Dhikr and du’a lie at the very heart of the din, the relationship between creature and Creator. A body that stumbled its way out of the bed to pray the fajr (pre-dawn) prayers requires ease and efficiency – well, at least that is what my body has told me. I first mentioned the particular Dhikr in Arabic, then its translation, along with its reference in the books of Hadith.

Recently I did my first flight in the reworked 757. Flying out of Delta’s busiest and largest hub Atlanta, it was Delta all day and all night. Not another airline in sight. Enjoy!
- 16 different aircrafts were shown in these photos and they were all Delta’s!
- 81% of those aircrafts were 757s, the other 19% were made up of a CRJ-900, A321, and 737-800.
Flight Time: 0:41
Airline: Delta Air Lines
Callsign: Delta 1672
Boarding passengers bound for Jacksonville as a Delta A321 departs ATL
Delta 757s on the ground
Good ol’ Atlanta traffic
Preparing for our short taxi to runway 9L
Taxiing to runway 9L while another 757 departs
And we’re off…
Turning away from Atlanta airspace
On descend into Jacksonville
Touching down in Jacksonville with another Delta 757 heading back to Atlanta
Thanks for viewing!
This night time lighting is just amazing!
I think I saw you guys because when I landed on runway 10 and then crossed runway 9R I saw a bunch of Delta planes on runway 9L so I had to wait to cross runway 9L for a little
@Rhys_V thank you!
@Xavier_Omatseye you might have. What time did you land in ATL?
I assume you mean his editing and not the night lightning in IF itself right?
You might’ve just missed me. I departed around 7:15 to 7:30 EST
Yes, but the runway lights do look really cool too!
Yessss JAX!!! This is the first #screenshots-and-videos topic with my home airport. Great pictures!!
I was hoping to see some 717 but still cool to see some players in ATL
Yes! Love that my home JAX is getting some love😍
@Tucker_Ryan glad I could be the first to touch your hometown and thank you!
@Cdt_Aupetit I don’t think anyone was thinking about the 717 unfortunately. It is always great to see ATL with some traffic.
@SamC I love JAX. Great routes and such a great airport to fly to. Very underrated in IF.
wooooow nice pictures im really enjoying this new 757 great job
Isn’t JAX just a great airport???
that do be beautiful
Im gonna 💯 percent do a night flight, It feels so calm like a super late night flight Takeoff from like KLAX, at 12AM, and land early morning at JFK
I like the idea! Flying at night is a lot calmer than it is during the day. You’ll also be able to see a beautiful sunrise if you are awake during the last hour of your flight.
Yeah I always wanted to do a all nighter and play at Center on Training it seems calmer since less traffic

Xie Zi Village, Chengdu
We have assisted a community support project in Xie Zi village, west of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, an area impacted by the 12 May 2008 earthquake. This project was undertaken in partnership with George Watson's College, Edinburgh, and Hands on Chengdu. The site was formally opened at a ceremony on 7 March 2010, attended by the Trust.
Background to our partners
Xie Zi village
Xie Zi village is part of Ji Guan Shan town, Chongzhou city, and is situated in a rural mountainous area west of Chengdu. It is some 25km from Wenchuan, the epicentre of the 12 May 2008 earthquake, and suffered one person dead and 10 injured, as well significant damage to housing, roads and other facilities, primarily from landslides and flooding. This required the evacuation of the village in the immediate aftermath of the quake.
At the time we became involved in 2009, the local people and village authorities were beginning to rebuild Xie Zi - this includes repairing roads, strengthening embankments, and clearing the local riverbed of obstructions. The local tourism industry was beginning to be re-established as well. The first three photos below (from late April 2009) show some general views of the village and local reconstruction work underway amidst the demanding local terrain. The final three show our former Chairman, Graham Thompson, with Hands on Chengdu staff and local officials at the opening ceremony on 7 March 2010 ; Graham presenting an illustrated history of George Watson's College to the village during the ceremony ; and continuing reconstruction work.

The community support facility has been built on the site of the original activity centre in the village, and used refurbished and specially refitted shipping containers to deliver accessible and attractive facilities for the local population. Based alongside a new social services centre, it comprises a library, vocational training room and medical centre, as well as a basketball court, play area, seating areas. The site is managed locally and staffed, in part, by local volunteers from Chengdu.
This Edinburgh school has a well-developed Chinese language programme having taught Chinese since 1994. Recently it increased its provision of Chinese language lessons with the introduction of SQA examination qualification classes and the option to learn Chinese as a language in Senior 1. Please see here for our other co-operation with this school.
A student party visited China in March 2008, on a two week visit which
included a trip to Chengdu. Following the Sichuan earthquake, the
George Watson's students raised the very significant sum of £4,000,
which has provided the bulk of the Scottish support for this project at
Xie Zi village. We are extremely grateful to the students, staff and
friends of George Watson's College for their fantastic fundraising
efforts for this project.
Through its previous disaster relief experience in areas like New Orleans, the Philippines, and Florida, the Hands On organisation recognized early that the recovery and rebuilding efforts following the May 2008 earthquake in Sichuan would require an innovative and long term effort to support those affected. Hands on Chengdu was created in summer 2008, and is working with local government agencies, NGOs and local people to bring a long term impact to affected communities. Hands on Chengdu recruits, trains, and manages volunteers in the city and the surrounding area.
Hands on Chengdu is leading the Xie Zi project in partnership with the local government, and with support from corporate donors, provided the containers, their equipment and other materials for the site. Hands on Chengdu volunteers from the local area support the staffing of the facility.
Outcomes and lessons
Construction of the Xie Zi facility began in mid-May 2009. Following repairs to an access road damaged by flooding in summer of that year, the containers were shipped to the village in December 2009 - see this news item from our partners in China.
Graham Thompson, our former Chairman, attended a opening ceremony for the new centre in Xie Zi on 7 March 2010, alongside representatives from Hands on Chengdu and Sparch Asia, one of the other foreign donors.
He read out a message from George Watson's College to the people of Xie Zi, which noted that “the world is becoming more and more a large community, and we are happy to be part of a project to link our country with yours”.

A Worldwide Wholesale Supplier of Turf and Forage Seeds
Types of Bluegrass
The New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station Project No. 12264 defined twelve(12) types of Kentucky bluegrasses. The following description are taken from Rutgers Turfgrass Proceedings:
This group of cultivars is recognized for its aggressive lateral growth habit and the development of a turf with high shoot density. An aggressive, dense growth may be advantageous for highly trafficked turfs and can hasten the development of a mature sod. Aggressive cultivars can dominate other species or cultivars when used in blends or mixtures. If aggressive cultivars dominate a stand, this could lead to the rapid expression of the cultivar's strengths or weaknesses. The characteristics of spring green-up and disease susceptibility vary considerably among these cultivars. In 1995, these cultivars had good resistance to stripe smut disease. Winter dormancy and color is variable within this group, and recovery from summer stresses ranged from poor to moderate. Princeton 104, A-34, Limousine, and Touchdown are examples of Aggressive Types.
Within the Compact Type, a number of cultivars exhibit similar growth and performance characteristics to the cultivar America. These cultivars have moderate winter dormancy with some purpling. Moderate recovery from summer stress was observed within this group during 1995. They have shown good resistance to dollar spot, leaf spot, and stripe smut diseases. Examples are Unique and America.
These cultivars form a turf with medium-low growth, medium-wide leaves, and medium shoot density. Excellent cool-season vigor exists in this group, which is evident by the excellent color retention and turf quality during the winter and early spring green-up. Bellevue types have moderate recuperative ability from summer stress and possess good resistance to leaf spot and current races of stripe smut disease. Reproductive stems can be obvious in these turfs during late spring. Banff, Classic, Georgetown, and Freedom are examples of Bellevue.
This widely used group of cultivars has high seed yield potential and can generally produce good quality turf. These cultivars have medium-low growth, medium-wide leaves, and produce a medium-density turf. Seed heads frequently detract from the appearance of these cultivars in late spring and early summer. Although th BVGM group has moderately good resistance to leaf spot disease, all entries evaluated in long term trials at Rutgers are susceptible to a new race of stripe smut diseases. This group of cultivars generally has poor winter color and greater winter dormancy. Recovery form summer stress ranged from poor to moderate. Abbey, Viva, Merit, Baron, Victa, and Kelly are examples of BVGM Types.
These turf-type cultivars exhibit early spring green-up. This group has moderate to good stripe smut resistance, good resistance to leaf spot, and variable winter color and dormancy. Examples of CELA Types are Challenger, Eclipse, Liberty and Adelphi.
Cultivars within this group are characterized by a low, compact growth habit and possess good to excellent resistance to leaf spot disease. Many cultivars can form a highly attractive turf after slow green-up in spring. Generally, these cultivars have a long winter dormancy, and a purple coloration can be observed on many cultivars during cold weather. Some cultivars, however, do exhibit better winter performance than others. Performance during summer heat and drought stress is variable, with some cultivars producing good turf quality. Poor to excellent recover from summer stress was observed in the group. Entries in this group exhibited good resistance to stripe smut disease. Examples of Compact Type bluegrasses are Midnight, Able I, Nugget, Glade, and Barsweet.
This group of cultivars is similar in appearance and performance to the cultivar Julia. These cultivars form a turf of medium to dark green color with medium texture, and exhibit medium to good winter color and spring green-up. These cultivars have good resistance to leaf spot disease, but show susceptibility to dollar spot disease. Julia type cultivars have shown good wear tolerance in European tests. Examples include Julia and Caliber
This group of cultivars forms a vigorous turf of medium-high density with a deep, extensive rhizome system. In general, this group has moderate susceptibility to leaf spot disease; exceptions are Livingston, SR 200, and Bel 21, which have moderately good resistance. Their ability to recover from leaf spot damage and other stresses is excellent due to a deep extensive system of rhizomes. Most of these cultivars have good tolerance of summer stress and exhibited good recovery after summer stress in 1995. This group has moderate to good winter performance, and generally shows an attractive appearance in early spring. Preakness, Monopoly, and Eagleton would be other examples of Mid-Atlantic Ecotypes.
Within the Mid-Atlantic Ecotype are a number of selections that exhibit growth and performance characteristics similar to the cultivar Wabash. They have a medium-green color, excellent heat tolerance, and above average resistance to billbugs. They are moderately susceptible to leaf spot, but show good recovery from this disease.
Common Type (formerly Midwest Ecotype)
Common type Kentucky bluegrass are characterized by an erect growth habit and a narrow leaf blade. Common type should not be confused with the seed label term variety not states or VNS. Common types are typically used for conservation purposes, permanent pastures, and low maintenance utility turf. Many of these cultivars were selections of naturalized ecotypes found in old pastures of the Midwestern United States. These cultivars produce seed early and economically, exhibit good stress tolerance and often survive summer drought in a dormant condition. Common type cultivars are susceptible to leaf spot disease and may be extensively damaged by this disease during the cool, humid conditions of winter and spring. Poor turf quality and excessive purple coloration is typical during winter. They are best adapted to high cutting heights in regions with cool nights, bright sun, and low humidity. Common types seem particularly suited for low maintenance utility turf areas where soil stabilization and conservation are needed. they green up early in the spring and show an attractive bright spring color until leaf spot damage becomes excessive. This group includes Alene, Huntsville, Kenblue, and Ginger.
Other Turf Types
This group of cultivars and selections possess characteristics intermediate between two or more of the previously discussed groups. Further study is needed to identify new types of cultivars or recognize the characteristics of a cultivar that are common to a known group. Included in this group are Washington, Coventry Ram I, Broadway, and Estate.

Do I need to say it again? I love blue and yellow quilts. Of course, the reason for them now is sobering, this does not take away from their beauty. Hearts of Hope is a beautiful example.
You will also notice that the quilter also included a couple pillow tops that I had fun custom quilting.
I love how the Hypnotic E2E works to unify this quilt.
It is never a bad idea to add a circular pattern to an angular quilt.
As far as thread color goes, we considered two options. A pale yellow and powder blue. The yellow won out and looked lovely.
Also, I mentioned the pillow tops. I had a great time adding some custom quilting to these. There was enough backing to let them sit below the quilt.
I am not very pleased with how the colors came out in the back image. The quilting was beautiful, but the fabric was actually equally vibrant as the front.

The Duchess of Cornwall has been given a very special honour on Christmas Day by the Queen, as she was invited to travel to church with her.
- The Duchess of Cornwall travelled to church with the Queen on Christmas Day for the first time.
- She took Prince Philip’s place, who has been in hospital for the last few days and therefore is missing the service.
- This follows royal news that Prince Charles gave update on how his father is doing.
The Duchess of Cornwall has been part of the royal family since marriying Prince Charles in 2005, but this year she’s been given the privilege of travelling to church on Christmas Day alongside her mother-in-law, the Queen.
The Queen is usually accompanied by her husband, but this year he was absent as he spent the last few days in a London hospital.
He also missed the service last year, but it was the Duke of York who accompanied with his mother to church. However, he has since stepped back from his royal duties due to his controversial connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
According to Royal Central, the decision to invite Duchess Camilla instead of travelling by car alone, shows ‘the high regard Her Majesty has for her daughter-in-law’.
The royals were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their two eldest children for the first time, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
While absent for Christmas service, Prince Philip is thought to be back in Norfolk after leaving hospital yesterday.
Speaking about how his dad was doing on Monday, while visiting flood-hit communities in South Yorkshire, Prince Charles said, “When you get to that age things don’t work so well.”
His hospital visit was first announced on Friday, when Buckingham Palace issued a statement that read, ‘The Duke of Edinburgh travelled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition. ‘The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’ Doctor.’

On cross-currency models with stochastic volatility and correlated interest rates
We construct multi-currency models with stochastic volatility and correlated stochastic interest rates with a full matrix of correlations. We frst deal with a foreign exchange (FX) model of Heston-type, in which the domestic and foreign interest rates are generated by the short-rate process of Hull-White [HW96]. We then extend the framework by modeling the interest rate by a stochastic volatility displaced-diffusion Libor Market Model [AA02], which can model an interest rate smile. We provide semi-closed form approximations which lead to effcient calibration of the multi-currency models. Finally, we add a correlated stock to the framework and discuss the construction, model calibration and pricing of equity- FX-interest rate hybrid payoffs.

The Percussion Show from Egypt
The grants were given out to three participants in each of the following art sections; literature, visual art, video, music and theatre.
The winners of each section were announced by one of its jury members.
The awards in literature announced by the Libyan poet Khaled Motawea were given out to Mohamed Ahmed El Adawy from Egypt for his novel El Raees (The President) which reveals the social and political changes in the region through the life of ‘Ibn Sina’, Donia Maher also from Egypt for Bab El Louk, a book that incorporates photography and literary text and Samia Ayash from Palestine for her novel-in-progress, Wagbet Lahm (A Meal of Blood), which explores the woman’s relationship with her body, her soul and society.
The three winners in visual arts were announced by Khaled Hourany. Mohamed Gamal Abou Sol from Palestine won for his work Metro in Gaza, Shaymaa Kamel from Egypt won for her video project Eswed Shafaf that projects the inner struggle of Egyptian women and Mozafar Soliman from Syria won for his photography book Asabei La Tosheer Ela Lel Farashat (My fingers only point at butterflies).
Winners in the video section announced by Heba Saleh were given out to Marwa Zein El Abedin from Sudan for her project Boheira Behagm Thamaret El Papaya (A Lake as Big as a Papaya), which is based on a novel by the author Stella Ketano, which explores the effects of the civil war in Sudan on the people of the south, Mohamed Shawky for his project Compus Mentus that delves into the issue of sanity against insanity and for the Palestinian Mohanad El Yakouby for his short film La Mafar (No Exit).
In music, the Grammy-award winning Egyptian musician, Fathy Salama announced the winners. The awards were given out to Muslem Rahal a Syrian nay player, Sharben Al Habar from Lebanon and Bassem Rajoub from Syria.
For the world of theatre, the Egyptian actress and critic Menha El Batrawy announced the winners Noha Nabil and the band the 'Percussion Show' from Egypt and two Lebanese women, Sabrine Shokeir and Rita El Khawand.
Shokeir will collect stories from Lebanese women in different villages and present them in the form of monologues, while Khawand will present a monologue about her inner struggles and link it to the cycle of the moon.
Prior to the award-giving Ibrahim El Batout gave a short speech. El Batout said that the 145 projects that didn’t win were even more important than those who won. “The political and social conditions we’re living in would drive anyone to insanity and it’s by creating art that this energy is released,” he said and went on to elaborate that whether there is funding for a project or not, it’s important to keep on creating. He also added that initiatives like El Mawred, which aim to bring artists together, show that we are alone in our lost state.
A short clay animated film by the Tunisian director Rafik El Omrany, one of last year’s winners, titled Dagaget Saba (Saba’s Chicken) was screened. The light, endearing film revolves around a young girl, who tries to make her chicken fly, despite her mother’s insistence that chickens can’t fly.
The night concluded with a refreshing performance by the band the Percussion Show.
The grants are given out to young artists, under the age of 35, from all around the Arab region and provide financial support for the artists’ early projects with an amount of up to $5,000, as well as advice on managing the projects and promoting them.
The Production Awards Programme was established in 2004 and has doubled its awards since it started because of the growing number of applicants. Seven grants were given out in 2004 and 14 in 2008 and 2009.

On Monday night, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) gathered colleagues on the steps outside the Senate, where they talked for hours into a Facebook feed as activists filed in and out to watch the debate. The tone alternated between grim stories of people who would lose access to Medicaid, and in-jokes between the senators.
“We've brought in Papa Smurf!” said Booker when Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) arrived to join the Facebook Live talk.
“Michael Bennet is giving such an amazing speech on the floor,” said Schumer, updating the crowd. “He's so passionate and strong.”
He launched into a story he frequently tells activists, about working to help Sen. Eugene McCarthy “topple a president” in 1968. Moments later, he encouraged a cancer survivor to join the senators and tell her story.
“We're close to victory because of you!” he said, pointing into the live-stream camera.
At the same time, NARAL Pro-Choice America held a call for supporters where a trio of Democrats urged activists to keep calling senators who might vote no.
“The internal negotiations won't work if the calls are overwhelming,” said NARAL Vice President Donna Crane.
“Please call, particularly if you live in places like Maine, West Virginia, Nevada and Alaska,” said Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).
“I know you all could be watching 'The Bachelor' right now!” joked NARAL president Ilyse Hogue.

JAGUARS ARE NOT LEOPARDS,
AND PANTHERS DON’T EXIST
So let’s explore that statement, shall we?
We’ll talk about the Jaguar first. Jaguars are considered to be the fiercest cat in the Americas. Most jaguars are tan or orange with distinctive black spots, called "rosettes." However, some jaguars appear to be black, but if you look closely you will see their markings.
Photo credit: http://Factzoo.com
Jaguars live in remote areas of South America, and Central America. They once roamed the southern portion of the US, but were essentially pushed out as people settled their habitat. As I said above, they are considered the fiercest big cat in North American and also the largest.
In ancient native legend, the Jaguar God was Lord of the underworld. Here’s a link to a really cool story about the Jaguar in ancient Mayan legend:
The name Jaguar comes from the Native American word, yaguar, which means; ‘he who kills with one leap.’ How so many words got crammed into one word is beyond me.
Many cats don’t like water, but the Jaguar is a very strong swimmer, and can collect a hearty meal from rivers. They will eat fish, turtle and caiman (a type of alligator).
Photo credit: Chris Gamel Photography
They will also eat deer, capybaras and tapirs. For all you kids out there, I have posted a picture of a capybara and tapir below, because you may not have heard of them or seen one of them before, and they are interesting animals too. The jaguar is crepuscular, (we’ve seen this word before. It means that the animal is most active, usually hunting, at dawn and dusk.)
Capybara are not endangered.
Baird’s Tapir lives in Central American and is an endangered species.
OK, let’s shift over to the Leopard. Leopards are the smallest of the big cats. They live in a widespread area covering, sub-Sahara Africa, Central Asia, India and China. Even though he is the smallest of the big cats, he is extremely strong. He will actually drag his prey into a tree so that scavengers will not be able to steal it from him. Leopards are also known to hunt from trees, sitting in them patiently waiting for an unsuspecting victim and leaping on them from above. Leopards, like Jaguars, don’t mind the water, and they are happy with a meal of fish and crabs.
Most leopards are light colored with dark spots that are commonly referred to as rosettes. There are leopards that appear to be black. This black coat is a result of melanism, which is a darkening of the body tissue, and Jaguars of this type are usually found in forests. Like the Jaguar, the spots can be seen if you look closely. These remarks about the color and coats of Leopards are general, because coat color and markings will vary with habitat.
So what about panthers? Well let’s take a look at the Latin name of Jaguars and Leopards.
Leopard: Panthera pardus
Jaguar: Panthera onca
Interesting! See that first word, Panthera.
The word Panthera represents a genus of large cats, which includes leopards, jaguars, lions, and tigers. People commonly refer to leopards as ‘black panthers,’ but they are mistaken. Panthers are not a separate subspecies.
Here's a Leopard video short for you. Take a moment to view a mom and her cub. They are beautiful.
Here’s another terrific video about Jaguars, Leopards and Cheetahs and how to tell them apart. So before you click play, gather the kids around so they can see how different these three bag cats are and how they will be able recognize each cat. There is so much to learn about so many beautiful animals.
The IUCN lists both the leopard and Jaguar as ‘near-threatened.’
Jaguar concerns: If we are to ensure the survival of this magnificent species it is vital that we enforce legislation, obtain the cooperation of local people, and maintain large tracts of contiguous habitat. (www.arkive.org)
Leopard concerns: In west Asia, the leopard is almost entirely restricted to protected areas. However, while these areas may receive protection, most of them are too small to support large enough populations of this species to ensure its survival in the region, and therefore need to be expanded and connected to other areas using buffer zones and wildlife ‘corridors.’ (www.arkive.org)
Visit the below sites to learn more about this magnificent cats.
My sincere thanks, as always, to Arkive.org for pictures and information. Please visit their site to see more information about the Jaguar and the Leopard and many other amazing animals and plants. (http://arkive.org)

Tesla CyberTruck - First Look
The Cybertruck, which is Tesla's first electric pickup truck, has just been revealed by Elon Musk.
In a Cyberpunk inspired event, Elon Musk unveiled his latest creation with some awe-inspiring activities to show off the vehicles durability and military-style properties.
Firstly, in true American hero fashion, a 9mm bullet was fired at the driver's door to show off the 'ultra-hard, cold-rolled, stainless steel' that they have developed.
Next came the glass demo, where the direct impact of a solid metal bearing was first placed onto regular car glass whereas you might expect it cracked and shattered on impact. To demonstrate the superior quality of the newly developed Tesla Armour Glass the bearing was taken to more than triple the dropping height to show no breakage whatsoever. Elon Musk was both surprised and humoured when in a later demonstration the glass actually broke!
See the Cybertruck event in action
What's so special?
The vehicle has adaptive air suspension, the rear is a whopping 6 and a half feet in length and can carry a payload of 3500lbs. It has 100cubic feet of lockable storage and can pull 14000lbs on tow.
The on-road performance is scary! A 0-60 time of just 2.9 seconds, it can achieve a 1/4 mile in 10.8 seconds and 'corners like its on rails'.
Tesla claims the off-road capabilities have never been seen before with both clearance and approach angles far better than any other road-legal vehicle ever created.
All this and the vehicle has full self-driving capability, auto park and trailer docking!
Range and charge
There are 3 different motors that will be available, which affect the performance and range of the vehicle.
|Single Motor RWD||Dual Motor AWD||Tri Motor AWD|
|0-60mph||6.5 Seconds||4.5 Seconds||2.9 Seconds|
|Range||250+ Miles||300+ Miles||500+ Miles|
|Drivetrain||Rear-Wheel Drive||Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive||Tri Motor All-Wheel Drive|
In terms of charge, the main points are 14000+ supercharges, 250+KW capability and 110v/220v onboard outlets.
So what's the starting price for such a beast!

Heat-pump extracts heat from ambient air and deliver several-filds more energy, to generate heating/cooling, thus serves one of core technologies of energy efficiency and savings. Indeed, the majority of currently available products utilizing this technology are made by Japanese companies, but their efforts for global visibility and marketing have not been vigorous enough to capture, to a significant magnitude, the global marketplace where the technology is most and badly needed.
We recently campaigned on behalf of the Tokyo Electric Company for its heat-pump products, with two prominent academics, Professor Komiyama, President of the University of Tokyo and Professor Kato, among other prominent posts, Dean of Keio University, President of Chiba College of Commerce. One of such activities which appeared in Nikkei, a major newspaper among the Japanese business establishment, as noted in this website in Japanese. This advertisement in English has also appeared in the Wall Street Journal and in its Asian version per attached.

If I kept my back straight, my eyes shut, my tongue silent.
If I tiptoed through the garden, the sand, the ocean of my dreaming.
If I swept the corners clean.
If I stopped in my tracks.
If I forgot to forgive, or forgave to forget.
If I shut the windows from the rain.
If I lied and lied again.
If I did not tear it all down, empty my heart, rebirth myself,
I would never have heard my own story calling,

There is currently no evidence that Comcast purposefully blocked access to archive.org for a few hours Thursday night and Friday morning. But the technical glitch gives us a peek into what a future without net neutrality could hold.
Dozens of Comcast residential internet subscribers posted on 4chan, Reddit, and Twitter Thursday night and early Friday morning that they were unable to access the website, which saves cached versions of websites, videos, pictures, and other web ephemera and emulates old software and games. These same users said they were able to access the site as normal via mobile connections or using virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Internet Archive and Comcast did not immediately respond to a request for more information, but Thursday, the Archive tweeted that it was rebooting some systems and said the site would be working intermittently. After the site came back up and was apparently back to normal, it said some users were unable to access the site.
"Some users reporting issues connecting-site is up, but some paths appear to be blocked. Working with service providers to diagnose and fix," the site tweeted. "Current issue with some not being able to connect isn't related to the earlier reboot. Site is up. Seems primarily to affect Comcast users."
All signs point to this being some sort of glitch and not a nefarious act—Comcast's Vice President of Tech Policy and Standards tweeted that "archive.org and Comcast engineers have been and are directly engaged to investigate and resolve."
That didn't stop Comcast users and net neutrality advocates from sounding the "censorship" alarm bells.
One of the major concerns of net neutrality activists is that without federal protection, internet service providers will be able to block or throttle individual websites at will and with no repercussions.
It's been said that the net neutrality debate is abstract, that people are unaware of what an internet without it would look like. This is it: Websites blocked, slow, or completely inaccessible. It's a grim look into our potential future to see what happens when millions of people are suddenly unable to access a site run by a nonprofit that's focused on conserving and spreading information.

The Detroit Lions placed safety Amari Spievey on season-ending injured reserve Saturday, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. The 24-year-old has not played since suffering a concussion in the Lions’ Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears.
Florence is faced with the difficult task of shutting down Aaron Rodgers and a talented group of receivers. However, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham is confident the veteran will perform well, according to the Detroit Free Press.
"He’s an exceptional veteran player," said Cunningham. "He’s like a lot of the older guys I’ve had. He learned to study the game a long time ago and he’s on it. I really like the way he’s moved in practice and he’s going to get a big load. How much, I can’t tell you right now. But we expect him to play and play well."
The 31-year-old veteran is in his 10th NFL season and his first with the Lions. After being drafted by the San Diego Chargers and spending his first five seasons with the team, Florence suited up for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills before signing with the Lions in September.
Florence has 446 tackles, 17 interceptions and three forced fumbles in his career.

It’s time to tell your friends, family, or even yourself to pack up the bags and get out of Florida. From the state that brought us bath salts, giant alligators and snakes, and a crushing summer (and year-round) heat comes a very new yet old concern – leprosy. According to ScienceAlert, the disease, which some may recognize from its Biblical context, is on the rise in the south-eastern United States with the most recent case being diagnosed in a 54-year-old Florida man.
Cases of leprosy are on the rise in Florida.
Just when we thought we were escaping the years that COVID took from our social, mental, and emotional lives, this ancient disease is on the rise, giving us another reason to stay indoors and away from humans.
The leprosy news comes just weeks following reports from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the US is facing the first cases of locally-acquired malaria in two decades. Unsurprisingly, four of these malaria discoveries were found in Florida.
While it may come as a shock, leprosy cases have actually been on the rise in the United States’ southern states since 2000, a statistic that points to the resurgence of the affliction long thought lost to the chapters of time. The bad news for those living in The Sunshine State is that the central areas currently account for close to one-fifth of the cases in the country.
But, they aren’t alone in their breakouts as more than 120 countries around the world are dealing with the curable bacterial infectious disease which is also known as Hansen’s disease.
A disease that primarily attacks the skin, leprosy appears to those afflicted in dry patches of skin, growths on the skin, painful ulcers on the bottoms of feet, swelling or lumps on the face or earlobes which tend to be painless, and a loss of eyebrows or eyelashes.
Leprosy cases have actually been on the rise in the United States’ southern states since 2000, a statistic that points to the resurgence of the affliction long thought lost to the chapters of time.
The bacterial infection can also go after nerves and mucous membranes leading to symptoms that include numbness around the skin areas affected and stuffy nose and nosebleeds. If left untreated, those suffering could eventually be paralyzed in the hands and feet, suffer from nose disfigurement, and even blindness.
As far as how one picks up leprosy, the leading cause is by being around someone with the disease as it travels through droplets coming from the nose and mouth. Astonishingly, animals such as nine-banded armadillos are also carriers of the disease which could be why Florida is seeing such a breakout in leprosy cases as the hard-shelled mammal can be found living in the south.
The leprosy news comes just weeks following reports from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the US is facing the first cases of locally-acquired malaria in two decades.
In the case of the 54-year-old Florida man, a lifelong resident of the state, he’s unsure how he acquired the illness, telling those at the hospital that he hadn’t been traveling, in close quarters with anyone already with the disease, and hadn’t come into contact with any armadillos.
With local malaria and leprosy now something extra we need to worry about – or at least those living or traveling to the southern states – we can now add the disease to a long list of reasons to avoid Florida altogether.

Okay so as biased as we may seem, yes we loved Shah Rukh Khan in and as his 'Fan' in Maneesh Sharma's latest show as this is the SRK that we saw when he first set foot in the industry and as much as his critics would say that he has lost his mojo, he gives it back to them with 'Fan' and how.
Sure the film has its flaws but the superstar's energy as a Bollywood Numero Uno and his biggest fan who gets awry after he realizes that his icon is not exactly the way he represents himself.
The story as revealed in its trailer but it's the screenplay that is the second hero of the film, after Shah Rukh. It's gripping and gives the audience an adrenaline rush. The chase sequences added though seem to be unbelievable but added to up the entertainment factor, and it does work in the film's favour. The film is on purpose has been kept song free to let the audience feel the thrill.
Shah Rukh Khan excels as a superstar that he is in real life and as the fan. His energy is commendable. Sayani Gupta as Aryan Khanna's secretary though has a brief role but makes an impact. Amin and Tiku as the Fan's parent do a decent job and the rest of the supporting cast.
The title song is already a hit with the masses and topping the charts. Andrea Guerra's background score gets loud at places but helps well where needed. Manu Anand's cinematography captures Mumbai, Croatia, London at Delhi beautifully. The chase sequences too are shot well. Namrata Rao too does a great job with the editing.
SRK seems to be introspecting his own self in the film, getting to know himself better. There are moments and dialogues that highlight this and that's where it comes as a winner.
The entire team has done their homework really well and it shows. It's a well made film and its SRK who takes it to another level. He reminds you of the rage he portrayed in 'Baazigar' and 'Darr'. Go Go Go watch this one…

It was the best weekend of the summer so far - and Cork's coast looked gorgeous in the sun.
Kinsale is, of course, one of the great gems of our wild Atlantic coast and local man Murilo Corrêa was up early on one of the hottest days of the year to capture some breathtaking drone footage of the town and its harbour.
Murilo, a chef in the famous Blue Haven hotel in the town (recent winner of the Best Boutique Hotel in Ireland title) may be a whizz in the kitchen. But we reckon he's got some serious talent with the camera as well.
So gracias Murilo for sharing this lovely footage that captures the historic harbour town looking its best. And if you have some images or video of your own from around our gorgeous county in high summer - make sure to message us on Facebook @corkebeo - we're always delighted to feature and share.

What I overlooked when investing in this company was the very large stock based compensation expense buried in G&A expenses....about $36 mil over 3 years (2012-2014). Are you kidding me? This is a significant hurdle to climb trying to grow EPS. This expense in itself is the equivalent to $1.25 EPS (pre tax).
Sales and margins are getting all the attention, but this expense should get some coverage and further explained. Hey, good for the handfull getting this comp, but not so great for the EPS of the company. Stock based comp is hitting the EPS (after tax) for 6 cents a share each quarter....yikes.
Chaz I always enjoy your thought out and researched comments.
Here is a little venting regarding my 20,400 votes of confidence in SKUL.
Besides having just taken a colonoscopy with a wire brush. I can say that the time for "play time" for management is over. It is pretty obvious to me that they are really into the "life-style" internal at SKUL. New offices, great big fat stock grants, party's all over the world (I just saw a video released on youtube promoting a new European office. Some skateboarder riding around the office pointing out the "video game room", Man cave with ping pong table, and more disturbing... saying he had to sign off to join the party going on at the "open bar".
This all was "cool" when the numbers were growing, EPS and Rev was rocking. Now management downgrades the EPS by 15% for the year (and frankly sounded like they had been hitting a few too many "open bars" or "smoking rope").
I'm stuck here holding my "unit" in my hand while the high-life is going on in Park City.
They better stop smoking hemp, and start getting the bottom line sorted out!
Having said all that, the product is not going down the tube (and that is not a skate ramp Andrus).
Stop playing and return some equity to the shareholder and PREPARE for the next Earnings call.
Disappointing and you hit the nail on the head with all your points. If they reigned in the spending a just a little bit they would have beat the numbers and not had to reduce guidance. A few million in budget cuts would not have affected sales one bit. I had more hope for this management team than this... Disgusting really. Talk about being blindsided!
Thanks for breaking out the numbers Chaz. I brought that very thing up months ago, before you were posting here, back when Payne was preaching against the evil shorts and prophesying a rapturous squeeze. I was a reed shaking in the wind, my warning of the enemy within was only met with praise for this young management team. I said it then and now you make it clear; it's nothing more than legal fraud.
In spite of this excessive comp (IMO), I do believe in the company, their brand and business model. Marketing is working as proven by sales growth and the product is solid based on reviews and customer satisfaction.Sure margins may be pinched, but that should be offset by increased sales and what I think should be lower expenses. All said, I think magmnt is solid and certainly thinks highly of themselves:)
And under no analogy should it be trading at this price. If I were management, I'd take this company private for a 50% premium ($15 per share) and then they could pay themselves even more and lose the headache of being public.I would think private equity would be licking their chops about now.
i understand the concern with such stock based compensation, but how does that benefit the person receiving it if the stock price plummets? wouldn't that person do everything he/she could do to bolster the stock price? why not just pay themselves with more cash instead of stock?


Off the south side of Canal 6, about a mile inside the main entrance, bird the West Jupiter Wetlands Trail through wetlands and flatwoods where Bachman’s Sparrows, Snail Kites and Sandhill Cranes are possible (wear waterproof footwear). Along Canal 6, Belted Kingfishers and Red-shouldered Hawks are common. At the pond inside Gate 2, expect to see and/or hear Limpkins. The Old Jupiter-Indiantown Grade trail offers the typical suite of Florida wading birds. The birding and wildlife viewing at this WEA is best in cooler months when the wetlands begin to dry up. This is when spectacular gatherings of wading birds can be seen. Other species to look for include Swallow-tailed Kite (summer), Common Ground-Dove, and wintering Swamp Sparrows. Seasonal hunting takes place at this site please click here for more details.
