by Ofsted (section 8) as making outstanding progress.
Sir Peter is also the only Further Education College Chief Executive to be awarded National Leader in Education (NLE) status.

The Trust Sponsored Professional Liability Insurance Policy covers psychologists in the legitimate practice of psychology for bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury, and limited property damage. The policy also includes supplemental protection for employment practices liability, defense reimbursement for licensing board complaints, and no-fault medical.
The policy includes numerous important protections, including the following:
The policy covers the named insured for the "practice of psychology." The policy does not contain a definition of the "practice of psychology." Insurance policies can only limit the meaning of words or phrases defined within the policy. Terms not defined in an insurance policy are defined by their standard usage. Each state has a licensing law that defines the practice of psychology for that jurisdiction. If your state's 'scope of practice' laws allow you to perform a service as a psychologist or they do not restrict a particular area of practice, you are covered. Most states license psychologists and define clinical practice. Sub-groups, such as the 55 divisions of APA, define some specializations in psychology. Some forms of psychology do not require licensure. These include Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Consumer Psychology, and Consulting Psychology.
No. The Trust Sponsored Professional Liability Policy covers Consultants (including those providing coaching services), Industrial & Organizational Psychologists, Media Psychologists, Forensic Practice (including custody evaluators), Parent Coordinating, Mediation, Hypnosis Therapy, Psychoanalysts, and even those researching new forms of treatment. The policy covers psychologists serving on ethics, peer review, licensing, and academic boards. The Trust does not limit psychologists from providing legitimate forms of psychological practice.
A psychologist has attained a doctoral degree in the field of psychology or is licensed as a psychologist. The three most common degrees are a philosophy doctorate (Ph.D.), a psychology doctorate (Psy.D.), and an education doctorate (Ed.D.). Clinical psychologists must also obtain a license from the state in which they practice. There are a few states that license psychologists at the master's level.
Not necessarily. Some forms of psychology practice do not require licensure (for example, industrial & organizational, consumer, coaching, and other consultative practices). The Professional Liability Policy also covers postdoctoral candidates working under supervision toward licensure. All states require a license to provide certain clinical services, and the policy requires that you comply with all applicable laws and guidelines. However, many postdoctoral candidates must practice under supervision for one to two years before being eligible for licensure. The Trust offers unlicensed post-docs working toward licensure a 35% discount for their first year of coverage.
Psychologists, including post-docs and doctoral students working to become psychologists, may apply for coverage. Additionally, owners and employees may be added to your policy to form a group policy. Group members can be psychologists or other Allied Mental Health Professionals such as Marriage and Family Therapists, Counselors, and Social Workers.
The policy puts no limits on where you can practice (though state or local statutes may). You are covered for services you provide anywhere in the world. However, the policy will only defend you if you are sued in the United States, its territories or possessions, or Canada.
The Trust can only issue a policy to you if you have a valid address in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia , the US Virgin Islands, or an APO/FPO (AA, AE, and AP).
No. Association membership is not required to apply for this insurance policy.
No. Association membership is not required to renew the policy.
The policy has a per-incident limit and an aggregate limit. The per-incident limit is the maximum the policy will pay for one claim. The aggregate limit is the maximum the policy will pay if there are multiple suits that apply to the same policy period. Each claim is still subject to the per-incident limit.
No. If you have a covered claim, the carrier defends you. There are no limits placed on how the carrier defends you. The defense cost does not diminish the limits available for damages. You are still covered up to your policy limits for settlements or damages.
An independent contractor is a person or entity who provides services for the policyholder, but does not directly work for the policyholder. The insured should refer to the Internal Revenue Service, which uses 20 criteria to make such a distinction.
Experience shows that practitioners who use independent contractors are more likely to be involved in claims. The carrier requires that you notify them when you have contractors working for your practice.
When an independent contractor does not carry his or her own coverage, plaintiffs often look for "deep pockets" - any source that can pay for damages. The determination often has more to do with the ability to pay than the guilt of the party. When an independent contractor does not have coverage, it is far more likely that the principal will be sued for the independent contractor's actions. The Trust helps by allowing insureds to purchase coverage under their policy for uninsured independent contractors. If there is a claim, the damages are assigned to the correct party and not you, the principal.

Trigonometric Graphs (Day 1 of 3)
Lesson 1 of 13
Objective: SWBAT determine the domain and range of the trigonometric functions
Big Idea: By using technology to graph the functions, students identify the domain and range of the 6 trigonometric functions.
Bell work
This unit progresses from the unit circle to observing how the trigonometric functions can be graphed as a relation between the measure of an angle, x, and the value of a trig function f(x). To enable students to use their existing habits, we follow a progression similar to our work with absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
I begin with the function f(t)_=_t^3 (See my Confusion between... Reflection on why I use t and f(t) in this lesson). I ask my students the following questions:
- What variable is used to represent the values in the domain of the function?
- What name is given to describe the set of values in the range of the function?
- What is the domain of the function?
- What is the range of the function?
- How steps can we take to graph this function?
I use a similar protocol to discuss and graph the function f(t)=ln t.
I finally move to f(t)=sin t. I ask the same questions as above. Although they are familiar with the Unit Circle and the Sine function, I expect some of my students will get stuck when they try and determine the domain and range values. They will also be unsure how to graph the function. Others will use their graphing calculators to determine the values. In this case, I expect some will try to graph f(x) = sin(t), and will receive an error message.
After we discuss the obstacles that arise, I will explain that we are going to look carefully at how to graph f(t)=sin t and the other trigonometric functions today, so keep in mind some of the obstacles that came up so far.

Identifying Domain and Range
With my students wondering some of the challenges of graphing f(t) = sin t, we'll begin exploring the graphs of the six trigonometric functions. We start with an activity that uses the Desmos Graphing Calculator app. I prefer using the computer for these functions because my students are better able to see the graph than on a graphing calculator. This becomes important when there are asymptotes. Desmos is also user friendly, and can be used at home easily.
The exploration begins with students graphing each function, then determining the domain and range for each. I expect my students will begin to have questions when they graph the tangent function. I am prepared to use questioning to help students discover the shape and characteristics of the graph of f(t) = tan t:
- What are your setting for the x-axis (making sure they are appropriate)?
- What do you see on the graph?
- Have you tried zooming out? What do you notice when you do?
- How could you write the domain for this function?
At this point I do not expect my students to write a mathematical definition of the domain using correct notation. I expect that many will say t cannot equal pi/2, 3pi/2, etc., which is a good starting point and prepares them for the remaining functions.
Teacher's Note: As students continue they will be amazed when they see they graphs of secant and cosecant. They will continue to need some support to write the domain and the range, but they are often excited about the graphs. This fact helps them to appreciate why it is helpful to have concepts like domain and range for a function.

Resources (1)
Discussion of Activity
After students have looked at the graphs I want to make sure everyone understands how to write the domain and ranges of the functions using correct mathematical notation. First, I bring the class back together to make sure we all agree on the answers. Then we will discuss a process and a notation for describing the domain of the functions.
I start by asking my students if they found any interesting or unusual patterns. Many will report that secant and cosecant are strange, some will comment on patterns with discontinuity. If my students do not say anything, I will be prepared to ask questions of students whom I overheard discussing the graphs as they worked on the activity.
When I display the first question from the activity on the board, I ask students to volunteer responses to fill in the cells. Once answers are on the board I use questioning to probe my students ideas about the answers:
- Does it make sense that sine and cosine have a range of [-1,1]? Why? (Here I want students to realize that the radius of is always bigger than the x or y or that the hypotenuse of the triangle is larger than either leg)
- Why is tangent undefined at pi/2? 3pi/2? etc? (I ask similar question for secant, cosecant, and cotangent)
- Why is secant's and cosecant's range not between -1 and 1? (I want students to realize that when you take a reciprocal of a number between -1 and 1 you get a number greater than 1 or less than -1)
Once we have discussed the graphs of the functions, we will move on to a presentation of how to express the domain and range using n*pi.
The definition of domain as a pattern confuses some students. In order to help, I show how 3*pi/2 is the same as pi/2+pi. I also ask if we can write -pi/2 as pi/2 + or - a number. We also go to 5*pi/2 and see that we are just adding a multiple of pi. Once students understand this I explain that in mathematics the parameter n is often used to indicate an integer, so we can say the domain of the tangent function is all real numbers t such that t does not equal pi/2+n*pi.
We then discuss how to write the domain of secant and cosecant by using the interval notation.

Today I ask students turn in an Exit Slip responding to this prompt:
You know that secant is the reciprocal of cosine. How could you use this property to verify where secant is undefined?

This year I had a really *fun* pregnancy and last minute I decided to renovate my kitchen right before the delivery. There were a lot of nice design ideas and products out there but I had no idea what to pick. Deniz helped me to design my new back splash and floor tiles and helped with the installation as well. Overall, I love my new kitchen and I believe I made the right decision to work with a woman-owned local business.

Shannon Revel has secured the acquittal of a man following a successful appeal against conviction.
The Defendant had previously been convicted of attempted theft, for which he received a 4 month immediate custodial sentence consecutive to an activated 20 month suspended sentence. Shannon, instructed by Deborah Hogg of Freemans Solicitors, advanced that there was no intention to commit theft.


text: It is rumored that an attorney in Texas has applied for a private letter ruling on behalf of a client asking for a ruling from the IRS that an owner of a property held in a Fideicomiso does not have to file forms 3520 and 3520A. Private letter rulings are only binding on the IRS with respect to the individual taxpayer who requested it, though sometimes the IRS will apply them to everyone. That ruling is expected to be released within the next month and finally for the first time there will be an IRS written declaration on filing requirements for Fideicomisos.

Implications of offshoring
The Offshoring of American Jobs is a great little book – a good airplane read – that was "written" by two famous economists, Jagdish Bhagwati and Alan Blinder. (I use the term "written'' in quotes because it is the outgrowth of a debate of sorts between Bhagwati and Blinder at a 2007 symposium held at Harvard.)
I grabbed the book as soon as it was published (in late 2009) knowing that I wanted to read whatever it is that Blinder had to say on this topic. Not only is this topic of great interest to me, but I have extraordinary respect for Blinder's point of view. He is one of those rare masters in the economics profession, able to combine deep and vast scholarship with real-world insight and a common sense understanding of the world.
As an aside, I know this from painful years as a graduate student in economics at both Cornell and Princeton. I quickly became convinced that macroeconomists didn't have a clue about what was going on in the real world. (This point of view, while clearly heretical for a graduate student of economics, has now become the norm among much of the thinking public in the aftermath of the Great Recession.) But Blinder, who I had the good fortune to have as a macroeconomics professor at Princeton, was a rare exception. He is a truly gifted teacher-economist.
But I digress. Here are the important insights from the book, the vast majority of them, as I expected, being attributable to Blinder:
- In thinking about the future of offshoring, it is important to make a distinction between "personal" service jobs (those where a person must be physically present to perform the task) and "impersonal" service jobs (where physical proximity is not a necessity because the work can be done remotely through technology, with little or no degradation in quality).
- "Impersonal" service jobs will continue to be offshored. Only personal service jobs are secure in high-wage nations that do not limit offshoring through legislative or regulatory actions (such as the U.S.).
- That means that in the future, offshoring will increasingly penetrate higher and higher levels of the educational spectrum. We see this happening already, for example, with high-end medical services (such as reading and analyzing medical lab tests and diagnostic imaging being done offshore).
- Blinder estimates that the number of U.S. jobs that could potentially be lost to offshoring in the foreseeable future is in the 30-40 million range.
What does this mean for those of us living in the U.S.? Here are a few of the immediate implications that occur to me:
- Even more than in the past, our future prosperity will depend on our ability to innovate, which provides the "first-mover advantage." It is really our only hope if we want to avoid having our "wages set in Beijing." [This is a quote from another famous economist and Nobel Prize winner, Joseph Stiglitz.]
- Education will continue to be key. Both in our school systems and in our work places, we need to focus on interpersonal skills and learning environments that foster (rather than impede) learners' creativity.
- Economic uncertainty will continue to be a fact of life.
When I combine Blinder's analysis with my own observations of the world of work, I come to the conclusion that, as economic uncertainty continues to grow, workers will place a growing premium on certainty. So paradoxically, the employers who get this and attempt to provide their employees with a modicum of certainty will gain a competitive advantage by doing so.
(By this point, you may have noticed that I have been silent on the contributions that Bhagwati made to the debate. That's because, in my view, they were negligible. Bhagwati, a famous trade theorist, essentially argued that offshoring is no big deal, and that it doesn't represent a significant future disruption to the U.S. economy. As I sat on the airplane trying to make sense of this argument, I realized this perspective comes from the classic – and in my view, ridiculous – assumption that so many economists make: that the economy is and always will be at "full employment." In other words, Bhagwati comes to the conclusion that he does, because he has assumed away the problem. Otherwise the mathematics gets too messy.)
So it should be pretty evident that I concur with Blinder's perspective. Offshoring will reach deeper and deeper into the American wage and education spectrum, disrupting the lives of more and more people, reaching higher and higher up the economic spectrum.
Meaningful opportunities to learn at work will become ever-more important both to the economic security of workers and to firms' ability to innovate. Employers who "get" this and respond appropriately are in a much better position to compete (and survive) than those that ignore this stark reality.

NetScaler MPX 22000 series launches at Interop
Amazing what you can do with 3½ inches these days. My index fingers are about 3½ inches and to put that into perspective I've just measured my iPhone and it's 4½ inches – almost 30% larger. Why is this relevant? Because in rack terms, 3½ inches is 2U and that's the size of the new NetScaler MPX 22000 series hardware, the new ultra high-end platform announced at Interop in Las Vegas this week. Read More…

Man admits trying to murder his mother in New Milton care home
A man has admitted attempting to murder his 94-year-old mother by smothering her with a pillow at a Hampshire care home.
Ronald Barham, 74, who has dementia, attacked Elsie Barham on 7 March.
Winchester Crown Court heard that Barham "snapped" while visiting his mother at the Quaker House care home in New Milton.
Judge Guy Boney QC described the act as "about as tragic and upsetting a case as can be imagined".
The court heard Barham, of Three Acre Drive, New Milton, was a "dedicated" only son who visited his mother at the care home almost daily.
Dentures in throat
However Barham had raised concerns with care home staff about how long he could continue to fund her care.
On the day of the attack he shut the curtains in his mother's room and tried to smother her with a pillow before putting a hand around her neck and squeezing it.
When Mrs Barham's dentures became dislodged he tried to push then down her throat where they became stuck.
Barham also ripped his mother's personal alert from her neck to prevent her from summoning help, the court heard.
Prosecutor Kerry Maylin said: "She said she thought she was going to die and he did everything he could to end her life.
"But in her stoic way she did everything she could to stop him killing her."
'Saddened by attack'
Barham was only stopped when a staff member raised the alarm after visiting Mrs Barham's room, thinking she could hear her being sick.
On entering the room one worker pulled Mr Barham away from his mother and the manager dialled 999.
Barham was arrested at the scene and later told police he "snapped."
Jonathan Simpson, defending, said: "The guilt, contrition and time in custody, being deprived of family and his wife, and what had been hitherto 73 years of freedom, have had a massive impact on the awareness of Mr Barham as to his wrongdoing. He will live with that."
Det Con Robert Rees said: "It is a tragic case. We will never know what his motive really was for this.
"It appears to be a number of factors that have led to Mr Barham snapping.
"Elsie Barham continues to enjoy good health and she's recovered well, but obviously she's justifiably saddened by the assault."
Judge Boney remanded Barham in custody, saying an order would be made for him to be detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act on a date to be set.

Is there any shar'i objection to using modern means of giving a presentation, such as a computer screen or projector, as a tool for the khateeb during the Jumu'ah khutbah, with no sound that would drown out the voice of the khateeb? The purpose of the Jumu'ah khutbah is to remind, exhort and teach the people, and to discuss with the people their religious and daily affairs that are related to their environment and society. These tools will help to convey the khutbah in a more practical way to the worshippers, and help them to focus on the subject matter, whilst paying attention to all shar'i aspects in the means used. Microphones and loudspeakers help to convey the khateeb's voice to a larger number of people, so they are audio tools; by the same token projectors and screens are visual tools. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) communicated to his Companions by means of gestures to make ideas clearer. One time we see him (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) holding his forefinger and middle finger close together; on another occasion we see him (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) drawing three lines on the ground to represent man, his lifespan and his hope, as is narrated in Muslim. These were simple matters at that time but they helped to clarify an idea or give a clearer image to the minds of the listeners.
I hope that you can answer my question.
The one who thinks that Islam does not approve of technical development and modern inventions is mistaken. Using the Internet, satellite channels and modern means of communication provide evidence for what we stated above. But that is conditional on it being in accordance with sharee'ah and not involving anything haraam that leads to negative consequences. What we think is that using a projector in the Jumu'ah khutbah is not in accordance with sharee'ah, for a number of reasons:
The Jumu'ah khutbah has a certain status and importance, as Allah called it in His Book "remembrance of Allaah", as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
"O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salaah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu'ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allaah [Jumu'ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salaah (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know!"
[al-Jumu'ah 62:9].
Using the projector as mentioned would detract from its status or take it away altogether, and is not suitable because the khutbah is remembrance of Allah, may He be exalted.
The Sunnah in the Jumu'ah khutbah is to keep it short, but using a projector and so on would make it long, which is contrary to the Prophet's guidance.
Abu Waa'il said: 'Ammaar [ibn Yaasir] addressed us and he spoke briefly but eloquently. When he came down (from the minbar), we said: O Abu'l-Yaqzaan, you spoke eloquently but briefly, would that you had made it longer. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace and Allah be upon him) say: "A man's lengthening his prayer and shortening his khutbah is a sign of his understanding (of religion), so make your prayers lengthy and your khutbahs brief, for there is charm in eloquent speech."
Narrated by Muslim, 869.
See also the answer to question no. 122701
The projector may be visible to some people and not others, and some of the worshippers may be deprived, such as the women and those who are sitting in a place where they cannot see the projector which, in this case, will be part of the khutbah and complementary to the words of the khateeb.
In order to use this equipment, the lights have to be turned off and the lights of the projector have to be turned on. This will require some of the worshippers present to move, either to turn the lights off or turn the projector on, and they will be distracted by the operation of the projector or sounds coming from the machine, which is contrary to the rulings on Jumu'ah. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade touching the pebbles during the khutbah and ruled that the one who does that deliberately will be deprived of the reward for Jumu'ah. In fact he forbade playing with the pebbles which were usually on the ground in the mosque: "whoever touches the pebbles has engaged in an idle action." Narrated by Muslim (857) from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah.
What we think is that it is not permissible to use a projector during the Jumu'ah khutbah. But in lessons, exhortations and lectures, the matter is broad in scope and there is nothing wrong with using projectors in those cases.
And Allah knows best.

It's Christmas, so the inevitable sparkle makeup and accessories come out to play for one month only. I'm not a huge fan of sparkly nail polish as it's a bit of a bitch to get off, but this polish from Miss Sporty may just be my favourite ever. Considering it costs a measly £1.99 it's pretty damn awesome. It contains lots of different sized and colour glitters to create a fantastic sparkle effect that catches the light. The amount of glitter in the polish enables it to actually stick to your nail in one sweep, rather than having to play around trying to blob on bits and make it even. In one coat and one sweep of the brush it looked top notch. Merry Sparkle Christmas.
Available online and in Superdrug for £1.99

Rock matriarch Sharon Osbourne credits her son Jack's determination to get clean with inspiring Ozzy Osbourner to kick his addictions to drink and drugs once and for all.
The Paranoid hitmaker's lifelong battle with alcohol and illegal substances has been well documented over the years, but it was only when Jack checked into a child psychiatric ward to deal with his personal issues in 2003 that the Black Sabbath frontman became serious about confronting his own problems.
Speaking in candid new documentary GOD Bless Ozzy Osbourne, which was produced by Jack, Sharon says, "Jack getting sober was… really his big turning point… Jack was dealing with life sober for the first time." The 62-year-old singer has spent the past few years completely sober after vowing to clean up his act for the sake of his loved ones and his dedication to the cause has stunned even his closest relatives.
The Osbournes' eldest daughter, Aimee, says, "He's really blown us away… It really seems like he's come through the other side." Kelly Osbourne reveals she is proud of her dad for sticking to his promise: "I spent 19 years of my life praying he was the father I have today. Not many people can say that." And Sharon has echoed her daughters' sentiments, adding, "He works really hard for his sobriety and he deserves it." GOD Bless Ozzy Osbourne premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on Sunday (April 24).

Eglise des Jacobins, Toulouse, France
Also known as the "Pink City," Toulouse is the fourth largest city in France. It is located on the banks of the River Garonne, 150 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea, 230 km from the Atlantic Ocean and 680 km from Paris.
The Church of the Jacobins is a deconsecrated Roman Catholic church, whose construction started in the 13th century.
Now a museum, it houses the relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Its palm tree ceiling is famous worldwide.
Miletus, Turkey
Miletus is an ancient prominent Greek city on the western coast of Anatolia. Its ruins are located near the modern village of Balat in Aydin Province.
Miletus was the home of philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, Thales of Miletus (6th-5th century BC), and architect Isidore of Miletus. It also welcomed St Paul on his final journey to Rome.
Miletus has an impressive 25,000-seat Greek theater, reconstructed by the Romans, as well as a Temple of Apollo and a Byzantine church.
According to Greek mythology, Delos is the birthplace of Apollo (god of daylight) and his twin sister Artemis (goddess of night light). His sanctuary attracted pilgrims from all over Greece.
Delos was first settled in the third millennium BC and became a prosperous trading port after 167 BC. But it was attacked and looted twice. Then, it served as a pirate stronghold during Ottoman occupation, before being turned into a quarry site. Its temple columns were burnt for lime and its houses left in ruins.
Fall colours
Kings Park is a large park in southern Winnipeg, located on the western side of the Red River. Its grounds include Japanese pagoda gardens in the centre of the park, a soccer field, two baseball diamonds, an off leash dog park area and marshland, home of waterfowl and wildlife.

Château du Close Lucé, France
Originally known as Château de Cloux, Clos Lucé was a built as a small fortress by Hugues d'Amboise in the 15th century. It is located in the vicinity of Château d'Amboise; both buildings are connected by an underground passageway.
In 1490, Close Lucé became the summer residence of the kings of France. Charles VIII acquired it for his wife, Anne de Bretagne. Francis I and his sister Marguerite de Navarre also used it until they "gifted" it to Leonardo da Vinci, whom the former had named "Premier Painter and Engineer and Architect of the King." The Italian polymath arrived there with three of his paintings -- the Mona Lisa, Sainte Anne, and Saint Jean Baptiste. He stayed at Clos Lucé until his death, on May 2nd, 1519.
Today, the place is a museum dedicated to the prodigy. You will find 40 models of the machines he designed, as well as a copy of the Mona Lisa. Ambroise Dubois painted it in 1654.
Leonardo has always fascinated me, and not just because of his incredible talents as a painter. He was interested in and mastered many other topics, such as architecture, science, mathematics, engineering, anatomy, geology, and cartography. One of his most fascinating drawings is the Vitruvian Man, which depicts the ideal human proportions with geometry according to ancient Roman architect Vitruvius.
According to Wikipedia, da Vinci "conceptualised flying machines, a type of armoured fighting vehicle, concentrated solar power, an adding machine, and the double hull. Relatively few of his designs were constructed or even feasible during his lifetime, as the modern scientific approaches to metallurgy and engineering were only in their infancy during the Renaissance. Some of his smaller inventions, however, such as an automated bobbin winder and a machine for testing the tensile strength of wire, entered the world of manufacturing unheralded. He made substantial discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, geology, optics, and hydrodynamics, but he did not publish his findings and they had no direct influence on later science."

Also known as the "Pink City," Toulouse is the fourth largest city in France. It is located on the banks of the River Garonne, 150 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea, 230 km from the Atlantic Ocean and 680 km from Paris.
The Jardin Japonais (Japanese Garden) is a wonderful little public park. Created at the beginning of the 1980s, it is perfect for anyone interested in a change of scenery without leaving the city.

Being the client its focus, quality management has become an essential subject for the company: the proper and due delivery of its products and the achievement of an operational excellence, in pursuit of high productivity and efficiency standards, are subjects that achieve new importance today due to the corporate promise of the company.
This has resulted in a sustained growth of five years for SQM, during which it has doubled its sales reaching almost US$ 1,000 millions. Such growth will allow the company to invest in order to improve its productive capacity during the next three years, which will increase its participation in markets to respond to the strong and increasing demand for its products.
The company also makes permanent efforts to favour the quality of its products: it pursuits a continuous improvement in manufacturing, marketing and distribution processes; it is concerned about meeting the requirements provided by international regulations for the products it commercialises and it makes sure that all laboratories of SQM have duly validated analytical methodologies, both physical and chemical, to keep an adequate control of its finished products. The development and implementation of a Management Quality System has been an essential instrument for the progress in this matter.
A proof of such progress, is the certification under the ISO 9001:2000 standard, which has been implemented by SQM in the lithium carbonate plant and its iodine plants in Nueva Victoria and Pedro de Valdivia.
But today, SQM wants to go further. It aims at a goal that transcends the simple delivery of quality products: it expects to furnish the need of its customers with appropriate business formulae, based on the knowledge and wide experience of the company.

Lately Bloomberg's reporting group (now without access to client tracking) has been hitting it out of the park when it comes to cognitive schizophrenia-inducing news article headlines.
Last Friday it was the market somehow going up and down at the same time.
Now, Bloomberg has shifted its deductive skills over to analyzing the gold market with the following article headline: "China's Gold Imports From Hong Kong Slump on Quota Backlog" in which Bloomberg says: "Mainland buyers purchased 126,135 kilograms, including scrap, compared with 223,519 kilograms in March, according to Hong Kong government data yesterday. Net imports, after deducting flows from China into Hong Kong, were 75,891 kilograms, from 130,038 kilograms a month earlier, according to Bloomberg calculations." Now perhaps what would have made this "slump" more amusing is if BBG had also shown it in context. Which we are happy to do. Because the 126.1 tons of gold imports in April, or the month of the "great gold crash", was only the second highest ever, and just shy of the all time record high of 223.5 tons imported in March.
And the "slump" when observed year over year. Hmmm:
Bloomberg was right about one thing however:
"Some qualified banks used up their gold import quota in the first three months and weren't able to get the paperwork done fast enough to bring in bullion in April," said Tian Rui, vice president of the precious metals division at INTL FCStone Trading Co. "We might see higher imports in May because demand surged after the rout."
In other words, look for the unslump in May when a surge in even more buying sends gross imports from Hong Kong to what may be new all time highs.
In the meantime, YTD imports of 500 tons are more than double the 240 tons imported over the same period last year: the same amount as held by the ECB.
China has now imported 1,333 tons of gold since January 2012, or 30% more than its official gold holdings, and is on a run rate to import 1500 tons in 2013 alone.
At least someone is taking advantage of all that levered ETF paper gold selling…

How the bendy bus "beat the tube strike"
10 comments:
- Daniel Hoffmann-Gill said...
I personally love them, they can carry so many people, so makes sense they shifted so many folk around during the strike.
I'll miss them, I live on the 29 route, so we still have them for now.
- 8 December 2010 at 12:06
It's also worth saying that the media language of "beating" the strike by taking other transport is kind of rubbish. The primary idea of the strike is to hit the pockets of London Underground. The tube workers don't really care if you go to work, as long as you don't go to work on the tube. No-one is "beating" them by taking a bike to work instead.

Boris Johnson is such a that. Can I say that?

"The primary idea of the strike is to hit the pockets of London Underground"
Disagree. That's the primary idea of a private sector strike.
In the public sector, where conditions and wages for LU staff are ultimately decided by elected politicians (both Mayor and Westminster), causing disruption that encourages politicians to support your claims is at least as important an aim as loss of revenue.
- 9 December 2010 at 02:43
And, of course in the case of LUL (London Undergound Liars) - which came first:
The arrogant, lying, bullying, incompetent management ...
Or the arrogant, loud-mouthed, crypto-marxist, bullying, lying Crowe?
A pox on both their houses!

Sorry, where is the figure illustrating greater use of bendy busses than DLR and trams combined? Not in that spreadsheet.

Er, nowhere because I didn't claim that.
- 15 December 2010 at 14:13
"Figures I've obtained via Freedom of Information reveal that on the last strike day recorded, more journeys were made on the supposedly "loathed" bendy buses than on all of London's trams or the DLR."

Er yes. That's "or" not "and"

The August box from POPSUGAR is always a highly anticipated one because it's their anniversary box. This year is their 5th year anniversary so I knew they would be curating a very special box. I was totally checking the tracking compulsively like a crazy person. And I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed. It's a great box!
POPSUGAR Must Have is a subscription service that sends a variety of items for women that are curated by the POPSUGAR editors. Items typically include food, beauty, home, among other miscellaneous things. Each month is $39.99/month, but you can use the code REFER5 to get $5 off your first month. It's consistently one of my favorite subscriptions ever! I have been subscribed for over 3 years now!
First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Bouncy Mask | $38.00
If you haven't used this brand before, I highly recommend trying their products! It's especially great for those with sensitive skin, since a lot of their products are fragrance free. In the winter I swear by their Ultra Repair Cream. This "bouncy" mask is a new product and it's really mild and hydrating. It only takes 10 minutes but adds a lot of moisture to your skin. My face felt super soft after I was done and I didn't have any irritation or discomfort. It was very soothing when it was on (definitely doesn't feel like the mud type of mask) and has a cooling effect. It's so refreshing in the summer heat!
The container is smaller than I expected but a little goes a long way. The first time I used a thick layer, and the second time I did a very thin layer and the results were the same. It has a very light fragrance that I barely noticed when the mask was on, so if you're sensitive to perfumed masks this could be a good one to try.
Meri Meri Gold Glitter Candles | $7.50
These are cute and practical–my favorite combination. They're longer than your typical birthday candles (about 6 inches long) and look very elegant. I love that it comes with little candle holders to stick into the cake! My coworkers and I always buy a cake for my boss for her birthday at the end of August so I'll have a chance to use these pretty candles! I would love to see more Meri Meri products from POPSUGAR!
Dogeared Friendship Bracelet | $34.00
Yay, more Dogeared jewelry! I am such a huge fan of Dogeared and their minimalistic dainty jewelry, so it's always a good box when they feature the brand. While I love the bracelet, I think it would be an awesome stocking stuffer gift for my cousin-in-law when Christmas rolls around! (Don't judge me y'all, planning early is how I sane when the holidays hit!) I know she will enjoy this bracelet and the message is perfect.
Goodie Girl Cookies in Chocolate Chunk | $2.95
I'll never complain about getting chocolate chip cookies in a subscription box! These are gluten free and peanut free, and taste totally amazing. My only complaint is that the package is very small. I could have eaten a huge bag of these! Though it's probably for the better that POPSUGAR sent a portion controlled size…
Cheers Lacquered Tray by Fringe Studio | $28.00
I love this tray so much! It's so cute and festive and I adore the touch of gold. It's approximately 12″ x 8.5″ and the sides go up 1.5″. It's made of wood but the finish is waterproof. I really like how versatile a tray like this is. I'm currently using it to organize all my random clutter on my desk, but I think once it cools down around here I'll use it as a cute tray to serve drinks. It would also be so pretty on our coffee table to store the ridiculous number of remotes we have and drink coasters.
I can't get over how much I love this tray! Imagine how pretty it would be to serve champagne on this tray for a New Year's Eve party!
Fringe Studio Free Spirit Journal | $16.00
This is a sponsored item from Jeep, but the journal itself doesn't have any Jeep or POPSUGAR branding on it.
The journal cover is a metallic rose gold and the "free spirit" text is embossed in white. Attached to the spine of the journal is a ribbon that functions as a bookmark. The quality of the journal feels very good, I'm trying to decide what to use it for. Maybe a travel journal?
The interior is lined and has "Follow Your True North" on the bottom of each page.
Shoptiques.com $25 Gift Card | $25.00
And last but certainly not least, a gift card! It's considered an extra but since it functions as an actual gift card (not a coupon, where you have to spend more money to get something) I'm counting it as the full $25 value. It's so generous for them to include a $25 gift card in a box that only costs $40.
The box that the gift card comes in is so well designed that I'm torn about what to do with it. On one hand, I love Shoptiques and the brands they carry. On the other hand, since the box is so cute I think it would be an amazing gift!
Overall I thought this was an amazing box! I love the curation so much, and each item is a hit. I'm blown away that they were able to deliver a $151.45 value box that includes an actual $25 gift card! I wish I had purchased several of these August boxes. All the items would make wonderful gifts, if only I didn't want to keep everything for myself! I am so excited to see what fall will bring for POPSUGAR, since fall is my favorite season and usually comes with my favorite box curations as well.

Do not reaffirm your existing vehicles until you read this website
(in most cases)
(No pre-payment penalty we report to all credit bureaus)
(No sales-people, closers, managers, or finance people to deal with)
(All numbers provided upfront)
Most of us rely on our vehicles to get to work, to the store, to the doctor and to drive our children to school and play. Giving up your vehicle is really not an option. However, you are afraid that after you discharge you will only be able to get a high-interest loan to pay for your car, if you can get a loan at all. Many people confronted with this situation keep the car, reaffirm the debt and continue to pay very high interest rates in order to continue driving. Replacevehicle has a better solution.
A discharge is a new financial beginning. It is important to make good decisions about your future, and that includes future automobile loans. In order to secure the best possible auto loan, you need the help of a professional who can offer good financing and a great deal on the vehicle of your choice.
It is also important to remember that a car is really nothing more than metal and glass that loses value every year. It does not make sense to go into debt for a new vehicle when you can get by with a less expensive one. You can always trade your vehicle once it is paid off, so start small and build your credit up again before you try to purchase an expensive vehicle.
Do not be surprised if you are inundated with pre-approved offers for car loans. There is a reason you are the target of so much interest: car dealers know that you just received your discharge and cannot file bankruptcy again for some time. Therefore, you are actually a better risk than someone teetering on the brink of bankruptcy but who has not yet filed. Furthermore, car dealers know that you may be desperate to get into a vehicle. They realize that you may not be aware of your options and that they can extract enormous interests rates by making you believe they are "doing you a favor."
At Replacevehicle, we do not gouge you after a bankruptcy. Our goal is to provide you with reliable, affordable transportation at a fair rate of interest. As of June 1st, 2018: No prepayment penalty Average Interest Rate: 12.99 percent Loan Terms: Up to 72 months Maximum Loan Amount: Up to $35,000 Visit Replacevehicle today to learn more about how we can help you into a car after bankruptcy.
Get approved for ZERO down, just fax (949) 315-3410 or email current paycheck stub.
The process is really quite simple. After receiving your info, we get a loan commitment from one of our lenders. We then forward all of the details to you via e-mail. Interest rate, term, amount approved for. We also give you the formula to figure out what your car payment will be, based on how much you spend,and the terms of your loan.
Under normal circumstances when you make a purchase at a dealership, you are supporting everybody from the guy washing the car, up to the owner. We at Replacevehicle cut out all of the middlemen in the purchase. The only people making any money on your purchase is us and the owner of the dealership.
That is the reason we can get you pricing that you would never be able to get on your own. The dealership looks at the deal as found business, because you wouldn't be there if it weren't for us. This is also the reason we can make the numbers make sense to the lender, because they are taking less risk by loaning you a fair amount of money based on the true value of the vehicle in today's market.
We only deal with new, or previously owned vehicles that are one owner and have clean car faxes. The problem with a new car is that it depreciates instantly as you drive off. Typically you can get much more car buying something that is a year or two old. Most cars have the remaining warranties in place and the history of the vehicle is checked by us.
Yes, all our loans have No prepayment penalties. You only pay interest for as long as you have the loan.
By law all your debts were listed in your bankruptcy petition, whether or not you decide to keep your car is another issue.
No, you are basically renting your car, the lender can't call you, or send you statements anymore because it was included in your bankruptcy. This does not report to the credit bureaus anymore.
You have 60 days after your discharge to back out of the agreement, this allows you to correct a potentially bad decision.
The only thing that is important, is the amount of money you owe on your vehicle, compared to what it is worth in today's market. You don't want to carry excess debt through your bankruptcy.
Yes, actually it is better to get both loans at the same time, instead of getting one and then trying to get a second later on.
Because you will not have to bury any negative equity in your new purchase, the enemy is not the interest rate, but the amount of money you are financing.
In most cases, you can obtain a new auto loan 1 week after filing.
Fill out all forms, below and a REAL person will respond within 24hrs.
Application costs nothing! Information is free.
Any information provided below will always be kept completely confidential.

Another Walk
It's fun to walk in areas of the city where I have not walked before. Even though I have driven through this part of Montreal, it is not the same as viewing on foot. While I am not a huge fan of graffiti, I did like the images here.
We walked into a park with houses facing it on each side. This three story (though more elegant than some) is typical of houses in parts of Montreal. The second and third floor dwellings are reached by an outdoor staircase, which can be treacherous on icy mornings. The wrought iron balconies at the left are more typical than the stone and concrete of the building in the centre.
This neighbourhood is near the Lachine Canal, once an important waterway, through which boats could bypass the Lachine Rapids. Industries sprang up along the canal. Since the advent of the St. Lawrence Seaway, it lost its usefulness. Now a bicycle path runs along it (not open this time of year). The waterway is used by pleasure boats, not working boats. Where once factories stood, now housing is replacing them. This footbridge crosses over the canal.
You can learn more about the history of the canal here.

If the returned item(s) is from a transaction that contributed to, but did not result directly in, the issuance of the 5000 Balance Reward points, then you will keep the points but the amount required to reach the next beauty enthusiast bonus will be proportionally increased equal to the value of the return. Points that need to be reposted will not be available until after a subsequent purchase of a qualifying beauty item.
