Global mobile connections reach 4 billion
|12 февраля 2009
Mobile broadband users near 100 million; GSMA expects total number of mobile connections to hit 6 billion by 2013.
Global mobile connections have now reached the 4 billion mark, announced the GSMA Wednesday.
And, citing statistics from Wireless Intelligence, the industry body predicted that the world will hit six billion connections by 2013.
The GSMA said the growth is primarily being driven by the integration of mobile technology into previously unconnected devices, and subscriber additions in emerging markets.
Mobile broadband connections account for 100 million of the 4 billion connections, as the uptake of 3G dongles and mobile broadband-enabled laptops has accelerated.
In August the GSMA reported that the number of HSPA mobile broadband connections stood at 50 million.
However, it is difficult to calculate the exact number of mobile users worldwide, since many consumers in mature have more than one handset, while consumers in emerging markets often share devices.
The GSMA also said Wednesday that innovations in mobile technology can help drive productivity in a slowing economy.
"As we enter 2009, the world is in the midst of a broad economic slowdown, one that is impacting every facet of business, every link in the communications value chain," said Michael O'Hara, chief marketing officer at the GSMA, in a statement.
"Industry initiatives in the areas of mobile broadband, mobile lifestyle and mobile planet will help drive this innovation and growth despite the challenges of the global economic downturn," he said.
The announcement was made ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which is run by the GSMA.
"Mobile phones have evolved to become broadband-enabled multimedia devices that connect mass markets in mature and emerging markets alike," said O'Hara.
"Mobile World Congress will showcase how the industry will continue to push the boundaries into the mobile future," he said.

The reality is different from the perception. Here I was in self-imposed exile, mostly involved, in a self-flagellation, about my lack of interest in photography. After two consecutive moves from Paris and in the process of adjusting to a new environment, I doubted my photography skills because I couldn't either find time or was not happy with the end results. Then comes a day when you go through the treasure trove and finds pictures that are worthy of sharing.
I had taken this picture at Trafalgar Square a year ago. These days, I don't carry the tripod around. This picture motivates me to take my tripod again. I like the fountain lit in green and felt it would be interesting to try out using long exposure. You can see the result below, and I hope you like it.

Roller Derby Blues: Do Jammers Need BMI License?
Dear Rich:I'm a member of a small roller derby team that contracts with a local roller derby rink for 3 or 4 games a year. In our contract with the rink, it says that we will split the proceeds 50/50 (each game grosses about $2,000 in total), and that the rink is responsible for providing a DJ and music during pregame and halftime. The rink has an ASCAP & BMI license. Does the roller derby team need one too? The short answer to your question is no, the rink's license is probably sufficient. Generally, a venue's performance license -- which permits public performances of copyrighted music -- will cover all the traditional activities within the venue. (Here's a story about one roller skating fan's quest for similar information.) However, like all things legal, there are a few exceptions. If the rink signed limited licenses with these performing rights societies and those licenses only cover certain events or uses, your league could run into a problem and may need to pay additional license fees. (Here's a roller derby posting on this issue.) That's not likely, but ask the rink if it is limited to certain uses or whether the license covers all music played there. In any case, we hate to see you reach for your checkbook if your agreement states that the rink will provide and pay for the music. (We assume the agreement is silent as to your BMI and ASCAP obligations). Check your paperwork with the rink. Anyway, the Dear Rich Staff is sorry you have to think about these details when you should be concentrating on your backwards whips.

We were inspired by the work of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, Great Lakes Economic Initiative, and Restoring Prosperity Initiative.
The Great Lakes Economic Initiative, headed by GLUE champion, guru, and friend John Austin, was conceived in acknowledgement that the upper Midwest, popularized as the "Rustbelt," has been and remains a significant center of economic activity, trade, and knowledge generation, but is making a spotty and imperfect transition from the industrial era which it dominated to success in the new knowledge economy. The initiative has catalyzed and continues to inform a discussion about the most effective state, multi-state, and national policies for fostering economic growth in the region, among the region's business, political and opinion leadership.
Read their report The Vital Center to understand what makes this region, well, a region, and to witness some big-picture analysis and thought about policies that will move us forward.

University Faculty Awareness and Attitudes towards Open Access Publishing and the Institutional Repository: A Case Study
MetadataShow full item record
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to understand TAMU faculty awareness of open access (OA) publishing; assess their attitudes towards, and willingness to, contribute to an institutional repository (IR); and investigate their perceptions of newer OA trends and resources, including Open Educational Resources (OER) and DMPTool. The survey also served as an outreach tool to inform and educate TAMU faculty about OA publishing, the IR, and the Libraries' OA services. METHODS The 34-question survey was conducted between Nov. 6–Dec 15, 2014 using Qualtrics, a web-based survey tool. Responses were anonymous, and participants were prevented from answering the survey more than once. Two hundred ninety-five faculty responded to the survey, resulting in a response rate of 11 percent. RESULTS Survey results suggest that tenured faculty are more engaged and interested in OA publishing topics in general, and tenure-track faculty are more willing to adopt new initiative such as Open Textbooks. Overall, the responding TAMU faculty are willing to consider publishing in OA publications, and almost half of them believe OA journal publications are acceptable for consideration of tenure and promotion in their departments. Despite their positive attitudes towards OA publishing, they are not so positive towards OA mandates. The survey also revealed there is a low awareness level of the TAMU IR, as well as of newer OA trends and resources. CONCLUSION The majority of responding TAMU faculty are aware of OA journals in their fields, and indicated their willingness to publish in an OA publication. Being unaware of the IR deposit process stood out as the greatest barrier that accounts for the low IR participation rate at TAMU. In line with previous studies, copyright concerns, as well as the perception of IR contents as being of lower quality, are the second most significant barriers. Workshops or seminars on copyright, data management, and the IR are badly needed. Several participants appreciated this survey because it provided many web links to the resources mentioned for them to explore further, and as a result they learned a lot from the survey. Despite our best efforts to make faculty aware of the abundance of resources made available by the Libraries, it seems that our audience continues to remain unaware of some of our services and resources. This only reinforces the need for continuous communication—after all, there is no such thing as too many reminders.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
Kernel locks when copying a large amount of data (using scp) over a 100 Mbit
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all kernel versions releases for Fedora 7, up to the latest kernel-18.104.22.168-27.fc7
How reproducible:
Always - just use a large amount mass of data
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a server 1, start copying, using scp, a large amount of data (something
like 10 Gb) to server 2
2. After a while, server 2 (running F7) will lockup
Actual results:
After a while, server 2 (running F7) will lockup
Expected results:
No lockup
Additional info:
We used memtest to test the memory of this machine, over several days; no
problems reported. The machine is not overclocked or "tuned" in any way.
It's a quad core Intel processor (Q6600) with a RAID 5 array of 4 500 Gb SATA disks.
The smolt profile is available in
The attached stacktrace was from the only time it got registered in the logs;
usually it's not even registered. This specific stacktrace is from kernel.x86_64
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7, but the same occurs in in kernel-188.8.131.52-27.fc7.
Created attachment 159912 [details]
stacktrace for the lockup
Ran bonnie++ several times and I haven't been able to trigger the problem.
Also, ran some rather large "cp" commands and no lockup either.
Seems I can only reproduce it in the scp case.
Can you try kernel-184.108.40.206-33.fc7 from the updates-testing repo?
[pedro.morais@inovasrv3 ~]$ uname -a
Linux inovasrv3 220.127.116.11-33.fc7 #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 16:59:15 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Same problem.
Any boot parameters that I might try? I've tried googling for the problem but
found nothing relevant.
Please post the entire oops message from the 126.96.36.199 kernel.
We need to see the exact addresses where that one fails.
Created attachment 159955 [details]
Requested stacktrace
A photo of the stacktrace is attached.
I didn't copy it by hand because I would probably make some mistake :-( and I
don't have access to a serial console.
I see a "generic_unplug_device" in this stacktrace... does the SATA layer think
we are physically unplugging a disk? (we are not, the disks are not hot swap).
We really need the entire message, including register contents etc.
Booting in 50-line mode may work:
- add "vga=ask" to kernel command line then select 50-line mode at boot
- may need to override default font -- easy way is to
(temporarily) rename /lib/kbd/consolefonts
Created attachment 159968 [details]
Another stack trace
Another oops, using your instructions... unfortunately, it's different this
I've tried it several times and everytime I get a different error, so I think
something must be corrupting memory.
Since the memory passed the memtest, the disks showed no problems after a
rather violent bonnie++ test run, I'm starting to think something must be wrong
with the network card (driver?)...
Tomorrow I'll try to connect a different network card.
Can the problem be reproduced with the upstream 2.6.23-rc1 kernel, and the atl1
card? We fixed a bug with DMA setup that may be relevant.
The DMA patches from 2.6.23 will be in the next Fedora 7 kernel.
Hopefully they will fix this problem.
Ok, I connected an old rtl8139 card, disabled the onboard NIC, and the problem
went away.
I'll wait for the next kernel to hit updates-testing to test if it fixes the issue.
You should be able work around the problem by booting with mem=3900 on the
kernel command line.
Just installed the -41 kernel; unfortunately I can't reboot the machine right
now, but I will try to see if it fixes the problem as soon as possible.
Created attachment 160680 [details]
Sorry, for the above, .41 is no better, backtrace attached.
Fixed upstream in 2.6.23-rc3-mm1, still unclear when the patch will hit mainline.
Will put the patch from -mm in F7.
kernel-184.108.40.206-76.fc7 is in the updates-testing repository with a fix for this bug.
I had a similar problem.
ASUS P5B-Plus, Quad Core, 4GB of memory.
I hit three different (unusual) kernel bugs during the first 8 hours of
operation (updating, rsyncing old box).
Looks like kernel-188.8.131.52-76.fc7 fixes this as the system did not hit a bug
last night (9 hours) and still rsyncing.
I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel.
I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can.
There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel as comment #18 indicates
this resolves the issue.
If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no additional information lodged.
(In reply to comment #20)
> I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to

Please don't change status when it's MODIFIED, as that means a patch for the
problem is in testing.
(In reply to comment #21)
> Please don't change status when it's MODIFIED, as that means a patch for the
> problem is in testing.
Apologies - I did not realise that. I have updated the wiki to reflect this.
Patch is merged in 2.6.23-rc7 with a "we don't know why, but this helps"
comment. I figured out the problem last night and sent a patch to Jeff Garzik
to update the comment with an explanation. Basically, the atl1 chip can do DMA
to 64-bit addresses, but all of the rings have to be within a single 4GB-aligned
block. In other words, it's just 32-bit DMA with an option to work around
BIOSes that reserve a huge amount of low physical address space. The clean fix
is the one we're already using, which is 32-bit DMA.
Unfortunately I'll only be able to test this at the end of this month, that's
when I'll have access to this machine.
Pedro Morais
Just checked it; did some stress tests (copied large amounts of data) that
previously would always kill the server.
Everthing is ok, we can close this one.

Happy FRIDAY!
I just got back from errands around town (a few more Magic Cloth Burritos are in the mail!) and I had the oddest experience. I recently took advantage of a coupon and downloaded a few self hypnosis scripts from Wendy Friesen.
Now, before you scoff, remember you are dealing one hard headed bitch here and I will also tell you that I know this stuff works.
Years ago I learned to put myself into a deep, dreamless and refreshing sleep in less than two minutes and wake up in 30 feeling like I had slept soundly all night. A great trick when your baby won't sleep but 10 minutes out of every two hours as Colin did his whole first year.
After all, we tell ourselves stuff in our heads every waking moment. Unfortunately it's not often good or useful stuff. A good "script" will put you into a receptive (think contemplative, open) state of mind and then offer up positive and/or directed suggestions that you are free to choose or disregard. The whole point is to embrace new and useful suggestions and put them into practice - like making daily physical exercise as important to your mind as it is for your body..good stuff like that.
Anyway, I was driving along with the Ipod on shuffle and one of the scripts popped up and I decided to listen actively for content and ignore the hypnotic induction, after all I was driving. After about a minute I found my self feeling... JELLIED - one hit jellied!
I quickly turned down the sound and focused on the road. Having these scripts at my fingertips is like have a joint hidden in the bottom of the jewelry box. You KNOW it's going to work but you can't seem to bring yourself to light up.
"What's up with that" is the question to ponder. Have a great weekend. I will.

soooooo....burn it.........as in, real flame? or fairly harmless, but no less magical moonlight?
if you mean real flame, or scorch, say, over the BBQ, i would roll it up like a kabob-shibori-looking thing and see what happens in spots...
going to check out the hypnosis stuff.

I had ordered some food to be delivered for my lunch break and was patiently awaiting it's arrival whilst doing some paperwork. There was a knock at the door and a young stud entered who was not my usual delivery boy. I took a shine to him immediately, he was good looking and very easy to get on with. We chatted for a while and I flirted shamelessly with him, letting him see my exposed cleavage and my long legs. He soon got the idea and we were soon kissing and fondling each other as we stood at the doctors desk. I lowered his jeans and sat him down and began to suck his cock to get it nice and hard. Maybe it was nerves, but he was having a little trouble getting it fully erect, so I lay back on the desk and let him lick my wet pussy. We were still having a little trouble with his cock and I wanted it inside me as he didn't have a lot of experience with his tongue. I masturbated in front of him and this soon did the trick and his cock was nice and hard and slipped into my pussy with ease. I hadn't realized just how fat his cock was and he fucked me relentlessly, showing good stamina. It was the loudest I had ever been in the office as his big cock made me cum several times. I didn't care about getting caught and this stud seemed like he would never run out of steam. But my pussy always wins against ball control and he eventually pulled out and splattered my stomach with his big load. Now that I had worked up an appetite, it was time for me to get rid of the stud and eat the food he had so kindly brought me earlier.

Powder puff dancing dolls, little fairy dancers, pompom princess platforms and pastel balloons only describe a small part of the incredible Meadham Kirchhoff SS12 show. On the backdrop of the stunning Topshop showspace, back this season at the grand old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo.
Giving a performance like no other, models came out from behind gold tinsel curtains in cutesy, multicolored pastel outfits with laser cut, Swarovski crystal, fine lace and embroidered details, this collection was a spectacular sight to see and there were smiles all round whilst the show unfolded.
The collection itself reminded me of Sophia Coppola's Marie Antionette crossed with the colourful town in Edward Scissorhands and the child-like costumes you might imagine from a Rald Dahl book, the soundtrack reminiscent of a 80's childhood, this fairy-tale show is everything I loved as a child and has been quite successfully transferred into a true realm of my fashion fantasy.
Edward Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff, are two boys with a huge amount of talent and are sure to go far with this incredible label that I just adore.
Another triumph for British fashion design.

Why do I do it?
I love traveling, but by my count, the last 78 times I've flown, I've done so on no sleep. It kills the experience. Last night I was at the office until 5AM doing a problem set (that I didn't even completely finish, though I had a good run). And once again I'm sitting, zombie tired, in an airport, wishing that I was well-rested.
Ah well. At least the Pittsburgh Airport has free wireless.

Heatwave!July 9, 2010 at 1:49 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Hey Bloggers! :)
So, like the title of this post says, where I live is having a ridiculous heat wave! We havent had rain since June and everyday since July 1st the temperature has been over 30 degrees C with the humidex. Its crazy! So, for the last few days I have been starting off my days with these delicious concotions :
I've been eating them from a bowl, with a spoon because it makes them last longer :) In this particular smoothie there was :
– 1 banana
– 1/2 cup soymilk
– scoop protein powder
– tsp vanilla extract
then topped with 3 chopped dates, a few almonds & a few strawberry wheaties. YUM!
When I woke up this morning I was greeted by this :
This was my summer last year, except it lasted all day,everyday. This summer is so different, and I love it ! :)
So after breaky I fed and cleaned out these ladies :
And then I did a 20 minute yoga podcast from YogaDownload.com. I've done this one a couple times, its a core yoga podcast and I was SO proud of myself today because I finally managed to get into wheel!
I know compared to all the yoginis in the blog world this pose isnt difficult but, since I'm fairly new to yoga, I'm still proud ;) I'm really starting to love yoga! I also did 15minutes of strength training with 5pounders. And then, I rode Lucy, who was an angel,despite the heat !
And then, on to lunch ! We are running low on groceries so, I put together what I could, it turned out to be a pretty weird yet amazing combo :
Sorry for the crap photo.
The rest of the afternoon was spent in town, finally getting my grad photos taken at Walmart ( which I will share when I get them! ), and shopping with my Momma :) I'll play dress up sometime this weekend and take some pictures :)
Since I didnt get pictures of the rest of my day, I will leave you now with some prom pictures, which turned out fabulous! :) ( I'm the one in the gold ,sparkley dress )

We got back from holidays on Monday night, and I spent Tuesday doing all those boring things that make a home tick over. You know, washing, shopping, unpacking, paying bills..... Boring, Boring, Boring. By Wednesday afternoon I couldn't deal with this any longer, and I ignored my tax which is pleading to be done, and sat down to my machine. Aussie Heroes does a BOM, and the August one is Wonky Crosses. The tutorial for that is here. I decided to do some blocks, and get stuck into my green stash which is totally overflowing.
The block is just so easy and fun to do, that in no time at all I had made heaps.....
And then I got bored with looking at green fabric, so I made some other colours - mostly blue-ish.
There are 39 x 9.5" blocks in all. I feel very pleased with myself as I concentrated on the pieces which were small bits and got them out of the cupboard. I even juggled bits together when they were too small to cut the original 9.5" block. And you know having dug into that green stash, it doesn't seem to have made any impression on it at all! I am planning to go down to Jan-Maree's to a sewing day on the 2nd September, so there is still time to do some more.
When I was bemoaning the lack of stash depletion this morning at Friday Quilters, my friend Di offered to bring her AccuQuilt Go Cutter next Friday. I plan to do a pile of tumbler blocks with it, so hopefully by the end of next week, the greens will be tamed. And then I will have to start on the blues.....
I called into Aldi on the way home today because they had great big fat red strawberries on special for $1.69 a punnet. That is very cheap for this part of the world. After lunch today I got them boiled up into jam, and have a neat dozen jars of home made jam. I have been making strawberry jam for about 3 years now, and find that store bought stuff is just no longer appealing. I have almost finished the last bottle of the last batch, so this was very timely indeed. I will need to label them all tomorrow when the jars are cool. Now to go clean up the sticky mess in the kitchen and get the dinner on.
Til next time..... Keep on stitching.

A specially bred plum tomato that is ideal for preserving and making ketchup, tomato juice and soups. Tomato 'Roma VF' produces fleshy, juicy, almost seedless fruits with a deliciously different flavour which makes it an excellent variety for eating fresh too. This semi-bush variety is very heavy cropping and has good resistance to verticillium and fusarium wilt. A versatile variety that can be grown outside or in the greenhouse.

Talqeen-e-Mayat (Remind the dead person to recite the Kalima)
Hazrat Abu Umaama (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "If someone dies and you have buried him, stand at the top of his grave and say: O son of such and such woman, because he hears though is unable to respond. Repeat what you have said, because he will sit in an upright position. Repeat what you have said, because he will say: we have been guided,may Allah have mercy upon you, though you cannot hear us.
'Mention that which you held to when you left the world: the witnessing that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and that you consent to Allah as your lord, and to Islam as your religion, and to Muhammad as your Prophet, and to the Qur'an as your guide.'
Then verily Munkar and Nakir will say: 'Let us go rather than stay with someone who has been instructed his argument. 'For Allah and his Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) are his defense. "A man said: "Messenger of Allah, what if one does not know the name of his mother? "He replied: "Let him relate him to his Amma Hawwa."
[Tabarani in his Mu`jam al-Kabir, Dhahabi in Siyar A`lam al-Nubala, Qurtubi in Al-Tadkhira, ibn Qayum in K-Ruh]
Esaal-e-Sawaab (Conveying reward to the deceased)
Esal e Sawab is to ask Almighty Allah for the forgiveness of our sins, and to raise the spiritual status of the deceased. This may be achieved through various practices, such as the offering of du'as (supplications), to recite the Quran, to offer Qurbani (at Eid al Adha), and also, to perform a compulsory (fard) Hajj on the behalf of the deceased.
…. O' My Lord, have mercy on my parents like they did in looking after me through my childhood.
[Surah al Isra, Verse 24]
…. O' Allah forgive us and forgive our Muslim brothers and sisters who have passed away….
[Surah al Hashir, Verse 10]
A man came to Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said 'My mother has suddenly died and she did not leave any will, but I suspect that if she did that then she would have told me to give something to charity. Now if I offer something in charity on her behalf, will she get the reward?' Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said 'Yes'. Then the man said that I make you, the Prophet, as my witness, that I offer my garden full of fruits to charity.
[Bukhari, Muslim, Chapter Al-Wasiha]
The above mentioned verses and hadith demonstrate that if anyone prays on behalf of another person, the latter will receive the spiritual benefits - Allah Willing. This also demonstrates that if it was the wrong action Allah would not have ordered us to pray for other people, nor would He have stated that those who ask for forgiveness for the deceased, receive praises from Almighty Allah.
Putting flowers on the graves
Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), while passing through one of the grave-yards of MADINA or MAKKAH heard the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid)." The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) then added, "Yes! (they are being tortured for a major sin). Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends)." The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, "I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried."
So putting flowers or petals on a grave is a established sunnah.
[Al-Bukhari – Volume 1, Book 4, Number 215, Also in Muslim Sharif]
Visiting Graves
Hazrat Buraida (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "I have previously prohibited you of visiting graves, but now I ask you to do so, as they remind you of the hereafter" [Abu Dawud Sharif]
Building of tombs around a grave
And in this way We made them known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Day of Judgment. When they were arguing among themselves about the matter, they said, ´Wall up their cave, their Lord knows best about them.´ But those who got the better of the argument concerning them said, ´We will build a place of worship over them.´ [Surah al Kahf 18, Verse 21]
Is the grave punishment to the body or just the soul?
Ibn Hajar al-Haytami was asked, in his Fatawa v.2, p.9, on if the punishment in the grave is on one's body and soul or just one of them. To this, he replied that the punishment in the grave is on both the body and soul. This he mentions as the relied-upon opinion.
During al-Isra (The Night Journey), the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) saw angels smashing some people's heads with rocks. These heads would return to the shape they had been, and then the angels would smash their heads again--and so on. Jibril told the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), "These are the ones whose heads felt too heavy to perform prayer--the ones who used to sleep without praying."
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) saw people scratching their faces and chests with brass finger nails. Jibril said, "These are the examples of those who commit gossip ((ghibah).").
Day of Resurrection – The Prophet to rise First
Hazrat Abu Saeed Al Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, "I will be the Master of humanity on the day of resurrection, though I do not bragg. I will carry the flag of praise, and all Prophets will stand beneath my banner. I will be the first who the earth will give way for, though I do not bragg.
The first person to get up from his grave will be Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Then Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiallah anhu) and Hazrat Umar (radhiallah anhu) will be on his right and left. Then people will come out from their graves from (Jannat-ul-Baqee) a cemetery in Madina. Then Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) will wait for the people of (Jannat-ul-Ma'ala) a cemetery in Makkah. When the people of Jannat-ul-Ma'ala come out of their graves then Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) will take care of every body and they will start walking towards the Mahshar Ground (in Syria).
Journey to the Mahshar (Day of Judgement)
When the good people come out of their graves, outside the graves will be a beautiful ride standing, which they will sit on and go to Mahshar. But when the non-believers get up from their graves, outside their graves will not be a ride. They will go to Mahshar in different ways. Some of them will crawl on their stomachs, like a snake.
Reckoning on the Day of Judgement
When the people come out from their graves and gather in Mahshar, it will be a very hot day, because the sun will be one Mile away from earth. The Mahshar will be in Shaam (Syria). A scale will be placed to weigh the people's good and bad deeds. On that day, Allah will order the Angel to bring people, one by one for reckoning.
…Then they will go to Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). He will say, "I will intercede for you". Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) will go in to (sajdah) prostrate and say "Oh Allah! Accept my intercession." Allah will say, "Oh Muhammad! Raise your head from sajdah. I will give you that which you will be happy with." Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) will do intercession for his followers. Allah will grant them Heaven.
Kindness of Prophet Muhammad sallal lahu alyhi wa sallam
One of the companion's of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) asked: "On the day of Judgement, where shall we find you?" The Blessed Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) replied: "I will meet you at three places on the day of Judgement: The Scale, the River Kawthar, and the Bridge (Sirat)."

Paradise Cove Resort - Yasawa Islands
You know how tourism brochures and websites always show you these tropical paradise scenes of luxe resorts out in the middle of the ocean? Well we got to see the real life version of that when we stayed at Paradise Cove Resort.
There are so many islands and resorts to choose from in Fiji, it can be a bit overwhelming. We went with the good old "a friend recommended it" approach and it was the best idea ever. There was a group of us with birthdays close together so we decided to have a weekend away and celebrate in tropical island paradise style.
Paradise Cove Resort is one of the first islands in the Yasawa Island group, about 3 hours by boat from Nadi or about 20 minutes by sea plane. As it was my birthday, and when it's your birthday you can justify anything, we decided to arrive in style via the Turtle Airways Seaplane and it was the funnest transportation method I've ever taken as you can probably tell from my face in the picture below...
The resort
Paradise Cove Resort is a tranquil, beautiful island resort where everything is almost too easy. The staff are so friendly, (shout out to Mili who made our stay so wonderful) and they are willing to help you with anything you need.
The vibe
This resort is calm, beautiful, clean and easy. Not a party resort and not overrun by kids. I would say it's quite the luxury resort, but in no way over the top or sterile, just well laid out and you're never more than a few steps from the ocean. The set up is great with the cocktail bar positioned between the pool and the beach.
The accommodation
We stayed in the Deluxe Garden suite which was huge and perfect for two couples to stay in without feeling crowded. The main bed was in the open lounge area and the second bedroom was at the back. There was also a large outdoor lounging area and the best part, an outdoor shower room with two shower heads and beautiful plants and flowers surrounding you. There are also beach front rooms with their own hammocks out the front of your own private beach area and some rooms have their own plunge pool too. You can check out all the room types here
What to do there
Snorkel - We literally snorkelled straight out from the beach and it was beautiful. We saw all the little tropical fish you would hope to see and even spotted a little sting ray. You can also go on boat tours to other snorkelling spots, just visit the activities desk.
Paddle boarding and kayaking - To be honest, we were too lazy, (busy drinking cocktails and celebrating birthdays) to paddle board or kayak, but the equipment is there and free to use whenever you like.
My favourite part
The sunset drinks with a view - The resort offers a sunset drinks session, up on top of the highest point of the island. Even though the sunset wasn't spectacular on our evening, the views out across the ocean were beautiful and it was the perfect pre dinner drink spot to soak up the tropical island atmosphere.
How to get there
There are two options to get out to the Yasawa Islands and that's either by ferry or sea plane. We went with Turtle Airways for the flight over, which was such an amazing experience as you can see all the islands and resorts as you fly over. We took the Awesome Adventures Fiji ferry for the trip back to the mainland.
We loved it here and would go back again simply for the ease and tranquillity of the place. There are so many island resorts to choose from so I hope this helps to paint a picture of the types of tropical island holidays Fiji has to offer.

MSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell fact-checked President Donald Trump's claim of being the "least racist" person during the continuing back-and-forth over the president's "sh*thole" comments.
"Tonight, it's Donald Trump versus Dick Durbin (D-IL) on who's telling the truth," O'Donnell observed. "Most Americans don't really have to hear more than that to decide who is telling the truth — even though most Americans don't know who Dick Durbin is. Sixty-three percent of Americans say Donald Trump does not tell the truth, that poll came out on Thursday."
"As the story clearly got worse and worse for the Trump White House on Friday and Saturday, the Trump White House decided it was time to change their story, just completely change their story," O'Donnell observed. "It was time to change Donald Trump's story and enlist whatever help they could from other Republicans."
"So one of the most overtly racist presidents since the abolition of slavery says I'm not racist," O'Donnell noted.
"Because he is, and has been for decades, a deeply dysfunctional pathological liar, he has no idea that saying, 'I am the least racist person' not only does not sound believable, it does not sound sane," O'Donnell suggested.
"Would a sane person ever say that?" O'Donnell asked. "Would someone who is not a racist ever say, 'I am the least racist person?'"
"There have only been 45 presidents of the United States and it can be said with absolute certainty that Donald Trump is definitely not the least racist person who has been president," O'Donnell concluded. "But he is, without a doubt, the least intelligent, the least believable, and obviously the least sane person who has ever been president."

We had our baby! She arrived safely the day after her due date. It's not necessarily a pretty birth story, as pretty much nothing went as we would have liked it, but our baby girl is here and lovely and we are so happy.
If you're currently pregnant and feeling anxious about the idea of childbirth, know that I was so anxious going into this labour. I was terrified, actually. But despite everything I've written in this birth story, I still feel really positive about how it all went.
Our hospital team supported us every step of the way. We are so grateful to them. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but it was wonderful at the same time, if that makes sense.
Our ideal birth story
We had wanted a quiet, serene birth with no pain medication, just a water birth and gentle breathing. Limited monitoring. We wanted delayed cord clamping and immediate skin to skin.
Didn't get any of that. Two epidurals, constant monitoring, lots of howling, immediate cord cutting. Episiotomy.
But what we wanted more than anything was healthy baby and mum. We wanted to feel listened to and supported. And we got all of that. We are so happy and feel so lucky.
Birth story: short version
I started having regular contractions on Night One. We went into hospital on Morning Two. My water broke, baby's heart rate only stayed stable in one exact position, constant monitoring, back labour, gas and air is useless, one failed epidural, one successful one, I started running a fever, meconium everywhere, three hours of pushing, episiotomy, Baby was born on Morning Three – that's 38 hours later, if you're counting.
Birth story: long version
About seven o'clock, we realised I was having to pace around the living room to cope with the tightening feelings. So after we'd eaten I went for a nice long bath to see if that quietened everything down or started it up properly. By 9pm it was clear something was definitely going to be happening!
We called the hospital around 4am. Contractions were every 3-4 minutes apart. As we live so close they suggested we wait until they were closer and longer. Fine by us, so we held on until about 6am when they were every two minutes and lasting for nearly a minute each.
At our first check, I was only 1cm dilated but they kept us in as I have a heart murmur and Baby had some decelerations on the monitor – we thought these were probably due to my movements, but no one could be quite sure. Then my waters broke anyway at 8.30 so we were there for the duration!
By about midday I was really struggling with the contractions, especially as I kept on having to lie down for monitoring. We tried all the "gentle" methods of pain management and getting things to move along like gas and air, breathing, various aromatherapy techniques, etc. When it was getting on for 1.30pm and I was begging for death, we asked about an epidural. I've got quite a fear of needles but by that point I'd have allowed someone to cut my foot off to make the pain stop.
By 2.30 the wonderful anaesthetist had done his work and I was only feeling pressure, not pain. Fantastic! I felt so spaced out and it was wonderful.
I was now lying on my left side constantly as Baby's heartrate plummeted whenever I moved. But I was able to get some sleep, as was my husband, which was great as we hadn't slept all the previous night.
I had an amazing button which let me give myself a bolus of epidural every 20 minutes or so. But by about 10.30pm it wasn't working and I was suddenly back up at a 8 on the pain scale (with 10 being "cut off my foot now, please!"). By the time the on-call anaesthetist was back, I was at a 10 again.
It turned out my epidural had come unsited somehow and needed to be entirely redone. The time it took to take everything out and put it back in and then have the drugs take effect was probably the longest 40 minutes of my life. I didn't know it was possible to howl so loudly. It felt like an out of body experience. I kept apologising to the staff and my husband when contractions finished because I knew this wasn't me.
Overnight things got a bit more worrisome because Baby's heartrate kept going weird. Then I started running a fever and there was some concern that she also had an infection. I was about 7cm dilated by this point so they were able to get a blood sample from her to check she was fine – if not, it would have been an emergency c-section.
As they were doing this, the registrar on call was ever so excited by Baby's hair. "I can't wait for you to see how much hair!"
The night went on and on, and by about 5-6am I wasn't comfortable at all anymore. The epidural was completely gone. But everyone kept pointing out that they couldn't do anything more as it was back labour and I was now at 10cm. Still on my side, not allowed to move.
It got a bit more scary when suddenly a load of meconium came flooding out. At this point I asked about a c-section. Begged, maybe. Screamed. But Baby was in position and they wanted me to try!
They started me off pushing. It felt like a lot of work at first and after about two hours felt like it was going to kill me! I think I may have begged them to do just that, actually.
Then at the shift change, 7.30, Jackie the midwife came on. We'd seen her a bit the day before, and she was like a sergeant major. She was going to get that baby out!
By 8.08, I'd pushed a bit more, had an episiotomy, and this tiny slippery purple alien was suddenly on my chest. Oh my god.
In all of the pain and the fear, I'd honestly forgotten there was a baby involved. I just kept on repeating, "We had a baby, oh, we had a baby!"
Our hospital was amazing. Even though it was a bit urgent to get her checked out, they still had my husband cut the cord and put her on my chest for a second or two. She was absolutely fine – but tiny – only 6lb4oz despite being born at 40+1.
Everything then went a bit haywire with me. We couldn't do skin to skin. I spent most of the first day passing out, even after being taken up to the postnatal ward. I don't actually remember a lot of that first day. My husband did all of the dressing and cuddling and snuggling with her at first. I've had to ask him a lot of questions while writing this birth story as well. But I was much better by the end of the day.
We did it!
She's a delight. She loves feeding and clinging on to thumbs. Hates any kind of having clothing removed and not being cuddled! We also think she's absolutely gorgeous, although of course I'm a bit biased.
It was a pretty rough experience and I'm certainly not sure I'll be doing it again, but the hospital staff were all so wonderful and made it bearable. I feel very lucky.

There are no free markets today except in the illegal drugs, but that is not the business to be in because of the dangers from those in it and the government war on drugs.
A free market needs to have a steady money, not FIAT unbacked paper currencies, private property, individual liberty, and protected markets without government intervention except to wield the sword of the Lord as a minister of God to punish evil. The bible certainly does not explicitly call for a free market, but has many of the fundamental foundations principles of a free market economy. Then as we look about to determine Economics which implements this principles illustrated and prescribed by the Word of God, we are lead to the historic or Austrian School of Economics. The current Keynesian Economic Theory is what brought us in violation of God's Law into the chaos of financial fiasco whirlpool.
I believe God is using our current financial woes to call us to our knees and to turn back to Him. We must kiss the Son of God else God's wrathful judgment will come in full force. Pray for the Holy Spirit to encourage His people back to their first love: King Jesus. It may be too late already, but without a return to Him, the end of America will come.
The Privateer:
"Calling the near term fate of ANY investment or asset in current market conditions is all but impossible. The desperation of the global monetary powers that be are reaching such heights that they are willing to perform any fiscal or monetary form of atrocity to (they hope) hold things together. Meanwhile, on the paper investment markets, the participants are literally at their wits end. And whenever that happens, their "faith" in the "system" is all they have left to sustain them, so they retreat to the US Dollar and US government debt paper. After all, if THAT folds up, so will the system.
That's why everyone needs to own physical Gold. Look upon this correction as an enhanced opportunity to add to holdings or, if you haven't got any Gold yet (Why not?) to start accumulating. Anyone who bought Gold at any point in the corrections of 2006 or 2008 has been sitting pretty ever since. Despite the fact that Gold is now about $US 270 lower than it was three weeks ago, they still are."
Well-timed price slump has Indian gold traders expecting a bumper festival season
Good monsoons and price weakness ahead of the 9-night Navratri festival, which kicks off the Indian festival and wedding season has traders rather excited. A real break for India. HERE.
Gold rises for third straight day; longest gains in a month
Gold climbed on Monday, recording its third straight daily rise, having posted its largest monthly slide since 2008 in September. This is good news for gold. Maybe we are near the bottom of the correction in gold. Silver has yet to show a good bottom. Silver remains more volatile with more risk at this point. HERE.
Should the recent price fall mean gold no longer a "safe haven"?
If your house catches fire, do you call your insurer before trying to escape the flames...? Gold was still a better 3rd quarter performer than equities and industrial metals and its defensive value pays out over time. We are to expect this from time to time. This one came on rather suddenly and gold has given back some of its gain for the year, but I like to think in longer term. The bull is still snorting albeit softly for the time being. I expect it to be roaring shortly. HERE.
Europe's debt crisis clearly very bullish for gold and silver - Gardner
If you want to know the future, pay attention to the decisions European policymakers will have to make regarding debt, says Scott Gardner, chief investment officer at Verdmont Capital. Gold Report interview. More people moved into gold before this last correction. More will be coming as the world economic fiasco gets worse. HERE.
Have gold and silver market conditions changed, fundamentally?
Gold and silver prices are being pulled back solely in the search for liquidity, not because the safe-haven qualities of gold and silver have evaporated. Liquidity is always a problem. I have had to make major repairs to the sewer lines under our home. This has taken much of my liquidity. I feel their pain in this regard. HERE.
Southern Copper Corp. (NYSE: SCCO) Gives You High Yield, High Profit Potential
Because Southern Copper has world-class assets and high profit potential, but its share price has taken a dive amid all of the recent market turmoil.
I love to find a sound business whose stock price has been pummeled in the uncertain markets. It screams bargain and is a major buying opportunity.
And in this case, the fact that Southern Copper's stock price has dropped means its already-juicy dividend has increased. Currently the company's $2.48 dividend equates to a 9.5% yield.Here is a stock one might consider for the dividend, alone. The fact that the price has been hit very hard does give the potential for substantial gain when/if construction picks up in the U.S. and continues in China. I have always liked this company and have bought into oversold condition in the past. I am considering it for dividend. HERE.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka Bombs ripped through two buses in Sri Lanka on Friday, including one packed with morning commuters near the country's heavily fortified capital, officials said. At least 23 people were killed and 67 wounded.
The attacks came two days after another bombing that targeted civilians in Colombo, and authorities promptly blamed the Tamil Tiger rebels, who have made such attacks a hallmark of their 25-year fight against Sri Lanka's government.
If carried out by the rebels who offered no immediate comment and routinely deny any role in such bombings the attack would show their ability to strike deep inside government territory despite a maze of security checkpoints around the capital and its suburbs.
The first bomb was detonated on a roadside about 7:35 a.m. in the Colombo suburb of Moratuwa as a passenger bus went by, said military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara. It killed 21 people and wounded 47 others.
He said that a curfew has been imposed in the area to give soldiers and police a chance to search for suspected rebels.
The explosion shattered the vehicle's windows and peppered it with shrapnel. A 45-year old man who identified himself only as Nalaka said he was thrown from his motorcycle by the explosion.
"When I got up I saw the bus and quickly got into it. Some people lay dead. Some others were bleeding," he told AP Television News. "I heard somebody screaming 'help, help,' and I rushed to him, but I could not move him because he was heavy."
Hours later, another blast occurred inside a bus in the hills of the central Kandy district, killing two passengers and wounding 20 other people, said police spokesman Ranjith Gunasekara.
The rebels, blamed for scores of suicide bombings and other attacks on civilians, are listed as a terrorist group by the United States, the European Union and India. They are believed to have been behind a blast Wednesday that wounded 19 people on a passenger train in Colombo.
After the first attack Friday, President Mahinda Rajapaksa called on Sri Lankans to "remain vigilant against the forces of terror."
With much of the fighting taking place hundreds of miles to the north, the recent attacks have shaken the south, home to Sri Lanka's Sinhalese majority, and left residents fearful of more to come.
"I don't know how this war is being fought in the north. I see that only on the television. But, it now seems the war has come to the capital," said Roshan Dhammika, a 30-year-old who drives a motorized rickshaw.
Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry said 17 rebels and five soldiers were killed Thursday in fighting surrounding the rebel stronghold in the north. The clashes occurred in Jaffna, Mannar, Vavuniya and Welioya districts, a military official said on condition of anonymity, citing government rules.
This week's attacks appeared to also boost already strong support for the war among people in Colombo.
"What else can you do against a ruthless terrorist group. The LTTE now wants to stop operations in the north as they are suffering defeats. That's why they target civilians," said Ganesh Wijenayake, a 45-year-old businessman in Colombo, using a common acronym for the insurgents.
The Tigers, formally known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, have fought since 1983 to create an independent homeland for Sri Lanka's Tamil minority, which has been marginalized by successive governments controlled by the Sinhalese majority. More than 70,000 people have been killed.
Since a long-standing peace process broke down nearly two years ago, fighting between the Tigers and government forces has steadily escalated along the northern front lines and in the east, where the military last year overran rebel-controlled enclaves.
But the rebels still run a de facto state in much of northern Sri Lanka, and the government says it plans to completely crush the insurgents by the end of the year a threat diplomats and other observers doubt Colombo has the ability to achieve.
Since the start of the year, more than 200 civilians have been killed by bombings in rebel and government territory, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

How much is that fur coat you purchased really worth? Just a few thousands? -Or maybe a life?
Every year thousands of animals are skinned alive for their fur to make garments of all kinds. But this is not the only kind of cruelty towards animals. According to statistics every year 10,000 dogs die in illegal dog fighting. 3 to 4 million cats and dogs (healthy and adoptable) are euthanized every year in shelters. In the United States alone 1.13 million animals are used in testing and research every year – while there are other equally or more effective methods for developing new cosmetics and drug products. For us animal lovers these facts and statistics seem shocking and repulsive, but unfortunately not everyone thinks the way we do. To prevent animal cruelty we must first and foremost be more aware about it. Therefore the most basic knowledge to have is that there are two types of animal cruelty, active and passive. The formal definition of these would be, ACTIVE CRUELTY, which is cruelty inflicted (with deliberate intent to harm an animal creating immediate pain and suffering), and PASSIVE CRUELTY (harm inflicted via wilful neglect creating prolonged suffering).
Animal abuse mainly occurs because animals are not considered as significant as human beings and thus their feelings are not taken into account. We must understand that animals are "sentient" creature and just because they cannot express pain does not mean they cannot feel it. This is of course not the only reason for cruelty, it is difficult to tell what drives people to perform such acts of violence. Cruelty can be in any form, from negligence of domesticated animals to slaughter houses. Animals are one of the most pure hearted creatures and will not harm humans unless they feel threatened. Thus an animal that has been harmed will naturally be more aggressive towards human beings, this shows that violence towards animals is harmful for the perpetuator as well as the victim. Personally I believe there is a lot to learn from them, like how they only need the most basic and simple things to make them happy, how if given a chance they will prove to be more loyal that any human can ever be and most of all, how they live and let live. Pet owners know what I mean when I say that animals can bring more happiness in your life than you ever imagined. Harming these innocent souls for materialistic purposes seems so wrong and almost monstrous. It is also interesting to note that according to reports most people who harm their pets also turn out to be accused of domestic violence and other forms of criminal acts. Those who are violent towards other beings are very capable of being a threat to humans as well. This is another reason states should take animal protection acts more seriously.
Animal cruelty laws exist around the world but they are not as specific as we would like them to be. They are also not very well implemented across states. In countries like China animal protection laws are almost negligent and recent news have reported widespread skinning and other harmful acts towards animals in the country. In India the two main laws are The Prevention to Cruelty against Animal Act and Wildlife Protection Act. These two laws cover most harmful acts that take place against animals but since most people are not aware of the laws, they have not been implemented properly. Being a bystander to animal cruelty is as immoral as performing the act itself. Animals cannot speak which means we are their voice and it is up to us to fight for their rights. Small things like stopping kids from throwing stones at dog, feeding your colony cat or dog and using animal-cruelty free products goes a long way in saving these harmless creatures, after all charity begins at home right?
The internet itself is such a large portal for all kinds of information. So finding out more about animal cruelty and little acts like sharing it via social media takes very little of your time and it is for a good cause. If you do happen to be witness to any such cruelty please contact the nearest animal welfare NGO, animal Hospital or even the police. On a National level the Police are responsible to protect animals. Some of the animal helplines available are:
Helpline Mumbai +91-9320056581, 022-32681418
PFA Gurgaon: 9811703501
PFA Haryana: 98130 10595
People for Animals (PFA) is an organization that rescues and provides shelter for animals. They have hospitals around the country which treat the animals and put them up for adoption. They welcome any volunteer work or funds that are provided to them.
Animals see and feel just like we do, so it is not fair to treat them without any reverence or respect. All they need is a little love and attention and they will dedicate the rest of their lives to you. The wildlife is an integral part of our ecosystem and without them, the world will not survive. Protecting these helpless beings is our duty and a good job does not go un-noticed.

Eczema Treatment in Healdsburg, CA
Eczema is the common name for the dermatology condition known as atopic dermatitis. This condition is defined by the appearance of red, itchy skin. Eczema can occur in people of any age. Many suffering from eczema deal with decreased confidence, increased frustration and even difficulty sleeping. While there is no cure for eczema, symptoms can be improved and mitigated with treatment.
Request more information about eczema treatment today: Call (707) 604-3600 or contact Zormeier Cosmetic Surgery and Longevity Center online.
Eczema Causes
The scientific cause of eczema is not currently known. However, it is believed that a combination of environmental factors and genetics play a role. Certain behaviors and lifestyle choices may contribute to a person's likelihood of contracting eczema, as well.
Possible eczema causes and contributing factors include:
- Naturally dry skin
- Family history
- Genetics
- Chronic stress
- Immune system dysfunction
- Environmental factors
- Allergies
Eczema is most common in those who live in urban areas. While commonly associated with the hands, eczema can occur on any part of the skin. Similarly, while juvenile eczema is frequent, the condition occurs in adults, as well.
Eczema Symptoms
Eczema symptoms vary depending on the severity of the condition and the person it is affecting. The most common issue associated with eczema is red, flaky skin. The affected skin can also be described as:
- Itchy
- Patchy
- Bumpy
- Thickened
- Sensitive
Eczema affects everyone differently; where one person may simply have itchy, red skin another may experience thick scales or patches.
Eczema Triggers
Certain behaviors can lead to a "flare-up" of eczema symptoms. These are known as eczema triggers.
Common eczema triggers include:
- Stress
- Synthetic or wool clothing
- Strenuous exercise
- Sweating
- Weather changes
- Smoking
- Certain foods
- Allergens
- Bacteria
Scratching an affected area also makes the symptoms worse. This can lead to an unfortunate scenario: a person suffering from eczema scratches to reduce discomfort, which only leads to more discomfort in the future.
Eczema Treatment
Eczema is considered an ongoing, chronic condition. If left untreated, eczema can lower quality of life and lead to frequent skin infections. While there is no easy cure for eczema, the right treatment can make symptoms much more manageable. Eczema treatments seek to repair the damaged skin, bring down inflammation and prevent further infections.
Talk to your dermatologist about which of the following common eczema treatments may be best for you:
- Topical itch creams
- Inflammation-reducing corticosteroids ointments
- Steroid-free anti-inflammatory creams
- Antihistamines
- Anti-infection medication such as oral antibiotics
- Oral anti-inflammatory medication such as steroids
- Ultraviolet light therapy
- Stress reduction
- Biofeedback
While not a replacement for medical treatment, certain eczema home remedies can reduce symptoms in the short term and provide comfort. These include:
- Warm baths
- Skin moisturizers and gentle cleansers
- Wet compresses
- Air humidifiers
- Non-irritating clothing
These home remedies work by avoiding potential flare-ups and increasing skin moisture.

A note from the SFUO President on Ramadan:
Hello everyone,
My name is Hadi Wess, I am the President of the SFUO, and I am writing to tell you about Ramadan. We are nearing the end of Ramadan, which is a holy month when many Muslims fast until night-time.
Ramadan is 30 long and challenging days that are full of blessings and rewards. The last 10 days of Ramadan are known for being the most rewarding; after you've spent 20 days on such a regimented fast, you become accustomed to spending a lot of time on personal reflection.
Ramadan is reminder for us to think of those who are hungry, thirsty, cold, ill, and less fortunate. It's a lesson to teach us that it's never too late to forgive, reform, or do better. Ramadan heals our hearts from hatred, malice, grudge, jealousy, and envy.
During the month of Ramadan, I have committed to finishing the month as a better person than I was when the crescent moon drifted into sight.
To all of my Muslim and non-Muslim family and friends, I hope that you take the time during this occasion to think about the distinction between right and wrong. I hope that you take the reflect, learn, forgive, heal, and connect with your mind and body. May you all experience happiness, love, warmth, and peace.
Ramadan Kareem and Mubarak to everyone!

Car Buying
Car Repair: AAA Says One in Three Drivers Can't Pay for Average Fix
Car repair is a fact of life. Nothing lasts forever, including the many complex systems found in a car. Things do wear out over time. On average, the cars on the road today are more than 11 years old. Yet the motoring club AAA reports a large percentage of drivers aren't prepared to pay for an unexpected repair without going into debt. How much is the cost of an average car repair? According to AAA, it's between $500 and $600.
As the average length of car loans continues to grow -- nearly 69 months, according to the consumer-credit experts at Experian -- it becomes more and more clear that many consumers are buying more car than they can really afford. AAA pegs the average cost of owning and operating a car at $8,500 per year. That figure includes such expenses as loan payments, insurance premiums, fuel, taxes and so forth. One chronic issue is that many consumers simply aren't setting any additional money aside to cover down-the-road repair costs that crop up after the new-car warranty expires.
One in Three
When it comes to that unexpected $500-to-$600 car repair, one in three owners must go into debt to pay for it. According to AAA, the cost of that repair can go even higher if the car is poorly maintained. Here again, it found that one in three owners skip or put off recommended service or needed repairs, increasing the likelihood of mechanical failures. We don't get to choose where or when such failures occur, which can mean being stranded on the side of the road or, even worse, in the breakdown lane of a crowded freeway. Neglecting regular maintenance or allowing a minor repair to escalate into a major one might save you money now but explode into a major cost in the future.
Also contributing to a repair costing more than it should is that failing to maintain your car means you probably don't have a trusted mechanic. AAA also found that one in three car owners don't have a trusted repair facility or mechanic. When you car coasts to a stop on the side of the road, it's too late to shop for a good mechanic who will give you a fair shake. Picking a repair shop out of the phone listings is like rolling the dice: It's gambling with your car and your money.
Take Action
Some car repairs are inevitable, but you can minimize both the risk and the heartache of the unexpected ones. Create a rainy-day fund by setting aside a few dollars from every paycheck for your car's upkeep. Follow the carmakers' recommended maintenance as outlined in the owner's manual. Find a mechanic or repair shop that you can trust by asking for recommendations from friends or family. When an unexpected repair does arise, ask for an estimate and don't be afraid to negotiate the final cost.
What it means to you: Don't be among the one in three.

So when the Tall Ships were in town I couldn't let the opportunity pass without collaborating with some local models Matt and Eden, for a shoot. I definitely think that if I'm shooting something like this again I will seriously consider going early in the morning so as to not have thousands of tourists to work around but still, it was a very fun shoot with the beautiful Eden falling through a barrel at one point!
