It's Tuesday, so that means it's time for Stunting With the Kardashians!
Kris Jenner filed for divorce yesterday so Bruce Jenner could brush his extensions and polish his stud (earrings) in peace. Kris is a total pro and didn't miss a beat. She made no mention of the official end of her marriage and pimped out her clothes on eBay instead.
Kris didn't mention the split and tweeted, "Last chance to bid on this little number and many more on my eBay auction…" Apparently, the Kardashians are cleaning out their closets and, instead of donating it to Goodwill like normal people, they are putting that shiz on eBay. It's like a cheap celebrity's version of a garage sale. Hey, golden toilets and magicians aren't cheap!

In the 1800s, "Chimayo Red" chili became famous throughout the Southwest and Mexico, and most families in the Chimayo area farmed it. In modern times, many farmers have given up trying produce heritage chilis, opting for more commercially viable chilis. Now only a handful of farmers are still growing authentic Chimayo chile.
Because of its rarity, we haven't yet found a supplier for solely Chimayo-grown chili. So the folks at Los Chileros did the next best thing: Blend ground Chimayo peppers with the more common Hatch red chilis from southern New Mexico. The result is a flavorful blend that you won't find anywhere else.

DIY Postcard Exchange 2012: Part 2
Here is the second half of the DIY postcard exchange for 2012.
The first time, I showed you the first 5 cards I did. Now are the other 5. Phew.
I wasn't sure if I was going to finish this little fairy/elf, but I decided that, since I started it, I just had to finish it. Besides, she ended up quite pretty.
This little girl knitting with her cats reminds me a little of my Crafty Life comic I did, not so long ago.
And it's the return of the Matryoshka! What's not to like about theses little ladies?
This illustration is the only one I made with Prismacolors markers and my brand new Copics. I was surprised how it ended up looking so good.
And since i drew some kind of a "TreeMan", I just had to draw a "TreeWoman".
I did most of the cards with watercolors, including this one, mostly because watercolor paper is so resistant. It was an interesting way of working!
This little "mummy boy" is a character I designed years ago. It's a story about little monsters going to "Monster's school".
I didn't start this comic because I thought it sounded too Harry Potter to my taste, at the time. But, who knows, maybe one day I'll find an interesting twist and work it out!
One project done! Now, on to the next! :p

President to order pay freeze
In an effort to get a handle on the ballooning cost of government, President Obama is expected to use his first State of the Union address to announce, among other things, freezes in pay for some White House officials, as well as a government-wide spending freeze. But one of the President's top budget experts says don't look for the freeze to affect all federal agencies equally.

The Honda Civics were able to get closer to the Citroëns in Argentina.

The ask: To create a social engagement tactic that fits in with the concept of "together at Applebee's." Oh, and if you could brainstorm and execute in under 48 hours, that'd be great.
Why you're looking at this: My partner and I had a ton of fun concepting on this Facebook app, which scans your friend's statuses for keywords to determine your "loneliest friend." Then you can send that friend to a microsite where Modern Family's Ty Burrell will point out all of their lonely flaws, and urge them to get back in the game by joining some friends at Applebee's.
It's not every day you get to write for Ty Burrell and I like to think there are some clever gems in this creative.
Art direction by Conal Cronin.
The ask: Create posters, shirts and a :30 spot for the launch of the new AMC Stubs program. Posters should clearly convey the benefits of Stubs. And match the pitch creative. But do something new. But use only movies on this approved list. Shirts should promote benefits. But also be something crew members would actually want to wear. The spot should create an emotion around the AMC Stubs program but still fit in with the rest of the launch materials. However, it should be able to live on its own since it will continue to be run in theatres well after the launch as an evergreen tactic.
Why you're looking at this: Not only did everyone in creative love them, and the folks from strategy, and those guys from account leadership, but the client loved them too. The spot was a particularly sweet victory for me since it was almost not even shown to the client (our ECD didn't feel we'd had enough time to fully explore it). But I believed in the work, fought for it, and convinced them to let me present it. The best part? The client loved it. Not to mention, it served as my modeling debut.
Art direction by Franchesca Jovica and Ben Lipsett.
The ask: Create a six-touch direct mail campaign to compliment the existing Terminix "Monsters" campaign.
Why you're looking at this: It's not every day you get to be conceptual on a #10 letter. But we managed it on this campaign. The headlines use popular monster myths to show that pests and termites really are monsters. Plus, we got the client to agree to test a more conceptual version, which resulted in the "Shadow" pieces you see. It was another personal victory when the more creative shadow campaign won out over the more straightforward pieces. Oh, and did I mention that there were more than 200 versions to write for? On a reduced timeline? But that's it.
Art direction by Conal Cronin.
The ask: Create static display ads that tie into the Terminix "monsters" DM campaign.
Why you're looking at this: Static ads are a challenge since you only have one frame and limited amounts of space to get a point across. But I think that these two were particularly compelling.
The ask: Create two signs to be displayed in the ServiceMaster area of the FedEx Forum, home of the Memphis Grizzlies. They should definitely play off the venue. But don't forget that basketball isn't the only thing that happens in the arena. Oh, and they'll be in the concourse outside of the bathroom.
Why you're looking at this: Everyone loves a good ref joke. Amiright? But really, these posters get our key idea across in a very simple, clever way. Now, the third poster is my particular favorite, even if it didn't get produced. Well, at least it got a few chuckles from the client.
Art direction by Alex Pierce.
The ask: Convince customers who used AT&T wi-fi at Starbucks to get AT&T high-speed Internet at home.
Why you're looking at this: This was a really great use of an animated GIF to show off all the different places you can use AT&T wi-fi. I also utilized learnings from previous campaigns to improve this email blast. After studying several months of results, I found that thank you messages tended to get higher open rates. One "thank you" subject line later and the open and click-through rates both went up over the previous month's blast.
Art direction by Rondo Estrello.
The ask: Create a brand identity and website for Javelin. The website should place equal emphasis on Javelin's abilities (creative, strategy, analytics, technology and integration) and sell the agency to potential new clients.
Why you're looking at this: The concept for the Javelin brand was originally titled "Marketing Rehab" because Javelin's key goal is to improve a company's marketing through analytics and results. With that in mind, we created a brand and website that encourage a conversation. Quite literally, "Have a seat and let's talk." A bit like AA. This was a huge undertaking but a huge honor to be selected to create an agency's brand and online presence.
Art direction by Jessica Stehlin.
The ask: To create static, flash and rich media display ads targeting customers who have recently visited the Terminix website.
Why you're looking at this: When you're talking to customers who are already interested in pest control, you have to tell them why they should choose your pest control. And Terminix has a lot of reasons to choose them. There was an awful lot of information to present in a tiny space (the client wanted us to use tabs), but I worked closely with my partner to develop banners that would deliver all that information in a compelling, engaging way.
The ask: Brainstorm tactics for Firestone to engage fans at INDYCAR events.
Why you're looking at this: My partner and I were brought into a new business pitch at the last minute to blow out some engagement tactics to round out their pitch campaign. Not only did we come up with some killer, innovative ideas, but they were so good (and well written) that we were asked to improve on the ideas our New York office sent over.
Addy Award Winner
The ask: When AT&T moved their headquarters from San Antonio to Dallas, a few of their agencies got together to wine and dine with the clients at a Spurs/Mavericks game. Our agency was in charge of the invitations.
Why you're looking at this: It all started when I came up with the line "Let's bury the hatchet." And this gem was born. Yes, that's a REAL hatchet we sent to our clients with an invitation to put the basketball rivalry behind them and enjoy a night of camaraderie at the game. Clients also received an animated GIF save the date email with a bit of friendly trash talk. I guess some rivalries will just never fade.
Art direction by Shannon Hawk.
The ask: The client had tons of mandatories on this one: Show all of the features of U-verse. Include "demo," "explore" and "shop" links. Promote the two offers available at the time. Explain the benefits of each package level. And do it all with a holiday feel.
Why you're looking at this: We had a lot of information to get into a very small space, so I worked incredibly closely with the art director to figure out a way to present all of the information on one page in a clean, innovative way.
Art direction by Jessica Stehlin.

Implementation of ICDS in Bihar and Jharkhand
BibtexEndnoteRISGoogle ScholarPrintEmail
The ineffective utilisation of available finances sanctioned by the central government to the states results in the denial of the ICDS scheme to vast numbers of children, women and adolescent girls. This article exposes the apathy of the state governments of Bihar and Jharkhand towards this scheme, particularly in terms of coverage, financial procedures and practices adopted in the appointment of personnel.

Material: VINTAGE SMOOTH
Product Code: 16058601
Part of the Archive Collection
Created by looking into Dr. Martens archive for design inspiration, this style has been replicated to look as it was when first manufactured. The specification on leather, color and method of manufacture is precise. A more traditional biscuit-backed leather has been used, color-matched to archive samples that came out of the factory in the earlier days of Dr. Martens. The last shape is shallower and the sole color has also been altered to match the older shade. Laces are flat and cotton, exact copies of the original versions found.
- 8-Eye Unisex Capper Boot
- Suitable for either gender- offered in a size range to include both Men's and Women's sizes
- Oxblood Vintage Smooth leather- a retro version of our signature smooth leather with subtle grained effect and contrast base color
- Heel loop
- This is a Goodyear-welted product. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together, not merely glued like many footwear constructions.
- Dr. Martens air-cushion sole, oil and fat-resistant, good abrasion and slip resistance
Made In: Thailand
This is a Goodyear-welted product using PVC for the welt. The upper and sole are sewn together, not merely glued, like many footwear constructions. This, together with our Z welt-stitch and heat-sealing process, makes it unique to Dr. Martens. This is the only construction that is stitched on the outside and helps footwear take the shape to the foot. The welt is chain stitched to the upper and insole. The outsole is then sewn to the welt around the edge and then heat sealed. This is the sturdiest and most complex of all constructions.
MaterialVintage Smooth is a retro version of our signature smooth leather with subtle grained effect and contrast base colour.
Care InstructionsClean Away dirt using a damp cloth, allow to dry apply a clear wax based shoe polish to restore shine as desired. In the event of heavy scuffing or loss of colour then clean as before but add a matching coloured wax based shoe polish and buff up the leather with brush and cloth as required.

GRE Prep Course Reviews
The Reviews.com research team produced a list of 22 GRE prep course companies and chose the 7 top companies to review based on 34 of the most important features.
The Reviews.com research team produced a list of 22 GRE prep course companies and chose the 7 top companies to review based on 34 of the most important features.
GRE Course Delivery covers the different methods used by GRE test prep providers to deliver instruction and course content to students. The category includes traditional classroom teaching, live teaching delivered online, and prerecorded teaching delivered online or by DVD. The GRE Course Delivery category ranks among the most important for many students. It is of critical importance to students who desire a specific delivery method due to home location, scheduling, or a basic learning preference.
GRE Practice refers to the materials containing sample exam questions given to GRE prep test students. The most important component of this category is the full-length practice test. Full-length practice tests enable students to experience a nearly four-hour test under strictly timed conditions. Quiz banks are another key element of the GRE Practice category. Quiz banks enable students to focus on specific types of questions in isolation, getting the focused training they need to master each part of the GRE test. GRE Practice is a very important part of choosing a GRE test prep company since it is so essential to basic skills development and provides a way for students to build confidence in their abilities.
GRE Custom Instruction includes learning options that GRE courses offer to students who are looking for specialized help. GRE tutoring is the primary component of this category. GRE tutoring includes both in-person and online options, and usually provides a focused, one-on-one learning experience. Although many students in GRE prep courses get sufficient help in a standard course, some students benefit enormously from the personalized attention that one-on-one tutoring offers. Online tutoring options are especially important to students who don't live near an in-person tutoring service. The GRE Custom Instruction category also includes refresher courses, which are designed for students who have already completed a standard course.
Learning Materials refers to the study tools and learning exercises GRE courses give students to aid them in studying GRE concepts, vocabulary, and strategy. The Learning Materials category includes flash cards, workbooks, study guides, interactive games, and online quizzing tools. Students who are looking for all-in-one GRE prep courses usually place a lot of importance on the Learning Materials category. However, since these kinds of items are readily available from third-party publishers, other categories often take precedence in the search for the best all-around course.
Student Support covers the various ways in which GRE prep courses provide students with the individual help they need to achieve their full potential on the GRE test. Student Support includes email and telephone communication between students and GRE instructors or tutors. Student Support also includes special programs that guarantee student satisfaction by granting the ability to retake a course if a student is unhappy with their test performance after the first course attempt. While some students complete a full GRE course without once making use of Student Support resources, it's important to have the option available in the event that it is needed.
Admissions Prep centers around the extra services that GRE prep courses offer to help students prepare for the graduate admissions process. Common services in this category include application preparation assistance, informational seminars, and interview coaching services. Some students find a lot of benefit in these services. However, since they are strictly supplementary, few students rank the Admissions Prep category above categories that focus specifically on test preparation.
All the top GRE prep course companies offer a variety of high-quality training options to meet many different student needs. However, some companies separate themselves from the competition in key areas. These lists help quickly identify the standout performers in several important categories.

October 25th, 2008 | people I know
This footage was recorded 10/23/08 in Oakland, CA, on a public street corner near Lake Merritt. I was on my way home from the Lakeshore district when I encountered this group of supporters of Prop 8 (proposition to ban gay marriage). After turning my vidphone on, I was screamed at, physically intimidated and eventually attacked by one of the sign-wavers.

While there is no conclusive evidence that fasted cardio is the best method for maximizing fat loss there is quite a bit of scientific literature that supports the theory that performing cardio exercise prior to breakfast will yield a higher rate of fat oxidation. But is performing cardio in a fasted state the best method for exercise induced weight control?
A substantial portion of energy production during prolonged light or moderate exercise comes from fat oxidation (Gollnick 1985; Romijn et al. 1993). The increased use of lipid fuel induced by such exercise is largely the result of increased fat mobilization from lipid stores and results in an increased extraction of fatty acids from the blood by working muscles (Groop et al.1991).
Fat is also the main oxidative substrate in energy balanced individuals after an overnight fast. However, after a carbohydrate-rich meal (Acheson et al. 1984) glucose becomes the principal oxidative substrate. And there is an increasing body of evidence demonstrating that fat oxidation is inhibited during exercise following carbohydrate ingestion.
Research has shown that total fat oxidized in a fasting condition is 23% greater than under pre-fed conditions. An individual will oxidize significantly more fat during exercise when the exercise is performed prior to either a low or high glycemic index meal. Further, the total amount of fat oxidized during exercise AND the 2 hours post training is also significantly greater in the fasted state.[i]
Based on the literature, it would appear that individuals wishing to maximize their efforts for exercise-induced weight control could benefit from cardio exercise if it is performed soon after waking in the morning, before breakfast.
However, one could argue that benefits of performing cardio in a pre-fed condition are insignificant and may be negated by the catabolic effects of exercise in a fasted state.
Performing cardio in a fasted state has been shown to have a catabolic effect on muscle. Studies show that training in a glycogen-depleted state substantially increases the amount of tissue proteins burned for energy during exercise[ii]. Protein losses may exceed 10 percent of the total calories burned over the course of a one-hour cardio session –which is more than double that of training in a pre-fed state[iii]. Since lean muscle mass is the major determinant of metabolism, contributing anywhere from 60% to 80% of BMR (Muller et al., 2009), sacrificing lean tissue would be detrimental to overall BMR and total caloric expenditure.
Additionally, the benefits of fasted cardio may not be as significant as they first appear in the literature. In a 1999 study, trained subjects who exercised at 50 percent of their max heart rate, demonstrated no difference in the amount of fat oxidized–regardless of whether the subjects had eaten. Only after 90 minutes of exercise did fasted subjects begin to yield a favorable result in the amount of fat oxidation. What this means is you would need to exercise for a minimum of 90 minutes to provide an additional fat-burning benefit. [iv]
Based on the evidence, it appears to be true that performing cardio exercise in a fasted state does result in higher rates of fat oxidation. However, in order to improve body composition, spare lean tissue, and maximize total daily caloric expenditure, performing exercise after a meal may be more beneficial.

|Hi, I also have a problem with a Nexxt 500 that I would really appreciate some feedback on.
I just received my machine - previously used without problem for 8 months - after 1.5 years in storage and an international move (involving bumps - there is a hairline crack across the top of the cabinet). No Bosch technicians here, aaargh!
There is now a problem with the cold water running constantly, either leading to intermittent draining when the machine is turned on and the water reaches a certain level (at which point pump switches on), or to door bursting open and flooding floor when the machine is turned off. This problem seems to occur on most cycles, though I am a bit confused as yesterday I ran the Permanent Press and Regular/Cotton cycles both on cold and they worked fine. Right now I put the Regular/Cotton on hot (right after a canceling a wonky XXtra Sanitary cycle) and the problem reoccurred.
From my Googling, it seems like this is a defective valve - perhaps one that closes very slowly. Maybe on those two cycles I mentioned there was no problem because the valve had finally closed, and/or because of the water temperature. Except that on the latter, each cycle seems to start with a very very short burst of hot water and then the rest cold - is that normal with this machine?. How do I know if the water is heating properly?
I would appreciate it so much if the tecchy forum members could confirm and advise. If it is a defective valve, how do I get at it to look? Will it definitely need replacing, or could it just need cleaning or something? Should any service technician be able to confirm the problem, or would only a Bosch technician be able to?
REALLY appreciate any help! Of course, like everyone else I would love to have a copy of the service manual that was mentioned in previous Nexxt posts given that there is no Bosch service where I live....
Thanks so much!
Follow-Up Postings:
| Did you drain the unit totally before putting it in storage?
What was the coldest temp the 500 was exposed to while in storage?
Sometimes water freezing inside internal hoses can cause problems from expansion during freezing.

LTAC ? Good or Bad? - page 2
I am a new grad and was offered a job in LTAC for $30/Hr with a 6:1 nurse pt ratio (no vents-they are in our ICU). As a new grad I am having a hard time finding a job and it's this or LTC ... Do hospitals frown on this sort of... Read More
- 4Aug 14, '10 by davesLTACs, like any other hospital or hospital type, vary greatly from town to town. Your patient ratio is probably going to be twice that of an average ICU, but less than on Tele. And thats about right - its sort of a cross between the two. What saves you is the one "easy" patient that you hope to have.
Patients tend to be there a long time; weeks certainly. Many come on a pre-approved 30-day insurance authorization. That means every one gets pretty familiar with them sooner than later. As I made assignments daily, it became a matter of matching total acuity with nurse capabilities.
Covering LPNs is certainly a consideration. For one thing, some LPNs can act practically independant, almost as an RN. Other LPNs - not so much. As far as new nurses on a busy and high acuity LTAC, the most hopeful thing I would point out is you would get a lot of experience a whole lot sooner than on MedSurg.
And like any other first job in this biz, the most important thing is to learn how to prioritize, make fast assesssments, and ask smart questions (before you get into trouble).
- 6Aug 15, '10 by grandmawrinkleI'm an ICU nurse. I've never worked in a LTACH but my two cents is this:
The patients we send to LTACHs are the ones we can't get better in a finite amount of time and we need to get them out of our ICU to free up beds. These patients are too sick for the ward or even the stepdown -- most of the ones we send won't wean from the ventilator, and we don't have progressive care or vent weaning beds at my facility. They are also otherwise medically complex with other issues to monitor/treat.
I personally think that this would be excellent experience for a new grad that wants to get into an acute care hospital eventually -- really, it's the next best thing. I think most of your patients will be higher acuity than med/surg patients in the hospital, actually. You'll be getting patients that are somewhere between the ICU and the regular floor as far as level of care required. I think from there, you'd walk right into a med/surg floor and think it was easy, and if you'll be trained into vents, it would be a fairly easy transition into a hospital ICU as well.
I think this is a good move for you, and would take it. You are going to be tired and overworked, but hopefully it will pay off with a hospital position for you after a period of time. Good luck!
- 0Aug 15, '10 by Flying ICU RNPosts #10 and #12 are particularly valuable in the advice given, I concur.
As for rate of progression beyond initial hire to say,... ICU, my first year of Nursing was in fact LTC not LTAC. My professional background prior to Nursing piqued management's interest, and the interview sealed it. That was 17 years ago.
Your career progression as a Nurse (in my opinion) is entirely in your own hands. The current downturn is not sustainable.
- 1Aug 16, '10 by davesForgot to repoint out the most important parts that I intimated in another post: Make nice with your Resp Techs and CNAs. Not only do they know more about their fields then you ever will, they will sooner than later Save Your Ass; reference keeping small fires small before they blow up in your face.

A Sought-After Gaffer
Before he became a champion breeder, Nestor Espinel of Bacolod City was and continues to be a sought-after gaffer in local and national derbies. And despite his busy schedule as a breeder, he manages to go to the pit and provide gaffing services to his loyal clientele.
Nestor started gaffing in the 80s. Although he was already growing fighting cocks at his dorm in the Riverside Hospital, he was not yet a commercial breeder then. He relates that his gaffing but also trial and error, but he persisted on studying what works, after all he likes doing it. His persistence paid off and he became one of the best gaffers in the country.
The stag derby season is Nestor's busiest. He installs knives to an average of 30 entries per event. Multiply this number to the number of stag derbies and the number of birds per entry and he ends up gaffing hundreds of fighting birds in one derby alone.
Nestor has many breeder-clients from all over the country, but he recalls some of his most memorable championships in the fights of Negros breeders, Elwin Javelosa and Joe Laureño. He also is very grateful that he was able to take part in the three-peat championship of Eddie Boy Ledesma in the NGBA stag derbies several years ago.
Being a gaffer is not all glamour and victory. Nestor has had his share of controversy and putting his life in danger just because the entry that he served was well on its way to the championship. He recalls that in one derby in Luzon several years ago, he was offered money by the contender of his client's to sabotage the fight. It was the last fight and while he was limbering the bird, some men approached him, gave him money, and threatened him if he will not do as they say.
But because of his principles, Nestor did not accept the bribe and instead reported the matter to his boss then. His client praised him that he did not sell his integrity and told him to just do his best and after his work is done, he should just go outside where a car is waiting for him. So after he released the bird on the pit for the last game, Nestor left the rueda and went on his way. He learned later that the entry won and his client became champion. He just had to go into hiding after that because he was hunted down for a while.
Nestor Espinel considers these instances as the hazards of the trade but he stood his ground and preserved his reputation. That is why he continues to be effective and in demand for his services as a gaffer.

Posted by Dale Buss on January 3, 2013 05:12 PM
Toyota's report of a 27-percent gain in U.S. sales in 2012 is the latest welcome sign of recovery and revival by a company that has been tortured — by itself, by economic forces and even by Mother Nature — for the last four years. Management led by CEO Akio Toyoda has been clearing the decks for what promises to be Toyota's best year in several.
"With sales nearly doubling the [percentage] increase of a healthy industry" overall in the U.S. last year, Toyota "had a breakout year," said Jim Lentz, president and CEO of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., in a press release. "As we move into 2013 and the market sees continued growth, we expect to outperform the industry once again with another nine product launches on the horizon."
What's more, Toyota in 2012 reclaimed its title as the world's largest automaker, selling 9.7 million vehicles globally and leapfrogging GM and Volkswagen to get back on top.
It's not just a new-product avalanche and sales trends that have Toyota rejuvenated. There's also the matter of the $1-billion plus settlement between Toyota and class-action litigants over its unintended-acceleration recalls a couple of years ago. Toyota didn't admit culpability, but its executives figured putting the matter behind the company at this point was the best course, expensive as it was to do.
Toyota also has recovered more quickly from the supply-chain ravages of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami than many had predicted. After suffering badly through 2011, last year Toyota regained its bearings with ample inventories for its dealers worldwide, who delivered the vehicles to customers who had remained patient, and at the same time launched some important new nameplates such as extensions of the Prius hybrid family.
It's also boosted by the Japanese government's newly expressed determination to allow the value of the yen to decline, which will make Toyota's Japanese-made vehicles more cost-competitive.
"Toyota is now in the position — for the first time in years — where it is beating market expectations while its peers are disappointing," Clive Wiggins, a Tokyo-based autos analyst for Macquarie, wrote recently, according to the New York Times. "We expect earnings to continue beating expectations over the next three years."
The company's other brands also are on the move. Scion, Toyota's "youth" brand, continues targeting older millennials because so many recent college graduates just don't have the financial wherewithal to buy new cars. Meanwhile, Lexus hopes to regain the annual luxury-segment sales crown for 2013 in its most important market, the United States, after two straight years in which tight supplies stemming from the 2011 natural disaster forced Lexus to yield the title to German rivals.
Now, Toyoda is more free than in a long while to pursue one of his goals for the company, which is to make truly exciting automobiles — not just reliable ones. With the company now solidly back on the road to prosperity, the sometime race-car driver will have a little more fun in the driver's seat.

Humility: A quality mastered by few, though claimed by many.
It is in that period of life when a person begins to develop their first perspective of the world, and how they fit into its giant, complex systems, that they encounter a sort of identity crisis. I do not mean the typical identity crises where the individual is lost as to who they really are and what their true essence represents. I suggest another shade of uncertainty: a crisis regarding how they confront the contradictions and discrepancies regarding their self-worth. As individuals we look at how we viewed our self-worth in the past in comparison to how society values our worth now as well as how much importance we should ideally place on ourselves as per Divine guidance. This confusing conundrum befuddles us all and therefore we tend to neglect finding answers, opting instead to let others dictate how we perceive our self-worth. Very often, we swing from one extreme to another, in constant reaction to internal and external turmoil. Few realize that at the core of this identity crisis lies humility, a concept which the Divine has instructed and provided guidance for – a guidance that can help calm our tumultuous lives and bring an understanding of who and how important we really are.
If we accept the meaning of humility in its most technical sense, which is to behave and believe that we are not superior to others, we will be presented with a few immediate complications. We can question whether this sense of humility is a reflection of sincere emotions and values: one may have genuine motives such as admiration or shame, but there may exist ulterior motives such as self-gratification, political or social maneuvering, as well as hypocrisy. Also one can be humble in front of some yet arrogant in front of others; will this broken humbleness really count as humility? The most important question is if humility is relative to circumstances and social standards, or is it a fixed measure of character? If a multi-billionaire has pride in his wealth but humbles himself before more powerful individuals such as Bill Gates, will society accept him as a humble person? Questions like these complicate the essence of humility and thus many altogether discard the importance of being humble. Instead passive standpoints are encouraged such as "don't let your arrogance bubble out, unless someone personally attacks you." With this compromise we see another problem: can humility really be conditional? (i.e "if you show me humility, then I will show you humility") This leads to the next question: in a secular society which believes each person to be their own god, how far does one have to go to be truly humble, without losing dignity? Are dignity and humility diametrically opposed, or can they exist simultaneously at the highest levels?
Guidance from Islam on the other hand, completely revolutionizes the concept of humility. Firstly, Allah commands man to be humble, thus establishing its importance as opposed to simply being an optional quality. Secondly, Allah inextricably ties a human's worth to Divine Creation as in the Qur'an it reads man was created "in the best of stature" (95:4). If people are living a life in accordance to Divine principles, Allah raises their status: "Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you."(Qur'an, 49:13). And we are reminded that if we stray away from Guidance, we become "the lowest of the low" (Qur'an, 95:5). This radically transforms the accepted standards upon which we are judged and judge one another.
Muslims believe that ultimate judgment comes only from Allah Himself. This gives Muslims boundless relief and freedom – for as long as they are following Allah's injunctions with wisdom and sincerity, they know not to fear the opinions of others. Thus if society regards a believer as the 'lowest of the low,' they remain unperturbed because they believe Allah's Judgment to be the Highest. This prevents us from becoming arrogant because we have absolutely no proof of our own success. Even if a person appears to be on the path of success outwardly, their internal condition may differ. And though one may know his or her internal state of humility, it cannot guarantee remaining steadfast in the future. Even if a person does remain steadfast in humility, they know the Final Judgment is still entirely up to Allah Himself, Who is Free to do what He wills. Thus, this uncertainty of how we will be judged deprives us from arrogance; it keeps us in a constant state of yearning for Allah's mercy and forgiveness.
Lastly, recognizing Allah's ultimate authority helps Muslims refrain from passing judgments on others as they realize that their own judgment is completely useless. We can never assume superiority to another even in the face of blatant external signs of hypocrisy or arrogance. All we can do is provide advice for both internal and external reform, for nobody knows what lies in our futures. However, Muslims are instructed to show contempt for pure evil and to stand tall against tyranny. If a person is meek before evil and stands down, then their humbleness (or fear) will only feed the arrogance and allow that evil to grow stronger.
Just as there is virtue in being humble, there is evil in being arrogant, for it challenges the foundation of the Islamic worldview that is based on equity and equality. Hence the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: "No one who has an atom's weight of pride in his heart will enter the Garden." (Muslim) Anyone who is cognizant of his own vulnerable position in the universal scheme of things will find it difficult to become arrogant. However, this does not guarantee complete immunity. Human beings as part of their very nature are susceptible to societal pressures. If society praises us, our humility is threatened as we may attribute ourselves with a newfound greatness – which may delude us into believing in our own superiority and the higher probability of a successful future, because we are 'better.' Once a person believes in a greater likelihood of future success, they begin to worry less about it, something which can have devastating consequences. The more jealously we pursue our goals, the greater chance we have of achieving them. Arrogance numbs our concern and desensitizes us to all the shortcomings we may have, thus leading the way to disaster.
To shield ourselves from such pride, we are instructed to abstain from ostentation and all needless displays of our accomplishments. We have to be extremely careful about exposing our good attributes although we should mention our achievements if it promotes more good among others. Feeling internally happy at one's accomplishments on the other hand, is also permitted within certain bounds: so long as it does not lead to excessive self-amazement, arrogance, or forgetfulness of who allowed the success. In fact, we should recognize Allah's blessings upon us, as this allows us to show gratitude to Allah, and pray that we successfully utilize them for even greater good.
Another commonly misunderstood concept is the relationship between dignity and humility, as some may confuse dignity with arrogance and humility with a lack of dignity. Only by looking at the examples of our great elders can we understand the subtle differences between them. Thus we find Umar (ra) admonishing a person walking with exaggerated meekness. Yet he had no problem wearing patched-up clothes and letting his slave ride the camel as they entered Jerusalem, even as the city's Christian leaders awaited him. In essence, our elders succeeded in maintaining both dignity and humility at the highest levels. The two qualities were certainly not mutually exclusive, because dignity lies in giving honor to the soul created by Allah, while humility lies in downplaying one's own actions and accomplishments. The litmus test for this unique state of awareness is the fact that they were never above admitting their mistakes and never belittled others.
There is also no concept of self-confidence in Islam, for all power descends exclusively from Allah. If a man believes he creates success alone, he is deluded, his actions worthless; but if he believes in Allah's power, he is empowered, his actions weighty. Humility therefore becomes a matter of faith in Allah; the more faith one has in Allah's protection, the more powerful he feels – and the more humbled he is by this awesome power. The Prophet ﷺ himself was the greatest creation in the history of creation, yet the most humble of them all. This 'higher' thinking can explain how the Prophet's ﷺ Companions felt absolutely no fear in challenging the powerful Roman and Persian empires, even as they humbled themselves by expressing reluctance at being assigned leadership roles within the Islamic state. Thus, despairing emotions are naturally foreign to a soul wholly immersed in love for the Divine.
A saying by the Sufi master Ibn Ata'ullah captures this sentiment eloquently: "One of the signs of relying on one's own deeds is the loss of hope when a downfall occurs." Once a believer submits himself entirely to the Divine will, he will never feel a loss of confidence, or degradation for his Source of Confidence will never disappear: "…Truly no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith" (Qur'an, 12:87). And once one realizes he draws all his strength from Allah, Who can retract it at any time, his self-pride will automatically vanish: "Say, 'O Allah , Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.'" (Qur'an, 3:26).
Humility is an extremely difficult quality to acquire and master, and like the battle to acquire sincerity, it remains a dynamic struggle throughout our lives. Much of it stems from its ironic nature: how on one hand humility demands one to desist from self-amazement and lower oneself, but it only truly manifests itself in the most amazing people. Similarly humility destroys all superiority complexes, but only truly superior people can manage to accomplish that. Ultimately, only firm believers in Allah are powerfully proficient at remaining humble.

As salamu alaykum,
Thank you very much for your article, just one question, when I read:"extremely difficult", "battle"…, why did you choose these words? Do you feel it this way? You have worked hard in this post, and you close it with those words, Would you mind to explain me why?
All my respect,
Wa'alaykum as-salaam wa rahmathullahi wa barakatuhu.
a good question indeed, but the answer to that is by virtue of experience. It requires sincere faith, trust in Allah alone – obeying his commandments completely, to come to such a level of emaan to truly feel the essence of the beauty that comes in being as humble as possible as portrayed by our prophet Muhammad (salAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam)
Its not difficult, it is hard work, and when shaytan is always there to distract you, it is indeed difficult, but the stronger your faith is and the repeated times you turn in repentance to Allah for erring, the stronger you get and higher your emaan gros, more firm trust you put in Allah, InshaAllah Allah would make it easy for us.
That is when its easy, the path requires patience and perseverance, sustenance after that is the key by obeying Allah. hope this helps
Sure, I got that from all the article, but these words that you have added now brings sweetness to the whole message, ….hard work, repentance, faith, patience and perseverance,….and, of course, Hope.
Thank you very much.
All my respect,
Walaykum assalam,
Jazakallah khair for your reflective question. I chose those words because I believe that "battle" adds a graphic twinge to our lifelong quest of perfection and purification – because frankly, this is our soul and our eternal future which is at stake.
I also wanted to protect us from underestimating the concept of humility, and the fact many people casually attempt to be humble while not fully digesting what humility entails.
Hope that helps!
– Sohaib
Thank you very much, I appreciate your answer.
You made very clear through all the post the differences between humbleness and humility, and I understand now your choice. What went directly to my heart was your reflection about the people that are examples of humility for us, it is right now a hard job for me to put myself in their shoes,I am not even humble many times, I hope one day the shoes of Humility fits all of us, insha´Allah.
For sure helps.
Jazak Allahu Khairan.
السلام عليكم, True indeed, but arises in me a question in need of answering, i am not knowledgeable in Islam in a holistic manner but i have read a book for عبدالرحمن عبد الخالق, which i didn't complete yet, and i found amazing quotes from Sufi books which totally contradict with the sound creed, this book is called; الفكر الصوفي في ضوء الكتاب والسنة, So my question is, Is it permissible to name out this deviant sect without pointing out their danger, because i used to love them before i found out the mutilation of عقيدة that they teach as a foundation to their belief in Allah the exalted and high from all what they falsely ascribe to him. Please answer because i feel a little bit befuddled and May Allah the most high and glorified reward you for this piece which i loved
Assalamu Alaikum,
Jazak Allah Khair for breaking this down so beautifully and eloquently. How central is it to our everyday lives and how often do we forget! May Allah enable us to really benefit from your reminder.
Just to clarify, Sufism is not a deviant sect. You can even ask Imam Suhaib Webb, who mentioned he is a "Sufi of the 21st century" in one of his recent talks.
Jazakallah khayr for this article.
Dear Br.Sohaib,
May Allah reward you for sharing such profound thoughts. What an incredible goal it is for a human to attain the qualities you've talked about. May Allah grant them to us.
Wassalam aleikum
Ma'sha'allah, this was beautiful article and a great reminder for all of us. Indeed, it is a life-long battle to fight our inner weaknesses or the test's Allah (swt) gives us through our worldly successes. So many individuals, even those of Faith, say "I did this . ." or "I did that . ." when in fact, it was truly Allah's (swt) Mercy and Bounty that something came to fruition.
One aspect I can share of being successful and realizing Allah's role in it is as a student. I know that when/if I pass an exam, though I may have put the work into it, that I realize that it would not have been possible without Allah's Mercy – I've seen this several times in my life; it almost seemed I was in an impossibly difficult situation, where I knew that my efforts alone were not going to be enough, yet knowing that ultimately it was Allah's Decision, I always kept hope in my heart no matter how bad things looked. I pray that I will be able to keep these experiences in mind in my future years to serve as a reminder in keeping myself grounded and that Allah will Guide all of us to remember Who is at the controls, so that we can work to be humble throughout our worldly lives. Ameen.
A quality mastered by few, though claimed by many.. like that
Jzkalllah khair for your article
How do you balance humility with dignity?. When people are arrogant towards you should you reply by defending your dignity? Allah has created us with an inherent dignity and no one has the right to attack it unjustly.
How to you have self esteem without appearing arrogant. The norm in society (work & home life) now is that you have to have an air of authority otherwise people will take advantage.
It is indeed a difficult balance, any advice?

The Recent 'Report' on the Washington Post about the OLF Has Nothing to Do with the OLF
The article by Emily Wax, The Washington Post reporter, under the title "As separatists in Ethiopia disarm, a new chapter for D.C.'s Oromo community," alleging laying down of arms and succumbing to the imposed unity of Ethiopia is inaccurate. Many Oromo nationals, who got the chance to read that article have been airing their disapproval of the said report in every possible term.
The erroneous nature of the report emanates, not only from the misrepresentation of the OLF goal and objective, but also from the list of the people who appear in the report who are not currently in the membership list of the organization. It would not be that hard for a genuine report to be prepared about the OLF since the organization's office is listed in the Washington DC telephone directory with the right numbers and address, and the names of the officers thereof could be obtained from the Department of Justice. We regret that the reporter, probably misled by our opponents, opted to misrepresent our organization in such an embarrassing manner. We are also surprised that, despite our repeated request, the reporter failed to correct this violation of journalistic ethics. This one-sided report in The Washington Post, based on the distortion of the legitimate struggle of the Oromo people by a negligible splinter group, has infuriated not only our members, but also the Oromo people at large.
Contrary to the inaccurate report in The Washington Post, the OLF wants to make it clear to our members, supporters, the Oromo people at large, our friends and the international community that we have never revised our programme, which is the realization of the right of the Oromo people to independence, nor did we renounce the right to resort to armed struggle as long as the conditions that initially forced us to pick up the arms persists.
Our people identify very well those opportunists who, for the sake of their personal benefits, ally with our strategic adversaries and campaign against the national interest. Their effort to compensate for the total rejection they faced from the Oromo people by resorting to foreign media to be heard reveals the level of their desperation. It is a recent memory of the Oromo people that they have previously resorted to such tactics when they used the Oromo Liberation Army in the Southern Oromia Zone to appear on a foreign media, but later facilitated its surrender to the enemy. Again the imperial Ethiopianist forces with few renegades, who defected to them, are trying to use their connection in Washington DC to misuse The Washington Post to undermine the genuine OLF and declare the presence of this caricature despite the rejection by the Oromo people.
It has to be clear that under no circumstance will the desperate effort of all shades of the enemy of the Oromo people will push the struggle to falter. Time will come when The Washington Post will review such a damaging report on the legitimate struggle of the Oromo people.
Victory to the Oromo People!
