Gaza, MINA – Gaza Ulema Sheikh ‘Aathof Mahmud Hesyam Abu Bakar expressed his appreciation to Indonesian volunteers for the construction of Phase 2 Indonesia Hospital in Gaza, Palestine, as the chosen person of hundreds of millions of Indonesian Muslims.
“Respect from me and respect from the citizens of Gaza, Palestine, also to all of you as all of you certainly love and respect this blessed earth, Palestine especially Gaza,” Sheikh ‘Aathof told the volunteers.
“And you have been chosen from hundreds of millions of Muslims in Indonesia. You chosen to be present in this place are merely gifts from Allah subhanahu wa Ta’ala,” said alumni of Gaza Islamic University and Madinah University of Saudi Arabia with the title of mumtaz.
He revealed it to the Indonesian volunteers, while providing science study material with the theme “The Glory of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine”, after Ashar Prayer on Friday, 7 February 2020 at Wisma Indonesia next to the Indonesia Hospital.
According to him, it was a tribute to him, a father who had nine sons and five daughters, for being able to gather with brothers from Indonesia who had willingly traveled so far from Indonesia to Palestine to be together on a blessed earth.
On February 22, 2019, as 28 volunteers from Al-Fatah Indonesian Islamic Boarding School network were dispatched by MER-C (Medical Emergency Rescue-Committee), humanitarian medical agency to Gaza, Palestine. Now, for almost a year, they left their families, children, wives, and countries as volunteers to perfect the construction of Indonesian Hospital.
Shaykh ‘Aathof said the hospital was certainly proof of Indonesian Muslim community’s charity and proof of the Indonesian people’s charity for its Palestinian brothers and sisters.
“Indeed, from our deepest hearts and this is not ‘mujamalah’ (not good), but I and Palestinian people really learned a lot from the people of Indonesia from the ‘nidzhom’ (order) and ‘ihtirom’ (glory), order and I saw evidence in fact during the Hajj, “said the Sheikh, who is also the imam of the Rubaa Mosque.
Rubaa Mosque is located near the Indonesia Hospital.
“Every time, they see a group from Indonesia, both men and women, they move very neatly, in an orderly manner and regularly led by their group leaders. They move like one body and we call them the best citizens are Indonesian citizens, ” said the Sheikh, who claimed to have performed the Hajj four times.
Related to the study of science with the theme “The Glory of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine”, Sheikh ‘Aathof said that Al-Aqsa Mosque was ruled by the Jews so it was in danger.
An excavation took place underneath it and the attempt to destroy Al-Aqsa at the time they had planned was the time they had set.
It also happened in 1969, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Salahudin Al Ayubi pulpit were burned.
It happened during the time that Saudi Arabia was led by King Faisal and Israel was led by Golda Meir, a woman as Israel’s fourth Prime Minister in the period 17 March 1969 – 3 June 1974.
When the fire broke out at Al-Aqsa Mosque, they were very frightened, that night until many Israeli leaders could not sleep because they suspected Muslims would run amok, there would be large-scale Muslims coming together from various regions, maybe even from neighboring countries angrily will sue for the burning of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
But nothing happened, except only condemning verbal criticism. Finally, the next morning the Israeli authorities laughed, apparently the Muslims did nothing while their sanctified places in Palestine were burned, showing that the condition of the Muslims was really weak because they did not respond.
“Al-Aqsa is our soul, our creed and our religious law, so it is not a problem of land, not just a matter of place,” said Sheikh ‘Aathof who is currently a lecturer for teachers/Training of Trainer (TOT) and teachers at Madrasah Aliyah.
Next, he revealed the reason. First, Al-Aqsa Mosque is the first Qibla of the Muslims before the Kaaba in Makkah.
Three years, Prophet Muhammad Shallallaahu a Alaihi Wasallam and his companions in Makkah prayed to Al-Aqsa, then 16 to 17 months in Medina he still oriented to Al-Aqsa.
So, if there is a question about how long the Muslims will go to Al-Aqsa, then the answer is four years and four months.
The Prophet felt the anxiety of leading to Al-Aqsa because the Jews in Medina one and the other spoke mockingly, “Look at Muhammad with his followers, they do not want to be Jewish but are oriented towards the Qibla or our place to Al-Aqsa ”
Then, the Prophet Muhammad asked Allah for the Qibla to be changed and finally Allah set the Qibla to change from Aqsa Mosque to Haram Mosque.
Hope of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam was granted by Allah Azza wa Jalla with His words which means,” Really We (often) see your face looking up to the sky, then really We will turn you to the Qibla that you like. Turn your face towards the Grand Mosque. And wherever you are, turn your face towards him. “(Q.S. Al-Baqarah verse 144).
The second reason, Al-Aqsa Mosque is the goal of the journey or isra of Prophet Muhammad Salallahu‘ Alaihi Wasallam.
It is explained in the words of Allah Azza wa Jalla which means, “Glory be to Allah, who has carried out His servant one night from Al Masjidil Haram to Al Masjidil Aqsa which We have blessed around him so that We show him some of the signs (greatness) Us. Verily, He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. “(Surah Al Isra ‘verse 1).
The events of isra and mira are two types of travel, namely ufuqiyah (flat trip) and amutiyah (straight upward journey).
Ufuqiyah is from the Grand Mosque to Aqsa Mosque and amutiyah is the journey from Aqsa Mosque to the seventh heaven, namely Sidratul Muntaha.
The question: why not go straight from Mecca to the seventh heaven?
The purpose of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala is that Allah wants to bind Haram Mosque and Aqsa Mosque in one bond.
Allah wants to glorify Aqsa Mosque as glorious as the Grand Mosque. Allah wants if the Grand Mosque is loved by Muslims then Allah also wants Aqsa Mosque to be loved as Muslims love the Grand Mosque.
If the Grand Mosque is truly in the hearts of Muslims, then Allah also wants Al-Aqsa to be in the hearts of Muslims.
But this has not become a reality because many Muslims when asked about Al Aqsa just do not understand, in which city, in which country do not know, even the name Al Aqsa has just heard. (T/RE1)
Mi’raj News Agency (MINA)


Thanks partially to the inability to express criticism on the internet, it seems that a new style has emerged – a new feature of internet slang, to rant about their dissatisfaction. It’s called paoxiaoti (咆哮体), or “the roaring mode of writing”.
Basically, since you can’t really write Chinese in capital letters, it’s an explosion of exclamation marks… and it’s now taking over China’s online pop culture. What the maximum number of exclamatory marks can be used is disputed. Some say three, but the real deal only starts at five exclamation marks. The style that originally spread on RenRen, is unstoppable and has migrated into text messaging and e-mail. Even into into commercial advertising ah!!!!!
Originally, it was used to describe the performance style of Taiwanese actor Ma Jingtao, who roars and shouts really hard and loud in almost every TV drama he is in. As a tribute, the actor created a micro-blog, dedicated to “all the people who like to roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, which gained more than 100,000 fans in just two days.
Offbeat China gives us the key to mastering the roaring mode of writing:
First, prepare yourself and get emotional, better if a little bit hysteria, just a little bit. Secondly, title the article with “xxx你伤不起” (ni shang bu qi, meaning “you cannot afford to hurt xxx”). Thirdly, fill the body with rhetorical questions ending with “有木有” (you mu you, meaning “isn’t there not”; or “isn’t it true”), and occasionally “尼玛/尼马” (ni ma, used interchangeably with 你妈 (ni ma), literally meaning “your mother” but usually used to express the feeling of WTF). Last but not least, use an excess of “啊” (a, meaning “ah”) and the exclamatory mark “!”.
Here is an example for what the mastery of roaring looks like in all its glory:
(What is engineering department)
(It is not the department for engineers ah)
(It is the club of blind dates ah)
(Yet it exists in name only ah)
(Because none of the blind dates turn to a relationship ah)
Now that you know, go forth and roar ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It just needs to know how to orient each tile within the special, in case the mapgen was oriented differently or something.
Let’s step by step it.
You created a new location right? I’ll assume its more than 1 tile/location if you’re trying to make a map special. Okay. Those entries have an “id”, which we’ll need.
Now, you need to create an overmap terrain entry for each of those tiles. Here’s an example of one from my caches mod.
"name": "prepper cache",
The id has to match the id of the corresponding location entry (I always make them match, anyway). You have to do this for each tile you’ve created.
Then you create an overmap_specials entry where you tell the game how to stitch those locations into one large location as discussed above. Again, this “id” much match the id of the location, but also should have a direction tag after it.
You can see a full example of this on my github: https://github.com/TheMurderUnicorn/PrepperCache
I know there are examples in the core game, but my mod has these broken down into three files (which are smaller than the long lists in the game). C_caches has the locations. C_om_terrain has the om_terrain entries. C_om_specials has the entry where its all stitched together.
o_o That all sound very confusing? Probably. But hopefully that helps. . ?
Alternatively, you can show what you’ve been working on and maybe get some more targeted insight.

"Last year, representatives from the National Turf Writers Association requested we consider a proposal changing the system that requires a certain percentage of ballots being cast in favor of a candidate," von Stade said. "Since then, the executive committee of the museum board has discussed the issue at a series of meetings over many months."We believe the new system makes election to the Hall of Fame slightly more difficult," von Stade said, "and that insures the integrity of the honor even more than the previous system did."
The board of trustees of the National Museum of Racing has approved recommended changes in voting procedures for Thoroughbred racing's Hall of Fame, museum president John von Stade announced Friday.The key changes are a conversion to a percentage system and the lengthening of the jockey eligibility requirement from 15 to 20 years of riding. The change in jockey eligibility will take effect in 2006.Approximately 150 writers, broadcasters, and historians vote for four Hall of Fame categories after the Hall of Fame nominating committee has arrived at a slate of finalists. Under the new system, each category will have five nominees, and voters can vote for up to three in each category. A nominee must receive "for" votes on 75% or more of the ballots cast in order to be elected. However, if in any category more than one receives 75% or more "for" votes, only the candidate with the highest total is elected.

text: External quality assurance (EQA) provides ongoing evaluation to verify that laboratory medicine results conform to quality standards expected for patient care. While attention has focused predominantly on test accuracy, the diagnostic phases, consisting of pre- and post-laboratory phases of testing, have thus far lagged in the development of an appropriate diagnostic-phase EQA program. One of the challenges faced by Australian EQA has been a lack of standardisation or "harmonisation" resulting from variations in reporting between different laboratory medicine providers. This may introduce interpretation errors and misunderstanding of results by clinicians, resulting in a threat to patient safety. While initiatives such as the Australian Pathology Information, Terminology and Units Standardisation (PITUS) program have produced Standards for Pathology Informatics in Australia (SPIA), conformity to these requires regular monitoring to maintain integrity of data between sending (laboratory medicine providers) and receiving (physicians, MyHealth Record, registries) organisations' systems. The PITUS 16 Informatics EQA (IEQA) Project together with the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia Quality Assurance Programs (RCPAQAP) has created a system to perform quality assurance on the electronic laboratory message when the laboratory sends a result back to the EQA provider. The purpose of this study was to perform a small scale pilot implementation of an IEQA protocol, which was performed to test the suitability of the system to check compliance of existing Health Level-7 (HL7 v2.4) reporting standards localised and constrained by the RCPA SPIA. Here, we present key milestones from the implementation, including: (1) software development, (2) installation, and verification of the system and communication services, (3) implementation of the IEQA program and compliance testing of the received HL7 v2.4 report messages, (4) compilation of a draft Informatics Program Survey Report for each laboratory and (5) review consisting of presentation of a report showing the compliance checking tool to each participating laboratory.

Posted 24/09/2020 by Amy Patterson
New Support for Businesses and Employees
Today, 24th September, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the next wave of support for businesses and employees.
New Jobs Support Scheme
The Chancellor unveiled his new Coronavirus Jobs Support Scheme (CJSS) which will come into play the day after the existing Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) finishes at the end of October.
Here are the facts:
Self Employed Support
The Chancellor has extended the self-employed grant on similar terms to the Job Support Scheme.
The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme has been extended until 30th April 2021 and a grant will be available to those eligible for this scheme. The grant will cover three months’ worth of profits for the period November to end of January 2021. It will cover 20% of average monthly profits up to a total of £1,875.
A further grant may be available to self-employed to cover February 2021 to the end of April 2021.
Self-assessed income taxpayers who need extra help can now extend their outstanding tax bill over 12 months from January.
VAT for Hospitality and Tourism Sectors
Chancellor Rishi Sunak also announced the continuation of the reduced VAT for the hospitality and tourism sectors until 31st March 2021.
Extension for BBLS and CBILS – Pay As You Grow
The government has announced a ‘pay as you grow’ plan and are to support over 1 million businesses to relieve pressure on their finances and cashflow by extending the application period for four government-backed loan schemes to the end of the year as well as changing the terms of repayment for BBLS and CBILS – these can now be extended from 6 to 10 years.
Here are the facts:
Businesses who deferred their VAT will no longer have a lump sum to pay at the end of March 2021. They will have the option to split into smaller, interest frees payments over the course of 11 months.
As the government provides more detailed guidance on the new measures we will of course provide updates as they are available.

Probably most of the people have the concept that much money buys highest quality product.
In most cases, this is indeed true.
Expensive electric scooters usually mean better performance (e.g. faster speed, longer range, shorter charging times, better durability and portability).
However, not everyone has a mine at home, hahaha.
For those who are not chasing for a big brand, we can get a nice e-scooter but don't need to pay a high price.
For sure, we can't buy an electric scooter for the same price as a normal bike either, which is also unrealistic.
Of course, different scooters are designed for different purposes thus we have e-scooters at different price. Electric scooters for kids are usually more affordable than electric scooters for adults.
So, how much do I need to spend to get a decent electric scooter?
How much does an electric scooter cost ( adults & kids)?
It is possible to buy a basic electric scooter adults for under £100 on the market, while high-end electric scooters can cost over £6,000.
However, electric scooters uk in the price range of £300-£1,000 are the choice for most people.
The price range of the electric skateboards for kids is generally between £100 and £300.
Why are electric scooters so expensive?
Electric scooters are much more expensive than kick electric scooters due to the accessories.
The most expensive accessories are the battery and electric motor. Of course, the better the configuration, the higher the price of the electric scooter, and here we exclude for the brand effect.
As we know, batteries are very expensive and nearly a third of the overall cost of an electric scooter is contributed by the battery.
After all, the higher the power of the battery, the better the overall performance of the electric scooter.
The larger the battery capacity, the more power the scooter will have and the longer range.
- Electric Motor
The motor doesn't cost as much as the battery, but expensive too! After all, the motor drives the wheels, absorbs the shocks and vibrations in ride and plays an important role on an e-scooter. Good performance needs powerful motors!
In addition, the special features of regenerative braking and special bearings, etc. add up to increase the price on the e-scooter.
- R&D Costs
Whenever a new phone is launched, it tends to cost more than the precious one. That's because new phones cost a lot of money, manpower, equipment and so on for researches and developments.
The same is true of e-scooters, including testing, research, controller apps, and more cost.
Is it worth to buy an electric scooter?
As long as you buy a scooter and don't let it end up as a shelf or dusty habitat, then I think it's worth the money.
Make the most of your purchase and use it for what it's worth.
Of course, above is what I think but not your thoughts.
I don't care if you buy it for fun or for commuting or just for riding to the nearby 2km shopping mall. If you think it's worth then it is worthy. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not.
Hahahaha just kidding, I indeed hope you won’t regret buying an electric scooter afterwards.

Bruce Willis and Director Len Wiseman to team up again for a ‘Die Hard’ prequel
""Live Free or Die Hard" Director Len Wiseman talks about his new plans for Die Hard prequel."
Bruce Willis has announced he is returning for a sixth installment of the Die Hard
, this time a prequel/sequel entitled "Year One", according to Collider.com
Director Len Wiseman (Underworld
) stated that after working with Bruce on their previous collaboration, Live Free or Die Hard
, the series’ fourth installment, they spoke about John McClane’s origins, and how they could explore about what made him the man he is.
Wiseman stated, “After doing the fourth one, there were so many conversations that Bruce and I were having about what he put into the character for Die Hard. That character comes with so much baggage, emotionally, and experience. He’s already divorced, he’s bitter; his Captain doesn’t want him back. So who created that guy?”
“We’ve never see the actual love story (between McClane and his wife Holly). We know its demise, but we’ve never seen that it was like when he met Holly, or when he was a beat cop in ’78 in New York, when there was no chance of making him detective.”
As far as when shooting begins, Wiseman says his focus on his upcoming television show Lucifer
has kept "Year One" on a shifting timetable. The search will be underway for an unknown actor to play young John McClane, since Willis is so associated the John McClane character.
“It intercuts in a very fun, imaginative way with present day John McClane…The film itself will take place on New Years’ Eve 1979, so trying to gear things before that would be fun.” Wiseman also says.
There is currently no release date on the new Die Hard

Fred Sandback (1943–2003) was an American artist known for sculptures that outlined planes and volumes in space. Though he employed metal wire and elastic cord early in his career, the artist soon dispensed with mass and weight by using acrylic yarn to create works that address their physical surroundings, the “pedestrian space,” as Sandback called it, of everyday life. By stretching lengths of yarn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally at different scales and in varied configurations, the artist developed a singular body of work that elaborated on the phenomenological experience of space and volume with unwavering consistency and ingenuity.

Would you believe this song was written by the same songwriting team that wrote The Wizard of Oz, Harold Arlen and E. Y. Harburg? It's true. They created this number for comedian Groucho Marx to sing in the 1939 movie At the Circus. It's a tour de force of comedic writing, in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan. An absolute must-have for men's groups.

One of the key elements of the new Cressi Gara Modular Impulse is definitely the material of the blade. This is an elasticized technopolymer compound developed by Cressi, extremely resistant to ant shock, flexion and stress, making accidental breakage almost impossible. This is one key point also in comparison with composite material blades that, as well made as they can be, will always suffer shocks and could break with time.
The foot pocket is the well-known solution in thermoplastic rubber by Cressi, in two different stiffness compounds (light grey softer, 65° Shore, and dark grey harder, 75° Shore), with the Self Adjusting system that perfectly adapts to the foot, especially hosting at best the instep.
Also important is the inclusion in the range of the smallest size, the 36/37, up to the size 46/47. Not only that, two anatomical insoles right and left in recycled rigid plastic can now be inserted into the shoe to better adapt the foot, also on the basis of the thickness of the socks in the transition from the hot season to the colder one.
The lateral nerves have been reduced in thickness to interact less in the curving phase of the blades, but still, well connect them to the foot-pocket and channel the water along the blade.
The water-rails are also specifically built for best performance and are made of thermoplastic rubber, which is soft enough not to influence the correct reactivity of the blade.
Design, dimensions and weight
This aspect, the design of the Cressi Gara Modular Impulse fins, probably goes even beyond the materials used. The first aspect, still linked to the functioning and bending curve of the blade, is its differentiated thickness design, going progressively from 4 mm in front of the foot, to 2 mm at the tip, which permits to have that parabolic curve that is today considered the most efficient solution for best propulsion with reduced force and fatigue.
On top of this, another key aspect of the design of the Cressi Gara Modular Impulse is the angle between blade and foot-pocket, which also follows the most modern solution of 29°, considered the best geometry for the most efficient transmission of the force from the foot to the blade, with no tiring effect on the ankle.
But this is not all. Another key aspect of the design of the Cressi Gara Modular Impulse fins is the fact that the water rails are one-piece integrated with the blades, and have a specific variable height design for best performance.
The flap has a dovetail design for best control and directionality of water flow and diver.
Blade maximum length measured from the curve under the footpocket, goes from 63 cm laterally to 59 cm centrally. Maximum wigth of the blade measured internally to the water-rails is 20,7 cm. Water-rails are 29 cm long with a variable height from 0 to 1.8 cm maximum.
The weight of each blade, including the integrated water rails, is 420 grams, the foot-pocket size 42-43 weighs 555 grams and the total weight of one fin, including connection screws and clips, is 985 grams. The optional sole weighs 65 grams.
One of the key elements of the blades of the Cressi Gara Modular Impulse, the variable thickness, permits to have the most efficient bending curve, the parabolic one, which is indeed a great step forward in the polymer blades sector.
All the advanced solutions brought in by Cressi with these new fins seem to confirm a net improvement in performance and a very close situation between the Cressi Gara Modular Impulse and the best carbon fiber fins on the market. All this, with an amazingly lower price (check the web) and much greater resistance to shocks by the polymer fins.

Listen to music websites is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Music can rev you up when you’re out of energy and calm you down when you have too much of it. It can comfort you when you’re sad and accompany your happiest moments. But what if listening to music could also earn you extra cash?
Believe it or not, there’s a growing number of ways you can get paid to listen to music websites. It’s one of the easiest and most fun ways to make money online. In this guide, we’ll uncover some of the best opportunities anyone can try to get paid to listen to music websites.
If you love sharing your opinions on music, Slicethepie may be one of the best ways to make some extra cash. Slicethepie is one of the largest paid review sites online. All you have to do is sit back, listen to music websites, and then write reviews about it.
You can earn cash for every review that you submit. How much you’ll get paid depends on the quality of your review and the category of music. But the average payout per review is 10 cents. Once you’ve earned $10, you can request a transfer to your PayPal account.
Musicxray is a platform for singers/songwriters to submit their songs and earn money by listening to music. It’s a website that connects artists to talent hunters. These artists pay a certain fee to promote their music and to build a fan base by submitting their songs to the portal and generating follower-ship.
Users can sign up as fans to listen to music websites of their own choice. These users or fans are then paid by the website to listen to the music of such amateur artists. The recordings are mostly only 30 seconds long. Musicxray pays its users through PayPal only. They pay their users 10 cents per song. The minimum threshold for a payout is $20.
3. Playlist Push
How cool would it be if you could listen to music websites and get paid for reviewing them? Playlist Push lets you do exactly that. The idea behind the platform is to support indie artists and singers and help talented singers reach the top level. If you think you have a taste for music and are good at writing reviews then this website is for you.
To qualify for the curator program, you have to be the owner of a playlist on Spotify, YouTube music, or Apple music. You should also have a considerable number of followers; otherwise, your application might get rejected.
Playlist Push offers a great pay rate. For each song you review, you will earn $12. Payments are sent directly to your bank account.
4. Listen to Certain Radio Stations
You can also get paid to listen to radio stations. A lot of online music companies have affiliations with online radio stations. Earnably, for example, is affiliated with RadioLoyalty, an online radio station. The payment system works in points; you have to accumulate points to get paid. Moreover, Earnably has multiple cash incentives throughout the month, offering you money to tune into specific radio programs.
5. Review Music
Of course, if you can get paid to rate music, you can also get paid to review it. Websites like Hit Predictor and Slice the Pie pay handsomely for music reviews. After signing up, you get a list of songs, and you must review each one. If you’re writing more reviews in less time, you get bonus rewards like Amazon gift cards. Hit Predictor generally pays $1 for every three reviews. If you’re writing longer reviews, you can earn even more.
6. Transcribe Lyrics
You can find multiple online transcription jobs that include lyrics transcription. If you use an iPhone, you can transcribe lyrics for apps like Welocalize and earn around $4 per transcription. Although Welocalize is a popular transcription service, it is only compatible with iOS users as its music database is on iTunes. To join their team of transcriptionists, you should download the app and make an account. Then, watch the introduction video to get started.
RadioEarn is another site that lets you earn passive income for listening to music. Once you sign up for a free account, you can start listening to online radio stations and earning points. You can also use RadioEarn’s API (application programming interface) to embed a radio station on your own website. You’ll earn points for every fifteen minutes that you listen to music websites. You can receive payouts every month in the form of Amazon gift cards, Bitcoin, or bank transfers.
Cash4Minutes is an outlier on this list because it monetizes your unused phone minutes in exchange for listening to the internet radio. To earn money, you have to call one of the provided numbers to listen to the radio broadcast. You’ll earn a small amount for each minute you tune in. When it’s time to cash out, you can collect via Paypal, Bitcoin, bank transfer, or Amazon gift card.
Earnably is a site on which users complete different tasks for points. These tasks range from answering survey questions to watching music videos and listening to radio stations. Earnably also lets you earn extra points with special tasks such as tuning in to a specific program.
The more music you stream, the more points you can collect. You can redeem your points for Amazon gift cards, Bitcoin, or PayPal transfers. However, you need to earn at least 225 points to begin redeeming. That’s equal to $2.
10. Start a music podcast
Another way to make money listening to music is to start your own music podcast. Invite your friends who are musicians or independent artists to participate and play music for your audience members. Offer a mix of exclusive interviews and original content. You can make money by getting advertisers to sponsor your program.
HitPredictor wants you to review a song or track before it goes into the market. You need to listen and rate a new song, write feedback to the artists, composers, or radio stations. You will be earning points for each review you write. If you review a definite number of songs in a definite period as required by HitPredictor then you will get bonus points too. You can exchange all these points for Amazon gift cards.
This is another GPT website where you can make money by doing different tasks. This site offers you a signup bonus of $5. One of the several tasks that FusionCash pays you for doing is listening to their radio that works with RadioLoyalty.
To sign up with FusionCash, you must be 13 years or more if you are a US resident and 18 years or more if you are from other countries. This site pays you in cash for listening to music. You can withdraw your earnings through PayPal or cheque once they reach a threshold limit of $25.
13. Music Xray
Music Xray is a New York-based music tech company. This is another platform where you can get paid to listen to music websites. Making money on this website is pretty simple. You need to do nothing else except listening to music.
First of all, you need to create an account on this app and take a survey where they will try to know your music preferences. Once you sign up you will be called a “Music fan” and can find music that suits your taste. As a music fan, you need to rate songs and artists. You will earn 10 cents for each song you rate.
research.fm is a music research company where you can make money by listening to music. This company runs an app as well as a site where you can submit your inputs on the kind of music you want to hear.
They have a secured server where you can listen to short music samples and rate them. They also pay you for giving feedback on new songs via the emailed surveys. All the earnings you accumulated here can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards.
This is a different option to earn through music compared to the above ones. Welocalize is a transcription service company. Here you will not get paid to listen to music websites instead you will be paid for transcribing music lyrics.
If you are a music lover and also know how to transcribe then this is a great money-making option for you. This job, however, takes a bit more time than the time taken for listening to a song. Similarly, the pay is also more. Welocalize currently pays $4 for transcribing a song.
16. Current Rewards
Current Rewards is a multimedia platform that allows you to earn money by listening to more than 100000 stations on your smartphone’s lock screen. You need to download their app and after that every time you swipe your lock screen you can listen to the radio stations of your choice. You will be given credits for this which you can redeem for cash or gift cards, or even gadgets. However, there is a daily credit limit. This company claims that an active user can earn nearly $120 per year.
17. Try OpinionCity
Have you ever tried online surveys? How many websites did you sign up? Here is the real one you must join. OpinionCity is not a survey platform. It is a platform that connects all the legit and high-paying survey platforms in one place. Without going anywhere, you can browse the best offers within less amount of time. Give OpinionCity a try if you are interested.
If you are familiar with focus groups and paid online surveys, you know that a lot of companies use feedback from panelists to fine tune their product before releasing them to the market. Hitpredictor helps artists do exactly that by paying you (the user) to listen to music websites and share your opinion.
Artists then use that feedback to determine whether they can release the new song or album as is or to make adjustments first. You’re not limited either. You can find music in all kinds of genres, including Classical, Jazz, Rock and Roll, and even Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. You earn 3 points (equal to $1) for every song you rate. You can redeem your earnings with free gift cards. They also have daily contests that you can participate in to win gift cards.
FusionCash is similar to Unique Rewards. It also pays for doing all kinds of tasks including listening to the internet radio. FusionCash has a $25 minimum cash-out requirement. Once you have $25, you can request a payment by check, direct deposit, or PayPal. By the way, they pay you a $5 bonus just for signing up (which is free!)
All in all, there are many ways to get paid to listen to music websites. If you’re a music lover, you should check out these ten ways to make money listening to songs. While it may sound unbelievable at first, with the right resources, you can eventually make a living listening to music.
From being a successful blogger to a part-time transcriptionist, you can do it all. If you love it, making money listening to your favorite music becomes a passive income stream. By gaining experience, you also accumulate knowledge and skills about the business, making it easier to earn more with time.

Dell Gets Big Storage Win In Japan
Round Rock-based Dell is reporting today that it has scored a big customer win in Japan, with the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST). Dell said that JAIST will be using its Dell Compellant arrays, in a three petabyte storage deployment. Dell said the new storage arays will be deployed to store research data for students and researchers. Financial details of the win were not announced.


The Business Central Admin Center API makes managing apps and environments easier. It provides a fast way to access the Admin Center functionality without accessing the user interface. In this post, we’ll cover the essentials, from initial app registration in Azure to environment and application management.
- App Registration
- Manage Environments
- Manage Applications
The Admin Center API is only available for cloud environments. The way to access Business Central APIs is always the same, via Azure and using OAuth. The App Registration in Azure is simple, similar to the one we used in this article. Check it out if you need more details.
The only difference is that in this case, we are using “Mobile and desktop applications” for the authentication platform and setting up “http://localhost” as the redirect URI.
After registering the application, authorize the application in the Business Central Admin Center under Microsoft Entra Apps (former Azure Active Directory). If you don’t, you will get a 401 Unauthorized error when trying to connect.
To connect to Business Central Admin API we will use PowerShell. Make sure to open it as an Administrator.
We will be following the scripts provided by Microsoft allocated in this GitHub repo:
As you will see, there are very useful scripts.
We will use the Authenticate.ps1 script first.
You may have to run this command (Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned) to allow the execution of the script. You can run “Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted” after to revert to the original state.
Setting the Parameters app Id, RedirectUri, and Tenand Id of Business Central. These will be the variables to use when running the script.
Run this command once. You may have to run the import command as well once installed. MSAL.NET is an authentication library that enables you to acquire tokens from Azure AD to access protected Web APIs.
This is how to retrieve the access token.
If you run the command and encounter an error saying “the command is not completed”, you can add the application secret manually, however, it’s not required if everything goes correctly.
When you run the script the first time, you’ll have to log in with your business central account.
If the execution of the script succeeds, you will get the token and its information.
Now, we are ready to manage the environment and its apps.
For example, we can create, update, or delete environments. You can find examples here.
First, we can list all the environments in the tenant.
And, for example, restart an environment if needed.
With this script, we will see a list of installed AppSource apps for a specific environment.
And see if any of them have available updates.
In short, we can do any operation available from the UI of the Business Central Admin Center. For example, we can see the same information about the “Base Application” update for Sandbox001.
Find the whole script here.
That´s all. Hope you find it helpful.

Determining which obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) option works best for individual patients remains a significant challenge and patient access to the different treatments varies across Canada.
To offer health care providers and policy-makers guidance on treating OSA,Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) CADTH and its Health Technology Expert Review Panel (HTERP) have published new evidence-informed recommendations.
- For patients with mild OSA who are not overweight or obese: HTERP does not recommend active treatment.
- For patients with mild OSA who are overweight or obese: HTERP recommends lifestyle interventions.
- For patients with moderate or severe OSA: HTERP recommends continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). For those same patients for whom CPAP is unacceptable, HTERP recommends the use of oral appliances.
- HTERP does not recommend surgical maxillomandibular advancement in patients with OSA, unless other interventions have failed or are unacceptable to the patient.
“Sleep apnea robs people of the quality rest that we know is essential to good health,” says Stirling Bryan, MS, PhD, chair of HTERP and director of the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Evaluation at the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Centre, in a release. “This was top of mind for the panel and we worked hard to give decision-makers recommendations that are guided by the best evidence and will help people living with OSA get the best possible outcomes from their treatment.”
The recommendations and supporting evidence reports are available at www.cadth.ca/OSA.


I hope this means we are entering a new era of fulfilment of promises by Nigeria’s Federal Government. Former Super Eagles coach Clemens Westerhof, who has been described as ‘Nigeria’s greatest coach’, has finally gotten a housing allocation by the Federal Government, 25 years after a promise to do so was made to him.
Westerhof made history with Nigeria by coaching the country’s national team that qualified for the USA94 football World Cup.
A grateful nation promised him a house for that feat. But sadly, many governments came and went without fulfilling the pledge.
It was as if Nigeria has become an ungrateful nation. But like the biblical Joseph who was remembered after being forgotten, Westerhof has been remembered.
One thing tho; Westerhof’s serious, unsmiling countenance as he received the papers to the house showed he was disappointed at being ignored all these years.
I hope we improve on promise keeping in this country.
As President Buhari prepares to enter his second term, we hope for bumper fulfilment of promises made by government to the people of Nigeria. Amen.

We have today published the video and minutes from the Cross-Party Group on Sustainable Transport meeting, where Bruce Whyte, the Public Health Programme Manager at Glasgow Centre for Population Health, discussed what health impacts have resulted from the increase in road traffic over the past 50+ years.
As part of his presentation, Bruce highlighted that in Glasgow, only 50% of people have access to a car; and that this percentage of the population are overwhelmingly those from lower income families. However, by contrast, children living in poorer areas are far more likely to be injured by a car than those who live in wealthier areas.
This is a stark picture, which indicates the unequal impacts that the increase in road traffic and emissions are having in our cities.
Transform’s communications officer, Rachel McFarlane, commented:
“Bruce’s excellent presentation considers such statistics, and builds a compelling argument as to why we must reallocate car space to provide public areas which benefit everyone instead, not just car drivers.
“When less people drive, more people feel safe to walk, wheel and cycle. This is an important shift we must make if we are to improve public health, air pollution levels and our climate.”

Informations and abstract
Keywords: Kessler, Models of Femininity, Variety Entertainment, Italian Television, Celebrity Studies
This essay analyzes the case of the artistic duo formed by Alice and Ellen Kessler in Italy during the early ‘60s. Following the cultural and social changes that take place in Italian society during those years, the model of femininity proposed by the Kesslers took shape in two distinct and contradictory directions. Through the analysis of some of their public appearances (between cinema, theater and television), together with the discourses that emerge from the Italian press of the period, it is possible to underline how the classic stereotypes about the sensuality of their bodies (their resemblance to each other, their legs, their «blondness», etc.) intertwined with an imaginary that was opposed to the classic association between foreign divas and sexual freedom («cold sensuality», Germanicity, and even some references to Nazism).

You should also know that a lot of people are deficient in Vitamin D. In the USA & many other western regions in the world, vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic proportions. The best way to increase your D levels is sun exposure. You only need 20-30 minutes of exposure to a large amount of skin (i.e., take your shirt off and go for a walk during the day).
Testosterone makes a contribution to nitric oxide formation. Nitric oxide, released from penile nerves stimulates guanylate cyclase which catalyzes the transformation of guanosine-5-triphosphate into 3′,5′-cyclic, guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP). Gyclic GMP causes vasodilatation and hence erection formation (Morelli et al 2005). The breakdown of cyclic GMP to GMP is mediated by the enzyme, phosphodiesterase type-5, the inhibitors of which (eg, sildenafil citrate) enhance erection formation and maintanence (Carson and Lue 2005).
We all remember the time during our teens where our body underwent majority of its changes that led us into adulthood. As far as testosterone levels go, this period of time is where the production of this hormone peaked. Testosterone levels during these teenage years remain high and consistent, and therefore it is not advisable to use a testosterone boosting supplement during this time. This is because, Natural Testosterone Boosters work by encouraging your body to increase it;s natural levels back to their maximum capacity. If your body is already producing it’s maximum amount of Testosterone, these products will be ineffective for you. You should be prioritising quality, intense training sessions with adequate nutrition, rich in protein and carbohydrates to elicit growth and repair.
This doesn’t mean Super Test is perfect — we take a closer look at some of its ingredients below — but it beats out the competition. Every other supplement we looked at either didn’t have all four ingredients, overdosed us on vitamins or minerals (a good way to develop kidney and liver problems), contained ingredients that would harm us, or some combination thereof.
In Western society, we seek help from pharmaceuticals at the onset of a problem the way a toddler calls for mommy every time he needs to pee. The toddler will soon realize that he actually does not need a 3rd party to relieve himself. In the same light, you most likely do not need pro-hormones, hormone replacement therapy, testosterone patches and creams, injections, or contraband steroids. There are natural approaches to amplifying your testosterone levels.
If you do take DAA I recommend cycling it (i.e. 5 days on, 2 off, over 4 weeks then 4 weeks off). And taking it with an aromatase inhibitor (which ensures the aspartic acid doesn’t get converted to estrogen). Especially as more studies are coming out showing the increase in testosterone is limited to a week or two before it drops back to normal levels.
However, some of these signs and symptoms can be caused by factors other than low testosterone, including medication side effects, thyroid problems, depression and excessive alcohol use. There are also conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea, that might affect testosterone levels. Once these conditions are identified and treated, testosterone typically will return to a normal level.
The mechanism of age related decreases in serum testosterone levels has also been the subject of investigation. Metabolic clearance declines with age but this effect is less pronounced than a reduction in testosterone production, so the overall effect is to reduce serum testosterone levels. Gonadotrophin levels rise during aging (Feldman et al 2002) and testicular secretory responses to recombinant human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) are reduced (Mulligan et al 1999, 2001). This implies that the reduced production may be caused by primary testicular failure but in fact these changes are not adequate to fully explain the fall in testosterone levels. There are changes in the lutenising hormone (LH) production which consist of decreased LH pulse frequency and amplitude, (Veldhuis et al 1992; Pincus et al 1997) although pituitary production of LH in response to pharmacological stimulation with exogenous GnRH analogues is preserved (Mulligan et al 1999). It therefore seems likely that there are changes in endogenous production of GnRH which underlie the changes in LH secretion and have a role in the age related decline in testosterone. Thus the decreases in testosterone levels with aging seem to reflect changes at all levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis. With advancing age there is also a reduction in androgen receptor concentration in some target tissues and this may contribute to the clinical syndrome of LOH (Ono et al 1988; Gallon et al 1989).

Another recent development is the production of adhesive tablets which are applied twice daily to the buccal mucosa on the gum above the incisor teeth. The tablets gradually release testosterone into the systemic venous circulation and steady state physiological concentrations are achieved in most patients within two days (Ross et al 2004). Some patients do not like the feeling of the tablet in the mouth or find that there is an abnormal taste in the mouth, but local adverse effects are usually mild and transient (Wang, Swerdloff et al 2004).
That said, keep in mind that using leucine as a free form amino acid can be highly counterproductive as when free form amino acids are artificially administrated, they rapidly enter your circulation while disrupting insulin function, and impairing your body's glycemic control. Food-based leucine is really the ideal form that can benefit your muscles without side effects.
Vitamin D is arguably the most important vitamin when it comes to testosterone. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology examined the relationship between vitamin D supplementation and testosterone levels in men. The authors found that participants with higher levels of vitamin D had significantly higher levels of free testosterone compared to those with insufficient levels of vitamin D.8 Based on these study results, it appears vitamin D has a strong relationship with testosterone levels.
Studies also show a consistent negative correlation of testosterone with blood pressure (Barrett-Connor and Khaw 1988; Khaw and Barrett-Connor 1988; Svartberg, von Muhlen, Schirmer et al 2004). Data specific to the ageing male population suggests that this relationship is particularly powerful for systolic hypertension (Fogari et al 2005). Interventional trials have not found a significant effect of testosterone replacement on blood pressure (Kapoor et al 2006).
Hypogonadism (as well as age-related low testosterone) is diagnosed with blood tests that measure the level of testosterone in the body. The Endocrine Society recommends testing for suspected low T with a total testosterone test. It may be performed in the morning when testosterone levels tend to be highest in young men, although this isn't necessarily the case in older men. The test may be repeated on another day if the results show a low T level. (5)
"I went from 230 pounds down to 192. When my son got married, I went for the suit fitting, and I was a size 48. When I went back to do the final fitting, I was a 44! I want to keep getting it for the weight loss; I lost 4 inches around my belly, and I want to get rid of the rest of the weight around my belly. I’m 57, and my wife says I look like I’m back in my 30s. I have more energy for sure, and I’m going to participate in one of those Savage races where they have the obstacle courses with one of our kids."
Although some men believe that taking testosterone medications may help them feel younger and more vigorous as they age, few rigorous studies have examined testosterone therapy in men who have healthy testosterone levels. And some small studies have revealed mixed results. For example, in one study healthy men who took testosterone medications increased muscle mass but didn't gain strength.

Senators introduce legislation named after Bucks County pilot to improve airline safety
WASHINGTON, D.C. >> U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) on March 23 introduced the Saracini Enhanced Aviation Safety Act (S.911) to strengthen legislation that would make airplanes less susceptible to hijacking.
The legislation is named after a Bucks County resident, Captain Victor Saracini, who was piloting United Flight 175 when it was hijacked by terrorists and flown into the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
Provisions of the Saracini Aviation Act were enacted in 2018 and required the installation of a secondary barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit door on each new aircraft purchased in the United States. The enhanced bill would mandate that secondary barriers be applied to all passenger airplanes, not only newly manufactured planes. U.S. Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-01), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ-05), André Carson (D-IN-07) and Chris Smith (R-NJ-04) introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives.
“The Saracini Aviation Act made air transportation safer for all pilots and passengers,” said Senator Casey. “This ‘enhanced’ version of that legislation is an important step in preventing future disasters by protecting pilots’ cockpit doors during flights in all passenger airplanes. Secondary barriers have been shown to significantly decrease the threat of a hostile takeover of the cockpit. Congress must take up this legislation to step up security in commercial travel and prevent potential hijacking.”
“On September 11, 2001, Bucks County native Captain Victor Saracini was piloting United Flight 175 when a group of terrorists hijacked the flight and flew it into the World Trade Center. With the help of Captain Saracini’s wife, Ellen, we enacted legislation requiring secondary barriers to be installed on all new commercial passenger aircraft. But the barriers can’t help protect all commercial travelers if they are not required for commercial aircraft already operating," said Senator Toomey.
"That is why this legislation requires secondary barriers to be installed on all commercial passenger aircraft – whether new or currently operating. I am grateful for Ellen Saracini’s tireless work to advance this legislation, and am proud to work with Senator Casey in honoring Captain Saracini and protecting the traveling public,” Toomey said.
“Ensuring the safety of our nation’s aircraft is paramount to protecting the American public. Congress previously made progress in ensuring that all future commercial aircraft are equipped with secondary barriers, so we must build on that momentum in this 117th Congress and include the same requirement for all existing commercial passenger aircraft,” said Bucks County Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick. “I am proud to stand with my constituent, Ellen Saracini, along with Senators Casey and Toomey and Representatives Gottheimer, Carson, and Smith as we continue our fight to ensure that the devastating horrors of 9/11 never happen again.”
In 2019, Senators Casey and Toomey sent a letter to Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Elaine Chao, urging DOT to strictly enforce their legislation. The Senators pushed back against voices in the airline industry that had argued that the Saracini Aviation Act only applied to new “models” of aircraft, when in fact the legislation mandates that secondary barriers be installed on all new aircrafts for commercial passenger air carriers in the United States, not just new types, or models, of aircraft.

OSWEGO – Several Oswego City School District modified, junior varsity and varsity student athletes have been busy this summer focusing on their fitness levels to improve their on-field or on-court abilities for the 2018-19 school year.
That is being accomplished through the new strength and conditioning program, available from 5 to 8 p.m. Mondays to Fridays through Aug. 10.
For several weeks during the summer months, students from all sports teams were welcomed to work under the guidance of Cheyenne Vivlamore Zion.
“I’m extremely happy schools are stepping up,” she said. “It helps prevent injuries and helps create success because it enhances athletic performance.”
During a recent workout, several female athletes from the soccer program were tasked with sets of hip circles because Vivlamore Zion said girls tend to have more hip injuries since their hips tend to be narrower than hips of boys.
Knowing what areas of the body to target are key for reducing the number of unintended injuries, she said.
Director of Athletics Rhonda Bullard said even she has seen an increase in the athletes’ confidence, which will aide them more during team practices and competitive events.
Strength and conditioning also has helped them identify what areas the athletes needed to work on.
Throughout the past year on the job, Bullard said she observed the processes and looked at what would enhance athletics.
Strong levels of fitness were lacking she said, so strength and conditioning came about to create a foundational plan for the students.
Another benefit to the program, Vivlamore Zion said, is team bonding off the field and court.
An hour or more a few days a week during the summer months will ideally lead to stronger connections and increased communication during games.

LONDON (Reuters) - British finance minister Rishi Sunak said the idea of giving people vaccine passports or certificates to allow them to enter venues or events might be a way to help the country and its economy recover from the coronavirus pandemic.
“Obviously it is a complicated but potentially very relevant question for helping us reopen those parts of our country like mass events,” Sunak told BBC television on Sunday.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week that the government would hold a review to consider the scientific, moral, philosophical and ethical questions about using vaccine certificates for people who have received a coronavirus shot, which could help entertainment and hospitality venues reopen.

AceShowbiz - Rapper The Game has lost his legal battle with bosses at media firm Viacom after a judge ruled they were not financially responsible for a sexual assault lawsuit involving a contestant on his dating show.
The Dreams hitmaker, real name Jayceon Taylor, lost the 2015 suit brought against him by Priscilla Rainey, who claimed she was assaulted while filming a scene in a Los Angeles bar for She's Got Game, in which women competed for the MC's affection.
He denied the accusations and is currently appealing the $7.1 million (£5.3 million) ruling.
Last year (17), The Game decided to take Viacom officials to court to cover the costs of the default judgment, and seek another $13 million (£9.7 million) in damages, alleging company chiefs, who own the VH1 network on which She's Got Game aired, should never have allowed Rainey to appear on the show.
He argued his accuser had a criminal history, which included felony arrests for aggravated battery, and was even highlighted as a possible troublemaker by a doctor working on the show.
However, lawyers for Viacom filed to dismiss the case in June, 2017 and on Tuesday, June 05 a judge sided with them, according to The Blast.
