Imam Taymiyyah on Fighting With Infidels
July 26, 2012 Leave a comment
Before I begin, I want to assert that reproducing someone's work on this blog doesn't necessarily mean endorsing or propagating any idea or belief. This blog post should only be considered as academic in nature. And as a reference to this blog it should only be reproduced further for academic purpose only.
Professor Abu Zahrah of Egypt in his book "Imam Ibn Taymiyyah" (the Urdu translation of which has been produced by Naib Hussain Naqwi) summarieses the opinion of Imam Taymiyyah on fighting with infidels in the following terms:
On the first question as to whether it is permissible to fight the disbelievers on the ground of their disbelief or on that of their tyranny and transgression, the Imam refers to two schools of thought among the Ulema. The first school holds that according to Imam Malik, Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Imam Abu Hanifah and others, and the majority of of Ulema and Aimmah, fighting with disbelievers is allowed only if they are bent upon oppressions and tyranny. From this opinion it follows that waar with infidels is not permissible in any other circumstances.
Consequently, fighting can be resorted to as a defensive measure or in response to aggression, even if it turns out to be a case of emergency. But in such a fight only the active comatants or their inciters will be killed, and women, achorites, and disabled or old people, who neitherparticipate in the fighting nor exhort others to do so, will not be slain, In brief, the disbeliever who does not take up arms, does not urge others to fight and is not guilty of any hostile act in connection with the war shall not be put to death.
The second school is of the opinion that war with the disbelievers is grounced on their disbeliever. That means that fighting is obligatory with them simply because they are infidels not because they are inclined to turanny. This is to be creed of Imam al-Shafi. Therefore, under this principle, every disbeliever who has attained majority and discretion would be deserving of capital punishment, irrespective of whether he is capable of fighting or not, whether he is himself on the war path or not and whether he is actively assisting his comrades (the disbelievers) to pursue the fight or not.
In this regard, Imam Ibn Taymiyyah considers the first opinion, viz., the opinion of the majority, to be correct and, in support of his position cities authorities from the Quran and Sunnah.

Regulatory fines hit £1.47bn in UK
The UK Financial Conduct Authority increased its regulatory penalties by 2.5x in 2014, taking the total paid out by the financial services industry to £1.4bn (€2bn), according to a report published by Kinetic Partners, a division of Duff & Phelps.
Other key points noted include:
• Individuals were fined a total of £2.9m by the UK's financial services regulator in 2014, down from £4.99m in 2013;
• The FCA imposed 46 fines during the 2013/14 fiscal year – down from 51 issued by the FCA's predecessor, the Financial Services Authority (FSA), in 2012/13 and 83 in 2010/11;
• Average values of fines issued by the FCA in 2014 were two and a half times higher than in 2013, at £36.79m compared to £9.88m in 2013. This is indicative of a trend in recent years, as the average monetary sanction has increased by more than 1,800% since 2009, when the average FSA fine was £20.7m.
Monique Melis, managing director and global head of Regulatory Consulting at Kinetic Partners, said: "2014 saw a significant spike in the severity of financial penalties virtually across the board, as regulators have been getting tougher on both firms and individuals. However, the averages only tell part of the story as they have been pushed up by a relatively small number of historic fines, mainly relating to Libor and Forex manipulation. We are now entering an era of regulatory enforcement in which the 'new normal' consists of exceptionally severe penalties and a growing focus on individual bad actors, the aim of which is to impact and change the culture of firms."
The trend is set to continue in other jurisdictions too, the report suggests.
In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a record number of enforcements in 2013/14 at 755, up from 686 in the previous fiscal year. Penalty values increased too, with SEC sanctions of $4.6bn in 2013/14 against $3.4bn in 2012/13.
In Hong Kong, the Securities and Futures Commission issued HK$62.8m (€7.2m)in fines in 2014, compared to HK$40.7m (€4.7m) in 2013.
Julian Korek, head of Compliance and Regulatory Consulting at Kinetic Partners, added: "Actions against individuals are likely to play an increasingly integral role in regulators' efforts to deter bad behaviour. Such sanctions are an undeniably powerful deterrent as, unlike financial penalties imposed on firms, they cannot be written off as a business cost. Regulatory leadership in the UK recognises that an organisation's senior management is not necessarily able to police staff at all levels, so holding the bad actors themselves accountable is a step towards influencing institutional culture in the right direction. However, there is also a real risk that the targeting of individuals could reduce the attractiveness of financial services as a career. As always, it is a balance that regulators need to strike."

Lisa Brown is the author of The Porter's Wife and its sequel, The Seeds of Sorrow.
Reviewed by Cheryl E. Rodriguez for Readers' Favorite
Weddings, births, pursuits of better lives in a post war depression, aging parents and death are the seeds sown in The Seeds of Sorrow. One family's story is told, spanning through generations - children grow up, get married, dream dreams and follow them. Lisa Brown's The Seeds of Sorrow centers on the life of Agnes Craig. Agnes was a young child when her family traveled from England to Winnipeg, Canada. Whatever memories she had from her distant childhood home have now faded. Agnes matured into a practical, hard-headed, sarcastic "take charge gal." Agnes loves to be busy; she never acts spontaneously or on a whim, believing nothing good comes from change. Agnes marries Art, who suffers from "shell shock" after serving in WWI. He is haunted by the demons of war. "Every memory plays out in detail, tormenting his soul with exact precision." Agnes was determined; she would support Art, no matter what happened. They live in a time and in a land of extremes. In a blink of an eye, the path of their lives changes drastically. God alters their direction, "with no explanation, no apology." Can forgiveness and unconditional love piece together their fragmented and broken lives? Will there be an end or only another doorway in time?
The Seeds of Sorrow is the continuing story of the characters from Lisa Brown's The Porter's Wife. The novel is figuratively written, full of insightful and passionate descriptions, and romantic and poignant language. Lisa Brown reveals her love for her native homeland as she writes of the extreme nature and beauty of Canada. Her appreciation for history shines through as well as she depicts the harsh reality of the economic crash after World War I. Being a student of the effects of PTSD on today's soldier, I was very impressed with her portrayal of PTSD (shell shock) in Art Craig's character. Lisa Brown paints a sad, but true-life illustration of the never-ending trauma for the war veteran and his family. The characters in The Seeds of Sorrow develop and arc with dynamic precision. Its plot ebbs with waves of familial warmth and love and then crashes unexpectedly with the gale forces of grief and despair. The ending was brutal, certainly not a happily ever after resolution. Therefore, I am hoping that Lisa Brown has one more story in her, making this saga a trilogy of triumph.

DeepSleep Shield
Does anyone know if the deepsleep shield impacts the operation of the LiPo charger on the Expansion Board? i.e. if this is enabled, does it disable the LiPo charger onboard?
I just tested this. I have a LoPy on a 18650 battery (via an expansion board), with a current shunt inline to monitor battery current.
Control test: Without DeepSleep shield:
While connected to USB, I observed charging current going into the battery. If I unplug the USB, then the battery discharges: 100mA for active Wifi, 35mA w/o Wifi, and 10mA for disabled WiFi and
With DeepSleep shield:
Using the "deepsleep" library with the DeepSleep shield, and connected via USB, I put the device to sleep. The charging current for the battery was unchanged. I then disconnected the USB, and the current draw from the battery dropped below 1mA. I can't measure much lower than that with my setup.
The DeepSleep board works as expected with batteries.

I don't have a deep sleep shield yet but there really should be no problem, the deepsleep shield (like the LoPy) comes after the power multiplexer while the charger chip is before it
ledbelly2142 last edited by
Interesting questions, I also would like to know the answer. If you have a Lopy that is plugged into a power source (e.g. via USB power only) and the LoPy is set to deep sleep with deep sleep shield, will an attached 3.7v LiPo battery be charged?
I don't have a deep sleep shield to test this with yet.

Mount Hermon
Mount Hermon dominates the view in the northern Golan as it is snow capped for many months of the year. Most of the Hermon lies in Syria and Lebanon.
Mount Hermon is famous as Israel's ski resort – albeit a small one by comparison with European or American standards and one that in some seasons suffers from insufficient snow fall.
Mount Hermon is also well known as the eyes of Israel – because of its strategic importance defending Israel and as a forward observation point towards Lebanon and Syria. It was the scene of some famous battles especially in 1973.
It is worth visiting Mount Hermon even if there is no snow, because of its unique attraction and beauty. The ski resort is now trying to create an all year round attraction with scenic rides on the ski lift and extreme sports. There are guided walks from the top of the ski-lift to see some of the views and nature. It is incongruous to see the huge artificial snowman and the snow ploughs when the temperature is in the mid 30's in August!
There are many walks in the Hermon National Park, but, due to the sensitive position it is hard to give guidance here. Please remember that you are in a sensitive border area, so don't be tempted to stray from the road and footpaths (there are minefields.) Obey the signs and the instructions of the soldiers in the area. Often it is preferred to target the trails away from the peak areas such as the Banias, The Saar Waterfall and Stream and of course nearby is the impressive Nimrod's Fortress – all worth a visit in their own right.
See the Hermon & Northern Golan Photo Album.
Druze Villages near Mount Hermon
There are three principal Druze towns – Majdal al Shams (Tower of the Rising Sun), Masaada & Ein Kunya. The Druze are very friendly, but, please respect their customs. There are a number of restaurants (not Kosher), in Majdal al Shams there is an impressive statue of Sultan Pasha al-Atrash who led the rebellion against the French in 1915, and in Ein Kunya there is a tomb that is attributed to Jethro (Moses' father in law.) The Druze also sell very tasty seasonal fruit from road side stores – it is the worth travelling especially to Golan for the cherries and honey.
Accommodation near Mount Hermon
The village of Neve Ativ has many small hotels and simmers. As Neve Ativ operates the ski resort it is often possible to get packages. There are also some zimmers in the Druze Villages. The distances are not huge – so any accommodation in the Northern Golan will be reasonably close to Mount Hermon.
Getting to Mount Hermon
At the end or Road 98. Explore the Druze town of Majdal al Shams and then climb on Road 98. It is quite a long drive, but the views are well worthwhile.

Face-Off on Stocks: Jakks Pacific, Hasbro, Mattel [Video]
But whether that makes toymaker stocks a buy at these levels -- and at this point in the holiday season -- is a much tougher call. Toy stocks are, after all, seasonal. Christmas comes the same time every year, therefore toy stocks allegedly discount this months in advance.
Shares in Jakks Pacific (JAKK), for example, have jumped 25% in the last three months, helped in no small part by a beat-and-raise third-quarter earnings report on better-than-expected sales. Jakks also approved a $30 million share buyback program. But the rally has the stock trading at fat premiums to its own five-year average on both a forward and trailing earnings basis, according to data from Thomson Reuters, making valuation a concern.
Mattel (MAT), the No. 1 toymaker, has seen its shares rally 24% over the past three months on a host of catalysts. The company is expecting record profits this year, and Wall Street sees accelerating single-digit revenue growth through 2011. Activist investor Carl Icahn shook things up by taking a stake in Mattel. And the company hiked its dividend and pledged to buy back another $500 million in stock.
Like Hasbro, Mattel's valuation isn't particularly compelling, but analysts' expectations certainly are. Take Wall Street's average price target, add in the 3.2% yield on the dividend, and you get an implied upside of nearly 20% in the next 12 months or so.
For the bull and bear cases on Jakks, Hasbro and Mattel, see Face-Off on Stocks above.

I got my hands on a pair of old church pews, but I'm not sure what wood it is. Can anyone help ID it?
[Below] I scraped and sanded a piece of one of the boards to get a look at it. I have a few suspicions of what it might be, but I'm no wood specialist.
One of the reasons I got these pews is that the wood was splitting along its grain. While cleaning it up, it seemed a bit splintery, sort of like the dark walnut I have.
[EDIT] I might mention that these pews predate 1985 for sure. My feeling is that they are from the 1960's or older.
[Below] Here's a look at the end grain.
[EDIT] Adding two shots of the edge grain from 2 different angles.

Thomas Sowell:
The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs and the media constantly taking cheap shots at the police.
Those cheap shots are in fact very expensive shots, not only to the police themselves but to the whole society. Someone once said that civilization is a thin crust over a volcano. The police are part of that thin crust. We have seen before our own eyes, first in Ferguson, Missouri and then in other communities, what happens when there is just a small crack in that crust, and barbarism and arson burst out.

Went with Zach and Phyllis to a great performance by Steve-O at Tommy T's last night. It was a great time!
My son Zachary has been taking his first "official" computer science class this year. They have been working with a number of 3D modeling tools and other graphics packages to create assets. He has also really used and mastered Apple's Garage Band Tool for creating and syncing audio tracks.
The latest programming they have been doing is in Adobe Flash (Action Script).
The other night at the local Apple Computer Store in Walnut Creek, his teacher, Mrs. MacDonald, had all of the students present their programs up on a big screen in front of all the parents. It was a really nice venue for the event and Apple gave the young programmers free T-shirts. It was really cool to geek out with the kids.
Zach authored and demonstrated several of his projects including an Animated Escalade car (like his mother's real one HA) and a game that he built called Duck Shoot.
I love to see this story on the new so called Bipartisan Stimulus Package.
WASHINGTON – Financial institutions that received federal bailout money and paid large executive bonuses would be required to compensate taxpayers under the economic stimulus bill approved by the Senate.
The $838 billion measure includes an amendment penalizing companies that paid bonuses greater than $100,000 to executives after receiving government rescue funds last year. The amendment would require the companies to repay within four months any portion of the bonus above $100,000 or face an excise tax of 35 percent on the portion of the bonus above $100,000.
The Senate approved the stimulus bill 61-37 on Tuesday, setting up negotiations with the House, which passed a slightly different version last week.

This is more the kind of work we need on these Wall Street rascals. I say get all the money back that you can and make them pay through the nose!
Its been a while since I have posted to my blog. I am thankful for the opportunity to do so.
Just like the Obama's after a few months of very trying times for our family it was high time to pay off that HUGE family debt…
Welcome to the family! Lily is our new dog!
We all love her!
Today, Friday August 8 2008, my office (like many large corporate cultures) has casual Fridays for dress code (jeans, etc.). I thought this video from the series Retarded Policeman by Mediocre Films was a funny spoof on this silly corporate tradition that I would share with my friends.
I was reminded again this weekend that I have a kid growing into a teen. We took Olivia to her Jonas Brothers concert in Hershey, PA.
Funny thing was that Miley Cyrus appeared on the Today Show on Friday 7/25 just outside the window where I work. Had she not wanted to get up that early on her summer break, she would have wanted to go to that as well. I had forgotten what it was like to have teens in the house.
We took a boat ride from the Hudson River last Saturday over to the East River to view Olafur Eliasson's "New York City Waterfalls".
I was a little skeptical but it was actually a very interesting display for a hot summer day. I highly recommend it.
Just got back from a great family vacation to the Caribbean on Carnival Cruise Lines (more on that later). My favorite place was in our last port of call Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
Dunn's River Falls is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica and a major Caribbean tourist attraction. The falls empty into the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the very few rivers in the world that actually fall directly into the sea.
The waterfalls are staggered and span some 600 feet, several small lagoons exist interspersed between the vertical sections of the falls. Climbing up the waterfalls is a popular tourist activity and is often, but not exclusively performed with the help of tour guides from the park. The falls can be walked up with relative ease, often a human chain is used snaking up the falls behind the tour guide.
Great fun and highly recommended if you are ever there!

Friday marked another school year in the books for my kids. Olivia finished up 7th grade at Liberty Middle School and will attend next year as an 8th grader. Zachary finished up as a 6th grader and will attend Liberty Middle school with his sister next year as a 7th grader.
We celebrated the passing of another year with a ritual we have done for several years now — a bonfire party for all the kids to burn their homework. It has become quite a tradition with a large bonfire a barbeque, fireworks and of course boxes and boxes of old homework.
It's amazing that Nintendo Wii has done what they have with clearly a lesser technical platform (compared to XBOX and Playstation 3). They continue to innovate with superior interaction with the release of Mario Kart for Wii.
The kids and I bought this new game on Saturday and spent a good deal of the weekend playing it with them. We had a blast!
It uses a steering wheel that embeds the Wii remote control into it. You hold the steering wheel in mid-air turning it to play the game. It is a very immersing experience to drive the carts or motorcycles in the game. Although the graphics are clearly not as good (since they are standard definition compared to the high definition capabilities of the XBOX or PS3) I still really enjoyed the feeling of competing and playing in that way with "real" people.
My wife, Phyllis, and I are both looking very foward to the Wii Fit title that comes out on May 21.

Great advice - thanks Richard!
Great reminder Richard. When my dad had his store we did the "vender recap" every year (usually in the fall). It allowed us to not only be aware of who did what, but also made the ones that increased their fees (for whatever reason; if any) stand out and put us in a better position to negotiate better contracts. Regardless of the store size; Expense control is what keeps you in the game for generations.. Great post.
These "Automotive Management Minute" video clips from Richard Bustillo have each contained genuine best practices for the management of a car dealership... This video on expense control and supplier management process is priceless. I guarantee you that any dealership where the General Manager takes to heart what is in this clip and implements the process described by Richard will save thousands of dollars per month... Maybe even enough money to afford to hire a full time dedicated Digital Marketing Manager!
Very good, Richard!

Council ban on atheist websites
This is incredible:
A city council has blocked its staff from looking at websites about atheism. Lawyers at the National Secular Society said the move by Birmingham City Council was "discriminatory" and they would consider legal action. The rules also ban sites that promote witchcraft, the paranormal, sexual deviancy and criminal activity.
The city council declined to comment on the possible legal action, but said the new system helped make it easier for managers to monitor staff web access.
The authority's Bluecoat Software computer system allows staff to look at websites relating to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and other religions but blocks sites to do with "witchcraft or Satanism" and "occult practices, atheistic views, voodoo rituals or any other form of mysticism".
So us atheists are no better than sexual deviants and Satanists according to Birmingham City Council?!

SRINAGAR, India (AFP) – Indian and Pakistani troops exchanged fire across their disputed border in Kashmir on Tuesday (Sept 20), two days after a deadly raid on an army base that New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militants.
Eighteen soldiers died in Sunday's attack, which was the worst of its kind to hit the divided Himalayan region in more than a decade and has increased hostility between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
Indian army spokesman Colonel Rajesh Kalia said there had been a "ceasefire violation" near Uri, where Sunday's attack took place, but gave no details. Uri is near the Line of Control (LoC) which divides the disputed territory.
"Small-arms exchange of fire is on in the area," a senior police officer told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Separately, Kalia said troops in the same area had blocked an attempt by suspected militants to cross the LoC into Indian-administered Kashmir.
"A group of 10-12 terrorists attempted to infiltrate the Uri sector. They were intercepted and the infiltration bid was foiled," he told AFP.
The Press Trust of India news agency said 10 suspected militants had been killed in the incident but this could not immediately be confirmed.
India regularly accuses its arch-rival of arming and sending rebels across the heavily militarised border that divides Kashmir between the two countries, to launch attacks on its forces.
Occasional violations of a 2003 ceasefire between the nuclear-armed rivals are not uncommon. The last was reported on Sept 6 this year and caused no casualties.
Tuesday's exchange was the first since Sunday's attack, which the Indian army has blamed on Pakistan-based militant group Jaish-e-Mohammad.
The same group was implicated in an audacious assault on an Indian air force base in Pathankot in the northern state of Punjab in January. It left seven soldiers dead and dashed hopes of a revival of peace talks, which have been on ice ever since.
The death toll from Sunday's attack in which gunmen hurling grenades stormed a base was particularly high at 18, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has vowed to punish those responsible.
Modi promised during his election campaign to take a hard line over Kashmir and has faced calls from army veterans – and even some in his own party – for military action against Pakistan.
On Sunday Home Minister Rajnath Singh accused Pakistan of "continued and direct support to terrorism and terrorist groups" and called for it to be internationally isolated.
But security experts say India lacks the military capabilities to take on its neighbour in the divided Himalayan region, already tense after weeks of violent clashes between police and demonstrators protesting at Indian rule.
Kashmir has been split between India and Pakistan since the end of British rule in 1947. Both claim the disputed Himalayan territory in its entirety and have fought two wars over it.
Several rebel groups have fought an estimated 500,000 Indian forces deployed in the territory, demanding independence for the Muslim-majority region or its merger with Pakistan.
Tens of thousands of people have died in the fighting, most of them civilians.

Jalama Beach trip May 2006
Jalama Beach....my mommy's favorite place to go camping. We go at least twice a year! I love it because I can run up and down on the beach chasing my ball, birds and running with mommy! I get very sleepy when we go there and usually want to go inside the tent right when it gets dark.

As the year starts I find myself engaged in the first real big home improvement project of my 9+ years of home ownership, the same month as I am on the brink (I hope) of selling my first place.
While this morning, when I met with my realtor, my condo was fairly clean and well organized, now as I type this, I am surrounded by piles and dust from a hard day's work.
Tomorrow we finish what we started today, then we spackle, sand, and put down primer, perhaps also paint. It will be a long and busy afternoon tomorrow, but at the end my condo will look better than it has ever today.
So back to today – after my morning meeting with my realtor, I then spent the rest of the morning going through three of my last "random" boxes of personal files, business files, and other random objects. As I finished with the last of these boxes (a blue milkcrate which held a rather random mix of papers from 6 years ago mixed with projects from a few months back) the handyman/cleaning man whom I had hired arrived.
Vincent (of the appropriately named "Vincent's Obsessive Cleaning") is a very good friend and former roommate of the husband of a good friend of my girlfriend (whose wedding we attended a while back and with whom we spent New Year's Eve). Today, however, rather than cleaning (other than some light dusting), we decided to spend the afternoon stripping the wallpaper which was (great phrase – was…) on the walls of my kitchen.
I should describe this – it is hard to believe. It was an off-yellow striped wallpaper with small flower details, then topped by a horrible floral border. All laid so badly that (at least on some walls) the seams were peeling and clearly visible.
This had hung on the walls when I purchased the condo, I had always planned on redoing the whole kitchen, however my finances for the past few years as well as time availability prevented ever doing that (plus I really want a gas burner and in the high rise I live in that is not possible). So I have lived with some of the ugliest wallpaper possible for the past 9+ years.
But no more. It is all down, including the underlayers of two other wall papers (which were more like cardboard with a white checker pattern!). Sure, it took us 7 hours, three people, $50 in supplies and a lot of sweat but we go it all down. Tomorrow we get the remaining bits of paper and all the massive amounts of glue.
This evening, after we finished with the stipping for now, Julia and I went to Home Depot, where we bought more there than I have ever before – two gallons of paint matched to the current cabinets, primer, brushes, dropcloths, spackle, sandpaper, a new fire extinguisher, a new smoke alarm, and new hardware for all of my cabinets (which need it – the old hardware looks to be from the late 70's/early 80's).
Tomorrow we strip glue and paper, spackle, prime and hopefully paint!
Then, when this is all done, when I have paid Vincent, photographed my clean new home, given away various random items to remove them (office supplies, misc. kitchen items, etc) and can relax, it will be time for me to leave Chicago and head back to Berkeley where I start a similar process in reverse.
There I move into a nearly empty and unfurnished rental – we'll be ordering a bed and mattress shortly so I can sleep – and then I'll start finding furnishings one piece and room at a time.
It is a challenge and at times stressful, but also it is exciting and invigorating, somehow perfectly suited to the beginning of a new year. In a few short days I will be in my first new home in almost a decade, and my first home outside of Chicago for over two decades. I'll still follow the Bears in the post-season (contact me if you want an invite to the Chicago expat's party on either the 14th or 15th in the Bay Area) and in my heart I will always hold Chicago close, but I am thrilled at all that awaits us in Berkeley and the Bay Area.
My family has many ties to California, it is the state my mother grew up, my grandparents have always lived there (grandmother in Southern CA and grandfather in Northern CA), where my aunt lives and where my parents met. But there is a vast difference between the occasional visit, mostly to relatives or very close family friends, and living there, spending every day there for weeks, months, hopefully years.
It will be a change, gone will be the dramatic shifts of seasons from the bitter, freezing cold of Chicago winters to the oppressive humid heat of August in Chicago, but with my favorite seasons inbetween where Chicago does get great weather. In its place will be real hills and elevation changes, an ocean instead of a lake, and incrediable diversity and beauty all around me. Sure there are many cars and cookie cutter developments in the suburbs but San Francisco and some of the older communities around it (Berkeley for example but also Oakland) have a rich and old history and tradition of their own as well as amazing restaurants, farmer's markets, artists and activities.
On a professional front there is still no substitution from the easy access and interconnectivity of Silicon Valley. In just over a month there at the end of 2005 I accomplished far more professionally than I had in the past 5 years in Chicago (with the possible exception of pulling off MeshForum). In my short time in CA I greatly deepened and strengthed my relationships with lots of people, I met many new friends, and had a number of exciting opportunities for the future. As these continue into the new year, look here and at my professional blog, piecing IT together for all the details.
Happy New Year and may your year be full of new opportunities, great friendships and opportunities for quiet reflection and engagement.

Little has emerged concerning the third season's 18 episodes, the primary of which is able to air Sunday night on the cable network Showtime, which took the series over from ABC, dwelling of the primary two seasons.

Business agnosticism, for lack of a better phrase, was important: As Variety famous, any tilt towards Burbank," the house of Warner, would shortly undermine EW's credibility.

Our family, like so many center class households, had always had a subscription to Time, and in the future Leisure Weekly began arriving with it. In those early days, it was known as entertainment weekly, and in many ways, it resembled most of the entertainment websites (The A.V. Club, Grantland, Vulture) that dominate the sphere at the moment.

The A46 Lincoln to Newark dualling has been completed ahead of schedule and was given its official opening on Thursday.
The new eight-mile dual carriageway, which cost £28m to build, is expected to bring economic benefits to the region.
Head of Economics for Lincoln City Council Mike Roberts said: "We're all very excited by it - we think it'll be a major asset for the city of Lincoln and connect us to the main A1 or south route".
The new road was opened by Roads Minister David Jamieson.
The Red Arrows performined a fly-past shortly after the cutting of the ribbon.
Next stage
Inspector Les Parker from Lincolnshire Police stressed that while the road will undoubtedly reduce the number of accidents, it must not be abused.
He said: "The new dual carriageway would seem very inviting to go speeding along - but I'd ask people to respect that road, don't turn it into a racetrack."
Consultants are currently drawing up a preferred route for the next stage of the dualling - a £115m scheme between Newark and Widmerpool near the Leicestershire border.
A decision on that proposal is expected next spring, with work starting in 2006 and finishing three years later, if approved.

Every week, more and more bands reach out to us, looking for coverage on the site because they — like you — know we put all others to shame.
This week, we turn out attention to Portland, Oregon, to the progressive death metal stylings of The Odious.
"We would be incredibly grateful if you took the time to listen to our material," the bands writes us. "We are huge fans of Gun Shy Assassin and truly believe that, based on your posts, we share a very similar taste in music."
Hmm. Maybe. I do like what these guys are doing, and you can give them a listen at the end of this post.
I like the progressive nature of their music, but really, this is just innovative death metal that fans of Black Dahlia Murder would appreciate.
We approve of The Odious. They get our stamp of approval, which, in this life, means everything to an up-and-coming band.
Listen and tell us: Do these guys kill, or are they dills?

Ever wondered why there aren't more faces of color in high corporate places? Yeah, me too. A new study from the Center for Talent Innovation, "Vaulting the Color Bar: How Sponsorship Levers Multicultural Professionals into Leadership," has an answer: A lack of relationships with the folks who can help bring us up the ladder. The study lays out key reasons why many talented people of color haven't yet acquired executive positions, and the one the factoid that stood out the most to me was CTI's finding that "people of color too often feel that they have to hide their true selves [at work], a discomfort that breeds two-way distrust and distance." According to the study, more than 35 percent of African-Americans say they "need to compromise their authenticity" to conform to their company's standards of demeanor or style.
I've been there. Two jobs ago, I was one of just two Black women — out of an staff of about 30 to 35 — in the New York office of my company. The other one had me by about 20 years, which means technically, she was old enough to be my mom. To make matters more challenging, I was by far the youngest editor and the only one who lived in Brooklyn, back before it was universally regarded as the best borough ever.
I swear to you I tried to fit in. I popped in my colleagues' offices to strike up random conversations, hoping to stumble upon a mutual interest.
Me: Where do you live in the city? [Classic New York question.]
Her: Upper West Side [or New Jersey]. You?
Me: Brooklyn.
Her: Oh. [Awkward pause.] I went there once.
She said it like a visa was required to enter.
The things that I bonded over with my previous co-workers, all Black—hair salons, music, TV, movies—were off the table. There was no common ground. Nobody knew who Dave Chappelle was, much less had heard of Chappelle's Show. Martin references were out. Gushing over Love Jones? What happened on The Sopranos? No and no. Pop culture was what I thought I knew best, but that line of questioning was building a bridge to nowhere.
There had to be something. I tried current events. That was cut short when my casual observation about the Katrina disaster was summarily dismissed by another editor as "So sad, hmm?" and then it was on to the next topic.
I fell back as much to lick my wounds of rejection as to re-strategize, which meant I mostly stayed in my office, my head buried in a manuscript or my eyes glued to my computer screen. I decided my job wasn't to make friends, but to do work, get paid, then go home.
But after a year, I decided I wanted more money and a better title. My work was good, but it wasn't getting me the lift I desired. There were more Black people at the office by then and we had great relationships. But no one there was in a position to bump me up the ladder. I read a book—Lois Frankel's Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office—about how to get a raise. Frankel said you don't necessarily get promoted because you bury your head and do the work, but because you are liked. So I decided to try again to forge alliances.
I stopped by the HR manager's office to pick his brain since he seemed friendly enough. As we discussed my concerns, I noticed the Broadway Playbills he had recently posted on his wall. An in!
We talked show tunes, then a mutual adoration of Bob Fosse, then Diana Ross. He mentioned that another editor — one with a lot of clout — had similar affections. I caught her after-hours one night as she was celebrating (by popping champagne) with another editor to ask if she'd seen a new show playing, and just like that, I was gabbing with them and swilling bubbly in a plastic cup behind closed doors. It was a turning point.
I didn't get that promotion (even though my supervisor, who had noticed my new disposition, told me I was up for one). Before it could happen, I was offered another job, a dream opportunity. But I stuck around there long enough to learn a great lesson: I could fit in, perhaps if I stopped focusing so much on what my cultural Blackness brought to the table and put a little more focus on the subjects that transcend it. It wasn't about downplaying who I was, more like playing up all aspects of my self and my interests — not just the so-called Black ones.

DIGITALIZATIONFor THE MARINE INDUSTRY
Our solutions focus on providing support to the key process areas which integrate and optimize shipbuilding construction programmes, along with product management, design and engineering, shipbuilding, supply chain management and service support.
Integrated Design
Contemporary shipbuilders must employ the latest technologies to speed up works carried out by the research and development departments to develop new types of floating vessels. Our solutions for the design of ships and yachts enable engineers to make 3D models within the context of main modules of the ship, compartments and equipment while fully using innovative composite materials.
Ship Structure Digitalization
Projects involving the design and production of ships and drilling rigs are complex. Shipyards can optimize production processes and structures at the beginning of new programs and avoid costly constructions of expensive physical models. Our solution allows the production companies to digitally plan and carry out the entire shipbuilding process.
Supply Chain Management
To enable effective design, development, production and testing of new concepts of ships, shipyards use a global supply chain based on partners and sub-suppliers. An integrated and well-managed chain of supplies is of crucial importance when it comes to providing fleets with service and support. Our supply chain management solution paves the way for the continuous, disciplined and systematic process-based reduction of the total costs of purchasing materials, goods and services.
Product Management
Planning and enhancing programmes is of crucial importance for the programming of the earning potential and winning further contracts. Leading shipowners must accelerate deliveries of ships, increase team efficiency and use the best proven practices to minimize the risk. Our approach to program planning and execution systems combines the requirements concerning the costs, schedule and technical requirements.
PLM SOFTWARE for MARINE SOLUTIONS
The PLM solution for the shipbuilding industry solutions employs the latest ship design and engineering technologies while providing a comprehensive approach to this complicated subject.
Ship Structure Design

Marti Roca de Torres - Team partypoker
Name: Marti Roca de Torres
Nationality: Spanish
partypoker screen name: MartiRoca
Winning a bracelet is the perfect way to announce yourself to the poker world. Reigning victorious in the WSOPE Main Event, Rozvadov in November 2017 not only catapulted Marti Roca de Torres into the spotlight but landed him a hefty payday of more than €1M!
A man with three postgraduate degrees, the decision to turn professional was certainly an educated one. Teaching economics during the day and gracing the felt at night, Marti's impressive poker results soon drew his focus away from the classroom.
Despite over €1.3M in live tournament winnings (sitting 13th on the Spanish all-time money list at the time of writing) and €150,000 online, the Spaniard can often be found playing comfortably within his bankroll at the mid-stakes cash game tables. Perhaps this is a sign of maturity, after discovering the game at the relatively late age of 29.
The flexibility cash games provide has allowed Marti the freedom to manage his other responsibilities – namely, as a father to his two daughters! However, he still regularly finds the time to put in long MTT sessions. You can follow Marti's pursuit of yet another major tournament score here!

At Kalani Craig's invitation I had the great pleasure of joining a rockstar cast of instructors for the AHA Getting Started in Digital History workshop series. During my workshop, "Data for Historical Research" (slides below), I cast a pretty wide net.
The general purpose was to:
- recast common historical objects of inquiry (audio, text, video, images) as data
- define data
- highlight the affordances that data offer for extending a research question
- talk about "object essentialism" and what it might cause us to miss
- discuss structured vs. unstructured data
- speak truth about work that goes into cleaning and preparing data
- discuss use cases
- talk about relationship between disciplinary knowledge and technical knowledge
- give resources galore
As always one of the best parts of teaching are the questions you get during and after.
Going to gloss a couple below.
- Doesn't there seem to be continuity between data prep and cleaning in digital scholarship and how Historians have long gathered resources, organized them, and utilized them for analog research?
I would say enthusiastically yes! A great deal of continuity. Whether explicit or implicit, disciplinary training imparts a high degree of technical fluency for working with a wide array of different sources, organizing them, and making sense of them. If I were to highlight one important distinction I would say that the work of cleaning and prepping data for a digital project is predicated on different data formatting requirements depending on the methods and tools you would want to apply to them. So if you wanted to do a bit of topic modeling as well as some network analysis on a set of letters, chances are you are going to need to do different prep work for each. Knowing what this prep work will entail in advance of gathering your data is essential. Best to save as much sanity as possible.
On the note of preserving sanity. When embarking on the data prep phase of a digital project it's best to take small steps. For example if you want to map a correspondence network of 19th century writers, try to prep the data for as small a set of letters that represent the full range of features you want to capture as possible. Say, 10 letters. Map them.
Did it work? Yes? Awesome.
Didn't work? Sads.
Honestly better to realize that your formatting is not working with 10 letters rather than get to the end of a line of 400 letters and try to reverse engineer where you went wrong and why the dang method and tool aren't working for you. Also, personal plug – talk to a librarian they are always happy to help.
- How do you work with people who don't think of their work as digital in nature?
This happens a lot. Whether or not someone thinks of their work as digital, in the best cases, they are generally curious enough to seek me out and ask about x thing that they heard about, or to request my definition of DH. Generally I find the best way to make this interaction beneficial is to ask a lot of questions geared toward what this person is currently researching and what types of research materials they work with. Once you have the research questions in hand it makes it easier to frame utilization of various digital approaches and the methods they encapsulate in a manner that makes sense – optimally this familiarizes an approach like network analysis in such a way that it can be more readily seen as a way of extending a research question rather than as some sparkly spaghetti visualization thing.
Word to the wise, if you are seeking to learn more about DH I'd advise that you lead with your research questions. This will lead to a more productive exchange for all parties!

Burning Scalp Syndrome (Trichodynia) is a disease causing feeling of pain, sometimes itching and burning of the scalp. It appears to affect women three times more than men due to the fact that women have longer hair. There are two theories explaining this disorder. According to the first theory, when there is no hair in follicles, nerves connecting follicles to the nerve system of the brain sends 'pain' signals to the brain. This happens just as in phantom limb pain (pain felt in an organ which does not exist or cut off from the body). Another theory claims that the scalp of these people suffering from the disease have extremely sensitive nerves. When long hair is tied tightly for a long time, the sensitivity increases. Moreover, when hair follicles and scalp can't breathe, these factors result in 'Ponytail Syndrome'. According to the researches, burning scalp syndrome (trichodynia) has a close link to hair loss. However, there isn't certain information about whether which one causes another. Both may trigger one another. A research revealed that 34% of women consulting doctors for hair losses also complain about scalp pain. (Willimann, Trueb)
Reasons of Burning Scalp Syndrome (Trichodynia)
Feeling of being pricked by needles, intense itching, burning and pain on the scalp is thought to be as a result of the tightly-tied hair.
When the hair is tied very tightly, it makes follicles and the scalp difficult to breathe and this causes scalp contraction and hair loss.
Another reason is that long hairs aren't dried enough after shower. Especially, the follicles of which damage risks increase in cold and windy weather lose their strength and cause itching and loss of hair when not dried.
Blow-dry and intense hair conditioner applications are thought to be among the factors triggering burning scalp syndrome. Blow-dry and some hair products cause scalp irritation.
Likewise, people who are allergic to hair dye may suffer from this disease.
Irregular eating habit, vitamins and protein deficiency are also associated with hair health. Especially, vitamin D deficiency increases the chance of suffering from the disease as it weakens hairs.
Although the direct relation between psychosomatic reasons and burning scalp syndrome is not proven, it is thought that depression, stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety cause burning scalp syndrome.
Burning scalp syndrome may be seen in women taking contraceptive pills. Many women reported that the pain passed off when they stopped taking these pills.
Symptoms Of Burning Scalp Syndrome (Trichodynia) And Treatment
People suffering from burning scalp syndrome (trichodynia) feel their scalp burning or being pricked by needles when they touch their scalp. This is the main symptom of this disease. Afterwards, redness, wound on scalp, and hair loss or shedding can be seen. The factors causing this disease should be removed immediately. What should be done is listed below (these can be applied also for the protection).
- There is no certain treatment of this disease. So, at first, the factors causing this illness should be specified and removed. If the problem continues, the patient should consult a dermatologist. Generally, symptoms differ from person to person. So the treatment varies.
- Regular eating habit is important. Foods rich in protein and vitamin such as egg, fish, meat and milk etc. should be eaten so that hair can become stronger.
- Tough and fast diets should be avoided.
- Stress can cause not only burning scalp syndrome (trichodynia) but also other diseases. So, people suffering from this disease should eliminate stress from their life. Some antidepressants under doctor examination are proven to have positive effects on scalp.
- Hormonal problems affect scalp health. Hormonal instability should be treated by doctors.
- Organic products should be applied carefully. Hair products, especially hair gel shouldn't be overused. Leave your hair natural at certain periods.
- Moisturizing shampoos preventing dryness should be preferred.
- Too hot or too cold showers should be avoided. Warm water is ideal for scalp.
- Hairs should be dried with towels, and then with hair dryer.
- Do not go out right after the shower for 2-3 hours. Especially if it is cold, extra attention should be given. Hair should be dry, head and neck should be protected from cold with special accessories.
- Hairs shouldn't be combed roughly and scalp shouldn't be itched severely.
- Hair styles irritating scalp should be avoided. Hairs shouldn't be tied so tightly.
- It is useful to give a massage on scalp delicately at certain periods.
Note: If you suffer from Burning Scalp Syndrome, please consult your doctor in order to learn the right and effective treatment method.

Some artists love to court controversy. Pamela Poletti, an actor and director with a long and varied resume, usually isn't that kind of artist. "I'm really not," she insists, unable to reconcile who she's always been with the dawning possibility that she became an accidental propagandist when she elected to direct Caryl Churchill's 10-minute epic Seven Jewish Children. The show, subtitled "A Play for Gaza," has been praised as a lucid poetic response to the Gaza War and condemned as anti-Semitic blood libel.
Poletti likes words. She's drawn to the works of Shaw and Shakespeare. Her 2006 production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot was a hit at the Ostrander awards. "Maybe I'm naive," she says in response to all the criticism leveled against Seven Jewish Children. "When I read this play, it never occurred to me that it could be so controversial. It only asks one question."
Churchill's abstract meditation on how actual and emotional history is cobbled together from many competing stories and agendas depicts a handful of adults asking, "What will we tell the children?" while alluding to a series of historical, sometimes violent, events beginning with the Holocaust, moving through the creation of Israel, and climaxing with Israel's three-week bombing and invasion of the Gaza Strip, which began three years ago in December 2008.
It wasn't politics that attracted Poletti to the work. She says she responded emotionally as a single mother trying to communicate with her young daughter while going through a fractious divorce.
"Seven Jewish Children," featuring Kimberly Baker, Amy George, Martha Graber, Kim Justis, Bob Klyce, and Andy Saunders, will be performed in Rhodes' McCoy Theatre studio at 7:30 on Thursday, December 1st. Admission is free. The play will be followed by a panel discussion.

Joyce came to New York City to work as actress and to sing with the Shamanic composer Gabrielle Roth in 1980 and ended up recording with Arthur Russell on material from his Flying Hearts period. Arthur began having Joyce improvise vocals on many songs, including: 'Tell You Today', 'It's a Boy', 'The Letter', 'Over the Line', My Tiger' , 'Keeping Up', 'Sunshine Lover', 'Losing My Taste for the Nightlife', Mr. Problems', 'It's a Turn On', and 'Don't Forget About Me'. On tour with Jerry Harrison and the Casual Gods she met Joey Ramone snd they ended up becoming a really good friends so when they returned to New York, they had fun singing together in Joey's side group he called The Resistance. Later Joyce added vocals to David Byrne's "Uh Oh" album , and the Tom Tom Club's "Dark Sneak Love action,". In 1995, she helped found and went on to perform with Raleigh NC's Milagro Saints. Her current band is Bear 54 which was the band Arthur's Landing started out to be. She added melodic intent and vocals to Peter Zummo's recent 'Dress Code' album.
She is pulling together material for a 2018 release on Moon Caravan Records. Her last solo release 'Jolei' was produced by Rick Lassiter from the Goodnight Graces

Most of us can agree that we live too much in our heads. There are so many thoughts to think, so many decisions to make, so much control we need to have! We all want more peace and security, but it can be difficult to feel these things when so much is happening in our minds. Luckily, there is a way to live every day with good
My favorite thing about this work is to listen to what you are asking for from a session, what your body is communicating with it's symptoms, and the direction that your body wants to go once we start working. There is undoubtedly a transformation of energy that happens from the moment you walk into the studio, during the session once tension starts to let go, until that last moment when we have moved enough "stuff" so that I can sit with my hands on your head while you sit in calm meditation - feeling centered and calm in your body, safe in the universe, and nourished by the earth. This is the VIBRATION that I strive to find and share with you in Ensoflow Shiatsu.

Delivering healthcare capability in complex and demanding environments requires deep knowledge of the local context and an ability to rapidly mobilise.
A healthy workforce is critical to ensuring the success of deployed missions or local operations.
The benefits of a healthy workforce are well-documented: productive staff contribute to organisational performance, profitability and can help reduce costs.
Building sustainable health infrastructure needs to take into account the long-term needs of local populations and demonstrate donor ROI.
Whether building health infrastructure or managing existing health programmes, compliance is critical to reducing adverse patient outcomes and minimising financial risk.
Education, training and development improves workforce efficiency and staff retention, and builds local capacity. It also enables organisations to remain compliant.
The gruelling Derby, which is the world's longest horse race, will take place on 6-18 August 2017. Iqarus will be providing frontline healthcare services as part of the deal.
The Derby is an endurance event which extends 1000 km through the Mongolian Steppe and recreates the horse messenger system developed by Chinggis Khaan in 1224.
The 2017 race will include 40 riders representing nine countries, who will travel through challenging terrain including mountain passes, open valleys, woodland, river crossings, wetland and floodplains, sandy semi-arid dunes, rolling hills, dry riverbeds and open steppe. Passing through different elevations, riders can face temperatures varying from -5°C at night to around 35°C during the day.
A team of one doctor and three medics, all with extensive experience in remote environment health provision, will be deployed by Iqarus to match pace with the riders and provide immediate emergency care in the field.
Riders' healthcare challenges can range from the inevitable physical stress associated with 1000 km in the saddle, to acute illness associated with competing in arduous conditions, to potential life-threatening trauma associated with racing semi-wild horses across the remote wilderness.
Iqarus's specialist team will provide clinical advice to prepare the riders for the challenge ahead, and then keep pace with the racing field using a variety of 4x4 and specialist all-terrain vehicles, providing immediate stabilisation and life-saving care to any injured riders in the field.
Evacuation from the field, hospitalisation, and repatriation where required will be provided in association with Iqarus' partners, International SOS, providing a seamless chain of care for any riders who may be injured.
Iqarus provides front-line healthcare services to oil and gas, mining, construction, governmental, and non-profit organisations operating in the Middle-East, North Sea, Africa, Asia and the Americas.
Andrew Hames, chief commercial officer, Iqarus, said: "We are delighted to be supporting what is one of the most high-profile endurance events in the world. The Derby is an incredibly challenging event and our expertise in operating in remote and challenging environments means we are well prepared to offer support in all manner of scenarios.
Alex Stronge, director of Training and Development, Iqarus added: "We naturally wish that each rider is able to complete the challenge without any injury, however, given the conditions, we will be on hand to support and treat any individuals, giving them the comfort of knowing that help will never be far away."
