and Mardix are delighted to announce the success of
their joint switchgear testing program. Engineers at
Mardix have designed a new industry-leading, high-capacity
distribution switchgear system incorporating Terasaki
circuit breakers. Intended for use in buildings with
high, concentrated electrical energy demand such as
data centres and banks, it has now been proven to withstand
short-circuit fault current of up to one hundred thousand
amps (100kA).
of Mind from Independent Testing and Certification to
consequences of switchgear failure when a business depends
heavily on the availability of electricity could be
disastrous. Terasaki and Mardix had the system independently
tested and certified to give users and specifiers peace
of mind about the performance of the equipment.
performance at 100kA was tested at the ASTA-approved
DAMSTRA laboratory in the Netherlands.
performance was verified at kA Testing in the UK (also
ASTA-certified). This highlighted the superior thermal
performance of the switchboard and circuit breakers
in that:
a rating of 6300A for the incoming circuit (a TemPower
2 ACB) was achieved with natural cooling;
• Outgoing circuits
rated from 160A to 3200A (TemBreak 2 MCCBs and TemPower
2 ACBs) achieved a diversity factor of 1
with natural cooling.
Switchgear Standard
system was designed and tested to the latest standard
for low-voltage switchgear assemblies, IEC 61439. ASTA
certificates are available and reference the new standard.
Offers Choice to Clients
and Mardix are independent companies, successful in
their separate, but overlapping business areas. Terasaki
are the UK's foremost circuit breaker specialists,
supplying components to switchboard builders for a
wide range of commercial, industrial and marine projects.
Mardix deliver an integrated solution for every aspect
of the critical power life cycle through switchgear,
power management and service.
The co-operation between Terasaki and Mardix offers
choice to clients who like to select the best technical
solution for a project without being restricted to
using the same brand for systems and circuit breakers
due to existing certification. Some examples of the
benefits of this "best of breed" approach
• Reduction in
space required for switchgear in the building. 100kA
short-circuit withstand ratings can achieved in 1400mm
wide incoming switchgear compartments. This is possible
only due to the unique combination of Air Circuit
with exceptional ratings (Terasaki) and busbar design
(Mardix) and can result in space savings of up to
40% over
conventional designs.
• Overheating
is the single most common cause of failure in switchgear.
Full critical power monitoring systems, incorporating
real-time, continuous thermal measurement of circuit
breakers is an easily achieved option with this combination
of equipment.

Brendan Bugler confirms retirement with short statement
He was a pillar in Clare halfback line as they ended 16-year wait for Liam MacCarthy Cup
Clare's Brendan Bugler has announced his retirement. Photograph: Donall Farmer/Inpho
Clare All-Ireland winner Brendan Bugler has confirmed that after 11 seasons with the Banner he is retiring from intercounty hurling.
The wiry halfback was a key member of the All-Ireland winning team in 2013, winning his second consecutive All Star at the end of that season.
Last year he added a Division One league title to his list of honours, which also include a Fitzgibbon Cup with UL in 2011 and an Interpro championship with Munster in 2013.
He made his debut in 2007 but the 32 year-old played no part in this year's championship as the Banner lost the Munster final to Cork, before bowing out at the quarter-final stage against Tipperary.
The Whitegate clubman released a short statement on Wednesday, reflective of his no-nonsense approach in the Clare defence.
"I wish to confirm that I am retiring from inter-county hurling with Clare. Thank you to everyone who has helped me on my journey along the way. I would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank my family and friends, teammates and management teams in Whitegate, Scariff Community College, University of Limerick and Clare. Thank you."

Critical Linking: October 16th, 2012
She writes the books in collage – distinct, hermetic scenes that she then arranges and rearranges and stitches together to make a whole, though the overall architecture is always in her mind and she has the chronology to lean on.
Mantel's process is fascinating.
This is why novels are magic, and why they're not only worth celebrating: at some level it's probably necessary that we celebrate them. They are invented untruths, but without those untruths – those literal lies – we'd be severely limited in what we could ever understand about our real selves.
Just because something didn't happen, it doesn't mean it's not true.
I'm not always so benevolent. When Thomas Mallon gave one of my novels a lacerating review, I retaliated by reshelving him. I snatched him from his place beside an author I thought he might enjoy — David Malouf — and wedged him instead alongside Toni Morrison, hoping that her liberal feminism might prove a thorn in his conservative spine.
I would listen to a DVD commentary-style track of Geraldine Brooks shelving her books.
"The next thing I publish is likely to be a book for children."

Currency system AKA: money
In this RPG there is a money/currency system very similar to the one you use today! The currency spent in this RPG is called simply gold. Unlike most money systems today there are only two different amounts in North America there are pennies, nickels, dimes, dollars and so on but in this rpg there is gold pieces which are simply called pieces and are worth 1$ then there are gold bars which are worth 1,000 pieces and are called k's.
There is practically infinite ways to spend and earn gold but below is a short list to get you started:
Ways to spend gold:
Trading with another character-Example: If I were to trade 1 k for a weapon
Some places may have taxes.
Property like houses or markets
A Anniy-A animal ally
Anything to help in missions like maps, notes, etc
Buying clans/joining
Enter contests
Ways to earn gold:
Trading with another character-Example: You trade your weapon for 1 k
Working for markets
Working for clans
Doing missions/quests
Finding gold
Jobs/earrings for the government
If you own something you can request taxes
Selling items at a market you may own or clan
Creating poisons to sell or food
Teaching someone a way of magiy
Helping someone else with a mission or quest
Winning contests

This week we are re-aluminizing the mirror for our 60-inch telescope. As you'll see below telescope mirrors can get dirty over time. Even with a weekly spraying of CO2 to remove dust, it is eventually time to give them a good washing, strip off the old coating of aluminum and apply a new one.
The process began early yesterday morning with the removal of the science instrument and other components of the telescope. The telescope has a light baffle directly over the primary mirror which needs to be removed before the mirror can be taken out. Members of the staff have to carefully work inside the telescope tube to remove the baffle.
Here's a view from inside the telescope (taken from between the primary and secondary mirrors) looking down at the primary mirror.
The telescope is then brought into the vertical position and locked into place. A cart, made just for this purpose, is moved into position and raised to the back end of the telescope.
The mirror is then unbolted from the telescope and the cart, with its precious cargo, is then carefully lowered.Here is the mirror, safely removed from the telescope and the mirror cell. As you can see it is time to clean it up.
The rest of the process takes place in the dome of 200-inch telescope. In the next post I'll cover transportation, washing, stripping and re-coating the mirror.

Maintaining Spirit
Maintaining Spirit
From childhood on, one of my biggest struggles has been how to deal with the disillusionment a person experiences while navigating through the channels of a less than perfect world. In other words: how could I keep my spirit alive and vibrant, continuously growing instead of diminished by the harsh truths reality often deals out?
At an early age I found myself gravitating towards art and writing instinctively, almost like a blind sprout slowly feeling its way through a cracked rusty can. It wasn't until my early twenties that it began to dawn on me that creativity was not just some sort of eccentric character flaw or outlet, and it wasn't until my late thirties that I began to realize that this quirk in my nature served a valuable purpose: care for the soul.
Daily, in our modern day culture, a great majority of us have our senses bombarded with stimuli that is, more often than not, toxic, toxic and artificial, rather than a way to establish substantial roots. Greed and envy can be bred from what the televison sells, what the advertisements push, that and a prevailing subliminal miasma whose message is this: You are just not good enough.
Surely there is nothing new about me pointing this out. Surely many others must find it odd that in our newspapers running next to real tales of genocide and warfare, there are also ads for clothing and cosmetic surgery. How to make sense of that??
Gravitating to the arts, and also to "day jobs" predominantly in Human Services, often as a direct caregiver, was my attempt to do precisely that, to not only reflect, but to clarify what it means to recognize and feel every facet of existence, both light and its opposite. Still, existing in a vacuum, the artistic spirit can not always necessarily thrive. To live in a shell can be healing but also, at times, cramping, and the only way to keep staying fresh is to try and find out what others are up to, what messages their spirits carry.
Do we need one another for the articulation to occur? Do your bones resound with an answer of "yes"?
I am in my mid-forties now, working mainly in mixed media and enjoying the experimentation process. Glues, glitter, bits of jewelry, buttons and stickers and fabric in addition to paint...These have become part of my tools as much as simple ink scribbling across paper. These are the means to childhood doorways seen with new eyes, and I notice so many others who are also after the same knowledge by similar means.
They are busy making scrapbooks and photos, haunting craft stores and yarn shops. They are passing down recipes, journaling for truth, jotting down home and garden tips. They are getting their hands dirty and laughing, breathing sighs of satisfaction.
From that the spirit rises cleansed and ready to go again, thriving amid chaos.

Transcription termination delimits transcription units but also plays important roles in limiting pervasive transcription. We have previously shown that transcription termination occurs when elongating RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) collides with the DNA‐bound general transcription factor Reb1. We demonstrate here that many different DNA‐binding proteins can induce termination by a similar roadblock (RB) mechanism. We generated high‐resolution transcription maps by the direct detection of RNAPII upon nuclear depletion of two essential RB factors or when the canonical termination pathways for coding and non‐coding RNAs are defective. We show that RB termination occurs genomewide and functions independently of (and redundantly with) the main transcription termination pathways. We provide evidence that transcriptional readthrough at canonical terminators is a significant source of pervasive transcription, which is controlled to a large extent by RB termination. Finally, we demonstrate the occurrence of RB termination around centromeres and tRNA genes, which we suggest shields these regions from RNAPII to preserve their functional integrity.
By acting as roadblocks for elongating RNA polymerase II, a range of DNA‐binding proteins provide a fail‐safe mechanism for canonical transcription termination, thereby preventing pervasive transcription.
Readthrough at transcription terminators is widespread and a significant source of pervasive transcription.
Many DNA binding factors can induce transcription termination by a roadblock mechanism.
Roadblock termination functions independently and redundantly with the main transcription termination mechanism.
Roadblock termination occurs at centromeres and tRNAs to preserve their functional integrity.

I'm doing a podcast with my friends out of the city tomorrow and I am thinking if anyone wanted to send out and ask me questions or Pm me questions whichever everyone is comfortable with. I had to do it for college so I can exceed over 30 or more and I have 46 sadly but the more the merrier so if there was a question you always wanted to ask me then either comment below or shoot me a PM.
*I will not answer anything sexual just thought I throw that out, if you do I will ignore it*

'Brown should rethink EU proposal on VAT'
Could be open season for fraudsters
Gordon Brown has been warned that plans to simplify VAT rules will severely impair the European Union's ongoing battle against tax fraud.
In a letter to the Prime Minister in-waiting the International VAT Association (IVA) has urged Brown to reconsider the "B2B" (business to business) proposal on Europe's escalating VAT fraud problem.
Such a plan would extend the number of intangible services - such as software or licences - that can be traded against borders VAT-free.
The British government had jumped ahead of other European states in attempting to stamp out the likes of Missing Trader Intra-Community (MTIC) or carousel fraud which cost the taxpayer £3bn last year.
But the IVA said that loosening VAT rules to offer a quick fix accounting solution to what is a growing issue "will undermine Europe's fight against VAT fraud and could further exacerbate the significant deficits which already exist in certain member states' VAT receipts."
It also added that such a move would be a slap in the face for small businesses that already face high costs reclaiming VAT on cross border European deals.
As of 1 June, computer chips and mobile phones will be subject to a "reverse charge", effectively preventing carousel fraud on such goods by accounting for VAT at the end of the supply chain.
However, concerns had already been raised that fraudsters would simply move over to goods not covered under the reverse charge scheme. For example, MP3 players could be targeted in the same way.
Last week a House of Lords subcommittee (economic and financial affairs and international trade) concluded that VAT fraud was "out of control", and suggested that the British government needed to introduce a more measured response than simply fire-fighting the situation.
The IVA, which also wrote to European finance members, recommended the adoption of "a coordinated approach" to fight VAT fraudsters and to "resist piecemeal 'solutions' that may have merits in isolation but increase overall risks associated with the movement of fraud into new areas across the EU". ®

LEGAL eagles from throughout the South East came together for the judges' service at Chichester Cathedral today (March 14).
The annual service celebrated the legal profession and welcomes high sheriffs and judges the chance to come together each year.
The event dates back to the Middle Ages, where judges and the high sheriffs would take part in a procession to church to demonstrate they represented the power and authority of the Crown.
Part of the high sheriff's duty was, and still remains, to protect the judges and to arrange these services.
Civic leaders and mayors from around the area opened the event with a procession through the city.
Led by city PC Jimmy Upton, the procession made its way from Cannon Street, through to South Street, West Street and then the cathedral.
They were greeted by the acting dean Tim Schofield and Prebendal School's choir.
Then the judges made their way to the cathedral, accompanied by the high sheriffs of West Sussex, East Sussex, Hampshire, Kent and Greater London.
Then the judges, high sheriffs and civic leaders made their way into the cathedral for the service.
The service itself emphasises the importance of upholding the law for the wellbeing of communities throughout Sussex and also celebrates the work of all those administering justice, law and order in the county.
The acting dean lead the service with hymns and prayers, and several local church leaders came along.
At the end of the service there was a collection for Chichester homeless charity Stonepillow.

Payment processing and accounting: irregular payments: payments with conditions attached
Sometimes we receive a payment accompanied by a letter, or an offer of payment over the phone, that attaches certain conditions to the acceptance of the payment. The general aim of the customer is to gain an advantage from the acceptance of the payment by:
- preventing us from taking any further action or
- obtaining agreement from us to a normally unacceptable proposal.
The more common types of conditions are where the payment:
is less than the amount due and the customer states:
- that it is in full and final settlement
- that banking the payment is acceptance of the conditions.
- clears the tax on the condition that interest is not charged
- is from a conscientious objector who says their tax payment must not be used to fund, for example, military expenditure.
Action to take on receipt of a letter and payment with conditions attached
Where we receive such a payment we can bank it and safely ignore the conditions attached provided the office with collection responsibility writes to the customer immediately to advise them that
- the payment has been accepted 'without prejudice'
- the conditions attached to the payment are formally rejected.
Where the payment is from a conscientious objector, and the customer continues to challenge our response you should write to them including the following wording:
"The obligation to pay taxes is a general one. Tax receipts go into a general pool - the Consolidated Fund - and no part of an individual's taxes can be identified as funding any particular item of expenditure."
Action to take on receipt of a telephone call with an offer of payment with conditions attached
For the purpose of this guidance a payment is a collective term used for a one off payment, a payment in full within the next 5 days, or a Time to Pay arrangement.
We should advise the customer:
- the payment is accepted without prejudice
- the conditions attached to the payment are formally rejected.
Depending on the case we should advise there may be further interest, penalties and/or surcharges.
Other HMRC debts
If the customer suggests that this payment covers future debts or other HMRC debts, you will need to make it clear to the customer that this payment only refers to the debt that has been discussed.
Note: If you do not do this we may be unable to recover other debts.
County Court Proceedings (CCP) Cases
For guidance on the acceptance of payments with conditions attached in CCP cases, see DMBM665680.
Interest Objections
For guidance on how to handle an interest objection, see DMBM405060.

Agency History
The Beaver Lake Mining District, organized on 2 September 1872, was one of several mining districts organized in Beaver County in the early 1870s. One of Utah's major mineral belts extends through the Wah-Wah and Tushar Mountains of Beaver and Piute Counties. Mining in this area prospered throughout the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Beaver Lake miners defined boundaries for the district to include an area ten miles north and ten miles east from the junction of the Beaver River and the stagecoach road from Salt Lake City to Pioche, Nevada (an area north of Milford). The Beaver Lake District was organized in the same year that Congress passed a general mining law validating the already established precedent that mineral deposits in the public domain are free and open to exploration, and locators have the right of possession (
Federal regulation allowed claims to be 1500 feet along a lode with 300 feet on each side. In order to maintain the claim, prospectors were required to do at least $100 worth of work on the claim annually. Local districts could impose additional requirements as long as they were not in conflict with federal law. Originally, the Beaver Lake District limited the width of claims to 100 feet on each side. Beaver Lake by-laws required that location notices be filed within five days of discovery and that they be recorded within 30 days. In 1885 Beaver District miners increased the allowed width of claims to 300 feet and allowed 15 days from discovery to file location notices.
Miners in the Beaver Lake District originally elected recorders for one year terms, but beginning in 1885 recorders served two year terms. Only Beaver Lake claim holders could vote in elections. Original district by-laws obliged the recorder to visit each claim and make its boundaries before recording, and for this service allowed him to collect three dollars. Recorders could collect two dollars for recording each certificate of labor. District recorders kept records in bound books which were open for inspection during office hours.
Beaver Lake District recorders appointed deputies to assist them in carrying out their responsibilities. In 1897 the Utah Legislature enacted a mining law which transferred responsibility for keeping mining records to county recorders. (

Fan calendar project to support Child's Play charity
Dec 27th
A group of talented artists from the Sam & Max community have grouped together in order to support the charity Child's Play, an organisation set up by the founders of the Penny Arcade comic in order to deliver toys to children's hospitals worldwide.
The artists, including users like Hayley the Hedgie and Rubygloommel who feature on this very site's Fan Art page (hint hint!), have decided to create a calendar that'll run from February 2011 to January 2012. They have set up a blog to show off their art as well as to publish news and answer questions about the project.
Providing lawyers don't bust down their doors and shine lights into their eyes, the calendar should be coming together soon and available to buy (with all proceeds going to Child's Play) or in a downloadable PDF file. Head over to their blog and see what's what.
With credit to Hayley the Hedgie for her art used in the news image.

The Holy Quran is the 4th and Final Heavenly Manuscript of Allah SWT that He revealed upon His Last Messenger, Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ. It carries instructions and guidelines that act as great source of enlightenment and clarification in various aspects of life, let alone the religious matters. It is the sole Book in the entire world that compensates its reader with blessings from the Almighty Lord.
Ibn Mas'oad (R.A) narrates that Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allah is credited with one blessing and one blessing is equal to tenfold the like thereof in its reward. I do not say that الم (Alif Lam Meem) is one letter, but '(ا )' (Alif) is one letter, ' ( ل )' (Lam) is one letter, and '( م )' (Meem) is one letter." (Tirmidhi)
The above mentioned Hadith shows that Furqan e Hameed is such a highly Revered Volume reciting each and every individual letter of it results in attaining Ajar (benefit) equal to 10 times of normal prize for good deeds. It consists of Surahs (Chapters) which are based on realization of different topics and themes and are a means of attaining great recompense from the Gracious God. Some of these include Surah Ar-Rahman, Surah Al-Mulk, Surah Al-Muzzammil, Surah Al-Waqiah, Surah Maryam and Surah Yasin etc.
Surah Yasin is 36th chapter of the "Al-Muhaiman", which consists of 83 verses in total. It was disclosed while the Holy Prophet ﷺ was in Makkah. The meaning of the word "Yasin" like many other Heavenly words in the Holy Quran is unfamiliar and is only known to the Best Knowledge of Allah SWT alone. The overall theme of this Marvellous Lesson revolves around general emphasis on the Divine Nature of the "Dhikr"; warning for those who refuse and mock the Almighty; Glorification of God; His Command over everything and return of all to Him.
rewards of surah yasin
It also encompasses tremendous amount of rewards and benefits for its reciters confirmed from various Sayings of the Apostle ﷺ of Allah, which are described below:
The Heart Of The Holy Quran
Heart is the most important organ on which the whole functioning of human body depends. Any problem in its working results in breakdown of the whole body. Similarly, Surah Yasin is the heart of Quran Majeed, which encloses great bounties in itself, and its reading and understanding for Muslims has been very much prescribed by Rasulullah ﷺ:
"Surely everything has a heart, and the heart of the Quran is Yaseen. I would love that it be in the heart of every person of my people." (Tafsir-al- Sabuni Vol.2)
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ after indicating towards importance of heart of everything has called Surah Yasin as the heart of the Holy Quran. It means that it has got immense significance and is the central component of the entire Sacred Book of Allah. It also shows that the Holy Prophet ﷺ has suggested for his followers to memorize it so that it becomes permanent part of their heart and soul.
Single Reading Equals 10 Times Recitation Of Quran
Reading a single letter of the Sacred Book of Allah brings about earning of 10 blessings of Allah. Surah Yasin is among its highly revered chapters whose recitation itself is equal to reading 10 times Quran completely. The Messenger ﷺ of Allah Almighty said:
"Everything has a heart and the heart of the Glorious Quran is Surah Yaseen. Whoever reads Surah Yaseen, Allah records for them a reward equal to that of reading the whole Quran 10 times." (Tirmidhi)
In light of this Hadith, it is evident that studying this extremely valued Chapter of Furqan e Hameed results in earning of an incentive from Allah SWT, which is equivalent to reciting the entire Quran Majeed for 10 times.
Earning Of A Number Of Diverse Kinds Of Returns And Blessings
Reciting Surah Yasin also causes one to acquire a lot of blessings of God. The Holy Prophet ﷺ has been narrated to have said:
"Indeed in the Noble Quran there is a Surah, for its reading will intercede and will be a means of forgiveness for listener. Listen carefully, it is Surah Yaseen, in the Torah it is called Muimmah."
It was enquired, "O' Messenger of Allah, what is Muimmah?"
Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ responded:
"It contains for its reader the benefits of this world, it removes from him the dread of the next life, and it is called Dafiah and Qadhiyah."
It was asked again, "How is this Surah of 'Dafiah and Qadiyah'?"
The Prophet ﷺ replied:
"It takes away from its reader all afflictions and fulfills his need. Whoever recites it, it will be made equal to twenty pilgrimages. Whoever shall listen to it, it will be as thousand dinars, which he has given as charity in the path of Allah. And whoever shall write it and then drink it, it will enter into his heart a thousand cures, a thousand radiant lights, a thousand times more increase in belief, a thousand mercies, a thousand blessings, a thousand times more increase in guidance, and will remove from him all gall and disease." (Tirmidhi)
First of all, this Hadith tells about great bounty of reading this Sanctified Surah, which is the attainment of its arbitration on part of one`s deeds in the hereafter.
Second, it also helps its listeners by resulting in forgiveness of their sins.
Third, it has been called "Muimmah" by Rasulullah ﷺ which means that it assists its reader in attaining the benefits of this world, and it also takes away all kinds of fears of Akhirah (Day of Resurrection).
Fourth, it has also been regarded as "Dafiah and Qadiyah" by the Holy Prophet ﷺ which encompasses a diverse kinds of prizes for its readers, listeners, and writers and drinkers of this Blessed Revelation:
Removal of sufferings, realization of necessitates and single recitation of it being equal to performing 20 times Hajj (Pilgrimage)
Listening to it is comparable to spending 1000 dinars as Sadaqah (Charity)
Upon writing and drinking, it causes curing of thousands of heartily diseases, getting enlightenment, increase in faith, achieving Mercy and Blessings of Allah and His Righteous Leadership, Who will also eliminate one`s all sorts of annoyance and illnesses.
Reciting For The Ones Deceasing
Since, listening to Surah Yasin greatly benefits one with forgiveness of its wrongdoings as discussed earlier; therefore it has also been advised by the Holy Prophet ﷺ to recite it in front of those who are dying so that it may help in their pardoning of sins:
"Recite Yaseen on those who are dying." (Dawud)
As, the last moments before death are very strict and hard to bear, thus, the Messenger ﷺ of God has greatly prescribed for other Muslims to read this Sacred Chapter loud out for the deceasing ones so as to comfort their souls.
In short, Surah Yasin is a highly Revered and Blessed Subdivision of the Holy Quran which enfolds a great deal of benefits and rewards for its readers and listeners. Due to its great honor and importance in one`s life, it has also been considered as Heart of the Sacred Book by the Messenger ﷺ of Allah.

Our Lord! Bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way! [18:10]
Islam has various reasons to urge marriage such as its benefits in safeguarding one's Faith and also because it is the only and an essential element in the proper and righteous upbringing of children and upspring. Marriage in Islam plays a major role in protecting a Muslim from the sins of adultery, masturbation and homosexuality. Marriage takes away the possibility of all evils and sins because after marriage a Muslim is supposed to engage himself with a life sharing partner he has married and vice versa.
Marriage is the Sunnah of our Noble Prophet (PBUH), as well as of the previous Noble Prophets (AS). As the statement of Allah, the Originator, the High is:
"And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad SAW), and made for them wives and offspring" (Ar-Rad 13:38).
Marriage linguistically means to unite and to bring together. The real literal meaning of marriage is to have sexual intercourse; and the metaphorical meaning of marriage is the bond of marriage.
The Muslim scholars defined marriage through various definitions, and one of these is:
"Marriage is such a bond from which the act of sexual intercourse becomes lawful."
One who has adequate means to maintain a family should marry. Marrying ensures modesty and chastity which is vital for a healthy social life.
Islam prescribes matters that contain good benefits both in this world and in the Hereafter and among the greatest benefits of marriage are the following:
Obeying the Prophet (PBUH) and carrying out his Sunnah, because the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry." (Al-Bukhari 5065).
Marriage guarantees physical and spiritual chastity and peace of a person and keeps the couple away from the pitfalls and temptations of the Satan. Chastity is one of the praise-worthy attributes of the believers as Allah (SWT) mentioned it in the following verse:
"And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)" (Al-Muminun 23:5).
Through marriage the couples achieve mutual affection, mercy and love. Allah (SWT) says:
"And He has put between you affection and mercy" (Ar-Rum 30:21).
Through marriage the couple will have righteous offspring. It is the survival of generation and it results in obtaining great and good rewards by having righteous children. Having righteous children or upbringing them on the principle of the Islamic Shariah may, however, be considered among the best form of charity as the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"When a person dies his deeds discontinue, except for three things: Ongoing charity, knowledge which people benefit from, and a righteous son who prays for him." (Muslim 1631).
Marriage is the mean of receiving great rewards for both couples through spending on their children, guarding their chastity, helping them in their problems, protecting them from harms and difficulties and treating them with kindness as the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"No man earns anything better than that which he earns with his own hands, and what a man spends on himself, his wife, his child and his servant then it is charity." (Ibn Majah 2138).
To avoid spending on one's wife and children is miserliness and stinginess which is condemnable. But to keep fulfilling unreasonable legal and illegal needs of the family is also extravagance and squandering, which are both disliked.
The couples also will gain good rewards through having children, upbringing them in accordance with the Islamic teachings, being patient while educating them and making them ones who will call others to the true religion of Islam.
Through marriage Allah (SWT) will enrich the couples and will bless their livelihood. Allah (SWT) says:
"And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman who has no husband) and (also marry) the Salihun (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing (about the state of the people)." (An-Nur 24:32).
By marrying and fulfilling the rights of the husband, the believing woman will enter Paradise.
By having righteous children, the couples will receive good and great rewards in this world and after their death, because righteous children are ongoing charity.
A righteous wife is the better provision of this world. The Prophet (PBUH) said:
"This world is but provision, and there is no provision in this world better than a righteous wife." (Muslim 1469).
The righteous wife is a great favor, because she proves to be a good advisor in worldly matters; she is a good life partner and she assists her husband in matters of the Hereafter; thus both achieve high ranks. On the other hand, the righteous husband is a great favor for the wife too.
In short, the greatest benefit of marriage is protection against a sinful life and the fulfillment of sexual desire through lawful means. This great benefit is the main objective of marriage and should be focused upon at the time of marriage; other benefits will then be achieved thereafter.

The holy Quran is believed by all Muslims as the basis of thinking how they should govern their lives. The Quran says: Those who do not judge by the law which Allah has sent down, are indeed the disbelievers" (Al Maida 44).
When Quran declares something unlawful, no authority can challenge it, therefore no other source of law can go against Quran. For example since the Quran prohibits gambling, any form of gambling is unlawful. All other three sources will agree with this principle and there is no conflict between them.
The Sunnah is the second primary source of Islamic law. It is next to Quran in authority. It is important because Allah Himself gave authority to the Prophet Mohammad (saw) to make laws. The Quran says:"So take what the messenger gives you, and refrain from what he prohibits you." (Al Hashr 59:7).
It is also important because without Sunnah we can never understand Quran. For example, the Quran does not tell us how to perform Salat. The method is given by the Prophet (saw). The Quran and the Sunnah never contradict each other. Sunnah is only an extension and explanation of the Quran. Sunnah is an authority where the Qran is silent. The Quran says: "—He makes pure things lawful for them and impure things unlawful" (Al Aaraaf 157)

The foundation of all Islamic knowledge is revelation contained in the Qur'aan and the Sunnah. Since good dreams are also a form of revelation from Allaah, any legitimate attempt to interpret the symbolism of dreams should rely primarily on the symbolism found in the Qur'aan and Sunnah.
A dream interpreter must listen to the complete story, and its minute details. He also must investigate and find acceptable religious references for each element in the dream. Ifhe does not fully understand the dream, or if he is unable to find such references, then it is better for him to refrain from making up an interpretation. In that case, he will be giving a religious ruling, though dreams relate to psychology.
Indeed, it will be a sin to tell a false interpretation, while one will be rewarded if he remains silent when he does not know the answer. Imam Ibn Seerm was the most renowned master in this science, and he often refrained from interpreting someone's dream. Perhaps, he would interpret only one out of every forty dreams when askedto do so. Of three out of four such dreams, he used to say:
I do not know the meaning of this dream." The dream interpreter must investigate the dream and establish its acceptable religious references. It is related that Imam Ibn Seerm used to spend a good part of the day questioning the person about himself, his life, type of work, living condition, and surrounding circumstance, for a dream interpreter is not a prophet and cannot tell about the future.

Marriage in its relation to religion, specifically Islam, is intrinsically linked to questions of sexual and gender norms. US Muslim communities, extremely diverse in their backgrounds, negotiate marriage in their discourses on a spectrum that constructs 'American' and 'Muslim' as opposing ends, while the realities of American Muslim marriage present a much more richly textured and thus complex picture. Norms and practices are co-developed in a complicated web of gender debates, distinctions of religion from culture, and developments within the American religious, social, and political environment that American Muslims share.

National Association of Attorneys General
Decisions Affecting the Powers and Duties of State Attorneys General
This is another in our series reporting on recent decisions from across the country affecting the powers and duties of state Attorneys General.
Attorney General Cannot Control Governor's Gambling Task Force
Ex parte State of Alabama et al. (Pet. For Writ of Mandamus) No. 1090808 (Ala. May 21, 2010)
The Alabama governor created, by Executive Order, a Gambling Task Force, for the purposes of "promoting and supporting uniform statewide enforcement of Alabama's anti-gambling laws and to carry out the Alabama Constitution's strong public policy against lottery schemes and illegal gambling." The order created a special prosecutor to serve as the commander of the Task Force, who, in that capacity, had "statewide jurisdiction" to "conduct investigations, attend any regular, adjourned or special session of any circuit court . . . for the investigation of or the prosecution of any criminal case or the prosecution or defense of any case related to gambling activity in the State of Alabama." The governor initially appointed a former district attorney to head the Task Force, pursuant to Ala. Code § 12-17-216, which provides for the appointment of supernumerary district attorneys who, "upon request of the Governor, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or the Attorney General" conduct investigations and prosecute criminal cases. The original "supernumerary" district attorney was later replaced as task force head by a current district attorney.
The Task Force conducted a raid on a facility and confiscated a number of electronic gambling machines and some money. No one from the Attorney General's office or the county district attorney's office was on the Task Force. As a result of this raid, a declaratory judgment action was filed by the operators of the gambling facility, and a forfeiture action was filed by the Task Force. Both actions were filed in the Circuit Court for Lowndes County. The trial court held that the statute contemplated that the supernumerary district attorney would act under the supervision and control of the Attorney General. Because the Attorney General did not authorize the filing of the answer and counterclaim in the declaratory judgment action and the complaint in the forfeiture action, those filings must be "regarded as a nullity, just as if they had been filed by a private citizen who claimed to represent the state." Similarly, although the current head of the Gambling Task Force is a currently serving district attorney, he too is subject to the control of the Attorney General. The governor and members of the Task Force appealed the court's ruling.
The Alabama Supreme Court held that the governor's action in establishing the Task Force was within his executive power. The court reviewed the various state constitutional provisions that established the office of governor and enumerated its powers, and stated,
First, if our constitution's grant of "supreme executive authority" to the governor and its charge that the governor "take care that the laws be faithfully executed" mean anything in relation to a matter for which another constitutional officer is also given responsibility, they at least mean as follows: when the governor determines that, whether due to inaction or inadequate action by the other official, it is necessary for him to act lest the law go unenforced, he may act.
The court also determined that Attorney General's common law powers do not conflict with the governor's supreme executive powers, which are still paramount. The court held, "We conclude that the common-law powers that have been "prescribed" to the attorney general do not include the right to countermand the "chief magistrate" where the chief magistrate is acting within the bounds of the power given to him." The court concluded, "the statutes discussing the powers and duties of the attorney general do not authorize the Attorney General to interfere with or to direct and control litigation being pursued by officers who are acting pursuant to directions from the governor [under the applicable statutes]." The court also overruled Ex parte Weaver, concluding that its holding that the Attorney General controls all litigation in the state is inconsistent with the "supreme executive authority" of the governor. In dicta, the court indicated that the Attorney General might be able to intervene in a case brought by the governor in order to represent the public interest.
AAG is Employee of "Law Enforcement Agency" for purposes of jury selection.
People v. Novotny, 2010 Colo. App. LEXIS 364 (Colo. Ct. App. Mar. 18, 2010)
In a criminal trial for murder and burglary, defendant challenged a prospective juror because he was an employee of the Colorado Attorney General's office, representing the state Department of Corrections. Section 16-10-103(1)(k) requires a trial court to sustain a challenge for cause to a prospective juror who is "a compensated employee of a public law enforcement agency." In this case, the court denied defendant's challenge because "the Attorney General does a whole bunch of things besides law enforcement" and "this guy works in an area that's not law enforcement." Defendant used one of his peremptory challenges to excuse the AAG, and subsequently used all of his peremptory challenges. Following prior rulings to the same effect, the Court of Appeals held that the statute applied to "any employee under the control of a law enforcement agency, irrespective of his or her job duties, so long as he or she was under the control of such agency", citing a "concern . . . that one who is employed by a law enforcement agency will favor, or will be perceived to favor, the prosecution side of a criminal case." The court then analyzed Colorado statutes to determine that the Attorney General's office is a law enforcement agency within the meaning of the statute. This classification is supported by the Attorney General's authority to prosecute criminal antitrust and securities violations and handle all appeals from criminal convictions. Therefore, the Attorney General's office is a "law enforcement agency" for purposes of jury selection in Colorado.
Attorney General Qualifications
Bysiewicz v. DiNardo, No. HHD-CV-10-6008194S (Conn. Super. Ct. May 5, 2010)
In a rare case analyzing qualifications for the office of Attorney General, the Connecticut Supreme Court held that a candidate for Attorney General who had practiced law for four years in Connecticut and had then served a decade as secretary of state, did not meet the state's statutory requirement that the Attorney General be "an attorney at law of at least ten years' active practice of the bar of this state."
Susan Bysiewicz filed suit against the head of the Democratic party in Connecticut, as well as the Democratic party and the secretary of state's office (as the agency that is responsible for placing names on the ballot). She sought a declaratory judgment in Connecticut Superior Court that 1) the statutory requirement was unconstitutional or 2) if the statutory requirement is constitutional, her years of service as secretary of state constitute the active practice of law. The court allowed the Republican party of Connecticut to intervene.
Bysiewicz argued that the purely statutory provision requiring "ten years active practice at the bar of this state" is inconsistent with the Article VI, § 10 of the Connecticut Constitution, which provides in part that "Every elector who has attained the age of eighteen years shall be eligible to any office in this state, . . . except in cases provided for in this constitution" and that the statutory requirements violate her right as a Connecticut elector older than 18 years old to serve as Attorney General. Alternatively, she argued that her years in private practice as an attorney and her 11 years of public service as secretary of state, "fulfill[ing] her numerous statutory and administrative responsibilities" and supervising a number of attorneys qualify her for the position under the statutory language.
The trial court did an extensive analysis of Bysiewicz's claims and determined that the statutory language was constitutional, and that "the 'ten years' active practice" requirement of General Statutes § 3-124 must be understood to mean that the Attorney General had 10 years' experience actually engaging in some form of legal practice as a member of the bar of this state, although not necessarily doing so in a courtroom, or on a continuing basis, or with any particular degree of frequency or intensity."
After analyzing each of the tasks that Bysiewicz performed as secretary of state, to determine whether they constituted the practice of law, the court concluded,
For the last eleven years the plaintiff, as Secretary of the State and the state's Commissioner of Elections, has regularly drawn upon her skill and training as a Connecticut attorney to issue rulings, instructions and opinions concerning the administration of elections in this state. Her responses to such inquiries, when issued in written form, are presumed as a matter of law to be correct under General Statutes § 9-3. In addition, the plaintiff has regularly made herself available to give advice to local election officials in connection with properly conducting elections, as is required of her under General Statutes § 9-4. These requests, which are made of her personally almost every day, have frequently required the plaintiff to use her legal skill and training to give proper guidance to election officials for the benefit of the general public – in essence, all who will benefit from a properly held election. The Court concludes that by engaging in the performance of these services in her capacity as Secretary of the State throughout her tenure in office, the plaintiff has engaged in the practice of law for at least ten years.
The Republican Party appealed the court's ruling. The Connecticut Supreme Court issued a single-page ruling, holding that Bysiewicz's was not qualified to serve as Attorney General of Connecticut. The court is expected to issue a detailed ruling soon
New Jersey
Attorney General Office Advice to State Agency is Privileged, Not Disclosable Under State Sunshine Law
Paff v. Division of Law, 412 N.J. Super. 140; 988 A.2d 1239; (N.J. Super. 2010)
The New Jersey Appellate Division issued a decision holding that unpublished Administrative Agency Advice (AAA) letters issued by the New Jersey Attorney General's Division of Law, which interpret the statutes and regulations the Division's administrative agency clients are required to apply and enforce, are not disclosable government records for purposes of the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), because they are protected by the attorney-client privilege.
The New Jersey Attorney General is the "sole legal adviser" for all state agencies, boards and authorities, and is also responsible for "interpret[ing] all statutes and legal documents" for those clients. N.J.S.A. 52:17A-4(e). The Attorney General accomplishes this by, among other things, issuing "legal opinions, known as Administrative Agency Advice letters, whenever a State agency requests legal advice." The Attorney General designates some of these AAA letters as "formal" AAAs and releases them publicly. The remaining letters are considered by the Attorney General's office to be confidential advice, and are not publicly released. Plaintiff made a request under the state's public records act for a list of the topics of all informal AAA letters since 2002, and a request for all indexes of AG informal opinions or AAA letters. The Attorney General declined to respond to either request, citing attorney-client privilege.
A long line of New Jersey court decisions held that the attorney-client privilege exists for advice given by the Attorney General to state agencies. The court therefore focused on whether the subject of the AAAs was attorney-client privileged communication.
Plaintiff argued that this case was similar to Tax Analysts v. Internal Revenue Service, 117 F.3d 607, 326 U.S. App. D.C. 53 (D.C. Cir. 1997), in which the D.C. Circuit found that Field Service Advice Memoranda from the IRS were not protected by the attorney-client privilege because "FSAs issued by the Chief Counsel create a body of private law, applied routinely as the government's legal position in its dealings with taxpayers. It is this quality, not the objective character of the legal analyses in the documents, that [is] significant."
The state argued that the AAAs were "not merely objective analyses of the law, as was the case in Tax Analysts and Coastal States" nor "binding opinion[s]," nor "administrative determination[s]," but were rather "advice by the Attorney General to a client, which the client could accept or reject."[citations omitted]
The Appellate Division held the AAAs privileged on the grounds that "state agencies requesting legal advice from their attorneys concerning the exercise of the statutory responsibilities they are required by law to discharge are entitled to receive legal advice from their attorneys on a confidential basis." The court specifically declined to follow the D.C. Circuit's decision in Tax Analysts, stating, "Nothing in the decisional or statutory law of this State would support the miserly view of the attorney-client privilege that the D.C. Circuit adopted in Tax Analysts . . ." The court concluded,
Thus, unlike the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, we are satisfied that an administrative agency or other public body is entitled to maintain the confidentiality of the legal advice it receives from its attorney concerning the interpretation of the very statutes and regulations that the agency is responsible for enforcing. We see no reason to conclude that such legal advice is any less deserving of the protection afforded by the attorney-client privilege than the advice provided by corporate counsel to its clients.

TECUMSEH - Struggling Tecumseh Products Co. has notified an estimated 3,600 current and former salaried employees that it is terminating their pension plan, but said benefits will continue.
If the U.S. Department of Labor approves the proposal, the Lenawee County manufacturer will end the plan April 30 and take out policies with a private insurance company to keep benefit checks flowing to retirees and to ensure that current employees receive checks when they retire.
"You will not lose the benefits you have earned," Michael Forman, vice president for human resources, said in a letter Feb. 28 to retirees and salaried employees. Those affected include 1,200 retirees, many in southeast Michigan. The firm, a manufacturer of refrigeration compressors and lawn-mower engines, employs about 300 at company headquarters and a distribution operation in Tecumseh. It is unclear how many in the local workforce are salaried employees.
Pension plans of the firm's 3,600 hourly workers in the United States will not be affected, a spokesman said. Seventy percent of the firm's workforce is in South America and overseas, but they are not affected by the pension changes.
Unlike the situation at many companies that terminate traditional pensions, Tecumseh's plans are overfunded. The $594 million in investments they contained as of 2005 - the most recent report available - was $183 million over what was needed to cover current and future obligations, according to federal regulatory filings by the firm.
Tecumseh, a Fortune 1,000 company with nearly $2 billion in annual sales, will use a portion of the fund to reduce debt. The company had nearly $300 million in long-term debt as of Sept. 30, federal filings show.
Tecumseh, founded in 1934 by industrialist Ray Herrick, was highly profitable for many years. But battering by globalization and rising raw material costs turned the black ink into a sizable loss last year.
Directors brought in Alix Partners, a turnaround firm in suburban Detroit, two years ago to try to right the ship. Problems at the firm led to a split between the board and Todd Herrick, the founder's grandson and chief executive officer until January. Board members ousted him as chairman last week after Mr. Herrick threatened to launch a proxy fight to eject directors who oppose him. He retains his board seat, however.
and chief executive officer until January. Board members ousted him as chairman last week after Mr. Herrick threatened to launch a proxy fight to eject directors who oppose him. He retains his board seat, however.
When the pension plan ends, pension checks of current salaried employees will be frozen at amounts already accrued, the company indicated in the letter last week.
As of May 1, the employees will be covered by a new plan, but details were not disclosed.
The transfer of the pension obligation through the purchase of an insurance annuity is not uncommon, said Benjamin Goff, a Toledo benefits consultant.
"Starting about 20 years ago, the trend has been to move away from defined-benefits plans," said Mr. Goff, president of Great Lakes Risk Management Inc. "This is by far the most-practiced option."

Pokemon Go version 1.0.3 has finally been released for iOS phones, and we have all of the parts of the changelog here. The update is the third one that's come out for the game, which has now been released in 33 different countries and has over 14 million players.
Pokemon Go hasn't released without bugs, but the main problems it's had are mostly server issues, as Nintendo and Niantic apparently vastly underestimated how many people would want to play the game. However, it doesn't seem like the update has very much in it. Literally the only thing in the changelog for Pokemon Go version 1.0.3 is that there are minor text fixes.
For the most part, Pokemon Go actually runs very well, even before Pokemon Go version 1.0.3; the only problems that are had with the game appear to, as said above, just be the server issues, which are being constantly overloaded due to the sheer amount of people playing the game.
If anything, things happening in real life are more of a threat to the game, with various people having been injured while playing it through attacks by other people (mainly gang members or nutcases with guns) or falling off of cliffs.
At the same time, there's also been a great deal of good things to come out of the game's release. Nintendo's stock has boomed, and the T-Mobile phone company has announced that they will be adding Pokemon Go to their lists of data usage applications that they won't charge you for, much like streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll.
Nintendo is also reporting a 3 million dollar daily revenue from the game due to its microtransactions system, which allows players to buy more Poke Balls, Lure modules, incense, and other such items that they may need.
There will likely be other, more substantial updates to Pokemon Go in the future, but

I had my Lasik this past Friday and as I mentioned before, everything is going rather well but I have two questions.
I was treated for myopia and my near vision is great right now but distance is still struggling, will this come with time?
And secondly, I'm having a bit of cloudy vision when I am near lights, nothing alarming but it looks like i'm looking through fog when I look towards light. (Also occurs with the television). Should I maybe use less drops? At this point I'm using 1 vial of minidrops each hour.

Hi, I am new and just want to share my experience to see if anyone has any ideas. I am 43 and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1996. Over the past year or so I have been getting pain in my right upper abdomen (below the ribs) This occurs during my period but is definitely not the same as period pain. The pain is made worse by breathing or moving in bed. It has been bearable and I have just assumed it was my Crohns and have upped my Crohns meds when it has happened and then it has gone away after a few days.
Last time I got my period, the pain was horrendous and OTC pain meds made no difference so I went to A&E where they gave me Codeine and Morphine which also didn't help. I was admitted to the AMU overnight and given fluids. Blood tests and X-rays ruled out a Crohns flare and the surgeons ruled out appendicitis. I have had a Ultrasound this morning as they thought it might be gallstones but that was clear. Can endometriosis be seen on an ultrasound scan?
My question is can Endometriosis cause pain in this area? I don't have pain at other times, sex is not painful. I do get some bleeding mid cycle which is my only other possible symptom. I have an appointment with my GP on May 5th and I would like to try and go with some information if it is possible. I am not sure what else it may be!
I am keen to get to the bottom of it as I am self employed and another incident like the last one could lose me a lot of work. Thank you.


text: Wage hike won't cost jobs, claims Alberta Premier Alberta Premier and NDP leader Rachel Notley has attempted to appease critics after it was confirmed the province would raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2018. Speaking to the media, the 52-year-old addressed concerns that the wage hike would force companies to cut their workforce and said she didn't think it would come to that. "We've been listening and talking and deliberating, and we believe that we're striking the right balance," she told reporters. Notley made the comments a day after Labour Minister Christina Gray announced cabinet had passed the required regulation to not only raise the rate to $12.20 an hour this October, but also to boost it again in October 2017 and once more in October 2018. "One of the things we heard strongly from many of the stakeholders, including business, was the desire for certainty, to know what was coming," said Gray in an interview. "In July, we laid out the plan for all three years, and now we've enacted that plan for all three years." Business groups and opposition critics have been urging Notley's government to rethink the increases or, at least, further investigate their implications on the economy before acting. They say the raises are too much, too fast, and will further cripple businesses already hurt by a protracted slump in oil prices. Amber Ruddy of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business said the province is blindly pursuing an ideological agenda. "This government has ignored their own advisers, entrepreneurs and the facts,'' she stressed. "Every policy that's coming down is a job-killing policy, and it's time to change things." Grant Hunter – with the Opposition Wildrose party – called the move ill-timed tinkering that will be self-defeating when business owners try recovering the cost of higher wages by cutting jobs or raising prices. "Vulnerable Albertans will be affected by this,'' he predicted. Progressive Conservative leader Ric McIver agreed. "The biggest group they're going to hurt is low-income and poor Albertans, because there will be thousands of hours of work eliminated that would have otherwise been available," he said. "Today is a very sad commentary on the state of our government." Despite the criticism, Notley has stood strong and insists the increases are a sustainable way of providing a fair wage to those who need it most. As of October 1, Alberta will have the highest minimum wage amongst all provinces. The territories – Nanavut at $13 an hour and the Northwest Territories at $12.50 an hour – remain higher.
