Plum Easy Cake
It's no surprise that I enjoy a little something sweet at the end of a meal. So, let me introduce my single layer cake with a moist interior and a crunchy exterior. This dessert is adaptable with seasonal berries or stone fruit for added color and flavor. If you prefer to skip the fruit, simply bake the batter with a generous sprinkle of sugar on top.
Parchment is a lifesaver and allows me to use a basic 9-inch round cake pan. If you don't have almond flour or oat flour on hand, here's a quick tip. Pulse whole or sliced almonds in a food processor until finely chopped, being careful not to blend into a butter. Oat flour can be made in a similar way. Just blend whole oats in a blender until blended into a powder. Measure the appropriate amount of almond flour and oat flour and you'll be ready to go. Serve this easy, elegant cake with this a drizzle of honey, a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to make any weeknight feel special. You'll see why this easy dessert is hard to resist. Be sure to share your tasty creations with me on Instagram @y_delicacies. I'd love to see your version!
Plum Cake
Servings: 8
1 cup butter (2 sticks), room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar, plus 2 Tablespoons for topping
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs

Arbitrary John Barrowman picture because John Barrowman.
Over the years I've collected quite the range of reviews from students.
My lowest rated year was filled with **** meaning that the swear words were deleted (e.g Stupid *****). I've wondered why hand me back a sheet basically filled with **** which isn't constructive criticism but largely anonymous yelling. Not helpful and to me comes off as harassment rather than an evaluation.
And there's always the person who checks "never" in every box which for the most part is lies.
So here's a list of the most useless and nonsensical evaluations I have received from students.
Note: I typically teach a 80 person lecture.
What a ******* ****
She talks and then leaves
I wasted my ******* time with that stupid ******* ****
I ******* hate group work.
Talks, leaves, boring
She just talks at us!!!! (Me: What? Ummm what did you expect from a lecture?)
There is no content in this course
She's always late. (Me: I was late once in 7 years.)
Never gives help (me- Did you ever ask for it?)
She never answers any of my questions and then told me to look something up (Me: They had asked 12 questions in 1 class, on the 12th I told them to look it up)
She doesn't pay attention to us as individuals. (Me: And I don't know your name either snow flake)
She's never available outside of class. (Me: You never ask and the college doesn't provide me with either an office or pay me to be on campus. I also list hours when I am on campus. No one shows up.)
She doesn't have any class participation! (Me: I do, but none of you talk.)
She uses every excuse to yell at us for no reason! (Me: Because you were talking through lecture and harassing a colleague is a reason)
So remind me.. What is the purpose of these evaluation?
Admittedly useful advice I've received:
Speaks too fast (Me: Guilty! There is wayyyyyy too much content in this class)
Needs to hand back assignments promptly. (Me: Yup)
Could use trigger warnings on certain sections (Me: Yup, gonna be in the updated Course sheet)
Could use regular review. (Me: Yup, I've added that and it works well to sum basic concepts)
This class might be too difficult for ESL and/or deaf students (Me: Yes, I've tried to add more information to slides and try really hard to work with my translators.)
Doesn't post course notes: (Me: Yes, and I never will because you'll never attend my class again and it's not an online course.)
What evaluations have you received from students?

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Anne Steele was the daughter of a timber merchant who also served as a lay pastor. Anne dealt with a lot of suffering in her life. Her mother died when she was 3; she bacame invalid at the age of 19 after a hip injury; she was engaged to be married at the age of 21, but her fiancé drowned on the day of their wedding.
This woman knew suffering and pain. She dealt with it by writing more than seventy hymns. This Sunday we'll be singing one of her hymns, "Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul," which was published in 1760. I don't always talk about the origin of hymns, but I thought this was important. When she talks about her soul being weary and God being her refuge, she really means it. She knows weariness. As we sing this song in the 9:30 service remember its origin.
According to reports, Anne "maintained a cheerful attitude" despite her painful life. Having a cheerful life in the face of such suffering can only come from a life lived in the shadow of the wings of God. She knew how to take her sorrows to God so that he could restore her. May we do the same.
Below are the words we'll be singing:
Dear refuge of my weary soul on you when sorrows rise
On you when waves of troubles roll my fainting hope relies
To you I tell each rising grief for you alone can heal
Your Word can bring a sweet relief for every pain I feel
And oh my Lord
To you when waves of troubles roll I'll come
But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail I fear to call you mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail and all my hopes decline
But gracious God where can I flee? You are my only trust
And still my soul would cling to thee, though prostrate in the dust
Have you not bid me seek thy face and shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace be deaf when I complain?
Thy mercy-seat is open still; here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will and wait beneath thy feet

Harvesting Intangible Assets

Release Date: October 2011

Book Description
Whether you call it "harvesting intangible assets" or "intellectual property management," organizations must make the most of everything they have to offer if they want to remain competitive. Yet, the majority of companies are oblivious to the wealth of revenue-producing opportunities hiding just below the strategic surface. In this thought-provoking book, author Andrew J. Sherman shares insights and expertise gleaned from his work with some of the world's leading companies who have capitalized on intellectual assets such as patents, trademarks, customer information, software codes, databases, business models, home-grown processes, and employee expertise. Featuring instructive examples from organizations including Proctor & Gamble, IBM, and Google, the book reveals how companies large or small can implement IP-driven growth and licensing strategies, foster a culture of innovation, turn R&D into revenue, and much more. Smart companies reap what they sow. This book gives readers the tools they need for a profitable harvest.

I've decided to take the entire month of December as one for reflection, introspection, planning, and research. Typically, I do this kind of thinking around New Year's Day. I dream about where I want to be and what I want to do without putting anything in place to help me get from A to B. Follow-through (or the lack thereof) is a huge weakness of mine. As is being scattered. My ADD fu is very strong. So I want to see if rather than only thinking about these things on one day; if I spend an entire month not just thinking but putting some new tools into place, can I be more effective in pursuing my goals and dreams.
I just read through a post I wrote in January. And for the first time (that I can remember) I feel like I've actually accomplished more of what I set out to do in a year than not. That's an amazing feeling. But I still have many areas where I fell short. So hopefully, this new approach will improve my results.
My successes for 2013 include publishing Deep Breaths & Chocolate; stepping up at work into a position of additional responsibilities including doing some peer training and learning progressively harder tasks; learning to manage my self-induced anxiety through reconditioning my responses and using relaxation exercises; dyeing another exciting group of Balticon colorways, the sales of which enabled me to attend Balticon for my 4th year (and it was extra special because my youngest attended for the first time and I got to experience it through his eyes); I've worked with a number of talented writers for the first time this year (I hope I'll be reading more great stories from them in the year to come); and in publishing my own book I created a publishing company, Bright Eyed Publications, through which I hope to publish other writers and poets in the future.
I still have issues with balance. I'm getting better at it; but I'm not yet where I want to be. I also failed miserably at writing this year. Focusing on publishing the poetry was a great excuse to not write prose. That was fine for this year; it's not gonna work for next year. So, writing will be one of the focuses, focci? for next year. Along with audio work, writing more poetry, publishing the next book, and learning the technical skills I need to be able to turn everything up a notch. So, I have lots of planning, scheduling, and research to do to get ready for the next chapter in this adventure we call life…

Identical twins Ashley and Courtney Nau, from Sunrise, Fla., have been inseparable for the past 20 years.
For the two sophomore physics majors, college life hasn't changed their relationship or living situation from what it was growing up.
"We really didn't have much of a say last year but we chose to do it this year," Courtney said. Her sister Ashley added, "When we picked beds it was easy. Courtney said, 'well I had top bunk as a kid so I guess I'll take that again.'"
The Naus are able to remain close because they are roommates. "Share a womb together, share a room together," Ashley joked.
At Norwich University, some students have a special experiences with their roommates – because they are siblings.
In interviews, siblings, both twins and singletons (sisters and brothers), explained their reasons for wanting to live with each other.
The Nau twins chose to because of convenience and closeness. "It's so easy. We have the same habits and level of cleanliness, so why change?" Courtney said.
"I am guaranteed no awkwardness or annoyances. I know how she lives and I don't mind continuing to live with her. Besides, living with her makes life super-easy and is like having a home away from home with her," Ashley said.
Her sister added, "We like it because we grew up sharing a room and because we shared a womb. It's just us two in here and it's nice because it's like how it was years before back at home," Ashley said.
For Charlene Huyler, a 21-year-old senior electrical and computer engineering major from Westport, Mass., it was important to her to spend her "last year" with her sister at Norwich, because Charlene will be graduating and commissioning this May.
"We kind of just wanted it to be our last year because I'm going to be going into the Air Force and she didn't know who she was going to room with," Charlene said.
For her sister, Kimberly Huyler, a sophomore nursing major, familiarity and trust is what made her decide to live with Charlene.
"Sometimes I feel like it's hard living with someone you don't know so I figured it would be fun to live with my sister because I already do it at home and I knew I could deal with her. Also, I get all her senior privileges too," said Kimberly, who is 20 years old.
For fraternal twins Justin and Joshua Lindor, two 20-year-old criminal justice majors, they also chose to live together because of familiarity.
"It makes Norwich a lot easier to deal with because you always have that person to go hang out with, who you're familiar with, and who just knows you," Justin said.
Joshua described their living accommodation as "convenient" because of how long the pair have been together. "It's more convenient because I lived with him my whole life so I might as well continue to live with him," he said.
There are certain advantages to living with a brother or sister. For the Huyler sisters, it's sharing things in the room.
"I just took her index cards this morning. She actually didn't even notice until I told her," Charlene said. Kimberly added, "If she takes something of mine, I'm not mad but if it's a stranger taking your stuff, it's totally different."
Something else they share is clothes and food. "She is definitely always asking to try on my clothes. We do share a lot because we are the same size so that's really good, and we do share all the food," Kimberly said.
"I think it's just better like the fact that we can share everything like our big stashes of food everywhere. We spend like an hour grocery shopping together," Charlene said.
Kimberly explained that confrontation with a non-related roommate is often "hard," but with having her sister as her roommate that isn't an issue.
"I had two roommates last year and if I had a disagreement with them it was kind of hard to confront them because you don't want to hurt their feelings because they're your friends. With my sister, if I'm mad at her, I can just say it. I'm not afraid to hurt her feelings because she has to forgive me because she's my sister," Kimberly said.
Charlene agreed, pointing out that there is no issue with confrontation because of their compatible relationship. "If something was wrong or I had to confront her about it, I can just tell her. For the most part, we get along really well," she said.
Thee is another advantage for Kimberly and Charlene. "We're really close, we like doing a lot of things together. We are very similar but at the same time we are different so it just works out really well," Kimberly said.
A further benefit for Kimberly is that she can feel at home even while away at school.
"I remember last year I would be way more homesick, especially during rookdom. I would always wish I could see (Charlene) more but I couldn't. Now I don't even think about it because it feels like I'm home because she's with me," Kimberly said.
There are also certain disadvantages that siblings experience by being college roommates. Kimberly explained that she has had to adapt to being around her sister so much.
"I'm not used to being around her this much anymore, especially since last year because I was a rook so I barely ever saw her and even when she was in college before that. We just weren't together as much so now I'm just remembering how it is to be around her all the time," Kimberly said.
Kimberly continued, "When we were little we didn't really get along, so now I'm starting to remember why, but I still really like it."
Joshua has a similar issue with his brother. "A disadvantage is I've lived with him for so long and it gets annoying being around him so much because I know everything about him," he said.
For the Naus, being together is a constant reminder of home, which isn't always a good thing. "We both enable homesickness even more. We end up talking about home and reminiscing, which makes it worse in some ways," Courtney said.
No matter the advantages and disadvantages, these siblings have a special bond with each other that differs from the one that regular roommates have.
"There is a bond and I describe it more as an energy," Courtney said. The Nau's described this energy with their own phrase, calling it "twin rage."
"Twin rage is when you get amped up off your twin's energy and you get super hyped. We have those moments," Ashley said.
Their "twin rage" is so strong that they even recognize each other's "sniffles" from a distance.
"Two weeks ago I was walking on the first deck of our building, and Ashley was walking on third deck and I guess she could hear me sniffling in the stairwell and she turned around and was like 'Court is that you?' And I'm like, how did you know?" Courtney said.
"We are really close, we relate to each other and have just experienced things family-wise, socially, and in school that only we've gone through compared to others, so we have that strong connection," Charlene said.
Charlene continued that being sisters but of different ages is a plus. "I think the age gap between us is nice because we don't feel the need to compete with each other. She does her thing in school and I do mine, we don't compare grades or anything like that, and I think it's good we don't."
For the Lindors, the bond of brotherhood is one where they can always count on each other. "Having a twin is more than just being siblings. If he needs me, I'll do anything for him and he'd do the same for me," Joshua said.
Ashley and Courtney suggested that the reason they "never get tired" of each other is that they make an effort to know what the other is thinking.
"Communication is key. That's our number one thing," Ashley said. Courtney added, "We don't speak through each other's minds. We do actually have to talk to each other. It helps if you communicate."
"That is a learning process that I'm grateful to have because it's been 20 plus years of doing so, and it's great," Ashley said.

Most Edamame soy beans (Mukimame beans) come from Asia. However, Ardo has now developed the perfect farming technology to grow the beans in Europe too. These young green pods of soy beans are crunchy and nutritious. Edamame soy beans are traditionally served as part of Asian dishes, but can also be added to salads for a protein boost.
Defrost the frozen vegetables at room temperature and season as required.
Put the desired quantity of product in a non metallic microwaveable bowl, cover and cook stirring occasionally.
Place the frozen vegetables in boiling water and bring back to boil. Frozen vegetables do not need to be cooked for as long as fresh since they are par cooked. Drain and season to taste.

The partnership spans my entire working lifetime from the day we met when I was a few months out of law school in Kansas City Missouri to yesterday in Phoenix. Together we pioneered the expansion of gambling into riverboat jurisdictions and beyond around the the USA culminating in the acquisition of 6 hotel casinos in Downtown Las Vegas in 2004. Pictured below is the night we did the changeover of ownership at the Plaza Hotel Casino in April 2004, the day we contracted to acquire the casinos in 2002 with a check and a handshake and yesterday as we pursue a casino resort project in Mexico! There are countless road trips , negotiating sessions, dinners, breakfasts and lunches, late nite strategizing and early morning coffee sessions and walk abouts, up and downs - through it all we have remained partners, friends and family. A lifetime of memories and the beat goes on. Thank you for being a mentor and a father figure and friend. Thank you for being family!

Drivewyze's Phenomenal Growth/
Since Drivewyze's introduction to federal regulators at a demonstration event in Maryland in June of 2013, it's been exciting to watch the growth of the mobile-based weigh station bypass service. Drivewyze has grown from 217 locations in a little more than a dozen states to more than 400 in 33 states. We think that growth says a lot about the prospects of this alternative to transponder-based weigh station bypass. Part of Drivewyze's beauty is how simple it is to use. Drivers can access it on their tablets, phones or other mobile devices. And fleets can use it with selected telematics devices from three major providers, with more on the way.
We're particularly excited about some announcements Drivewyze plans to make in January and later this year. To provide you a quick look at Drivewyze and what's got us so excited about its potential, we asked Brian Heath, president of Drivewyze, a few questions.

Winkle & Eli
Before heading back 'home' to the Philippines for a family wedding, Winkle & Eli tied the knot in a small & simple civil ceremony at the New Plymouth Courthouse.
It had been bucketing down with rain for days & that morning had been no different. As we headed to Pukekura Park for photographs I'd resigned to photographing in the greenhouses, but the rain eased & we were lucky to stay dry long enough to photograph among the lush trees & the lake.
Thanks to the sweetest couple for letting me share their intimate ceremony & the weather gods for giving us the park to ourselves!

Here comes the complainer
I wrote a complaint to the BBC today, which was a first for me. I love the BBC. I've always been part of the minority who feel the license fee represents great value for money, that the positive impact they have on the country as a whole is worth the cost. I'm not naïve enough to believe everything they do is farting sunshine and rainbows, but they're actually that rare example of a British institution that I'm proud of. Which has made the way they've fallen so desperately in love with the narrative of the UKIP surge so thoroughly depressing. I get that it's a story, but leading into the next general election we have a dangerously right wing lunatic fringe being actively championed and promoted through the national mainstream press. It's bewildering and infuriating, so I thought I'd throw my tuppence into the ring. The BBC are not the only culprits, not by any means (I note it's ITV who have invited Farage to fart his half baked opinions into their cameras alongside the traditional three leaders and haven't invited SNP or the Greens) but they are the one I help to fund.
Once I'd written it, I realised that the most it'll achieve is to bore some intern at the complaints office for the minute it'll take them to read it, so I might as well repeat it here, so it can bore you too. So here it is:
*Straightens tie and adopts Points of View voice*
Dear BBC (I didn't write that, but it looks better on here)
I am writing to complain that your coverage of UKIP is entirely unbalanced, and driven entirely by a narrative that you wish to push, rather than by the facts. UKIP are not as yet a political party with any sway, and certainly with no more influence than the Green Party, yet you cover them with the same zeal and fervour that you do the main three parties, whilst ignoring the other smaller parties.
Where was your coverage of the Green Party conference? I don't recall it getting mentioned in any of your TV or radio bulletins, and yet the UKIP party conference led the news reports. At the time of the conferences, the Greens were the only party of the two with a sitting MP, so why the publicity of one over the other?
Your organisation's desire to have a political narrative that will engage viewers, readers and listeners with a 'juicy story' is having a huge impact on the political landscape, and quite contrary to the BBC's principles of impartiality. Please can you address this and redress the coverage shown to this party and give it the status commensurate with its actual position in the political landscape.
*Shuffles paper*
So there you go. Doubt it'll have any impact but worth a shot.
If you'd like to do the same, you can do so here.

Start on the coast at Manorbier, before heading to the sands of Barafundle Bay. Drive on to Pembroke before turning inland towards and crossing the estuary en route to Milford Haven. Return inland towards Haverfordwest and Picton before looping back out to Martin's Haven and tracking the coast to St. David's.
From a small sheltered sandy beach, rock pools, a hill top medieval castle, a Norman church, stunning scenery, a Neolithic burial mound known as Kings Quoit and a pub and tea room Manorbier crams everything in, to create a perfect package.
Barafundle Bay
One of the best beaches in Wales. The golden sands backed by headlands dunes and pine trees makes the un-commercialised beach feel intimate and provides great views over the crystal clear waters.
Bosherston Lakes
Starting from the village of Bosherston you can walk past the National Trust managed lily ponds, look at the 3,000 year old remains of Fishpond camp or the small Broad Haven beach. Lilies are at their best in June / July but you make see plenty of wildlife at all times of the year. Nearby St Govan's chapel appears out of the rocks.
Sea erosion of the Stack Rocks cliffs has created an arch into the sea that is dramatic a view as you can find, but hurry as erosion is continuing. The whole area provides some excellent walking trails.
A great tourist destination town, the old town is surrounded by town walls and is dominated by its magnificent and well preserved Norman castle. The Tudor and Georgian buildings provide a back drop to the bustle of the town or the quiet of the Mill Pond and nearby ruins of Monkton's Benedictine Priory.
Milford Haven
Sitting on the banks of one of the largest deep-water harbours in the world the former commercial port has become a pleasure marina. The original dockside is now the Milford Waterfront shopping and eating area with the old customs house housing the Heritage and Maritime museum.
This ancient and picturesque market town, once the county town of Pembrokeshire, stands on the banks of the River Cleddau and is home to its splendid 13th century castle. The many river bridges allow easy access to explore the narrow streets.
A former castle transformed into a fabulous stately home combines with 40 acres of informal woodland walks and more formal designs including the walled garden makes this a great day out. The Secret Owl garden allows visitors the chance to get up close and personal with these fantastic birds.
Martin's Haven
The small pebble beach is a jumping off point for the 15 minute ferry ride to land on Skomer Island and the chance to see its variety of bird life. This is also the jumping off point to see some of the wildlife on other islands like Stokholm from the small boats used.
St Davids
After the beauty of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park this small city is a hidden jewel. Its Cathedral and Bishops Palace ruins nestle below what is really a small village and its proximity to the rugged coastline, Porthclais Harbour and lifeboat station make it a destination to explore.

Episode 05: Ramadan Podcast 1
An episode of A Muslim Mom
By Farhat Amin
A Muslim podcast series about the messy intersection of life + business and the humanity that leads us as we grow, and fail, and adapt throughout every new season of motherhood.
Farhat Amin is a proud Muslim mum and entrepreneur. She designs positive Islamic parenting resources. A Muslim Mom Podcast & blog is about helping Muslim mothers understand their identity through discussion. The inspiration to begin the podcast came from Surah Asr
"By Time. The human being is in loss. Except those who believe, and do good works, and encourage truth, and recommend patience."

How to help your child be a successful Muslim student
"Not alike are the dwellers of the Fire and the dwellers of the Paradise. It is the dwellers of Paradise that will be successful." (Quran 59:20) Allah tells us in the Quran that the people of the fire and the people of the garden are not alike. It is those who live in the garden that are the successful ones. A beautiful end that finishes in an eternal home of happiness is the reward for a successful life. Bearing this ayah in mind, how then do we understand what a successful life is? Do we achieve success by doing well in our exams and getting a high paid job? As mothers what understanding of success are, we giving our children? Just how does Islam define success? Nowadays, we are persuaded to think of success as a spacious house, an overseas holiday or fame, and fortune. People work hard for these small successes and they are not to be belittled. There's nothing wrong with wanting a 1st class degree or well-paid job however we need to teach our children that such successes are temporary. The only things you can take with you to the grave are your deeds. Anas ibn Malik reported Prophet Muhammad said, "Three things follow the dead person to his grave, two of which return and one of which remains with him. His family, money, and deeds accompany him [to the grave], then his family and wealth return and his deeds stay with him." Sahih al-Bukhari Read the full blog post here www.farhatamin.com Sign up to the VIP CLUB Today!

In part 1, I explored the reasons why Muslim teenagers lose their connection to Islam due to their parents/grandparents emigrating from a Muslim country. The detrimental effects of 'immigrant assimilation' on our kids, can easily go undetected, I only realised it when I began studying the topic. In this post, I want to explore some other factors that are contributing to making our kids think and behave more liberally. A Lack Of Muslim Friends Or Good Muslim Friends Alhamdulilah, globally the Muslim population is enormous. According to a study in 2015, Islam has 1.9 billion adherents, making up about 24.8% of the world population. www.pewresearch.org. This data is four years old, as you know, we Muslims love having babies, so the figure is probably 2 billion now! Although we are huge, in Europe and the US, we are a minority. If you don't live near a masjid or have a Muslim community nearby then your kids can't attend Quran classes/ Islamic studies classes where they can become friends with other Muslim teenagers. Whether you like it or not your teenager's friends have a bigger influence on them then you do. Hadith About Friends Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, (saw), said, "A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends." Tirmidhī Abu Musa reported: The Prophet, (saw), said, "Verily, the parable of good company and a bad company is only that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will give you some perfume, you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell. As for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes, or you will notice a bad smell." Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhāri As a high school teacher, I noticed the different cliques that formed in year groups. These friendship groups would have the same 'look', speak the same, go to the same parties, listen to similar music. Basically, follow a set of unwritten rules, if you wanted to be part of the group you would have to conform. But I think we all know this; we've watched the movies and once upon a time we were teenagers. So, if our kids don't have good Muslim friends then unfortunately, they end up mimicking (in varying degrees) their non-Muslim friends' behaviour. i.e. gossiping, dating, swearing, disrespecting their parents and teachers, dressing immodestly, experimenting with marijuana. Our kids are under a lot of pressure to behave like an average non-Muslim teenager. Maybe you're thinking, my child doesn't do that, and inshallah I hope you're right, and I am wrong. However, again as a high school teacher I witnessed the chameleonic behaviour of Muslim teenagers when they came to parents evening with their family. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic...

What causes Muslim teenagers to doubt Islam? Part 1
As a Muslim parent, we teach our kids about their deen. We do the best we can to create an Islamic atmosphere in our home. We send them to madrasah or Masjid to learn Quran. Things generally are ok until they become teenagers: that's when the problems start. As kids become older and go through puberty it's natural for them to be curious and ask questions. They begin to think independently and question everything. Why do I have to study so much? Why do I have to tidy my room? What's wrong with being on my phone till 1 a.m. in the morning? Some questions will also be about Islam. Why do I have to wear hijab? I don't think it's fair that I should have to fast when I have exams. Why can't I sleepover at my non-Muslim friend's house? I don't think it is a problem that Muslim teenagers ask these questions. I think it's a problem when we can't give them a clear answer which is based on Islam. www.farhatamin.com firstname.lastname@example.com Messages from awesome listeners Salam, I have listened to a 'Muslim Mum podcast' and just wanted to say it was really refreshing to hear someone talk about cultural and Islamic heritage. As a Pakistani, I understand there are some Pakistani traditions that originate from Indian/ Hindu practices, however, a lot of the traditions we choose to have are in line with Islam. So it was really nice to hear someone else make a link between Islam and traditional practices, for example Shalwar kameez is traditional but I would consider them a lot more modest than the clothes our youth wears today (skinny jeans, short tops etc). So just wanted to say thank you, and I'm really enjoying the content! Rida Love this article. We are all Muslim first but Allah swt created us in different tribes and races and we should celebrate that too, it's a gift to us but in the west sometimes our teenagers feel the need to suppress their actual racial identity to fit it. Racism / colourism also has a part to play too bubbling away in the background. Shan

Episode 01 : You are an AWESOME Muslim Mom!
This episode explores the status of mothers in Islam, the Quran and Hadith on motherhood and why modern society under values mums. Here are some of the beautiful ayah and Hadith describing the blessed status of mothers in Islam. The Quran on motherhood 1. "We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth" (46:15). 2. "Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: 'My Lord! bestow on them Thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood' "(17:23-24). 3. "We have enjoined on man and woman kindness to parents; but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not'" (29:8). 4. "We have enjoined on man and woman (to be good) to his/her parents; show gratitude to Me and to thy parents; to Me is (thy final) Goal. If they (parents) strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration) and follow the way of those who turn to Me (in love)" (31:14-15 Hadith about mothers 1. The Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai). 2. A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, 'Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim). 3. Abu Usaid Saidi said: We were once sitting with Rasulullah when a man from the tribe of Salmah came and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! do my parents have rights over me even after they have died? And Rasulullah said: Yes. You must pray to Allah to bless them with His Forgiveness and Mercy, fulfill the promises they made to anyone, and respect their relations and their friends (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah). 4. Abdullah ibn Amr related that the Messenger of Allah said: The major sins are to believe that Allah has partners, to disobey one's parents, to commit murder, and to bear false witness (Bukhari, Muslim). 5. It is narrated by Asma bint Abu Bakr that during the treaty of Hudaibiyah, her mother, who was then pagan, came to see her from Makkah. Asma informed the Messenger of Allah of her arrival and also that she needed help. He said: Be good to your mother (Bukhari, Muslim).

If you're living in an older home, you'd easily recognize an analog thermostat anywhere. For decades, people have relied on analog thermostats to provide them with a constant supply of heat and keep their homes nice and toasty. But these efficient devices burn major holes in your pocket via the hefty energy bills that you've to pay every year.
In today's green-friendly, energy-saving, cost-effective times, analog thermostats don't quite make the cut when it comes to providing a low-cost heat supply that does not have you dealing with inaccurate readouts and the loss of valuable heat when you forget to turn down the thermostat in your home.
Analog vs Digital Thermostats
The Need of the Hour – a Digital Thermostat
With the speed with which the world is going digital, is it any surprise that your old, trusty heating device has a better, more efficiently energy-conserving digital counterpart?
The thermostat is a valuable tool as it controls the heat supply and the air conditioning system in your home. Technological advancements have made possible glitzy 'cool' thermostats with options like a LED touchscreen display, intriguing designs, Wi-Fi facility, self-learning capability, accessibility to your smart phones and many more that will make you pause in surprise as to how far we have all come from our knob-and-button system, handy analog thermostats.
These mercury thermostats are literally being left behind in the dust as everyone is grabbing digital ones to be on top of their thermostat game.
A Quick Glance at Thermostat History
In 1620 England, a thermostat type controller device was first built to regulate the temperature of a chicken coop; at least that is the first instance of a thermostat to be actually recorded. And these rustic devices continued to be used as such till around 1830, when further advancements were made.
If you want to know about the oldest patent for an electric thermostat, it would be 1328427, which was applied for in 1915 by A. Goldstein and it was issued to him in 1920.
A quick search in the patent database reveals more than 340000 entries for the term 'thermostat'.
Understanding How Energy Savings Work in Modern Thermostats
The website of the Department of Energy states that digital thermostats are liable to save you as much as 15% on your energy bill annually, if these things are programmed or set properly. Even if you don't touch your brand new heating devices, you can save at least 5% on your total every bill.
Why do you save so much moolah on digital ones and not on analog thermostats?
The reason is simple – these new thermostats are equipped with the ability to program them according to your preferences. You can set automatic temperatures or even apply certain parameters for when you are not at home.
For example, if you set your AC from your analog thermostat to 71 degrees, it will continue to keep it cool at 71 degrees even when you have left home and do not need the cooling temperature. That's wasted energy and it leads to a heavier energy bill.
In house with a digital thermostat, you could set it so that the temperature goes up to 75-77 degrees and initiate cooling an hour or so before you come back home. This is how you save energy, and reap the benefits of a cool home without the hassle of fidgeting ts the settings on your analog.
Your HVAC system works according to you; not vice versa
Advantages & Disadvantages of Using an Analog Thermostat
The only benefit that these mercury based heating devices have these days is the lesser price rate than the digital ones. But that factor is easily negated in the long run, as temperature accuracy and a higher energy bill more than 'make up' for its lower cost.
Plus, you cannot set your analog thermostat using your smartphone or access it remotely, or learn temperature patterns. Then there is the fact that digital ones are just so much better looking with sleek, sophisticated designs and a display in full HD color.
Analog thermostats are mercury based and modern science reveals that mercury can be dangerous in your home. People have started to avoid fluorescent light bulbs and other products that require mercury to work, because an accidental spill could be hazardous to the health and safety of your family.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Using a Digital Thermostat
We have already discussed the key points when it comes to the benefits of using a digital thermostat – health and safety reasons, monetary benefits, convenience, accuracy etc.
It becomes obvious why many homeowners are enthusiastically getting these digital heating tools installed today.
Let's take a deeper look at the various advantages.
1. Energy Conservation
Everyone and their cat is going green today. Plus, in this economy saving money on utilities is important and a necessity. By programming your heating and cooling requirements into a digital thermostat ahead of time, you save maga bucks on your electricity bill. Choose the temperature you find most comfortable as per the time of day or night, not like the one-setting-24-hours system of an analog one.
One thing that has really simplified our lives is an accurate readout in a digital heating/cooling device.
Just think about it – an analog that has an inaccuracy factor of 3 degrees could cost you up to 7% in your heating bill during extreme winters. This could easily be hundreds of dollars of wastage of money and energy for certain homeowners.
2. Programmability
Forget about changing your thermostat setting every time you leave your home. Just pre-set according to your preferences and timings, and be on your way.
Saving money couldn't be more simpler or efficient!
There is is only one disadvantage to a digital thermostat – its higher price cost. But the initial investment more than pays itself off by saving you so much more on your electric bills annually.
Are You Scared of Going Digital?
Some homeowners are concerned about the programming capability of these advanced devices and whether or not they can operate one easily. We would advice that you go digital thermostat shopping and take a look at all the models available today.
Many are extremely simple to use and there is no cause for concern or confusion.
Digital Thermostats We Like
Nest Learning Thermostat – 2nd Generation T200577
A self-learning thermostat, this one comes jam-packed with all the cool features you may find in top-notch digital devices, with schedule changing settings that can be carried out from your phone, tablet or computer. The high cost will easily be paid off in an year or two in energy savings.
Honeywell RTH2300B1012/A 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat
Though this one does not have all the bells and whistles of the Nest one, it still delivers the savings. It does the job well, is easy to operate and has a much lower price cost than many other digital thermostats.
If you compare the features or perks of analog thermostats versus digital ones, it would be like comparing night with the day. The digital devices are so much better at controlling the heat and/or the cooling temperatures in your home or office.
If you're still on the fence about digital thermostats, you can try out a free tool/app online at DOE Programmable Thermostat Tool, where you can play with the features and settings and get a feel of how a digital thermostat actually works.

Care-free Car Keys
Introducing Toyota's Smart Key System [1]
Tired of pressing buttons and turning keys to unlock your car and get on your way? If your vehicle is equipped with Toyota's Smart Key System, you can open your doors and start the engine with almost no effort and zero turn of the wrist. How is this possible? And is it safe? Read on to find out.
How It Works
With Toyota's Smart Key System, you can unlock your driver's door (and passenger doors depending on the vehicle) by simply touching the handle. When you sit down, all you have to do is press the "engine start/stop" button to start the vehicle.
As long as you have your Smart Key fob somewhere in the vehicle or on your person, the vehicle will start. If you leave the key fob outside, several feet from the vehicle, it won't start. It's that sensitive.
Is It Secure?
Toyota's Smart Key System uses rolling codes, which means a new code is generated each time you enter your vehicle. This way, no one can use a different fob to open your doors or start your engine.
Toyota's Smart Key System is the future of car keys. One Smart Key works with only one car. It's secure, convenient and you'll never have to dig through your purse or briefcase to find those keys again.
For more information on Toyota's Smart Key System, take a look at our Owner's Manual section.

The CEOs of two of the world's biggest tech companies will face each other in a California courthouse on Monday as they seek to disentangle themselves from a patent dispute that has been hanging over the firms for more than a year.
The patent dispute kicked off in California in April 2011 when Apple accused Samsung of "slavishly" copying elements of the iPhone and iPad in the design of its Galaxy line of mobile handsets and tablets. Samsung countersued, claiming that the Cupertino-based company had infringed some of its patents. Since then, lawyers at both companies have been working overtime, filing around 50 patent-related lawsuits in 10 countries.
The two company bosses will meet in a courthouse in San Francisco, overseen by magistrate judge Joseph C. Spero. Both will be accompanied by their legal teams as they talk through the details of the dispute.
On Sunday, a leading executive at the South Korean electronics giant, JK Shin, told Reuters that Samsung was keen to find some common ground with Apple in a bid to sort out the ongoing issue.
"There is still a big gap in the patent war with Apple but we still have several negotiation options including cross-licensing," said Shin, who will be present at the talks.
Even if tomorrow's talks between the two companies go well, it's expected to be some time before any actual deal is reached. It's safe to say that the final chapter of the Apple-Samsung patent dispute story is far from being written.

Extiviumm± LISTEN TO THE RED SHAMAN reader perceives Sky Sylphs, and New Energies
It was the craziest thing for me earlier!! I was riding in the passenger side of the car and all of my attention turned to the sky for some reason. I saw a chem trail and i was thinking "the usual spotting near my house", but i saw what i remember you calling a sylph? then chem trail didnt appear visible behind the sylph, and it appeared to be cleaning the chem trail! i could kind of feel it! This has been happening to me lately, I've been feeling a lot of things i didn't before. Like sometimes i'll finish people's sentences for them like i know what they're going to say, and i might recognize someone without actually seeing their face, i just get a feel, and it's always right. I'm also seeing examples of how positive energy and love counteract negative energy. For example, my sister had yelled at me for something, and when i say yell i mean YELL. When she walked off i decided not to focus on that negative thing, but to instead focus on the things that are making me happy in my life
atm, and to not let any negative feelings pull me down. Next thing I know she came back and apologized, which is something she NEVER does. But i can feel good times ahead!

Twin stick shooters have been around for a while, but it's a very expansive genre and there are always opportunities for developers to offer their own interpretation. With Assault Android Cactus, Witch Beam has tried exactly that. There are numerous characters to choose from, there's high octane level design that will challenge gamers and a quirky art style that blends it all together. Assault Android Cactus ticks many of the right boxes.
Although you will only start off with a small selection of heroines in Assault Android Cactus, the roster will expand as you venture forth into the campaign. Each of the eight characters has distinctly different play styles and you may find that certain characters are more useful in different situations. For example, Starch can be good due to her long-range and concentrated fire, while Holly can be rather useful because her main weapon has a focussed spray that can thin out crowds of enemies with relative ease.
Each character has two weapons that they can use, with the secondary weapon accessible on a timer due to its ability to deal more damage to surrounding enemies. However, you will need to switch over which can leave you vulnerable for a split second, but can also lead to your chain being broken if you're too slow. It adds a nice risk/reward element to weapon switching, as quite often you will need to in order to stave off the waves of enemies that are diving straight at you.
There is a decent selection of zones and levels available for launch and it's pleasing to see how the team at Witch Beam have used the levels to keep the experience fresh throughout. They start off quite basic, but as you get further into the campaign they will start mutating, adding obstacles in your way and even producing hazardous parts that must be navigated around, all while trying to stay alive thanks to the onslaught of enemies.
The enemies themselves also have a good degree of variety. Some of them will attempt to attack you with melee, others will fire bullets and at later points you might enter in what can only be described as a bit of bullet hell. When you add in enemies that fire homing mines and shoot massive lasers, the challenge becomes clear. Although, it's so fast paced at times, with so much happening on screen, that you might not even be aware of the enemies you're killing.
On top of the expanding level and the copious amount of enemies attempting to kill you, you will also have to fight against your power reserves. As all of the heroines are reliant on some form of synthetics, they will need to top-up the battery to carry on functioning. Despite there being a life bar, this is essentially your life, as if your battery runs out of juice its game over. Picking up batteries that drop during levels isn't always that straight forward either, even when you're using numerous power-ups to speed around the level and boost up the strength of your weaponry.
It's these changes that helps to separate Assault Android Cactus from its contemporaries and elevate it to beyond simply being average. Twin-stick shooters can suffer from monotony, but the level design and general variety featured throughout prevent this from happening. To be a stickler though, once you take one of these dimensions away, cracks do start to show a little.
Upon completing the story, which shouldn't take all that long, you are given the choice of Infinity Drive and Daily Drive. Both of these are challenge-based modes where the difficulty increases the longer you stay alive, but they don't have the same level of variety shown with the levels you will face throughout the story. It's a shame, but it's an area that can look to be improved upon in future updates of the game.
Final Thoughts
If done right, a twin-stick styled shooter can be one of the most enjoyable games out there, and it's pleasing to say that Assault Android Cactus hits all the right buttons. It has plenty of characters, able to cater for differing play-styles, it has just the right amount of chaos and the bosses add a whole new dimension to the challenge. Throw in a booming soundtrack and you have a recipe for success. It just needs a bit more tender love and care on the side of longevity.
|Strong cast of characters.
|Good amount of variety when it comes to accommodated play-styles.
|Dynamic level design.
|Drive modes could offer more variety.
|Irrespective of play styles, some characters feel much weaker than others.
|Needs more end game content.

Honestly, I don't know why I'm putting any effort into caring about this joke any more. Someone make a compelling argument for a new sport and a new team for me to follow.
They will need to board up the building before that trade occurs. Then after the trade maybe the could sell 10,000 used arena seats to someone.

I hit them as hard as I could on the mouth right from the start of the game so they were thinking this was going to be a long day. Sooner or later one of us had to quit. And it wasn't going to be me.

well that meeting worked out well..

Look. We can go round and round about this all the live long day. Let's keep it simple. I embody amazement. Can you dig on that? Good. Then meet me on the corner of rock and roll, and bring a flask of something that burns.
No decent gm candidate will take the job.
Only non members of the 'Club' get fired.
There will be no change with this team because the clown show providing info and support for the gm is still there.
Don't get all giddy oiler fans.
Would you then assume that Koskinen is more of "the Oilers' guy" than "Chiarelli's guy"? If so, it solidifies that the issues in personnel run much deeper than just a lacklustre GM who made questionable moves.— Allison Currie (@AlleyDalley) January 23, 2019
This is SO true!

Until Nicholson, MacT, Lowe, Howson and Gretzky are gone, they will not get a dime of my money. They are all to blame.
Life is Good.
And now by them showing their hand this early in advance of the trade deadline, they have not only overpaid for too long an unproven, and I'm sure will turn out to be average at best goalie, they also now have driven Talbots trade value even lower than it already was. Could of actually been a bargaining chip if other teams came inquiring about him.
Even if we retained half of Talbot's salary, I can't see him having much value. A non contender won't bother, and a contender probably doesn't want even half that contract for a back-up, unless we take salary coming back, which we don't want or need.
With Talbot being a free agent this year, he would be a fairly cheap rental when you pro-rate his salary for the balance of the year. I could see a contending team with back-up uncertainty looking to add him. That's not a huge list, but considering we don't plan on re-signing him, anything for him would be a good trade.
"No dress rehearsal, this is our life" - Gord Downie
edit to add:
Maybe a Colorado as Varlamov hasn't been overly strong compared to usual and they have lots of cap room.
However, I don't know how their defense has looked. Or St. Louis?
The problem though is they wouldn't want to help someone they are battling with for the wild card spots.

"No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you." - Bo Burnham
My point is that he was good here. He didn't just leave and suddenly find his game. He was legit while he was here and for some reason was hated on.
"No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you." - Bo Burnham
"No dress rehearsal, this is our life" - Gord Downie
He could be one of those that just needs a change of scenery. When he doesn't get scored on early in a game, he actually plays pretty well more often than not, and even then he usually settles down and plays okay in the 2nd and 3rd. Maybe a team that can help ease him into the games could settle him down. If so, he could take a team on a bit of a run.
May just be wishful thinking, but with salary retained, I could see someone taking on half his remaining cap hit to bolster their goaltending depth. Currently on 50% retention he only cost a team about $800K on the cap and that number drops about $11K per day.
In terms of cap, demoting Bell would take another $250K off the impact of adding Cam and they have that space.
However, they probably want to help Jones out of his funk because of the contract and they've already burned their 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks. Can't imagine they'd want to move many more.
Last edited by bone; 01-25-2019 at 11:58 AM.
Cap is tracked daily, that is why teams often try to load up on cap space by doing daily demotions to accumulate space late in the year. Using the San Jose example, by staying below the cap most of the year, they've accumulated enough cap room to acquire a $3.7M dollar contract. If they made zero changes between today and deadline they'd have enough space to take on a $6.7M contract (though these numbers are not likely the final numbers as they only have 21 players on the roster, and the 22nd is on IR)
LTIR relief on the other hand can't be accumulate which is why the Oilers have been screwed in replacing Sekera's cap hit this year unless they'd know he would never return this season.
