On June 19, 2019, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) that was set up to investigate this incident issued warrants for four individuals that they hold responsible: They are three Ukrainian nationals and one Russian national. They were not the crew of the BUK missile launcher, but the men believed to be behind the transport and deployment of the Russian BUK missile launcher.
The Netherlands had already held Russia responsible at an earlier stage of the investigation because they found sufficient information to show that the BUK launcher originated from Russia and was manned by Russian soldiers. Bothe the Ukraine and Russia have laws against extradition of their nationals, so the chances of hearing from the suspects are slim-to-none. So how can we learn exactly what happened?

He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he has laid up his carriages:

EXPOSITORY (ENGLISH BIBLE)He is come to Aiath . . .—There is an obvious break between this and the preceding verse, and a new section begins, connected with the former by unity of subject, both referring to Sargon's invasion of Judah. That such an invasion took place at or about the time of that king's attack on Ashdod (Isaiah 20:1) the inscriptions leave no doubt. The Koujunyik cylinder names the king of Judah as having joined with the king of Ashdod; and in another, Sargon speaks of himself as "the subduer of the lands of Judah" (Layard, Inscriptions, xxxiii. 8). There is nothing in the passage itself to determine whether Isaiah 10:28-32 are predictive or historical, or when they were first uttered. Assuming that the Messianic prophecy of chap 11 is in close connection with them, it seems most probable that now, as in the earlier attack of Pekah and Rezin (Isaiah 7), as in the later invasion of Sennacherib (Isaiah 37), the bright vision of the future came to sustain the people when they were at their lowest point of depression. This would obviously be when Sargon's armies were actually encamped round the city, when they had reached the last halting-place of the itinerary which Isaiah traces out. We may infer accordingly that the Assyrian armies were then at or near Nob, and that the prophet, supplied, either by human agency or supernaturally, with a knowledge of the movements of the Assyrian armies, describes their progress to a terrified and expectant people, and fixes the final goal. That progress we now have to trace. (1) Aiath is probably identical with the Ai of Joshua 7:2, the Aija of Nehemiah 11:31, in the tribe of Benjamin, not far from Bethel. (2) Migron. The route taken was not the usual one, but passed over three valleys, probably with a view to surprise Jerusalem by an unexpected attack. The modern name, Bure Magrun, survives, a short distance from Bethel. (3) Michmash. Now Muchmas, on the east side of the Migron valley. Here the carriages, i.e., the baggage (Acts 21:15; 1Samuel 17:22), the impedimenta, of the Assyrian army was left behind that the host might advance with greater rapidity to immediate action. (4) Geba, in the tribe of Benjamin (1Chronicles 6:60). Here, after defiling through the "passages," probably the gorge of Wady Suweinit memorable for Jonathan s adventure (1Samuel 14:4-5), the army halted and encamped. (5) The panic spread rapidly to Ramah, memorable as the chief residence of Samuel (1Samuel 7:17). (6) The inhabitants of Gibeah, still retaining in its name its old association with the hero-king of Israel (1Samuel 11:4), left their town deserted and undefended. (7) Gallim, not now identifiable, but mentioned in 1Samuel 25:44. (8) Laieh, not the northern city of that name (Judges 18:29), but near Jerusalem. Read, Listen, O Laish, as if to the tramp of the armies as they passed. (9) Anathoth; about four miles north of Jerusalem, the birth-place of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1). There is a special pathos in the prophet's accents, anîyah Anathôth. A various reading adopted by many critics gives, Answer, O Anathoth. (10) Madmenah, or Madmen, appears in Jeremiah 48:2, as a Moabite city. The name ("dung-hill") was, however, not an uncommon one. It is named (Joshua 15:31) as one of the south-eastern cities of Judah. (11) The people of Gebim ("water-pits;" locality not identified) gather their goods for flight. (12) At last the army reaches Nob, memorable as having been one of the resting-places of the Tabernacle in the time of Saul (1Samuel 21:1). The site has not been identified with certainty, but it was obviously a position that commanded Jerusalem, between it and Anathoth, probably not far from the hill Scopos ("watch-tower") where Titus and his troops encamped during the siege of Jerusalem. The prophet's narrative leaves the invader there shaking his hand, as with defiant menace, against the holy city. For "that day," read this very day, fixing, as it were, the very hour at which Isaiah spoke.Isaiah 10:28-32. He is come to Aiath — Here the prophet returns to his former discourse concerning Sennacherib's invasion of Judah, of whose march toward Jerusalem, the route of his army, and their several stations, he gives so minute a detail, that though the description is a prophecy, he seems rather to speak like an historian, who is relating facts already past. This is the fifth part of the prophet's discourse, in which we have, 1st, the expedition of the Assyrian monarch, described in the most lively manner in these verses; and, 2d, the unhappy success of that expedition, with its consequences, Isaiah 10:33-34. The several places here mentioned, are those where Sennacherib may be supposed to have pitched his camp; and were most of them towns of Benjamin, though some were in Judah, as appears from other scriptures. He is passed to Migron — Namely, Sennacherib, in his way to Jerusalem. At Michmash he hath laid up his carriages — Leaving such things there as were less necessary, that so he might march with more expedition. They are gone over the passage — Some considerable passage, then well known. Gibeah of Saul is fled — The people fled to Jerusalem for fear of the Assyrians. Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim — Jerusalem was the mother city, and lesser towns were commonly called her daughters. O poor Anathoth — Hebrew, ענתות עניה, Aniah Anathoth, where the former word, rendered poor, relates to the signification of Anathoth; "a beauty frequently to be met with in the original of the sacred Scriptures, but which can seldom be preserved in any translation." He shall shake his hand against the mount of Zion — By way of commination. But, withal, the prophet intimates, that he should be able to do no more against it; and that there his proud waves should be stayed, as is declared in the following verses, and in the history.Isaiah 10:28-32 contain a description of the march of the army of Sennacherib as he approached Jerusalem to invest it. The description is expressed with great beauty. It is rapid and hurried, and is such as one would give who was alarmed by the sudden and near approach of an enemy - as if while the narrator was stating that the invader had arrived at one place, he had already come to another; or, as if while one messenger should say, that he had come to one place, another should answer that he was still nearer, and a third, that he was nearer still, so as to produce universal consternation. The prophet speaks of this as if he "saw" it (compare the note at Isaiah 1): as if, with the glance of the eye, he sees Sennacherib advancing rapidly to Jerusalem. The general course of this march is from the northeast to the southwest toward Jerusalem, and it is possible still to follow the route by the names of the places here mentioned, and which remain at present.
All the places are in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and this shows how much his rapid approach was suited to excite alarm. The name עית 'ayâth does not occur elsewhere; but עי 'ay is often mentioned, and עיא 'ayâ' is found in Nehemiah 11:31. Doubtless, the same city is meant. It was situated near Bethel eastward; Joshua 7:2. It was at this place that Joshua was repulsed on account of the sin of Achaz, though the city was afterward taken by Joshua, the king seized and hanged, and the city destroyed. It was afterward rebuilt, and is often mentioned; Ezra 2:28; Nehemiah 7:32. It is called by the Septuagint, Ἀγγαι Angai; and by Josephus, "Aina." In the time of Eusebius and Jerome, its site and scanty ruins were still pointed out, not far distant from Bethel toward the east. The name, however, has at present wholly perished, and no trace of the place now remains. It is probable that it was near the modern Deir Diwan, about three miles to the east of Bethel: "see" Robinson's "Bib. Researches," ii. pp. 119, 312, 313.
He is passed to Migron - That is, he does not remain at Aiath, but is advancing rapidly toward Jerusalem. This place is mentioned in 1 Samuel 14:2, from which it appears that it was near Gibeah, and was in the boundaries of the tribe of Benjamin, to the southwest of Ai and Bethel. No trace of this place now remains.
At Michmash - This was a town within the tribe of Ephraim, on the confines of Benjamin; Ezra 2:27; Nehemiah 7:31. This place is now called Mukhmas, and is situated on a slope or low ridge of land between two small wadys, or water-courses. It is now desolate, but bears the marks of having been a much larger and stronger place than the other towns in the neigchourhood. There are many foundations of hewn stones; and some columns are lying among them. It is about nine miles to the northeast of Jerusalem, and in the immediate neighborhood of Gibeah and Ramah. - Robinson's "Bib. Researches," ii. p. 117. In the time of Eusebius it was a large village. - "Onomast." Art. "Machmas."
He hath laid up his carriages - Hebrew, 'He hath deposited his weapons.' The word rendered "hath laid up" - יפקיד yapeqı̂yd - may possibly mean, "he reviewed," or he took an account of; that is, he made that the place of "review" preparatory to his attack on Jerusalem. Jerome says, that the passage means, that he had such confidence of taking Jerusalem, that he deposited his armor at Michmash, as being unnecessary in the siege of Jerusalem. I think, however, that the passage means simply, that he had made Michmash one of his "stations" to which he had come, and that the expression 'he hath deposited his armor there,' denotes merely that he had come there as one of his stations, and had pitched his camp in that place on the way to Jerusalem. The English word "carriage," sometimes meant formerly, "that which is carried," baggage, vessels, furniture, etc. - "Webster." In this sense it is used in this place, and also in 1 Samuel 17:22; Acts 21:15.
come to—come upon as a sudden invader (Ge 34:27).
Aiath—same as Ai (Jos 7:2; Ne 7:32). In the north of Benjamin; so the other towns also; all on the line of march to Jerusalem.
Michmash—nine miles northeast of Jerusalem.
laid up … carriages—He has left his heavier baggage (so "carriages" for the things carried, Ac 21:15) at Michmash, so as to be more lightly equipped for the siege of Jerusalem. So 1Sa 17:22; 25:13; 30:24 [Jerome and Maurer].He is come to Aiath: here the prophet returns to his former discourse concerning the Assyrian invasion into Judah; which he describes, after the manner of the prophets, as a thing present, and sets down the several stages by which he marched towards Jerusalem. The places here named are most of them towns of Benjamin, and some of Judah, as appears from other scriptures; of which it is needless to say more in this place.
He, to wit, Sennacherib, king of Assyria,
is come in his way to Jerusalem.
He hath laid up his carriages; leaving such things there as were less necessary, that so he might march with more expedition. Heb. he visited his vessels or instruments; which may be meant of his taking a survey of his army and artillery, to see that all things were ready for his enterprise. Joshua 7:2 and though it was burnt, and made desolate by Joshua, Joshua 8:28 yet it was afterwards rebuilt, for it was in being in Nehemiah's time; or at least there was a place of this name, which was upon or near the spot where this stood, since it is mentioned with Geba, Michmash, and Bethel, Nehemiah 11:31 according to the ancient Jewish writers (w), it lay three miles from Jericho. Jerom (x) calls it Agai, and says that in his time there was scarce any remains of it, only the place was shown.
He is passed to Migron; this place, as the former, was in the tribe of Benjamin; mention is made of it, as in the uttermost part of Gibeah, 1 Samuel 14:2. Sennacherib seems not to have stayed either in this, or the former place:
at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages; here was a passage, called the passage of Michmash, where was the garrison of the Philistines; and on each side of it were two rocks, one called Bozez, and the other Seneh; one of which fronted Michmash to the north, and the other Gibeah to the south, 1 Samuel 13:23 by Josephus (y) it is called Mechmas, a city; and so it is in the Apocrypha:
"Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.'' (1 Maccabees 9:73)
In Jerom's time it was a very large village, who says it was nine miles from Jerusalem (z): mention is made of it in the Misna (a), as famous for the best fine flour; and this the king of Assyria made his magazine, and in it laid up his provisions and warlike stores, from whence he might be supplied upon occasion. The words may be rendered, "he hath laid up his arms"; and Kimchi thinks he left the greatest part of his arms here, and went in haste to Jerusalem, imagining he should have no occasion for them, but should easily take it. The Targum is,
"at Micmas he shall appoint the princes of his army;''
the generals of it: perhaps the sense is, that here he made a muster of his army, examined the arms of his soldiers, appointed the proper officers, and gave them their instructions.
(w) Shemot Rabba, sect. 32. fol. 135. 2.((x) De locis Hebraicis, fol. 87. E. (y) Antiqu. l. 6. c. 6. sect. 1. & l. 13. c. 1. sect. 6. (z) De locis Hebraicis, fol. 93. F. (a) Menachot, c. 8. sect. 1.He is come to {y} Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath attended to his carriages:
(y) He describes by what way the Assyrians would come against Jerusalem, to confirm the faithful, when it would come to pass, that as their plague was come, so should they be delivered.
EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)Verses 28-32. - This graphic portraiture of the march of an Assyrian army on Jerusalem is probably not historic, but prophetic. Isaiah sees it in vision (Isaiah 1:1), and describes it like an eye-witness. There are at present no sufficient means of deciding to what particular attack it refers, or indeed whether the march is one conducted by Sennacherib or Sargon. Sargon calls himself in one inscription "conqueror of the land of Judah" (Layard, 'Inscriptions,' 33:8), and the details of the present prophecy, especially ver. 9, suit the reign of Sargon rather than that of his son, so that on the whole it is perhaps most probable that some expedition of Sargon's is portrayed. Verse 28. - He is come to Aiath. "Aiath" is probably Ai (Joshua 8:1-28), with a feminine termination. It lay about three miles south of Bethel, which had become Assyrian with the conquest of Samaria. If an Assyrian army mustered at Bethel, it would naturally enter Judaean territory at Ai. He is passed to Migron; rather, he has passed through Migron. "Migron" is mentioned as a village in the territory of Gibeah of Benjamin (1 Samuel 14:2); but the Migron of this passage must have been further to the north. He hath laid up his carriages; i.e. "has left his baggage-train." Michmash was about seven miles nearly due north of Jerusalem. The heavy baggage might conveniently be left there, especially as it was difficult of attack (1 Samuel 14:4-13), while a lightly equipped body of troops made a dash at Jerusalem. 1 Kings 20:40); and this destruction "overflowed with righteousness," or rather "flowed on (shōtēph, as in Isaiah 28:18) righteousness," i.e., brought forth righteousness as it flowed onwards, so that it was like a swell of the penal righteousness of God (shâtaph, with the accusative, according to Ges. 138, Anm. 2). That cillâyōn is not used here in the sense of completion any more than in Deuteronomy 28:65, is evident from Isaiah 10:23, where câlâh (fem. of câleh, that which vanishes, then the act of vanishing, the end) is used interchangeably with it, and necherâtzâh indicates judgment as a thing irrevocably decided (as in Isaiah 28:22, and borrowed from these passages in Daniel 9:27; Daniel 11:36). Such a judgment of extermination the almighty Judge had determined to carry fully out ('ōseh in the sense of a fut. instans) within all the land (b'kereb, within, not b'thok, in the midst of), that is to say, one that would embrace the whole land and all the people, and would destroy, if not every individual without exception, at any rate the great mass, except a very few.

'Chicago Trib' Details Greene's Misconduct
By: Don Babwin, Associated Press Writer
(AP) Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene, who resigned over the weekend, had a sexual encounter with a teenager whom he met in his office while she was working on a high school project, the newspaper reported Monday.
Quoting sources familiar with the incident, the paper said Greene wrote about her in his column, asked her to dinner, and had a sexual encounter with her. The story quoted sources as saying that Greene acknowledged the encounter, which happened more than a decade ago, to Tribune executives and that the woman was of the age of legal consent at the time.
The paper announced the resignation of its longtime columnist in a front page note Sunday.
In a lengthy story in Monday's editions, Tribune executives refused to discuss details of the resignation. It said an internal investigation had been triggered by an e-mail to the paper's news tip line.
Greene, 55, told The Associated Press in an e-mail Sunday that there have been "indiscretions in my life that I am not proud of." He did not specifically address the conduct that led to his resignation. "I don't have the words to express the sadness I feel," Greene wrote. "I am very sorry for anyone I have let down, including the readers who have for so long meant so much to me."
He said he needed "to be with my family and loved ones." He and his wife, who were married in 1971, have two children.
In a telephone call, Greene declined to discuss the matter further.
Greene has written extensively on social issues and American life in columns that appeared in the Tribune four times a week and were syndicated for newspapers around the country. In 1998, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for columns on local children whose lives were mishandled by the judicial and welfare systems. He has also written several books, including "Hang Time: Days and Dreams with Michael Jordan," and provided commentary on Tribune-owned WGN-TV.
The story quoted sources as saying that during the last year the woman phoned Greene twice. The day after the second call, the paper reported, the woman was allegedly contacted by FBI agents who suggested that she may be posing a threat to the columnist. Carrie McCune, spokeswoman for the FBI's Chicago office, said Monday that the office was attempting to figure out whether Greene had made any complaint.
Greene's last column appeared in the Tribune on Wednesday.
In her statement printed Sunday, Editor Ann Marie Lipinski wrote, "Greene's behavior was a serious violation of Tribune ethics and standards for its journalists. We deeply regret the conduct, its effect on the young woman, and the impact the disclosure has on the trust our readers placed in Greene and this newspaper."
Greene's resignation was "a gut-wrenching shock to me," said Paul Galloway, a retired Tribune staff writer. He said he met Greene when the two began working at the Chicago Sun-Times on the same day in 1969 and called Greene a colleague and friend.

Pakistan fans mock yawning captain Sarfaraz as team suffers World Cup defeat to India
The two neighbors met for their group stage encounter at Old Trafford in Manchester in a match that continued a rivalry between the two neighbors that is seen as transcending sport.
An estimated 1 billion fans tuned in as the cricket-mad populations of the two countries watched back home, while Manchester was also turned into a riot of color as British Indian and Pakistani fans massed.Also on rt.com WATCH: Pakistan cricket fan arrives ON HORSE to see team face India in World Cup
Despite big fears of rain ruining the match before it had started, things did get underway as planned as Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz won the toss and put India in to bat, perhaps judging that the overcast conditions would be conducive to bowling early on.
That decision appeared to go against the advice of Pakistan prime minister and cricket legend Imran Khan, who tweeting before the game had said wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfaraz should bat first if he won the toss.

In the event, the decision backfired as India ended on 336 for 5 from their 50 overs, with opening batsman Rohit Sharma leading the way with a blistering knock of 140 while fellow opener KL Rahul made 57 and skipper Virat Kohli hit 77.
The rain did eventually arrive to bring significant disruption to the Pakistan innings, restricting them to 40 overs as they ended on 212 for 6, with India claiming an 89-run victory via the DLS method.

While Indian fans rejoiced at Old Trafford and beyond, many Pakistani fans took to social media to vent their anger – in particular after skipper Sarfaraz appeared to be caught yawning while in the field.

Some fans compared Sarfaraz - who made just 12 runs with the bat - to India skipper Kohli, who was superb as he helped his team to a sizeable score.

Others, including former international bowler Shoaib Akhtar, called the sleepy skipper out for his decision to bowl first.

The result means Pakistan's World Cup chances hang in the balance, as they slipped to a third defeat in four completed games at the tournament - with one game being washed out.
In contrast, India are flying after picking up their third win from three completed games, as well as one game washed out - while they also extended their unbeaten run against their neighbors at the World Cup.

India are looking good to qualify for the knockout stages in their bid to win a third World Cup, while for Sarfaraz an early night might be in order before Pakistan face the rest of the tournament.

Hair Fall is one of the very common issues.

My Hair Diaries – January 2013
New year and new starts and I have again started taking care of my hair. Again the start was fresh and the first thing I did was chop off my hair to get rid of the split ends and damaged hair. I could not take a pic of my hair this time so excuse the missing pic. Also, my 10 days travel had affected my routine a bit and the products I carried were not the regular ones. Also, I did not use conditioner for those 10 days. But, there is one important observation I want to share. I have … [Read more...] about My Hair Diaries – January 2013

A couple of days back, I received two-three queries as to how to control hair fall due to hard water. When we shift places and go to a new place, hair fall is kinda inevitable.

Hair Care during and after Pregnancy {Pregnancy}
A normal, healthy person sheds about 50 to 100 (or up to 200 because of the lifestyle choices) strands of hair every day, and most of these hairs grow back. A healthy hair has a life cycle of about three to six years, depending on your termination length. Hair loss becomes a problem when the hair do not grow back or when hair sheds at an abnormally rapid rate (several hundreds hairs per day), the latter case generally seen during pregnancy. A hair's life has three phases - growing phase, … [Read more...] about Hair Care during and after Pregnancy {Pregnancy}

What Am I Supposed To Do?
Mhkhoja posted a topic in Jurisprudence/LawsOkay so I think I seriously have OCD, not to the level where I want to kill myself to end the misery but its bad enough to take most of my mental space. First the basics, every time I sit to pee, I feel like its splashing on my under thigh, the area thats exposed underneath while sitting. and since I feel splashes, I end up doing a lot of washing every time I pee, the front the back the everything. And even though its distressing At least I feel clean at the end of it. Currently I live in Pakistan so we have ample of water in the toilets and proper drainage to avoid flooding in the toilets. But I will be going to the UK for studies and these privileges wont be enjoyed there... and since I was wondering I need to find a way to be able to use the public toilets there without causing a flood, I had an idea this morning. I was just trying it out... so I decided I'll pee while standing, I threw some tissue paper in the seat and I kinda aimed at it so it absorbs the urine, and then I'll flush it out no splashes, minimal washing(as I said I think I have OCD). So when I was at it, it kinda felt like i had splashes of my left leg, now I wasn't sure if there were actual splashes or my mind playing games on me because I was watching very closely as the pee went in the pot and I didn't see any splashes, so I ran my hand on my leg to feel for wetness, I didn't feel anything and I kind smelt my hand later, no odour either. At that time I didn't want to leave the place unclean so I practically showered and washed the floor and all. Now for the sensible side in me; first of all I have a theory, I think my mind just plays games on me and there aren't any splashes, either while sitting OR when i was standing, cause I have tried sitting and not peeing and I still feel some thing on my lower thigh (At this point I realise I sound totally looney) my theory is that since I take my pants off the hair on my legs kinda adjust to being not in pants and thats what feels like splashes... but I don't know how to be sure. And I know the rules regarding doubts are, that when you are not sure that something's gotten najis, ignore the doubt. How am I supposed to do this when the outcome of not washing everything are seemingly disastrous. Please, please, please help.
Having waswas. Continue prayers?
wrda93 posted a topic in General Islamic DiscussionAssalamualaikum, Last month, my fiance keep on having this involuntary thoughts about religion. He will keep questioning himself "why non muslims are born that way", "isnt it unfair for them to born that way and believe that way" and recently, he asked me "how people living in the forest able to perform their islamic duties." Previously, he ever encountered this before twice, but his able to overcome them by leaving prayers. According to him, everytime he perform prayers, it will hit him 3 times harder- the thoughts and his whole body will aches and he can't concentrate on his prayers. Previously he did seek help from various ustaz regarding his condition, but similarly nothing works and causing him more pain. Last month when he encountered this again, he told me. Most probably Allah is angry with him as previously he gets better without praying, as if he had forgotten about Him. True fact his not because he was too phobia with the thoughts and pain. He can't even stepped out of the house and continue his daily life because its hitting him harder than before. And till today, he continue praying and seek guidance but similarly, he can't concentrate with his prayers. I did came across a post saying that "a person with this constant waswas condition, he should't be constantly praying, and perform any extra worship but only the wajib prayers." isit true?
Guest posted a topic in General Islamic DiscussionSalam walikum I have sensed many people claim jinns really enter the body of a person.But that's not true.That's called mania.Even IBN SINA has said in his book that its impossible. It can be religious mania where people might claim stupid things and even can get super powerful that even 4 to 5 people will not able to control such people. Mania is also caused because of depression. And some depression makes a person low in their lives. I have experienced mania in my house my uncle got super powerful strength that made me assume it might be a jinn and he even tried to commit sucide etc but allhamadolillah its being cured BY HOMOEPATHY doctor while alopathy doctor where only able to give you some salts which never cured it. Classic Homeopathy cured mania ,ocd,depression,suicidal problems,mood change,any kinda depression or disease.The most renowned homeopathic doctors is George Vithoulkas . homoepathy is of two types (1)classical one other (2) is theuropetic one(non orthodox) Homoepathy has taken its principal from the book of ibn sina known as kanon of medicine. These depression problems are also cured by BATCH FLOWER REMEDIES which have 0 percent side effects. imam jaffer sadiq(as) has said-The disease origantes from the mind(THATS HOMOEPATHY PRINCIPLES),the disease originates from the soul(its batch flower remedy),the disease originates from the body(that's cured by prayers). But homeopathy works better in JINN KINDA problems ,ocd and mental cases. batch flower remedy is basically for less depressive people.
OCD intrusive thoughts appear in dreams?
Askari313 posted a topic in General Islamic DiscussionSo I was wondering can intrusive thoughts appear in your dreams continuously? If so where does that fall into all the spiritual aspects of dreams told to us about the Ahlulbayt (a.s) and the Quran? Would they considered muddled dreams? If so, then what does it mean when it appears at Fajr?

Managing People:
Back to the Basics
This seminar was formerly known as So, You're a Manager Now: Tools to Become a Better Supervisor.
- What We'll Cover Together
- Who Should Attend
- When & Where
- Meet Your Presenter
- FAQs & Support
- Cost & Registration
What We'll Cover Together
Are you brand new to managing people and making it up as you go along? Or an old pro who's feeling in need of a refresh? If the answer to either question is yes, then this is the seminar for you. Over the course of two content-packed days we'll spend time discussing and practicing skills and tools to make your life – and the lives of those you work with – better.
From the power of listening and asking effective questions to the art and science of giving meaningful and useful feedback, participants will explore and practice skills to communicate more clearly, deliver effective and useful feedback, assess employee engagement, and meet the needs of direct reports in meaningful ways.
This seminar has been pre-approved for Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits (12 CE hours) by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement.
Who Should Attend
Anyone on a management career track, new managers, and folks who've been supervising or managing for years and are eager to refresh or expand their skills.
If any of these sound familiar, this might be the seminar for you:
- You've got manager, supervisor, or director in your title (or not!) and other people report to you.
- You've got subject matter expertise in the day-to-day of your job, but you're totally winging it when it comes to supervising staff.
- The idea of giving feedback makes you want to hide in the mop closet.
- You're committed to helping the people who report to you do and be their very best.
When & Where
- Day 1: Monday, January 20, 2020 – 8:30am to 5pm
- Day 2: Tuesday, January 21, 2020 – 8:30am to 5pm
The seminar will be held in Austin, TX. Exact location details are coming soon!
Stay tuned for more info!

FAQs & Support
- Can I register more than one attendee for the same seminar? Because our seminars are highly interactive and involve full-group discussions, we encourage organizations who intend to send more than one person to a seminar to carefully consider how pre-existing relationships, organizational structures, and power differentials may effect an individual's capacity to participate and share openly and fully. In the end, you know your people and they know each other (and hopefully themselves!) – and we trust your judgment. So, if you've read this and feel a-ok about sending multiple people to the same training (and don't let us discourage you!), then register away!
- Will there be food at the seminar? Yes. We will provide coffee, snacks, beverages, and lunch on both days.
- What should I wear? Our only recommendation is that you dress comfortably and casually.
- Do I need to bring anything? Just a smile and an open mind!
If you have questions or need assistance with registration, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Cost & Registration
The cost to register $600/person, which includes lunch on both days of the seminar and all seminar materials. Please note that the last day to register is January 5th, 2020.

History of the Terracotta Warriors
Looking for more information on the history of Terracotta Warriors? 2200 years ago along side the 1st Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di, 8000 Terracotta Warriors were buried. The "Army" is made up of soldiers, horses, chariots, bowmen and archers, and each figure is life sized and each has a unique face and details. Approximately 700,000 workers and craftsmen took part in the construction of the 1st Emperor's mausoleum, an effort that lasted more than 36 years.
Pit #1 was discovered in 1974 when local farmers in the Shanxi Provence were sinking a water well, Pits #2 an #3 were discovered in 1976 as a result of exploratory drilling by the Qin Figure Archaeological team. It is thought the warriors were created to protect the immortality-obsessed Emperor in the afterlife, the warriors are lined up in formation in the pits to protect the Emperor. A 4th Pit was apparently left empty by its builders, suggesting that the full tomb "army" was not completed before the Emperor's death. Qin's actual burial chamber at the center of the complex has yet to be excavated.
The tombs were looted less than five years after Emperor Qin's death by a rival army, which set fire that destroyed the wooden structures housing the warriors, damaging most of them. The actual place where the fire began can still be observed at the pit today so visitors walking through the pit area can clearly see it.
Qin who died in 210 B.C. at the age of 50, created China's first unitary state by conquering rival kingdoms. He built an extensive system of roads and canals along with an early incarnation of the Great Wall. He also unified measurements and established a single written language, currency and legal statutes.

But it's not that you have to do more things in less time. Instead, it's about getting more out of the tasks you normally do by reducing distractions. Deep Work is about working smarter, not harder.

The author attributes everything during this period to the Arab rule of the Abbasids, yet in fact many different dynasties and empires arose that operated autonomously, and were led by different ethnicities. Also, it would be nice if it had more maps showing the expansion of the different empires and kingdoms, since some of us are not that familiar with the regions mentioned in the book. Ostensibly, this to appear more secular, detached, and academic of course, he seems to throw this out the window when writing the material of the book itself. Aug 22, Hina rated it it was amazing Shelves: Historical figures like the Ghaznavid and Ghorid rulers that are generally seen as foreign plunderers in India have been elevated to great proponents of Islam by Firas.

Even though the book is very informative, the concept of each chapter was emotionally mentioned and expressed. I think I'm losing my touch, because I can't focus as well when trying to read on public transit. The Caliphate did not fall because the Muslims tetpisah betrayed it, or because the Jews, or even the western conspiracy, it fall because it was outdated and not proportionate with the current circumstances, as the Islamist will always fail to raise their concept because they are also outdated and not proportionate Moving on to the negative side of the book: He founded and writes the website lostislamichistory.
The book continues to get worse by taking the traditional nationalist propaganda route of victimhood, the reductive and convenient other, and more bad scholarship. Towards this end, the author writes lengthy listicles noting different scientific achievements of Muslim society, and appropriates a few from others along the way.
The author mentions the House of Wisdom, his convenient center to the Golden Age, but it is questionable if it was ever so important. I am a fan of the Twitter site, but I think a lot more is needed for this to work as vouple history book.

However, are their greatest achievements then not the principles themselves? The Umayyads, Abbasids, and Ottomans feature in the story, as do Muslim Spain, terplsah savannah kingdoms of West Africa and the Mughal Empire, along with the later European colonization of Muslim lands and the development of modern nation-states in the Muslim world.
There has long been a need for something accessible covering post 7th century Islamic History. One thing is clear though as long as the rulers and people followed the teachings of Islam they saw massive successes in every field but when they indulged in musllm gains and petty politics it ended in chaos for them and their people.

This android game feels iust like Ellen's show. Being as huge of an Ellen fan as I am, we all know that this android game is awesome. It feels like I'm a part of the present when I've never gotten to be on it before. Well, there are only such things as wishes!
I love Ellen so much, and I do love this game. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is be a use I want u didn't habe to play the same android game over and over again to begin a fresh android game there should be 2cgames begin so u can alternate. But othercthan,that once I obtain all the android games begin I will be having a amazing time playing!! Is there anything Ellen can't do??
Interesting concept, amazing sense of humor. looks like the begin of something better. But it has that mechanic of 4 prize slots, can only begin one every x hours, unless you pay to begin faster. There's no method to save a android game with that design, so uninstalled. Please consider something else. That ruins the game.
In my opinion there are a lot of props and hero but if we add more it take more application why create a download in android game like most desktop android game engine when we need it.And add downloaded texture and can add/replaces texture on object(if u wish do it).
Insanely awesome Android game Engine ever created for Android device it runs awesome well this Application has the potential to be the #1 Android game Engine that runs on tablet hold it up Devs! just fews suggestions and tools request please Add the manual Android game icon i mean i wish to add my own Android game icon that i made not ones from presets:) and also Add Texture Material creation able to add Diffuse, Roughness, Metalness and texture Maps that are used in the android games export Options add windows Exe export help
hahahaha these things does not exist , that's all fake, no application can improve your phone processing power, the hardware is , it is what it is, nothing can change it, you should buy fresh devices, software can support but won't work for solving lagg issues or frame drop newer hardware brings better programming scripts and a excellent processor in this time won't be best after 2 yeah or next year android device already does has all these this all is not necessary, FAKE .
Updated. hmm Okay.... I apologize for being rude. but the application is not working correctly still. auto boost, ping boost, and FPS overlay in the advance section of settings don't do anything. They're not working. ALSO, where's the android game tuner?? I can't tune my android game at all.... there are no settings to increase performance of the android game nor any things to change resolution. I actually wish this application to work please.... and in the future I have some suggestions, email me if u wish my ideas :-|

Has The Trade War Taken A Bite Out Of China's Economy? Yes — But It's Complicated By Jolie Myers, Ailsa Chang, Sam Gringlas & Mallory Yu • Oct 10, 2019 In the industrial city of Dongguan, China, the effects of the trade war on the Chinese economy are measured in idled machinery and empty bar stools. "One year ago, you probably couldn't even get through the crowd because it would be so busy. But right now, even the smallest vendors can't survive," says Song Guanghui, the owner of Crowdbar, a tricked-out food stall in an open-air market in Dongguan. Communist China Turns 70. Who Shares Its Economic Growth? By Jolie Myers, Ailsa Chang, Mallory Yu & Sam Gringlas • Oct 1, 2019 Seventy years ago, Mao Zedong appeared on a balcony overlooking Tiananmen Square and conjured a new country into being. On Tuesday, Xi Jinping, arguably the strongest leader since Mao, appeared on that same balcony to reaffirm his vision of modern China. That vision includes what Xi has repeatedly referred to as the "Chinese Dream," one pillar of which is the idea that all Chinese should have access to the shared prosperity of the nation. Common Takes Time To Heal On 'Let Love' By Ailsa Chang & Lauren Hodges • Sep 2, 2019 Common is no stranger to showing emotion. With more than 20 years in the spotlight, the Chicago-hailing rapper, actor and activist has worn his heart on his sleeve publicly for years and won plenty of accolades for it. Common is one of the few distinguished artists to have won an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar award in the span of his career. 'One Child Nation' Documentary Explores The Dark Side Of Chinese Policy By Ailsa Chang • Aug 13, 2019 Filmmaker Nanfu Wang grew up in rural China under the country's one-child policy, which was announced in 1979 and not officially rescinded until 2015. Born in 1985, Wang never knew a life without it — as a kid, she remembers seeing propaganda promoting the rule everywhere. "At some point, it just became a normal part of life, just like the air, the water, the tree," she says. "And you just stop paying attention, stop questioning, because it has always been there." There were propaganda matchboxes, lunchboxes, murals and songs on TV. In 'Unspeakable,' A Journalist Gives Silence An Investigative Treatment By Ailsa Chang • May 14, 2019 Journalist Harriet Shawcross is fascinated by silence: why we speak, and why we don't. She's traveled the world seeking answers to those questions, meeting earthquake survivors in Nepal, a silent order of nuns in Paris, a Buddhist retreat in Scotland. She's written a book about it, called Unspeakable: The Things We Cannot Say. 'Fast Color' Celebrates A Supermom Who Literally Moves Heaven And Earth By Ailsa Chang • Apr 19, 2019 Moms perform heroic tasks every day, but they rarely get portrayed as superheroes. That changes in the new film Fast Color, which tells the story of three generations of black women — a daughter, a mother and a granddaughter — all of whom have supernatural powers. How The Trump Administration's Transgender Troop Ban Is Affecting One Military Family By Lauren Hodges & Ailsa Chang • Apr 11, 2019 Lt. Col. Bree "B" Fram left a doctor's office on April 2. Presenting that day as Bryan, the name given to them at birth, B should have been relieved. "Overall, it's a good thing," said B. "It just didn't feel great to have to do it on someone else's timeline other than my own." "It" was an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria. As a transgender member of the military, B had to secure the diagnosis by April 12 in order to continue serving openly. Susan Choi Takes Her Teenagers Seriously By Ailsa Chang • Apr 9, 2019 The new novel Trust Exercise opens with teenagers attending an elite performing arts high school in the 1980s. There, the theater kids form heartfelt friendships and relationships, and then sabotage them. Their semi-tyrannical drama teacher both inspires and manipulates them — with his "trust exercises." Midway through, the book leaps forward in time and perspective. One of the students, Karen, is now an adult, re-thinking her past.

"There's been kids who have approached me and say, 'Hey, you should burn in hell.' " Robinson is a high school senior in Allendale, Mich., a small but growing town about 30 minutes outside Grand Rapids and smack dab in the middle of what's known as the state's "Bible Belt." Drive off the main road and you quickly find yourself in farm country. Can We Overcome Racial Bias? 'Biased' Author Says To Start By Acknowledging It By Ailsa Chang • Mar 28, 2019 Jennifer Eberhardt has been interested in issues of race and bias since she was a child.

Then, one day, Eberhardt's parents announced the family was moving to the Cleveland suburb of Beachwood. When Eberhardt arrived there, she told NPR's Ailsa Chang, she noticed something strange: She could no longer tell people's faces apart. It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's ... A Dog Dangling From A Helicopter?! By Ailsa Chang • Mar 27, 2019 A new IMAX movie opens with a rescue worker named Henry dangling from a helicopter, working to save a skier trapped in an avalanche. Henry wears a vest and goggles and, oh, by the way, is a border collie. "Henry is like the real-life James Bond of dogs," says Daniel Ferguson, director of Superpower Dogs. The film follows six remarkable dogs who work in fields such as avalanche and water rescue, endangered species protection, and emotional support. Jordan Peele Looked Into The Mirror And Saw The Evil Inside 'Us' By Ailsa Chang • Mar 22, 2019 The new movie Us, Jordan Peele's follow-up to Get Out, is a horror movie. It starts with a black family on vacation. They go to the beach; dad buys a boat. Then things start getting creepy. One night, another family dressed in red jumpsuits shows up in front of the house. And each member of this new family — mom, dad, sister, brother — is an identical copy of the family inside. They're doppelgangers. 'The New Me' Is Meh About Ambition And Adulthood By Ailsa Chang • Mar 19, 2019 Once, when Halle Butler was working as a temp, she was taken to a file room filled floor-to-ceiling with old documents and told that her job was to shred them. "The whole thing had kind of a feeling of the beginning of the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale where she has to spin all the stuff into gold — except that I was creating garbage," Butler says. Butler's novel The New Me explores what it's like to work in a dead-end office job. Her story focuses on a 30-year-old woman named Millie who wanders from temp job to temp job.

Federal Legislation Seeks Ban On Shackling Of Pregnant Inmates By Ailsa Chang • Dec 5, 2018 As Congress prepares to adjourn for the holidays, one piece of legislation that's still on the table is a bipartisan criminal justice bill known as the First Step Act. It aims to improve federal prison conditions and reduce some prison sentences, a sticking point for some lawmakers. But the bill also contains a less controversial provision: a ban on shackling pregnant women. Incarcerated people outside prison walls are considered potential flight risks. That label applies even to pregnant women when they leave prisons for medical care or to give birth. In Love With Teen Lit: Remembering The 'Paperback Crush' Of The '80s And '90s By Ailsa Chang • Dec 3, 2018 A couple years ago, author Gabrielle Moss was feeling "worn down by the world" and found herself impulse buying an entire crate of "Sweet Valley High" books on eBay for $25.

In her new book Insane: America's Criminal Treatment of Mental Illness, Roth investigates the widespread incarceration of the mentally ill in the U.S., and what she sees as impossible burdens placed on correctional officers to act as mental health providers when they're not adequately trained. In 'The New Face Of America,' Journalist Alex Wagner Saw Herself By Ailsa Chang • Apr 24, 2018 In 1993, Alex Wagner saw a familiar face on the cover of Time magazine: It was a computer-generated picture of a multiethnic woman who reminded her of ... herself.

Zhuang Liehong is one of those immigrants. He arrived in 2014 from Wukan, a small village in the Guangdong province of southern China. When he first arrived in Flushing, he says it felt like a city in China. "Other than the buildings and Chinese store signs, just look at the pedestrians on the streets," he says.

Renewed Calls For Patriotism Over Politics When Drawing District Lines By Ailsa Chang • Sep 29, 2017 KELLY MCEVERS, HOST: Next week the Supreme Court will hear arguments about whether state lawmakers in Wisconsin went too far in preserving their political power. The case could be the first time the justices set limits on what's known as partisan gerrymandering. That's when the party in power deliberately redraws district lines to keep control of the legislature.
