Knowledge about the functional status of the frontal cortex in infancy is limited. This study investigated the effects of polymorphisms in four dopamine system genes on performance in a task developed to assess such functioning, the Freeze-Frame task, at 9 months of age. Polymorphisms in the catechol-Omethyltransferase (COMT) and the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) genes are likely to impact directly on the functioning of the frontal cortex, whereas polymorphisms in the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) and dopamine transporter (DAT1) genes might influence frontal cortex functioning indirectly via strong frontostriatal connections. A significant effect of the COMT valine158methionine (Val158Met) polymorphism was found. Infants with the Met/Met genotype were significantly less distractible than infants with the Val/Val genotype in Freeze-Frame trials presenting an engaging central stimulus. In addition, there was an interaction with the DAT1 3 variable number of tandem repeats polymorphism; the COMT effect was present only in infants who did not have two copies of the DAT1 10-repeat allele. These findings indicate that dopaminergic polymorphisms affect selective aspects of attention as early as infancy and further validate the Freeze-Frame task as a frontal cortex task. | 2019-04-21T14:39:51 | http://publications.ceu.edu/biblio/abstract/25115 |
Friendship city is located in Maine State, Knox County and has a unique zip code assigned by the US Postal Service Office.
Friendship Area Code is 207 and Time Zone is Eastern (GMT -05:00).
The US ZIP Code basic format consists of five decimal numerical digits assigned to the Friendship City. An extended ZIP+4 code, introduced in the 1980s, includes the five digits of the Friendship ZIP code, a hyphen, and four more digits that determine a more specific location within a given ZIP code in Friendship, Maine.
The Friendship Zip Code is 04547.
If you want to send a mail to Friendship City, you should use the 04547 Zip Code.
In 1983, the U.S. Postal Service introduced an expanded Friendship ZIP code system that it called ZIP+4, often called "plus-four codes", "add-on codes", or "add ons". A ZIP+4 code uses the basic 04547 Zip code plus four additional digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit delivery area, such as a Friendship city block, a group of apartments, an individual high-volume receiver of mail or any other unit that could use an extra identifier to aid in efficient mail sorting and delivery in Maine.

Label and flexible packaging manufacturer, Custom Printed Products has added digital capability to its business through the acquisition of a Mark Andy Digital One. Richard Nicholson, President, Custom Printed Products was first exposed to the inline digital label press in the Fall of 2016 and purchased in October 2016.
Digital One is an entry-level digital label press designed for short and micro run prime labels. The press is made up of 4 color dry toner printing process and a multi-function flexo deck for spot colors, laminates, adhesives or varnishes. Unlike many other small footprint digital devices, Digital One provides inline converting and finishing, delivering ready-to-ship label production.
Custom Printed Products (CPP) is a longtime industry player based out of Bossier City with nearly 50 years in the business. Nicholson founded the company with his partner Robert Waddell in the back of a transmission garage with a Mark Andy tabletop three color press. Since 1971, they have expanded to multiple locations in Bossier City, Louisiana and Edinburg, Virginia. The company employs over 100 people and runs a fleet of 10 Mark Andy presses, one being the newly installed Digital One. Employees are knowledgeable and maintain an average of 15 years of experience in the printing industry.
Nicholson began the search for a digital label press when the company noticed a substantial increase in work that was outsourced. These jobs were shorter runs and had application requirements that were only achievable on a digital device. At Labelexpo Americas 2016, Nicholson and his team attended with the goal of finding a digital label solution that allowed them to bring this work back in-house to meet their evolving business needs.
CPP evaluated Digital One against another well-known toner-based digital device and decided to partner with Mark Andy because of the cost-competitiveness the press manufacturer brought to the table. Digital One is built on a pay-as-you print model with no click charges and is offered at an affordable capital investment level. Nicholson and his production team were also impressed with Digital One’s ability to retrofit all of their tooling to the press.
Since installation, CPP runs 8,000 to 10,00 feet per day on the digital hybrid machine. The company has a varied book of business and prints a variety of labels ranging from motor oil labels to work for clients in the wine and beer market. The ability to bring digital labels in-house has enabled the company to ensure their customers are receiving the highest quality work at a competitive price.
The business reports that the ability to bring in digital work that the company was previously outsourcing has justified the spend on the new press. The company has been able to move short run work they were previously running on a legacy Mark Andy press to Digital One, which provides the ability to fully utilize the full production flexo press. A decision that has proved to be extremely cost effective for the business. With the addition of Digital One, the company is currently running at capacity daily.
Custom Printed Products is committed to its mission of providing high-quality labels and flexible packaging that consistently exceeds customers’ expectations, while positioning them for growth into the future. | 2019-04-20T14:38:23 | http://www.labelsind.com/2018/02/custom-printed-products-adds-digital.html |

Collective action online has many different faces: Protests organised on Facebook, petitions to national government or public deliberations on local matters. They all aim at public goods but vastly differ in how they make use of online technologies to achieve their goals. In line with the theme of the call for papers, we believe in the utility of a comparative approach to identify determinants of success of online collective action. However, to systematically compare single acts of online collective action requires an analytical framework that comprehensively comprises all aspects of an online collective action process that could be relevant for its outcome. We propose such a framework that has been developed by approaching the problem in two steps. From a theoretical perspective, we first identified dimensions from the literature that could be relevant to such processes. Secondly, we used these dimensions to classify several dozen online projects aimed at preparing or reaching collectively bindings decisions. In this process the framework has been substantially refined.
With this focus, we are interested first and foremost in the design – both technical as well as institutional – of processes of online collective action. This framework forms the basis for an analysis of how individual design options and their combinations might impact on the process of participation and lead to certain outcomes. This is part of the objective of a current long-term multi-disciplinary effort based at the University of Düsseldorf. The research project aims at developing both a theoretical understanding as well as the technical foundation of processes to support and enable online-mediated norm setting processes. While we have started with an emphasis on decision-making processes in its various stages, we aim to broaden the framework to also encompass ideally all forms of online collective action, including those less formalized, bottom-up initiatives. | 2019-04-25T12:04:40 | https://ecpr.eu/Events/PaperDetails.aspx?PaperID=1250&EventID=7 |

Digital agencies understand how to make a brand’s visual identity work in today’s multi-screen, multi-channel world. Brands must ensure they go digital-first so that their standards stay consistent.
Audi is one of the latest big brands that has taken on the digital-first approach. They launched their new guidelines on the site which covers everything from basic appearance, through to user interface, and communication media. The guide states that they want the brand to breathe more freely and adopt a new perspective… in other words, digital.
Audi’s new identity features a stripped-back redesign of the long-standing “four rings” Audi logo. The logo is now a flat graphic set in either black or white and is used without the brand name underneath it.
Space rules and responsive behaviour has been fully detailed using a flexable grid and wireframe system.
Line-drawn icons have been incorporated to represent content on the website and the app. This is to represent different functions on the digital screens within cars.
Every detail down to button behaviour, as well as banner animations have been thoroughly detailed. The physical movement of Audi cars has also been used to inform the movement of animated content used on digital interfaces within cars and in brand films.
The overall customer experience along with the sharing of that experience are what defines a brand. A study commissioned by Lithium Technologies found that 27% of 1,000 surveyed adults listed digital communication via a website, blog or social channels as their preferred method of communication with brands. | 2019-04-19T23:00:34 | https://tall.agency/news/a-digital-first-approach-to-branding/ |
A new weather warning has been issued for ice across Norfolk and Waveney.
The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for much of the UK, including parts of East Anglia, from 4pm today until 11am tomorrow.
The warning says ice is expected to form from late this afternoon, lasting overnight into tomorrow morning.
“There will probably be icy stretches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths with some injuries possible from slips and falls,” a spokesman said.
Norfolk Council has said it will be gritting roads from 2pm as temperatures are due to fall to around or below freezing by early evening.
It comes after a night of freezing conditions which saw temperatures dip to -2.4C at Santon Downham and -1.7C in Marham. The average for this time of year is 8C.
Police saw a spike in crashes on the roads due to the ice with officers in Norfolk called to 48 incidents on Tuesday morning.
Coastal areas including Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft and between Cromer and Mundesley also experienced thunder and lightning because of the wintery weather conditions. | 2019-04-20T22:52:54 | https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/fresh-weather-warning-for-ice-1-5317910 |

The little ones may have appeared to be a tad quiet over the last few days. Not so - it is a very busy time for them helping the Easter Bunny. They mainly help by sitting on the Easter Bunny's back and demanding rides. Very helpful indeed.

We use this podcast to talk about God, guns, and the responsible Christian gun owners interests. This week we are joined by "Korby Taylor, Host of the Wild Game Hunting Podcast"
Seems Earl & Tommy went out deer hunting and got a nice buck. They each grabbed an antler and started pulling the deer through the woods. But since the rack was so big it kept getting caught on trees slowing them down. Just then another hunter came by and suggested dragging the deer by the hind legs. They gave it a try and soon Earl said to Tommy "Hey this does make it a lot easier!" Tommy replied "Yes it does, but we keep getting farther from the truck!"

Weekly Bible Verse: Matthew 8:28-34 (ESV) 28 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the “Gad-a-renes”, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way. 29 And behold, they cried out, “What have you to do with us, O Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”30Now a herd of many pigs was feeding at some distance from them. 31And the demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.” 32 And he said to them, “Go.” So they came out and went into the pigs, and behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the waters. 33The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

The Yamaha NS-SP1800BL is a 5.1-channel home theater speaker system that is capable of delivering thunderous sound performance at a very good price. They are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find that truly represent great value for money with phenomenal sound performance. The entire system comes with four 2-way satellite speakers with a 2.5” woofer and ½” tweeter, a 2-way center speaker with dual 2.5” woofers and a ½” tweeter, together with a 8” 100W cube high powered subwoofer with wall hanging capabilities. The speakers are all magnetically shielded and come with Yamaha’s advanced active stereo technology where the speaker and amplifier work together to cancel out impedance and provide high quality sound performance. The entire system also works to provide wide-range frequency response from 28 Hz to 50kHz, and delivers rich and full surround sound with crystal clear accuracy. The speakers also come with a removable grill cloth which keeps the dust out and prevents direct exposure to the acoustic drivers. Overall, the Yamaha NS-SP1800BLs are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find in a 5.1-channel speaker setup and we highly recommend them.
The Verdict? The Yamaha NS-SP1800BLs are high quality 5.1-channel speakers that provide an incredible home theater listening experience at a budget price. They are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find if you are looking for a decent sound system that can deliver crystal clear sound performance. The satellite speakers and center speakers produce crisp highs, very detailed midrange and produce a detailed sound field that makes you feel immersed in the music. Watching movies with this setup was a thoroughly enjoyable and thrilling experience, with deep sound effects and great low-end frequency response from the powered subwoofer. While these speakers are not audiophile-level speakers, they certainly do pack a punch in terms of sound quality and are highly value for money. The speakers also feature a simple and minimalist design with magnetic shielding which makes them versatile enough to place around your home without getting any static noise or interference from nearby cables. The NS-SP1800BL certainly tops this list as some of the best surround sound speakers overall in terms of quality and affordability, and we highly recommend them.
The Klipsch HD1000 are hands down some of the best surround sound speakers that can produce incredibly good high-definition sound and are now selling at a very good discounted price. The entire system consists of five identical satellite speakers to create very detailed sound performance, and a powerful 10” subwoofer for deep bass response. The subwoofer comes with customizable settings which you can adjust to get optimal bass output. The two-way satellite speakers utilize an aluminium tweeter loaded in a MicroTractrix horn and dual 2.5 mid-bass drivers in a ported enclosure to produce dynamic and realistic sound from a very compact cabinet design. The frequency bandwidth of the satellite and center speakers is a wide 41Hz to 21kHz which is pretty good. The HD1000s are designed to turn your living room space with a flat panel TV into a home theater system. The speakers have a digital output capacity of 200 watts RMS with 420 watts peak power; we would recommend an amplifier with at least 100 watts per channel to drive these speakers. The HD1000s are also magnetically shielded which prevents the speaker from getting static interference from nearby cables. Overall, the Klipsch HD1000s are some of the best surround sound speakers that produce full range HD sound and we highly recommend them.
The Monoprice 5.1 channel speakers are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find at a budget price. The entire system includes four satellite speakers and a center channel speaker for mid and high range frequencies, together with a 60-watt 8” powered subwoofer to handle low frequency responses. The center speakers use two 3” shielded mid-range cones for clear dialogue and vocal reproduction, while the satellite speakers use a 3” cone and ½” dome tweeter for crisp highs. The 8 ohm speakers can handle up to 125 watts of power from your home theater receiver with a frequency range of 150 Hz to 20 kHz. The subwoofer is powered by a 60 watt RMS amplifier which drives a downward firing 8” cone. The subwoofer can handle frequencies from 50 Hz to 250 Hz and includes adjustable crossover frequency and volume balance controls. The entire package also comes with mounting brackets for the satellite speakers which is great. Overall, the Monoprice 5.1 speakers deliver crisp and powerful sound performance at a budget price range and we highly recommend them if you are looking for a cheaper option for your home theater setup.
The Verdict? The Monoprice 5.1 sound system is highly value for money and delivers quality home theater sound at a budget price. We liked the bass response from the subwoofer which sounded really deep and punchy. The satellite speakers very good full range sound with great clarity and detail; listening to an orchestra performance with this setup felt as though we were sitting in a real life concert hall. Watching movies with this setup was also a very enjoyable experience with good sound effects and decent stereo imaging. You can also crank up the volume on these speakers and they will not distort; the bass is smooth without any distortion at low volume levels. We also liked the fact that the speakers are magnetically shielded and come in a compact cabinet design which blends in easily into modern home décor. They also take up less space and are great for smaller or cramped spaces. The speakers come with wall mounts which is really convenient for installation; do note that you will require a decent amplifier to power these speakers and to connect to your DVD player or TV set. If you are looking for a cheaper option, we have no doubt that the Monoprice 5.1 speakers are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find that will deliver a great home theater experience without compromising on the sound quality.
The Logitech Z506s are an incredibly versatile set of surround sound speakers you can find that are available at a budget price. It is a 150 watt peak power 5.1 speaker system which delivers deep, rich surround sound, with left right and center channel speakers, two rear satellite speakers and a ported down-firing subwoofer which pumps out deep and clean bass. The Z506s are capable of delivering rich 3D stereo sound in a 5.1 surround setup even from 2-channel stereo sources, although you shouldn’t expect too much from these speakers. They work straight out of the box by connecting them to the 3.5mm or RCA inputs. The right speaker also comes with nice volume and power controls for added convenience, together with a headphone jack if required. You can also adjust the bass knob on the dedicated subwoofer according to your music preferences. They are incredibly versatile speakers that support multiple connection options – you can use your computer sound card to connect via six-channel direct inputs for true surround sound, or use the 3.5mm or RCA inputs to play music from two channel sources. The speakers also have the capability to connect up to two devices simultaneously without the need to switch between them. If you are looking for a versatile surround sound speaker system at a budget price, the Z506s are definitely the ones you are looking for.
The Verdict? The GPX HT050Bs are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find at a very good price with a sleek and stylish design. They are designed to be really compact and can fit easily into small and cramped spaces, but produce extremely crisp and powerful sound. We were very impressed with how good these speakers actually sounded in real-life with crisp highs, very good midrange and powerful bass impact. They are really easy to setup and don’t occupy too much space, which is ideal if you are looking for a decent home theater system for your apartment. That being said, we felt that the cabling length could be improved and the fact that the speakers do not come with a remote may pose some inconvenience if you want to adjust the volume and bass. Overall, the GPX HT050Bs are great entry level home theater speakers with a very sleek and stylish design and are some of the best surround sound speakers you can find at a budget price that delivers incredible sound. | 2019-04-26T14:09:28 | http://gearopen.com/audio-video/top-20-best-surround-sound-speakers-of-2017-69362/ |
To make this work you have to truly believe your fitness plan will be better for your well-being; without that it will be harder to committing to your workout routine. Focus on yourself when exercising and only reach for goals that are realistic to your particular fitness level and abilities. For example, if you are just starting out with cardio, try to challenge yourself by committing to doing a race or competition in the future. Don’t force yourself into running a full marathon mere weeks after you begin training; start with small races and events that are both challenging and realistic for you personally.
If you are new to training, try not to overwhelm yourself with your first batch of workouts. You will get to where you want to be physically eventually, but don’t think you need to train like a professional body builder right away to achieve those goals. This approach will likely cause both injuries and discouragement. Instead, take baby steps each time you train. If you go for your first run and can only make it a half mile, try to shoot for three quarters of a mile the next time. Success is always gradual.
Nobody has a perfect first workout and nobody achieves their goals in just a few exercises. Every workout takes practice and each one will become easier and easier with practice.
Try not to reinvent the same routine you do every time. Dedicate different days of the week to different types of exercises, whether it be strength training, cardio or yoga. Try to hit all major muscle groups at some point throughout the week and alternate between machines and free weights when strength training. Workout varieties will help to keep things interesting as you continue to work on your fitness plan.
Planning ahead always helps when it comes to committing to fitness goals. Schedule your workouts for each week to stay both dedicated and organized. You can also use your calendar or schedule to mark down any fitness goals that you may be working toward. It is always best to keep your workout times as consistent as possible to force your mind into believing that you should be working out at a particular time each day. Calendar and scheduling apps also make it easy to set up things like alerts to let you know when your workout time is approaching.
Having a workout partner that shares similar fitness goals is a great way to make sure that you both stick to your routines. Having a partner gives you someone to check up on your progress as you train and can get rid of the monotony of exercising. Friendly competition is always a great way to keep you motivated throughout your workout sessions as well.
Diet and exercise go hand in hand so you are not going to make it very far with your fitness plan if you’re eating cheeseburgers on a daily basis. Try to find new recipes that may inspire you to both eat healthy and make a habit of cooking for yourself. Cooking not only allows you to have control over what you eat but it also keeps you active.
These days there is no need to shell out the cash for a gym membership. Besides, your commute to the gym is just a waste of valuable training time anyway. Brands like SteelBody, Marcy and Bionic Body allow you to get fit in the comfort of your own home with affordably priced, top quality home gym equipment that will fit perfectly in your garage, spare room or other dedicated workout space. Shop marcypro.com for anything from strength training all-in-one home gyms to portable cardio equipment to fitness accessories. | 2019-04-20T10:14:14 | https://blog.marcypro.com/2015/12/29/8-tips-for-sticking-to-your-fitness-plan/ |
Environmental services information and results can also be provided with a Bartlett Inventory Solutions inventory and management plan, using the i-Tree software suite developed in part by the USDA Forest Service. The tool that is primarily used in conjunction with field data collection is i-Tree Eco. The i-Tree software suite also offers several tools that can be used remotely, where no field data collection is required. The BIS team is able to conduct these remote assessments from the office using the i-Tree software, aerial imagery, and details provided by the client. The results from the assessments are then compiled and presented in a complete assessment report. These remote i-Tree assessments can be conducted in conjunction with a Bartlett Inventory Solutions tree inventory, or independently.
Results from i-Tree assessments and analyses include: carbon storage, carbon sequestration, air pollution removal, leaf area/biomass, energy effects, avoided runoff (stormwater runoff), aesthetic value, and reduction in health incidences. These results can become powerful tools for sustainability goals, community relations, and budgeting. | 2019-04-23T06:44:36 | https://www.bartlett.com/environmental-services.cfm |

Imagine using your body’s natural healing process to look younger! Now you can with microneedling treatments at Rejuva Medical Aesthetics. Our microneedling before and after gallery shows you how our double board-certified plastic surgeons, Kian Karimi, MD, FACS, and Chester Griffiths, MD, FACS, use micro-injuries in the skin to improve tone and texture. Microneedling is considered one of the most innovative anti-aging and skin health treatments available for men and women in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and surrounding areas in California.
One of the secrets to looking younger without surgery is your body’s natural healing process. Microneedling is an advanced treatment for lines, wrinkles and lost facial volume that uses microinjuries in the skin to trigger collagen production. Collagen is key to young skin because it provides a support structure that resists wrinkles. As we get older, though, our collagen levels decrease.
Dr. Karimi and Dr. Griffiths recommend microneedling for all skin types. Younger patients benefit just as much as older patients as the treatment can correct small imperfections with almost no downtime.
Microneedling is performed by using a special device that makes micro-perforations in the skin. These tiny “channels” are imperceptible injuries that trigger the body’s healing process to produce collagen to repair the micro-injuries. You can see the results of microneedling in our before and after gallery. | 2019-04-19T21:22:54 | https://www.rejuvamedical.org/before-after-microneedling-los-angeles/ |

On deck for the Berryhill Shopping Center on the corner of Westheimer and Revere: Stanmore River Oaks, an 8-story apartment building planned in place of the site’s existing tenants Antique Pavilion, Prism Cleaners, and the original Berryhill Baja Grill. This Thursday, Houston’s city planning commission will consider the developer’s request to slide the planned building (depicted at top from the north) up to sit just 10 ft. from Westheimer — closer than the existing strip pictured above, behind the variance sign that’s now up on the property.
With the front façade of the building done up entirely for pedestrians, 2 ground-floor garage entrances would go around the corner on Revere St.
From the renderings it appears that their will be ground floor retail options, which many will applaud, but placing it 10’fet from Westminster will definitely be a drawback in it’s curb appeal.
Thanks for finding out about that! Does it have ground floor retail?
I would assume “10 feet from Westheimer” means 10 feet from the right-of-way, not from the curb.
There’s no ground floor retail. Just a leasing office. Look at the first floor plan. It’s all parking other than the leasing office.
The idea of retail on the ground floor has obvious urban appeal, but it seems the new apartment properties along inner-train tracks Westheimer (ironically the busiest road in town) work just fine without any shops on bottom. The Hines deal just to the east, the mid-rise deal just west of Kirby. Westheimer would do well to become a one-way westward complete boulevard in the next decade with San Felipe one-way eastward. It has the retail hubs at the crossing streets Shepherd, Kirby, RO Blvd, and Weslayan.
Life will go on. Amazon, favor, shipt are just going to bring us anything we want to the front door. Yeah isolation!
Residents should demand ground-floor retail since they’re replacing a busy shopping center.
Never ceases to amaze me that busy retail, or restaurant, is removed and the proposed project chooses not to replace it. Isn’t much of the location’s appeal the walkability factor? Isn’t the project adding 100+ new residents as potential customers?
Or, is this another high-end project for the wealthy to invest their money, but never use?
It’s pretty simple. The organization that is spending the money to build this development can make a decision to have GF retail or not. They will probably make this decision based on how much money they can make with one strategy vs. the other. This decision will be informed by market research. We may disagree with their decision but it’s not our money at risk.
RIP Original Berryhill :=( You will be missed.
I like walkability and mixed-use, but have no problem with this building not having any retail on the ground floor. There’s already quite a bit of retail in the area, and the extra density created from this building helps increase the viability of current and future nearby retail centers by creating new customers. The pedestrian right of way will be landscaped and considered, and simply having the building towards the street will help give it some pedestrian scale. If I lived here, I’d gladly walk across the street to a’Bouzy, down Westheimer to the centers on the northside of Kirby and Westheimer, or down to West Ave, Whole Foods, etc. using the smaller residential streets to the south and southwest. Once this project, the Hanover tower, and any others in the area are completed, maybe then would be a good time to redevelop a more dense new retail, or retail/office center (perhaps like Heights Mercantile or similar) that would add to the area retail inventory and become an additional, walkable destination for all these residents.
Joe Elder- They’re not building “10′ from the street,” they’re requesting to build 10′ from the PROPERTY LINE. the back of curb distance to the building will range from 23-30″ (+/-) along Westheimer. But I totally agree, there’s no excuse why they cannot put in a few ground floor retail spaces.
Do the city’s parking requirements even make ground-floor retail a realistic option?
Anytime I see “Vernon & Associates” hired as the lobbiest for a builder in my area I take special note. I’ve found them to be quite personable. However, when a company with that cost associated with it is used for a variance request I look very close at the plans.
I do not blame the builder trying to cram as much as they can on that land. Or hiring lobbiest to work for them. But unless builder adds retail to bottom I humbly suggest that neighbors oppose that to Planning Commission. PS:. My understanding is that the Avalon Apartments across the street will be the next event that we’ll all be back here blogging about. Regards.
@Stephen Smith: The parking requirements make it more challenging for sure. However, on a huge development with a big parking garage like this one, it should be doable. Other similar projects have done it.
THIS JUST IN:. THR BUILDER HAS RECEIVED A TWO WEEK DEFERRAL IN PRRSENTING TO PLANNING COMMISSION. Builder can present different request now. Stay tuned .
Walkability is great, but how about traffic. This is the 6th high density residential (at least) in that area – several still under construction. And yes, I can walk to berryhill, whole foods, etc – but I can’t get out of the neighborhood after 10 am on a saturday.
It’s a good idea to go back to the drawing board on this one. You want to use walkability as a reason to build more on the available lot area, without creating anything to walk to. People that can afford to live in those apartments are also the type that would rather drive than walk in Houston heat if it’s more than a couple or blocks.
Im not saying that shopping center is a jewel of the city, but you can’t just fill the city block by block with condos and apartments without adding in retail or office space on a bottom floor.
The city has spent all this money on fixing the sidewalks and roads, and then they expect to just put a proposal up that doesn’t appreciate the whole reason behind it.
JMM, there won’t BE a Berryhill to walk to when this project gets underway.
I am aware of that Googlemaster. Frederick is on the right track.
Maybe not another Berryhill but they can build a coffee shop that’s walkable. Yes, the French Gourmet is there but too much of a nuisance to cross the street with heavy traffic on Westheimer. I agree; if they want to make Westheimer a one way thorough fare they need more retail not just additional multi-family units. This will not serve its purpose if Westheimer becomes a one way street and people having to drive to get to a retail establishment. I’m glad they are thinking about it.
I’m speaking to the Westheimer street project when referencing money spent on roads/sidwalks.
But, to add to the numerous points already listed, unloading traffic onto revere should be a non-starter. Revere is consistently used as a shortcut to bypass Kirby/Shepherd traffic. You’re dumping tenants of the current apt on Revere and adding more cars onto a needlessly congested road full of cars parallel parked.
Now, besides this less than genuine offer of walkability, let’s talk about flood mitigation. How is any new construction going up without any flood mitigation in the drawings?
Increasing density in a smart way is achievable, and for an area that is already dense, I think it deserves a more serious proposal that is inclusive of the ideas that are already in work for that entire area from 610 to bagby. | 2019-04-23T00:51:09 | http://swamplot.com/corner-of-westheimer-and-revere-now-has-a-higher-residential-calling/2018-07-16/ |

President Clinton called on world leaders Monday to ''end all nuclear tests for all time'' and sent the long-delayed global test-ban treaty to the Senate, where he hopes to overcome Republican objections.
The president met privately with foreign leaders, including Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov, before heading to the Metropolitan Opera's season- opening performance of Carmen.
His submission of the test-ban treaty is expected to stir opposition from GOP senators who don't trust arms control agreements or who insist that testing is needed to maintain a nuclear stockpile.
Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said his Governmental Affairs subcommittee will conduct a hearing next week on whether the U.S. can count on its nuclear weapons to work without testing.
Congress is expected to authorize about $ 900 million for the United Nations, provided the organization does not expand beyond current levels and agrees to put in a separate fund an additional $ 400 million that the United Nations claims it is owed but the United States has contested. The U.N. wants U.S. payments with no strings attached. | 2019-04-19T22:14:11 | https://fas.org/nuke/control/ctbt/news/nws_den.htm |

Mandana voluntarily left her privileged life in Iran to move to Canada in order to achieve her fullest potential as a human and a woman. Through her struggles during her immigration journey, Mandana experienced a gigantic shift in her identity as a woman and was able to achieve tremendous growth and a high level of satisfaction and fulfillment in her journey being a woman. This shift happened through her being able to connect with her femininity, her sense of beauty, passion and purpose. It was through this connection that she was able to become such an influential woman. It then became her new passion to help other women to experience the same strength and satisfaction in their lives and to enjoy living life to their fullest potential. The experience that Mandana describes as “Flourishing”. Coming to realization that how important it is to “Flourish” as a woman, to be beautiful, powerful, passionate and nurturing and to also change the world to a more beautiful, peaceful and harmonious place, Mandana found her life mission to help women to “Flourish”.

Dr. Noah Chivian attended Franklin and Marshall College and received his dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He was a Research-Teaching Fellow in Endodontics and received his certificate in Endodontics from Temple University School of Dentistry. He is a member of OKU, a Fellow of the American and International Colleges of Dentistry and the American Association of Endodontists (where he was the recipient of the Edgar D. Coolidge Award this year), and a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics. He is Past President of the American Association of Endodontists and the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry. He recently completed a three-year term as President of the American Association of Endodontists Foundation. An internationally recognized speaker, Dr. Chivian has contributed to 13 dental textbooks, published papers in numerous professional journals, and contributed several teaching videos to the profession. In addition to maintaining a private practice limited to Endodontics in West Orange, he is an attending in Endodontics in the Department of Dentistry at the Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. He was formerly Director of Endodontics and Director of Dentistry at the same institution. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine (where he received the Alumni Award of Merit) and a Post Graduate Instructor at Indiana University and Loma Linda Schools of Dentistry plus UMDNJ.
Part of the success of esthetic dentistry depends on the dentist’s ability to utilize teeth that have pulps compromised by trauma, or injury. With proven and predictable success rates, dentists can include endodontically treated teeth in their esthetic restorative treatment plans with the utmost degree of confidence. The presentation will highlight preventive and treatment measures to insure maximum success in treating both moderate and extensive restorative challenges. Treatment choices will be presented that will enable the restorative dentist to make intelligent treatment planning decisions.
Don’t fear change. Look around the room at our next general meeting. There’s no longer a “typical” look to a dentist. This is best demonstrated by observing the freshman class at the New Jersey Dental School which has more women than men and includes a wide range of ethnic groups.
The New Jersey Dental Association is highly concerned with providing services that are valuable to both current and future members. Just last month, Jeff Rempell and Trish DeCotiis hosted a discussion with women dentists. According to this group, the biggest issue of concern to women is having limited “extra” time for dental society activities. Since family time is so precious, dental meetings should be minimized in length whenever possible. In addition, younger couples are more likely to be sharing parenting responsibilities, so time issues that have been preventing women dentists from participating in the past, may also affect male dentists in the future.
A continuing education course that will appeal to women dentists is in the works for next spring. NJDA will host the course in three locations to increase accessibility. The dental students and faculty at NJDS will be invited as well as nonmember dentists. The “captive” audience will be surveyed to gain any additional information that may help in planning for the future.
The Middlesex County Dental Society has been preparing for future changes for quite some time. Our Mentor Program led by Ethan Glickman has offered alternate days and times for CE programs to better serve our diverse group of members. Scott Galkin and the Membership Committee will be surveying nonmember dentists to discover what would interest this group in joining. We also need feedback from our current members to keep us heading in the right direction. Please share your thoughts with any one of our Executive Board members or our Executive Secretary, Marlene.
I want to thank Steve Lawson and Ira Rosen for spending numerous hours on the budget for the upcoming year. We have come up with a plan for reorganizing some of our expenses in order to create a more accurate budget. This will help us to decide how much to charge for courses, etc. We have also discussed the creation of a standing committee called the “Budget and Finance Committee”. This group would consist of the Treasurer, President-Elect and a Chairman. Ira Rosen would be willing to chair this committee.

Dr. Robert Cowie presented his program “ A Simplified Methodology for Full Mouth Rehabilitation Altering Vertical Dimension ” and “ How Do You Select the Best Materials for Your Patient’s Crowns & Bridges ” on Wednesday, September 17,2003 at St. Peter’s Medical Center. 6 CEU credits were awarded to the 34 members who attended.
Dr. Cowie explained how to test an increase in vertical dimension without using a removable appliance and assess phonetics and esthetics in the mouth before prepping a tooth. He also discussed how to do a 28 tooth reconstruction in manageable sextants and avoid the 14 unit full arch impression. In addition, Dr. Cowie reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of various crown and bridge materials that are available for each clinical situation and how preparation design should limit our choice of materials. This program was truly appreciated by all those who attended and we certainly picked up several clinical pearls to take back to the office and use for the next day.
Dr. Steven Eisen presented his program “ Arestin: Systematic Approach: Management of Periodontal Disease ” Thursday, October 16,2003 at St. Peter’s Medical Center. 2 CEU credits were awarded to the 20 members who attended.
Dr. Eisen discussed the evolution of Locally Administrated Antibiotics [LAAs], with emphasis on the latest entrant to the LAA market (Arestin), as effective adjuncts to SRP in the management of perio disease. In addition, he presented the rationale and importance of establishing a Periodontal Treatment Protocol [PTP] to help optimize the treatment of perio disease from a patient care and practice management perspective.
After attending this presentation, we understood the limitations of scaling and root planning [SRP] as a sole therapy for periodontal disease and the improvement that adding an LAA to initial SRP offers over SRP alone. This seminar was very well presented and the information that was given to us about Arestin now gives us an opportunity to offer our patients the latest in clinical treatment therapies.
On April 14, 2004, we will be presenting a full day course featuring Dr. Vincent Kokich at the Pines Manor. The subject of Dr. Kokich’s course will be Interdisciplinary Management of Anterior Esthetic Dilemmas: When, Why, and How??? We are arranging for Corporate Sponsorship for the course.
There will be a House of Delegates meeting at the Pines Manor on Wednesday, November 12th.

This new law has among it’s features provisions that make it a second degree crime “if the person knowingly commits five or more acts of insurance (healthcare claims) fraud, …and if the aggregate value of (the benefit) obtained or sought to be obtained is at least $1000.” The amounts involved in attempted (unsuccessful) frauds are also includible.
Discussion covered scanned impressions being more accurate than poured impressions. The State Board determined that diagnostic casts were the standard of care and should be utilized. No resolution was passed.
It was reported that the nitrous oxide regulation regarding hygienists monitoring has been given the green light and will be published in the N. J. Register in October.
Currently working on Give Kids A Smile and the Children’s Dental Health Month.
The “Day at the Circus” will be March 7 but there will be no suite and no post party.
The speakers for this year have been finalized and the Annual Session dates for 2005 and 2006 have been secured.
The Board Retreat will be held November 15-16, 2003. The meeting on Sunday morning will discuss diversity in NJDA and a program has been set for the spouses to discuss preparation for Annual Session.
Had a successful meeting with the student leaders of all the classes at UMDNJ with over 30 students attended and she was pleased with the exchange of ideas and needs. She stressed what NJDA is and what we feel we can do for the students and asked what the students thought they needed from us.
The Council on Dental Education has money budgeted for scholarships for dental assistants . This year there will be four (4) recipients; 2 from Cumberland, 1 from Camden and 1 from the Institute of Dental Health in Fairfield.
There will be a Continuing Education course held on December 3rd at the Elizabeth Hilton on the paperless practice. It’s a half-day course, 4 hours and 4 credits, for both staff and doctors.
The Week End Study Club registrations are very good. Four have been scheduled. Dr. Michael Dzitzer, Trustee from Atlantic-Cape May, was the speaker at the first study club and he did an excellent job. The WeekEnd Study Clubs are attracting a new group of people which, in turn, will meet with other groups.
Distributed a resolution from the Council on Membership concerning the conversion of its software to the ADA tripartite system and assessing the accuracy of “previous balances”. In the past we have carried old balances forward, however, the system does not define for what membership year the money is owed. In addition, in the overwhelming majority of cases, no money is actually owed because the dentists elected to forego membership. There are members who come and go.
We will be following the ADA approach as of July 1st in that nothing will be mailed to members that have not paid their dues. If you have not paid your dues, you will be dropped from membership for the year. Members can always rejoin. However, those members that have not paid will affect life membership. To attain life membership, you must have 30 continuous years as well at reach the age of 65 or be a member for 40 years.
Membership audit is ongoing. It has been estimated that this membership comparison between NJDA membership records and the ADA tripartite system will take approximately seven (7) weeks with two people working seven hours a day and five days a week. This will only identify discrepancies between the two systems. We then have to identify which data is correct. The audit is a very time consuming job. Two temporary employees were hired to assist with this project.
She reported briefly on the Women’s Initiative. They have not been able to secure a definite leader but have invited 5 or 6 women to a one night dinner event to discuss specific needs of the female practitioner and just how NJDA can assist them.
ID Team has been temporarily put on the back burner in light of other pressing priorities. They have reached out to the attorney general’s office to get a contact person so that the NJDA ID Team will have one person to contact. At this point, the NJDA is looking into training, the identification of more members and the process by which that will occur. The purpose is to develop the New Jersey Identification Dental Team as an organization that the New Jersey State Government will call upon in time of need.
Developing a new program for both doctors and spouses on the purchase of non-dental items. He called it the “Members Edge” Program. This is a discount program of items at various locations at different percent discounts for families; i.e. Barnes & Noble, Brooks Brothers, auto service and restaurants. Members will receive a brochure listing names, addresses, phone numbers and percentage of discount. This program is anticipated to be available in January.
The Legislature remains on recess and is not expected to reconvene until after the November elections. Many races where dentists are running for election are very close and he encouraged all members to get out and vote.
CDT 4 Codes will be effective beginning in October. Moreover, the ADA has clarified the instructions for filling out claim forms. It is important to remember that claim forms will not be processed unless they are properly completed. The good news is that insurance companies cannot manipulate the codes on the forms.
However, it was reported that Horizon has recently sent out new EOB statements that use language making a determination that alternative treatments were available and should have been used. This is a serious problem and is being investigated thoroughly by both Ms. Moskal and Mr. Meisel.
Dr. Rempell and other NJDA members attended a recent dinner with representatives from Delta Dental. He expressed the NJDA desire to streamline the audit process so that it doesn’t take months.
He further reported that he will be attending a meeting tonight with the Commonwealth Dental Society to open lines of communication and to encourage cross membership.
Dr. Frank Graham pointed out that the conclusion in the ENVIRON Report on page 13 indicates that the amount of mercury in the form of amalgam entering surface waters in New Jersey is approximately 0.009 pounds per active dentist and that the annual cost of reduction through the use of amalgam separators in NJ would range from approximately $157 to $497 million per ton. Environ concluded that the estimated cost to reduce mercury discharges from New Jersey dental facilities was greater than costs relative to other industries that the USEPA has chosen not to regulate. However, Dr. Graham stressed the importance of members using the Best Management Practice (BMPs)for amalgam waste and requested that this information be published in the Capsule and the Journal.
An article appeared in the September issue of the ADA News concerning a new alumni group for dentists from Rutgers. They are looking to recognize Rutgers alumni who have become dentists. The group will hold its first meeting March 27, 2004 on the New Brunswick campus and Dr. Michael Alfano, Dean of New York University College of Dentists, will be the keynote speaker. If this applies to any member, or if you know of any Rutgers alumni, who are dentists, to please contact Dr. McCormick.
While serving on the Board of Trustees or any councils of the New Jersey Dental Association (“NJDA”) a person shall not express opposition to or espouse a position inconsistent with one set forth by the NJDA before any legislative or regulatory body or with the news media.
The subcommittee concluded that further discussion was unnecessary and that the resolution should remain as written, no changes needed.
Dr. Robert Hersh reported that the current numbers for Annual Session indicate there will be a surplus of approximately $15,000 - $20,000. Some additional monies are still coming in.
Dr. Hersh attended a meeting just prior to today’s Board meeting regarding healthcare employee benefits. Guardian HealthNet, the current staff healthcare provider, has increased the premium 15.2%. NJDA projected budget increase for 2004 was 15%. To continue continuity we will keep the current provider with unchanged benefits.
Dr. Walter Chinoy reminded the Board that the next Board meeting will be held after the House of Delegates meeting. The House meeting will be held November 12, 2003, at 9:30 a.m. in the Pines Manor, Edison, NJ. Dr. Bernie McDermott, 4th District Trustee, will address the House.
To date, there are two resolutions; the Budget and the Membership Jurisdiction on component membership.
Mr. Arthur Meisel reported that an application for specialty recognition for Craniofacial Pain has been filed and will be considered by the ADA House of Delegates in 2004.
Mr. Meisel reported that the FTC is conducting an inquiry into the South Carolina State Board of Dentistry as well as conducting inquiries into various state association’s codes of ethics. NJDA proudly provided our documents. He also reported that the California Supreme Court has agreed to review the dismissal of the amalgam suite. Mr. Meisel asked the Board if it had any objection to his filing an amicus brief, if requested by the California Dental Association or by the ADA. The sense of the Board was it had no objection to the filing of an amicus brief.
The sub-committee recommended bylaws change that deletes the requirement that a member must belong to the component society where their main office is registered with the State Board of Dentistry. This change will be voted upon at the House of Delegates meeting in November 2003.
Dr. Jeffrey Linfante, Director of Administration and Recruitment for the UMDNJ Dental School, provided a power point presentation on student admissions and recruitment programs. He discussed the reasons for students going into dentistry; i.e., self-employment and what amounts to a freedom of insurance industry stranglehold. There is clearly a changing diversity of students. He discussed some of the recruitment programs to aid students with tuition, mentoring and even going into high schools to establish new recruitment arenas. Also quality of applicants and quantity are up.
Dr. Cecile Feldman, Dean of the UMDNJ-Dental School, thanked NJDA for all the support we have given the school and especially for the financial support with the new construction. She announced some new administrative organizational changes. Drs. Tony Volpe and Cosmo DeSteno are co-chairs on the Campaign Leadership Committee. Dr. Cosmo DeSteno is the new Vice Dean of the Dental School, Dr. Michael Conti, the new Assistant Dean for Clinical Affairs and Dr. John Ricciani, the new Director of Patient Services.
Due to recent budget cuts from the State, the Dental School had an 11% decrease, which is approximately a 1.2 million-dollar cut for this year. GME Federal funding for residents has been put on hold, but residents prior to October 1st will be grandfathered in. She reported that the ADA has been very active in helping the school deal with lobbying.
Dr. Feldman was pleased to announce that appointments to all department chairs have been filled except the Department of Community Health. The search is still ongoing. | 2019-04-25T05:50:46 | http://mcdsofnj.org/member/archives/2003/November/archives1103.html |
Balance-D - Your body needs fiber; your body needs Balance-D.
Sisel is setting a new standard in the category of fiber by creating Balance-D™. Fiber is important to everyone’s diet, but there are other basic elements that are often overlooked that are vital to a healthy gastrointestinal tract. These elements are prebiotics, probiotics, fiber, and Vitamin D. Balance-D combines all of these, creating a synergistic blend that offers optimal digestive support.
Prebiotic: Chicory root helps to create an ideal environment where probiotics can thrive. Prebiotics are food and fuel for probiotics.
Probiotic: Rhamnosus, Acidophilus, and Bulgaricus are all infused in Balance-D. When these probiotics enter your body, they flourish because of the prebiotic found in Chicory root. When probiotics are broken down, they eradicate the harmful bacteria from your GI tract.
Organic microfiber: Apple, Chicory root, and Maltodextrin are the microfibers that work by creating long chain polymers that grab, bond, and remove excess waste from the lower intestine.
Vitamin D: Balance-D contains 300IU of Vitamin D per serving, which helps your body absorb calcium, promotes bone growth, and is linked to fighting against breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, depression, weight gain, and other maladies.
Balance-D stands alone in the world of fiber supplements. It is the most comprehensive, effective, and balanced fiber product on the market.
Take 7 capsules with 8-16 oz. of water once daily.
Root chicory contains volatile oils similar to those found in plants in the related genus Tanacetum which includes Tansy, and is similarly effective at eliminating intestinal worms. All parts of the plant contain these volatile oils, with the majority of the toxic components concentrated in the plant’s root.
Chicory is well known for its toxicity to internal parasites. Studies indicate that ingestion of chicory by farm animals results in reduction of worm burdens, which has prompted its widespread use as a forage supplement. It also shown to increases absorption of calcium and other minerals in humans.
While Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103) is able to survive the acid and bile of the stomach and intestine, is claimed to colonize the digestive tract, and to balance intestinal microflora, evidence suggests that Lactobacillus rhamnosus is likely a transient inhabitant, and not autochthonous. Regardless, it is considered a probiotic useful for treatment of various maladies, as it works on many levels.
Lactobacillus acidophilus (New Latin ‘acid-loving milk-bacillus’) is a species of gram positive bacteria in the genus Lactobacillus. L. acidophilus is a homofermentative, microaerophilic species, fermenting sugars into lactic acid, and grows readily at rather low pH values (below pH 5.0) and has an optimum growth temperature of around 37 °C (99 °F). L. acidophilus occurs naturally in the human and animal gastrointestinal tract and mouth. Some strains of L. acidophilus may be considered to have probiotic characteristics. These strains are commercially used in many dairy products, sometimes together with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus in the production of acidophilus-type yogurt, or acidophiline.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus (until 2014 known as Lactobacillus bulgaricus) is one of several bacteria used for the production of yogurt. It is also found in other naturally fermented products. | 2019-04-26T08:54:35 | https://sisel.net/sv/products-se/balance-d/ |
2016 has been a critical year for EU trade policy, with long and laborious negotiations with a number of international partners.

good product! will buy it again..
been looking a small parts fo my specialized enduro, and jensonusa got it!
Got two of these to replace the exisiting ones on rear suspension, and this store was one of very few that actually had these bearings in stock.Had some issues extracting the old ones, but easily installed the new using a vice and couple of shims.The blue plastic seal is quite fragile - you might end up damaging it during installation. I did (before using the vice). So I'm glad I ordered more than just the two I needed. | 2019-04-21T11:03:51 | https://www.jensonusa.com/Sealed-Cartridge-Bearing |
Taking cues from its Brazilian-inspired architectural typology, Toorak Residence sees strong clean lines and bold geometries come together with a refined luxury. The palette is purposely minimal and restrained, with warm hand-charred timber battens and vertical screens externally encasing the form. The bladed screens act primarily as privacy, allowing for an openness and connection between inside and out. The play on shadows is also considered, as a dance across the site and landscape.
The main level is dominated by an open planned living, dining and kitchen space with uninterrupted views to the landscaping beyond. The upper floor then sees a series of more intimate spaces, libraries, bedrooms and utility. The glowing opaque glass block wall adds an intimate glow to these spaces, while also providing a mottled screen from its residential setting. Toorak Residence is a deliberately sophisticated and curated series of volumes, that allow for a connected life, and a sense of un-encumbrance. | 2019-04-18T21:12:36 | https://www.heckerguthrie.com/projects/toorak-residence-4 |

Retired law enforcement officers will get exemption from Cuomo's Anti-Gun Law.
If signed into law, retired police officers, peace officers and certain federal law enforcement agents wouldn’t be subject to New York’s ban on high-capacity magazines, so long as it was purchased for their official duties. Under state law, all magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are prohibited, though they can only be loaded with seven rounds away from a gun range or competition.
The Senate passed the bill around 2 a.m., which drew significant criticism from nearly half of the Senate GOP, which shares control of the chamber with the four-member Independent Democratic Conference. The measure passed by a 49-14 vote and was sponsored by Sen. Martin Golden, a Brooklyn Republican who is a retired member of the NYPD.
Fourteen Republicans voted no: Greg Ball, John DeFrancisco, Hugh Farley, Joe Griffo, Tom Libous, Kathy Marchione, George Maziarz, Mike Nozzolio, Tom O’Mara, Mike Ranzenhofer, Patty Ritchie, Jim Seward, Cathy Young and Lee Zeldin. All opposed the SAFE Act in January; Zeldin was excused from that vote because he was attending to Army reserve duties out of state, but issued a statement saying he would have voted no. | 2019-04-22T16:57:53 | http://www.waynecountyscope.org/news/retired-police-officers-get-exemption |
Part two of this adventure revolved around staying with friends and friends’ families.
For two weeks I traveled the Midwest, sometimes camping, sometimes staying with people I knew (or people of people I knew.) It turns out I know a lot of Midwesterners, and their company was a nice reprieve from solitude.
In Macomb, Illinois I stayed with my girl Ricci’s mom, Beth. In Chicago I stayed with my old coworker Kevin. In Athens, Illinois (a charming little town outside of Springfield) I stayed with my old roommate Zac’s family. Zac, in case you didn’t read this post, is one of several reasons why I asked Joe out. He also threw me a sweet bon voyage dinner party the night before I left town, at which he cooked my favorite authors’ favorite foods. (Hemingway’s gazpacho was delish.) Zac’s marrying us in September. I’ve also convinced him to MC the event. | 2019-04-24T21:05:47 | http://www.whilemyboyfriendwassleeping.com/category/john-steinbeck/ |
What would it mean to discover that we’re designed to live extraordinary lives that include self-healing, extended lifespans and deep intuition? Is it possible that these advanced states of consciousness, achieved by monks, shamans, yogis and mystics, and considered rare in the past, are actually meant to be a normal part of everyday life? How differently would we live our lives knowing that we’re the result of an intentional design rather than the product of a chance evolutionary process? We no longer need to ask these questions as “What if?” Recent discoveries ranging from human evolution and genetics to the new science of neuro-cardiology (the bridge between the brain and the heart) have overturned 150 years of scientific beliefs when it comes to the way we think of ourselves: our origin, our capabilities and our potential. From longevity and the way we age, to our ability to sense the future before it happens and tune our intuition deeply to one another and all life, only recently has science confirmed what we commonly sense in our childhood—that we’re not what we’ve been told, and much more than we’ve ever imagined! In this highly visual program Gregg will share the discoveries and techniques that zero in on the facts of why you’re Human by Design and “wired” to be extraordinary! This multi-sensory program is your opportunity to: • Discover the evidence that overturns+ 150 years of mainstream thinking when it comes to our origin, and the role of evolution in our lives. • Witness the discoveries that catapult us beyond the conventional thinking when it comes to our capabilities, and how to implement them in your life! • Discover the facts of ancient and indigenous wisdom that are now supported by 21st century science when it comes to our relationship with our body and the world! • Learn the time-tested and easy-to-use techniques to: o access deep states of intuition o create deep states of emotional and physical healing o reduce / prevent the erosion of our DNA time-lock that leads to disease and aging o discover the mystery and meaning of hidden, yet powerful, states of super consciousness o apply these discoveries in intimate personal relationships, business relationships, to life-changing decisions, and for core healing from the inside out! There are so many discoveries that no longer fit the conventional thinking when it comes to us, and our relationship to the world, that they can no longer be ignored. Now we must embrace the discoveries to write our new human story. The key: The better we know ourselves, the better equipped we are for whatever life brings our way. It’s this simple fact that lies at the core of this new program: Human By Design. | 2019-04-22T02:05:40 | http://icandoit.hayhouse.libsynpro.com/gregg-braden-human-by-design-part-1 |

Wood Storage is so much more appealing and charming than any other material as in plastic or wire racks. Wood has its warmth, its natural color that ages with time, its natural quality of being earth friendly and non-allergenic. Wood is versatile, cupboards can stand the weights of heavy products and stays in kitchens for years.
Simple and plain these cupboard houses a lot of items from floor to ceiling. Come to think about it - having one of these in your kitchen can solve a lot of problems for storage. With heavy items on the base drawers such as bags of rice, flour, sugar etc can ensure that you can easily get to them when supplies in your bottles run low.
As you plan your storage cupboard make sure that daily use items are kept at hip to chin level so you can get to it easily. Popular items like soup cans, pasta, pickles, spices, salt and other regular use items need to be easily accessible. Keeping them where you can easily see and reach out for makes your kitchen work so much more sartisfying.
Planning what goes where - divide your cupboard into square or rectangular sections either short or tall in height. Throw in couple drawers in case you have certain things that cannot stand. Tuck away occasional use items in the topmost shelves and everyday used linen and mits into baskets on the floor for easy pull-out-and-use!
Used to call these Meatsafes. Now they call them Potato Storage bins!!
Some cabinet manufacturers also have few upper shelving sideways and divided in half so you can pull one side out at a time and can view all the items kept there. Popular items to keep that way are cereal boxes, chip bags, bread crumb boxes etc.
When you are planning to create such personal custom storage in your kitchen, I tell you wood is the best product to work with. They come in at a higher price tag but your investment is worth the money spent as it is going to give back many times more as well as they will add beauty to your home. Custom storage will also mean a well designed kitchen and then you can rave that you have a custom designer kitchen since its going to be the hearth of the house. | 2019-04-21T12:28:44 | https://www.seasonalleaf.com/news/7-traditional-storage-in-wood-has-its-beauty |

Kevin Newman doesn’t have to speak very extensively about himself or his award-winning, full-service architecture and interior design studio before one thing becomes apparent: This is a man who revels in his work.
It’s clear he loves the opportunity to create innovative, cost-effective responses to multifamily design challenges, examples being the Texas Wrap high-density solution and the New Block™ urban infill prototype developed by his firm, Newman Garrison + Partners (NG+P) of Costa Mesa, Calif.
He savors the chance to monitor multifamily trends, and respond with architectural design both innovative and timeless. That’s true whether designing for mid- and high-rise multifamily towers, mixed-use urban infill and transit-oriented developments, or workforce and student housing.
As the Great Recession took a stranglehold on development, Newman and Garrison positioned the firm as a boutique shop. “We decided we wanted to go after high-density developments in urban communities, mostly infill, and be a boutique firm that really focused on the essentials of design, and stressed the creation of very unique concepts and communities,” he recalled.
The firm’s response was to create the concept called New Block™, allowing for construction of a four-story residential structure with 100 percent surface parking, on two-acre parcels. A wood-framed deck covers the parking field and serves as foundation for an open 20,000-square-foot, sustainable green park. Put to use at Park Landing, an affordable apartment community in Buena Park, Calif., the concept won numerous awards for sustainable design.
The New Block™ concept is particularly appropriate in market areas characterized by lower rental rates because it is cost-effective to build and develop. What’s more, Newman said, the concept is versatile enough to work for senior, affordable, market-rate and student-housing communities.
It was at that time, around 2011, that Newman Garrison incorporated within the firm an interior design business, Max Michelle Interior Design Studio, allowing clients to not only obtain an architectural plan but interior design as well.
In the urban realm, they’ve found they’re designing for Millennials, who might be termed a very social demographic. “Walkable communities, accessing entertainment and transit are very important to that demographic,” he said. | 2019-04-23T14:25:26 | https://www.multihousingnews.com/post/trending-now/ |

Shockingly hammering further the point that they had deviated drastically from the Haqq (truth), the document contained photos of Eidgahs all over the world, many of which are close-ups of women with no niqab and wearing tight-fitting clothes, intermingled with a few men here and there. Hizbul Ulama has had the official endorsement on their website from Darul Uloom Bury (the most famous and prestigious Madrasah) and Jamiatul Ulama Britiain, for as far back as I can remember. And all the Madrasahs in the UK appears to blindly follow the Saudi announcement without any questioning.
“Maulana, I would like to ask you whether or not you were able to personally see the new moon on Wednesday or you heard directly from someone else who did see it and whose adaalat you can personally vouch for?
The Saudi government consisting of fussaqs, fujjars, zaalims, who are all complicit in horrendous crimes against innocent Muslims have long ago forfeited all claims to adaalat. Thus, even more unreliable is their testimony regarding the adaalat of anonymous people with telescopic eyesights (and kashfi foresights) whom they seem to conjure up unfailingly every single year.
The fact that 40,000 brothers are languishing in Saudi’s torture chambers, many of whom are innocent Ulama guilty of not towing the line to the precise nanometer, is sufficient proof alone that the government are Zaalims of the highest order and that the Saudi scholars who have escaped incarceration thus far are uniquely adept at not ruffling any royal feathers, and thus completely subservient to their handlers.
This command of the Shariah stated by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is so mash-hoor (well-known) to even ignorant Muslims, that presenting evidence in substantiation is superfluous. This immutable law of the Shariah is the only criterion for determining the Islamic months. There is absolutely no other way permitted by the Shariah. All other man-invented methods are mardood (rejected by the Shariah).
The announcement made this year by Wifaaqul Ulama of U.K. is 100% in accord with the Shariah. Every Muslim in the United Kingdom was required by the Shariah to have accepted this announcement and to have fasted on Thursday 8 August 2013, for it was truly the 30th day of Ramadhaan. It was haraam to have celebrated Eid on Thursday 8 August 2013 in subservience to the Saudi pronouncement adopted by Hizbul Ulama of UK. All those who had celebrated Eid on the 30th Ramadhaan (Thursday 8th August), should make one Qadha fast, and in addition make Taubah for having omitted the Fast and having celebrated a mock ‘eid’ on the last day of Ramadhaan.
The brief, cryptic announcement made by Hizbul Ulama was unacceptable. It makes absolutely no mention of any hilaal-sighting in the UK nor of any sighting of any other country which had reached it by Tareeq-e-Moojib – absolutely reliable way of transmission to compel acceptance. The so-called ‘official’ announcement of Hizbul Ulama is devoid of official Shar’i sanction, hence it was supposed to have been rejected in favour of acceptance of the correct, Shar’i announcement made by Wifaaqul Ulama of UK.
The brief, wholly deficient announcement of Hizbul Ulama is a lamentably clear deviation from the more than 14 century Law of the Shariah pertaining to the hilaal and the determination of the Islamic month. In having consciously and intentionally rejected the immutable Law of the Shariah, Hizbul Ulama is playing with the Fire of Jahannum and hovering on the brink of Kufr. Side-stepping, in fact rejecting, any Hukm of the Shariah is not a trifling issue. The consequences and repercussions of such a satanic move are exceptionally grave.
It appears that Hizbul Ulama has made itself subservient to the pronouncements of the brutal Saudi regime which has degenerated from its level of fisq and fujoor to the level of Kufr. Also, Hizbul Ulama appears to have thrown in its lot with the ISNA modernist fussaaq of North America who had announced more than a month before Ramadhaan, the dates of Ramadhaan and Eidul Fitr. Such announcement was a blatant act of Kufr, for it brazenly rejected the immutable command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Ijmaa-ee Law of the Shariah of all Four Math-habs to search for the hilaal.
There was no sighting of the hilaal confirmed by any aadil entity in Saudi Arabia. In fact the need to sight the moon was dispensed by the Kufr regime of Saudi Arabia when it had already announced on the 28th of Ramadhaan that Eidul Fitr would be celebrated on Thursday 8 August which was actually the 30th Day of Ramadhaan even in Saudi Arabia.
The only motivation for the rash and haraam move by Hizbul Ulama appears to be nafsaaniyat. It has absolutely no Shar’i grounds nor any justification for having announced that Eid would be on a day which in reality was the 30th of Ramadhaan. When fear of Allah Ta’ala is lacking, then despicable nafsaani motives overshadow the intelligence, preventing it from understanding the disastrous consequences of trifling with the Deen.
Did Hizbul Ulama base its announcement on a physical sighting of the hilaal?
If yes, what are the details?
Who are the persons/entities who had sighted the moon?
Why did Hizbul Ulama opt for secrecy in this regard?
On what Shar’i basis did Hizbul Ulama announce that Ramadhaan this year had only 29 days?
In desperation to vindicate its baatil announcement, Hizbul Ulama resorted to the blatantly haraam act of displaying on its website haraam pictures of men and women participating in Eid Salaat in some places. One haraam spawns another haraam. Since Hizbul Ulama had no Shar’i basis for its baseless and haraam announcement, it felt itself constrained to adopt methods to present a façade of veracity for the mock ‘eid’ it had imposed on its flock.
The Muslim community in the UK should become alert to the vile trend of departing from the Shariah increasingly being adopted by modernists and deviate ulama of our times. Intelligent people should demand from Hizbul Ulama its Shar’i grounds, which in fact it lacks, for having departed from the 14 century Command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Q. Is it permissible to end ramadhan on the basis of pronouncements of Saudi Arabia?
• Ramadhaan time-tables which are distributed in Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwara this year records Ramadhaan with 29 days.
• In previous years, the cleaners at Musjidun Nabawi in Madinah, before Maghrib informed those who were in I’tikaaf that they had to ‘pack up’ and leave because it was already decided that ‘tomorrow’ would be Eid.
The Saudi government has created a calendar (Umm ul Qura) for establishing the start of every new Islamic month, be it Ramadhan, Hajj or Eid. The basis of this calendar is upon the ‘birth of the new moon’ and not viewing the crescent moon with the naked eye (Ruyat Hilal) as is required by the Shariah and Sunnah. Due to this, the Saudi announcement for the new Islamic month occurs 1 day before the actual sighting of the new crescent moon. This has been witnessed for many years now.
This year (2011), the Umm ul Qura calendar has been published and they have already written that Monday, 29th August 2011 will be the last fast of Ramadhan. Tuesday, 30th August 2011 will be Eid ul Fitr even if there is no sighting of the moon according to the requirements of Shariah (Ruyat Hilal) in the Entire World.
The fast of Ramadhan is considered so great in Islam that if a person purposefully breaks a fast, he has to perform 60 fasts continuously as a retribution for this act. There is no other act of worship in which the retribution is so severe. For example, if one Salah is made Kadha, only that single Salah is to be performed.
Q. Is it permissible for Muslims in the UK to accept Ramadhaan and Eid announcements from Saudi Arabia for the sake of unity?
A. It is not permissible for Muslims of UK nor for Muslims anywhere in the world to follow the hilaal announcements of the current Saudi authorities. The Saudi authorities are extremely unreliable. It is haraam to discard the Shariah for the sake of ‘unity’, even if it would be a true unity. It is quite obvious that the present fussaaq authorities of Saudi Arabia are not adhering to the Shariah. Despite clear skies, the hilaal was not sighted in Saudi Arabia, neither by the hilaal committees nor the masses. Furthermore, even if the moon is sighted in Saudi Arabia, the present rulers are fussaaq and fujjaar. Their announcements should not be accepted.
Q. This year as well as last year there was difference among the Ulama regarding Eid. One group of Ulama follow Saudi announcements. What is the responsibility of the Ulama?
A. The responsibility of the Ulama in the UK is to follow the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and that is to physically sight the moon at the end of the 29th day, and if there is no sighting, then the month will be 30 days. It is highly irresponsible to terminate Ramadhaan and commence Eid on the basis of the extremely dubious rulings of Saudi Arabia. The simple and clear-cut method for avoiding these perennial moon controversies is to ignore the announcements of other countries and to go by local sightings. Those who had ended Ramadhaan on the basis of the Saudi announcement should keep one day Qadha fast. Once the Ulama decide to adhere to only local sightings, all controversies will cease. There is no need to encumber the community with the announcements of other countries. As long as the simple Sunnah method is not implemented, you will be plagued with these moon controversies.
Q. What is the solution for the moon controversy? Almost every year the same problem develops.
A. The only way to terminate the moon controversy is to revert to the simple Sunnah method commanded by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). That method is: Search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day. If it is not visible, then the month will be 30 days. Confound all the other arrangements and methods which are made to force the issue of Eid. All methods should be discarded, and only the simple Sunnah adopted. This is the simple and pure method devoid of problems and it will not give rise to conflict if all parties submit to this Sunnah. But, the problem is that in these days people are not contented with the simple practices of the Sunnah. They seek to supersede the Shariah. Some who lack confidence in the simple Sunnah method feel more comfortable relying on the ‘sunnah’ of Saudi Arabia. Others again who equally have no fervour for the Sunnah, desire the ‘sunnah’ of the astronomers. The logical conclusion is the perennial conflict.
Q. If we in England do not accept hilaal announcement from other countries, every Islamic month will be 30 days due to overcast skies.
A. It matters not if in England every month is a 30 day month if the moon is not sighted. It will be a 30 day month in terms of the Shariah, according to the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Q. (1) Should the people of UK continue the blindfollowing of Saudi for unity’s sake, as this is the excuse many people, even Ulama are using till today, despite the fact that according to many estimates, majority of the Muslims in UK are NOT following Saudi Arabia? (2) Many people are aware that they are doing wrong, yet cite ‘unity’ as an excuse to celebrate Eid on the 30th of Ramadhan, can this ever be correct? (3) What is the responsibility of the UK Ulama/committee members and Trustees on this issue to end the Fiasco? (4) Those who claimed to follow Chile, and announced well before the sunset of Chile, what is the condition of their fast? (5) In the event of no testimonies coming in accordance with the principles of our Holy Shariah, can such important dates like Ramadhan and Eidain be declared based on a claim advertised on moonsighting.com? (6) News from Saudi Arabia reaches the UK well before Asar time, and is relayed by the Media straightaway, this results in the abandonment of the Sunnah to sight the Hilal locally and ending of the Holy month of Ramadhan at ‘Asar time’ as people start preparing for Eid straightaway. This deprives people of benefitting from those last valuable minutes of the great month, what is Hadhrat’s opinion on this.
(1) It is not permissible for Muslims of UK nor for Muslims anywhere in the world to follow the hilaal announcements of the current Saudi authorities. Our attached pamphlet explains the reasons for this. It is haraam to discard the Shariah for the sake of ‘unity’, even if it would be a true unity. It is quite obvious that the present fussaaq authorities of Saudi Arabia are not adhering to the Shariah. Despite clear skies, the hilaal was not sighted in Saudi Arabia, neither by the hilaal committees nor the masses. Furthermore, even if the moon is sighted in Saudi Arabia, the present rulers are fussaaq and fujjaar. Their announcements should not be accepted.
(2) Those who violate the Shariah on the pretext of their imagined ‘unity’, are close to kufr because they are intentionally abandoning the Shariah for the sake of a hallucinated ‘unity’.
(3) The responsibility of the Ulama in the UK is to follow the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and that is to physically sight the moon at the end of the 29th day, and if there is no sighting, then the month will be 30 days. It is highly irresponsible to terminate Ramadhaan and commence Eid on the basis of the extremely dubious rulings of Saudi Arabia. The simple and clear-cut method for avoiding these perennial moon controversies is to ignore the announcements of other countries and to go by local sightings.
(4) Those who now claim to follow Chile are in a worse condition than those who followed the baseless announcement of Saudi Arabia. Ulama whom we have spoken to in North America informed us that after making investigations with people in Chile by telephone, it was established that there was no sighting in Chile. Furthermore, those in UK who had suddenly decided to follow the misinformation from Chile, had no prior arrangement whereby a structure for accepting Shahaadat had been established. Chile had simply mushroomed in the aftermath of the Saudi debacle. The Chile misinformation should be dismissed with contempt.
(5) Since there were no testimonies based on Shar’i principles, it was not permissible for UK Muslims to have terminated Ramadhaan on the basis of Saudi announcements and the rumours from Chile. Information which in terms of the Shariah is reliable was not received from Chile, hence U.K. Muslims who had terminated Ramadhan on the basis of the Chile rumour are guilty of the heinous sin of not fasting on the last day of Ramadhaan. At the same time, they are gulty of the heinous sin of celebrating Eidul Fitr on the last day of Ramadhaan.They should make Taubah and keep qadha of one day.
(6) It is Waajib to search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day of every Islamic month. This has greater importance and significance for the month of Ramadhaan. To start making preparations for Eidul Fitr on the basis of the Saudi announcement which reaches U.K.Muslims at the time of Asr, which results in the abandonment of the Sunnah of searching for the hilaal is another unacceptable evil. Any practice which leads to the abandonment of the Sunnah is mardood. Regarding the importance of searching for the hilaal, see attachment. Once the Ulama have decided to adhere to only local sightings, all controversies will cease. There is no need to encumber the community with the announcements of other countries. As long as the simple Sunnah method is not implemented, you will be plagued with these moon controversies.
Q. Why is there always such confusion over the moon-sighting issue?
A. More than 14 centuries after the advent of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), and after presenting the Ummah with a simple, clear system of establishing the beginnings and endings of the Islamic months, confusion reigns supreme in almost all countries on the issue of the Ramadhaan and Eid moons. It is surprising and lamentable that this simple issue has been made almost intractable by even Ulama. The current controversy on the hilaal issue in the United Kingdom is just one example of this ever-recurring problem.
“An A’raabi (a simple rustic/ village-dweller) came to the Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and said: “Verily, I saw the hilaal.’ He (Rasulullah –sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Do you testify that there is no deity but Allah?’ The A’raabi said: ‘Yes!’ Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Do you testify that Muhammad is the Rasool of Allah?’ The A’raabi said: ‘Yes!’ Rasulullah – sallallahu alayhi wasallam- (turning to Hadhrat Bilaal) said: “O Bilaal! Announce to the people that they should fast tomorrow.” (Abu Dawood, Tirmizi, etc.) Tirmizi added: “The amal (practice) according to the majority of the Ulama is on this Hadith. They say: The testimony of a single man will be accepted for Fasting (i.e. for the commencement of Ramadhaan). In fact, if the horizon is overcast, the testimony of even one woman will be accepted for the Ramadhaan hilaal.
Reflect on this simplicity! Two simple questions and just two simple words in response, and Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) proclaimed the beginning of Ramadhaan. The many questions which different groups have invented for establishing the hilaal sighting are uncalled for and in conflict with the Sunnah. The size of the hilaal, its angle, its position, etc., are all wasteful, divisive and unwarranted. Others again have introduced astronomical calculations, and base their conclusions on possibility or impossibility of sighting as dictated by these calculations. Valid Shar’i Shahaadat (testimony) is negated on the basis of astronomical data. Edicts of the Shariah may not be superseded by mundane methods and systems. If the sighting of the hilaal is confirmed by way of valid Shar’i testimony, it will be haraam to negate it with astronomical data.
Even if astronomy says that it is impossible to sight the moon, the sighting confirmed by Shar’i Shahaadat will override astronomy. Furthermore, some consider it necessary to make elaborate arrangements with other countries on the basis of the spurious concept of ‘unity’. Therefore some groups insist on having Ramadhaan and Eid with Saudi Arabia. Others again very justifiably reject Saudi sightings as unreliable. If every city/town adheres to the simple system of the Sunnah, there will be no dispute and no controversy. The baseless ideas of ‘unity’ should not be presented to mar the harmony in the community thereby creating greater disunity.
Q. Why is it not permissible to accept news of moon-sightings from Saudi Arabia?
A. The reason why news from Saudi Arabia is not acceptable, is because the Shariah has been made subservient to the rulers in that country. The authorities determine the months with astronomical calculations. They do not adhere strictly to Shar’i methods. The Shariah has become a pawn for the Saudi rulers who are increasingly walking the path of kufr. They have no regard and no respect for the Deen. The word of such fussaaq stands condemned in the Shariah.
Q. Why do the Ulama of South Africa refuse to unite with Saudi Arabia on the issue of Ramadhaan and Eid? What prevents us here in South Africa from uniting with Saudi Arabia? Having Eid on the same day all over the world is a beautiful spectre of Muslim unity? According to the Hanafi Math-hab, differences in horizons (Ikhtilaaf-e-Mataali') is not valid, hence there should be nothing to debar unity with Saudi Arabia.
A. It will also be a “beautiful spectre of Muslim unity” if the whole Ummah of the world could have the same times for Salaat. Unity on the basis of baatil is Satanism which culminates in greater disunity and whose consequence is Allah’s punishment. A valid and lawful unity is one based on the Shariah, not a superficial facade of unity forged in conflict with the Shariah. Further, why do you highlight Saudi Arabia? Why not Pakistan or Egypt or Indonesia or any of the myriad of Kufristans deceptively dubbed Muslim states?
Ikhtilaaf-e-Mataali’ is valid with regard to far away places and cannot be discounted in entirety. Although this factor does not prevent acceptance of hilaal information from Saudi Arabia and our neighbouring countries, there are other valid reasons for our rejection of hilaal news emanating from Saudi Arabia in particular.
If ARABIA had been a truly Islamic State under the governance of a pious Khalifah, then all the Muslims of the world would have proudly and happily submitted to every decree emanating from the Khalifah. Obedience to the Khalifah would have been deemed Waajib. A pious Khalifah is Allah’s Shadow on earth. No Muslim may oppose or disobey him. However, as far as the FAASIQ-FAAJIR, British-installed, American lackey Saudi regime is concerned, it is the shadow of Iblees on earth. Islamically and morally the Saudi regime is absolutely corrupt. Muslims all over the world have no respect for the announcements and decrees made by a faasiq-faajir regime whose policies and efforts are currently designed to eradicate Islam.
The palace scholars being the serfs of the Saudi fussaaq, fujjaar rulers, dance to the tune of their masters. It is their primary obligation to fabricate corrupt ‘fatwas’ to comply with the whimsical fancies and evil commands of the Saudi rulers. These palace ulama belong to the fraternity known as Ulama-e-Soo’ (Evil Ulama). They too are Islamically person’a non grata. This is the reason why the announcements of the Saudi regime are unacceptable.
Q. Is it permissible to use astronomical calculations to determine the beginning of the Islamic months? These calculations will eliminate all the confusion and disputes which generally occur on the occasions of Ramadhaan and Eid.
A. Astronomical calculations may not be utilized to negate an immutable principle of the Shariah. We are under obligation to abide by the commands of Allah Ta’ala. If there is a clash between a Shar’i command and a mundane issue, the Shariah has precedence. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had commanded the commencement of the Islamic month with the sighting of the hilaal (crescent moon), and such sighting has to be established by the reports of reliable, uprighteous Muslims. When these Shar’i requisites have been complied with, then all other conflicting evidence will be set aside. It should be well understood that Deen is obedience to the commands of Allah Ta’ala. Deen is not the product of rationalism or the effects of our logic and understanding. We may not submit Mansoos Ahkaam to our reasoning and abrogate such laws when we believe that the product of Wahi is in conflict with reason.
Q. (1) Would the Qurbani’s done here in the UK according to the Saudi date be valid? (2) Is this stance of following Saudi, despite the open and clear mistake correct? (3) Is the silence of the influential Ulama on this matter acceptable? Many Masjid committees here in the UK normally are decision makers on this issue. In matters of Dunya, they seem very intelligent and up to date, not accepting a penny’s loss. Here due to this following of the Riyadh authorities, many a times the month of Ramadhan is being commenced on the 30th of Sha’baan, the Fardh fast of Ramadhan is being missed as Eid ul Fitr is being celebrated on the 30th of Ramadhan, and Qurbani’s are being performed on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. (4) Are the Masjid committees absolved of their duties by saying ‘we follow the Ulama’? (5) Despite knowing the truth, is it permissible for the sake of unity (this is the argument that the many people give) to follow Saudi/ Riyadh announcements and fast on the 30th of Shabaan, or celebrate Eid on the 30th of Ramadhan? (6) Some Ulama claim that the majority Deobandi’s follow the Saudi Hilal announcement, hence acting upon the Hadith ‘follow the Al Siwaad Al Aazam’ everyone should follow suit, is this claim correct, even though it means we are compromising on Fardh Ibaadaat? (7) An Ulama body here went to the extent of announcing that as the majority of the countries in the World were celebrating their Eid Ul Adha according to the Saudi date (although this information is also wrong), the people of UK should follow suit and follow the Al Siwad Al Aazam, is this argument justified? (8) Some Ulama attach the Haramain Shareefain to this issue emotionally blackmailing people that the Imams of the Haramain Shareefain cannot be wrong, and all this opposition to the Saudi Sighting is a Yahood Conspiracy.
It is imperative for the Ulama at your end to resist the attempts to hoist Saudi hegemony on the Muslim community. It is better and safer for Muslims to rather have Eid on different days. They should not buckle under pressure to become the serfs of Saudi Arabia. It is incumbent to follow the directives of the Shariah, not the nafsaani desires of the Saudis who have their own political agenda to which they submit the Shariah.
Unity with baatil is never the teaching of Islam. The call to commence Ramadhaan on a day which is not Ramadhaan, and to celebrate Eid when it is not Eid according to the Shariah for the sake of ‘unity’ is baatil and haraam. Unity with falsehood is haraam. Unity on the basis of the Haqq is the only unity we understand and accept. Our advice is that if Ramadhaan and Eid are not established on the basis of Shar’i dalaa-il, never should you follow the Saudi pronouncements. The Muslims in the U.K. are not in the wilaayat of Saudi Arabia. There is absolutely no Shar’i imperative to compel the Muslims of your country to submit to Saudi dictates and hegemony, more so, when such dictates are flagrantly in violation of the Shariah.
(1) Since Eid in the U.K. was wrongfully and intentionally celebrated on 9th Zil Hajj, the Qur’baani on that day was not valid.
(2) Despite the conspicuous error of the Saudi pronouncement, it was a grievous error of the U.K. Muslims to submit to this gross error and celebrate Eid on the fallacious basis of ‘unity’.
(4) Intentionally beginning Ramadhaan and keeping Eid on the wrong days are haraam and grave sins. The contention that Qadha will be kept after Ramadhaan is despicable and haraam. Such qadha will never compensate for the fast which was knowingly and deliberately abandoned in order to celebrate ‘eid’ on 30 Ramadhaan. In fact, this calculated act of deviating from the Shariah is close to kufr. The element of Istikhfaaf with a Shar’i hukm is kufr. It is tantamount to saying: ‘I shall commit fornication and repent afterwards.’ Or, ‘I shall perform two raka’ts Fardh for Isha’, and make qadha afterwards’.The Musjid committees subscribing to this haraam concept of sinning are clearly in open conflict with the Shariah.
(5) The Musjid committees are not absolved of their Shar’i duties when they are aware that the Ulama are in error. It is haraam to follow the erroneous views and fatwas of the Ulama. Castigating the Ummah of Bani Israaeel for the very same crime of blindly following even the errors of their scholars, the Qur’aan Majeed states: “They take their Ulama and their Mashaaikh as gods besides Allah…” It is haraam to follow anyone in baatil. It is haraam to follow the Ulama when it is known that the Ulama are in error.
(6) It is not permissible to follow the erroneous pronouncement of the Saudi regime for the sake of ‘unity’. The same argument should be thrown into the face of the Saudi lackeys. It should be said to them: For the sake of unity abandon the Saudi pronouncements and follow the announcement of the Ulama who adhere to the original tenets of the Shariah. While the dissenters are prepared to create disunity with their subservience to the Saudis, they take umbrage when the disunity is the consequence of Ulama who refuse to accept the Saudi directives. Those who are so keen for unity, should not embark on something which will bring disunity in its wake, and that something is to follow the Saudi errors or political stunts.
(7) The ‘majority’ is not a principle of law in the Shariah. If the majority of present day Deobandi Ulama follow the Saudi pronouncements, it still remains haraam when we are convinced that the month of Ramadhaan has not commenced or ended. Nowadays the majority is plodding the path of baatil. The majority of the Ummah in this era indulges in riba, haraam and baatil. It never becomes permissible to follow this errant majority. Haqq may not be compromised to strike up an accord with baatil for the sake of a unity which in itself is baatil.
(8) The argument that the Muslims in U.K. should follow other Muslim countries even though the sighting of the hilaal has not been established on the basis of the Shariah, is utterly baseless. The criterion is the Shariah, not the majority of Muslim countries, especially in our day when the governments of all Muslim countries are irreligious and even anti-Islam. There is no Shar’i validity in this fallacious argument.
Q. This year there was a sharp conflict between two groups of Ulama in the U.K. regarding the moon issue. Both groups have written to The Majlis. Which group was right?
A. We are in disagreement with both groups of the UK Ulama. While the one group correctly refuses to consider astronomical calculations for determining the beginning of the month, they nevertheless err in accepting the unreliable announcement of Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, the other group while not accepting the Saudi announcement, does introduce the astronomical dimension. Both groups are therefore in error.
Q. Please comment on the difference between Hizbul Ulama and Wifaqul Ulama with regards to the moon-sighting issue.
A. Currently there prevails a controversy in the United Kingdom regarding the moon issue of last Ramadhaan. The controversy is between two Ulama groups, viz. Hizbul Ulama and Wifaaqul Ulama. Both Ulama organizations have written to the Mujlisul Ulama of S.A. presenting their respective sides of the episode. According to Hizbul Ulama, the hilaal (the crescent moon) for Ramadhaan was sighted by at least three persons at the end of the 29t h day of Sha’baan, hence they declared the following day to be the 1st of Ramadhaan. According to Wifaaqul Ulama, there was no reliable sighting of the hilaal as reported by Hizbul Ulama, hence they (Wifaaqul Ulama) rejected the announcement, and Sha’baan was kept 30 days. Wifaaqul Ulama found the witnesses to be unreliable. We have responded to both Ulama Organizations on the basis of the facts they have furnished in their respective letters. We did not and do not enter the fray in the capacity of a Hakam (Arbitrator). Our responses should, therefore not be construed as adjudication in the dispute of two parties. We have merely apprized the groups of the Shariah’s stance as we understand and believe it to be without deciding and resolving the dispute.
(1) The Shar ‘i Imkaan (Possibility) of sighting the hilaal is at the end of the 29th day of the Islamic month. This Possibility is established by Sareeh Nass of the Hadith. It is such a well-established Shar’i injunction which does not need elaboration. Only those ignorant of the Shariah will refute this injunction. What the observatories and astronomers say in conflict with this Shar’i principle is mardood (rejected and baseless). The Mansoos Ahkaam of the Shariah will remain inviolable until the Day of Qiyaamah, and the fate which had overtaken the Shariah of Nabi Musa (alayhis salaam) and Nabi Isaa (alayhis salaam) at the hands of their followers, the Yahood and Nasaara, will, Insha’Allah, not overtake the Final Shariah of Islam. Allah Ta’ala will in every age put in the arena Ulama- e-Haqq to defend the Deen against the predations of the Ahl-e-Baatil.
(2) There is no ‘exhaustive list’ of questions for the Shaahid (Witness) to answer in terms of the Shariah. The only requirement is that he must be aadil (just/pious), and if it happens to be the hilaal for Eid, and the horizon is clear and cloudless, then the sighting must be reported by jamm-e-ghafeer (a sufficiently large number of people). All other questions are nonsensical and devoid of Shar’i substance and basis. (3) According to the Shariah, the many questions pertaining to the position, shape, etc. of the hilaal are abath and laghw (futile and nonsensical). They have no Shar’i significance. Furthermore, if these questions are used to abrogate the Mansoos Alayh principle of Rooyat, then they (the nonsensical questions) will be haraam.
We had commented on the issue on the basis of the information provided by Hizbul Ulama.. Your explanation presents a different angle to the dispute. Our ruling was based on the adaalat of the witnesses. However, it appears that Wifaqul Ulama refutes the adaalat of the witnesses. We are not in position to adjudicate in the dispute. Our rulings should therefore not be construed as the effect of Tahkeem (Arbitration). We answer on the basis of the information furnished. Whose information is correct, incorrect, true or false is known to Allah Azza Wa Jal. In this response we shall content ourselves with only stating the view and the stance we have adopted on the issue of commencing and ending the Islamic months.
(1) We follow only the principle of Rooyat – the physical sighting.
(2) In the absence of local physical sighting, if news of a sighting of another place in South Africa reaches us by reliable and authentic transmission in which there is no doubt, we accept and Ramadhaan/Eid will be confirmed by us.
(3) To date we do not accept news of sightings from any country. News of Sightings from only within South Africa is accepted. This stance is not because of any belief that the sightings of other countries are not permissible. According to the Ahnaaf the sighting of the East is valid for the West and vice versa. The reason for us not accepting information from outside the country is the lack of a proper arrangement with reliable Shar’i sources. We lack confidence in outside information, hence we limit information of sightings to within the boundaries of South Africa.
(4) We never accept Saudi reports on the hilaal issue. We believe that Saudi Arabia is most unreliable in this regard. Although there have been attempts in South Africa to establish Saudi hegemony here via the moon issue, we are resisting such attempts. There have also been attempts to establish Saudi hegemony by forming a Hilaal Committee of Southern African States. But we have resisted this move too and we are not prepared to compromise our rigid stand for the sake of overtures which are tainted with political and nafsaani agendas. Due to Saudi funding for certain Islamic institutions in Southern African countries, the plan for a united Hilaal Committee here appears unholy to us.
(5) We reject in entirety the slightest intrusion into the hilaal domain by astronomy. We come within the scope of the Hadith in which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “We are an Ummi nation. We neither count nor calculate…..” We are ‘illiterates’ of this calibre, hence we do not have the slightest inclination towards astronomical calculation and even astronomical guidelines regarding feasibility and possibility or impossibility of sighting the hilaal.
(6) Our only criterion for Imkaan-e-Rooyat is the ending of the 29th day of the Islamic month. Possibility of sighting the hilaal at the expiry of the 29th day of the Islamic month is a Shar’i possibility even if in terms of astronomy it may be impossible. The Nass in this regard overrides astronomy.
(7) If the hilaal is not sighted after 29 days have passed, the month will obviously be 30 days in terms of the Shariah.
(8) Confirmation of the sighting must be on the basis of the reporting by aadil witnesses. The number will vary from one such witness, male or female, for confirmation of the Ramadhaan hilaal, if the horizon is overcast, to Jamm-e-Ghafeer if the sky is clear. Regarding the number of witnesses, the various factors such as clear or overcast sky, the moon for Ramadhaan and the moon for Eid, are taken into consideration.
(9) If all Shar’i factors are fulfilled and the witnesses are aadil, we shall confirm the sighting regardless of the view of the astronomers. Even if a sighting is ‘impossible’ in terms of astronomical calculations, but if criteria of the Shariah – the Mansoos Ahkaam – have been satisfied, we accept the sighting and confirm the commencement of the Islamic month. The Shariah overrides all other considerations. Never, is it permissible to cite astronomical calculations for overriding the Shariah or for casting doubt.
(10) We do not take into account the size, position, shape, etc. of the hilaal for accepting news of a sighting. The only criterion for accepting a sighting is the adaalat of the witnesses. Rasulullah’s personal practice in this regard is sufficient and categorical direction for the procedure of accepting reports of sightings. We are averse to the astronomical paraphernalia which appear in questionnaires to which Aadil witnesses are subjected to. It is quite possible for a person to sight the hilaal without applying his mind to the various aspects of the moon such as shape, position, etc. A person who has genuinely sighted the hilaal may forget within minutes the actual physical attributes which had accompanied the hilaal.
Furthermore, the Ahaadith testify that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah had not ventured into such details pertaining to the hilaal. The procedure adopted by Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) was extremely simple. The sole criterion was the adaalat of the Shaahid. If there is valid doubt in the adaalat of the witnesses, the correctness of his answering the variety of questions will be in vain. Even if he answers all the questions correctly, his testimony will be rejected if he is not aadil. On the other hand, if his adaalat is confirmed in Shar’i terms, then his report of sighting will be accepted regardless of his inability to answer the questionnaire. This is our stance.
(11) We shall reject the report if the person appears on the scene a few days after the reported sighting such as in your case where the ‘sighters’ testified 8 days after their alleged sighting.
(12) If Hizbul Ulama had declared Ramadhaan on the basis of Saudi Arabia’s announcement, then we are of the opinion that this was incorrect as the Saudis are unreliable in this regard. The Brother who had asked his question on behalf of Hizbul Ulama did not mention that the three persons had testified only 8 days after their sighting. We had under- stood from the question that the three ‘aadil’ witnesses had testified the very same night soon after having sighted the hilaal, that is during Maghrib time of the very first night. In our opinion the report made 8 days after the event should have been dismissed without the need to listen to their testimony and without bothering to establish the integrity of the witnesses.
(13) Our advice is that witnesses should not come forward to ‘prove the correctness of Saudi announcements’ as you have mentioned. Saudi Arabia should be expunged from the hilaal equation. The Zaalim government of Saudi Arabia has a direct hand in hilaal announcements, and for them political or other expediencies are adequate for tampering with the masaa-il of the Shariah.
(14) We note that Wifaaqul Ulama does use astronomical calculations as a guideline, not for confirming the commencement of the month. As long as the actual confirmation of the hilaal is based on actual Rooyat, you are entitled to your methodology and guide lines. The absolute principle of Rooyat should never be compromised. We need to clarify the meaning of not compromising this Mansoos Alayh principle. If aadil witnesses testify to their personal sighting and all Shar’i conditions regarding numbers of sighters for different occasions are fulfilled, then it will be Waajib to accept their testimony even if astronomy says that the sighting is impossible and even if the sighters are unable to answer the astronomical paraphernalia related to the hilaal.
(15) From the explanation furnished by Batley Moon Sighting Committee, it appears that the basis for having rejected the CMC’s announcement was the ‘integrity’ factor. According to BMSC the witnesses were not aadil. Their adaalat was rejected. We are not in position to adjudicate between CMC and BMSC on this issue. We can only say that if they were confident that the witnesses were not aadil, then they were within their right for having rejected the testimony especially in view of it coming 8 days later.
(16) We are in disagreement with BMSC regarding their criteria for establishing adaalat. The duration of visibility of the hilaal, visibility conditions, position/shape of the hilaal, location of the hilaal, moonset, ‘logical’ impossibility of sighting, astronomical impossibility of sighting, etc. are irrelevant for establishing adaalat of the witnesses. These factors have no basis in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. At most they are products of opinion and could act as guidelines. Never could these factors be utilized to negate adaalat. The uprighteousness of a person is not reliant on these factors. The adaalat of a Buzrug of known and confirmed Taqwa may not be negated on the basis of these factors which are all extraneous to the Shar’i concept of adaalat. Factors such as donning un-Islamic dress, strutting around with a bare-head, deficiency in performing Salaat with Jamaa’t, indulgence in futility, sport, and many other factors related to the moral domain are relevant for establishing or negating adaalat.
(17) Paragraph No.7 of BMSC’s explanation reads as follows: “Hazrat Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahib states: ‘for when according to calculation it is impossible to sight the moon then according to the majority of the Ulama of today when logically it’s impossible to sight the moon such a testimony will be ‘muttahum’ discredited and due to being discredited the testimony will be void, and you must not decide on such a testimony.” We respectfully differ with this view which is devoid of Shar’i substance. It is a view based on opinion and unsubstantiated by Shar’i facts. Logic and astronomy may not be used to refute, negate or discredit the testimony of an aadil man on the issue of Rooyat-e-Hilaal. Since this is a Mansoos rule, there is no scope for its abrogation nor for rejection on the basis of opinion, logic and astronomy. This is especially so when the simplicity of the procedure to confirm a sighting by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is borne in mind. The opinion expressed by Hadhrat Mufti Taqi Sahib is incorrect since it lacks Shar’i daleel.
(18) We also disagree with the fatwa of Jamiatur Rashid for the same reasons stated above in No.17.
We respectfully differ with the most senior Mufti of UK. The honourable Mufti Sahib did not apply his mind to the issue – the mas’alah pertaining to the commencement of the Islamic month. The fundamental principle of the Rooyat being established in terms of the Shariah by the testimony of aadil witnesses had escaped his mind. Moonset and moonrise timetables are irrelevant in this regard. These timetables cannot override the Nass of the Shariah which unequivocally confirms the Rooyat of aadil witnesses.
The analogy of Salaat timetables is baseless in the context of hilaal confirmation. The Mansoos Alayh principle for establishing the hilaal is actual Rooyat. The confirmation of the natural phenomena for establishing the times of Namaaz is not reliant on Rooyat. To commence Maghrib Salaat, physical sighting of sunset is not conditional, nor is physical sighting of the length of the shadow necessary for Zuhr and Asr Salaat. Even the information of a non-Muslim regarding sunset, the direction of East, West, etc, is valid and may be utilized for initiating acts of ibaadat. Maghrib Salaat time commences immediately after sunset.
If sunset is confirmed by any means whatsoever, Maghrib Salaat will be valid. It is not necessary to confirm sunset only by means of Rooyat. There is no such principle in the Shariah. The Shariah simply states that Maghrib is after sunset. As far as the commencement of the Islamic month is concerned, the Shariah categor ical ly ordains Rooyat of the Hilaal. There is no other phenomenon commanded by the Shariah for commencing the Islamic month. Birth of the moon, moonrise, moonset or presence of the moon in its orbit or any other phenomenon have not been fixed by the Shariah for beginning the Islamic months. The only valid act for this purpose is Rooyat of the Hilaal. Thus the analogy presented by the venerable Mufti Sahib is not valid.
Q. According to some Muftis it is permissible to use the determinations of astronomy to negate false sightings. It is maintained that in this age of fitnah and mischief and questionable testimonies of sighting, it is permissible to use astronomy to refute testimonies of moon sightings. Is this view correct?
A. There is no scope for re-interpretation of the Ahkaam in Islam. The Yahood and Nasaara had mangled beyond recognition the Shariats of Nabi Musa (alayhis salaam) and Nabi Isa (alayhis salaam) with their processes of re-interpretation, distortion and personal opinion. Thus, there does not remain a semblance of the original Shariats of the Ambiya (alayhimus salaam). In this regard Islam is unique. The Deen has been finalized at the termination of Nubuwwat. The ahkaam are immutable and will remain in their pure form until the Day of Qiyaamah.
The view of negating Shar’i evidence/testimony on the basis of the determinations of astronomy is incorrect and abhorrent in the extreme because it in effect abrogates a Mansoos Alayh usool (principle) of the Shariah. The principle is that the testimony of Aadil (just and uprighteous) witnesses is Shar’i daleel. Such shahaadat is binding. It is haraam to set aside a Shar’i daleel – a Mansoos Hukm – on the basis of astronomical determinations. How can it ever be Islamically possible and permissible to cancel a Shar’i principle on the basis of a man-made determination?
Whilst the same Muftis maintain that astronomical determinations are not valid for commencing the Islamic month, they illogically aver that such determinations are valid for negating Shar’i Shahaadat. Both principles are Shar’i, and of equal weight and importance. The argument that this is an age of fitnah and mischief, hence false testimony is made, is baseless. In terms of the Shariah a sighting is not false. The testimony can be false. The Shar’i command is to reject testimony which does not conform to the requisites of the Shariah. Eid, Ramadhaan and the Islamic months in general are never determined on the basis of such testimony which does not conform to Shar’i standards. The Shariah stipulates the requisite of adaalat for those who testify.
Aadil persons are generally known in a community. A total stranger who testifies will be majhoolul halaal. His testimony shall not be accepted. However, when Aadil persons testify that they have sighted the hilaal, then confound what the astronomers say. Irrespective of the determinations of astronomy, it is haraam to reject the shahaadat of Aadil persons. Astronomy cannever override the Shariah. On the contrary, the Shariah overrides and rejects man-made determinations when these are in conflict with the Law of Allah Azza Wa Jal.
Let us momentarily assume that the Aadil persons who are testifying had made a genuine error in sighting. There was no hilaal, but according to their sightings, the hilaal was seen. Now it matters not whether the hilaal had been sighted or not. Of vital importance is that Aadil persons had testified to having seen the hilaal. On the basis of their shahaadat Ramadhaan and Eid shall be declared.
The issue is not the hilaal. The issue is the Hukm of the Shariah. The Shariah commands that Ramadhaan will commence on the basis of the testimony of even one Aadil person, male or female, if the sky is overcast, for example. It matters not what the astronomers say. The fitnah of dishonest people have no role in the determination of the Islamic months, because everyone knows them to be ghair-aadil (not uprighteous).
The Shariah prohibits acceptance of the shahaadat of fussaaq. Thus, the argument of ‘mischief’ due to the testimony of fussaaq is a figment of the imagination. The requisite of aadalat precludes false testimony. The Shariah nips in the bud such mischief by simply not entertaining the testimony of fussaaq. Valid Shahaadat is only by pious and aadil persons.
Q. The hilaal was not sighted anywhere in South Africa for Rabiuth Thaani, due it being overcast. However, the age of the moon was about 34 hours. In neighbouring countries the moon was sighted and today is the 2nd Rabiuth Thaani in Zimbabwe, etc. whereas it is the 1st for us in South Africa. At the end of the 30th day, the 34 hour hilaal was quite big. Does this not indicate that today is the 2nd of the new month. Should we not accept the news from neighbouring countries to have uniformity in our Islamic calendar?
A. The Shariah’s principle for determining the new month is the actual/physical sighting of the hilaal. The principle is not the birth of the moon or the number of hours lapsing since its birth or of the size of the hilaal. This principle is inviolable and was established by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) himself, and on which there exists Ijma’ (Consensus) of the Ummah – of all Four Math-habs. This has been the Shariah’s way since the time of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).
Due to the large size of the hilaal, there will be no need to search for it as is the case at the end of the 29th night. People will then comment, as they do nowadays when they see a large hilaal, that it is the 2nd. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah rejected such conclusions, and affirmed that it is the first moon. Thus, if at the end of the 30th day the moon appears large and bright, it will be in conflict with the Shariah to create a controversy based on the large size of the hilaal.
The issue of unity or uniformity is drivel. Just as Muslims perform Salaat at different times all over the world, without this constituting an interference in unity and uniformity, so too is it with the sighting of the hilaal. If it is the 1st in Zimbabwe, there is no Shar’i adversity or problem if it is still the 30th here in South Africa. The problems develop when people attempt to supersede the Shariah by endeavouring to transform a non-Shar’i issue into a Shar’i issue. The Deen is simple. Rasulullah’s command was: “If you see the hilaal (at the end of the 29th) then begin the fast. If the hilaal is not visible due to it being overcast, then complete the month 30 days.” The problem is that people are not satisfied with this simple Ruling of the Shariah. They seek to override Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) with their whimsical ideas such as ‘unity’ which has no relationship with sighting the hilaal and commencing the new month.
(1) There is no absolutely reliable connection in Shar’i terms between us and those in neighbouring countries or countries further abroad. Most of the Muslim organizations elsewhere, especially in our neighbouring countries are Salafi dominated. They rely on Saudi funding, and the Saudi regime utilizes its funding to assert its hegemony globally over Muslims.
(2) Half or perhaps more than 50% of the Muslim community consists of followers of the Shaafi’ Math-hab. Far-off sightings are not valid according to the Shaafi’ Math-hab. It is unreasonable and not permissible to capitalize on the ignorance of the local Shaafi’ sheikhs by imposing on the Shaafi’ community the Hanafi Fatwa which is not valid in terms of their Math-hab. The acquiescence of outfits such as the MJC is of no significance. The MJC is not a valid spokesman or voice of the Shaafi’ Math-hab. In fact, due to the acute dearth of Knowledge in the ranks of the MJC sheikhs, the Hanafi Ulama are better poised to advise the Shaafi’ community in terms of their Math-hab. In this age of anti-Taqleedi’ism, it is imperative that all Muqallideen adhere with tenacity to their respective Math-habs.
Another very important consideration is that the desired superficial ‘unity’ which is sought by forging unification of Ramadhaan and Eid with neighbouring countries, will never be achieved. On the contrary, it will culminate in greater disunity in South Africa for the simple reason that there is no single group of Ulama who can claim to represent the entire Muslim community of South Africa.
Different segments of the Muslim community have their own allegiances. Thus, the Mujlisul Ulama of South Africa, Jamiatul Ulama Gauteng, The Original Jamiatul Ulama Transvaal (Waterval Islamic Institute), Jamiatul Ulama Eastern Cape, Jamiatul Ulama Western Cape and many other organizations will not accept any decision by any Ulama outfit who enters into any hilaal agreement with neighbouring countries.
In view of this scenario, what does intelligence dictate? Eid on two different days in South Africa, with one segment of the community celebrating with Zimbabwe, etc., and another segment on a different day. Thus, whilst there will be a farcical ‘unity’ of a segment of the South African community with Zimbabwe for example, there will be real disunity and friction in the Muslim community of South Africa. Hence, the coveted ‘unity’ is a pipedream.
In addition, the Shariah does not demand this type of phantom unity. It is not part of the Ta’leem of the Shariah to forge Eid with other countries. Eid in all Muslim countries on the same day would be a valid demand if the Islamic World was governed by an Ameerul Mu’mineen whose decree would be valid and enforceable in all the lands under his jurisdiction. In the absence of Khilaafat, it is every man for himself. We are all swirling rudderless in a cesspool of iniquity which has effaced even the Imaan of innumerable so-called scholars and learned men, leave alone the masses.
For ensuring peace on hilaal issues, forget about forging ‘calendar unity’ with other countries. Adopt the simple principle which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had formulated and which the Ummah had adhered to for the past fourteen centuries. There is much barakat in the simplicity if Islam. When people introduce complexity into Islamic simplicity, shaitaan becomes snugly juxtaposed for spreading his mischief in the community.
Q. I am from Cape Town currently living in Durban. The rest of my family is still living in Cape Town. According to my family, the moon was not sighted anywhere in Cape Town, but the MJC accepted the sighting of Johannesburg. We follow the Shaafi’ Math-hab, and according to what I have learnt is that Shaafis are not allowed to accept moon-news from further than 48 miles. Kindly inform us on this issue. My family is concerned about the Fast. Jazaakallah, Was-salaam.
A. The MJC is a redundant, flotsam group whose primary profession is halaalization of carrion. They have no Deeni pedestal. They have no genuine relationship with the Deen. They hypocritically pose as Shaafis, but in reality are juhala dwelling in jahl muraqqab (compound ignorance). Their Shaafi’ism is restricted to Raf’ul Yadain (lifting the hands in Salaat). They are bereft of Deeni bearings. They are unable to distinguish between right and left, darkness and light, truth and falsehood for the simple reason that they are a conglomerate of Baatil. The Shariah has no meaning for them. Their jaahil counterpart in Johannesburg is the NNB Jamiat (No Name Brand Jamiat of Fordsburg) whose miserable chief is the Reverend Bham. These two entities are in an unholy alliance. By degrees they are nibbling at the framework of the Shariah. They are decidedly evil in the extreme.
MONDAY 28TH JULY, 2014 WAS NOT EID FOR SHAAFIS IN CAPETOWN OR ANYWHERE IN THE CAPE.
Your understanding of 48 miles is correct. According to the Shaafi’ Math-hab, the sighting of Johannesburg, even if reliably confirmed, is not valid for Cape Town. It was haraam for Shaafi’s in Cape Town to abandon Ramadhaan, and celebrate Eid on what was the 30th Ramadhaan in terms of the Shaafi’ Math-hab.
But for these vile ulama-e-soo’ who betray the Deen, of primary importance is the fulfilment of their nafsaani and ulterior motives. They are not concerned with the Shariah. If they had any respect for the Deen and if they had possessed genuine Knowledge, they would not have committed the haraam blunder of accepting the announcement of the stupid NNB Jamiat’s Reverend who is crazy about hubb-e-jah (love for cheap name and fame).
SHAAFIS IN CAPE TOWN SHOULD MAKE QADHA OF ONE FAST – THE FAST OF 30th RAMADHAAN WHICH THEY HAD MISSED DUE TO THE SHAITAANIYAT OF THE MJC.
The Shaafi’ community in the Cape should not betray the Deen and act flagrantly in conflict with the Shaafi’ Math-hab which does NOT permit acceptance of moon-sighting from Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, etc. The Shariah is not up for mockery and for meddling and peddling to satisfy whim, desire and ulterior motive. There is absolutely no need for the Shaafi’ community to abandon the Shaafi’ Math-hab for the sake of a satanically inspired false ‘unity’. Islam does not advocate unity with baatil (falsehood). The MJC must be given the boot for all the baatil and haraam they are hoisting on to the Shaafi’ community in the Cape.
(1) Ikhtilaaful Mataali’ or difference in the risings and settings of the sun and stars should not exist. In other words, the horizons of the places should be the same. This means that the places must be located on the same lines of longitude.
(2) Masaafatul Qasr should not apply. In other words, the place from where the news of the sighting emanates should not be at a distance which according to the Shaafi’ Madh-hab permits Qasr Salaat. There exists difference of opinion on this condition among the Shaafi’ Fuqaha.
(3) East-West sightings, i.e. the news of a reliable sighting is acceptable to places lying west of the place where the hilaal was sighted.
On the basis of these essential conditions stipulated by the Shaafi’ Madh-hab it will not be permissible for Shaafis west of Cape Town beyond the Masaafatul Qasr limit to accept the sighting of Cape Town. Thus, Worcester, for example, cannot commence Ramadhaan nor celebrate Eid on the strength of a Cape Town sighting if the hilaal was not sighted in Worcester itself. On the other hand, Worcester can accept sightings of Port Elizabeth, Durban and Johannesburg, if the news is transmitted reliably (due to the close distance).
Hanafis on the other hand, are permitted to accept reliable news of sightings from anywhere, whether east, west, north or south. However, the news must be conveyed by Tareeq-e-Moojib (in a way which the Shariah considers reliable). In this matter, every centre is within its rights to decide the reliability and authenticity of the information of sightings which are reported. Once centre cannot compel its decision on another centre. Every Ulama body is free to accept or reject news of sightings which reaches them. It is, however, obvious that only Shar’i factors should influence either acceptance or rejection of the news.
“…Verily, for every city is its ruling regarding risings and settings, e.g. the rising and setting of the sun, as Mawaardi has said as well as others. This is categorically stated in Al-Kifaayah as well…. Thus, it is proper to relate the time fasting with the risings of Fajr.
Q. Please comment on a group of astronomers who recently proclaimed that there are three valid ways of determining the start or end of an Islamic month.
(2) “To accept the possibility of sighting (imkan-al-ruyah) of the crescent in Southern Africa or South America, whether one waits for that sighting to be confirmed or not, and decree Eid-ul-Fitr for Tuesday 30th; this is what the European Council for Fatwa and Research decided.
(3) To insist on local or regional sightings and testimonies (as countries such as Oman and Morocco do), and in this case Eid could only be on Wed.Aug.31; this is what Oman did with its highly civilized announcement a week before and what Morocco did after receiving testimonies on the 30th.
There is no need to cite the Hadith references for this narration which is of the Tawaatur category. There is consensus on the authenticity and meaning of this Hadith. The new principle, wujood (the presence of the moon in the sky), mentioned in the first option above, is in diametric conflict with the Shariah’s immutable principle of Ruyah (physical sighting), hence it (the principle of the moon’s presence in the sky) is mardood (rejected) and haraam.
Everyone is aware that the moon is always present in the sky at some place or the other. To relate the termination and commencement of the Islamic months to ‘presence’ is to follow in the footsteps of non-Muslim civilizations who also have their own principles for their lunar months. But such principles are at variance with the Islamic principle. The moon’s presence, movement and position in its orbit at any point are absolutely of no significance relative to the Islamic months.
The commencement of the Chinese lunar month was with the sunrise immediately before the new moon. Months of 29 or 30 days begin on the days the new moons are astronomically calculated, not by means of actual sighting. In the Hindu system, the month begins with the full moon. Islam has rejected all systems and has adopted only the principle of Ruyah. While the presence, position and movements of the moon could be accurately determined with the instruments of astronomy, there is absolutely no way to astronomically determine Ruyah, for this is the function of only the physical eyes. Possibility and impossibility of sighting is not Ruyah.
The eyes are wonderful bounties of Allah Azza Wa Jal. They are capable of competing with even telescopes. Confirming this fact, the group of astronomers avers: “….the all-time world record for a crescent seen by naked eyes is 29 minutes, and by telescopes 20 minutes.” The difference in the abilities of the two media (eyes and telescopes) is a mere 9 minutes. The astronomers have confirmed that a sighting with the eyes had taken place in just 29 minutes.
The other new principle stated in the second option above, is imkan al-ruyah or the possibility of sighting the hilaal. This principle too is in flagrant conflict with the immutable principle of the Shariah. Allah Ta’ala has ordained that the principle is Ruyatul Hilaal, not imkaanur ruyah (the possibility of sighting the hilaal). The fabrication of this new principle is a haraam interpolation and abrogation of the divine command. Such interference with the Shariah is tantamount to kufr. Since Allah Ta’ala has ordained Ruyah, no one is then entitled to arrogate to himself the right to scuttle this principle and substitute it with wujood (presence) or imkaan (possibility).
The astronomers have therefore transgressed the limits of the Shariah by pronouncing ‘religious coherence’ for these two haraam principles fabricated in this belated era, fourteen centuries down the line. Their attempt to supersede the Shariah is mardood (rejected). Neither is the theory of wujood nor imkaan denied in relation to astronomical calculations and predictions which are all zanniyaat (conjectural regardless of the high degree of accuracy) as opposed to the Qat’iyyat (Absolute Certitude) of the Ruyah principle of the Shariah.
The third option, namely, Ruyah or actual physical sighting is the only valid Shar’i principle. Those countries – and they are the vast majority – which had celebrated Eid on the basis of this principle acted correctly within the bounds of the Shariah.
It is salubrious that in countries where the only principle employed was Ruyah such as South Africa, there was absolutely no controversy. This year, there was no moon controversy in South Africa since the principle of Ruyah was followed. However, where the Ruyah principle was abandoned, controversy prevailed. In all matters, whenever the limits of the Shariah are transgressed, the consequence is controversy and fitnah.
At the outset let us make it quite clear that we hold no brief for Saudi announcements even if they adopt the principle of Ruyah. The rejection of Saudi pronouncements is based on other factors which are unrelated to this discussion. Shar’i facts may not be denied regardless of the source of their emanation. Therefore, we shall corroborate and support the Saudi system which they claim is the principle of Ruyah notwithstanding our rejection of Saudi pronouncements, not the refutation by the astronomers of the Saudi claim of the possibility of Ruyah even if moonset is one minute after sunset.
The Saudi ‘one minute’ claim is acceptable to the Shariah in view of the fact that it is linked to Rasulullah’s command to search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day of the Islamic month. However, Saudi Arabia has weakened its Shar’i position with the stipulation of moonset after sunset. The Shariah’s principle is Mutlaq (unrestricted by any condition). Regardless of moonset being before or after sunset, the Shariah commands the search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day. There would have been greater credibility and Shar’i force in the Saudi system if the moonset business had been discarded. It is imperative for the correct operation of the Shariah’s command to isolate astronomy in entirety for the purposes of determining the termination and commencement of the Islamic months. Regardless of the accuracy of astronomical calculations, and without contesting their validity, astronomy does not feature anywhere in the Islamic system for determining the months.
The Saudi state Ulama vehemently claim that they are following the Shariah’s command, viz., searching for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day. Whether this is factual or not, we do not know. Nevertheless, this claim is 100% correct. If the requisites of the Shariah pertaining to Shahaadat (testimony) are complied with, and on this basis if Eid, etc. are proclaimed, it will be valid and binding regardless of the noises made by the astronomers. Even if all the astronomers of the world unite to say that it is a total impossibility to sight the moon, the Shariah’s command to search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day may not be abandoned. Regardless of astronomical impossibility, if a sighting satisfies the requisites of the Shariah, the new month will be incumbently declared.
If the hilaal can be sighted 29 minutes after sunset as is confirmed by the astronomers, there is nothing to prevent Allah Ta’ala to make the hilaal visible to the naked eye even one minute after sunset as the Saudi’s assert. The determinant is not moonset and minutes. The determinant is the Sunnah system of establishing the commencement of the months. However, since the Saudi regime is an oppressive, brutal appendage of the U.S.A., the announcements made by Saudi state agencies lack credibility. The announcers are bereft of the Shar’i requirement of adaalat.
The Saudi stance, if it is true that they physically sight the hilaal at the end of the 29th day, does not “trespass into astronomers’ expertise and prerogatives” as the group of astronomers claims. The claim of the Saudi Ulama regardless of it emanating from the state Ulama, merely confirms the position of the Shariah. It does not concern itself with astronomy.
If this stance refutes the expertise of the astronomers, it matters not. The astronomers simply have to digest it and understand that they have no right of intrusion into the domains of the Shariah. For the sake of respecting the theories, observations and findings of the astronomers, it is haraam to render the Shariah subservient to astronomy or any other science. When there is a clash between the Shariah and astronomy, the latter will be dumped in the waste, and the Shariah will prevail regardless of how irrational the Shar’i stance may appear.
Furthermore, the view of the astronomers that it is humanly impossible to sight the hilaal after a few minutes after sunset is not based on any scientific or rational evidence. At most, ‘thousands of observations’ are presented as the grounds for their averment. But ‘thousands of observations’ are not conclusive and absolute evidence for substantiating the claim that the hilaal cannot be visible after one minute. Despite all the thousands of observations, only one case of a 29 minute sighting has been recorded.
Let us assume that this one case was not recorded, or it was never reported, then the astronomers would have claimed that the hilaal cannever be sighted with the naked eyes after 29 minutes simply because the feat accomplished by powerful telescopes is 20 minutes. Such a claim would not be scientific regardless of the number of observations. If a fact lacks the absolute certitude with which an irrefutable logical, rational or scientific principle cloaks it, it cannot be termed scientific. According to the Shariah, the impossibility of Ruyah in terms of astronomy is a Zanni issue.
Q. Please comment on the obligation to search for the new moon.
A. Waajib alal Kifaayah is an obligation of the Shariah which devolves on the entire Muslim community of a locality. If a few persons in a particular community fulfil the obligation, the duty is discharged on behalf of the entire community. The fulfilment by a few absolves the whole community of the Waajib duty. On the other hand, if no one in the community upholds the obligation, the entire community is guilty of the sin of abandoning the Waajib obligation. Everyone in that particular community is then deemed to be sinful. The search for the Hilaal (the Crescent moon of the first of the new Islamic month) is such a compulsory obligation which has to be discharged by the Muslim community.
Regarding this Search, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) commanded that Muslims should search for the new moon at the end of the 29th day of the Islamic month. If the Hilaal is not sighted at the end of the 29th day (i.e. after sunset), for whatever reason, the month will then automatically be a 30 day month. There is no other way whatsoever for determining the ending of the current Islamic month and the commencement of the next Islamic month. Resorting to any other method such as astronomical calculation and birth of the moon, etc. is absolutely not permissible. It is a haraam bid’ah (evil innovation).
On the 29th day of Ramadhaan. it is therefore Waajib on Muslims to search for the hilal immediately after Maghrib Salaat. Some brothers should in fact perform their Maghrib Salaat at the location from where they will be sighting the moon. Regardless of how ‘young’ the moon may be, and regardless of the calculations and predictions of the astronomers who claim that visibility will be impossible, it remains the Waajib obligation of Muslims to search for the hilaal.
Q. What should one do in Saudi Arabia when it is certain that the day declared Eidul Fitr is still Ramadhaan? When it is known for a fact that the moon was not sighted anywhere in Saudi Arabia or any where in the world, should one celebrate Eid because the government has announced that it is Eid? It may also be unsafe to violate the order of the Saudi government.
A. When there is absolute certitude that the hilaal was not sighted anywhere and that it is still Ramadhaan, then you should fast, and not join the mock ‘eid’ salaat ordered by the Saudi government. You cannot be forced to abstain from fasting. Fasting is a private act which is known only to you and Allah Ta’ala. The tyrants of the Saudi ruling entity will not know that you are fasting. As for abstaining from their mock eid salaat, you will not be arrested for this. The tyrants will not know because the eid salaat is not restricted to the Haramain Musjids. You are therefore not exposing yourself to any danger by practically rejecting the haraam order of the Saudi government. The position will, however, differ on the occasion of Hajj. Even if it is not the Day of Arafaat, you have no choice. Your Hajj and Qur’baani will be valid even if the government orders erroneously. You cannot have your own day of Arafaat in Hajj. The Shariah therefore allows participation in this ‘error’. The oppressors will bear the burden of their sins.
Q. From my cell in which I have been secluded for 23 hours of the day, I am unable to see outside to establish whether Ramadhaan will be commencing. What do I do in this case? I was told that Ramadhaan will begin on 1st August.
A. If a person is unable to correctly establish the date when Ramadhaan begins, then he should accept the information he receives from the most reliable source. This year Ramadhaan did begin on 1st August. In all cases of ibaadat when it is impossible to establish accuracy, act according to the fatwa of your heart. The acquisition of the heart’s fatwa is termed Taharri. If you are not aware of the Qiblah, for example, and there is no one to show you, then employ the principle of Taharri.
Q. Some senior Muftis are of the view that global moon sighting is valid. Therefore, Eid could be on the same day all over the world. They quote Shaami in support of their view. Please comment.
A. They are quoting Shaami incorrectly. According to only the Hanafi Math-hab, the sighting of the halaal in the west is valid for regions in the east and vice versa. This mas’alah does not at all mean that it is incumbent on the people in the west to accept the information transmitted by the people in the east and vice versa nor does it mean that we should establish hilaal committees for ‘global sighting’. There never existed any such structure or even attempt in the 14 century history of Islam. Practically in our era in which there is no Ameerul Mu’mineen ruling all the lands of Islam, it is not possible to have a unified Eid based on global sighting. Hitherto there has been nothing but confusion and greater controversy stemming from these ‘global sighting’ endeavours. Reliance cannot be reposed on the corrupt, unjust, tyrannical regime of Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are hopelessly unfit to lead the Ummah in any matter of the Deen. No one and no country has the right to impose its sighting on the inhabitants of another country. Infact, the elders of one town cannot impose their sighting on the inhabitants of another town 10 miles away in the same country. Those harping and barking about ‘global sighting’ and a ‘unified Eid’, don’t have serious work, hence they employ their brains and squander their time in futility, dreaming and hallucinating unattainable goals.Don’t pay attention to their drivel.
Q. What is the validity of the use of astronomical calculations in determining moon-sightings in places such as North America?
A. A deviant body, dubbing itself FIQH COUNCIL OF NORTH AMERICA, has resolved to ‘abrogate’ the fourteen century Rooyah (Physical Sighting) principle of the Shariah. Since the time of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)—from the very inception of Islam—to the present day, the sacred principle on the basis of which the Islamic dates are determined was and shall perpetually be Rooyah (physical sighting) of the crescent moon. The miscreant so-called ‘fiqh council of North America’ is now attempting to abrogate the Shariah by claiming that the inviolable principle of the Shariah is outdated and that it applied to o¬nly illiterate people living in the desert, mountains, villages and the like. But for the ignoramus liberals who are bereft of Deeni insight and extremely deficient in Islamic knowledge, the deviant fiqh council, claim that the new principle of this belated 21st century is ‘astronomical calculations’.
Astronomical calculations have no validity in regard to the determination of the Islamic dates. The Fuqaha (Jurists of Islam) have abundantly and adequately ruled on the impermissibility of this method in so far as it concerns Ramadhaan, the Eids and the Islamic months in general. The errant fiqh council of North America has strayed from the Straight Path of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah in its conspiracy to abrogate the sacred principles of the Shariah. This Deen was perfected fourteen centuries ago. It is not in need of the mutations which the aberrant fiqh council seeks to hook onto the Shariah.
Muslim communities in America should reject the new plot of the fiqh council and continue to determine the Islamic dates in the method shown and commanded to the Ummah by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) more than fourteen hundred years ago. The determination of the Islamic months by the act of Rooyah is an ibaadat which cannot be compromised. The liberals of the fiqh council are attempting to scuttle this sacred principle with their bid’ah of astronomical calculations which the Muslim communities in America should incumbently reject.
Q. In our Musjid we perform Taraaweeh even if the sighting of the moon has not yet been confirmed. The argument is that we should perform Taraaweeh just in case the moon is sighted for Ramadhaan. If the moon is not sighted, there is no harm in having performed the Salaat which would then become Nafl. Performing it early is convenient for the people. Sometimes the news of the sighting reaches us very late. Is our argument valid?
A. Your argument is utterly baseless. Your ‘taraaweeh’ is bid’ah. It is not permissible to commence an ibaadat before its time. The validity of Taraaweeh is dependent on the sighting of the Ramadhaan hilaal (crescent moon). Performance of 20 raka’ts in jamaat as your community is doing is a bid’ah. If the moon is sighted, then although your Taraaweeh will be valid, its commencement without having received confirmation of the sighting is bid’ah. People should exercise some Sabr.
Q. Does sighting of the moon apply to only Ramadhaan and the Eid occasions? Is sighting of the moon during the daytime of the 29th day valid?
A. Sighting of the moon pertains to sighting it only after sunset at the end of the 29th day of the Islamic month. Sighting during the daytime has no relevance in the determination of the Islamic months. Sighting of the moon applies to all the months. If at the end of the 29th day of the Islamic the moon is not sighted nor is there reliable information of a sighting from another place, then the month will have 30 days. After the 30th day, will begin the new month even if the moon is not seen at the end of the 30th day. An Islamic month never has 31 days.
Q. Does Eidul Adha have to be celebrated all over the world when it is the 10th Zil Hajj in Makkah?
A. No, there is no Shar’i incumbency to have Eid all over the world on the same day as in Makkah. Eid is on 10th Zil Hajj. Whenever it is the 10th in a country, it will be Eid for them regardless of what the date is in Saudi Arabia.
Q. In our community I am the only one who follows actual sighting of the moon for determining the Islamic months. The whole community follows the Saudi announcement. What should I do in such a scenario regarding Ramadhaan, Eid, and also 15th Sha'baan and Ashura in Muharram?
A. As far as Eid is concerned, one or two persons cannot celebrate it alone in isolation of the community. The Shariah has guidelines and rules for all situations.
(1) If you alone in the whole community see the hilaal of Ramadhaan, but your testimony is not accepted by the Jamaat of your place, hence officially for the community the next day will not be Ramadhaan. Nevertheless, you should fast the next day.
(2) In the scenario mentioned in No.1 above, there is the probability that you will have to fast 31 days because it is possible that at the end of the community’s 29th day (which is your 30th day of fasting) the moon is not sighted. Hence, the next day will be the community’s 30th day while it will be yours 31st Day. You are required by the Shariah to fast this 31st day. You cannot celebrate Eid alone.
(3) Assuming that you alone saw the hilaal of Shawwaal, but your testimony was rejected and the community regards the next day as the last day of Ramadhaan. Then too you have to fast and believe that there was an error in your sighting.
(4) As far as Muharram is concerned, fasting on the Day of Aashura is not a communal act of Ibaadat. If you saw the hilaal of Muharram, but not the others, then you may act according to your sighting, and fast when it is the 10th according to your calculation.
(5) The same explanation as No. 4 applies for Sha’baan.
Q. My friend who lives in another country started fasting a day earlier than us. Towards the end of Ramadhaan he came to our country. When it was our 29th day of Ramadhaan, it was his 30th fast. The next day when it was our 30th, he did not fast, saying that there is no 31 day month in Islam. Since he had fasted a full 30 days, he did not fast when it was the 30th of Ramadhaan for us. The next day which was Eid for us, he fasted for Shawwaal. Was he correct in his decision?
A. Your friend was supposed to have celebrated Eid together with the community in your country where he had arrived. Eid cannot be celebrated by one person. Since it was still Ramadhaan in your country, your friend was supposed to have fasted. The fast for him too was Fardh. The Islamic month does not have 31 days. Even if fasting on the 30th in your country would mean that your friend would have fasted 31 days, it does not matter. Of significance is the fact that he was present in a country when it was the 30th of Ramadhaan, hence he was supposed to have fasted on that day. It was not Eid for him despite it having been Eid in his country. In matters of Eid and Ramdhaan, the individual has to follow the community. He had sinned for not fasting. He has to make qadha of one fast. He was not supposed to fast for Shawwaal when it was Eid in the country where he was.
Q. I would be grateful if you can advise me on what to do with regards to the fast of Yaumul Arafat this year whose real date is on Tuesday. All my family, relatives, and local community will be doing Eid on Tuesday (following Saudi), while I will be doing it on Wednesday inshaa-Allah. Should I abandon the fast on Tuesday just to make my family and relatives less upset with me, or is it better to stand firm on this important Sunnah?
A. If you will be joining a community who will be celebrating Eid on Wednesday when they will also be having Eid Salaat, then do fast on Tuesday. However, if you are the only one in your community who regard Wednesday as Eid, and there is no Musjid in your locality which will be having Eid Salaat on Wednesday, then you should follow the community and abstain from fasting on Tuesday. This you should do not to please your relatives, but because you have to follow a community in a matter of this nature. An individual may not celebrate Eid alone. But, as mentioned above, if you will be performing Eid Salaat at a place where Eid will be on Wednesday, then fast on Tuesday and make it known to your relatives regardless of their baatil feelings.
Q. My family has been celebrating Eid according to the local Salafi masjid which follows Saudi Arabia for about 10 years, even though we don't follow them in anything else, because almost everyone in our area follows Saudi Arabia for moonsightings unless we drive about 45 minutes away (where we used to live before 10 years ago). I have only recently found out that they are wrong. Should Qadaa fasts be made for the amount of Islamic years that have passed since 10 years ago while I was baaligh? Is it necessary to fast these Qadaa before the next coming Ramadaan? Also, what should I do in the future for Ramadaan and Eid if I currently don't have a car but may have one next time? It seems that I will be in Jamaat with my grandfather when Ramadaan begins.
A. Fast and celebrate Eid with the community. If the community as a whole follows the Saudi sightings, then follow the community. There is no need for Qadha of any past fasts.
Q. Where I am living the entire community will be having Eid on Tuesday 15 October 2013 although the hilaal was not sighted here. They follow the Saudi announcement. What should I do regarding Eid Salaat?
A. You should join the community for Eid Salaat on Tuesday since there is no other community at your end having Eid on Wednesday. However, if there is a community nearby who will be celebrating Eid on Wednesday, then join that community for Eid Salaat.

The Lord has promised you wonderful things for your life, your business and your ministry.
Yet it is taking so long. Sometimes you tempted to give up on these promises. It looks like the Lord has forgotten you and bypassed you.
Today we going look Following Jesus. The Path and the journey and why it is can taking so long. And looking and some very practical thing you can do.
Each person’s path is unique design by our Father in heaven to bring us to place He desires us to be. Not just physically but in all dimensions and realms.
Our path is multidimensional and is not linear.
God’s time is Kairos and not Chronos. Kairos is not calendar based but based on conditions being met and in alignment. It’s the SET TIME!
IF this THEN that… conditional.
The Path is Dynamic and changes based on our good or bad choices in life, also our attitude will determine the path He chooses us to follow.
What can cause delays for the promises?
Anything that distracts off the Path of Life will cause us a time delay.
Coming up with your own business plans or ministry plans.
What does He require for the promises to be fulfilled in your life?
9 years later after 7 years of plenty and 2 years of famine, Joseph was finally reconciled with his family. The dream was not manifest that Joseph 22 years earlier.
How to get back on the Path?
Confess your sins by name to Him.
Wait in silence in His presence and allow Him to show you the next step for today and this week. Ask Him what is He doing in His business and His ministry?
As you wait in His peace and presence, He will speak to you. His ways are not your ways. He doesn’t always speak directly through words, but through ideas and light and signs etc.
Just be sensitive and follow His peace and joy by His Spirit.
6. Write the ideas and plans down.
8. Just keep walking day by day.
9. Pray over everything that comes on your path. Jesus did nothing unless He saw the Father doing it…. So too we must do nothing unless we see Jesus doing it.
Are you ready to take the Lion’s Share? Find out what Kingdom Business is and what God is saying to those called in business. Get positioned for the coming wealth transfer into Gods Kingdom.
Thank you for your inspirational message in “Why is it taking so long”. I have felt like that at times but I know our Father is with me all the way, no matter what I’m going through. I rededicated my life to Jesus on 18 February 2011. After my husband and I were separated for 4 months at the end of 2010 beginning of 2011. I thought my marriage was over BUT GOD had other plans for me & my life. He has worked with me in all dimensions. i am forever changed. Thank you to you & Miriam for your uplifting emails.

May Father bless you and your wonderful family in this next year.

1 critical aspect of your home that you may well not feel about usually is the covering over your head. If you are undertaking any kind of roofing function that is spending budget conscience, this would be the product to trust and use, and your roofing business will much more than most likely propose applying these sorts of shingles for the reason that they will have the interest of your home in thoughts. Step five: Cut off the roof felt and ice and water shield that is hanging over the eaves of the roof.
There are a wide variety of causes for broken shingles that do not indicate severe roof damage. My husband created 1 trip to a roofing supply retailer to figure out specifically what shingle we wanted. The new shingle will not pretty fill the gap between the shingles on either side equalize the gaps involving shingles side to side. In a quantity of US cities like Pasadena and Anne Arundel County, you would uncover a lot of houses with shingles roofing. When you hire a roofing contractor to do the job for you, they do not only charge for labor.
Low-priced shingles have been applied and a higher wind broke 4 of them in half – this does not want a roofing enterprise to repair. If you’re hunting to have your roof repaired or even installed for the incredibly first time, you are clearly going to want to look for an skilled roofing corporation. Cap shingles are shingles that go directly on major of the roof vent or more than the peak of the roof. With a slope of significantly less than 14 degrees, low slope roofs are generally made of weather resistant materials that protect against water from permeating them.
Corrugated fiberglass roof shingles are very light in weight and also a non-absorbent material that is fire resistant as properly as a high tolerance to heat, meaning they will not warp and bend in heat. My mandate to my husband was to have a strong, muscle individual carry the heavy shingles up – the compromise was excellent – and while he would not admit it – it streamlined the method for him tremendously.
It is the right size to space the nails the appropriate distance apart, saving lots of time along the way. Home Depot and Lowes does not carry substantially choice, and to top rated top quality materials, so it is to the supply homes that I look for roofing materials. And the sinker nails, even though they function nicely, do not meet the corrosion resistance recommendations of the Hardie business. Shingles support owners hold the look of their residences in an updated situation.

This is a request for 5 years of funding through the """"""""Mentored Research Scientist Development Award"""""""" (K01) mechanism. The applicant, Dr. Colleen Hanlon, is a neurobiologist with experience using functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine neural networks affected in chronic cocaine users. To further characterize changes in cortical activity in cocaine users, this application proposes a program of training in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The long- term goal of the applicant is to become an independent investigator, skilled in the application of multiple imaging modalities that may be used to guide treatment strategies in substance abusing populations. The training plan includes structured training courses in TMS acquisition and analysis, DTI image analysis, and multivariate statistics, as well as ongoing training by a team of mentors. Career development is also a strong component of this application with time devoted to Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research, manuscript and grant writing, mentoring students, attendance at scientific meetings, and interactions with the institutional review board. The research component of this award extends prior NIH-funded research complete by Dr. Hanlon, and has been carefully designed to parallel the training plan. The overarching goal of this proposal is to determine the extent to which changes in corpus callosum integrity (Specific Aim #1) and cortical inhibitory tone (Specific Aim #2) are related to atypical BOLD signal changes in the cortex of chronic cocaine users. In addition to extending investigations on sensorimotor laterality, the impact of loss of cortical laterality on cognitive function in cocaine users will also be addressed (Specific Aim #3). These experiments will reveal the extent to which changes in cortical inhibitory tone and corpus callosal integrity may contribute to neurofunctional and behavioral deficiencies in chronic cocaine users. The results of these experiments will be used to further the investigation and development of therapeutic treatment strategies in stimulant dependent individuals. | 2019-04-23T07:55:16 | http://grantome.com/grant/NIH/K01-DA027756-05 |

A lot of people are typically not excited about tofu. And I get it. It’s a very neutral ingredient. It doesn’t impose any strong taste or texture to a dish. It’s fragile and gentle. Too gentle, maybe. For me though, those are exactly the same reasons why I love tofu. It’s sort of a blank slate, and you’re free to paint the flavors that you’re feeling or craving for. It has this subtle soy taste that leaves a fine trace of light creaminess. Easy. Flexible.
To rouse this fragile ingredient, a mighty combination with tofu would be a mix of strong and hot spices. Cajun tofu tacos! A light yet spicy meal which are perfect swaps to fish or chicken tacos. Ok, if you’re really not a tofu fan, simply use fish filet or chicken breast and follow the recipe below. Cajun goodness is always worth a try!
Mix the flour and the spices together. Cut the tofu into long thick sticks. Dip in the beaten egg, and then roll over the flour-spice mixture covering it well. Fry the breaded tofu strips in a little bit of oil. | 2019-04-23T06:10:19 | https://cheznousgva.com/2015/04/08/cajun-tofu-tacos/ |
TOKYO -- Yukio Edano, the leader of Japan's opposition Constitutional Democratic Party received an unexpected endorsement on Oct. 16, when Shintaro Ishihara, the firebrand right-wing former Tokyo governor tweeted that he was impressed by the 53-year old.
"This election is exposing the ugly personalities of many candidates," said the 85-year old Ishihara, whose credentials include trying to have the Tokyo municipal government purchase the Senkaku Islands as well as calling for Japan to have nuclear weapons. "Some fled from the enemy before the war, escaped to the opponent's side and betrayed their colleagues. Only Edano, who remained steadfast, looks like a real man."
That anecdote may represent best the reason why voters in Sunday's parliamentary election showed strong support for Edano and his nascent CDP. Originally part of the main opposition Democratic Party, Edano and his colleagues were barred from joining Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike's new Kibo no To, or Party of Hope, because she rejected them as "too liberal" -- a political error that critics say fatally undermined her claim to be Japan's dominant opposition figure.
Rather than sign a document promising to support amending the country's pacifist constitution and freezing a consumption tax hike to join Koike's party, Edano formed a new party to be a base for the country's liberal wing. Exit polls released after voting stations closed on Sunday suggest that the CDP may emerge as the country's biggest opposition party, ahead of Koike's movement.
"It is no longer a battle of ideologies between right and left. The real battle of the 21st century is between top-down and bottom up," Edano repeated in campaign speeches. "Making strong players stronger so that the benefits trickle down to the rest is the old way. Instead, we should make everybody's life better as a way to make the economy stronger."
Although he describes himself as "both a liberal and a conservative," his political views are acceptable to those on the far-left. When the Party of Hope decided to run a candidate in Edano's constituency in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, the Japanese Communist Party immediately canceled its own candidate so as to not take away votes from Edano.
Coincidentally, Edano kicked off his career in national politics side by side with Koike. Both ran as candidates of the Japan New Party in the 1993 lower house election and won their seats. Edano has held on to his ever since.
Edano was chief cabinet secretary, serving as the government's No. 2 and spokesman, under Prime Minister Naoto Kan in 2011. He was the face of the government's efforts to combat the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan, natural disasters that triggered three meltdowns at a Fukushima Prefecture nuclear plant. His constant appearances on the podium, day in and day out, triggered the hashtag #edano_nero (Edano, go to sleep). Japan's Twittersphere was showing sympathy.
Six years on, Edano's political career is now about to enter a new phase, potentially as leader of Japan's opposition. Koike's decisions to bar left-leaning opposition members from joining her party and not to run herself as a candidate turned out to be grave miscalculations. Koike flew to Paris for to attend a conference on the eve of the election and apologized from the French capital as the Japanese results came in -- a far cry from the high standing she enjoyed at the start of the campaign. Edano's party, meanwhile, saw its star burning brighter as the election night wore on. | 2019-04-18T22:39:09 | https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Japan-s-election/Yukio-Edano-Japan-s-opposition-leader-to-watch |

With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s important to invest in some versatile pieces you can feel good about wearing again (and again) without hesitation — it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, wearing the same outfits in the same ways! From workwear, to cocktail hour, to weddings and beyond, I am so thrilled to show you how to style your favorite pieces in a few new ways. After all, now is perfect the time to explore your wardrobe, play with your accessories, and keep things exciting!
I love the gorgeous emerald color of the Adriana Dress (which looks incredible on every skin tone!).
I kept this look simple and office friendly with a statement necklace and leopard heels. I love pairing animal print with jewel tones — treat it as a neutral!
To switch things up, I threw on a leather jacket for the perfect night out on the town look. I swapped out my statement jewelry for a few delicate pieces and added a smaller clutch. Still loving the animal print, so I finished with my snakeskin pumps and headed out!
If you don’t have a black jumpsuit in your wardrobe, you need to seriously consider investing in one! It’s such a versatile piece you can wear year round. Dress it up, dress it down — and not to mention, it’s pajama-level-comfy!
The Yoli Jumpsuit looks amazing on its own, but you can easily layer with your favorite blazer for a completely professional, put-together look.
This jumpsuit is a blank canvas! Play with accessories to make it feel fresh and new each time you wear it. I added red accessories for (tasteful) pops of color. This is the perfect update to a classic wedding guest go-to.
This Lisa Dress makes me feel like I can accomplish anything! With its flattering silhouette and rich wine hue, this is a favorite for the season.
For my first look, I accessorized with wine-hued shoes to play with the idea of a monochromatic look. I added a classic trench coat and some fun tortoise earrings to compliment the all-over color and pull the look together.
In spirit of trying new things, I was inspired to try this dress out as a skirt! I’ve never tried this technique before, but was pleasantly surprised to see how well it worked. I layered with sweetly detailed neutral sweater and cinched in at the waist with a skinny black belt. This is an easy way to love your dresses in a brand new way!
Are you loving these looks? Are you willing to try any of these trends? Leave your comment below!

For many, making coffee is a morning routine you sleepwalk through, following a formula that somehow established itself as your preference: this much ground coffee, this much hot water and you’re ready to jump-start your day.
Yet the coffee landscape has changed radically in the last few years. The pros have rethought everything — roasts, brewing gear, brewing techniques — and it’s up to you to take advantage of it.
Some of what you will need to do may seem excessive or even neurotic. It’s hard to argue the point: It’s much easier to make bad coffee than good coffee. But once you get down the basics and pick up some decent equipment, you may find some pleasure in what should be a satisfying rite.
Here are three steps you can take to get to that place. You can proceed one at a time, or do them all at once.
If you buy only one new piece of coffee equipment, make it a grinder — the single most important tool in your kit. You can make nice coffee with a good grinder and an inexpensive brewer, but even the most advanced machine can’t do much with preground coffee sitting in a bag, and losing flavor as it is exposed to air. Grind the beans just before you brew, and the coffee will taste galaxies better.
In other words, a burr grinder is both a workhorse (you use it every day) and a precision instrument (crushes consistently). The Baratza Encore (from $129) is a fine entry-level model, as are the Breville Dose Control Pro ($179), which has more features, and the Oxo Barista Brain ($199), which has a built-in digital scale. The quality of the motor and burrs on the Baratza Virtuoso ($229) make it all the grinder you will need at home.
Now that “nerd” has gone from a slur to a compliment, it frees you to be more compulsive about how you make coffee. To start, coffee should be measured in grams, using a digital scale. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You can buy a perfectly functional digital scale for less than $15.
This suggestion shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody who has bought a baking cookbook recently. For years, pastry chefs have weighed their ingredients in grams, and now it’s standard for all corners of a restaurant kitchen. If you’ve baked using a digital scale, you know it is very easy to use and delivers better results with less mess or waste.
And it’s not just the coffee you should weigh. Ideally, you would also weigh your water, or at least measure volume in liters, rather than cups or ounces. Here’s why: When you brew coffee, you’re working with a ratio, a certain amount of coffee to water that you can scale up or down depending on how much you want to make. Most Americans do this with scoops and cups, meaning the cup measurements marked on the coffee machine. But a cup on a coffee machine is usually five ounces (not eight), and a scoop is arbitrary(there is no standard measurement). It’s a messy system.
If you are going to the trouble of creating that ratio every morning, you may as well do it right. A good benchmark is 55 grams of coffee to 1,000 grams (or one liter) of water, which is the Golden Cup Ratio of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. Don’t let the metric system scare you; it actually makes doing any math much easier.
As for the scale itself, an inexpensive one is all you need; be sure it has a capacity of at least two kilograms. But if you want to nudge open the door of coffee obsession, consider the Hario V60 scale ($60), which is accurate up to 0.01 of a gram, has a built-in timer and comes in Death Star matte black.
By the way, the best place to store beans is in a cool, dark, airtight place, and not in your grinder, which presumably sits out on the counter. Keeping the beans in the bag in a cabinet is fine. Take them out as needed, weigh them and then grind.
There are two categories of coffee makers: manual brewers, which require you to heat the water and pour it over the grounds, and automatic brewers, which are appliances that do the heating and pouring for you.
Manual brewers have the advantage of being inexpensive. The Kalita Wave dripper ($35.95) is affordable, although the price climbs once you factor in filters ($12.95 for 100), a server ($24.95) and a pouring kettle ($107.95), which strictly speaking isn’t necessary but helps you finesse the water. The Hario V60 dripper ($23) is a little less expensive, and the Chemex 8-cup($39) is both a dripper and a handsome server that looks good on the breakfast table.
Manual brewers also allow you greater control of both the water temperature (it should be around 200 degrees Fahrenheit; cooler water doesn’t extract as well) and how the water hits the grounds. You can even streamline the process by putting the brewer directly on the scale so you can measure the hot water as you pour it in. Just watch the numbers on the scale climb.
But if you would rather have a machine do the work — no shame there — then you should look to one of the coffee makers that essentially replicates a manual brew. These appliances are superior to standard coffee machines because they are engineered to get the water hotter (the heating elements are better) and disperse it evenly so the grounds are fully saturated. And, as you can imagine, they are more expensive.
The entry-level models are the Bonavita BV1900TS ($189), which does everything right, and the Oxo Barista Brain ($199). Both are following the trail blazed by the Technicovrm Moccamatser ($299.95), a Dutch machine introduced in 1968 that has been the gold standard.
Last year, Chemex unveiled the Ottomatic ($350), a bold move for a company built on manual brewing. Basically, it is a machine designed around a traditional Chemex dripper. At the high end, you have the Clive Coffee Ratio ($570) designed by a Portland, Ore., company that is to coffee what vintage Marantz was to stereos. It’s by nerds, for nerds. Under all that brushed nickel and polished wood is a serious machine. | 2019-04-20T10:46:05 | https://www.scottydcoffee.com/blogs/news/123788743-3-steps-to-brewing-a-better-cup-of-coffee-from-home |

Endcaps are used to cover the inside material of a countertop.
The availability of laminate countertops is plentiful in today's society. The multiple colors and finishes of the laminate allow homeowners the opportunity to install a countertop that compliments their decor. Many home improvement centers have sections of laminate countertops for sale and will cut the sections to the desired dimensions. The material on the inside of the countertop is exposed during the cutting process. Cover the cut area with a laminate endcap that matches the surface of the laminate countertop.
Place the countertop on a flat and stable work surface. Position the countertop so the end requiring the endcap has easy access.
Cover the exposed end of the countertop with a layer of wood glue. Center and press the buildup strip into place. Secure the buildup strip to the end of the countertop using four, 1-inch wood screws. Wipe the excess glue from the edges of the endcap and the countertop surface, using a cloth.
Brush a layer of contact adhesive over the buildup strip and the back of the laminate endcap. Allow the contact adhesive to cure until it becomes very tacky. This will take between 10 to 20 minutes depending on the humidity and temperature of the room.
Center the endcap over the end of the counter and press it into place. Pay special attention to centering the endcap as once it is in place, it will not move.
Press and roll the endcap in place, using a seam roller or a wooden rolling pin. The rolling process moves trapped air bubbles and excess contact adhesive to the outside edges of the end piece. Allow the endcap to dry one to two hours before continuing.
Trim the excess laminate from the endcap. Apply a layer of petroleum jelly or other lubricant along the cutting line of the endcap to prevent friction burns. Cut through the laminate with a flush trim router bit.
Lightly file and round the cut edge, using a flat file. File toward the countertop to avoid cracking or chipping the laminate.
Wipe the endcap and surrounding area with adhesive solvent to remove excess wood glue, contact adhesive and petroleum jelly.
Custom-ordered laminate countertop will come with a buildup strip and laminate endcap. The pieces also are sold separately.
Wear safety goggles when cutting excess laminate from the endcap.

Healthcare workers on intensive care units (ICUs) are regularly missing opportunities to clean their hands during the care of patients, despite its critical importance for infection control, according to new research being presented at this year’s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Interventions to improve hand hygiene compliance should teach healthcare workers to move from cleaner to dirtier tasks to minimize risks to patients, researchers say.
Despite concerted efforts to tackle the prevalence of healthcare-associated infections, they are still one of the most common complications of hospital care, affecting around 30 percent of patients in ICUs in high-income countries. These infections are associated with a substantial amount of ill health and death as well as considerable health service costs.
Hand hygiene is critical to preventing healthcare-associated infections, which kill about 100,000 people a year in the USA and cost about US$33 billion to treat.
According to the US CDC, roughly 1 in every 25 patients acquires a healthcare-associated infection during their hospital care, adding up to about 722,000 infections a year. Of these, 75,000 patients die of their infections.
To provide more evidence, Professor Loreen Herwaldt from Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City, USA, and colleagues analyzed data from the Strategies to Reduce Transmission of Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria in Intensive Care Units (STAR*ICU) study. They assessed when healthcare workers did hand hygiene during their sequences of care, and identified factors associated with hand hygiene compliance as defined by the CDC/HICPAC Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings.
The research team linked consecutive tasks that individual healthcare workers performed into care sequences to identify ‘task transitions’–defined as two consecutive patient care tasks, such as touching a patient’s intact skin followed by handling the patient’s body fluids, and the intervening hand hygiene opportunities.
In total, 3246 hours of observation were recorded between December 2005 and August 2006 in ICUs in 18 centers across the USA.
Compared with nurses, physicians were 50 percent more likely to move from dirtier to cleaner tasks, whilst other healthcare workers (e.g., radiology technicians, respiratory therapists) were more than twice as likely to do this.
Worse still, healthcare workers performed proper hand hygiene in just half the instances when moving from dirtier to cleaner tasks, and only around 43 percent of the instances when moving from cleaner to dirtier tasks.
This is an observational study so no firm conclusions can be drawn, and the authors point to several limitations including that healthcare workers’ behavior may have been influenced by the presence of observers. They also note that prospective studies are needed to validate the findings. | 2019-04-26T00:35:23 | http://www.drugnews.in/2019/04/15/poor-hand-hygiene-procedure-compliance-among-healthcare-workers-in-icus/ |
A bicycle butler’s most important job is to place wrongly parked bicycles correctly in the bicycle racks in good spirits and with a smile on his face. But not only does the bicycle butler move the bicycles that are in the way, he will also oil the chain and pump the tyres if needed.
For the last six months, as part of the City of Copenhagen’s strategy to become the world’s best city for cyclists, Copenhagen has had a bicycle butler service at six metro stations around the city. The idea is to exchange a wave and a smile in hopes of motivating the cyclists to change their behaviour if they get a good experience. Moreover, the bicycle butler himself is hired as part of an activation project to help long-term unemployed people back to the job market.
It is important that the bicycles are parked correctly so they are not in the way. Bicycles parked outside bicycle racks are a nuisance for those trying to get through the front areas of the metro station. More importantly, bicycles block fire access and emergency routes to be used by ambulances and fire engines in case of an emergency.
Where are the bicycles put and how do their owners find them again?
At the six metro stations signs have been put up explaining where to park and why, that the bicycle butler might have moved your bicycle, and if so, where you can find it. The bicycle butler puts a small note on the handlebar of the bicycles he moves explaining the project and wishing the cyclist a good day—naturally, bicycles that are placed wrongly over and over again do not get their chain oiled or tyres pumped.
All feedback so far indicates that the project is a great success, and very few abuse the good intentions: A count of the wrongly parked bicycles before and after the project began shows that far fewer park their bicycles incorrectly after meeting the bicycle butler. Cyclists as well as users of the metro are very happy with the efforts, and the bicycle butler loves his new job. | 2019-04-20T18:56:55 | http://www.cycling-embassy.dk/2010/11/03/the-bicycle-butler-%E2%80%93-from-scolding-fingers-to-oil-and-a-smile/ |
When you typically think of graduates doing outstanding work after graduation, one may argue that it’s coming from a young and ambitious 20 or 30-something career driven Reynolds School grad.
With that said, please get to know Doris (Hanssen) Sinofsky. She’s a graduate from the class of 1949, and at the age of 86, she’s managed to produce an award-winning documentary on the Holocaust titled, “Never Forgotten.” The film won a 2013 Telly Award. It is the premier award honoring the finest film and video productions, groundbreaking web commercials, videos and films, and outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs.
Doris Sinofsky – Never Forgotten from Reynolds School of Journalism on Vimeo.
The idea to produce “Never Forgotten” came to her after she met a fellow resident at Cedar Crest, an active community for senior adults in northern New Jersey.
After speaking with Lily, Sinofsky soon discovered that several of her fellow community members had not only suffered through and endured the Holocaust but managed to survive, recover, move on, relocate to the United States, start families and live meaningful lives.
A total of 19 interviews were conducted for the documentary. Sinofsky worked with Bert Moore, Cedar Crest’s pastoral ministries manager and former Navy chaplain, to conduct interviews.
Other interviews were humorous and unexpected.
“Never Forgotten” debuted at the Cedar Crest theater on May 21 at 7 p.m. to a packed house of more than 263 people.
“I received a great education at the Reynolds School,” she said. “I still write for the Cedar Crest newspaper. I conduct interviews and keep all of my notes for one year. I worry about what my lead is going to be so I can entice people to read more.
During her time at the Reynolds School, Sinofsky worked for the Sparks Tribune for three years and interned during her senior year with the Reno Gazette-Journal.
In addition to working for the Sparks Tribune and interning for the Gazette, Sinofsky served as secretary to the Nevada student body president and worked for the Nevada Sagebrush. She also served as editor of Artemisia, the University of Nevada’s yearbook, and was president of the Press Club.
Her time at Nevada also led her to her husband, Ken Sinofsky, a Nevada football (1944-1949) star. He was inducted into the Nevada Athletics Hall of Fame in 1987 and is a member of the Nevada Century Team. | 2019-04-26T12:31:59 | https://journalism.unr.edu/86-year-old-reynolds-school-grad-wins-telly-award-for-documentary/ |

JICMAIL asked Simon Frazier, Research & Marketing Manager, IPA to elaborate on the value of IPA TouchPoints in today’s complex time-precious world for planners and consumers alike.
When we launched TouchPoints back in 2006, the media landscape (in terms of the variety and number of media choices available) was vastly different to the world that we now inhabit.
Back in 2006, social media as we know it today was still in its infancy. A TV was a TV and the lack of truly high speed internet meant that loading up anything more than a short news clip was a struggle, and to even do that you’d likely have to power up a computer and wait for it to finish updating.
In short, the world of media was simpler then.
In the media world, we talk in acronyms of emerging platforms - of SVoD, BVoD and AFVoD; of blockchain, programmatic and addressable media - and the new opportunities these delivery mechanisms offer for marketing.
In investigating this idea, I decided to go through the TouchPoints data from the perspective of a consumer to look at video, audio and text consumption from their perspective. I grouped all the available media in 2006 and 2018 that fit into these three categories, immaterial of how they were delivered, and I analysed the data to look at the reach on an average day from the TouchPoints Diary.
My expectation was that I would end up with two charts that bore no resemblance to each other. The reality was quite different.
Text and audio based media still peak around breakfast time and video builds across the day to deliver that large peak in the evening.
I know what you’re thinking. “Hang on a minute, that’s not what I’ve been told! The media world is in turmoil, surely consumers are literally spinning in their connected worlds, frantically swiping left and right in search of an ever elusive content fix."
In the 12 years between the launch of TouchPoints and its most recent release, yes the delivery mechanisms of content have changed dramatically. However, when it comes to the media need states of today’s consumer, not much has changed at all.
Of course, this thinking itself isn’t even new. In reality we’ve know these things all along. What makes the point suddenly more striking is the fact that industry standard nationally representative data from TouchPoints provides real data to bear these assumptions out. It's data which provides gold-standard justification for pre-existing assumptions.
In 2017, the IPA and ISBA joined forces to launch 'A Matter of Fact', an initiative to re-inforce the need for accountable media data whereby all interested parties on the buy and sell sides support 5 key principles.
The key point was to support the gold-standard Joint Industry Currency (JIC) model for audience data, and to hold proprietary datasets to the same level of accountability that the JICs are subject to. The underlying goal was to re-inforce trusted relationships between clients, agencies, media owners and, ultimately the person at the heart of all of this, the consumer.
As Eric Schmidt of Google said, “in a networked world, trust is the most important currency”; and as Unilever have articulated so well recently, accountability and reliability in media data are paramount as the media landscape fragments.
In many ways the requirement of accountable media data isn’t just about meeting Keith Weed’s Needs, but about realising that his needs are the needs of everyone involved in the industry and - surprise, surprise - they have been all along.
Since 2006, the IPA has been integrating Joint Industry Currency datasets onto TouchPoints, to create the only industry available cross-media channel planner, allowing industry agreed calculations of cross media reach and frequency for campaigns.
It has provided a planning safe haven where confidence and trust in the data are intrinsic, and 2019 represents a landmark year, being the first time that JICMAIL’s data has been incorporated into the TouchPoints channel planner, providing trusted data for a media channel with an annual expenditure of over £1.7bn.
Now that figure may shock you, as it did me when I heard that mail was the third biggest media behind online and TV in terms of spend at the recent JICMAIL Planning in a Multi-Channel World event.
And as these media myths that drive our perceptions abound that “nobody watches TV anymore”, or “nobody reads mail these days”, I’m just glad we have accountable Joint Industry Currency data that we can trust to set our perceptions straight.
This is the third of “Planning with JICMAIL” – a series of articles and guides by industry experts and practitioners that seek to unlock the value of JICMAIL data for advertisers throughout all stages of the planning cycle.
Advertisers can access JICMAIL data for a free subscription period. If you’d like to see the value of JICMAIL data please contact [email protected] or go to www.jicmail.org.uk. | 2019-04-22T11:00:50 | https://mediatel.co.uk/newsline/2019/04/15/keeping-constant-in-the-face-of-change/ |
