A Federal Court challenge has been launched against the government’s India travel ban.
Flights from India have been suspended until May 15 due to the country’s massive COVID outbreak.
Anyone who tries to return to Australia from India via another country could face fines of up to $66,000 or even five years jail under emergency provisions of the Biosecurity Act.

The court action has been lodged on behalf of 73-year-old Australian man Gary Newman who has been stuck in India since March last year.
Lawyers for Mr Newman will argue that the ban is unconstitutional and breaches the requirements of the Biosecurity Act.
Mr Newman’s lawyers will this afternoon ask the Federal Court for an urgent hearing into the matter.
Speaking before the court challenge was confirmed, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the travel ban would allow more Australians to return home in the long run.
“As a result of the pause the incidents of those cases at Howard Sprigs are starting to come down, but the pause is working and that pause will allow us to get Australian citizens and residents and their immediate families back to Australia under those repatriation flights,” Mr Morrison said.
More to come.

The nation's largest airlines ran fewer flights on time in March than in the previous month, the Department of Transportation said Monday.
U.S. airlines arrived on time 82.2 percent of the time in March, down from 86.2 percent in February. A hail storm in March led to three planes sitting on the tarmac for more than three hours.
The average on-time rate was improved from a year earlier, when it was 79.2 percent. Hawaiian ran the most flights on schedule, followed by Air Tran and U.S. Airways. United, Virgin America and regional carrier ExpressJet were at the bottom of the list. A flight arriving within 15 minutes of its posted arrival time is considered on time.
At the end of March, there were no flights considered chronically delayed for two consecutive months. The government calls a flight chronically delayed if it arrives more than 30 minutes late more than half the time.
The three planes that were stuck on the ground for more than three hours in March were all flying to St. Louis on the same day _ March 17. They included an American flight from Dallas and a regional flight from New York's LaGuardia and Minneapolis. Airlines can get hit with huge fines for keeping passengers on the ground for more than three hours, but there are exceptions when safety is a concern.
Airlines lost or damaged more bags in March than the month before, but less than a year earlier. February's rate of mishandled bags was the lowest since the Department of Transportation began keeping records in 1987.
DOT also said Monday that more passengers were denied boarding due to overselling in the first quarter of 2012 than the same period a year ago. It didn't break out March figures for bumped passengers.

It wasn't easy, but New Bridge La Dolfina kept its win streak alive with a 13-12 victory over Audi on Sunday in the Ylvisaker Cup at International Polo Club Palm Beach in Wellington.
New Bridge La Dolfina won its 17th consecutive game and clinched the Division IV title to advance to the quarterfinals.
"I love winning everything and I think Adolfo [Cambiaso] is worse than me," 9-goaler Matias Magrini of Argentina said. "You get used to winning and you play with a different attitude. It's important to keep on winning, because teams keep on respecting you."
Martin Valent, the game's MVP, scored three goals in a 1:34 span early in the fourth chukker to give New Bridge La Dolfina a 9-4 advantage one they kept until the sixth chukker when Audi rallied but fell short.
Cambiaso led New Bridge La Dolfina (2-0) with seven goals including six in the first half. Magrini and Valent scored three goals apiece.
"We have no magic strategy," Magrini said. "We go 100 percent. All of us, all the time."
In other games, Pite Merlos scored nine goals to lead Lechuza Caracas over Patagones 15-14, and the Broncos came from behind to defeat Pony Express 10-9 on Lucas Monteverde's 30-yard penalty shot with 1:43 left eliminating Pony Express from playoff contention.
Monteverde finished with a team-high four goals for the Broncos (1-1) while Silvestre Donovan scored three goals.
In late Saturday games, 10-goaler Facundo Pieres scored nine goals to lead Black Watch to a 14-13 win over Skeeterville and 8-goaler Jeff Hall scored seven goals in BTA's 11-9 victory over Bendabout.
The losses eliminated Skeeterville and Bendabout from playoff contention.
The Black Watch game marked the U.S. debut of 5-goaler Nicolas Pieres, the 16-year-old brother of Facundo, who was playing in his first game as a 10-goaler in the U.S.
ROYAL PALM POLO
BTA 10, AIRSTREAM 7: Mariano Gonzales had 5 goals and Francisco Lanusse added 4 for the winners in the 20-goal exhibition.

- Festival Foods is using artificial intelligence forecasting and inventory management tools through a partnership with Upshop for its fresh foods operations, per an emailed announcement.
- The Wisconsin family- and employee-owned grocer is using the store operations technology maker’s Fresh SaaS software, which integrates and digitizes different workflows and data streams, like pricing, recipes and production plans to streamline ordering processes and production operations.
- The announcement notes that the partnership comes at a time when Festival Foods is getting ready to grow its business.
Festival Foods, which has 40 supermarkets across Wisconsin, is investing in building a “competitive edge” with its fresh department, and working with Upshop will help the grocery chain scale operational efficiencies, Ken Wicker, Festival Foods’ senior vice president of fresh foods, noted in the press release.
Upshop noted that automation can help with fresh perimeter’s operational complexities coupled with customers’ high expectations of fresh foods.
“This partnership is about removing barriers to execution for our teams and simplifying the complexities of running a Fresh department so [associates] can focus on delivering a memorable guest experience,” Festival Foods CEO and President Mark Skogen said in the announcement.
The partnership announcement marks the third recently unveiled retailer tie-up for Upshop.
Last month, Upshop announced its existing retail partner Cub Foods was in the process of rolling out its Expiration Date Management products to 55 Cub stores, giving workers targeted notifications and workflow guidance to rotate soon-to-expire items. That tie-up is expected to result in over $1.5 million in annual shrink savings, according to Upshop.
Cub has been using Upshop’s labeling and scales management, recipe and inventory management capabilities, along with traceability solutions, for more than a decade.
In May, Niemann Foods decided to implement Upshop’s automated replenishment and inventory optimization system, called Magic, across 43 stores in Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, per an announcement, which noted the tie-up “will lead to stores that are meeting localized demand and making it easier for associates to manage stocking.”
Upshop has positioned its tools as scalable options that can help retailers expand their businesses as grocers large and small turn to technology to automate processes, lessen friction points with customers and make it easier and faster for workers to do their jobs.

It’s mid July, which means we’ve started using three words that incite both excitement and dread in the youth of America: Back to school. At least for me back in the day, a sizable portion of that excitement was the promise of new swag to sweeten the deal. One particularly expensive piece of necessary swag in our digital age is a laptop — and especially for college kids, a cheap little notebook just won’t do. I’ve researched and rounded up some of the best-reviewed laptops available at the lowest prices to help you find a powerful machine at the least painful price.
Dell XPS 13 (9310)
This laptop is thin, light and boasts a long battery life, and it was rated the best ultrabook by Wirecutter. The site likes the Dell XPS 13 (9310) because it “offers the best balance of what makes an ultrabook great: It’s exceptionally light and compact, its battery will last through a full day of work or classes, and it has a good keyboard and trackpad.” The only downside? If you need a USB-A, you’ll likely have to buy a hub or dock — but it does come with one USB-C to A adapter. And yes, it is pricey — but you can get $100 off on Amazon right now.
Microsoft Surface Pro 8 13″
Some people are just tablet people who want to be able to type. If that’s you, this version of the Surface comes with a detachable keyboard and is a 2-in-1 machine: meaning you can use a mouse or the touch screen. However, it’s pricier than a lot of machines — and yes, the keyboard does cost extra. But, the improvements in this latest version of the Surface line are palpable, according to PC Mag, which has repeatedly named it an Editor’s Choice winner and highlights “the Pro 8’s boosted performance, smart redesign, and new stylus.”
Lenovo Yoga 7i (14″)
Like I said above, cheaper laptops don’t always fit the bill for busy students. However, Wirecutter is a fan of this inexpensive-for-an-ultrabook machine. “The Yoga 7i is the best laptop you can get for the price. It offers performance similar to that of our top pick (remember the Dell?), but it’s larger and heavier and has a shorter battery life,” the site writes. And at just around $650 on sale at Best Buy, you really won’t break the bank with this one.
Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
TechRadar calls this laptop “easily one of the most exciting Apple laptops of recent years,” calling out its M1 chip as “a real game-changer” with both M1-optimized apps and iOS apps that are “very impressive.” It also offers great battery life and “excellent performance,” the site notes. And even though this isn’t technically on sale, the just under-$1,000 price — as a long-time Mac user myself — is very appealing. However, it has a small number of ports which can be inconvenient but supplemented with hubs or new cables.
EXPENSIVE, BUT WORTH IT FOR CREATIVE PROS
Dell XPS 15 9500 Laptop
This is Wirecutter’s top pick for creative professionals — which by my estimates, is probably ideal for art students and folks who need to run big programs like Photoshop or FinalCut Pro. “The XPS 15’s screen is a pleasure to work on—it’s taller than the screens in most other laptops, which gives your apps more space to spread out,” Wirecutter writes. Its battery life is also excellent. It is pricey, but in these instances, you tend to get what you pay for. The only additional downside — as is the case with many of these machines it seems — is its lack of ports. But again, that’s an easy problem to fix with a dock or hub.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK - Comcast Corp. and Cox Communications Inc., the largest and fourth-largest U.S. cable-television operators, said yesterday that the Securities and Exchange Commission has asked them for information about how they count subscribers.
About 20 telephone, wireless and cable TV companies have been asked about subscriber data by the SEC, according to a person familiar with the matter. Comcast and Cox received SEC inquiries last month, said Comcast spokeswoman D'Arcy Rudnay and Cox spokesman Bobby Amirshahi. Both declined to comment further.
The companies could be hurt by disclosure that they have fewer subscribers because investors use the figures to measure potential revenue growth, said Aryeh Bourkoff, an analyst at UBS Securities LLC. Investors have more closely scrutinized customer levels after Adelphia Communications Corp.'s founders were accused of inflating its numbers, he said.
"Given that cable operators are valued on a subscriber basis, it could have significant effect," Bourkoff said in a research note to investors. "We do not expect any adjustments" to the number of subscribers at these companies, he said.
Verizon Communications Inc., SBC Communications Inc., BellSouth Corp. and Alltel Corp. received letters from the SEC seeking customer data as part of the agency's informal inquiry.
Verizon, the largest U.S. local-telephone company, said yesterday that it had overstated long-distance customer lines by 1.5 million, or 9 percent, because of a database flaw. The New York-based company said it discovered the error before it got the June 18 SEC letter.
"We're concerned because long-distance is perceived as a retention tool" for keeping Verizon's local-phone customers from switching to other phone carriers, including cable companies, said Todd Rosenbluth, an analyst at Standard & Poor's Equity Research in New York. He rates Verizon shares "hold" and doesn't own them. "This doesn't affect their revenue."
Comcast, based in Philadelphia, said in April that it had 21.5 million customers for its basic cable TV service, a package of networks that includes Viacom Inc.'s CBS and Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN channels, at the end of the first quarter. Those customers pay Comcast about $49.31 a month on average for cable TV. The company also said it had 1.25 million phone customers.
Cox said it had 6.4 million basic video customers and 1.1 million phone customers as of March 31.
Shares of Comcast rose 13 cents to close at $27.96 yesterday on the Nasdaq stock market. Shares of Atlanta-based Cox fell 16 cents to $27.75 on the New York Stock Exchange.
After seeing New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer take the lead pursuing cases over analyst conflicts and mutual fund trading abuses, the SEC has decided to push harder to uncover malfeasance at companies, said Russell Ryan, a partner at King & Spalding in Washington and a former enforcement lawyer for the SEC.
"The [SEC's] enforcement division has made a decision to be more pro-active in ferreting things out at companies rather than being reactive," Ryan said.
Some newspaper publishers disclosed last month that they had inflated circulation numbers, angering investors.
Hollinger International Inc. said June 15 that it overstated circulation at the Chicago Sun-Times. Its shares had their biggest drop in more than eight years the next day.
Tribune Co., whose Newsday and Hoy papers on Long Island, N.Y., were found to have overstated sales figures, said circulation department executives at all 14 of its newspapers, will be required to verify the accuracy of their numbers every quarter. Tribune Co. also owns The Sun.
Time Warner Inc.'s cable unit hasn't received an inquiry from the SEC, spokesman Keith Cocozza said. Adelphia also hasn't been contacted, spokeswoman Erica Stull said.
Charter Communications Inc. and Cablevision Systems Corp. didn't return calls for comment.

Farmers across the world rely on LPG as an adaptable power source to keep their businesses growing. LPG allows them to meet the challenge of staying competitive in the modern agricultural environment, whilst maintaining a commitment to sustainable development. No other fuel offers a comparable combination of portability, accessibility and convenience of use. LPG is used to increase the production and quality of farm products through crop harvesting, crop drying, weed flaming and other uses as below.
Typical applications of LPG in Agriculture include:
- Constant temperature control for brooders
- Hot water for sanitation and other uses
- Space heating for poultry sheds, fish farms, greenhouses and nurseries
- Cost effective power generators
- Forklift fuel
- Flame weeding and pest control without chemical
- Handling and processing of meat and other food products
- CO2 generation for plant growth enhancement.
- Drying produce such as cotton, grains, milk products, nuts & tobacco
- As a diesel fuel substitute, in machinery, to reduce costs and emissions
Whether used for livestock-rearing, crop-drying, weed and animal waste disposal or simply fuelling agricultural machinery, LPG is an essential tool for the contemporary farmer; clean combustion ensures crops, feeds and litter are not contaminated. The CO2 by-product can be diverted and repurposed to increase yields in greenhouses whilst the moist heat given out by LPG can help induce rapid, even feathering of poultry.
As farmers seek more environmentally friendly production methods, LPG is the clear choice. It enables farmers to achieve responsible results, that is, farming can be done organically and efficiently. LPG provides a cleaner, greener, versatile energy source for farmers, whatever the application, LPG is a viable alternative fuel ready to power modern agriculture all across the world.

|Matthew Moroun, vice chairman of his family's Detroit International Bridge Co., is fighting efforts for a new bridge in southwest Detroit. Photo by Rosh Sillars
Ask Matthew Moroun, whose family owns the Ambassador Bridge, about the controversy surrounding plans for a second, government-funded span linking Detroit to Windsor, and he’ll pause several seconds before answering.
But when he does reply, he doesn’t mince words, dismissing the financial case made by Canadian and Michigan officials for the proposed $2.1 billion New International Trade Crossing (NITC) as “political math.”
“It doesn’t work,” he says. “No real businessperson or private sector business could ever live on math like this. You need to have a taxpayer treasury to be able to make this kind of stuff work.”
Canadian lawmakers and many Michigan officials — most notably Gov. Rick Snyder — are pushing for the second Detroit-Windsor crossing, which would compete with the Ambassador Bridge, to improve the flow of commercial and passenger traffic. Snyder announced his support for the span during his first State of the State address in January, saying “every farmer and manufacturer in the state can tell you why it’s important to have international trade.”
That sparked a public relations blitz from the Moroun family, who have owed the Ambassador Bridge since the late 1970s — it was the world’s longest suspension bridge when it was built in the 1920s. Although family patriarch Manuel “Matty” Moroun is famously shy of publicity, son Matthew, 38, vice chairman of the family’s Detroit International Bridge Co., has been granting a slew of interviews to state the case for maintaining private sector control of the border-crossing business in Detroit. He also testified in June before the Michigan Senate’s Economic Development Committee about legislation that would pave the way for the government-funded span. Testimony is still under way in the Senate committee.
“The best outcome is to continue with the success that we as a region have had with southeastern Michigan border crossings for the last 80 years, especially with the Ambassador Bridge, where no taxpayer resources or government resources have been used whatsoever — not to construct, not to operate, not to maintain what is one of the most important and the most efficiently run border crossings on our nation’s border,” he told Corp! during an early August interview at the company’s headquarters in Warren, where the family’s Central Transport trucking business is also based. “So the best outcome is to keep government out of what the private sector has handled by itself, and quite successfully.”
The New International Trade Crossing, proposed to extend from the Delray neighborhood downriver from the Ambassador Bridge in southwest Detroit, would be jointly owned by Canadian and Michigan governmental units, but would be privately built and operated.
Moroun contends that traffic projections by “highway bureaucrats” showing the need for another crossing are wildly optimistic. The government-owned crossing not only would compete with the existing bridge but also a second, $1 billion span that they plan to build alongside it.

Measles – Ukraine – Update
The measles outbreak in Ukraine has topped 30,000 cases early into 2019. According to the Center for Public Health of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, 30,794 people – 13,825 adults and 16,969 children–have been affected through Mar. 14. In addition, a 9-year-old girl in the Rivne region died from complications of measles making her the 11th measles-related death.
Pork Tapeworm – Vietnam
An outbreak of the pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, has affected at least 209 children from Thanh Khuong Commune in the northern province of Bac Ninh, Vietnam.
Foot and mouth disease spreads to the whole of the Korean peninsula
In the wake of the South Korean government’s battle to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease following an outbreak in three farmhouses in the cities of Anseong and Chungju earlier this year, North Korean livestock industry insiders have reported that Pyongyang is also struggling with a nationwide spread of the disease outbreak that began in the middle of January. Multiple sources across three regions of North Korea reported that foot-and-mouth outbreaks in their respective areas have led to the death of many work cattle on collective farms. The vast majority of collective farms lack appropriate supplies such as disinfectants and quicklime. They also lack an understanding of the disease itself and frequently expect the disease to resolve itself naturally while in quarantine.

17 June 2020
The European Commission announced last week that Kastus, a spin-out company of TU Dublin Hothouse, would receive a grant worth over €1.6m. Kastus was one of 36 European companies selected for their pioneering work which will contribute to the fight against the coronavirus.
Kastus received the funding via the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator Pilot for its Spyglass project - a disruptive antimicrobial coating for the protection of glass surfaces and designed to tackle the emergent crisis of resistant microbes and viruses. Testing conducted by a leading global test house last month confirmed its effectiveness against the coronavirus that has led to the pandemic.
Kastus is the culmination of twelve years of research at the Centre for Research in Engineering Surface Technology (CREST) at TU Dublin.

On a rutted street in Oaks Mobile Home Park, just outside the dwelling where an 8-year-old girl lived, a big sign says, “Caution. Children at play. Speed limit 5 mph.”
But someone showed no caution early Tuesday morning, firing bullets that pierced the thin skins of the old mobile homes, many occupied by small children, with strollers and brightly painted little bikes parked outside. One bullet struck the 8-year-old girl in the head as she slept, killing her instantly, Wichita police said. Next door, a bullet grazed a 46-year-old woman in the head as she watched a movie in her living room with her husband and daughter.
Police said the gunfire erupted during an altercation between a group of men and a man in a stolen car.
“It’s unbelievable” that someone would open fire in the middle of a neighborhood, one resident said Tuesday afternoon. “And it was all over a car. That little girl lost her life over a car,” she said, asking not to be named for her privacy and security.
A man driving a stolen car got into an argument shortly after 3 a.m. with four men in an apartment parking lot in the 3000 block of South Broadway, police Lt. Todd Ojile said. As the man drove off, one of the four men pulled out a gun and began firing.
Wichita police made an arrest in the case Tuesday evening, Lt. Doug Nolte said. Sedgwick County Jail records show Zachary Gaston, 24, was booked shortly after 7 p.m. on suspicion of felony murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and shooting at an occupied dwelling.
Early Tuesday, the gunman fired the first volley from the parking lot, Ojile said, then ran after the car into the mobile home park next door and fired more shots.
At the girl’s home, police found a bullet hole in an outside wall as they were checking the neighborhood and knocked on the front door.
They pointed out the bullet hole, Ojile said.
“They went back inside and found the child,” he said.
“There are no words to describe finding an 8-year-old asleep in her bed with a gunshot wound.”
Her 4-year-old sister and 6-year-old brother were asleep and unharmed in the same bed.
As officers headed to the scene, Ojile said, they were informed that the four men all ran into the same apartment or hotel room next to the parking lot where the first shots were fired.
All four men were taken in for questioning, and Ojile said police think one of them is the shooter. Nolte said late Tuesday he was unable to provide information on the other three men police interviewed.
Police weren’t sure whether the man in the car fired shots as well.
“We’re still investigating that,” Ojile said.
Authorities were still looking for the stolen car, a black Ford Focus with the Kansas license plate 511 EVP. The car may have bullet holes in it, Ojile said. Anyone who has information about the incident or the missing man should call the homicide section at 316-268-4181 or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
Steven Ludlow heard gunfire and through an open front door saw a black car take off past the mobile home where he was staying. Just across the road from him, maybe 10 yards away, he saw a man holding what looked like a .45-caliber handgun, with his arms extended, firing toward the black car while standing behind another vehicle.
Ludlow, 36, counted eight shots – an initial three shots, then another succession closer together.
The gunman was wearing a white ball cap, a T-shirt with black stripes and blue pants. He then ran to the north between two mobile homes across the road from Ludlow. Ludlow called 911 and reported it.
Next door, Dusten McDonough was watching the movie “Tremors” with his wife, Kimberly McDonough. He heard a bang and yelled, “Get down! Get down!”
A bullet grazed her in the head, leaving a wound that required 12 staples.
Around 10 a.m. Tuesday, McDonough pointed to a broken window in the front of their home where a bullet apparently entered. “I was sitting right in back of where that hole was,” he said. A blood-stained blue towel, used to wrap his wife’s head, still lay across a railing outside.
Another neighbor, Charles Peters, said he heard “pop, pop, pop” and later heard a woman across from him saying something like her “baby was gone.” The woman paced back and forth.
In the daylight Tuesday, Peters could see the girl’s purple and pink bike, its kick stand down, apparently where she left it. He once helped her raise the bike seat.
Danielle Wilborn, who lives in one of the bullet-stricken homes next to the girl, said, “It’s really sad that an 8-year-old girl got killed.”
She saw the girl’s mother’s grief after the shooting.
“The lady was out screaming and punched the police car because of her daughter.”
Speaking of the girl, Wilborn said, “She was just a happy little girl. She just rode her bike with the others.”
Police marked an apparent bullet hole at the girl’s home with the number 3.
The girl was a third-grader at Enterprise Elementary. She attended White Elementary last school year. The school district sent members of the crisis response team to both schools Tuesday morning.
According to neighbors, the girl had lived at the mobile home park since the beginning of the year.
Kimberly McDonough was taken to a hospital and released. Tuesday afternoon, she said she had been watching a movie when she heard a “poof” sound and felt “blood rolling down my face.” She ran to her bathroom. A neighbor wrapped a towel around her head and had her sit down outside.
When she came home from the hospital, she learned that the girl next door had been killed by the gunfire. “That is awful,” McDonough said as she rested with a bandage around her head. “My head hurts so bad, still.”
“I hope the police find these people. … When you kill an innocent child,” she said, her voice trailing off.
She had just moved into the trailer home in July. “I’m thankful to be alive. I really do send my blessing out to that little girl who died and her mother.”

What is true gratitude, and how can it make a difference in our lives? In this segment, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani and Ustadh Amjad Tarsin answer some commonly asked questions about this topic. Q: How do you find ways to forgive when it’s very difficult? A: This is a good question, because we should be real […]
Seven years ago today, Shaykh Emad Effat died of a gunshot wound when Egyptian soldiers clashed with demonstrators – of which Shaykh Emad was one – protesting against the country’s military leaders in downtown Cairo. He became known as “Shaykh al-Thawra” (the shaykh of the revolution) and “Shaheed al-Azhar” (the martyr of the Azhar). Seven years on, I still ponder a great deal about Shaykh Emad, what he represented, what lessons he taught those of us who believed in the January 25th revolution of Egypt, and the roles that religious leaders play today in the region from whence he came.
Umm Ayyub was an ordinary lady with extraordinary patience and strength. She was a very ordinary women, so ordinary that you wouldn’t notice her. She was so ordinary that I still don’t know her name to this very day. I don’t remember where I first met her, or when I met her. In fact, I […]
What is true gratitude, and how can it make a difference in our lives? In this segment, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani helps us understand the reality of gratitude.

Shaykh Faraz Rabbani and Shaykh Muhammad Ba-Dhib speak about the history of the famous work of praise, Dala’il Khayrat, and the central role it played historically in Muslim life. The blessings that we get by seeking blessings on the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, are many and countless. The great scholars and […]
When we live up to the ideals and deep, moral standards of the religion, we can be hopeful of something tremendous from Allah in the hereafter. After all, this life is merely a means to the next, and not an end-goal in and of itself. Earning a livelihood is something that most of us can probably relate to, but our fast-paced lives, however, can sometimes hinder our ability to simply pause for a moment and review our trajectory into eternity. Seldom is a moment of contemplation void of any lasting benefit when it is for Allah.
Indeed, whenever, we celebrate by commemorating the birth of the Prophet, blessing and peace be upon him, or the Hijra (his flight from Makkah to Madinah), or the Isra and Mi’raj (the Night Journey and Ascension), or the month of Sha’ban, then we invite people to connect with their minds, hearts and emotions to the realities and the events that fill the vast spaces of these moments.
The love of the Prophet is shining on the faces of his lovers this month. Many are reciting Imam Busiri’s Burda poem. But is it a bid’ah (blameworthy innovation?) Shaykh Muhammad Ba-Dhib explains in this lecture. In Praise of the Prophet The praise of the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and mention […]

Sierra Nevada Mountains - Granada, Spain
The Sierra Nevada region in Spain has a mountain range that runs right into the ocean and is home to terrain perfect for trail running. Much of the range is in a national park that makes the trails accessible. However, I can only say the trail running LOOKS incredible since on this trip I did three days of biking in the mountains and didn’t have a chance to get run in. Previous to this trip, my biking experience was limited to triathlons and long distance biking with friends in relatively flat locations in Berlin, Amsterdam and Ohio. I also did not understand what the mountain stages in the Tour de France must be like, but now I know.
We spent three days on these epic climbs for about 15,000 ft (4500m) of elevation gain. We made climbs to the towns of Veleta and Cáñar and also a path known as La cabra. We also had to carry up extra gear for the ride down since at the 8,200 ft (2500m) point of Veleta there was snow and temperatures near freezing. It was almost tough to control the bike on the way down because of my body‘s violent shivering. The Sierra Nevada’s will go into my bucket list of places for an ultrarunning adventure.
When already in Europe there are relatively inexpensive flights with good timing that can be found to the Malaga, Spain airport since it is served by low cost carriers EasyJet and Ryanair. A rental car is useful since only one of the rides was directly from the town of Almuñécar. However, one of my friends used the bus service and said it was quite convenient.
Where to Stay
We choose to stay in the town of Almuñécar since the town had an ocean view, but if I were going solo, I might have chosen to be closer to the trails in the mountains.


Competitive strategy implementation and its challenges in early childhood development education institutions Nairobi city county, Kenya
The education sector in Kenya has undergone major changes in the recent years. One of the major changes has been an upsurge of competition in the sector, this has been attributed to the high entry levels of private investors into the sector. The early childhood development education has undergone such metamorphosis, in the past this institutions were more or less initiatives of the community or the church, currently 80% of this institutions are owned by private investors. Competition in the provision of this service is cut throat, with this the operators have been forced to adopt competitive strategies to survive. These competitive strategies have to be reviewed from time to time according to the changes in the environment. This is what inspired this study, to look at the implementation of these competitive strategies and the challenges faced by these institutions during the implementation process. The study adopted a sample survey design, data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Porter asserts that there are three generic strategies these are focus strategy, differentiation strategy and cost leadership strategy. The study established that the ECDE institutions adopted differentiation and cost leadership strategies to a greater extent. Through provision of unique extracurricular activities, subjects and provision of transport services most of this institutions achieved the differentiation strategy. Differentiation strategy posed a challenge during the implementation process due to the exorbitant implementation cost of the strategy and the ever changing customer needs. Cost leadership strategies were used to a great extent but the challenge was the need to strike a balance in order to break even. Focus strategy was used but to a lesser extent. Therefore there is need for further studies to be done on other strategies that can be adopted by ECDE institutions and also focus on other counties in Kenya

Some highlights of the report include:
- A community plan for action, with strategies from the MAPP Core Group, community coalitions, and organizations receiving MAPP implementation funding (pages 37–57) à for several Nelson County-specific implementation strategies, see pages 44 & 48
- Recommendations from the Diabetes Steering Committee, a community-led group that identified recommendations to address access to services and diabetes disparities for African American and Latino communities within the district (pages 67–73)
- Themes from Photovoice projects conducted across the district (pages 58–66); photos throughout the report were taken by community members
- Over 100 pages of community health data organized by MAPP priority (pages 74–212)
- Recommended best practices by MAPP priority (pages 219–221)
We are grateful to you for devoting significant expertise, time, and energy to the 2019 MAPP process and for committing resources and capital to improve health equity in our community. We look forward to continued collaboration with you and the communities we serve to take action that will move us closer to achieving health equity for all.
Thank you for your dedication and partnership.

Letter: In Pittsfield, vision is sadly lacking
In Pittsfield, vision is sadly lacking
To the editor:
What a weekend. Living in a Cincinnati, Ohio, suburb, it is rare to be able to visit Pittsfield where I grew up, let alone be there on the July 4 weekend. I had dinner with friends and visited homes where we lived. Much had changed, so much had not.
A key reason for stopping was to honor my friend Jim Shulman for his work bringing the Berkshire Carousel to fruition. He is a historical visionary who sees an opportunity to enhance Pittsfield's image and bring new visitors to the city center.
What had not changed, however, was the lack of vision of city leaders.
I listened to friends who still call Pittsfield home speak of providing prime real estate from the General Electric plant site for a proposed Walmart Supercenter. There is no vision there. Why more retail especially on this property that will siphon business from existing stores?
Pittsfield's leadership history of being visionary is a zero. From the 1960s, it was always worried General Electric would be slighted if they sought new industry. GE opened the door, walked out and left a mess.
City Councils from that period had no idea what type of "industry" should be sought. Today, new industry is not manufacturing. The city has squandered state funds provided to bring in business with zero success.
By vision, I mean what kind of businesses makes sense for the city to market itself as a potential home today? Hi-tech? Startups need low-cost space and cost-of-living found in a place like Pittsfield. What about engineering companies? Same answer. How about financial services, advertising, marketing?
When presented with the prospect of living in a great small city but only two hours from clients on the I-95 beltway of Boston it might be very enticing. Startups have moved from California to Cincinnati because there is a concentration of available labor and low cost of living.
Long-term vision, a new Walmart? The business community and City Council must think differently.
I know there is much castigating of GE for what it left behind. Has anyone thought to call CEO Jeff Immelt and ask him to consider placing a facility such as I mentioned on the old property? You could even give the company some of the land back, no charge. GE is advertising it is a technology company that happens to manufacture stuff.
The city needs to make a business decision instead of a knee-jerk decision, and tell them it's time to change.
Gerry Korkin, Cincinnati

Le Le Chinese is a series of highly-engaging children’ books which taught my child to read 1300+ characters in a fun way! It comes with a pen which can read the individual chinese characters.
Teaching kids to read in Chinese
Becoming literate requires good early learning resources. As parents who cannot read Chinese, it’s taken a lot of research to work out which books our children should be reading. We have deliberately put small doses of Chinese reading into our daily routines, and here are the books and which helped to make literacy possible!

Things made out of LEGOS and parody album covers get a cool treatment from artist Aaron Savage, who’s managed to combine the two to make spectacular art.
In a project Savage calls “Brick The LP,” over 48 album covers are reimagined as Lego blocks.
Savage used many albums we all know and love, from classics like Michael Jackson’s Thriller, to De La Soul’s 3 Feet High & Rising.
Savage’s LEGO albums look just as good as the actual albums.
Take a look at a few of them in the gallery above.


Turkish Cypriot Speaker of the House Sibel Siber held a press conference evaluating the first year of parliament, ‘Kibris Postasi’ reports.
Replying to a question about next year’s presidential elections and the possibility of her running for office, Siber said:
“I get asked this question very often and I sense that behind this question there is a demand and desire for my candidacy. If I see a concrete demand and desire coming from people, I would of course would not evade the responsibility. I would be honoured to serve as the president”.
As a CTP-BG MP, Siber said her decision would be based on her party’s will. Noting that the demand should come from her party, Siber said if the messages did not indicate that direction, she would not consider to run for the presidency.
Siber also said that the country’s most crucial problem is being outside of international law and added that the reason she entered active politics was to work for a future in which Cyprus becomes the “Island of Peace”.

PHDCCI & BSE come together to galvanize resources for Freedom-74
The intense scarcity of medical oxygen cylinders remains a stark ground reality that has hampered the functioning of hospitals and healthcare facilities across India during the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic. In this regard, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) and the BSE –rated as one of the fastest exchanges in the world, and the financial fraternity have come forward to generate and amplify resources for setting up of an oxygen plant which will be placed at New-Delhi-based Tirath Ram Shah Charitable Hospital (TRSCH) – a 200-bedded hospital inaugurated in 1955 by the first president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. The noble initiative is suitably titled–Mission Oxygen–TRSCH Achieves Freedom-74.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the PHDCCI and the TRSCH hospital provides for support of oxygen only to patients in general ward and those who cannot afford healthcare on a no-cost basis.
While grappling with the second wave of Covid-19, there was a substantial demand from TRSCH for medical oxygen, Mr Vijay Bhushan, Chair, Capital and Commodity Market Committee at PHDCCI made an appeal to BSE, corporates and individuals to raise funds for the initiative with PHDCCI as the main facilitator.
I congratulate Mr Vijay Bhushan and BSE for coming together for such a Noble cause of setting up an Oxygen plant at TRSCH, which will ensure continuous free supply of oxygen in the hospital and help save many lives in these crucial times of the pandemic, said Mr Sanjay Aggarwal, President, PHDCCI.
PHDCCI has stood by the Nation in these trying times and undertaken the noble task of importing 10 Oxygen plants, which shall be implanted, as donations, in various Hospitals and nursing homes across India, added Mr Aggarwal.
Elaborating on the initiative, Mr. Vijay Bhushan, Chair, Capital and Commodity Market Committee, PHDCCI, said,”Freedom-74 signifies the aggregate contribution of Rs 74 lakh collected for Mission Oxygen–TRSCH for setting up of an oxygen plant. But more than this, we attained freedom in 1947 and 74 years later in 2021, TRSCH will achieve freedom from dependence on outside oxygen and will become Aatmanirbhar.”
Similarly, Mr. Ashishkumar Chauhan, Managing Director and CEO, BSE, said, “BSE is happy to be a part of this noble initiative. PHD has been a key facilitator who has taken up the initiative. We all are well aware of the serious situation that has prevailed due to extreme shortage of medical oxygen in the hospitals across the country. It gives us immense satisfaction to have been able to galvanise resources. BSE appeals to all its members to contribute to such causes so that we can provide help when necessary to our communities”
BSE , Globe Capital Market Ltd, including other corporates and individuals have come forward for the common cause.
Essentially, there are three types of hospitals operating in India: private, government and trust-run. While the running of private hospitals is funded by the respective private entity promoting them, the government-run hospitals are suitably supported by the government, as the name suggests. In the recent pandemic in Delhi, while the government has taken over private hospitals by bringing them into the fold, it has failed to satisfactorily address the concerns of the trust-run hospitals. In this regard, PHDCCI has come forward to set-up a test/model to provide support to trust-run hospitals. If this model is successful, PHDCCI plans to scale up this initiative further.
PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) has been working as a catalyst for the promotion of Indian industry, trade and entrepreneurship for the past 116 years. It is a forward looking, proactive and dynamic pan-India apex organization. As a partner in progress with industry and government, PHD Chamber with a special focus on MSMEs works at the grass roots level, with strong national and international linkages for propelling progress, harmony and integrated development of the Indian economy.

Bolton in Barcelona, Spain, January 2010
Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953), known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and songwriter. Bolton originally performed in the hard rock and heavy metal genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. He became better known for his series of pop rock ballads, recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.

Louie's Wine Dive to add second metro location
Louies Wine Dive, a popular Des Moines restaurant and bar, is expanding.
Jason Kapela, one of Louis owners, said the Waukee location could open in June if construction on the space goes smoothly. The restaurant will be located in a new commercial development near Hy-Vee, west of the the corner of Alices and Hickman roads.
Kapela said the Waukee Louies will have the same food and wine menu as the first Des Moines location, which opened in 2012 in the Uptown Shopping Center at 4040 University Ave. The space will seat about 120, which is a little larger than Des Moines, he said. A large patio will accommodate 60 more people and be located on the east side of the building.
So many Waukee customers frequent the busy Des Moines Louies that it seemed natural to find a location out west, he said.
Kapela and his partners, Whitney VinZant and Corey Gonzalez of Kansas City, also are building a Louies Wine Dive in Minneapolis. They also have a franchise location in Omaha.
Louies eclectic menu includes regional American dishes like shrimp and grits, steak deburgo, lobster poutine.

from the Buffalo News, Seated alongside B. Thomas Golisano in the owner's suite, the commissioner of the NHL couldn't help but smile. "It's spectacular to see this building this filled, this alive, this energized," he said. "This is what I've always known hockey in Buffalo to be." read on
from the Courier Post,
The latest trade rumor involving the Flyers has goaltender Robert Esche and perhaps Donald Brashear heading to Vancouver for Canucks hulking winger Todd Bertuzzi. Bertuzzi's agent, Pat Morris, could not be reached for comment on Friday, but his partner, Don Meehan, said he was not aware of such a deal. "I can tell you on the record I haven't heard a thing like that," Meehan said. "Not a word."
from Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun via Slam,
Regardless of what happens between now and Thursday's trading deadline, it says here Darryl Sutter has already sewn up GM of the year honours. In what first appeared to be a relatively insignificant deal involving a minor-league tough guy for a veteran defenceman, Sutter brought to Calgary one of the biggest talents the city has ever seen.read on
via the Philadelphia Inquirer,
With 1 minute, 53 seconds remaining in the third period and the game long decided, the rugged winger (Brashear) attacked Kasparaitis, who refused to drop his gloves. For the incident, Brashear was given 29 minutes in penalties and the automatic suspension. "It was perfect the way they responded to me, with Brashear going after me on every shift," said Kasparaitis, who anticipated the Flyers would want to settle a score for taking out Gagne. "I'm not fighting Brashear. That's not my game. I'll get beat up."
from the Toronto Star,
Don't be surprised if the Edmonton Oilers take a serious run at Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour before next Thursday's trade deadline. With his team's playoff fortunes sinking fast, largely because of sub-par goaltending, Oilers GM Kevin Lowe is under considerable pressure to get a proven NHL stopper and there is speculation that he has Belfour, not the much-speculated Curtis Joseph, in his sights.continued
from the Edmonton Sun,
He's always been a regular-season force, closing in on 1,000 points, but Tkachuk's teams have never gone far in the playoffs, bowing out in the first round nine of 11 times. He's only made it as far as the third round once. He doesn't want to be the Dan Marino of the NHL, but knows he's running out of time. "I want to win,'' he said. "It's very difficult to win, there's a lot of guys who haven't, but there's no question in my mind I want to win a Stanley Cup. "It doesn't look like it's going to happen this year because I'm not waiving my no trade, and if it doesn't happen ever, it's not from a lack of trying. Hopefully I have about three more years left and we'll see what happens.''read on
from the Arizona Republic,
The trade deadline is Thursday, but Gretzky said he doesn't expect any major deals around the league until Tuesday at the earliest. Gretzky also said the Coyotes aren't being very active. "At this point in time, we're still mostly answering calls rather than making calls," Gretzky said.Also from the same article,
Tonight's game at Glendale Arena is sold out, which is not surprising considering the opponent is the Detroit Red Wings. Valley hockey fans typically come out en masse when the Red Wings play here and neutralize Phoenix's home-ice advantage.more
from the Edmonton Journal,
Is anybody keeping track of hockey's Cheechoo train? Sharks winger Jonathan Cheechoo, who set up Joe Thornton's third-period goal Friday, has 28 goals in 34 games over a three-month stretch. Nobody in the NHL has high-balled it like Jumbo Joe's sidekick. Cheechoo has 35 goals, including 18 on the power play and seven clutch goals in the last five minutes of games.continued

"A lot of teams don't have cap room," Lacroix said. "It's a new era, a new landscape. So when you make a trade, you need to have both your hockey hat and your accountant hat, but that's all right. ... If we could find someone to tango with who has about the same wares and same soup, we'll have to, we'll do it." ..."Thus far, there has not been a real sentiment to move players for draft picks," Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Jay Feaster told the St. Petersburg Times.

Enter Al McKinney of Lachine, until now the unknown Igor to whom every hockey goalie of the past five decades owes a few of their own teeth. Almost 50 years ago, face caked in a thick plaster, straws inserted up his nostrils so he wouldn't suffocate, McKinney surrendered himself to Bill Burchmore, a sales and promotion manager at Montreal-headquartered Fiberglas Canada Ltd. Then, on Nov. 1, 1959, Canadiens goaler Jacques Plante skated onto Madison Square Garden ice behind a fiberglass mask.

Miami Shark better than Street Shark. Truth.
It's really surprising how much fun this game is. Unlimited play mode please.
Fun but lacking.
As much fun as this game is, and it totally is, I can't help but shake the feeling that it was really all over before it started. With only one boss and very little enemy variety, it really feels like a demo for a game that only lets you play the first stage. So really, I'm asking for more stages and more bosses. This thing has the potential to be truly great (not to mention absolutely hilarious), so don't let this be the last we see if this.
God I love NG.
It's where the magic happens.
Fix this thing up, and you'll have something great
Once you run up to an enemy, they can simply punch you to death, and there's no way to dodge, block, or counter. Getting hit also prevents you from punching back, which I think is a big mistake.
Give the player more abilities, and give the enemies something to do other than stand there waiting to punch you.
This is a start, but I wouldn't call this a finished game yet.

Durban - Inkosi Khayelihle Mathaba, the controversial traditional leader involved in long spats over land with northern KwaZulu-Natal farmers, has died in a car crash in Zululand.
The accident happened on the R66 in Nkwalini, outside Melmoth on Saturday, but his body was found only on Sunday morning in his car, which had been obscured by trees.
Transport spokesman Kwanele Ncalane said Mathaba’s vehicle had crashed on a bend.
“Inkosi was the only occupant in the car when the accident happened at around 11.30pm on Saturday night,” said Ncalane.
The accident happened close to where seven Zulu maidens were killed when their bus crashed when they were returning from the Reed Dance last year.
Mathaba was born in Mtunzini near Richards Bay. He held a diploma in administration from the University of Zululand.
A member of the KwaZulu-Natal Provincial House of Traditional Leaders and a former IFP member of the provincial legislature, Mathaba was frequently in the spotlight for his land claim controversies.
In 2013, the Bhekamafa Community Trust took him to court, accusing him of misappropriating R14 million linked to a land claim.
Members of the community also accused him of violence and victimisation.
Mathaba was also determined to remove the Dunn farming clan from their land, something he had pushed for since the 1990s.
The Dunns inherited the land from their ancestor, John Dunn, who was an aide of King Cetshwayo kaMpande in the 1870s.
When the matriarch of the clan, Pat Dunn, died in April, KwaZulu-Natal violence monitor Mary de Haas was reported as saying she was “courageous and brave” for living with Mathaba’s death threats.

Intel Gemini Lake is supposed to be the upcoming generation of entry-level CPUs. Leaked roadmaps showed us that these CPUs will be announced before the end of the year but it is more than likely that these CPUs will be released in early 2018.
Intel Gemini Lake will feature processors for the Celeron and Pentium brands. These will be dual core CPUs for the entry level market. Intel Gemini Lake will be based on the 14nm process and will feature better performance and lower power consumption as compared to previous generation CPUs.
According to the new change log found in a Linux kernel patch, the Intel Gemini Lake CPU will not only have faster cores but better integrated graphics as well. The CPUs will have hardware decoding support for 10-bit video formats like VP9. The change-log entry is as follows:
“Add support for Gemini Lake (aka. GLK) – Decoding: H.264/MPEG-2/VC-1/JPEG/VP8/HEVC/HEVC 10-bit/VP9/VP9 10-bit.”
According to recent leaks, the mobile CPUs will have a TDP of 6W and the desktop versions will have a TDP of 10W. The CPUs will also come with 4 MB of L3 cache, this is double the amount as compared to the previous generations CPUs. According to reports, the new single-channel DDR4 integrated memory controller will also be a new feature.
This new feature will enable support for faster memory. Integrated WLAN controller may also be added into the mix. The integrated graphics are rumored to feature 8 execution units. The chip will also have support for high-resolution displays and HDMI 2.0 outputs.
Do take this information with a grain of salt as this has not been confirmed by Intel. You should wait for the official confirmation before taking this information to heart.
Let us know what you think about the features that the upcoming Intel Gemini Lake CPUs have to offer and whether or not you would be interested in buying one.


Kory Holdaway, government relations director for the Utah Education Association, was pleased with much of what he saw on the GOP list, especially the funding for enrollment growth and the 2 percent increase in the state funding formula.
The more than $100 million in new, ongoing funding for public education, he said, "is a big deal and very appreciated."
But Holdaway expressed concern that lawmakers didn't address the federal funds being lost by school districts as the result of the automatic budget cuts known as sequestration that took effect March 1.
The cuts, estimated at $9 million or more, largely will be felt by schools that serve low-income students and special education programs. Legislative leaders have said the state would not step in to make up lost federal dollars.
"I am a little disappointed that the Legislature has chosen to ignore the decrease," Holdaway said. "The local districts are going to have to raise that on their own."
Democrats, seeing the list for the first time Thursday, expressed frustration over what items weren't included.
Rep. Patrice Arent, D-Millcreek, said funding for the Sundance Film Festival and other Democratic priorities discussed in the Business, Economic Development and Labor Appropriations Subcommittee didn't make the final GOP cut.
The Republican's list for that subcommittee included everything from $1.5 million for state-controlled liquor stores to $95,000 for the Utah Marriage Commission, which would be enshrined into state law under pending legislation.
"I just don't even know what to say on this budget," Arent said. "This is a very different list in a lot of ways than what we saw."
