5th April has now passed and so if you haven't done so already it's time to complete your end of year payroll submission, thanks to Real Time reporting most of the hard work should already be done and so your payroll year end should be straight forwards, as explained in the flow chart below.
Key Dates
19th April 2014 – Deadline for Payroll Year End Return to be submitted to HMRC
31st May 2014 – Deadline for distribution of P60's to employees
6th July 2014 – Deadline for submitting expenses and benefits annual return forms (P11D's & P9D)
19th July 2014 – Deadline for payment of Class 1A NIC's (22nd if you are paying electronically)
Moving onto 2014/15
At first glance it would appear that things should carry on as normal for the next tax year, but key things to thing about are:
- Director owners pay – If you are utilising your national insurance allowances, then you need a pay rise from £641 to £663. Or if you are a director only company contact us to find out how you could save more tax by having a larger salary.
- Don't forget to claim your employers allowance, this is a £2,000 reduction in your Employers National Insurance bill.
- HMRC are now going to charge daily interest on unpaid PAYE in year rather than the old system of charging the interest at the end of a tax year.
- Even if no PAYE/NIC is due you still need to notify HMRC no payment is due, otherwise they will send you an estimated bill.
- From 6th October 2014 it is vital that you make you real time payroll submissions on time as the suspension on late filing penalties for real time will be lifted.
Thanks to real time reporting payroll end of year is a lot simpler than ever before, but there is still a lot to think about and one little error can still result in a penalty from HMRC. We deal with payroll every day and so are more than happy to help anyone, so why not contact us to see if we can improve your payroll system.

Spiritual guide
A spiritual guide is someone who has reached a high level of spiritual mastery and who can guide his or her disciples on the path of inner transformation. They help a disciple to see their mistakes and correct their faults. A spiritual guide has a highly developed intuitive knowledge. They can often directly access the higher spiritual spheres and can instantly know every detail of the past, present and future life of each disciple. They can thus guide them with unfaltering belief.

Buffet is an ongoing trend nowadays and yes I've tried quite a few myself. From Yakimix to Circles, each one has unique cards to play to stand out from the rest. The Food Club is one of the newest buffet establishments located in my new favorite boulevard: Blue Bay Walk, Pasay City.
First things first, this place is a little bit more expensive compared to hyped restaurants such as Vikings. Little over P1200 – correct me if this has changed. But nonetheless the ambiance it offers is top of the line.
In terms of Food Range, their Taco shed adds a nice touch to a broad range of cuisines. Of course the basic ones are there: steak, sushi, salad, pasta, etc. But their winning card is ultimately the unlimited Crab & Shrimp fiasco.
FIRST ROUND: Makis, Pizza, Chicken Skewers, Potato Salad, Quesadilla, Pasta and Tacos. Each kind was deeply satisfying, right balance of seasoning and cooked to perfection. These dishes may be simple but they made sure it wasn't boring.
Below shows their wide variety of cheese that you can either pair with some loaves of bread & ham or eat as is.
SECOND ROUND: I'm a huge Maki Fan so I tried their whole set. I was a bit disappointed that they have such limited choices. I believe all buffets should have a solo table just for Makis!!!
Now for Desserts.
The Dessert table is my favorite pit-stop in any buffet. The Food Club has some ice cream, mini cakes, brownies, etc. I wasn't fond of their ice cream nor their mini-cakes, it all tasted a bit off. The Pistachio ice cream seriously tasted so artificial, no essence of true pistachios! BUT THEN I found heaven in a shot gloss in their Rainbow Mousse. It's light, creamy and its sweetness level is just right. Perfect shot to cap off my night.
The Food Club venue has tons of space, comfortable chairs, etc. The only problem is that the floor is really slippery. I saw a handful of people who slipped (including me). I hope they fix this since there are some seniors who eat here as well.

Aquarium foods are all about replicating the natural diet of fish and Fluval took a cue from nature by using insect larvae in its line of Fluval Bug Bites fish food. Insects are widely available and packed with nutrients, making them a good option.
For Fluval Bug Bites, Fluval uses black soldier fly larvae as the top ingredient. They raise them on fruits and vegetables, just like in nature, to harvest for the Bug Bites. So why are these insects considered a fish "super food"? They provide a high protein, low carb with a great amino acid profile. Plus, with no exoskeleton, they are more easily digestible and have a taste fish seem to like.
To round out the insects, Fluval uses other protein sources like salmon, that is high in Omega 3 and 6 for healthy skin, scales, fins and colors. They also added essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other trace nutrients that are vital to the health of your fish, while avoiding artificial colors and preservatives
Fluval Bug Bites come in four kinds – a tropical fish formula, a cichlid formula, a goldfish formula and a bottom feeder/pleco formula – and start around $5.99 for a 45g jar and some have options for larger size pellets and packages.

Conservapedia, PT II -- Xerxes the Great
Next up, a Conservapedia article on Xerxes the Great, who is described in a few meager lines: "King of Persia, r: 485–465 BC, chose the biblical Esther (Hadassah) as his wife. Depicted in the 2007 film 300 as being approximately 15 feet tall." In fact, he's simply referred to as Xerxes, no honorific -- how anti-Persian.
Now first, Xerxes is only possibly the Ahasuerus mentioned in the Books of Esther and Ezra, nothing definitive there folks. Second, Xerxes was far more important than (maybe) just being the hubby of Esther. He was the son of Darius the Great and grandson of Cyrus the Great; he suppressed revolts in Egypt and Babylon; he brought Egypt under tight control; he invaded Greece, won the Battle of Thermopylae, and then because of his own impatience and misplaced trust in Themistocles lost to the Greeks at Salamis; hell, he even sent one of his military commanders, Sataspes, on a mission to circumnavigate Africa. .
15 foot tall hubby of Esther indeed – but maybe, in the righteous world, that's all that really matters.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Reeling from an unexpected betrayal, can Sylvia find relief from the echoes of her past…or will they shape her future forever?
Although Sylvia Fisher recognizes that most Old Order Amish women her age spend their hours managing a household and raising babies, she has just one focustending and nurturing the herd on her familys dairy farm. But when a dangerous connection with an old beau forces her to move far from home, she decides to concentrate on a new start and pour her energy into reviving another familys debt-ridden farm.
After months in rehab, Aaron Blank returns home to sell his Daeds failing farm and move his parents into an easier lifestyle. Two things stand in his way: the father who stubbornly refuses to recognize that Aaron has changed and the determined new farmhand his parents love like a daughter. Her influence on Aarons parents could ruin his plans to escape the burdens of farming and build a new life.
Can Aaron and Sylvia find common ground? Or will their unflinching efforts toward opposite goals blur the bigger picture a path to forgiveness, glimpses of grace, and the promise of love.

hey guys! ive made a decision. previously, while on this blog, i always used proper grammar and such. however, i feel like that makes me feel like im writing to a professor or teacher or something. i want this blog to be all about my experiences, and i really hate capitalizing and punctuating things, so i decided this is just going to be how i write on my blog now. if you dont like it, im really sorry, but im sticking with my decisions just because it is so much easier to type this way.
now we have that out of the way, you guys might be wondering why the hell im posing so weirdly in front of a wall. yes, yes im asking myself the same thing. the only thing i can come up with now is that i wanted to have one of those really cool instagram photos where girls are just casually posing. yea. didnt work out very well but who cares? it was so fun. speaking of which you guys should totally follow me on instagram for more updates--its the social media platform i use the most, besides chat :>
i actually really adore this photo. its of me and my bestie and i love it to death omg. hehe ignore our awkward poses--ot was genuinely freezing! sigh. the good thing and bad thing about hsinchu is that it has huge winds.
anyways, thats it from me for today,

MY RECOMMENDATION: WHO CARES IF THE NAS IS DOING A AUTOMATIC REBOOT AT SUNDAY 3 o'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND CHECKING 2-3TB OF EXT3 FILESYSTEM? NO ONE!
MAYBE SPEED CAN BE SECOND, UNLESS YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT DATA-LOSS. (temporary storage… but believe me… even a temporary storage contains important files that users feel very angry about if lost)
I believe regular automatic filesystem checks (also of the root filesystem) are a pretty good idea.
So what you SHOULD do is:
1. use ext3 until 2020 than use ext4 or btrfs or whatever has proofen to be reliable on the market for 10 years. (see article "the perfect filesystem")
2. have backups that report via mail if the backup worked or not.
3. let your filesystem be checked if people don't need it – sunday night – once a month.
so the idea is: set partition to be checked – and cron a reboot when there is probably no usage of your server or service.
works with ext3 and ext4 but not with XFS filesystem
tune2fs allows the system administrator to adjust various tunable filesystem parameters on Linux ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystems.
You should strongly consider the consequences of disabling mount-count-dependent checking entirely.
Bad disk drives, cables, memory, and kernel bugs could all corrupt a filesystem without marking the filesystem dirty or in error. If you are using journaling on your filesystem, your filesystem will never be marked dirty, so it will not normally be checked.
A filesystem error detected by the kernel will still force an fsck on the next reboot, but it may already be too late to prevent data loss at that point. (straight from: tune2fs.man.txt)
It is strongly recommended that either -c (mount-count-dependent) or -i (time-dependent) checking be enabled to force periodic full e2fsck(8) checking of the filesystem.
Failure to do so may lead to filesystem corruption (due to bad disks, cables, memory, or kernel bugs) going unnoticed, ultimately resulting in data loss or corruption.
if you use something else than ext3/ext4 you can try the
touch /forcefsck
tune2fs -C 2 -c 1 /dev/sda1; # check filesystem on every boot tune2fs -c 10 -i 30 /dev/sda1; # check sda1 every 10 mounts or after 30 days
you can check that a filesystem check was performed with:
tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | egrep -i "mount count|Check interval|Last|Next"
Last mounted on: /
Last mount time: Tue Jul 4 10:27:35 2017
Last write time: Tue Jul 4 10:06:15 2017
Mount count: 19
Maximum mount count: 10
Last checked: Tue Jun 27 11:05:21 2017
Check interval: 2592000 (1 month)
Next check after: Thu Jul 27 11:05:21 2017
touch /forcefsck
does not seem to relibly force a filesystem check….
force filesystem check
this can only be done on unmounted partitions.
so you would have to boot from a separate partition – in order to unmount (umount) the / root-partition.
this is not possible in init 1 runlevel 1 – maintenance mode.
fsck -y -v -f /dev/sda1
e2fsck 1.43.4 (31-Jan-2017)
/dev/sda1 is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

Today I will solve a new set of technical interview questions, as you may know this is the third post in the How to prepare for an interview. If you have not study the last post please read it here.
Remember you should discuss these solutions with me, and refer if there are mistakes or other good solutions.
21. Design an algorithm and write code to find the first common ancestor of two nodes in a binary tree Avoid storing additional nodes in a data structure NOTE: This is not necessarily a binary search tree.
22. You have two very large binary trees: T1, with Millions of node, and T2 with hundreds of nodes. Create an algorithm to decide if T2 is a subtree of T1.
23. Given a binary tree, in which each node contains a value. Design an algorithm to print all paths that sums to that value. Note that it can be any path in the tree - it doesn't have to start at the root.
24. You are given two 32 bit numbers N and M, and two bit positions i, and j. Write a method to set all bits between i and j in N to M.
(e.g., M becomes a substring of N located at i and starting at j).
Input: N = 10000000000, M = 10101, i = 2, j = 6
Output: N = 10001010100
25. Write a method to generate the nth Fibonacci number.
26. Imagine a robot sitting on the upper left hand corner of N*N grid. The robot can only move in two directions: Right and Down How many possible paths are there for the robot.
27. Same problem at 26, but if there are some blocks in some cells, print out how many paths are there.
28. Write a method that returns all subsets of a set.
29. Write a method to compute all permutations of a string.
30. Implement an algorithm to print all valid (properly opened, closed) combinations of parentheses.
Input: 3
Output: ()()(), ()(()), (())(), ((()))
31. Implement the paint-fill function that one might see on many image editing programs. That is, given a screen (represented by 2 dimension array of colors), a Point, and a new color, Fill in the surrounding area until you hit a border of that color.
Now we have solved all today's problems. I know it were harder than the previous one, But i'm sure you will enjoy solving them, read the next post here.

text: seattlejester 23 Posted September 7, 2015 A regular 5 speed should be a fairly bolt in affair. I think Zhome or Z garage has pictures showing the lack of any difference. There are some slight differences in the ratio's, but physically I want to say it is the same size. Here's one of the cross roads you will have to face. If you are going to a l28et swap, you can try and find a nissan T-5 and the 280zx turbo flywheel and just swap in the engine at a later point. Or if you plan on going with an LS, then there is no need to build up your transmission and clutch flywheel to take additional hp and a regular NA 5-speed and clutch setup will be just fine.

A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid, Arabic: مسجد — Arabic pronunciation: [ˈmæsdʒɪd] (pl. masājid, Arabic: مساجد — [mæˈsæːdʒɪd]). The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the larger, "collective" mosque (Arabic: مسجد جامع, masjid jāmi'), which has more community and social aspects.
The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: صلاة, ṣalāt) as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer.
They have developed significantly from the open-air spaces that were the Quba Mosque and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the 7th century. Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in all inhabited continents.
Grand entryways and tall towers, or minarets, have long been and continue to be closely associated with mosques. However, the first three mosques were very simple open spaces on the Arabian Peninsula. Mosques evolved significantly over the next 1,000 years, acquiring their now-distinctive features and adapting to cultures around the world.
Mosques were built outside the Arabian Peninsula as Muslims moved to other parts of the world. Egypt became occupied by Muslim Arabs as early as 640, and since then so many mosques have appeared throughout the country that its capital city, Cairo, has acquired the nickname of city of a thousand minarets.[1] Egyptian mosques vary in amenities, as some have Islamic schools (madrassas) while others have hospitals or tombs.[2] Mosques in Sicily and Spain do not primarily reflect the architecture of Visigothic predecessors, but instead reflect the architecture introduced by the Muslim Moors.[3] It is hypothesized, however, that there were some elements of pre-Islamic architecture which were Islamicized into Andalusi and Maghribi architecture, for example, the distinctive horseshoe arch.[4]
The first Chinese mosque was established in the eighth century in Xi'an. The Great Mosque of Xi'an, whose current building dates from the eighteenth century, does not replicate many of the features often associated with traditional mosques. Instead, it follows traditional Chinese architecture. It is distinguished from other buildings by its green roof (Buddhist temples are often built with a yellow roof). Mosques in western China incorporate more traditional elements seen in mosques in other parts of the world. Western Chinese mosques were more likely to incorporate minarets and domes while eastern Chinese mosques were more likely to look like pagodas.[5]
By the fifteenth century, Islam had become the dominant religion in Java and Sumatra, Indonesia's two most populous islands. As with Hinduism and Buddhism before it, the new religion and its accompanying foreign influences were absorbed and reinterpreted, with mosques given a unique Indonesian/Javanese interpretation. At the time, Javanese mosques took many design cues from Hindu, Buddhist, and even Chinese architectural influences. They lacked, for example, the ubiquitous Islamic dome which did not appear in Indonesia until the 19th century, but had tall timber, multi-level roofs not too dissimilar to the pagodas of Balinese Hindu temples still common today. A number of significant early mosques survive, particularly along the north coast of Java. These include the Mesjid Agung back in Demak, built in 1474, and the Grand Mosque of Yogyakarta that feature multi-level roofs. Javanese styles in turn influenced the architectural styles of mosques among Indonesia's Austronesian neighbors: Malaysia, Brunei and the southern Philippines.
Mosques diffused into India during the reign of the Mughal empire in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Mughals brought their own form of architecture that included pointed, onion-shaped domes, as seen in Delhi's Jama Masjid. Mughal style became the dominant feature in many of the old mosques in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Mosques first arrived in the Ottoman Empire (mostly present-day Turkey) during the eleventh century, when many local Turks converted to Islam. Several of the first mosques in the Ottoman Empire, such as the Hagia Sophia in present-day Istanbul, were originally churches or cathedrals in the Byzantine Empire. The Ottomans created their own design of mosques, which included large central domes, multiple minarets, and open façades. The Ottoman style of mosques usually included elaborate columns, aisles, and high ceilings in the interior, while incorporating traditional elements, such as the mihrab.[6] Today, Turkey is still home to many mosques that display this Ottoman style of architecture.
Mosques gradually diffused to different parts of Europe, but the most rapid growth in the number of mosques has occurred within the past century as more Muslims have migrated to the continent. Major European cities, such as Rome, London, and Munich, are home to mosques that feature traditional domes and minarets. These large mosques in urban centers are supposed to serve as community and social centers for a large group of Muslims that occupy the region. However, one can still find smaller mosques in more suburban and rural regions throughout Europe where Muslims populate, an example of this is the Shah Jahan Mosque in Woking, the first purpose built mosque in the UK.
There are 40,000 to 50,000 mosques in the United States. Mosques first appeared in the United States in the early twentieth century, the likely first being one in Maine built by Albanian immigrants in 1915. [1] as more immigrants continue to arrive in the country, especially from South Asia, the number of American mosques is increasing faster than ever before. Whereas only two percent of the country's mosques appeared in the United States before 1950, eighty-seven percent of American mosques were founded after 1970 and fifty percent of American mosques founded after 1980.[7]
According to early Muslim historians, towns that surrendered without resistance and made treaties with the Muslims gave the Muslims "permission" to take their churches and synagogues, One of the earliest examples of these kinds of conversions was in Damascus, Syria, where in 705 Umayyad caliph Al-Walid I bought the church of St. John from the Christians and had it rebuilt as a mosque in exchange for building a number of new churches for the Christians in Damascus, overall, Abd al-Malik (Al-Waleed's father) is said to have transformed 10 churches in Damascus into mosques.
The process of turning churches into mosques was especially intensive in the villages where most of the inhabitants converted to Islam. The Abbasid caliph al-Ma'mun turned many churches into mosques. Ottoman Turks converted nearly all churches, monasteries, and chapels in Constantinople, including the famous Hagia Sophia, immediately after capturing the city in 1453 into mosques. In some instances mosques have been established on the places of Jewish or Christian sanctuaries associated with Biblical personalities who were also recognized by Islam.[8]
Mosques have also been converted for use by other religions, notably in southern Spain, following the conquest of the Moors in 1492.[9] The most prominent of them is the Great Mosque of Cordoba. The Iberian Peninsula, Southeast Europe, and India are other regions in the world where such instances occurred once no longer under Muslim rule.
There are two holidays (Eids) in the Islamic calendar, Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha during which there are special prayers held at mosques in the morning. These Eid prayers are supposed to be offered in large groups, and so larger mosques will normally host them for their congregants as well as the congregants of smaller local mosques. Some mosques will even rent convention centers or other large public buildings to hold the large number of Muslims who attend. Mosques, especially those in countries where Muslims are the majority, will also host Eid prayers outside in courtyards or town squares.[10]
Islam's holiest month, Ramadan, is observed through many events. As Muslims must fast during the day during Ramadan, mosques will host iftar dinners after sunset and the fourth required prayer of the day, maghrib. Food is provided, at least in part, by members of the community, thereby creating nightly potluck dinners. Because of the community contribution necessary to serve iftar dinners, mosques with smaller congregations may not be able to host the iftar dinners daily. Some mosques will also hold suhoor meals before dawn to congregants attending the first required prayer of the day, fajr. As with iftar dinners, congregants usually provide the food for suhoor, although able mosques may provide food instead. Mosques will often invite poorer members of the Muslim community to share in beginning and breaking the fasts, as providing charity during Ramadan is regarded in Islam as especially honorable.[11]
Following the last obligatory daily prayer (isha) special, optional tarawih prayers are offered in larger mosques. During each night of prayers, which can last for up to two hours each night, usually one member of the community who has memorized the entire Qur'an will recite a segment of the book.[12] Sometimes, several such people (not necessarily of the local community) take turns to do this. During the last ten days of Ramadan, larger mosques will host all-night programs to observe Laylat al-Qadr, the night Muslims believe that Muhammad first received Qur'anic revelations.[12] On that night, between sunset and sunrise, mosques employ speakers to educate congregants in attendance about Islam. Mosques or the community usually provide meals periodically throughout the night.
During the last ten days of Ramadan, larger mosques within the Muslim community will host i'tikaf, a practice in which at least one Muslim man from the community must participate. Muslims performing i'tikaf are required to stay within the mosque for ten consecutive days, often in worship or learning about Islam. As a result, the rest of the Muslim community is responsible for providing the participants with food, drinks, and whatever else they need during their stay.[12]
The third of the Five Pillars of Islam states that Muslims are required to give approximately one-fortieth of their wealth to charity as zakat. Since mosques form the center of Muslim communities, they are where Muslims go to both give zakat and, if necessary, collect it. Prior to the holiday of Eid ul-Fitr, mosques also collect a special zakat that is supposed to assist in helping poor Muslims attend the prayers and celebrations associated with the holiday.
The late twentieth century saw an increase in the number of mosques used for political purposes. Today, civic participation is commonly promoted in mosques in the Western world. Because of the importance in the community, mosques are used for preaching peaceful co-existence with non-believers, even in times of adversity.
Countries with a minority Muslim population are more likely than Muslim-majority countries of the Greater Middle East to use mosques as a way to promote civic participation.[13] American mosques host voter registration and civic participation drives that promote involving Muslims, who are often first- or second-generation immigrants, in the political process. As a result of these efforts as well as attempts at mosques to keep Muslims informed about the issues facing the Muslim community, regular mosque attendants are more likely to participate in protests, sign petitions, and otherwise be involved in politics.[13]
Nevertheless, a link between political views and mosque attendance can still be seen in other parts of the world.[14] Following the al-Askari Mosque bombing in February 2006, imams and other Islamic leaders used mosques and Friday prayers as vehicles to call for calm and peace in the midst of widespread violence.[15]
As they are considered important to the Muslim community, mosques, like other places of worship, can be at the heart of social conflicts.
Babri Mosque was the subject of such a conflict up until the early 1990s when it was demolished. Before a mutual solution could be devised, the mosque was destroyed by approximately 200,000 Hindus on December 6, 1992 as the mosque was built by Babur allegedly on the site of a previous Hindu temple marking the birthplace of Ram.[16] The controversy surrounded the mosque was directly linked to rioting in Bombay (present-day Mumbai) as well as bombings in 1993 that killed 257 people.
A February 2006 bombing that seriously damaged Iraq's al-Askari Mosque, exacerbated tensions that had already existed. Other mosque bombings in Iraq, both before and after the February 2006 bombing, have been part of the conflict between the country's groups of Muslims. However, mosque bombings have not been exclusive to Iraq; in June 2005, a suicide bomber killed at least 19 people at an Afghan Shia mosque near Jade Maivand.[17] In April 2006, two explosions occurred at India's Jama Masjid.
Following the September 11 attacks, several American mosques were targeted in attacks ranging from simple vandalism to arson.[18] Furthermore, the Jewish Defense League was suspected of plotting to bomb the King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, California.[19] Similar attacks occurred throughout the United Kingdom following the 7 July 2005 London bombings. Outside the Western world, in June 2001, the Hassan Bek Mosque was the target of vandalism and attacks by hundreds of Israelis.[20][21][22]
Although the Saudi involvement in mosques around the world can be traced back to the 1960s, it was not until later in the twentieth century that the government of Saudi Arabia became a large influence in foreign mosques.[23] Beginning in the 1980s, the Saudi Arabian government began to finance the construction of mosques in countries around the world. An estimated US$45 billion has been spent by the Saudi Arabian government financing mosques and Islamic schools in foreign countries. Ain al-Yaqeen, a Saudi newspaper, reported in 2002 that Saudi funds may have contributed to building as many as 1,500 mosques and 2,000 other Islamic centers[24]
Saudi citizens have also contributed significantly to mosques in the Islamic world, especially in countries where they see Muslims as poor and oppressed. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, in 1992, mosques in war-torn Afghanistan saw many contributions from Saudi citizens.[23] The King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, California and the Islamic Cultural Center of Italy in Rome represent two of Saudi Arabia's largest investments in foreign mosques as former Saudi king Fahd bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud contributed US$8 million[23] and US$50 million[25] to the two mosques, respectively.
Mosque architecture is a continuation of pre-Islamic architecture of palaces built during the Parthian and Sassanian dynasties of Persia. The Sarvestan palace from the Sassanian era is a great example of this. For example, the idea of having an arched entrance and a central dome is clearly one borrowed from pre-Islamic, Persian architecture. After the Arab invasion of Persia, this architecture, as well as elements of Sassanian culture, was used for the new Islamic world. Many forms of mosques have evolved in different regions of the Islamic world. Notable mosque types include the early Abbasid mosques, T-type mosques, and the central-dome mosques of Anatolia. The oil-wealth of the twentieth century drove a great deal of mosque construction using designs from leading non-Muslim modern architects and promoting the careers of important contemporary Muslim architects.
Arab-plan or hypostyle mosques are the earliest type of mosques, pioneered under the Umayyad Dynasty. These mosques have square or rectangular plans with an enclosed courtyard and covered prayer hall. Historically, in the warm Mediterranean and Middle Eastern climates, the courtyard served to accommodate the large number of worshippers during Friday prayers. Most early hypostyle mosques had flat roofs on prayer halls, which required the use of numerous columns and supports.[8] One of the most notable hypostyle mosques is the Mezquita de Córdoba in Spain, the building being supported by over 850 columns.[27] Frequently, hypostyle mosques have outer arcades so that visitors can enjoy the shade. Arab-plan mosques were constructed mostly under the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties; subsequently, however, the simplicity of the Arab plan limited the opportunities for further development, the mosques consequently losing popularity.[8]
The Ottomans introduced central dome mosques in the fifteenth century. These mosques have a large dome centered over the prayer hall. In addition to having a large central dome, a common feature is smaller domes that exist off-center over the prayer hall or throughout the rest of the mosque, where prayer is not performed.[28] This style was heavily influenced by the Byzantine religious architecture with its use of large central domes.[8]
Iwan mosques are most notable for their domed chambers and iwans, vaulted spaces opening out at one end. In iwan mosques, one or more iwans face a central courtyard that serves as the prayer hall. The style represents a borrowing from pre-Islamic Iranian architecture and has been used almost exclusively for mosques in Iran.
Hajja Soad's mosque took a pyramid shape which is a creative style in Islamic architecture.
A common feature in mosques is the minaret, the tall, slender tower that usually is situated at one of the corners of the mosque structure. The top of the minaret is always the highest point in mosques that have one, and often the highest point in the immediate area. The tallest minaret in the world is located at the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco.[29]
The first mosques had no minarets, and even nowadays the most conservative Islamic movements, like Wahhabis, avoid building minarets, seeing them as ostentatious and hazardous in case of collapse. The first minaret was constructed in 665 in Basra during the reign of the Umayyad caliph Muawiyah I. Muawiyah encouraged the construction of minarets, as they were supposed to bring mosques on par with Christian churches with their bell towers. Consequently, mosque architects borrowed the shape of the bell tower for their minarets, which were used for essentially the same purpose — calling the faithful to prayer.[30]
Actually the oldest standing minaret in the world is the minaret of the Great Mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia [31][32], built between the 8th and the 9th century, it is a massive square tower consisting of three superimposed tiers of gradual size and decor.[33]
Before the five required daily prayers, a muezzin calls the worshippers to prayer from the minaret. In many countries like Singapore where Muslims are not the majority, mosques are prohibited from loudly broadcasting the call to prayer (adhan), although it is supposed to be said loudly to the surrounding community. The adhan is required before every prayer. However, nearly every mosque assigns a muezzin for each prayer to say the adhan as it is a recommended practice or sunnah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. At mosques that do not have minarets, the adhan is called instead from inside the mosque or somewhere else on the ground.[12] The iqama, which is similar to the adhan and said immediately before the start of prayer, is usually not said from the minaret even if a mosque has one.
The domes, often placed directly above the main prayer hall, may signify the vaults of heaven and the sky.[34] As time progressed, domes grew, from occupying a small part of the roof near the mihrab to encompassing the whole roof above the prayer hall. Although domes normally took on the shape of a hemisphere, the Mughals in India popularized onion-shaped domes in South Asia and Persia.[35] Some mosques have multiple, often smaller, domes in addition to the main large dome that resides at the center.
The prayer hall, also known as the musalla, has no furniture; chairs and pews are absent from the prayer hall so as to allow as many worshipers as possible to line the room.[36] Some mosques have Arabic calligraphy and Qur'anic verses on the walls to assist worshippers in focusing on the beauty of Islam and its holiest book, the Qur'an, as well as for decoration.[12]
Usually opposite the entrance to the prayer hall is the qiblah wall, the visually emphasized area inside the prayer hall. The qiblah wall should, in a properly oriented mosque, be set perpendicular to a line leading to Mecca, the location of the Kaaba.[37] Congregants pray in rows parallel to the qiblah wall and thus arrange themselves so they face Mecca. In the qiblah wall, usually at its center, is the mihrab, a niche or depression indicating the direction of Mecca. Usually the mihrab is not occupied by furniture either. Sometimes, especially during Friday prayers, a raised minbar or pulpit is located to the side of the mihrab for a khatib or some other speaker to offer a sermon (khutbah). The mihrab serves as the location where the imam leads the five daily prayers on a regular basis.[38]
As ritual purification precedes all prayers, mosques often have ablution fountains or other facilities for washing in their entryways or courtyards. However, worshippers at much smaller mosques often have to use restrooms to perform their ablutions. In traditional mosques, this function is often elaborated into a freestanding building in the center of a courtyard.[27] This desire for cleanliness extends to the prayer halls where shoes are disallowed to be worn anywhere other than the cloakroom. Thus, foyers with shelves to put shoes and racks to hold coats are commonplace among mosques.[36]
Modern mosques have a variety of amenities available to their congregants. As mosques are supposed to appeal to the community, they may also have additional facilities, from health clinics to libraries to gymnasiums, to serve the community.
Most especially in Metro Manila, Philippines area, is common for some Muslim-denominated bazaars (tiangge) to also have a makeshift mosque. They are made primarily for Muslim tenants, most especially when a mosque is not available on the vicinity. Such mosques can be seen in the Riverbanks Mall in Marikina and on the bazaar in the parking lot between Sta Lucia Mall and Robinsons Metro East in Pasig.
Mosques, in accordance with Islamic practices, institute a number of rules intended to keep Muslims focused on worshipping Allah. While there are several rules, such as those regarding not allowing shoes in the prayer hall, that are universal, there are many other rules that are dealt with and enforced in a variety of ways from mosque to mosque.
Appointment of a prayer leader is considered desirable, but not always obligatory.[39] The permanent prayer leader (imam) must be a free honest man and is authoritative in religious matters.[39] In mosques constructed and maintained by the government, the prayer leader is appointed by the ruler;[39] in private mosques, however, appointment is made by members of the congregation through majority voting. According to the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence, the man who built the mosque has a stronger claim to the title of imam, but this view is not shared by the other schools.[39]
Leadership at prayer falls into three categories, depending on the type of prayer: five daily prayers, Friday prayer, or optional prayers.[39] According to the Hanafi and Maliki school of Islamic jurisprudence, appointment of a prayer leader for Friday service is mandatory because otherwise the prayer is invalid. The Shafi'i and Hanbali schools, however, argue that the appointment is not necessary and the prayer is valid as long as it is performed in a congregation. A slave may lead a Friday prayer, but Muslim authorities disagree over whether the job can be done by a minor.[39] An imam appointed to lead Friday prayers may also lead at the five daily prayers; Muslim scholars agree to the leader appointed for five daily services may lead the Friday service as well.[39]
All Muslim authorities hold the consensus opinion that only men may lead prayer for men.[39] Nevertheless women prayer leaders are allowed to lead prayer in front of all-female congregations.
All mosques have rules regarding cleanliness, as it is an essential part of the worshipper's experience. Muslims before prayer are required to cleanse themselves in an ablution process known as wudu. However, even to those who enter the prayer hall of a mosque without the intention of praying, there are still rules that apply. Shoes must not be worn inside the carpeted prayer hall. Some mosques will also extend that rule to include other parts of the facility even if those other locations are not devoted to prayer. Congregants and visitors to mosques are supposed to be clean themselves. It is also undesirable to come to the mosque after eating something that smells, such as garlic.[40]
Islam requires that its adherents wear clothes that portray modesty. As a result, although many mosques will not enforce violations, both men and women when attending a mosque must adhere to these guidelines. Men are supposed to come to the mosque wearing loose and clean clothes that do not reveal the shape of the body. Likewise, it is recommended that women at a mosque wear loose clothing that covers to the wrists and ankles, and cover their heads with a hijab or other covering. Many Muslims, regardless of their ethnic background, wear Middle eastern clothing associated with Arabic Islam to special occasions and prayers at mosques.[12]
As mosques are places of worship, those within the mosque are required to remain respectful to those in prayer. Loud talking within the mosque, as well as discussion of topics deemed disrespectful, is forbidden in areas where people are praying. In addition, it is disrespectful to walk in front of or otherwise disturb Muslims in prayer.[41] The walls within the mosque have few items, except for possibly Arabic calligraphy, so Muslims in prayer are not distracted. Muslims are also discouraged from wearing clothing with distracting images and symbols so as not to divert the attention of those standing behind them during prayer. In many mosques, even the carpeted prayer area has no designs, its plainness helping worshippers to focus.
Islamic law requires men and women to be separated in the prayer hall; ideally, the women must occupy the rows behind the men. Muhammad preferred women to pray at home rather than at a mosque, and according to the hadith Muhammad said: "The best mosques for women are the inner parts of their houses", although Muhammad told Muslims not to forbid women from entering mosques. The second caliph Umar at one time prohibited women from attending mosques especially at night because he feared they may be teased by males, so he required them to pray at home.[42] Sometimes a special part of the mosque was railed off for women; for example, the governor of Mecca in 870 had ropes tied between the columns to make a separate place for women.[8]
Many mosques today will put the women behind a barrier or partition or in another room against most Islamic beliefs. Mosques in South and Southeast Asia put men and women in separate rooms, as the divisions were built into them centuries ago. In nearly two-thirds of American mosques, women pray behind partitions or in separate areas, not in the main prayer hall; some mosques do not admit women at all due to the lack of space and the fact that some prayers, such as the Friday Jummah, are mandatory for men but optional for women. Although there are sections exclusively for women and children, the Grand Mosque in Mecca is desegregated.[43]
Under most interpretations of Islamic law, non-Muslims may be allowed into mosques, as long as they do not sleep or eat there. A dissenting opinion is presented by followers of the Maliki school of Islamic jurisprudence, who argue that non-Muslims may not be allowed into mosques under any circumstances.[39]
The Qur'an addresses the subject of non-Muslims, and particularly polytheists, in mosques in two verses in its ninth chapter, Sura At-Tawba. The seventeenth verse of the chapter prohibits those who join gods with Allah — polytheists — from entering mosques:
The twenty-eighth verse of the same chapter is more specific as it only considers polytheists in the Sacred Mosque, the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca:
According to Ahmad ibn Hanbal, these verses were followed to the letter at the times of Muhammad, when Jews and Christians, considered monotheists, were still allowed to the Masjid al-Haram. However, the Umayyad caliph Umar II later forbade non-Muslims from entering mosques, and his ruling remained in practice in Saudi Arabia.[8] Today, the decision on whether non-Muslims should be allowed to enter mosques varies. With few exceptions, mosques in the Arabian peninsula as well as Morocco do not allow entry to non-Muslims. For example, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is one of only two mosques in Morocco currently open to non-Muslims.[45] However, there are also many other places in the west as well as the Islamic world where non-Muslims are welcome to enter mosques. Most mosques in the United States, for example, report receiving non-Muslim visitors every month.[7] Many Mosques throughout the United States welcome non-Muslims as a sign of openness to the rest of the community as well as to encourage conversions to Islam.[46][47]
In modern-day Saudi Arabia, the Grand Mosque and all of Mecca are open only to Muslims. Likewise, the Masjid al-Nabawi and the city of Medina that surrounds it are also off-limits to those who do not practice Islam.[48] For mosques in other areas, it has most commonly been taken that non-Muslims may only enter mosques if granted permission to do so by Muslims and if they have a legitimate reason. All entrants regardless of religious affiliation are expected to respect the rules and decorum for mosques.[12]
In modern Turkey non-Muslim tourists are allowed to enter any mosque, but there are some strict rules. Visiting a mosque is allowed only between prayers; visitors are required to wear long trousers and not to wear shoes, women must cover their heads; visitors are not allowed to interrupt praying Muslims, especially by taking photos of them; no loud talk is allowed; and no references to other religions are allowed (no crosses on necklaces, no cross gestures etc.)
At different times and places, non-Muslims living under Muslim rule were required to demonstrate deference to mosques. In most cities of Morocco, Jews were required to remove their shoes when passing by a mosque.[49] Danish traveler Carsten Niebuhr wrote that in 18th century Egypt "Jews and Christians had to dismount before several mosques in veneration of their sanctity."[50]
Dogs are usually banned from entering mosques, but on September 24, 2008, the Muslim Law Council UK granted a blind Muslim permission to take his guide dog into the mosque via a Fatwa.[51]

ST. LOUIS (KTVI) - Abram Whitehead is a thinker, creator and one of three masterminds behind a small company with big ideas. It's called Think a Little Bigger.
The St. Louis based 3D printing company is the only one of its kind in the metro area. They make everything from memorial busts, and sculptures to art pieces. All of it done with a special touch. One of Whitehead's first projects was a plaster print of his newborn daughter from a picture taken just moments after her birth.
"For our likenesses and sculptures it`s about delivering an emotional product something that contains a story about somebody." said Whitehead
The company was recently hired by a St. Louis collector to do a 3D print of a newly discovered artifact from the Cahokia Mounds. The artifact was found more than 1,000 miles away down the Mississippi River.
The crayfish effigy was seen for the first time in 3D, the print shows every nick, nook and cranny. The replica of the 900- year- old artifact was printed in less than 5 hours to preserve the original. Duplicates will be used at museums across the country.
When it comes to the future of 3D printing, Whitehead says the sky is the limit. All it takes is a picture and idea to make your dreams come true.
"St. Louis has a vast array of art and artifacts. The fact that we had someone in St. Louis spearhead the movement and move into the digital age is fortunate." Whitehead said.
Sculpture prices start at $200.

Oregon vs. WSU: X-factors and why the Ducks CAN win
With Oregon's starting quarterback, Justin Herbert out for the next handful of weeks, it's been a week full of questions in the world of Ducks Football.
As Oregon prepares to face a very tough Washington State team that is currently undefeated, the team has had its share of issues to work through. With its many injuries to key playmakers, primarily on offense, fans and pundits have been left to wonder and debate a little more than usual.
Who will start at QB in Herbert's place? Redshirt senior and team veteran, Taylor Alie, or Braxon Burmeister, the true freshman and one of the nation's most sought after duel-threat quarterbacks prior to committing to Oregon?
The questions don't stop there.
Will leading receivers, Charles Nelson and Dillon Mitchell be back after injury and if they are, will they be 100%? And, perhaps most importantly, will Oregon's Heisman contender, Royce Freeman be ready to go after being injured last week against Cal?
Conflicting Predictions
With so many unknowns on Oregon's offensive side of the ball, predictions have proved pretty difficult this week. Vegas oddsmakers surprisingly predict a close game, reporters are all over the map and even the most die-hard Ducks fans may be feeling a bit, well. . .conflicted.
Admittedly, I was in the latter boat (shhhh). It's obviously hard to fathom the Ducks beating a Cougar team that has found its stride under Mike Leach, especially after they managed to beat Oregon the past two years in a row.
With veteran QB, Luke Falk, leading the way, Washington State's offense has been outstanding the season especially. Additionally, the Cougar defense has dramatically improved and currently ranks second in the Pac-12 in total defense and first in pass defense. On the surface, this all spells trouble for the Ducks.
Not so fast.
Reasons to be Optimistic
Of course the Cougars will likely present a major challenge for the Ducks, but as we all know, anything can happen during Pac-12 After Dark. As it turns out though, there are several reasons why the Ducks absolutely have a shot tomorrow night under the lights.
Yes, Oregon's starting QB, whoever that may be, will have to work out some (or many) kinks, but they will likely have one or more offensive playmakers back in the mix. This should definitely lighten the load.
Keep in mind too, despite losing last year's game, Oregon did manage to score 33 points against the Cougars, on the road, with a less-than-great performance by QB Dakota Prukop and then true freshman QB, Justin Herbert, taking over later in the game.
Ultimately, WSU won 51-33, but the good news is that was against a very, very different Oregon defense-A defense that has improved leaps and bounds in just a year's time under new Defensive Coordinator, Jim Leavitt. Also worth noting is the fact Leavitt's Colorado defense was one of the only Pac 12 defenses to stop WSU last year. That should give Oregon fans a bit of comfort looking ahead to tomorrow night.
Another key factor that should work in Oregon's favor against the cougars can again be found in the Ducks' defense.
Looking back at last year's match up, WSU's usual Air Raid took a seat while the Cougar running backs had a hay day, scoring a combined 6 touchdowns. It turns out though, Oregon was playing without its up-and-coming star linebacker, Troy Dye- last season and this season's (so far) leading tackler. With Dye in tomorrow night's mix, those Cougar running backs should have a much harder time finding the end zone. Also in Leavitt's rush defense pocket will be Oregon DE, Jalen Jelks who has made a huge splash this season.
In short, with Dye and Jelks leading the way and of course, a much-improved Oregon secondary, the Ducks should theoretically be much more prepared against Mike Leach and Co. If the offense can dig deep and do their part, the ducks may just swag surf to victory.
And who knows? We may even see Oregon's future quarterback emerge.
If you look hard enough, there's always a silver lining. After last Saturday though, that Silver lining was just a little harder to find.

Lacunae in the auction system for non-coal mines came to the fore at a recent meeting of the stakeholders who form part of the 29-member committee set up to review the decade-old National Mineral Policy (NMP), 2008, by the mines ministry at the direction of the Supreme Court.
Lacunae in the auction system for non-coal mines came to the fore at a recent meeting of the stakeholders who form part of the 29-member committee set up to review the decade-old National Mineral Policy (NMP), 2008, by the mines ministry at the direction of the Supreme Court. Taking part in the first meeting of the committee, Federation of Indian Mineral Industries' secretary general RK Sharma said, "Auction may not deliver the results the government has in mind as nowhere in the world mineral resources are developed through an auction-based system."
According to the minutes of the meeting, Sharma said the focus should be on having an efficient regulatory mechanism in place and that even a system as one based on auction will degenerate into corruption. In a recent order with regard to illegal or unlawful mining in Odisha, the apex court expressed concern over the environmental degradation and asked the Centre to take a fresh look at the NMP as it is 'almost a decade old'. Also observing that the 'rule of the law' needed to be established to prevent illegal mining activities in other parts of the country, it asked the Centre to announce a fresh and more meaningful and implementable policy before December 31, 2017.
"Policy should provide for direct allocation of mining lease to companies who have either set up plant or who propose to make mega investments in the country," a representative of Assocham said.
Since the amendment to the MMDR, Amendment Act, 2015, was passed that paved the way for mandatory auctioning of the non-coal mines, only 29 mines have been successfully auctioned, while 45 blocks put into auction had to be annulled. Apart from limited number of successful auctions, the auctions have been limited to the extent of both from the perspective of minerals and the number of the auctioning states. Only five minerals, primarily iron ore and limestone, have been auctioned so far and only seven states took part in the process.
Syedain Abbasi, joint secretary, ministry of steel, said that in the auction regime, the end-use players should not be put at a disadvantage in terms of restriction on sale of ore or its use in sister concerns or plants operated jointly or in collaboration with others. "Rules should be relaxed for sale of ore," he said. If specified for end-use, the present mineral auction rules suggest that the mined mineral is used only for the specified use. The rule has left miners jittery. Currently, mined mineral cannot be sold or transferred or disposed of either directly or indirectly.
Karnataka's mines secretary also said that restrictions linked to the specified end-use at the time of auction should be minimal with regard to sale and use of minerals. Cement Manufacturers' Association said that once the areas are identified for mining activity, in-principle clearances should be obtained even before the auction takes place.
The committee will provide recommendations for conservation and mineral development and protection of environment. It will also recommend on the measures for improvement of survey and exploration of minerals, on revamping the database of mineral resources and tenements, scientific methods of mining, manpower development, and infrastructure development.

How to study: A first year's perspective
Entering medical school, I knew that studying for the dense material presented would be quite different than what I had encountered in undergrad. But I never thought about how exactly I would tackle the courses… at least not yet. I do remember that one of our professors mentioned that medical school is learning how to learn, and that my friends couldn't be more true. I am writing this post not because I ace all of my exams or because I have figured out the golden ticket to managing it all. I am writing this post to share a different perspective. My perspective. Trust me, I have failed my share of exams or assignments. But what I have done that I am proud of is learning from those mistakes to do better on future tests. Here's how I studied the first semester of medical school:
Find your learning style:
I know that we're all attached to our computers but for me hand writing notes makes a HUGE difference. The first few classes I was so dependent on taking notes on my computer AND studying from them. But once I started printing my notes out and adding additional hand written notes, it made all the difference. How did I come to that conclusion? Have you heard of the VARK assessment? Visual, auditory, reading/writing/kinesthetic are the various ways that people learn. For example, not only am I a visual learner but also auditory and kinesthetic (hence why I need to actively write my notes). Check out http://vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/ to see how you can incorporate different methods of studying into your routine.
Create a study environment:
I can't emphasize how important creating a space for yourself to study can be towards achieving your goals. Cafes, libraries, and study rooms are distracting to my wandering brain so I decided to get a spacious desk, a whiteboard, and double computer screens for my room. I am not only comfortable but also concentrated when I study. If you prefer the library or studying on campus, pack your lunch, grab a coffee and head out! If you are comfortable where you are, you are more likely to absorb the material you are studying.
Make a schedule and follow it:
Medical school is often like eating 20 pancakes every day. I would hear that from older students and I didn't believe in it until I was the one doing the pancake eating. But jokes aside think about it, if you have 20 pancakes for one day and you don't eat them all… you'll have more the next and the next and so on. So how do I alleviate the stress of all this material? I make a schedule. Seriously, I buy a calendar (could be a desk planner, notebook, etc.) Target has some really cute ones by the way! I write what I need to accomplish that week, divide the asks up accordingly, and FOLLOW IT. Now I know that life can happen and we all fall behind at some point. Guess what? That is OKAY, you are HUMAN, and you will get through it. Just prevent yourself from making it a habit of falling behind!
Study actively not passively:
My last piece of advice is to be ACTIVE when you are studying. I try to listen to lectures and take notes. I then spend time learning the material and a day later I quiz myself. I will write out my answers on my whiteboard, rinse, and repeat. REPETITION IS KEY. If you review for 15-20 minutes every day you won't be stuck with a huge cram session the day before your exam.
I really hope you enjoyed reading these tips and tricks that I have figured out during my first half of year one. If you have any additions, please feel free to leave them down below because I love hearing about new ways to improve my studying habits. Remember we are all in this journey together!

An Average Of 1.5 Alfa Romeo 4Cs On U.S. Dealer Lots, FCA Says0
Sponsored Links
Last week we observed that over 200 Alfa Romeo 4Cs were listed for sale on Cars.com, 163 of which were new examples. The only problem with our observation was that Cars.com's online inventory doesn't represent the inventory of all U.S. Alfa dealers and also includes used cars, so we reached out to Fiat Chrysler to see how many new 4Cs we're actually on U.S. lots.
According to an FCA spokesperson, there's an average of 1.5 Alfa Romeo 4Cs on every Alfa Romeo lot in the U.S., with some having one and others having two. A total of 154 Alfa Romeo dealers currently exist in the United States, so that means roughly 223 new units of the two-seat sportscar are currently for sale.
Alfa sold a total of 444 4Cs between January and October of this year, an average of 44.4 units a month. It seems unlikely FCA will have to ship its U.S. dealers additional 2016 model year stock before the new year, then, unless it plans on moving more than 220 units between November and December.
Alfa has yet to show the 2017 model year 4C and 4C Spider, however a prototype for what was thought to be the mildly updated car was spied testing in late October. It's unclear when the updated car might debut, but if it can't clear its 2016 model year inventory, Alfa might not be overly eager to usher the 2017 model year car into showrooms.
