The Islamic Jurisprudence On Foods
The Islamic Jurisprudence on Food
Halal in Arabic means permissible or any object or an action which is permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law. The term covers and designates not only food and drink but also all matters of daily life. The opposite of this word is Haraam.
Surah al Baqarah(2), 168 : O ye people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of Satan for he is to you an avowed enemy.
Generally in Islam, every object and action is considered permissible unless there is a prohibition of it in the Islamic scriptures. The al Quran and the Sunnah. Clarification is given below in detail as to what is considered to be a permissible object or action in Islam, along with the exceptions.
Al Quran is The Quran and As-Sunnah are the words, examples, actions, agreements and dissagreements shown by Rasulullah saw.
Halal food are food that Muslims are allowed to eat or drink under Islamic Shariah. The criteria specify both what food are allowed, and how the food must be prepared. The foods addressed are mostly types of meat and animal tissue.
The most common example of Non-Halal (or Haram) food is pork. While pork is the only meat that cannot be eaten by Muslims at all (due to historically, culturally, and religiously perceived hygienic concerns), food other than pork can also be Haram. The criteria for non-pork items include their source, the cause of the animal's death, and how it was processed.
The food must come from a supplier that uses Halal practices. Specifically, the slaughter must be performed by a Muslim, who must precede the slaughter by invoking the name of Allah, by saying "Bismillah" ("In the name of Allah"). Then, the animal must be slaughtered with a sharp knife by cutting the throat, windpipe and the blood vessels in the neck (while the animal is conscious), causing the animal's death without cutting the spinal cord. Lastly, the blood from the veins must be drained.
Muslims must also ensure that all food (particularly processed food), as well as non-food items like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, are Halal. Frequently, these products contain animal by-products or other ingredients that are not permissible for Muslims to eat or use on their bodies.
A variety of substances are considered as harmful (Haram) for humans to consume and, therefore, forbidden as per various Qur'anic verses:
1. Surah al Baqarah (2), verse 173 : He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah. But if one is forced by necessity without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits'then is he guiltless. For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
2. Surah al Maeda (5), verse 3 : Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah, that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject Faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed my favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
3. Surah al Maeda (5), verse 5 : This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. (Lawful unto you in marriage) are (not only) chaste women who are believers, but chaste women among the People of the Book, revealed before your time? when ye give them their due dowers, and desire chastity, not lewdness, nor secret intrigues. If anyone rejects faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
4. Surah al Anaam (6), verse 145. : Say: "I find not in the Message received by me by inspiration any (meat) forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be dead meat, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine? for it is an abomination or what is impious, (meat) on which a name has been invoked, other than Allah's." But (even so) if a person is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience nor transgressing due limits? thy Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
5. Surah Al Nahl (16), verse 115 : He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and any (food) over which the name of other than Allah has been invoked. But if one is forced by necessity, without willful disobedience nor transgressing due limits? then Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. Surah Al Baqarah (2), verse 219. : They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: "In them is great sin, and some profit for men; but the sin is greater than the profit." They ask thee how much they are to spend; say: "What is beyond your needs." Thus doth Allah make clear to you His Signs: in order that ye may consider.
7. Surah Al Maeda (5), verse 90 : O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination? of Satan's handiwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.
8. Surah Al Maeda (5), verse 91 : intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allâh and from As-Salât (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?
The following items are explicitly forbidden
i. Pork.
ii.Animals slaughtered in the name of anyone but "Allah". All that has been dedicated or offered in sacrifice to an idolatrous altar or saint or a person considered to be "divine".
iii.Carrion (carcasses of dead animals).
iv.An animal that has been strangled, beaten (to death), killed by a fall, gored (to death), or savaged by a beast of prey (unless finished off by a human).
vi.Food over which Allah's name is not pronounced.
vii.Alcoholic beverages
A variety of substances are considered as Halal and Makruh for humans to consume based on the following hadiths :
1. Narrated by Abu Huraira ra : The Prophet said, "Every beast of prey with canine teeth is forbidden to eat". ( Reported by Muslim )
Muslim reported the aforesaid hadith from the narration of Ibn 'Abbas with this wording "And every bird with claws"
2.Narrated by Ibn Abu Aufa : We went on seven military expeditions with Allah's Messenger saw and we ate locusts. ( Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
3. Narrated by Anas ra regarding the story of the rabbit. He (Abu Talha ) slaughtered it and sent its thigh to Allah's Messenger saw, and he accepted it. ( Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud).
4. Narrated by Ibn Abu Ammar : I asked Jabir ra, "Is deer (Dhabu) a game (animal)?. He replied "Yes". I asked "Did Allah's Messenger saw say that?" He replied "Yes". ( Reported by Ahmad and Al Arba'a Al Bukhari and Ibnu Hibban graded it Shahih).
5. Narrated by Ibn Umar ra, Allah's Messenger saw prohibited eating of the animal which feeds on filth, and (he prohibited ) it's milk. (Al Arba'a except An-Nasa'i reported it. At Tirmidzi graded it Hasan.
6. Narrated Abu Qatada ra regarding story of the wild donkey. The Prophet saw ate from it. (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
7. Narrated by Asma' bint Abu Bakr ra. In the time of Allah's Messenger saw, we sacrificed a horse and ate it. (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
8. Narrated by Ibn Abbas ra : The Dabb (sand lizard) was eaten on the dining sheet of Allah's Messenger saw. (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
9. Narrated by 'Adi bin Hatim ra, Allah's Messenger saw said to me, "When you send off your dog, mention Allah's Name over it. If it catches anything for you and you reach it while it is still alive, slaughter it. Likewise, if you reach it when the dog has killed it but not eaten any of it, eat it. However, if you find another dog with yours and the game has been killed, do not eat, for you do not know which of them killed the animal. When you shoot your arrow, mention Allah's Name. If the game goes out of your sight for a day and you only find in it the mark of your arrow, eat it if you wish, but if you find it drowned in water, do not eat." (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim. Agreed upon and the wording id Muslim's).
10. Narrated by 'Adi ra : I asked Allah's Messenger saw about hunting with featherless arrow (Mi'rad) and he replied, "If the game is killed with its sharp edge, eat it ; but if it strikes with the middle part and the kill is beaten to death, it is considered a Mauqudha (an animal beaten to death with a stick, a stone and the like without proper slaughtering), so do not eat it." (Reported by Bukhari)
11. Narrated by Abu Tha'laba ra : The Prophet saw said, "When you shoot your arrow and the animal goes out of your sight, eat it when you come upon it, provided it has not become rotten." (Reported by Muslim).
12. Narrated by 'Aisha ra : Some people said to the Prophet saw, "There are people who bring us meat and we do not know whether or not they have mentionned Allah's Name over it." He replied, "Mention Allah's Name yourselves and eat it." (Reported by Al Bukhari).
13. Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal : Allah's Messenger saw forbade throwing pebbles and said, "A game (animal) is not caught by such means, neither is an enemy injured, but you may sometimes break a tooth or put out an eye (of someone accidently)."(Agreed upon, and the wording is Muslim's).
14. Narrated by Ibn Abbas ra : The Prophet saw said, "Do not take any living creature as a target." (Reported by Muslim).
15. Narrated by Ka'b bin Malik ra: A woman slaughtered a sheep with a (sharp-edged) stone, so the Prophet saw was asked about that and he ordered it to be eaten. (Reported by Muslim).
16. Narrated by Rafi' bin Khadij ra : The Prophet ra said, "Whatever causes the blood to gush out, and Allah's Name is mentioned over it, then eat (from the animal slaughtered in such a way). But, do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail (claw). This is because the tooth is a bone and the nail (claw) is the knife of the Abyssinians (Ethiopians)." (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim).
17. Narrated by Jabir bin 'Abdullah ra : Allah's Messenger saw prohibited that an animal be tied up and then killed (by beating or shooting). (Reported by Muslim).
18. Narrated by Shaddad bin Aus ra : Allah's Messenger saw said, "Verily Allah has prescribed profidiency in all things. Thus, if you kill, kill well, and when you slaughter an animal, do it in a good way. Everyone of you should sharpen his blade so that the animal may be spared from the suffering of the slaughtering." (Reported by Muslim).
19. Narrated by Abu Sa'id Al Khudri ra : Allah's Messenger saw said, "The slaughter of the Janin (fetus) is included when its mother is slaughtered."(Ahmad reported it and Ibn Hibban graded it Shahih).
20. Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Hurayra asked Abdullah ibn Umar about eating what was cast up by the sea and he forbade him to eat it. Then Abdullah turned and asked for a Qur'an, and read, "The game of the sea and its flesh are halal for you." Nafi added, "Abdullah ibn Umar sent me to Abdar-Rahman Ibn Abi Hurayra to say that there was no harm in eating it."
21. Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Sad al-Jari, the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab asked Abdullah ibn Umar about fish which had killed each other or which had died from severe cold . He said, "There is no harm in eating them.'' Sad said,' 'I then asked Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al As and he said the same."
22. Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Abu Hurayra and Zayd ibn Thabit that they saw no harm in eating what was cast up by the sea.
23. Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman that some people from al-Jar came to Marwan ibn al-Hakam and asked him about eating what was cast up by the sea. He said, "There is no harm in eating it." Marwan said, "Go to Zayd ibn Thabit and Abu Hurayra and ask them about it, then come to me and tell me what they say." They went to them and asked them, and they both said, "There is no harm in eating it " They returned to Marwan and told him. Marwan said, "I told you." Malik said that there was no harm in eating fish caught by magians, because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "In the sea's water is purity, and that which is dead in it is halal. " Malik said, "If it is eaten when it is dead, there is no harm in who catches it."
Meat from Christians and Jews
In Surah 5:5 of the Qur'an, it is written: "The food of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] is lawful for you as your food is lawful for them." Interpretation of this verse cannot and should not be oversimplified to include any food of the People of the Book as lawful for the Muslims. Just as pork offered by a Christian cannot be lawful for the Muslims, similarly carrion offered by a Muslim[disputed cannot be lawful for the People of the Book. Thus the lawful food prescribed for the People of the Book is lawful for the Muslims, subject to the express restrictions as reiterated in 6:145 and 16:115, particularly about mentioning Allah's name at the time of slaughtering. The word 'a'am is the verbal noun of the root 'a'ama meaning food, including crops, fruits, meat, vegetables, etc. Since the permitted and prohibited food are connected to the manner an animal meat is prepared, evidently the word 'a'am refers to animals slaughtered by the People of the Book, provided that during the time of slaughtering Allah's name is invoked (6:121). The requirement to invoke Allah's name is a must. In other words the word 'a'am refers to dhabiah meat; i.e., the meat prepared after slaughtering an animal by cutting the throat (jugular vein, carotid arteries, and trachea) and during slaughtering Allâh's name is invoked (Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Ikrimah - all quoted by abari, Ibn Kathir).
Some scholars from the Muslim world agree that this verse speaks about the Christians of Muhammad's time and say that Christian methods of slaughtering and consumption have drastically changed over time as the diet played lesser importance in the daily practice of Christians.They also point to Deuteronomy, chapter 14, verse 8, in the Bible, which says "Thou shall not eat of the swine nor shall you touch its dead carcasses." Pork and pork related products, which are forbidden in Islam, are consumed by Christians and used widely in food and food products. Kosher meats, which are consumed by Jews, are permissible if no halal meat is available. This is due to the similarity between both methods of slaughtering and the similar principles of kosher meat which are still observed by the observant Jews today.
Exception if no Halal is available. If there is absolutely no other Halal food available and the Muslim is forced by necessity, then a Muslim is allowed to eat Non-Halal food.

Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.
38. Surah Al Araf (7), 57. It is He who sendeth the winds like heralds of glad tidings going before His Mercy: when they have carried the heavy-laden clouds, We drive them to a land that is dead, make rain to descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest therewith: thus shall We raise up the dead: perchance ye may remember.
39. Surah Al Rad (13), Verse 4, And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees? growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat.

Thus doth Allah set forth parables.

I got up and brought some ripe fresh dates and put it in front of the Prophet. He ate and then said to me, "Where is your hut, O Jabir?" I informed him, and he said, "Spread out a bed for me in it." I spread out a bed, and he entered and slept. When he woke up, I brought some dates to him again and he ate of it and then got up and talked to the Jew again, but the Jew again refused his request.

We would perform the prayer thereafter with-out performing new ablution."
74. Narrated Abu Umama: Whenever the dining sheet of the Prophet was taken away (i.e., whenever he finished his meal), he used to say: "Al-hamdu lillah kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi ghaira makfiy wala muwada' wala mustaghna'anhu Rabbuna."
75. Narrated Abu Umama: Whenever the Prophet finished his meals (or when his dining sheet was taken away), he used to say. "Praise be to Allah Who has satisfied our needs and quenched our thirst.

79. Narrated Anas: I know (about) the Hijab (the order of veiling of women) more than anybody else. Ubai bin Ka'b used to ask me about it. Allah's Apostle became the bridegroom of Zainab bint Jahsh whom he married at Medina. After the sun had risen high in the sky, the Prophet invited the people to a meal. Allah's Apostle remained sitting and some people remained sitting with him after the other guests had left. Then Allah's Apostle got up and went away, and I too, followed him till he reached the door of 'Aisha's room. Then he thought that the people must have left the place by then, so he returned and I also returned with him. Behold, the people were still sitting at their places. So he went back again for the second time, and I went along with him too. When we reached the door of 'Aisha's room, he returned and I also returned with him to see that the people had left. Thereupon the Prophet hung a curtain between me and him and the Verse regarding the order for (veiling of women) Hijab was revealed.

Etiquette of Eating
1. 'Umar bin Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh), said to me, "Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say Bismillah before starting eating), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is near you." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
2. 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "When any of you wants to eat, he should mention the Name of Allah in the begining, (i.e., say Bismillah).

3. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saying, "If a person mentions the Name of Allah upon entering his house or eating, Satan says, addressing his followers: 'You will find no where to spend the night and no dinner.' But if he enters without mentioning the Name of Allah, Satan says (to his followers); 'You have found (a place) to spend the night in, and if he does not mention the Name of Allah at the time of eating, Satan says: 'You have found (a place) to spend the night in as well as food."' [Muslim].

Then a bedouin came in rushing as if someone were pushing him. He (pbuh) caught his hand also and said, "Satan considers that food lawful for himself on which the Name of Allah is not mentioned. He (Satan) brought this girl to make the food lawful through her but I caught her hand. Then he brought the bedouin to make it lawful through him but I caught his hand too. By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, now Satan's hand is in my grasp along with their hands." Then he mentioned the Name of Allah and began to eat [Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i].
5. Umaiyyah bin Makhshi (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was sitting while a man was eating food. That man did not mention the Name of Allah (before commencing to eat) till only a morsel of food was left. When he raised it to his mouth, he said: "Bismillah awwalahu wa akhirahu (With the Name of Allah, in the beginning and in the end)."

6. 'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was eating with his six Companions when a desert Arab came and ate up the food in two mouthfuls. Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Had he mentioned the Name of Allah, it would have sufficed for all of you." [At-Tirmidhi].

8. Mu'adh bin Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "He who has taken food and says at the end: 'Al- hamdu lillahi-lladhi at'amani hadha, wa razaqanihi min ghairi haulin minni wa la quwwatin (All praise is due to Allah Who has given me food to eat and provided it without any endeavour on my part or any power),' all his past sins will be forgiven." [At-Tirmidh i].

12. Abu Mas'ud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:A man prepared some food especially for the Prophet (pbuh) and invited him along with four others. But a man accompanied him. Having arrived at the door, Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said to the host, "This person has followed us. You may allow him, if you like, and if you like he will return." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, I allow him, too." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
13. 'Umar bin Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:I was a boy under the care of Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and as my hand used to wander around in the dish, he (pbuh) said to me once, "Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say Bismillah), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
14. Salamah bin Al-Akwa' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported on the authority of his father: A man ate with his left hand in the presence of Messenger of Allah (pbuh), whereupon he said, "Eat with your right hand." The man said: "I cannot do that." Thereupon he (the Prophet (pbuh)) said, "May you not be able to do that." It was vanity that prevented him from doing it and he could not raise it (the right hand) up to his mouth afterwards. [Muslim].
15. Jabalah bin Suhaim reported: We were with 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair (May Allah be pleased with them) in a time of famine, then we were provided with dates.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
16. Wahshi bin Harb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Some of the Companions of Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "We eat but are not satisfied." He (pbuh) said, "Perhaps you eat separately."

When their number increased, Messenger of Allah (pbuh) sat down on his knees and rested on the soles of his feet. A bedouin said to him: "What sort of sitting is that?"

[Muslim].
25. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "Satan appears at every thing done by you; he appears even at one's dinner. When a morsel of any of you falls, he should pick it up and remove any dirt on it, and then eat it.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever Messenger of Allah (pbuh) ate food, he would lick his three fingers and say, "If anyone of you drops a morsel of food, he should remove any dirt that may have stuck on it and then eat it, and should not leave it for Satan." He (pbuh) also commanded us that we should glean the pot, saying, "You do not know in which part of your food the blessings lies."[Muslim].
27. Sa'id bin Al-Harith reported: I asked Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) whether it was obligatory to make Wudu' for Salat (prayer) after eating cooked food.

34. Sahl bin Sa'd (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A drink was brought to Messenger of Allah (pbuh) and he drank (some) from it. On his right was a boy and on his left were some elderly people. He (pbuh) said to the boy, "Would you permit me to give rest of this drink to these on my left?"

Jury bungled Zimmerman case
Jury bungled Zimmerman case
I've been reading with some confusion the letters concerning the George Zimmerman trial. Most of the letter writers' missives I've read in your paper have had a very loose grasp of the facts.
One actually said that Trayvon Martin was nearly two feet taller than Zimmerman. That would have put Trayvon Martin at 7 feet 7 inches. He was actually only 5 feet 11 inches tall. He was only 4 inches taller than Zimmerman and Zimmerman was 11 years older than Trayvon Martin. Mature men are usually much stronger than young 17-year-old kids.
The facts of this case were pretty clear: A young boy on his way home was followed by an older man who was a stranger. The stranger shot and killed the boy without justifiable reason. The older man was told not to follow the boy, but ignored those warnings and followed him anyway. The man was armed with a handgun, the boy was unarmed and minding his own business.
The jury messed up big time on this case. Zimmerman's "story" was not able to be confirmed as true and therefore, should not have been taken as true. He changed his story at least a few times from the night of the killing until his trial. He told Sean Hannity that it was the "will of God."
Zimmerman is a dangerous guy and should be in jail.

Virtualization of servers, the initial business of the VMware, and still the source of the lion's share of VMware's revenue is about injecting a layer of software between the hardware in the data center and the operating systems as a result of this additional level of layering providing a set of additional set of functions (easier backup, easier disaster recover, flexibility, etc.). This business is entirely independent of the operating systems and the applications running on those operating systems.
As a supplement to this initial business, VMware is also becoming an applications platform vendor. This started with the acquisition of SpringSource with which came a Tomcat compatible Java applications server. Subsequent to the acquisition of SpringSource VMware has made the following significant moves:
- On April 13th of this year, SpringSource announced the acquisition of the RabbitMQ Cloud Messaging Technology. This will result in the integration of standard based messaging into the SpringSource Java platform – which will in turn greatly facilitate the development and deployment of applications that can be deployed in a location independent manner.
- On April 27th of this year, VMware announced the strategic partnership with SalesForce which will result in SalesForce hosting a PAAS cloud based upon the Spring TC Server allowing the Force.com developer community and the Java developer community to build and easily deploy those applications on the VMforce PAAS cloud.
- On May 6th of this year, SpringSource announced acquisition of GemStone Systems a vendor of open source in memory data management technologies. This puts VMware into direct competition with Oracle who markets the market leading memory caching technology known as Oracle Coherence.
Taken together these announcements mean that VMware is going down a path of providing a Java run time environment (a Java applications server) with a simple and inexpensive to deploy on site model (the Java run time environment glued more or less directly into a VM), and a simple and inexpensive cloud deployment model through PAAS cloud vendors (expect there to be many more examples of VMforce). These moves are in direct competition with the following vendors:
- This move competes with Microsoft and Red Hat on two levels. The first level is that gluing the Spring TC Server more or less directly into a guest will not require any underlying OS or OS support agreement. So the extent that an enterprise places an application on the Spring TC server they are making a decision to not buy an operating system from either Microsoft or Red Hat. Microsoft is also the vendor of .Net and Red Hat is the vendor of JBoss which are competing applications platforms to SpringSource TC Server.
- Being an applications platform company, puts VMware in competition with every other vendor of a Java application platform. The two principal vendors here are Oracle (who acquired BEA the vendor of WebLogic) and IBM who is the vendor of vSphere. Weblogic and WebSphere are both very expensive products which are the basis of huge businesses (BEA closed out 2008 with $1.5B in revenues). VMware making TC Server available as a free open source alternative is a direct threat to this revenue stream.
It is important to think of VMware as a company that now has five businesses; data center virtualization, cloud computing, desktop virtualization, management software, and applications platforms. Of these five, the application platform business may be the one with the highest long term strategic value. The upper level management team at VMware with a Microsoft background (Paul Maritz, Todd Nielson, and Richard McAniff) all built Windows into a success not by building the best OS, but by building and marketing the best applications platform. This effort is clearly an attempt on the part of these same executives to repeat this success – except this time around Java and an open source platform model.
The real impact of these moves will be felt if and when VMware makes the same bits available as a part of vSphere that are part of the VMforce cloud offering to the enterprise customers of vSphere. At that point time time enterprises will be offered a very inexpensive Java run time platform that is tuned to virtualization, that facilitates very rapid deployment of Java applications into a virtualized environment, and that offers applications portability between VMware TC-Server run time environments and Java PAAS clouds like VMforce. This may well prove to be an irresistible combination to enterprises that are used to paying millions of dollars to Oracle and IBM for an equivalent platform that is harder to manage.

We are completely dedicated to expanding our reach and helping more people than ever have safe, effective cleaning products to use
Boca Raton, Fla. (PRWEB) June 21, 2016
Eco Clean Nordic LLC, a Danish natural cleaning solution manufacturer that has a line of products that do not contain any harmful ingredients announced its line will be featured at the International Diet, Sports Nutrition & Vitamins ECRM show in Tampa, Florida from June 26-29, represented by Nutritional Products International (NPI).
ECRM trade shows allow companies the chance to introduce their products to some of the top retail buyers in the nutritional and health product industry. Eco Clean Nordic LLC representatives from the NPI team will therefore have a chance to educate some of the business's most influential figures about the numerous benefits of the cleaning products.
"We can't wait for NPI to get to Tampa and participate in the monumental show," said Tommy Anderson of Eco Clean. "This show is a big opportunity for us to expand on the reach we have already developed and to learn from many other major players in the industry about marketing and product development. We are pleased to have the chance to participate."
At ECRM events, retail buyers visit suppliers in private meeting spaces to discuss product launches, marketing strategies and various other business initiatives. This makes the events different than standard trade shows, which lack the same sort of privacy and intimacy ECRM offers at its shows.
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the company was founded in 2010 by a team of passionate people with the goal of creating wholly biodegradable and sustainable household cleaning products. The brand has already seen significant success throughout Denmark, Germany, Austria and Scandinavia, and now looks to bring its products to a new audience in the United States that has a demonstrated need for sustainable cleaning products.
Eco Clean is among very few brands in Europe that make their products with 100 percent post-consumer plastic and wholly EU Eco-Certified detergents that meet the strict sustainability and ecological standards and regulations set by the European Commission. To obtain the Eco Label, companies are not allowed to use certain essential oils that many European and American companies do, as they can cause allergies and may have a relatively poor environmental profile. Additionally, all products must pass a sustainable packaging test and avoid using harmful chemicals like Benzisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone, which are synthetic preservatives and may also cause allergies.
Because Eco Clean has gone through such rigorous sustainability and natural product certification processes, the products are safe for use in any home. While many common cleaning solutions you'll find on shelves in American stores can be toxic for children, Eco Clean does not have such dangers associated with it, making it a clear choice for families concerned about being responsible both in terms of child safety and environmental sustainability.
"This show is going to be our next big chance to help show the world what these products can do for everybody," said Mr. Anderson. "We are completely dedicated to expanding our reach and helping more people than ever have safe, effective cleaning products to use."

HOMESTEAD (KDKA) — Thursday morning, it was an empty lot. Thursday evening, it's a playground.
The new playground for Propel Charter School in Homestead goes up almost as fast as you could say "KaBOOM!" And that happens to be the name of a national non-profit teaming up with the McDonald's Foundation to build play areas for kids who need it most.
Project manager Alec Stackhouse pumps energy into some 200 volunteers. This will be his 37th instant playground.
"We believe that play is so important in the development of children that we want to make sure we put a playground within walking distance of every child in America," he says. "That's our vision, and our mission. That's the reason we're here today, to fill in those gaps"
Volunteers include about 100 employees from McDonald's, and another hundred or so from the community. As they say, they go "from dirt to done" in six hours.
Kindergarten kids from Propel School, just across the street, painted rocks that will be implanted where they soon will come to play.
Principal Frank Brettschneider knows some of the older kids. They graduated from his school, and now they've come back to help.
"It's really exciting to see all these folks from all these different neighborhoods, Homestead, Braddock, Rankin," says the principal. "I can't believe we pulled so many people out to help with this."
