Jihad as warfare
The Qur'an asserts that if the use of force would not have been allowed in curbing the evils by nations, the disruption and disorder caused by insurgent nations could have reached the extent that the places of worship would have become deserted and forsaken. As it states:
|And had it not been that Allah checks one set of people with another, the monasteries and churches, the synagogues and the mosques, in which His praise is abundantly celebrated would have been utterly destroyed.
Javed Ahmed Ghamidi divides just warfare into two types:
- Against injustice and oppression
- Against the rejecters of truth after it has become evident to them
The first type of Jihad is generally considered eternal, but Ghamidi holds that the second is specific to people who were selected by God for delivering the truth as an obligation. They are called witnesses of the truth (Arabic:شهادة, see also Itmam al-hujjah); the implication being that they bear witness to the truth before other people in such a complete and ultimate manner that no one is left with an excuse to deny the truth.[1] There is a dispute among Islamic jurists as to whether the act of being "witness" was only for the Companions of Muhammad or whether this responsibility is still being held by modern Muslims, which may entitle them to take actions to subdue other Non-Muslim nations. Proponents of Companions of Muhammad as being "the witness" translate the following verse only for the Companions[1] while others translate it for the whole Muslim nation.[2] As in Qur'an:
|And similarly [O Companions of the Prophet!] We have made you an intermediate group[3] so that you be witnesses [to this religion] before the nations, and the Messenger be such a witness before you.
Similarly, proponents of Companions of Muhammad as being "the witness" present following verse to argue that the Companions were chosen people as witnesses just as God chooses Messengers from mankind. As in Qur'an:[1]
He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the religion of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this [Qur'an]: [He chose you so that] the Messenger may be a witness [of this religion] to you, and you be witnesses of this religion to non-Muslims [of your times].
Following is the first verse of the Qur'an in which the Companions of Muhammad, who had migrated from Mecca, were given permission to fight back if they were attacked:[1]
Permission to take up arms is hereby given to those who are attacked because they have been oppressed – Allah indeed has power to grant them victory – those who have been unjustly driven from their homes, only because they said: "Our Lord is Allah".
The reason for this directive in Medina instead of Mecca considered by most Muslim scholars is that without political authority armed offensives become tantamount to spreading disorder and anarchy in the society. As one of Islamic jurist writes:
Among Kafayah obligations, the third category is that for which the existence of a ruler is necessary e.g., Jihad and execution of punishments. Therefore, only a ruler has this prerogative. Because, indeed, no one else has the right to punish another person.—Sayyid Sabiq , Fiqhu'l-Sunnah, 2nd ed., vol. 3, (Beirut: Daru'l-Fikr, 1980), p. 30
Directive of warfare
The directive of the Jihad given to Muslims in Qur'an is:[1]
These verses told Muslims that they should not merely fight the Banu Quraish if they resist them in offering Hajj, but the Qur'an goes on to say that they should continue to fight them until persecution is uprooted and Islam prevails in the whole of Arabia. Initially Muslims were required to fulfill this responsibility even if the enemy was 10 times stronger. Afterwards, the Qur'an reduced the burden of this responsibility.[1] As in Qur'an:
Prophet! Rouse the believers to wage war. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will subdue two hundred: if a hundred, they will subdue a thousand of the disbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
[From] now, God has lightened your [task] for He knows that there is now weakness amongst you: But [ever so], if there are a hundred of you, patient and persevering, they will subdue two hundred, and if a thousand, they will subdue two thousand, with the leave of God: for God is with those who patiently persevere.
Some interpret above verses that Jihad never becomes obligatory unless the military might of the Muslims is up to a certain level. In the times of Muhammad, when large scale conversions took place in the later phase, the Qur'an reduced the Muslim to enemy ratio to 1:2. It seems that Muslims should not only consolidate their moral character, but it is also imperative for them to build their military might if they want to wage Jihad when the need arises. The Qur'an gave a similar directive to Muslims of Muhammad times in the following words:[1]
Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your disposal so that you can strike terror into the enemies of Allah and of the believers and others beside them who may be unknown to you, though Allah knows them. And remember whatever you spend for the cause of Allah shall be repaid to you. You shall not be wronged.
While other scholars consider the later command of ratio 1:2 only for a particular time.[4]
A policy was adopted regarding the extent of requirement that arose in wars that the Muslims had to fight. In the battles of Badr, Uhud and Tabuk, the responsibility was much more and each Muslim was required to present his services as a combatant.[1] As in Qur'an:
Not equal are those of the believers who sit [at home] without any [genuine] excuse and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has given preference by a degree to those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit [at home]. [In reality], for each, Allah has made a good promise and [in reality] Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit [at home] by a huge reward. Degrees of [higher] grades from Him and forgiveness and mercy. And Allah is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Qur'an also states that turning backs in the battle field, except for tactical purposes, is a big sin and will bring wrath of God.[5] As in Qur'an:
O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. And whoever shall turn his back to them on that day-- unless he turn aside for the sake of fighting or withdraws to a company-- then he, indeed, becomes deserving of Allah's wrath, and his abode is hell; and an evil destination shall it be.
The driving force
Islamic scholars agree that Jihad should not be undertaken to gratify one's whims nor to obtain wealth and riches. Many also consider that it must also not be undertaken to conquer territories and rule them or to acquire fame or to appease the emotions of communal support, partisanship and animosity. On the contrary, it should be undertaken only and only for the cause of Allah as is evident from the words.[1] As in Qur'an:
Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan. So fight you against the friends of Satan. Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan.
Prophet Muhammad, at various instances, also explained very forcefully this purport of the Qur'an:
- Abu Musa Ash'ari (rta) narrates that once a person came to the Prophet (sws) and said that some people fight for the spoils of war, some for fame and some to show off their valor; he then asked the Prophet (sws): "Which one of them fights in the way of Allah". The Prophet (sws) replied: "Only that person fights in the way of Allah who sets foot in the battlefield to raise high the name of Allah". Sahih Bukhari 2810
- Abu Hurayrah (rta) narrates from the Prophet (sws): "I swear by the Almighty that a person who is wounded in the way of Allah – and Allah knows full well who is actually wounded in His way – he would be raised on the Day of Judgement such that his colour be the colour of blood with the fragrance of musk around him". Sahih Bukhari 2803
- Ibn Jabr narrates from the Prophet (sws): "A person whose feet become dust ridden because of [striving] in the way of Allah will never be touched by the flames of Hell". Sahih Bukhari 2811
- Sahal Ibn Sa'ad says that the Prophet (sws) once said: "To reside in a border area for a day to protect [people] against an enemy [invasion] is better than this world and everything it has". Sahih Bukhari 2892.
Similarly as a reward for participation in such a strive, the Qur'an states:
Consider not those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they will be provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind [not yet martyred] that on them too no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers..
Ethical limits
Islamic Law, based upon the Quran and practices of Muhammad has set down a set of laws to be observed during the lesser Jihad.
Qur'an forbids fighting in sacred month and similarly within the boundaries of Haram. But if non-Muslims disregard these sanctities, Muslims are asked to retaliate in equal measure.[6] It is stated in Qur'an:
A sacred month for a sacred month; [similarly] other sacred things too are subject to retaliation. So if any one transgresses against you, you should also pay back in equal coins. Have fear of Allah and [keep in mind that] Allah is with those who remain within the bounds [stipulated by religion].
Observance of treaties and pacts is stressed in Qur'an. When some Muslims were still in Mecca, and they couldn't migrate to Medina, the Qur'an stated:
And to those who accepted faith but did not migrate [to Madinah], you owe no duty of protection to them until they migrate; but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance; and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
Similar reports are attributed to Muhammad:
- Abu Sa'id (rta) narrates from the Prophet (sws): "On the Day of Judgment, to proclaim the traitorship of a traitor and the betrayal of a person who betrayed his words, a flag shall be hoisted which would be as high as [the extent of his] traitorship", and [the Prophet (sws) also said]: "Remember that no traitor and betrayer of promises is greater than the one who is the leader and ruler of people". Sahih Muslim 1738
The basic principle in fighting in the Quran is that other communities should be treated as one's own. Fighting is justified for legitimate self-defense, to aid other Muslims and after a violation in the terms of a treaty, but should be stopped if these circumstances cease to exist.[7][8][9][10] The principle of forgiveness is reiterated in between the assertions of the right to self-defence.[7]
During his life, Muhammad gave various injunctions to his forces and adopted practices toward the conduct of war. The most important of these were summarized by Muhammad's companion, Abu Bakr, in the form of ten rules for the Muslim army:[11]
|Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.
These injunctions were honored by the second Caliph, Umar, during whose reign (634–644) important Muslim conquests took place.[12] These principles were also honoured during the Crusades, as exemplified by sultans such as Saladin and al-Kamil. For example, after al-Kamil defeated the Franks during the Crusades, Oliverus Scholasticus praised the Islamic laws of war, commenting on how al-Kamil supplied the defeated Frankish army with food:[13]
|"Who could doubt that such goodness, friendship and charity come from God? Men whose parents, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, had died in agony at our hands, whose lands we took, whom we drove naked from their homes, revived us with their own food when we were dying of hunger and showered us with kindness even when we were in their power."[14]
During the Battle of Siffin, the Caliph Ali stated that Islam does not permit Muslims to stop the supply of water to their enemy.[15] In addition to the Rashidun Caliphs, hadiths attributed to Muhammad himself suggest that he stated the following regarding the Muslim conquest of Egypt:[16]
|"You are going to enter Egypt a land where qirat (money unit) is used. Be extremely good to them as they have with us close ties and marriage relationships. When you enter Egypt after my death, recruit many soldiers from among the Egyptians because they are the best soldiers on earth, as they and their wives are permanently on duty until the Day of Resurrection. Be good to the Copts of Egypt; you shall take them over, but they shall be your instrument and help. Be Righteous to God about the Copts."
The early Islamic treatises on international law from the 9th century onwards covered the application of Islamic economic jurisprudence, ethics and military jurisprudence to international law,[17] and were concerned with a number of modern international law topics, including the law of treaties; the treatment of diplomats, hostages, refugees and prisoners of war; the right of asylum; conduct on the battlefield; protection of women, children and non-combatant civilians; contracts across the lines of battle; the use of poisonous weapons; and devastation of enemy territory.[13]
Objectives of warfare
According to verses [Qur'an 8:39], the Qur'an implies two objectives:[1]
- Uproot fitnah (فتنة) or persecution
- Establish supremacy of God, through Islam, in the Arabian Peninsula
Against persecution
Directives for action against persecution and unbelief:
And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.
And what has come over you that you fight not in the cause of Allah, and for those weak, ill-treated and oppressed among men, women, and children, whose cry is: 'Our Lord! Rescue us from this town whose people are oppressors, and raise for us from You one who will protect, and raise for us from You one who will help. [You should know that] those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan. So fight you against the friends of Satan. Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan.
Most Muslim scholars consider it an eternal directive and believe that all types of oppression should be considered under this directive.[1][18] Similarly, if a group of Muslims commit unwarranted aggression against some of their brothers and does not desist from it even after all attempts of reconciliation, such a group according to the Qur'an should be fought with:
And if two parties or groups among the believers start fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you against the one which outrages till it complies with the command of Allah. Then if it complies, make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily! Allah loves those who are the equitable. The believers are brothers to one another. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.
When asked what to do in the event that Muslims did not have a state, Muhammad directed Muslims to dissociate themselves from all other groups:
- I asked: If there is no state or ruler of the Muslims? He replied: In this situation, dissociate yourself from all groups, even if you have to chew the roots of a tree at the time of your death. Sahih Bukhari 7084
Supremacy of Islam in the Arabian peninsula
It is stated in Qur'an:
Indeed those who are opposing Allah and His Messenger are bound to be humiliated. The Almighty has ordained: ''I and My Messengers shall always prevail''. Indeed Allah is Mighty and Powerful.
After Itmam al-hujjah (clarification of religion to the addressees in its ultimate form), Jews were subdued first, and had been granted amnesty because of various pacts. Those among them who violated these pacts were given the punishment of denying a Messenger of God.[1] Muhammad exiled the tribe of Banu Qaynuqa to Khyber and that of Banu Nadir to Syria.[19] The power they wielded at Khyber was crushed by an attack at their strongholds.[20] Prior to this, Abu al-Rafi and Ka'b ibn al-Ashraf were put to death in their houses.[21] The tribe of Banu Qurayza was guilty of treachery and disloyalty in the battle of the Ahzab.[22] When the clouds of war dispersed and the chances of an external attack no longer remained, Muhammad laid siege around them. When no hope remained, they asked Muhammad to appoint Sa'd ibn Mua'dh as an arbitrator to decide their fate. Their request was accepted. Since, at that time, no specific punishment had been revealed in the Qur'an about the fate of the Jews, Sa'd ibn Mua'dh announced his verdict in accordance with the Torah. As per the Torah, the punishment in such situations was that all men should be put to death; the women and children should be made slaves and the wealth of the whole nation should be distributed among the conquerors.[23][24] In accordance with this verdict pronounced, all men were executed.[25] John Esposito writes that Muhammad's use of warfare in general was alien neither to Arab custom nor to that of the Hebrew prophets, as both believed that God had sanctioned battle with the enemies of the Lord.[26]
No other incident of note took place regarding the Jews until the revelation of At-Tawba, the final judgement, was declared against them:[1]
Fight those who believe not in Allah or the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission and are subdued.
This directive related to both the Jews and the Christians. The punishment mentioned in these verses is a show of lenience to them because they were originally adherents to monotheism. The story holds that they did not benefit from this lenience because, after Muhammad's death, they once again resorted to fraud and treachery.[27][28][29][30] Consequently, the Jews of Khyber and the Christians of Najran were exiled once and for all from the Arabian peninsula by Umar. This exile actually fulfilled the following declaration of the Qur'an about them:[1]
And had it not been that Allah had decreed exile for them, He would certainly have punished them in this world; and in the Hereafter theirs shall be the torment of the Fire.
When the polytheists of Arabia had been similarly subdued, it was proclaimed in At-Tawba that in future no pact would be made with them. They would be given a final respite of four months and then they would be humiliated in retribution of their deeds and would in no way be able to escape from this punishment. After this time limit, the declaration is made in the Qur'an:[1]
And a declaration should be made from Allah and His Messenger to these people on the day of the great Hajj that Allah is free from [all] obligations to these Idolaters and so is His Messenger. So if you [O Idolaters!] repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you cannot escape from the grasp of Allah. And give tidings [O Muhammad (sws)] of a painful torment to these disbelievers. Except those of these Idolaters with whom you have a treaty, and who have not shown treachery in it nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to the end of their term. Indeed, Allah loves those who abide by the limits. Then when the sacred months [after the Hajj] have passed, kill these Idolaters wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. But if they repent and establish the prayer, and give Zakah, then leave them alone. Indeed, Allah is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
After the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, Muhammad himself singled out nations by writing letters to them. In all, they were written to the heads of eight countries.[31] Consequently, after consolidating their rule in the Arabian peninsula, the Companions launched attacks against these countries giving them two options if they wanted to remain alive: to accept faith or to accept a life of subjugation by paying Jizya. None of these nations were considered to be adherents to polytheism, otherwise they would have been treated in the same way as the Idolaters of Arabia.[1]

Cyndi Lauper
Life Path Number 1
" I lucked out when I started to sing. I'd already experienced failing at everything else."
Cyndi Lauper is an American singer, songwriter, and actress whose first album She's So Unusual was the first debut female album to chart four top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", and "All Through the Night".
She was born on Monday June 22nd 1953, in Queens, New York, United States.
Cyndi Lauper was born with extra-ordinary drive and determination. She is a born leader. Cyndi insists on her right to make up her own mind; she demands freedom of thought and action, and does not let anything or anyone stand in her way once she is committed to her goal.
Lauper assumes the responsibility to be the protector and provider for those she loves. She demands respect and attention and becomes irritated and even domineering when important things do not go her way.
Cyndi Lauper needs to feel in command of important undertakings, and resists supportive roles. She seeks the forefront and the limelight.
Cyndi is exceptionally creative and original and possesses a touch of the unusual. Her approach to problems is unique and she has the courage to wander from the beaten path. Cyndi Lauper can be impatient with her shortcomings and those of others.
She is very concerned with her status and fosters the appearance of success and self-satisfaction. The need to appear well off propels Cyndi to strive for growth, success and the finer things of life.
Cyndi Lauper should watch out for selfishness, conceit and the over-concern with appearance. She must guard against overzealous behavior, anger and aggressiveness. If these qualities are not brought under control Cyndi could become excessively domineering, vindictive and even violent. She performs best when she left to her own devices. Ideally Lauper should own her own business and be her own boss. Cyndi Lauper should hold fast to her life's dream and work with the determination she possesses to realize it. Cyndi can become overly stressed by her driven nature. She needs to be careful about the food she eats and maintain an exercise program she enjoys. Competition sports are often a healthy outlet for a person with Lauper's drive, particularly sports involving running and swimming. Cyndi Lauper must not let pride and overconfidence be her masters. She has to remember that her talents and abilities are a gift from a higher source, which should promote gratitude and humility, rather than pride and conceit.
More often than not a person with a 1 Life Path will achieve much in life as long as the drive, creativity, originality and pioneering spirit are fully employed!

Look at these gorgeous boys! Wolfie (short coat) and Bear (long coat) are 4 ½ yr old Shepherd mix brothers. Each weights about 110 lbs. Micro chipped and neutered.
These boys need help! They are great inside and outside dogs. They are currently living with a Chihuahua, two adults and grand kids. They are friendly with other dogs and good with children. These are really great dogs and just had a vet check and their health is good. They have medical insurance and the owner is offering to pay for the next 6 months if that will help them find homes. She is moving soon and desperately needs to find homes. If you are looking for a really nice dog or two these boys might be prefect to be your new best friend. If you can foster one or two to allow us more time to find forever homes that would be wonderful too!!
This is a courtesy posting. Please contact the owner directly for information (St. Paco's is not doing the adoption)
Owner: Rhonda Courtney at 760-330-0196 for more info about these sweet dogs.
St. Paco's Second Chance Rescue was founded by volunteers in San Diego. Our goal is to "Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome" rescued dogs from San Diego and Baja California.
We love Baja and understand that it is a struggle for some of the people to provide a proper home and care for their dogs. We rescue dogs that are running through traffic, starving on the streets and have no one to care for them. Sadly, many are in poor condition and need medical care.

Hi Everyone,
I'm planning on going skiing in Jan/Feb 2011 in Europe but with sooo many different destinations available I can't decide. I want to go from 4-7 days and would like the keep costs down as much as possible. I wouldn't mind a bit of apres ski action too so somewhere with a bit of life would be nice.
I'm open to ANY suggestions! Ideally I'd love to book a package with ski hire/passes included just to have all that sorted...
All help welcome! :-)

LONDON (Reuters) - British housebuilder Crest Nicholson said first-half profit before exceptional items rose 37 percent, reflecting "very strong" demand.
The company reported pretax profit of 38.4 million pounds ($64.5 million) on revenue up 26 percent to 241.1 million pounds for the six months to April 30, and said it was confident about its prospects for the rest of the year.
Chief Executive Stephen Stone said legal completions in the half rose 35 percent to 1,091, and sales per outlet were up 8 percent to 0.83 a week.
"From a land pipeline we are still seeing very good opportunities," he said in an interview on Tuesday.
Stone said the company had been buying land in "very good locations" in highly sought-after southeast England - in areas such as Marlow, Cambridge, Putney, and West Wycombe - which would lead to an increase in average sales prices.
Shares in the group, which along with its peers fell on Friday after the Bank of England signaled it could intervene to cool the housing market, were trading up 3 percent at 334.6 pence at 0747 GMT (0847 BST).
The housing market itself showed no signs of slowing in data released on Tuesday. British house prices rose 9.9 percent in April from a year earlier, their biggest annual rise since June 2010, the country's Office for National Statistics said.
London saw an 18.7 percent year-on-year rise in April, it added.
Barclays analyst Jon Bell, who has an "overweight" rating on the stock, said the company's strong interim results and a positive outlook allowed him to upgrade his pretax profit forecasts by 9 percent, 16 percent and 22 percent respectively , in the next three years.
He said Crest Nicholson had a "highly supportive backdrop". "Despite weak stock market sentiment and fears of interest rate rises, core house building fundamentals remain strong in the south of England," he said.
Crest Builds most of its homes in southern England, from the county of Kent in the east to Somerset in the west.

A Postcard from the Volcano(2009)
A Novel About Pre-war Germany
A novel by Lucy Beckett
Beginning in 1914 and ending on the eve of World War II, this epic story follows the coming of age and early manhood of the Prussian aristocrat, Max von Hofmannswaldau. From the idyllic surroundings of his ancestral home to the streets of cosmopolitan Breslau menaced by the Nazi SS, Hofmannswaldau uncovers the truth about his own identity and confronts the modern ideologies that threaten the annihilation of millions of people. A Postcard from the Volcano opens with the outbreak of World War I and the Prussian pride and patriotism that blind the noble von Hofmannswaldau family to the destruction that lies ahead for their country. The well-researched narrative follows the young count as he leaves home to finish his education and ends up a stranger in the land of his birth. Both intelligent and sensitive, Beckett's prose explores the complex philosophical and political questions that led Europe into a second world war, while never losing sight of a man whose life is shaped by his times. A deeply moving historical novel that shows the horrific impact that two world wars had on whole countries, and how individuals struggled to deal with the incredible challenges presented by such devastation.

About the Book
In Fall 2005, Bejgrowicz took his first photograph of architectural abandonment. McDonald Street was a low-income neighborhood comprised of a church, a school and a couple dozen homes built as employee housing in the 1930s for the ABC Coke plant across the railroad tracks in Tarrant, AL. As a result of nearly eight feet of flooding from the highly polluted Five Mile Creek (or "Creosote Creek" as it was nicknamed) in 2003, the residents of McDonald Street were permanently displaced from their contaminated homes. Most of them never returned to claim any of their personal belongings, be it family photo albums, closets full of clothing, record collections, keys, or personal identification. The street was, for all intents and purposes, a ghost town. Only the school was transformed into a business while the rest of the street, both the church and the homes, remained untouched and vacant. That is, until the entire neighborhood was razed for good within three years of his shooting it.
Throughout the following seven years Bejgrowicz would shoot nearly 200 locations in the United States from Alabama and California to Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and the mighty city of Detroit. This collection features over 140 images from those years and represents the first-ever retrospective of his work in this field.

Thank you response is too high on submitted formAsked by nina7 on November 26, 2014 at 02:39 PM
I have a Thank you! Your order has been submitted that comes on, after an order has been submitted. However, it doesn't show, unless the customer scrolls back up, which they don't think to do. So, they are unsure if their order went through or not. Can it be set to be lower on the form, so it shows right after the form has been submitted?
Thanks for your help!
JotForm Support
Thank you for contacting us.
Please add the next code to your form iFrame code:
So the iFrame will be:
<iframe id="JotFormIFrame" onload="window.parent.scrollTo(0,0)" allowtransparency="true" src="https://secure.jotform.us/form/40135494371149" frameborder="0" style="width:100%; height:3400px; border:none;" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
It should add the auto scrolling to the top of the Thank You page upon submission.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know.
Thanks for getting back to me - I need a little more info. Where do I
find my iFrame code? It's been awhile since I added this form to my
website, so I forgot a lot of what I did to set it up.
JotForm Support
You are quite welcome. I am referring to the form iFrame code embedded at http://www.n7designs.com/order-form/. It seems that you use a Squarespace website service, so the code should be edited through their builder.
Thank you.
I actually figured this out and checked my site - the code you gave me is
the same as the one that is on there already, with scrolling set to yes.
The form scrolls fine, it's just the placement of the Thank you. After the
customer submits, it should be right there when it's done submitting, but
it's too high up for them to see it.
JotForm Support
I see that the attribute "scrolling" is set to yes. But upon checking your website, I see that it's missing the "onload="window.parent.scrollTo(0,0)" in the form embed code. As my colleague Mike_T has mentioned, you need to add that code to your embed form code.
Here's the tutorial on how to add the form's code in Squarespace: http://www.jotform.com/help/37-Adding-Form-to-Squarespace. But please do make sure that you add the codes given by my colleague.
You can also find different embed form code here:
I hope this helps. If you are still having problems or need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.
Thank you.
Oh, I see, I missed that section, when checking it. I'll try it and hope
it works.
Thank you!
JotForm Support
Please let us know of the results also.
Contact us again anytime if issue remains.
I just tried it and it worked! Thanks so much! And Happy Thanksgiving!

Cocaine Delivered UN
January 30, 2012 by staff
Cocaine Delivered UN, Two massive sacks of cocaine have been accidentally delivered to the UN's headquarters in New York.
The stash of coke was hidden in hollowed-out books inside bags that boasted the UN's blue emblem.
According to reports, the sacks were shipped from Mexico, but when parcel sorters in Ohio couldn't find an address on them, they forwarded them to the UN instead.
New York Police Department deputy commissioner Paul Browne told AFP: "It is my understanding that because there was no addressee, the DHL just thought well that's the UN symbol so we should ship it on to UN headquarters and let them figure out who it was supposed to go to."
Staff identified the bags as fakes as they were the wrong colour and material to be an official UN bag. That in itself triggered a security alert at the New York HQ.
"It was not a diplomatic pouch. That I can say categorically," UN spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
NYPD is working on the theory that the bags might not have been meant to leave Mexico in the first place.
Deputy commissioner Browne said: "Somebody in Mexico is probably in trouble now having let a significant amount of cocaine out of their possession."

Nintendo announced plans to begin making their first-party games available for download this past April, and this new policy will begin with the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 next month. This move was thought to be a revolutionary step forward for a company that is often criticized for falling behind on current gaming trends, but it was disheartening when we learned that downloading a new title will cost gamers the exact same price as it does for a boxed copy.
With very little incentive to purchase 3DS titles through the eShop, Nintendo has finally confirmed that gamers that take the liberty of buying New Super Mario Bros. 2 via eShop will not only become pioneers of the Big N's new digital venture, but will also receive a small bonus in the form of 100 Club Nintendo coins. Meanwhile, those that purchase the retail version of NSMB2 will receive a mere 50 coins.
Club.Nintendo.com revealed the news, much to the delight of gamers who planned on downloading the game anyway, but it's really not much of a deal breaker. In Japan, on the other hand, digital connoisseurs will be rewarded with a free downloadable copy of the original Donkey Kong, which is a much more enticing offer than a few extra Club Nintendo coins.
Anyone who plans on securing a digital copy of New Super Mario Bros. 2 upon its release will have to do two things to obtain the extra Nintendollars:
- Make sure they've linked their Nintendo 3DS to their Club Nintendo account.
- Complete the registration survey on Club Nintendo prior to September 30th, 2012.
While the extra coins are a nice gesture, and an easy way to help fans reach the coveted Club Nintendo Platinum Status, they just aren't enough to make it worth missing out on a tangible instruction booklet and box. Then again, travelling 3DS owners who'd like to have their game collection on the go may disagree.
New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be 1-Upping the competition on Nintendo 3DS this August 19th.

Posted on 04/30/2002 5:48:26 PM PDT by WashingtonianEdited on 04/22/2004 11:46:29 PM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
By JOHN R. LOTT JR.
Sixteen people were killed during Friday's school shooting in Germany. This follows the killing of 14 regional legislators in Zug, a Swiss canton, last September, and the massacre of eight city council members in a Paris suburb last month. The three worst public shootings in the Western world during the past year all occurred in Europe, whose gun laws are exactly what gun-control advocates want the U.S. to adopt. Indeed, all three occurred in gun-free "safe zones."
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
That will help.
Americans seem to have a knack, natural born I am sure, for figuring out how to use guns in the least injurious manner.
This may well be an example of "evolution in our time", worked in tandem with major technological advances.

Japanese Cafeteria Spaghetti Sauce
Recipe by ks100
This is not Italian but it is very good - your kids will love it. I ate this almost every day in the cafeteria at work in Japan. I do not like most Japanese food and welcomed something that I sort of recognized.
Top Review by Asian Businessman
I came across this recipe by accident and it made me laugh because it is exactly what they serve over spaghetti in company cafeterias in Japan and also in small restaurants. I tried this version of the recipe (minus the fennel) and it was pretty darn close! The Japanese spaghetti they serve is thicker than typical here in the USA and it holds the sauce better. It is a very authentic recipe. Thanks for posting it.

ASAP Utilities 4.5.8 | 11.35 MB
ASAP Utilities is a powerful Excel add-in that fills the gaps in Excel and automates frequently used tasks. Since 1999 it has grown to become probably one of the world's most popular add-ins for MS Excel.
A must in every office
In my humble opinion I believe this excel software utility is a must in every office. I use it myself on a daily basis and it saves me (and many others) an incredible amount of time.
At this moment there are about 200.000 satisfied users worldwide!
ASAP = As Soon As Possible
ASAP Utilities is called this way because it significantly reduces time-consuming work. ASAP is an acronym stat stands for "As Soon As Possible" (definition). Some choose to spell it out, others tend to pronounce it "aysap". The word utilities means something useful (definition). Combined together ASAP Utilities stands for useful time-saving macro tools for Excel.
Most people struggle with managers, bosses or clients that tend to ask for you to get the job done yesterday, which of course is often difficult to pull off. ASAP Utilities doesn't allow you to travel back in time but it can certainly help you to speed up your work in Excel.
Constant improvement
Since its first release in 1999, ASAP Utilities has been improved and extended with many new features and a friendly interface. It is under constant development, so new features and improvements are being added all the time. The first year I put the program on the internet, nearly every month a new version was released. Nowadays a new version is released at least twice a year. The input we get from users all over the world is a great stimulation for us to make it a better product every time.
A must in every Office
In my humble opinion I believe ASAP Utilities is a must in every office. I use it myself on a daily basis, and it saves me an incredible amount of time. On our website we have listed some reviews from independent magazines and websites about ASAP Utilities.
I am proud to mention that ASAP Utilities is currently used by approximately 200.000 users in about 100 different countries.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
We performed a clinical study to verify the hypothesis that the central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is caused by increased serum level of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1) through the choroidal circulatory disturbance due to vortex Vein thrombosis. Blood sample was collected from 83 patients with acute stage of CSC, in whom fluorescein fundus angiogram and indocyanine green infrared angiogram were obtained. PAI1 level was determined by ELISA. Serum level of PAI1 in the patients with CSC ranged from 11 to 579 ng/ml with the median of 45 ng/ml, which was significantly higher than that in the age-matched normal control ranging from 7 to 84 ng/ml with the median of 36 ng/ml. Serum level of Pal in 40 patients (48%) with CSC was higher than 50 ng/ml that is the upper limit of the normal value.These results indicate that the serum level of PAI1 is elevated in the acute phase of CSC and that the disease may be caused from the procoagulant conditions associated with the elevated serum PAI1 level. We also found that the elevated serum level of PAI1 is maintained for several months to years in some patients, which may be responsible for the high tendency toward the disease recurrence.In combination with the delayed choroidal circulation revealed by the indocyanine green fundus angiegram, the results of the present study may support the hypothesis that CSC results from increased blood coagulation in the choroidal circulation.We also investigated the cross-sectional image obtained by the optical coherent tomography of serous detachment of retinal pigment epithelium frequently seen in eyes with CSC. The dome shaped prominence of the serous RPE detachment was less protrusive than the orange-red nodules observed in eyes with idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy.

Making an Unschool Day Fit a School Record Sheet
Aba and I have decided to go with a public charter school this year. (More on the whys of that choice later.) Its a bit difficult for me because of my unschooling tendencies and I'm determined not to sacrifice as much as I can. What's amazing is that if you think things through an unschoolish wind down day from the holidays fits into the monthly "what we learned sheet" quite nicely.
Reading/Writing: Read Meet Caroline, played Scrabble Junior, worked on Handwriting Without Tears book 2 (Thing 3) and book 1 (Thing 2).
Life Skills/PE: Took apart sukkah, carried poles and boxes, took a walk.
History: Talked about War of 1812. Watched I Love Lucy (Vitameatavegamin episode) and talked about TV history (how they were made, black and white, ads).
Math: counted pieces of sukkah to determine what was missing. Played Candyland
Science: Watched Wild Kratts and Zoboomafoo. Looked up cats and zebras in our Wilderness book. Debated who would win in three-way fight with zebra, giraffe and cheetah. Looked up each animal to verify hypotheses.
Special Interest: Read Hebrew book, colored, drew pictures
If I actually had to turn this in, I'd have taken photos of the different activities and brought copies of art ond workbook sheets. This was one day, though, and I only meet with the teacher once a month so I'm sure we'll be adding more games, books, discussions, looking things up, projects and outings. (We have a book club outing, a hike, a dance class, a book share, and a Natural History museum trip before our next meeting.)
My intention is to not make the girls realize we have changed anything other than meeting with our teacher once a month. So far, so good.

WOV Conference Call "Child Protection: Prevent, Protect, Restore" TODAY!
You are invited to join today's Women of Vision National Conference Call "Child Protection: Prevent, Protect, Restore" with World Vision International's Bill Forbes, Director of Child Protection.
TODAY, Tuesday, May 22
4:00-5:00pm PST / 7:00-8:00pm EST
Women of Vision is delighted to announce our next conference call where you can dial in along with other women from all over the country. Friends are welcome!
More than one billion children live in poverty worldwide. A hundred and fifty million are street children. Almost two million kids are exploited in the global sex trade. Over a million boys and girls are trafficked annually for child labor. Trafficking is the use of fraud, force, or coercion to exploit a person for profit.
Reading these heart-wrenching statistics can be difficult. But Bill Forbes has devoted his life to championing World Vision's response to the abuse and exploitation of children. Bill worked for World Vision in Cambodia for eight years, providing leadership to the Peace and Justice program. He studied at Fuller Theogical Seminary and Cornell University. Now based in Federal Way, WA, Bill's current role includes monitoring programs which address child labor, street children, child trafficking, children affected by armed conflict and gender-based and domestic violence.
Join our host Angela Mason and listen to Bill's inspiring and uplifting stories as he explains how World Vision is at the forefront of creating prevention strategies as well as restoring hope and happiness to many children.
Simply call our toll-free number at the scheduled time: 1-888-257-4733, Access # 627-372
Looking forward to joining you on the call!

Configurable list widget settings not visible in new V4 editor?Asked by Kusi06 on January 18, 2017 at 01:59 AM
Dear Sir or Madam
I was cloning forms that have been created since a while, so with older jotform-builder version than the actual version.
I was cloning such a form to the follwing form: https://eu.jotform.com/build/70171578903358
After cloing, jotform will bring me to the correct old builder version, where i can correctly edit the configuarable-list-fields trough the Wizard button.
BUT when I close the form and go in again "Edit Form", it will bring me on the new builder version (orange background) and in this version, all the configuarble-list fields that have been creadted with prev. builder version will no more be editable. Instead of the Wizard-Button there is the button for condinational rules settings.
(See printscreens)
Is there a possibility to fix this issue from your side or is there a way to edit them with prev. version builder?
Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
JotForm Support
Hello, and thank you for contacting our support.

Winning Strategies You Should Incorporate When Buying A Home
Purchasing any property is a huge leap forward for any individual, particularly if a buyer is new to the process. The realization of how much the property truly costs and how big of a commitment it is can really be overwhelming. Use the strategies in this guide to gain success and ease your real estate buying concerns.
Be moderate in your real estate property.Many people get too aggressive so that they can get a great deal, and they wind up shooting themselves in the foot. Be clear about what you want, but let your lawyer and real estate agent negotiate, let your Realtor and lawyer go at the negotiations since they are used to fighting those battles.
Each real estate agent should connect with former clients around the relationship. They will remember how you made their home buying experience. When you are concluding your greeting, neighbor or family member needs a real estate agent, your name will be fresh in their minds and they will suggest using you.
Homes that need multiple improvements or renovations are often sold for cheaper than other homes. This saves you money on your purchase, and you have time to work on your home at your own pace. A few updates and improvements could transform that diamond in the rough into your dream home!
If you are seeking to buy a pricey piece of commercial property, locate an trustworthy investment partner to do business with.
If you've provided an offer to a seller who didn't accept it, there's always room for negotiation. They might offer to cover the price of the closing costs or make some repairs to the home before you move in.
Even if you currently do not have children, if you are planning on living in the home for an extended period of time and the possibility of starting a family during those years cannot be ruled out, you should consider researching schools in the neighborhood to see if they will be satisfactory should you have any children down the road.
Keep an open mind about your real estate hunt. You probably won't be able to get everything on your want list, but you can afford another one. If you can't find a home in the area you want, shop for the type of home in a different area or vice versa.
A lot of Realtors have ready made checklists of purchasing a home. The checklist can help you organize everything is taken care of when it needs to be.
It is of utmost importance to have a good understanding of mortgage loan terms found in lending when buying a home.
If you haggle with the seller a bit, you are more likely to reach an agreement you can both accept with a smile.
You should ask questions about their track record. The agent should be prepared to answer all of your questions in a professional manner.
Try to avoid homes with fireplaces only in locations other than the family room. It may be hard to keep up to cleaning multiple fireplaces and they are barely used anyway.
So you want to find a place to purchase, now you need a real estate agent. You will want to find one you can rely on to be honest and fair. An agent with a proven track record will lead you properly.
Always do your research before buying a property. If you jump the gun, you may lose money on unsuccessful endeavors. Therefore, before you purchase any real estate, you must ensure you find out information about the area that surrounds your property, crime rates, repairs needed on the property, and more.
If you are trying to buy a building in which you plan to establish a business, be sure it is in a good neighborhood with ample growth opportunities. Starting a business in an area of high crime and dilapidated buildings will likely lead to obtaining less customers. Talk to a real estate professional to find out what prime business locations are ideal for starting up a new business.
Are you prepared now to purchase a property? Hopefully, you feel less stressed about your potential buy thanks to the information that has been provided in the above article. Just use the tips that best fit your specific circumstances to achieve the greatest success. Purchasing real estate doesn't have to be frustrating or difficult. It is a good feeling to own something that you can call yours. All you have to do is be mindful of the costs and not rush into anything.

Australia Law
Have Australian Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and thank you for your question.
Have you any thoughts on how your receipts may have gotten into this dumped rubbish?Do you know how when and where you disposed of these receipts?
What was the nature of the waste?
Very different penalties apply if the offence relates to material that could harm the environment, as opposed to littering. So if it was just paper and other biodegradable material the offence is relatively minor, however, if there toxic substances included in the waste it may involve a much more serious charge.
Also, do you know your parents disposed of eight bags, or is it possible the fact that eight bags were involved indicates your parents rubbish was dumped along with other peoples?
You are charged for each question, and if you want me to call you there is an extra charge, but I'm not sure that is necessary.I cannot advise you to lie, but if you are not sure how your rubbish got there then that's what you should tell them.Generally to charge someone with an offence they will have to demonstrate who exactly dumped the rubbish. The mere fact they may suspect someone from your or your parents house is not sufficient to allow them to prosecute anyone, assuming the council is contemplating a littering charge:
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/poteoa1997455/s145.htmlMore serious offences may allow them to charge the owner of waste even if they cannot prove the owner themselves dropped off the waste, but that would be unlikely to apply to ordinary domestic rubbish of the type you describe.
I trust the above assists.
Please rate my answer, or if you want a call to discuss the matter further, please be aware there are additional charges for that service.

You know how apps and some websites offer an overlay to their page with arrows and tips on how to use the site or app? I want that for my site. FTUE = first time user experience.
I'd want it to be customizable so I could highlight the areas I want to educate on, and customize the associated text. It could be refreshed for all user groups when a major upgrade occurs.
It could present tips one at a time (Google does this) with next/skip options or it could simply be one giant overlay with an "ok, got it!" prompt to close out.
Would you use this?
