A [[StrategyGame Strategy]]/SimulationGame from Ybarra Productions, Inc., released in 1994.
The player takes on the role of TheCaptain of the UNS ''Calypso'', a colony ship sent from Earth to the Beta Caeli system in the wake of a HopelessWar between humanity and the Centaurians as a last-ditch effort to ensure that humans survive in some parts of the galaxy. Upon waking up from a HumanPopsicle state, you receive messages from Earth sent decades (centuries? millennia?) prior, which inform you of another colony ship, UNS ''Tantalus'', sent to Beta Caeli 16 years later but, thanks to a more efficient engine, set to arrive 21 years prior to the ''Calypso''. Upon arriving to the system, you see that it is remarkably similar to the Solar System. There are also remains of the ''Tantalus'' colonists' presence but no colonists themselves.
The game involves colonizing the system and figuring out what happened to the ''Tantalus'' and her colonists. This involves sending shuttles to scout planets for resources and viable colony sites, building new colonies, populating them, and constructing buildings necessary to make them self-sufficient. Some colonies cannot be self-sufficient by definition, which includes space stations (which can't mine natural resources) and the ''Calypso'' herself, which is a giant, albeit mobile, space station. While only two planets (Rhea and Gaea) can support life, all planets short of gas giants can be colonized. The player can build habitats, power plants, factories, and labs for the colonies. Habitats house and "produce" colonists, power plants allow other buildings to function and produce the "energy" resource. Factories can be set to mining (produces the "industry" resource) or production (builds robots, shuttles, or missiles). Labs generate scientific resources, depending on what each lab is set to produce (mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, electronics, and geology). The main resources in the game are "people", "industry", "energy", and "robots". Scientific resources are used to research new technologies. All but "people" can also be found while exploring planets with shuttles.
The player has several advisors to help you get started and keep you informed about new developments. You also have a PDA that allows you to look up information and keep notes.
The more clues you find as to the fate of the previous colonists, the more you begin to realize you're not alone in this system.
!!Tropes present in the game:
* AbsentAliens: Despite the {{backstory}} mentioning the Centaurians, you spend much of the game with no aliens in sight. Then you find the [[spoiler:Empiants and the H'riak sporeship]].
* AbusivePrecursors: [[spoiler:The H'riak, who program all their creations with an overriding urge to destroy all non-H'riak-created organisms. This explains the Centaurians' hate towards humans. Empiants lack their hate because they were created unintentionally from waste]].
* AllPlanetsAreEarthLike: Averted, as only two planets in the Beta Caeli system are habitable. All planets, moons, and asteroids can be colonized, though.
* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Beta Caeli is described as F0 yellow-green dwarf 55 light years from Sun and 2.5 times more luminous. Actually it is 90 light years away, and 6 times brighter (even though it's F2, which are cooler than F0). According to WordOfGod, the creators of the game knew that Beta Caeli is too bright and short-lived to have habitable planets but chose it due to its relative proximity and easily-remembered name. In reality, colony ships would most likely be sent to G-type yellow dwarfs, which would also have to be far enough away for the Centaurians not to find them and would, therefore, likely have a Henry Draper Catalog designation (e.g. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_154345 HD 154345]]).
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Despite having never encountered humans before, the Centaurians somehow manage to come up with a deadly virus that kills millions of Sudanese.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The H'riak sporeship is destroyed and there is peace with the Empiants. Several colonists (both human and Empiant) manage to leave the system using the new FTL drive. However, all first-generation colonists are doomed to die soon thanks to the flawed process of turning people into {{Human Popsicle}}s]].
** This doesn't seem to be mandatory; a technology available early in the game should leave you with only sweetness.
* CasualInterstellarTravel: Averted, for the most part. Building and sending interstellar ships is a major undertaking, requiring the combined resources of the entire world. Since humanity is engaged in a war for its very survival in the {{backstory}}, humans have to build interstellar warships, even though most get destroyed in the Oort Cloud. Some make it to Alpha Centauri and proceed to Tau Ceti. This takes decades, though. The ''Odessa''-class colony ships, like the ''Tantalus'' and the ''Calypso'', are equally funded by the entire world, as they represent the last vestiges of humanity. It is also mentioned that, while the ''Calypso'' is launched 16 years before the ''Tantalus'', the latter arrives 21 years before the former due to a better fusion engine. Given that Beta Caeli is about 90 light years away, it would take at least 180 years to get there at half the speed of light (even that is pushing it). This explains how a marginally-better drive allows the ''Tantalus'' to overtake her sister ship and arrive first despite the late launch.
** The Calypso travelled for more than 90000 years to reach Beta Caeli. Sounds like a lot, but keep in mind that the Tantalus took about 37 years less while only being 0.04% faster.
** Even the creation of FTL travel at the end of the game only allows for one ship to be fitted with it. The game also doesn't reveal what happened to the ship that jumped. Additionally, this FTL method requires the presence of [[spoiler:Empiants]] to punch through space-time.
* CryonicsFailure: A possibility (read: RandomEvent) for a large number of as-yet unopened pods to fail if you don't act fast enough to provide a lot of living space in your colonies. Furthermore, if many colonists die this way, your science advisor will grant him/herself a KlingonPromotion (read:NonStandardGameOver).
* DeathWorld: [[spoiler:Once the biota wake up, the formerly peaceful, Earth-like worlds of Gaea and Rhea quickly become these.]]
* EarthShatteringKaboom: If a certain TimedMission is not completed successfully, the Beta Caeli star will go nova, destroying the system. If the mission is successful, there is still an EarthShatteringKaboom but on a much smaller scale.
* EarthThatWas: Given that centuries (if not milllennia) have passed since the launch of the ''Calypso'', the fate of Earth remains unknown, especially since the most recent messages were erased or badly corrupted by a NegativeSpaceWedgie. The implication, though, is that the Centaurians have finally broken through Earth's defenses and wiped out everyone on the planet.
* EverythingSensor: The "transcendental radiation" research allows shuttles to scan for things of interest on planets, moons, and asteroids.
* FirstContact: In the {{backstory}}, first contact with the Centaurians in 2043 involved their probe destroying a scout ship and bombarding Earth with plague missiles. It's not even clear if humans even met a live Centaurian. They do have Centaurian gene samples to compare to life on Rhea and Gaea, possibly collected in the Oort Cloud after one of the many battles there.
** The first contact with the [[spoiler:Empiants]] also results in a war. However, this is due to a misunderstanding, as [[spoiler:human brainwaves hurt the psychic aliens]]. Some players report that attacks get much bigger if [[spoiler:the player previously [[PlanetLooters syphoned hydrogen]] from gas giants]].
** What may count as the first contact with [[spoiler:H'Riak, or at least their machinery,]] was Tantalus colonists finding an ancient pylon on Gaia and trying to break it. [[spoiler:After that biota started attacking humans.]]
* FrickinLaserBeams: All shuttles are armed with lasers. During the conflict with the [[spoiler:Empiants]], shuttles can also be armed with missiles that increase their firepower.
* FTLTravel: Averted at the beginning, when it takes the ''Calypso'' over a century to reach Beta Caeli on sublight. Even the Centaurians and [[spoiler:the H'riak]] don't have FTL drives. At the end, though, the humans and [[spoiler:Empiants]] manage to build [[AppliedPhlebotinum psychic amplifyiers]] that complement the [[spoiler:Empiants']] natural PsychicPowers that, in conjunction with the ''Calypso'''s fusion reactor, tear open a hole in space-time.
* GaiasVengeance: Once [[spoiler:the biota are triggered and attack the colonies]], this initially appears to be the case, especially since one of the habitable worlds is named Gaea.
* HarmlessFreezing: Initially played straight, then subverted at the end. Apparently, there are negative side effects to being turned into a HumanPopsicle for decades ([[spoiler:all first-generation colonists are doomed to die soon, but their children born after will survive]]).
* HopelessWar: The war between Earth and the Centaurians began when a Centaurian probe entered the Solar System, destroyed a ship sent to scan it, and launched a volley of missiles filled with a deadly plague at Earth, killing millions. Since then, both sides constantly sent warships at one another, usually meeting up and fighting it out in the Oort Cloud. No human warships have ever returned, although some have managed to get to the Centaurian colonies in Tau Ceti. When the final, largest, offensive against the Centaurians has failed, the Earth governments have decided to pool all resources into defending Earth and building {{Sleeper Starship}}s, knowing that the Centaurians won't stop until all humans are dead. One of the messages received by the ''Calypso'' while underway claims that the final Centauri offensive had begun and, likely, succeeded.
* HumanPopsicle: All colonists and crewmembers spend the decades of travel in cold sleep. The crew is woken up first, including the first batch of colonists. Colonists are woken up based on need. However, a random malfunction can result in several thousand colonists dying in their sleep, when their cryochambers fail.
* KlingonPromotion: If you blunder spectacularly, one of your advisors will [[NonstandardGameOver kill you]] for incompetence and take charge of the mission. Usually this involves a task with a time limit and many people die. The failures include:
** Do not set up a self-sufficient colony on Gaea. You get plenty of time and multiple warnings here. You're killed by a ''science advisor''[[note]]at the beginning she/he is introduced as an Executive Officer and your second in command, but that detail is ''never'' mentioned again[[/note]]. Apparently, the military advisor just sits by and does nothing.
** Do not create enough living space on a short notice when several hundred cryo-chambers malfunction. Science advisor again.
** Fail to develop the blood filter. Science advisor.
** Improperly respond to Fanatic's crisis on Hades. Military advisor.
** Fail to suppress a riot.
** Deplete energy storage too many times.
* LightspeedLeapfrog: A rare sublight example. Given that relatively slow speeds at which the ''Calypso'' and the ''Tantalus'' travel and the vast distance (90 light years) involved, it's not that surprising for the ''Tantalus'' to arrive to Beta Caeli 21 years before the ''Calypso'' despite being launched 16 years later with only a marginally more efficient drive. It still stings to wake up from cold sleep after such a trip only to learn that you're expected to provide "support" to people who you didn't know were supposed to join you. Had nothing bad happened to the ''Tantalus'' colonists, there would probably have been a lot of bitterness between them and the ''Calypso'' colonists.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Averted, while you can research and build missiles to be put on your shuttles during the conflict with the [[spoiler:Empiants]], each shuttle can only carry one missile at a time.
* MeaningfulName: All planets are named after [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Greek gods]], which are equivalent to the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Roman]] names for planets in the Solar system. The two Earth-like planets are named Gaea (earth goddess) and Rhea (mother of the gods). Interestingly, one of the ruins contains a mention of a movement among the ''Tantalus'' colonists to rename the planets to their Roman counterparts.
* NegativeSpaceWedgie: Several messages from Earth have been erased when the ship passed through a magnetic anomaly prior to the game.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Several notes found from the previous colonists reveal that the captain of the ''Tantalus'' had the ship dismantled to use the fusion reactor on Gaia surface as a power plant. After the [[spoiler:H'riak]] threat became apparent, many colonists cursed the captain for leaving them no option but to fight (they couldn't flee the system or even retreat to ''Tantalus'').
* NukeEm: Besides FrickinLaserBeams, shuttles can drop bombs that produce mushroom clouds and wipe out anything in the immediate vicinity on the planet below. The only limit to how many you can drop is the shuttle's energy/fuel, implying some sort of energy bomb.
* {{Panspermia}}: [[spoiler:The H'riak]] are discovered to have seeded habitable planets in several star systems with life programmed to hate any living thing of different origin. Earth is ''not'' one such planet.
* PlanetLooters: You can syphon hydrogen from gas giants to get cheap energy. [[spoiler:The Empiants, who live on Chronus, probably won't like it.]]
* PsychicPowers: [[spoiler:The Empiants are a telepathic species who are hurt by human brainwaves. They can also melt human brains]].
** "Transcendental radiation" was invented by ''Tantalus'' scientist and is rediscovered early in the game. It allows to [[ClarkesThirdLaw find places of interest]], by creating "a resonance between what the brain can conceptualize and what is physically on the planet's surface".
* PyrrhicVictory: After [[spoiler:the H'riak sporeship]] is found by the ''Tantalus'' colonists, they send their entire shuttle fleet to attack it. They manage to destroy all [[spoiler:its]] weapons but at the cost of 90% of the fleet.
* {{Ramscoop}}: The intro shows an enormous web being folded, as the ''Calypso'' is entering the Beta Caeli system. Given that the ship is powered by a fusion reactor, this is likely used to collect interstellar hydrogen to fuel it.
* RandomEvent: Several research options become available only after random events (usually, tragic). For example, the idea to develop mass drivers for sending cargo between colonies comes after a manned shuttle engaged in a "pipeline" mission inexplicably blows up. If you only use automated shuttles (there is no advantage to be using manned shuttles, except occasionally ferrying advisors to colonies), then this won't happen.
* SpacePlane: At the beginning, the ''Calypso'' only has 4 shuttles with limited fuel tanks to go ferry supplies and colonists between the ship and the colonies. Shuttles can be either unmanned or manned (almost no difference). They can also be used to send your primary advisors to colonies for certain quests. Once you set up proper self-sufficient colonies, you can set your factories to build more shuttles. Additionally, you can research shuttle improvements such as a larger fueld tank, better weapons, larger cargo space, more efficient engine, stronger armor, etc. Once the conflict with the [[spoiler:Empiants]] starts, shuttles become your {{Space Fighter}}s (or AttackDrones if you send them unmanned), although you pretty much have to send them en masse in order to make a difference. Shuttles can be sent on a variety of missions: scouting planets, exploring regions, sending cargo and/or colonists, building space stations, establishing pipelines (automatic ferrying of supplies and/or colonists between two colonies), patroling, etc. Since planets continue to orbit the star Beta Caeli, distances (and fuel requirements) constantly change.
* TimedMission: Several tasks must be completed within a certain time limit. Unfortunately, you're not told about the time limit. Failing to do so often results in a NonstandardGameOver.
* WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalus Tantalus]] was punished by the [[Myth/ClassicalMythology gods]] for killing his son and generally being a dick to be trapped for eternity in [[FateWorseThanDeath Tartarus]] constantly presented with food and water and never being able to reach them, as well a huge rock suspended over his head. So you decide to name a ship that is supposed to keep humanity alive with a guy who ended up this way. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypso_(mythology) Calypso]] is a character in ''Literature/TheOdyssey'' who forcibly kept Odysseus on her island for many years. Not much better. On the other hand, another meaning of "calypso" is "to conceal", which ''is'' appropriate for a ship that is supposed to carry the last humans away from a race of murdering aliens.
* WhatIf: Rhea is an Earth-like world whose position in the Beta Caeli system is similar to that of Venus in ours. It's not difficult to see that the creators wanted to show what Venus would be like as a lush, life-giving world. The main difference is the size (Rhea is slightly larger), the spin (Rhea spins much faster), and a moon. The theory is that these factors helped prevent the greenhouse effect that makes Venus a hellhole.
* WideOpenSandbox: The game is non-linear, which means you are free to do as you please, for the most part, in terms of building colonies and expanding. Certain events do trigger new missions, though.

Yasir Qadhi | The Definition of 'Travel' (safar) According to Islamic Law | Part 2 | MuslimMatters.org July 22, 2011 […] Yasir Qadhi | The Definition of 'Travel' (safar) According to Islamic Law | Part 3 […] Reply
abu Abdullah July 22, 2011 Jazak Allah khayr jiddan dear Shaykh Yasir. May Allah protect you and your family. Ameen. Q. I always face this dilemma about prayers travelling through time zones. How about praying during trans atlantic 15 hour flight from NJ to Mumbai (time zone difference, GMT++) or NY to San Francisco flight (GMT–)? Or should we just make them up afterwards. wassalam. Reply
MW_M July 22, 2011 I wondered this too. If you're going by the actual physical signs, you'd be praying something like 8 prayers in a day one way and 2 prayers in a day on the return trip. Reply
Yasir Qadhi July 22, 2011 Salaam Alaikum You would be required to pray them according to your current location. Merely look out the window and you can get a good enough estimate. So, a night flight from NJ to Mumbai (which I've taken a few times myself!) leaves at around 9 PM NJ time and arrives in Mumbai the next evening around 8 PM. Therefore, you would be required to pray Fajr and Dhuhr and Asr in the plane. You can pray Maghrib/Isha before boarding the late night flight, and then pray the next Maghrib/Isha in Mumbai. Yasir Reply
abu Abdullah July 22, 2011 wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, Jazaak Allahu khayran Shaykh. may Allah increase you in goodness and cause this to be accepted sawab jariya for you and forgive your parents . Ameen. Additionally, I wonder if such travelling destination is ALSO your home where you intend to stay (back home, Parents live there and you don't have to live like in motel) for say 2-3 weeks and masjid is accessible easily. What do I do? (Pray Jam'/Qasr or both or none) In and of itself, its a good dawah opportunity to be praying on a plane. What was ibn Taymiyyah's opinion on praying while flying in the air/space ( I heard He rahimahullah did give a fatwa about same, centuries before flying was discovered). If its there and is appropriate here, please let us know it. PS Regardless, when are you coming to Mumbai next insh Allah? :)
Sunny ibn Salman Al-Amreekee January 6, 2014 As-Salaamu `alaykum, I second the curious thought above by Abu Abdullah. What is the understanding of praying salaah while on a moving vehicle, be it a car, train, airplane, et cetera? Jazaakumu llaahu khayran was-salaamu `alaykum.
Interesting July 22, 2011 Yasir Qadhi says: "as our respected Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn did". It is just be or does it seem like he is implying he was a student of the late shaykh (rahimahullah) Reply
Yasir Qadhi July 22, 2011 Salaam Alaikum Allah blessed me to study with the Shaykh in his annual summer intensives that he held in his mosque in Unayzah. I was only able to attend one summer intensive, in 2000, the very last year that they were held. The Shaykh passed away early 2001, yarhamuhullah. Yasir Reply
amina July 22, 2011 assalamu alaikkum warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu JazakumAllahkhair . Ma'asha Allah , You do all the hard work in searching and researching , and we get to learn easily from you. May Allah(swt) bless you and reward you and your family immensely .Ameen. Reply
Adam July 22, 2011 Salam alaykum Sheikh JazakAllah khair for an informative series. May this be the reason you enter jannat alfirdaws. ameen Reply
Amad July 22, 2011 salam & jazakalalhkhair how about following real-life situations: 1) Travelling to work in another city, state or country. Everyday. E.g.: Commuters from Malaysia to Singapore. 2) Excursion trip to another state for a day. E.g. going from Philly to Washington DC for a day-trip. 3) Going to school in another city, 40 miles away everyday b) Weekend school where you stay overnight, e.g. Delaware to Philly. I have also heard that if u r "settled", you shorten but don't combine. When is that applicable? Reply
Yasir Qadhi July 23, 2011 Amad, Did you actually read all three parts carefully ;) All of your answers are there…. Reply
MHB July 22, 2011 The Prophet (S) said, "Live in this world as (if you are) a traveler.†(Bukhari). Does this mean we should shorten and combine prayers and not fast at all times? [P.S. This is a joke] Reply
Yasir Qadhi July 23, 2011 Salam Well, this can actually be used to correct the understanding that someone who is temporarily in a place for a long period of time can still be called a traveller (the opinion that Shaykh Ibn Uthaymin held). One could say, based on this hadith, that an entire lifetime is merely a 'travel' from this world to the next! Thsi hadith actually supports Ibn Taymiyya's position, because the point here is that the Prophet (SAWS) intended to describe a particular lifestyle, here indicating someone with few possessions and little attachment to his place of residence. This clearly shows that a traveller is someone with a particular lifestyle, and this lifestyle is known by one's culture and custom. Yasir Reply
nod July 25, 2011 Actually, A lot of shias pray 3 times a day and they combine all the time. I was told this was one of thier proofs, we are all "permanent" travelers.
Fulaan July 22, 2011 It seems that defining residence is something which is struggled with even nowadays. The UK is currently trying to make a statutory tax definition of residence (in the UK, unlike in the US there are tax advantages to being non-resident as you are only taxed on your UK earnings if you are non-resident, not your worldwide earnings like the US.) http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/d/consult_condoc_statutory_residence.pdf The things they are listing as factors which are similar to above are things like: * Purchase of properties / availability of private accomodation in the UK * Location of the residence of your spouse and children (similar to what was said elsewhere (not above) in that you are not resident where your parents live) * Number of days passed in the UK (though cumulative, not in one instance as above) Previously (and currently) they relied on purported intention (did you 'intend' to live in the UK permanently) which is naturally hard to prove either way in a court of tax law. What Sh Uthaymeen seems to be describing is domicile – or what someone considers to be their natural home – taking that to its natural conclusion a refugee who is a citizen in say the UK and lives here all his natural life could be considered to be a traveller if they always intended to return to their home country when it was possible to do so – even if that return would be undefined and would be dependent on for example that country being politically stable enough for them to return to at some point. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/hmrc6.pdf Fulaan Reply
Omar July 22, 2011 BarakaAllahu feek ya Shaykh Yasir, Reading this series has tremendously increased my respect for our fuqaha' – There is a great deal of legal reasoning that goes into fiqh, a great deal of mental prowess, which many don't appreciate – Islam is a vast deen, that respects differences, even on fundamentals like time of prayer – Our scholars are smart people, but fallible humans – We need many modern mujtahids – You are in love with Ibn Taymiyya :) Reply
Abez July 22, 2011 JazakAllahuKheiran! Very informative, very useful, and very appreciated. Would love to read more pieces like this, this was like the FAQ for Qasr that I've never been able to find elsewhere. :) Reply
MangoLassi July 22, 2011 JazakAllahu khayran ya Shaykh! This was really informative. If you're taking requests to do another fiqh series, i would appreciate it if you could do a series on the fiqh of investing. I've heard so many different opinions on this topic and can't seem to get a hand on a comprehensive analysis on the topic like you do. Reply
MangoLassi July 22, 2011 Shaykh Yasir: what if the traveller attends a masjid or prays in congregation with the locals with the imam leading 4 rakahs for dhuhr or asr or isha? What should the traveller do? Pray the full 4 rakahs behind the imam or pray 2 rakahs and keep sitting in tashahud till the salam? Reply
Yasir Qadhi July 23, 2011 Such a person must pray the full salat behind the Imam. This is in accordance with all four schools of Sunni law. Reply
Omar July 24, 2011 What if I join late in the prayer and miss a few rakahs? For example in Isha if I join in the 3rd rakah, do I finish just my 2 and say salam with the imam, or do another 2? I recall Sheikh Waleed Basyouni said his personal opinion was to pray just my 2, though he said the majority view is to pray the full 4 (or whatever the imam prayed).
Zainab December 28, 2012 Salaam u alaikum, Dear Sheikh Yasir, Can u please authentife the following Hadith for me: "I will continue to struggle with this mission until a woman can travel freely all by herself without fear of molestation or assault on her person from any quarter!" And can u also please tell me what different scholars have said about the hadith of Abu Hurayra from Abu Dawud that a woman may not travel without a mahram the distance of a Bureida. Thank you.
Ibn Sabeel July 22, 2011 As-salam-u-alaikum Shaykh Yasir Qadhi! Could you please briefly discuss what constitutes a city in the matter of travel? I have heard the following three opinions: 1. City Limit 2. County Limit 3. Where the metropolitan area ends JazakAllahu khayr. Reply
Michael Scott July 23, 2011 mashaAllah great article! Thank you Shaikh Yasir! May Allah reward you for your efforts. I would encourage others to take the gist of his message and decide wisely based on their circumstances and pray to Allah SA for acceptance. We can continue to create hypothetical scenarios which will only complicate matters further and not achieve anything useful. Wallahu 'Alam. Reply
Question July 24, 2011 combining the prayers is only done where there is a need to do so, regardless of whether one is traveling or not, for it is also permissible for the resident to combine Let's say i've been out all day (in my own city), can I combine for example Maghrib and Isha @ Maghrib time only because I might be too tired when I get home @ isha time to pray Isha (because of being out the whole day with kids, etc)?

Umar Shariff July 24, 2011 Very informative article. May Allah bless the Shaikh for bringing this wonderful piece of work. Reply
Ismail Kamdar July 24, 2011 Jazakallah Khair for Shaykh for this detailed explanation. Please publish more articles of this nature as we are much in need of them. Reply
Shuaib Mansoori July 24, 2011 It is reported that Ibn Ê¿Umar prayed qaá¹£r for six months while in Azerbaijan So for those of us who've recently moved to Azerbaijan from the West, can we invent a new ruling and pray qasr always? ;) Reply
Amy July 24, 2011 May Allah preserve you. This was a tremendously beneficial series of posts. Jazaakallahu khayran for clarifying the distinction in rulings regarding combining as opposed to merely shortening prayers for travel. InshaaAllaah I can see that immediately changing my perception of the issue. Reply
Khader Ali Khan July 25, 2011 Salaam Alaikum Shaykh Yasir, This is trivial question but I would appreciate if you answer it. All the rules and concession that applies to Traveler with regards to Salah also applies to fasting, correct? So, If I travel 90 miles to play cricket game (which is all day long), can I skip the fasting and make it on other day? Is it a valid reason? It is unthinkable for me to skip fasting in Ramadan. Jazakallahukhairan. Khader Reply
Ismail August 21, 2012 Salaam, I have a question. My wife follows the opinion that u are no longer traveler once u are stationary in a house or hotel etc. I follow ibn uthaymeens opinion. Should she obey me and follow my opinion or is it haram for me to make her follow my opinion? I feel it would cause hardship for me as I will always have to wait for he to pray full salah while I combine and also is praying in masjid fardh while traveling? And if I combine then how do I pray in masjid 5 times? Jazakallahu Kheiran sheikh , Reply

emad January 30, 2014 Alhamdolelah I am a only a Muslim and not from the 44 mathhabs, and I follow The Prophet (ﷺ) and not anyone's opinion In saheh Muslim Yahya b. Yazid al-Huna'i reported: I asked Anas b. Malik about shortening of prayer. He said: When the Messenger of' Allah (ﷺ) had covered a distance of three miles or three farsakh (Shu'ba, one of the narrators, had some doubt about it) he observed two rak'ahs. That's it either 3 miles or 3 farsakh (9 miles) , I am an ummi and I follow and I don't measure – No opinion after the opinion of the Prophet (ﷺ). PS – Shiekh yaseer, why didn't you mention the above hadith from sahih Muslim, it's the most authentic hadith on the subject. with all due respect you have a long research of what this scholar said and their opinions are , what about the opinion of rasol Allah and Umar ibn Alkkhatab ?

Early childhood
Part of a series on |
Human growth and development |
Stages |
Biological milestones |
Early childhood is a stage in human development. It generally includes toddlerhood and some time afterwards. Play age is an unspecific designation approximately within the scope of early childhood. Some age-related development periods and examples of defined intervals are: newborn (ages 0–5 weeks); infant (ages 5 weeks – 1 year); toddler (ages 1–3 years); preschooler (ages 3–5 years); school-aged child (ages 5–11 years); adolescent (ages 12–19).[1]
In psychology the term, early childhood is usually defined as the time period from the age of two until the age of six or seven years. There are three simultaneous development stages:[2]
Physical growth and development[edit]
In this phase there is significant synaptic growth and myelination of neural fibers in the brain, especially within the frontal lobes. For example, between the ages 2 and 6, the brain increases from 70% of its adult weight to 90%.[3] The growth of the brain is followed by a surge in cognitive abilities. Around the age of five, children start speaking properly and master their hand to eye coordination.
It is optimal that an environment is provided that encourages physical development and allows the children to explore and try out new things. The physical development in children follows a pattern. The large muscles develop before the small muscles, the large muscles are used for walking and running and other physical activities, these are known as gross motor skills. Small muscles are used for fine motor skills such as picking up objects, writing, drawing, throwing and catching. [4]
Cognitive growth and development[edit]
Called the preoperational stage by Jean Piaget, this is the stage during which the child repeatedly asks "Why?", and is used to build relationships with the child. The child can't yet perform the abstract thinking operations. The child has to be able to see what is being talked about, because they do not understand the concepts of logic, betrayal, contemplation, etc. This means that they think literally: if a child is told that they have to go to bed because "night is falling", they will ask how can the night (literally) fall from the sky. They also see the human characteristics in every object, e.g. the table "is bad" if they accidentally hit it with their foot and it hurts. They also exhibit egocentrism; not to be confused with egoism; that being said, they do not comprehend that the other person has beliefs and the children at this age think that what they think, everybody thinks. There is also a matter of perceptive centration, which causes the children to primarily see what is visually most prominent on someone/something, e.g. if a man has long hair, the child will think he's a woman.[citation needed]
Social-emotional growth and development[edit]
This includes children understanding a sense of 'self', relationships with others and sociability. The emotional development includes expressions,attachment and personality.[5] Children manifest fear of dark and monsters and around the age of three notice whether they are a boy or a girl and start acting that way. Boys are usually more aggressive, whilst girls are more caring. However, aggression is manifested in two different ways: boys are more physically aggressive, while the girls are more socially aggressive (name-calling and ignoring). In this stage the individual differences become more prominent.
Physical development[edit]
Gross motor skills[edit]
Between ages 2 and 3 years, young children stop using the awkward, wide-legged robot-like stance that is the hallmark of new walkers. As they develop a smoother gait, they also develop the ability to run, jump, and hop. Children of this age can participate in throwing and catching games with larger balls. They can also push themselves around with their feet while sitting on a riding toy.[6]
The period of the most rapid development of motor behaviors is the period between 2 and 6 years (also known as the preschool years). Skills that appear are basic locomotor, ball-handling, fine eye–hand coordination, walking leads to running, jumping, hopping, galloping, and skipping, climbing evolves from creeping.
Fine motor skills[edit]
There are several developmental expectations for children to reach by the time they reach the age of 2. Children are expected to be able to draw simple shapes such as circles, squares and triangles. They should also be able to cut out such shapes as these. By doing such activities as these develops the children's fine motor skills, by strengthening their fingers and developing their finger control.[7] Fine Motor Skill
Infants and toddlers experience life more holistically than any other age group[8] Social, emotional, cognitive, language, and physical lessons are not learned separately by very young children. Adults who are most helpful to young children interact in ways that understand that the child is learning from the whole experience, not just that part of the experience to which the adult gives attention..
The most information learned occurs between birth and the age of three, during this time humans develop more quickly and rapidly then they would at any other point in their life. Love, affection, encouragement and mental stimulation from the parents or guardians of these young children aid in development. At this time in life, the brain is growing rapidly and it is easier for information to be absorbed; parts of the brain can nearly double in a year. During this stage, children need vital nutrients and personal interaction for their brain to grow properly. Children's brains will expand and become more developed in these early years. Although adults play a huge part in early childhood development, the most important way children develop is interaction with other children. Children develop close relationships with the children they spend a large period of time with. Close relationships with peers develop strong social connections that can be transferred later in life, even children at an early age have a preference of whom they want to interact with or form friendships with. Howes (1983) reshearch suggested that there are distinctive characteristics of friendships, for infants, toddler and pre-school aged children.[9]
Other definitions[edit]
According to National Association for the Education of Young Children, early childhood spans the human life from birth to age 8.

At the beginning of the enlightenment there was debate among many scientists whether it would be profitable to pursue pure mathematics. Diderot was one of the most vocal opponents of pure mathematics as a research program during this period. Diderot believed that pure mathematics had reached the limit of its development and scientists should instead turn their attention to the study of descriptive sciences such as chemistry, experimental physics, and natural history. Contemporaries of Diderot, notably, D'Alembert and Condorcet argued that Diderot was wrong and that scientist should continue to develop methods in pure mathematics.
This crisis of faith in the power of mathematics during the eighteenth century was strange given the great advances in mathematics that had recently occurred. Part of what caused this pessimism about the future of mathematics was the great success...

surfboards on cj5?
whats the best way to carry a couple surfboards on a cj5?
I was thinking on just putting a pad on the top of the windshield frame & strapping it to that and the rollbar. but i'm not sure if thats enough to hold two 10ft boards since the 2 strap points would be so close to each other. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5163/...657cfb1288.jpg |
The type of pads that slide on instead of wrap around work on the windshield and I "think" I attached my tie downs to the sun visors. Got 10 and 9 ft longboards :) never had a problem! Guess you could make another form of a tie down around the fins down the mounts on the hood maybe?
this might help out. i would try nailing some 2'4s in the shape of a square that sits flush against the tail gate on the inside of the tub, and is level with the roll bar. it looks you might gain another few feet and it might be more secure.

CytRx says that its subsidiary RXi Pharmaceuticals licensed RNAi intellectual property for all therapeutic applications from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS).
The agreement includes an exclusive therapeutic license with rights to sublicense for nanotransporters, which have been shown to deliver intact RNAi to a number of tissues in animal models. The licenses are contingent upon RXi's receipt of working capital funding in the coming months.
Tariq M. Rana, Ph.D., professor and founding director of the program in chemical biology at UMMS and developer of the nanotransporters, reported activity with RNAi delivered with nanotransporters in mouse models at 1 milligram per kilogram. The nanotransporters are highly uniform in structure and are readily formulated by simply mixing with RNAi compounds.
The RXi licensed technology also includes compounds for the potential treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis that can be delivered locally to the central nervous system. In addition, the technology includes methods of targeting point mutations with RNAi that may be useful in targeting mutations that cause certain cancers and genetic diseases.
Policy proposals to address the growing global problem of fake medicines include a global agreement, similar to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and stricter national laws to prosecute those who knowingly sell counterfeit medicines. Do you think these steps will be successful?

Crews Battle Wind-Whipped Wildfire In Scenic Arizona Canyon
Send a link to a friend Share
[May 22, 2014] By David Schwartz PHOENIX (Reuters) - A major wind-whipped fire burned through a popular scenic canyon in Arizona on Wednesday, ballooning to 4,500 acres and threatening about 300 residences and businesses, fire officials said.
About 500 firefighters were battling the so-called Slide Fire late on Wednesday afternoon and more than 3,000 residents from two subdivisions were put on alert for possible evacuation near Oak Creek Canyon, about 120 miles north of Phoenix. An undetermined number of residents along a 2-mile (4-km)stretch near the canyon had already been evacuated, officials said. They said the blaze was burning about 3 to 4 miles from the nearest residence. "The fire has really been active and very aggressive," said Brady Smith, a Coconino Forest Service spokesman. "We really have a big job on our hands."
Smith said sustained winds with gusts of up to 35 miles per hour (56 km per hour) caused the blaze to roar. The fire, which has been creeping up steep canyon walls and at one point eclipsed the canyon rim, is at zero percent containment. Crews are stationed above and below the fire, which has been moving to the north. Additional personnel were expected to arrive, including an elite Type 1 incident management team that was to deploy on Wednesday night. The fire, believed to be human-caused, broke out at about 4 p.m. on Tuesday north of Slide Rock State Park, a popular recreation area.

Trip Start
Aug 08, 2008
Trip End
Oct 12, 2008
Where I stayed
Saturday I met my parents in San Jose. I'd been thinking about taking a day trip to Cartago, to see the legendary statue of La Negrita that, according to lore, has been stolen many times but always reappears in its rightful spot at the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Los Angeles. Or maybe I'd take in a museum or two in San Jose. I had a free ride in the morning with Alex to the Hotel LeBergerac, where I was to meet my parents that night, and I figured I could drop my luggage and go do something productive with the day. But when I got there, it was threatening rain, and to my surprise I was able to get into the room almost right away. Since I'd had so much fun doing nothing the previous weekend, I decided to do it again.
We're on the tour with a couple my parents' age from Texas, and for the first leg of the tour in Tortuguero we're also with a (literal) boatload of other tourists, many of them from Spain. There's one particularly obnoxious couple that can't seem to go twenty minutes without a cigarette; they lit up at the breakfast table yesterday morning (right under the bilingual-with-a-picture "No Smoking" sign) while I was still eating, and again on the riverboat through the wildlife preserve known as the Biological Corridor, which recently linked the once segregated ecosystems of separate national parks in an effort to minimize inbreeding (but which has become a delicate ecosystem of its own as species encounter each other for the first time in many generations.) When reminded by the guide that smoking was not permitted (duh!) they grudgingly pitched their butts into the water. I would have liked to do the same.
It seems nature can take out the Eurotrash itself, though; this morning, on the jungle walk I skipped, I hear a wasp got into her hair. It was a non-stinging variety, and the guide told her so, but she was still pretty freaked out. Apparently he remarked that "it is said they only attack people with bad thoughts." I'm a little sorry I missed that.
I decided to skip the walk because I was exhausted after getting up at five a.m. the last two mornings (Sunday was the drive up to Tortuguero, and this morning was an asscrack of dawn wildlife boat tour) and I needed a nap more than I needed another slog through the jungle. We did a lot more nothing this afternoon, mostly hanging out in the pool, and tonight we went down to the beach in search of sea turtles.
We were warned to keep our expectations low. The thirty-dollar per-person price tag did not guarantee us a turtle sighting, they said. Also, it was raining shortly before we left, so I was bracing myself for two hours of sitting on the beach getting wet and seeing nothing.
They've recently implemented a spotter program, however, that increases the odds. Instead of leading a long line of tourists in a blind search that scares away most of the turtles thinking about nesting on the beach, they now have a network of trained locals who explore the beach with dim red flashlights and radio back to the central area when they spot a turtle digging. Once she's chosen a spot, a turtle is less likely to abandon the nest, and will only do so if she feels the threat is imminent. Through good fortune and this ingenious program, we were able to see just about everything there is to see in the whole process.
We observed, in silence and in shifts by the dim glow of a flashlight, a turtle laying eggs into the hole she'd dug. The eggs looked like soft, slimy ping-pong balls, and she was dropping them at a rate of about one every five or ten seconds. Our guide tells us that each turtle lays between 80 and 120 eggs in each nest, and nests about five times per season. Ninety-nine percent of eggs hatch and make it to the water, but only one or two out of every five hundred survives to adulthood, so that's about one reproducing individual per female per season. It takes about thirty years for a turtle to reach reproductive age, and no one knows exactly how long they breed or live after that.
The turtles hatch about sixty days after the eggs are laid, but the season is long enough that, in one night, we were able to see eggs being laid and hatching. Well, we didn't actually see them hatch, but we did catch one baby turtle scuttling back to the sea. They usually go together; the first ones wait for the rest before they all climb out of the nest and journey en masse to the ocean, so this one must have been a straggler.
It was tiny. The normal dimpling of the sand made for a mountainous trek, but the baby turtle scampered over it with surprising speed. At one point, after it had reached the sand smoothed by the receding tide, it appeared to be home free, until it hit the heel impression of a footprint running parallel to the shore. The little turtle fit entirely within the width of the heel, and struggled mightily to climb back out; for a second, it looked like it wasn't going to make it. But with its flippers spinning like toy propellers, it heaved itself out of the hole and into the waves.
We were then herded over to another mama turtle, who had finished laying her eggs and was in the process of camouflaging and aerating the nest. They like to cover the eggs with lots of loose soil so oxygen can still get in, and they typically dig them right where the sand meets the fertile soil, so they're partially in the shade. First they cover the nest with sand using their hind flippers, then they smooth and fluff the whole area using their longer, stronger, more flexible front flippers. We were warned not to stand directly behind them, lest we get a faceful of dirt. As it was, I had clumps of it hit my legs up to my knees. It was pretty cool, actually. How many people can say they've been hit with dirt thrown by a green sea turtle?
Satisfied with her nest, the turtle began the trek back to the ocean. At 300 pounds, she had a tougher time of it than the baby; she would push herself forward with her flippers for about ten feet, then stop to rest for a few seconds before continuing. We crept behind her, our eyes straining into the near-darkness as the guide kept the faint red light trained on her backside and I caught an occasional glimpse of her head bobbing in the moonlight.
